Clomid buddies?

[Vankiwi]

Star 10 weeks already!! Wow that's gone quickly. I have the sonoline B doppler which is good.

 

[krissie328]

I also have the sonoline b, I would highly recommend it. It saved my mind a lot!

I took clomid this cycle with black cohosh.

 

[star_e]

Thank you both for the recommendation!

Krissie is that an herb? I think I've heard of it.

Vankiwiw- how you doing? Any updates?

 

[krissie328]

Yes, it's an herb. It's suppose to help counteract clomid side effects like thinned lining. It also boosts pregnancy rates on clomid by 60%.

 

[star_e]

That's sounds great. Fx!

Krissie FX this cycle hope it goes well and you get a BFP xx

Vankiwi how are you doing xx

Star e thats amazing news so glad its all going well and who cares about the weight right now your preggo hun as long as baby is healthy thats all that counts xx

AFM had my consultation today and did mention about myearly cycle he said its more than likely caused by the clomid and no to worry as they will be regulating/manipulating my cycle with drugs and putting me on progesterone after the insertion of the egg but I think its still wierd since that one day of heavy bleeding all Ive had is slight spotting and thats it but Ill not stress too much as Dr seemed fine about it xx

Well my egg reserves are fantastic a score over 5.5 is considered good and I got 12.4 so Im happy with that, they have found an issue with DHS sperm though he has low mobility so that looks like our issue which is odd as his first test 3 yrs ago didnt pick up on that but these guys now are the specialists and due to that we have to have the more intrusive IVF called ICJS where they physically inject his sperm into the egg. Due to me already having AF we cant start till next cycle so theyre sending all the drugs out then I go back on 16th Dec to go through all the drugs and a test as due to me having an op 12 yrs ago to remove pre cancerous cells they need to make sure that there is no scar tissue causing a blockage. At the appt they will tell me when to start the drugs and hopefully if all goes well by beginning of Jan I should be all pupped up xx

 

[star_e]

Angela that's great news. Your egg reserves are great and you now finally know what the issue is. And there is a specific procedure to help with exactly that. This is promising news for sure. My ftx. So will you do a fresh cycle? Is that what they anticipate?

Afm - have a scan coming up on Monday. Excited to see the baby again. Going to order a home Doppler today. I've been super busy though. Can't wait till things slow down.

 

[krissie328]

Angela- that's great news! Fx for a quick bfp.

Star- how lovely you get to see baby again.

 

[AngelaALA]

Thanks guys Ive still got a month to wait till we start but heres hoping it goes quickly xx

 

[krissie328]

Fx it flies by for you!

AFM AF has started now at usual time still wierd having that heavy morning bleed but could be due to not eating enough and stress with working 9-10 hrs a day then also working on house too xx house is nearly done now not much left and there's no rush now just as long as all complete before xmas thats all xx I spoke to work aswell today as I work shifts 8am-6pm and 1pm till 11pm as if I didnt Id have to take my hormone injections at work as they have to be taken around the same time in the evening, they have been really good and said I can when the time comes change my evening shift to a 10am-8pm to assist, I also get special leave for all the IVF appts which doesnt come out of my normal leave balance which is also good and can take up to a week off after implantation so Im feeling a little more relaxed about it knowing work will support me xx

 

[star_e]

Angela that's great news. so wonderful that you already cleared it with work and they are supportive. not long until you are prepping for egg retrieval. Fx that it all goes well! And congrats on getting the house almost done. Sorry you've been stressed hopefully your schedule gets less busy now that house is almost ready and you can some relaxation time after work. Fx.

 

[Kaiecee]

Cd1 for me but having the worst cramps from ovulating can't wait for that to stop

 

[star_e]

Good luck with this cycle kaicee and so sorry about the cramps. I have found that pamprin really helps with cramps. Hopefully they pass soon.

 

[AngelaALA]

Yeah Star e its nice to be able to actually chill out a little rather than rushing around it means I can now focus on getting healthy in time for IVF and just focus on that xx

Goodluck kiacee hope this cycle is the one xx

 

[star_e]

My scan went well. so relieved. All the measurements they took were normal so we passed the tests yea it's so nice to get to see the baby. moving around so adorable

ive still been taking estrogen and progesterone three times a day and remembered my doc had said to take it up until 11 weeks or through 11 weeks, i couldnt remember. since im at 11 weeks i decided to call and ask and they said i could go ahead and stop now since im at 11 weeks. progesterone is really messy so im glad to be stopping it, just hope everything continues to go well. fx.

ive been having strong mood swings for the past week and half. so im going to try to remember that its just the hormones and i really should try to chill a bit.

how's everyone doing?

 

[krissie328]

That's fantastic star! I'm also glad you put up a ticker for me to stalk.

 

[liz0012]

Hi guys! Congrats on ur positives!!!! How many cycles did u take clomid? I did it 2 n hen one month off and now I just did it again. I'm due to ovulate next weekend. Ugh I'm so over taking it. I feel fat n bloated in it and terrible overt pain. Grrrrr. 2 babies back to back with nothing and here I am having issues with baby 3.

 

[liz0012]

Forgot to ask. I read that people take mucinex to help with cm. When do u take it and how much??

 

[star_e]

I'm happy to have a ticker up I bought the sonolime b Doppler today! I should get it next week hopefully. Is it hard to use? Will it pick up my heartbeat? How do I distinguish mine from the baby's?
