[lisaf]

caz - are you worried about the clomid thinning out your lining?

 

[caz & bob]

well ye a bit because it can do that carnt it xxxx

 

[caz & bob]

sam its medium hunnie i think i will only bleed for 3 day again like last month xxxx

i only had one day of heavy bleeding well i have just taken my last clomid i think this was mt last month on it so this is my last chance before i spend loads of money on ivf and an 18 month wait x x

well this is my last month of clomid and if this doesn't work we have to go back it will be iui or ivf but were private so i will have to pay xxxxx

 

[lisaf]

yeah, my last period after my 4th round of Clomid was VERY short... so I think it was definitely affecting me.

 

[caz & bob]

last month it was for 3days don't no how this month is going to be yet but i only bleed for 4day anyway so i don t no hun but i do get worried some times xxxx

 

[lisaf]

well I used to bleed 5-7 days.. 3-4 of them heavy.
With the clomid.. as soon as I started taking the tablets, it would taper off my period. But each cycle it got shorter and shorter. I expected it to be a little longer/more normal after my 4th round since I wasn't taking the clomid again but it was even shorter.. just 2 days heavy 1 day light and that was it.

I guess thats why my doctor will give 6 rounds of clomid, but wants a break in between the first few and the last few.

 

[caz & bob]

mine the bleeding has got lighter in stead off heavy it's weird how it make you like that isn't it xxxx

[caz & bob]

[lisaf]

I'm not sure how the prices are there compared to here. But I do know that the price for IUI varies a LOT. It depends on the clinic you go to and what medications/monitoring you need.
I've heard you can do IUI with no monitoring or meds for $400... but once you add in the meds and monitoring it can easily top $1000
(and IVF is usually $10,000 here).

 

[lisaf]

oh... and I've heard you can get it done cheaper in other countries... but you'd need to be able to afford to travel there, do some medications on your own or stay there the whole time.
