Clomid club - before, during and after

[ttcbaby117]

lisa - sorry to hear that hun. What is your next step in this ttc journey.

Caz - how you doin hun?

I talk to a specialist tomorrow. My temp is up a little more today and since my CM stopped being fertile, I guess there is a chance that I did O... but I didn't get a surge... so I'm not sure whats going on. Depends on what the specialist says but I imagine if I'm not ovulating, he'll give me a few more rounds of clomid, possibly with progesterone help. If I am ovulating, I hope he'll offer me the progesterone help.
It just pushes back my deadlines for everything if I have to restart my period with provera.

 

[ttcbaby117]

Yeah I can understand that frustration. Well be sure to go into the FS ready to do battle sometimes they are so laid back ya know. Stress the possible prog deficiency and hopefully they will do something about that.

Hi ladies, havent been on in a while, I had OHSS and 6 4 cm cysts which ruptured causes too much blood and was in pain so was in hospital. Dont think the dr is going to keep me on Clomid wonder what the next step is now..... Got my Cheri22 reading though lol......... They show a GIRL and they relate her to APRIL so this is either birth month, concieve month or the month you find out in.

Hope you are feeling better soon x your cheri reading means you may get your BFP next month

I know im so excited, trying not to think of it

I know I have had 2 readings and they both said the same! concieve in August get in September!!! Which will be a couple of days before our first wedding anniversary so if that is the case I am going to have to keep it to myself for a couple of days

She has also give me a birthdate of my grandfathers birthday who passed away who was my hero so it would be amazing if that happened maybe after 4 years he is going to make it happen

Have you tried preseed? xx

 

[sonyabazonya]

nope havent tried it yet, i never get around to buying it lol.. i think my softcups have arrived though, been waiting for them since may!

 

[babyloulou]

Oh no Sonya- I'm sorry to hear that- hope you are OK now. Are you gonna give it a good try with preseed and softcups then?? xxx

 

[sonyabazonya]

Most certainly will!!!

 

[babyloulou]

I really hope you're joining us soon Sonya- good luck for the next cycle xxxx

 

[sonyabazonya]

Thanks hun xx Got FS tomorrow going to discuss options for next month dont really know what there is to do from now on except IVF.

 

[babyloulou]

See what they say first Sonya. Have they spoke to you about Femara? My FS said our hospital didn't offer it-but I know a lot do. It is supposed to have a lot less side effects than Clomid and isn't supposed to cause OHSS. Not sure- but you could ask as I think it has a good success rate?

 

[sonyabazonya]

I'll ask if they have it here, thanks hun xx

 

[ttcbaby117]

Sonya -so sorry to hear about what you have been going through. I hope you get some sort of plan made out with you fs when you see them.

bfn at the docs today waiting if the turns up in the morning xxx

 

[lisaf]

well girls, still not sign of ovulation.. CD20 and my fertile CM has dried up but temps show that there is no way I've ovulated.

My only hope is that the spike I had yesterday and today's drop may be a gear-up for ovulation since that does happen on some of my charts... except that there is no fertile CM showing. Can't do my mid-day OPK test so I'll only be testing in the evenings.
FS appointment today though. Hopefully he'll have good news and maybe even want me back on Clomid or on Femera or something else...

Guess my body knew I wasn't trying this month and decided it didn't want to try either.

 

[caz & bob]

im going to ask my fs if i go back if af show that i want fremra xxxxxx

 

[lisaf]

well I saw my FS for the first time today. It went well overall, its just scary because the cost is about to get out of hand and we're starting the countdown to IVF... which we can't afford, so its a countdown to a dead end. *Sigh*
He's going to put me back on Clomid on my next cycle, fully monitored at 100mg. He'll give me 3 cycles of that, then 3 with IUI, then IVF. I'm not even sure how we'll afford the IUI to be honest. I have to do the HSG with my next cycle too so that adds to the cost.

 

[sonyabazonya]

Caz&Bob, so sorry about the BFN!!!! Hopefully its just a fluke and your levels will pick up soon?! Is there Femera where you live?

Lisaf, are those procedures not covered by your health insurance? ((hugs))
