Clomid buddies?

[AngelaALA]

Kalecee yey for the CHS

Oh right mama well FX for you when you planning on going the Dr's xx

 

[star_e]

Angela you are right it is still too early to see the bfp. when will you test next? my fx for you! so hope this is your month.

good luck mama. hope AF does not show! I'm not too familiar w those frer tests. maybe u just need to wait a few more days for the line to get darker.

afm the lab nurse drew the blood perfectly today! first try with no digging. it was perfect. so happy about that.

my Estraildol level has gone up from 58 to 75. they want me to continue on the dose and get another blood test on wed. so far they have not requested that I do another scan. the bloods just need to keep rising. hopefully they will be higher on wed.

I'm cd 23 right now. it's been a long stimulation. I'll be so disappointed if I don't get to the point where I have a chance. here's to hoping I get my chance.

I'll be testing everyday with ICS I know they're not the best so may buy some different ones when I'm 10DPO onwards if I get the feeling that I maybe my Temps this month are really strange though they keep going to 97.90 I know it's not my BBT playing up either as I've been checking it by taking my temp at different times and my temp does change my nappies are still sensitive today as well xx

Star e that's amazing news that your levels are increasing and the lab got your blood first time so made up things are going better glad you finally spoke up xx did you end up calling the doctor and telling them everything have they took any action against the nurse xx FX your levels keep rising hun have they said what level they want them to be at how are the injections going xx

 

[krissie328]

Star- I'm glad your levels are going up! Fx you have a healthy eggie soon.

Angela- strange about your temp staying the same. But it sounds more like it's fine.

Afm, two days until my appt. I'm really hoping my doctor is helpful.

Hi Ladies!

First time posting -- was just trying to do some research on people who have done Clomid that know they ovulate, and have had success. AF is very regular for me, every 28 days... but we've been TTC #1 for 18 months with no success. We've done all the tests and everything came back perfect (HSG/Blood/SA) so I was proscribed Clomid with Progesterone. I'm incredibly nervous and hopeful that this works because a specialist is not covered under our insurance. Today is day 6 and I will take my second dose this evening! Would love to hear from other women who have been in the same boat... What your experiences have been with Clomid, side effects, things I should look for... thanks ladies!

Angela good idea about waiting to get the more expensive tests until you are still farther along. have no idea why your temps are staying exactly the same. that's not bad though is it? I mean it's still above the cover line.

krissie what is being discussed at your appointment?

love 2 run - welcome! i was deemed clomid resistant after I didn't respond to the 150mg dose. I have pcos and do not O on my own. very much hope that clomid does the trick for you! good luck!

afm We wrote a letter to the doc about the nurse and just recently received confirmation that she received it. she said she will look into it and get back to us shortly. so hopefully this issue will be resolved bc that nurse is so rude. I'm so glad I don't get my bloods done by them anymore. the doc needed to be aware of everything. I'm glad i stepped up and told her.

injections are going okay. I have pain on the left side and I think it's an effect from the injections. cm is getting more plentiful. hopefully a good sign. not ew yet though. another blood draw tomorrow. so I'll know what the levels are by tomorrow.

FF has give. me CHs but it's wrong. I think they got a bit higher when I started doing the increased FSH and this weekend I had wine w dinner bc my follies over the weekend were still small. so that raised the temps too. so we'll see what happens over the next few
days. if still high then it must be do to the Higher FSH injections.

 

[krissie328]

Star- I'm glad you were able to get it all out and let the doctor know.

I want to to talk about my two losses and possible continuance of clomid.

 

[AngelaALA]

Krissie I really hope it helps and you get some answers keep us posted xx

Star I'm glad you have done that the DR needs to know who they are employing xx keep us posted how your bloods go xx

Love2run welcome I am like you I O on my own and me and DH done all tests can't find anything wrong so put it down to unexplained infertility which is grim I'm LTTTC been TTC since Nov 2013 this is our 4th month on clomid 50mg taken CD1-5 no progesterone just clomid as they said my progesterone levels were fine the only side effects is 1st month I Od really early as soon as AF went near enough so I missed it 2nd month I over stimulated and released three eggs 3rd my CM dried up and I had to rely on preseed but 4th month everything seems to have leveled out I release around two eggs each time some people suffer from dizziness and flushes on Clomid. I also get very emotional I'm not a very emotional person but on clomid I am I cry over nothing it's weird and my skin explodes in spots and I put on weight as on Clomid I'm constantly hungry xx

Clomid has worked for a lot of people and I hope it works for you FX for you xx

 

[Vankiwi]

Love2Run I was the same, ovulate on my own, all tests clear. Clomid worked for me the first month, 100mg 3-7.

Some side effects suck but are worth it, the 1st time I used clomid I got pregnant first month I ov on my own and also have 8 day cycles the worst side effects I have was pain durin ov and hot flashes fx it works quick.

 

[AngelaALA]

AFM 9DPO BFN and my temp again is 97.90? Very strange I'm going to change the battery in it see if that helps even though I've took my Temps at other times and my Temps have been completely different xx

 

[Kaiecee]

So they changed ov date to Saturday so I think it's going to stick to that now the countdown begins

 

[LuLu15]

Hi ladies!! I've been MIA. I apologize.

Star- so glad your numbers are going up and that the nurses are able to get your blood easier now! Let us know what they tell you today! Fx

Angela- you're still really early! I hope you get that bfp in the next few days!!

Krissie- I hope the docs can give you some answers. My docs finally drew more bloods to see if I have other issues going on. Maybe they can look into it more. Fx for you!!

Kaiecee- when are you going to start testing?


Afm: very long story... I got my bloods Done on 12dpo and they were HCG: 46 and progesterone: 53. I was sooo happy because my numbers prior were no where near this...I kept poas of course and went back Monday to get my repeat bloods she called me Monday afternoon and told me my HCG was only 58!!! 😔 I was so sad, I cried on and off for the rest of the day. She told me if was probably a blighted ovum and that she will talk to the doc and see if they can do other tests to see if I need to start aspirin right after O or other things. I went this morning to get my labs drawn again to make sure the number is going down and for all the other stuff (they took 10 vials!!!) I haven't started to bleed yet and I actually still have a lot of creamy cm (sorry tmi) and also am still getting slight cramping in my lower back. I took another ic yesterday afternoon and the test was darker. I also took an OPK and it's super positive! I don't know what to think...all I can do it sit and wait for results. I'm just hoping I won't need any type of surgery or anything... I'm exhausted and feel like I need a break. I'm trying to stay positive but it's hard.

 

[krissie328]

Lulu- big hugs hun. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

 

[AngelaALA]

Oh Lulu so sorry to hear that I really hope the bean sticks I do I feel for you and know how it feels I've had an MC for a week and half I was stuck in limbo 50 50 whether it would stick or not I felt so helpless and vulnerable we are all here for you wen will you find the results out about your last set of bloods xx

 

[LuLu15]

Thanks ladies!! Just got the call...my HCG is still going up and it's at 81. 🤔🙁 she said she still thinks this is a chemical but the numbers just aren't going down yet...which is weird. She said they want me to get blood work done on Monday again and if I start bleeding to give them a call. Also they want me to go in for an US to see what's going on. I'm just crossing my fingers that it's not an ectopic and I hope I won't lose a tube. That scares me the most. The nurse thought it is weird too that the numbers are still going up.

 

[Kaiecee]

I think not before 12 dpo

So one of my favourite hockey players was traded and I cried like a baby wow hormones suck

 

[star_e]

lulu - i am so very sorry to hear this news. is there a chance that the bean sticks and its not a chemical? i am very uninformed about what the difference is btwn a chemical and ectopic. i'll look it up. but why would you have to have surgery? and what tube would be lost? when will you meet with the doctor to find out more? my ftx for you! sending you warm wishes and hoping for the best.

angela - i think something must be up with the thermometer b/c for it to stay the exact same for so long? usually there are at least little variations. how are you feeling?

krissie - good luck at the appointment! i hope you get answers and good guidance on what to do. keep us updated.

afm - uggg, my estraidol levels went down! i had just reported they went up yesterday. they went from 75 to 71, but i didnt get to speak to the doc. the annoying thing that is happening is that b/c i am going to the lab to get the bloods drawn, i dont go to clinic as often as i used to; so i havent seen the doc in a while. doc is not having me do the scans until the estraildol level gets closer to where it needs to be. so the nurse called me today to tell me the results of the blood draw today (which btw the new lab nurse was able to get again first try no digging ) and i asked her if this was bad and she said no, we just need to increase the fsh dose for the next two days. im supposed to go in for bloods and a scan on friday. the nurse said it wasn't bad that the estraildol went down but i thought i had read one time that it is bad if it goes down. i have no clue. do any of you know? at any rate, im increasing my dose and hoping for the best. you know if i don't even get a chance again this cycle, i really don't know. i mean the bar is ridiculously low, it keeps getting lower and lower. i mean first its can i even get AF, lately its been can the blood be drawn? im worried, but im trying to stay positive. i'll wait till friday.

 

[Kaiecee]

Lulu
Fx it's note etopic or chemical

I think this symptom is too early at 4 dpo but had to run to bathroom to throw up,must be something I ate.

 

[star_e]

hope you feel better kaiecee. good luck this cycle.
