Feeling a little bit "meh" today, I knew this would happen but basically I want to try to dtd every other day, and OH is always complaining about being tired I understand he works full time and I don't, but I just feel like well ... Have a coffee!! It's a few days out of your life. I've taken clomid before and not fallen pregnant and I can only think it's because we aren't dtd regularly enough ? We tend to just around the ovulation time but I say to him I think you're supposed to just before as well? Plus when you ovulate is just a guess really.
I don't think he understands this is our last shot at clomid they won't let me take any more after the next few months ... If I go on about it too much it's not really a turn on though is it and probably pressure on him. But righty now I feel like all the pressure is on me I'm working quite hard to be as healthy as possible, taking all sorts of horrible drugs with side effects, supplements, going running, dieting etc I feel like this is the only thing he has to do and he cant be arsed ... I get that he's tired but other people work full time and manage it ?!

Sorry to moan anyone have any advice? X sorry if this is too much info!! Xx

This was an issue for us too. I had to sit oh down & have a talk about how I was "trying" much harder than he was - medication, monitoring, drs appointments etc. Hubby did get on board after I was brutally honest with him - however we had that chat about three days before I got my bfp. The month I caught we dtd once, two days before ovulation & then nothing else until a few days after ov as we had a bug argument (about something I can't recall!).

My advice would be, be honest with hi about how much you are doing & what you need from him. But also try not to stress too much - once can work

 

[jules87]

I agree that you should just be blunt with him, but do it at a time that you aren't frustrated already. Sometimes that's the only way to get through to them.

Also, have you tried doting on him a little bit? You know how the stereotype is that women need to be romanced to get into the mood? Well, I've found that when my husband is particularly run down he needs that kind of treatment as well. Sometimes they need a little extra tlc to relax.

Sorry I'm not much more help. I hope you are able to get this figured out!

 

[lace&pearls]

Thank you both xxx

I had a bit of a moan about it but he doesn't take to well to me doing that and just says I'm nagging which isn't attractive is it. I think you're both totally right though.

I'm going to have to be a bit more subtle and persuasive I think! I find it very difficult to get my point across without moaning / nagging (according to OH anyway lol) I guess I have to be a bit nicer about it x

I totally agree about relaxing too though k4th, we fell pregnant with DD the one month we "stopped trying" on a break from clomid so I do need to relax too. I think if we don't fall pg this month then I might try the relaxed approach next month, maybe not do OPKs ? Just go with the flow, I would do that this month but I want to make sure if I can that its working you know xxx

K4th are you settling in at home ok??? 😘 xxx

 

[kittykitchn]

Have any of your ladies had ovarian drilling whilst on clomid?
I had drilling performed a few days ago, but still have a couple of round left of clomid to go. I'm on my third tablet of this cycle, so nearly finished this round. I haven't been told to stop the clomid, so haven't! I hope this is alright.

I'm feeling very left in the dark about everything really, and don't have a follow up appointment for another month.

I'm so scared about stopping clomid and my cycles going back to how they were before.

Hi all

Just a quick hallo; soooo busy with the move and cleaning/fixing up the new place. The previous owners left the house like a total rubbish dump!!!! Anyway DH is being awesome and I have a lot of new-found respect for the handyman side of him that I haven't really had a chance to see before. Must say I find it quite sexy hehe!

K4th - glad to hear all is well! Is your daughter loving the new real-life doll? . Don't know if I've mentioned? My sis went into PTL a few weeks ago and the twins were born. Had to stay ICU for a while but they are home and doing great.

Kittyktchn- sorry hun no I've never had that procedure. FX!

Nimbec - happy happy birthday!!! Lots of love and hugs and may this new year be very special. xxxxxxxxx

Hugs to everyone else!

I haven't been doing opks as I've seen a lot of people saying they don't work on clomid - that might be why? I never had them work for me anyway (apparently PCOS stops them working)

 

[jules87]

Kitty I haven't had the procedure either. I hope you found your answer by now, otherwise I would just call the Dr and ask.

Fern the hard work that goes into a house is well worth it when you have a sexy handyman by your side

Swimmy- I noticed that my CBFM never gave me a peak last month, but I know I ovulated.. I'm hoping this cycle it works, otherwise it's just a guessing game, really.

AFM- CD 10, finished Clomid yesterday, CBFM says "high" today. So I'm going to be looking for a peak in a couple of days. I have a scan on the 5th to make sure I'm ovulating...
I had a fairly relaxing weekend. The girls night on Friday went well. Everyone had a good time. Then I just relaxed all weekend! I need more weekends like that.

 

[swimmyj1]

Got a peak on my monitor tonight at 11pm, should i could that for the day it was on or the next day sense it was so late. Working midnight's really throws off my sense of time lol. I have the next 3 nights off and hopefully i can get some time in with my friends at the beach.

 

[jules87]

Swimmy what monitor are you using?

 

[swimmyj1]

Clear blue advanced

 

[jules87]

Hmm I used the Clear blue fertility monitor. Mine always gives two peak days. I think ovulation happens during that 48 hour window. Though, I'm not sure how to pinpoint when O happens, other than listen to my body. I get a heavy, pressure-type feeling when I ovulate. Sorry I'm not much help.

Today is my scan. I'm nervous, and also feel it's a bit pointless.. but we'll see.

 

[jules87]

My scan yesterday went well. I didn't catch the amount of follicles I have but they said all was good! The Dr decided to give me an HCG shot to trigger ovulation. He told us exactly when to bd (which made DH uncomfortable haha). He said if we don't get pregnant this month then we will look at IUI and Clomid.

I'm hoping and praying this is our month, but last month was a slap in the face so I'm scared as all heck too. The Dr kept telling me to not get discouraged and that everything with us is working properly. We just need to get the timing right. I hope he's right.

How's everyone else doing?

 

[Fern81]

Hi all you lovely ladies

No idea which cd/dpo I am... or if I even ovulated. I will have to start counting. AF should arrive in the next week-ish and then for the hsg! I am dreading it so much (my "older" thread friends know how scared I am of medical procedures) but also just want it out of the way to see if it will give me some answers. The house move was/is crazy. I think I've mentioned this before but the previous occupants were TOTAL PIGS and left the house in a horribly messy and filthy state. So we are STILL cleaning but have finally managed to unpack a lot of things... now just to fix all the leaking taps and figure out the messy electrical wiring... and fix all the broken windows..... etc etc etc! Must say that's kept me very busy; mind TOTALLY off ttc. Will see how I feel next cycle!

Swimmy - nice temp spike!!! Keep it up

Jules - good job on the follies and hsg shot etc! Exciting stuff! Hope the "forced" bd is not too bad lol, I generally don't enjoy it too much.

Will be holding my breath for you two in the next few weeks!

Hugs to everyone else, K4th, Lace&pearls, Nimbec, all the other new chicks.

 

[alicea]

Hey ladies I am new to clomid (waiting to start my 1st cycle eeek) and thought I'd introduce myself!
Me and my OH have been together near on 10yrs, we are both 26 and have been ttc for about 3 yrs, I finally had enough and went to my Gp in March 15 to be referred to a fertility specialist. I have now just been diagnosed with Pcos, and am waiting to start clomid. I also take vitex, vit c and seven seas 'trying for a baby' vits. My OH SA came back as normal.

As I'm new to this any advice or information would be great ��

Thanks ladies xxxx
