Infertility is really hard, but I've found being on here really, really helpful - just being able to let it all out, get advice and feel supported has been great.

Is this the first time you're seeing your doctor? They should get you to do blood tests first, to see if you're ovulating. I recommend charting your BBT and CM to see when you might be ovulating, so that you do the blood test on the right day (7-10 days after ovulation). If you check you CM as well as BBT, it might help.

If you're not ovulating, I suggest acupuncture - I can't praise it enough! I took Clomid for 3 cycles and still didn't ovulate, then ovulated first (and second) time on acupuncture!

It's not an easy journey, but chatting to others who know how you feel really helps. Good luck! to you!

You're right! Im already starting to feel better about starting my 1st cycle on Clomid. I guess the topic is still so taboo that when its something you are faced with none of your normal day to day friends can understand or even admit to encountering. Finding this thread is the best thing I could have right now Keeping me from becoming

This is not the first time Im seeing my doctor. We have been through ultrasound to check for cysts (all clear) and 1 progesterone blood test (June 22-low low numbers). I started tracking my cycles this Jan but I was only uses the online ovulation calendar predictor up until May then I realized it wasn't going to be so easy to just 'wing it' so I started charting my temps and using OPK's (both proving unsuccessful as in temps all over the place and not even 1 + test) . So I admit I'm very early in this whole TTC but my doctor thinks that because I'm borderline PCOS ( only factor is that i am overweight and periods range from 23-35 days) and she wants me to try this out to see if I can ovulate. June I started keeping track of my CM and that added a whole other layer of confusion for me

So now Im waiting for AF to arrive so I can give clomid a try.

You never ovulated on clomid? Did you get pregnant on acupuncture then too? I imagine its a little pricier too correct?


talk to you soon![/QUOTE]

Sorry to hear you've had such a confusing time charting. I only started a couples of cycles ago and I've found it really interesting and useful. I don't do OPKs because of my PCOS, and I don't have ewcm, but I do see obvious changes in cm and temp. Not that that really helps you!

I'm not pregnant yet, and never have been, but I'd never had a positive progesterone blood test 'til I started acupuncture.

I think the cost and method of paying work differently in the States. I'm in the UK. I get the Clomid for free and the acupuncture costs £40 per session (I go weekly).

I'm on cloud nine! The line on IC appeared even before the stick had fully absorbed the FMU, and it turned out darker than the control line CB digital has put me at 2-3 weeks. Will be seeing the OB for a scan on Mon

Welcome back Kelly, missed you hun x

 

[daviess3]

Anxiously congrats hun so exciting lovely dark lines xx
I saw gp this morning my hcg is at 6.1 so far to low i have stopped progesterone today an now just need to wait for it all to happen! Its shit! Said where do i go from here? He said well all your results are normal, so its just bad luck to have 4!! Just try again!! Bad luck 4 mc i said i dont think so im not prepared to except that! So i called my obs an gynae cons and im waiting for a call back to tell me if i will see him again! Really i want to be referred to st marys london they have a recurrent mc specialist called Lesley Regan, she is meant to be brilliant she has a book on mc which i brought which is very informative she deals with infertility as well as mc, and often frowns upon the actual tests that most nhs hospitals have done as they dont test the blood in the correct times etc and the outcome is often false negative results!! Im hoping i can get referred!

When the bleeding starts do you think i should take my clomid on day 2 as normal? I feel like i get better advice on here than by doctors lol!! X

 

[Lisa84]

I can't believe they said it was just bad luck!! I would push for a referal hun cos thats ridiculous!!

If Clomid worked for me but i had recurring MCs i would wait until you maybe have a referal and some more answers just because we can only have Clomid for a set amount of time and i wouldn't want to waste it if that makes sense Thats just what i would do tho hun xx

 

[beanhunter]

So sorry Davies. I've not had a miscarriage but each time I've had a laparoscopy I've been advised to wait a cycle to let my body readjust. Personally I'd rather do that than waste a cycle. Also each time I've bled for almost 2 weeks (sorry if tmi) so haven't really felt like bd anyway. Not sure if that helps but thinking of you.

Afm I'm getting better after the last op, hopefully back to work on Monday then scan and fs the following week. She's emailed and said no more clomid for now so don't know if we will be moving on to iui/ivf. Am so confused by this cycle. Bled after the op and because of what they said thought it was af but temps are still higher than normal. Think we will just bd when I want this month - not felt in the mood yet - and then see what happens. I'm fed up. Because I've had a 2nd op a lot more of my friends know now and in some ways thats a relief.

 

[Anxiously]

Davies, how many rounds of clomid have you been on? I recall you had a break in between cycles recently right? I'm asking because I heard consecutive clomid rounds may wear down your uterus lining.

It's been a rough cycle for you, I'm wondering if it makes sense for you to take a break again and let your body (and mind!) get some rest. I hope you'll get that referral with Lesley Regan soon and get to the bottom of things.

 

[caz & bob]

girls went for my scan she said the shouldn't of sent me yet far to early but on a good note i had 1 fol-lie 9mm my lining is 3mm she couldnt see ewt on my right side i had to much gass cd7 today wooppp x x x

 

[cranberry987]

Id wait a cycle as well tbh, you want to give each round a strong a chance as possible and there might be hormonal issues because of the chemical (so sorry about that btw)

I think youre right to push for a referral, sounds like your gp is doing the usual gp thing and making shit up because they dont actually know.

hugs
