Clomid buddies?

FX and Goodluck Star e that all goes well and your bloods show a spike xx

 

[wifeybby]

I hate how they're making this TTC Journey harder for you than it already is, Star. That's disgusting they didn't change out the room! That is so unprofessional and unhygienic..! And I'm so sorry the follies were 10mm.. I know the exact feeling of being told "everything is still too small, let's increase your meds now." It's a horrible, sinking feeling.. I hope that tomorrow you'll have the E2 spike and things will be looking better. I so hope you have an awesome chance this cycle, you so deserve it!

Lulu, that is a nice little line for 10dpo, congrats! I think it looks perfect for 10DPO!! FX it's your sticky rainbow baby. Keep it comin' with the line porn!

AFM, I'm 5DPO, wanting to test already but I know I can't lol holding off until 12DPO, one week from today. Dying to know if this cycle is a bust or our life-changing moment.

Goodluck wiffbby for this cycle x

This is my second round on Clomid this time my dr. up the dose to 100 mg and this time around I have had some really bad side effects, I really hope that this works this time. I did a follicle check on 6/21 and they were 13 & 14 which Dr says not ready yet so I go back on Fri. 6/24 for another follicle check. Hoping that they are both a good size so we can do the trigger shot and then the 2 IUI's. I'm hoping for the best. I got pregnant last month but it ended in a miscarriage so now this month I am so anxious for it to happen again.
This process is so stressful, some days I want to give up but I want to be a mother so bad that I can't give up. We have been doing fertility treatments since Dec 2015 and it has been an up hill battle since. Thru this process I have learned so much about the male/female body and how it works.
I have been reading this forum for the pass hour and you ladies are so encouraging. I think having this helps to ease your mind a bit to know others are sharing in this experience with you.

Good Luck to everyone......

[AngelaALA]

Hey Star nothing much to report FF have put my lines in saying I'm 3DPO but I reckon I'm 4DPO but we shall see just playing the waiting game now xx

 

[star_e]

my appointment today was beyond terrible. they could not get the bloods. They went in through all the bruised places. and one of the nurses was extremely rude to me. when she couldn't get it at the first bruised point she went into the second one which was even more bruised and I told her oh is there any other entry point because that really hurts. and she said no there is no other entry point. And I said well it really hurts me a lot if you go in through this site it's so bruised. Then she belittled my pain and said oh come on does it really hurt that bad? she was shockingly insensitive and that was the straw that broke the camels back for me. I mean I am completely bruised up all yellow and blue from her repeated failure to get to my veins. and then adding to that that they didn't change the room The other day and I literally sat on someone else's blood! For me it's just shocking that she isn't super nice trying to make up for the fact of all the blatant errors. no instead she was rude! I told her you all need to be understanding that this is difficult for me and then she told me that I was difficult and that I don't know about her or what she has to go through. in my head I was like what is going on here?!? whatever she was referring to is irrelevant to the nurse patient relationship. I was just shocked that she told me that. she then said very aggressively well what do you want me to do. you keep saying it hurts. and I said I want to talk to the doctor. I was sick of staying
silent and not saying anything.

But instead of the doctor coming in, the embryologist came in and she was a super nice lady and was completely understanding and sympathetic and she tried to get the bloods going through a different area. She went in through the veins on my hand but she couldn't get them either but I was OK with that because she was so nice and understanding. I really liked her. I felt actually supported.

then the doctor came in and I was crying because I was just in pain from when the mean nurse was with me and also just because of how rude she had been and I decided to tell the doctor about how the room had not been changed and she seemed really surprised and apologized but I did not tell her how rude that nurse was and I regret it. So I am going to call back tomorrow to let her know because I don't Think it's right for that to go unsaid. I cried all afternoon and for an hour straight when I got home from work. and now tomorrow morning I'm going to have to go to a lab to see if they can get the blood out of me. So I was unable to get any blood work done today. now going to another clinic is going to be really time-consuming. Fortunately I can go early in the morning before work but I'm just going to be really tired. this is so stressful for me. I am in pain, I'm tired, I've been treated rudely. I mean this is really getting to be too much for me. I had no idea that trying to conceive would involve this much pain with the blood draws. all the bruises. I can still hardly lift my arm it's so badly bruised.

 

[Vankiwi]

Wow Star that is SO crappy! Do you go in really hydrated and warm for your blood tests? That always makes such a difference to me.

I'm so sorry you're being treated that way. Good on you for speaking up. That nurse is a piece of work!!

 

[star_e]

The nurse is so mean. She just doesn't care at all.

I'll try drinking more water. how much do you drink? is it important to be drinking like the day before or the day of?

i've never had this problem before and it just sucks really bad because I have to do such a long stimulation and they have to do the bloods every time I go in and I go in two times a week and it's for several weeks. i'm really sad right now. totally overwhelmed and just sick of it all.

 

[Vankiwi]

TTC is hard enough without all that extra stress. I can tell you though, that if it works, every second will be worth it!

I just drink enough the hour or two beforehand. Like maybe a litre/quart or so?

 

[Kaiecee]

That nurse is a piece of crap and deserves to get fired,who cares what's going on in her life she's their to do a job and to have some type of compassion especially the field she's in.

Hope you get your blood drawn easier I never had that issue but I would go with what others say and make sure you are well hydrated

Welcome Mimi!

Angela- good luck on this cycle...do you know when you are testing?

Star- I am sooo sorry again that you had to go through that!! That is not right they way she I talking to you and I agree you should call and let them know. Have they tried to put with blanket or something warm to help the vein pop a bit? I really hope it's better next time, it sounds like the other people there are very nice!

Wifey-Thank you!!! I'll post today's test.

Afm: I decided to call my RE today to get bloods done...there is a lab that opens super early, so I will go in the morning. I'm nervous because last time I got bloods the first result they told me the numbers indicated a chemical...

 

[LuLu15]

Here's this evenings test. 11dpo/maybe 12dpo

 

[AngelaALA]

That line is getting darker Lulu I'd say it's a definite BFP and I reckon it's a keeper FX for you xx

I'm planning on starting testing on Monday just see how I go xx

Star I agree with everyone else that nurse is disgusting and you have completely done the right thing standing up for yourself the doctor needs to hear about how incompetent they are the rudeness the unable to draw blood then dropping the sample and having to go again the dirty room and you sitting in blood it's disgusting your paying them for a service you are paying towards the running of that practice and they're wages and they need good reviews from customers in order to keep open and keep there jobs it's not like in my country were it's free so you should be given the red carpet treatment. I feel so sorry for you your TTC journey is hard enough without all this going on too I hope the lab draws blood easier hun xx I agree with others drink plenty of water, put something warm on your arm to make the veins pop and used a belt tight around top of arm to get the veins to pop out too xx my heart goes out to you star your journey is being made even more difficult than it needs to be and due to the length of time your in to your treatment you can't exactly leave as it will be back to square one I hope this cycle does work for you xx

 

[krissie328]

Lulu- that's a great line!

Star- I am so sorry the nurses are so awful to you. They shouldn't be making a difficult situation almost unbearable.

 

[Kaiecee]

I think that a good strong line congrats again.

 

[star_e]

thank you all for the support. hardly slept bc of how awful it was. i can't wait to call and let the doc know about the parts I failed to mention like the nurses rudeness and dropping the tube on the floor midway through the draw. it will feel like I got something off my chest. I hope this morning they get my bloods. will drink Extra water.

lulu- that line is so getting darker! fx for you!!!!! oh good luck a the draw results today!

for those of you waiting, I'm sending you tons of positive energy!
