Clomid buddies?

[AngelaALA]

I hope they don't make you wait hun that would be awful this TTC is stressful without having to wait extra time for results. How are you feeling about it all are you still positive I'm crossing everything for you that you get good results xx

 

[AngelaALA]

I hope they don't make you wait for your results it's stressful enough this TTC without being made to wait longer for results, I'm crossing absolutely everything for you that you get a great result. How are you feeling now any symptoms, I really do hope you get good results you deserve it xx

 

[AngelaALA]

I've contacted my RE's secretary today as it's day three and I'm still getting dark brown discharge which has slightly increased with cramping I'm still 6 days of wen AF should be due. She's going to get her to call me this afternoon and discuss it to see if I need to go in for further tests so we shall see I'll keep you posted on how I get on xx

Just wish things where simple and straightforward but if I have any other issues then atleast I can get them addressed now to give me the best chance of pregnancy x

 

[bahh]

Angelaa I hope this is just implantation bleeding

Star_e Tell us about your blood work today

Girlsssss I am pregnant, actually a lil pregnant haha
did a Hcg yesterday but waited till today´s results! Only 20something (It´s supposed to be over 100!) So I may just got pregnant.

I ll repeat the blood test friday (fingers crossed) but for some reason I kind of feel pregnant and I can´t believe after a MC 4 months ago I´ve got preggo in my very 1st cycle of Clomid!

Anyways, I´m not gonna get my hopes "too" up, since my history with MC I should wait and see and really pray for this bean to stick

I´m crossing everything for you girls! And also praying "hard" lol

Can´t wait till friday

 

[star_e]

Bah: congrats! That's amazing. Keep us posted about Friday! what wonderful news for you! I was confused about the hcg. What does that stand for? And 20 something is a level? Fx that this is the BFP u have been waiting for!

Angela: stay positive. U still have a chance. Let us know what ur doc says.

As for me. I'm not feeling super positive right now. I don't know I just did a lot of reading about people with PCOS receiving multiple positive OPK's and apparently people with PCOS have this problem. And sometimes it means you have not ovd at all. It could mean your body is trying to release an egg but just can't. Sometimes it means you will ovd late. So it's very confusing because I don't know if I've ovd. Which means I have to keep BDing if I keep getting positive opks. I'm just a bit down because I can see that my body may have been trying to release the egg. Even before I started this journey I would have pains every now and then when I think my body was trying to have AF but it just couldn't do it. I would have symptoms of it for weeks and no AF. I think that I am really going to need to do temping. I'm waiting for my thermometer to get in which I ordered online. Because that's going to really help me to determine when I did Ovd.

I'm going in for the bloods this afternoon but I'll probably end up having to go again next week given all the positive OPKs. Also, I don't want to be speculating about everything again next cycle if this one doesn't work so I am definitely going to tell my doc that I want to see a specialist next cycle because I want more information with monitoring and just more time to talk to the doc. My current doc always seems busy and I never feel like I get enough time. So all in all I woke up frustrated.

 

[star_e]

Oh and yea they are going to make me wait for results. It's just so frustrating.

Angela when u got your bloods how soon did they tell u what the results were?

 

[AngelaALA]

Bahh that's amazing news I'm so so happy for you I hope you get your perfect happy ending in nine months time I'm so so pleased exciting journey ahead for you now, please keep us posted on your journey.

Star_e don't be too disheartened see if you can transferred to a proper fertility specialist hun that can help you through your journey more offer you U/S and follicle tracking, please don't get disheartened we're both just at the start of our fertility treatment the road maybe bumpy but the chances of our happy ending is far greater than without any help xx

Well I got a call back from my RE they told me not to worry about the discharge, I'm still to start follicle tracking on my next cycle but there also sending me out an appointment to attend there fertility clinic to discuss my symptoms more and see if there maybe any underlying problems so we shall see xx

 

[AngelaALA]

I found out my results the next day hun xx

Hello! Same boat as you, hun. TTC #2 with clomid. I have PCOS and with our son it took 2.5 years to conceive "naturally". I took vitamin d and got pregnant, but my dr says that was a coincidence. Now, our son is 15 months old and we're planning for #2. Since, I had so much trouble with the 1st, my dr put me on clomid 50mg days 5-9.

hi! have you started taking clomid yet? what's your timeline? did you have to take provera to get your AF?

 

[star_e]

angela: when is your next appointment? and did it take you a long time to get into the fertility clinic? i am thinking even though i have not told me doc that i want to move on to a FS, that i might just call around and book an appointment in case it takes a long time (in case they are booked up). i feel a little nervous about telling my obgyn that after one round i want to see someone else. it really has nothing to do with her. its just i want more information and she does not do follicle tracking (i havent actually asked her if she will do that, so technically i don't know). i know whe mentioned that if this cycle is a bust, she would want to do a u/s at the beginning of my next cycle to make sure i dont have cysts. i can either ask her to do mid-cycle tracking or i might just be honest and say given my long history with pcos, i feel more comfortable moving on. i'll try not to be disheartened. today i just feel sad, tired, like i want to cry. need to update my feelings status. will do that after this post.

oh and an admin question. when i sign in to find this group, i have to actually type clomid in the search bar and then i find the group by looking for the clomid buddies name in the search results. is there a way to have it know that i want it to take me to this thread and is there a way to get emails about when someone has posted?

 

[star_e]

also, i guess if i did not ovd this cycle, i'll have to take provera again to get AF. since AF rarely comes on her own. and provera definitely has side effects for me. clomid did not, other than those two days i had the crazy bloating, which i thought was ovd but who knows. only time will tell.

i don't know if i already asked this question. but with the bbt, that is only really good to tell if you have ovded right? its not really used to alert you before ovd, correct? also, do you all actually understand how to read the chart, or do you just let it do it for you? cause when i look at other peoples charts it does not make sense to me as i see temp rises and falls before the crosshair marks the ovd date and i also see temp rises and falls after the ovd date is marked (and sometimes those higher three temps are not always higher than the pre ovd date). i think its confusing. also, i will set it on advanced monitor, but i hope that it does not rely too much on cm b/c i am still confused about cm. i have to do internal checks b/c there is not enough externally and i dont see how it could ever be dry. if you check internall how could it be dry? what does dry actually mean?

At the top of thread there should be some bars you can click on one is called thread tools in this bar you go down and click on subscribe to this thread which will open another window and click on instant email notifications

Don't get disheartened hun do what is best for you to give you the best chance. I don't temp or check cm so I can't help you on this but I'm sure you will find the information you need via doctor and Google.

I'm from England we get free health-care through Nhs. When I went to doctors about issues with getting pregnant they sent me off for blood tests when the tests came back my hormone levels where low they sent me off to gynecologist who after my test from them came back clear I got sent off to a fertility specialist at an early pregnancy unit. They did all sorts of tests and put me on clomid, I have a direct number to my specialists secretary and since taking Clomid it's helped as any concern or anything I can speak to them and because this is there specialised field they know where to go and what to do next which gives me confidence, I know I'm lucky to live in a country that offers a service like this for free hun.

Push your doctor see if they will send you to a specialist xx

yea, i am now subscribed to the thread! thanks for the help with that. i have been doing more googling about the bbt and am getting a bit more clear, but will keep reading up on it. bbt and cm are def a bit confusing, but i find it interesting. i'll get more clear on it with time. i think it takes time to notice these types of differences.

i will talk to her. i have an appt with her next monday. at that appt i will tell her i want to see an FS.

i did the bloods today and they said they should be sent to docs in one to two days. so i will call them on Thursday to check and hopefully the nurse practitioner will call me with the results since doc is out of town.

i really hope the progesterone level is high! i want to know that i at least ovd.

Well I'm definitely out my AF has well and truly showed it's ugly head a week flipping early so round two of Clomid begins tomorrow and I'll have my fertility clinic to look forward to and follicle tracking so that's something I guess xx

I am very sorry to hear that. Was very hopeful for you. sending u positive energy for round two! Very much interested in hearing about your follicle tracking. Hopefully if this cycle is a bust for me I'll be doing that too.

I have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find my cervix. I have read everything I can find on the Internet and looked at pictures. And I definitely cannot find it. I'm all bothered down there now bc of all the feeling I've been doing. Kind of annoyed. I kept spending more time doing it bc I didn't want to have wasted all that time and not have advanced. And now I have officially given up. Next time I'm at the docs I will ask her where it is. It is impossible to reach. Who knows if I'm reaching past it. Uggggg.

Thank you honey! I also have PCOS and Clomid worked with me, so it may take more than one cycle but I really hope it works for you

Hcg level is the hormone for pregnancy, since I told my doctor about my pregnancy test coming positive he decided to run blood work to check my hcg level, below 5 ml (if i´m not wrong) means you´re not pregnant, up to 25 means that you are, but because mine were not 25 yet I´ll repeat the test friday (fingers crossed I can keep this baby in my oven) it will be over 25 for sure if pregnancy goes well... But I´m not crazily excited yet, I´ll see what happens, I lost my baby 4 months ago and I was suuuuuuuuper excited, so this time I´ll just wait a lil longer
