Clomid buddies?

[lorra1986]

Cycle 1 of clomid, currently 2ww. I'm dying to test..

 

[Kaiecee]

hope you feel better kaiecee. good luck this cycle.

Thanks, it was so weird it hit me all of a sudden.

 

[Vankiwi]

Lulu sorry you're going through this uncertainty!

Star I have no idea about the estradiol levels. Hopefully it's no big deal!

Angela good luck testing in the morning! With Zoe I didn't get a line until the evening of 10dpo despite testing that morning.

 

[AngelaALA]

That's good to know Vankiwi I'm only doing ICS at the mo which I know aren't good but I have other tests I just don't want to take them yet as there expensive maybe 12DPO AFM 10DPO and BFN still on IC using FMU xx

Kalecee hope you feel better soon xx

Lorra welcome what CD ARE you are you in your TWW now when do you plan on testing what mg Od Clomid are you and taken on what days xx

Lulu I so hope everything goes okay and it isn't an ectopic or Chemical I hope the scan shows more from my understanding you don't always loose a tube with an ectopic but let's hope and pray it doesn't come to that xx all this uncertainty must be driving you insane and your emotions must be on a knife edge to get your happy dance then for it to be blighted with all this my heart goes out to you it really does xx

Star e unfortunately I don't know anything about estradiol levels this cycle is your first cycle of just FSH and at present it's trial and error trying to find the best level for you that will work but no make you over stim please don't get disheartened it will work it just may take a little longer to get the best levels hun xx

 

[Vankiwi]

That was with ICs too Angela! I never touch blue dye tests, they're awful for false positives.

And you're right, you don't always lose a tube with an ectopic.

Star- I chemical is when you get a positive preg test but the egg doesn't 'stick'. It's considered a very early miscarriage and if someone wasn't testing they may have never even knew they were pregnant. An ectopic is when the egg implants in your falopian tube and can end up busting the tube if left too long...it usually causes very bad pain and can in turn be dangerous if left untreated. This pregnancy is just all out weird, I'm not sure what's going on.

And thank you all for the support...its been a weird ride and for some reason weird things usually happen to me and my husband.

Star- are you increasing your fsh this week?

Angela- how are the tests going?

Kaiecee- any other new symptoms for you?

Van- how are you feeling?

Afm: more weird things are happening...I decided to take one of my weeks indicator digi's...last Thursday it said 1-2 weeks...well I had my smu sitting there and decided to just dip the test...well it came back as 2-3 weeks... I won't have more blood tests done until Monday and my US is scheduled for Tuesday at 11:30...so no answers until next week.

Lulu- that's just so hard being stuck in limbo. I hope you have a good weekend inspite all this.

To add on a little more about chemical pregnancies they are pregnancies that end before anything can be seen in the uterus or a heartbeat starts. I had a chemical in Feb where af was a week later and another in May where she was a few days late.

My doctor's appt is a little under 3 hours away. Eh, I'm so nervous.

 

[AngelaALA]

Good luck Krissie I hope all goes well xx

Lulu I hope that is a good sign and the HCG is going up FX for you xx

AFM 10DPO BFN caved and took a CB BFN I know it's very early days but I already think I'm out xx

 

[Vankiwi]

Good luck Krissie!

Lulu I'm feeling a bit better this week, nausea is dying off thankfully!

 

[Kaiecee]

Not too many symptoms for me felt sick even threw up last night today was just tired so dh let me sleep in while he took care of the kids

 

[krissie328]

Hey ladies- my appt went really well. Doctor suspects it's low progesterone coupled with bad embryos. He said when my labs were done this last time my progesterone was 0.7 (he said over 10 is ideal). Even with supplementation it was only a 7. So he is doubling my progesterone.

He wants me to do 3 more months of clomid and is optimistic we will get our sticky bean in that time.

I'm currently on progesterone to bring on af then will start clomid again.

He also did labs to check for clotting, thyroid and lupus just to rule them out.

 

[Vankiwi]

That sounds like it went really well Krissie! What dose of progesterone will you be on?

 

[krissie328]

He prescribed 400 mg. I had horrible fatigue with ds without supplemental progesterone so I'm sure this is gonna put me in a coma until 12 weeks.

 

[Vankiwi]

Welcome to my world! I'm on 400mg too and exhausted! I'm hoping when I come off it (about a week to go) it'll help with the exhaustion.

Hopefully that's the end of your chemicals - that was the reason I was given clomid, to increase egg quality.

 

[krissie328]

I am tempted to move on to 100 mg of clomid. So maybe I will do 50 this time and 100 next month if this month is unsuccessful.

My exhaustion with ds ended right around 12 weeks. For the rest of my pregnancy I felt great. So hopefully you will too once you are done with the progesterone.

Weird question, do you take it orally or vaginally? I was prescribed prometrium and it can be used either way.

 

[Vankiwi]

I'm on prometrium too, I think it's so weird that it can be used both ways haha! My family doctor prescribed it orally but then my FS and the recurrent miscarriage clinic both say to take it vaginally. It's a bit messy but I take it vaginally.

100mg worked for me!

 

[krissie328]

He prescribed it orally but I think I will let take it vaginally if I get pregnant. My progesterone was insanely low.

 

[Vankiwi]

Apparently vaginally is more effective. I trust the specialists more than my family doctor on fertility stuff!

 

[AngelaALA]

Goodluck Krissie got everything crossed for you xx

AFM 11DPO BFN on IC I do think I'm out if I'm honest and weird thing with temp again back to 97.90 confused.com so weird I've changed the battery and took my temp at different times just to check and my BBT always gives different Temps each time but at 5am when I log it 97.90 everyone almost so strange I'm going to see what my temp is tomorrow if 97.90 again I'll buy a new BBT I'll also tell the DR about this an all wen I see her next xx

 

[AngelaALA]
