Thanks jdonn. I feel for you! Can you get another Dr.? It's hard enough when you have a supportive Doctor, but impossible if they aren't listening to you. When does your chart say you ovulated? I'm not getting any monitoring at all, so just doing everything I can. 3rd round in January I have a feeling I am out again this month, even though I keep hoping every day AF doesn't show, I don't really have any symptoms and of course stark white BFNs point that way too.

I mentioned to my husband last night about maybe finding another Dr. I was put off with the fact that he gave me an Rx for Clomid with instructions for days 3-6. Nothing else was said. No- call if you don't think you O. Nothing. so on a lark last week, I called and they asked me to come in for blood work. Didn't tell me what the blood work was for (though I assumed it was for progesterone) I would like a little more communication. And yesterday, the nurse told me to go pick up my 100mg and take 3-7. No further instructions again. I know they deal with this all the time but I feel like they should at least ACT like they are concerned, if just for my benefit.

My chart says I ovulated on 12/21 cd 19. My temp dropped 12/18. I got my 1st peak on 12/20. like I said before, I've had crazy side-effects and after O has been weird, too. Fluttering, fatigue, headaches, acid reflux, cramps, mood swings, weird skin breakout etc... I know it too early and according to my nurse I shouldn't bother but my HCG tests are stark white negatives, too.

This is so frustrating.

Jdonn, I feel the same way with my dr. When I called them and told them I was pregnant, she said "ok, see you when you are 8 weeks."

LIKE, can I get some advice? What to eat and what to not eat? How to sleep? Sex advice, work advice? ANYTHING!?!?

and the most recent, my HCG levels started out low and I have to go out of town at the end of january when my first natal appointment was. I tried to call and reschedule and she said there was no way I could do that because I will be 7+2 or 3 and not 8 weeks. I am thinking of changing my DR too.

how much vitamin b do you take? my bottle says to take one or two but my.prenatal also has vit b so I don't wanna take too much

 

[FloridaGirl21]

hmm, know how you ladies feel! I'm changing doctors too.. My DR gave me a rx for Progesterone 100mg 1x per day (I have low progesterone levels) in error, it was supposed to be 100mg 2x per day..! They figured it out when I started spotting with this pregnancy could have been too late! so I've got my first appt feb 3rd with my new doctor.. They couldn't get me in until then I'll be 9w3d.. But I'm sure it'll be worth the wait

 

[Euronova]

Congrats Florida and Trying! loads of !!!
There are some great group in the first trimester on the forum for advise. I found that i get on better with the clomid club graduate ladies than my due date group (weird weird ladies!)
I am sure you will find people to advise you! x

 

[jdonn109]

They figured it out when I started spotting with this pregnancy could have been too late!

Gosh, that would be so scary. I'm glad you made the choice to change Drs.

Trynfor1- like I said, I know they deal with pregnancies and infertility issues all the time but when it come to me/you, I feel like they should take the time to put my mind at rest. Isn't that part of being a Dr?

The more I think about it, I think I'm going to start looking for a Dr during this round. I need someone who will listen to me. After all, that is what I feel like I pay for.

If I read your other post correctly, you got your progesterone levels tested 1 dpo? Levels should be tested about 7 dpo, which is when progesterone levels peak. If that's the case, I don't think your results are very accurate.

I don't care for my OBGYN either. I did have a second opinion, but even if I decide to stay with him, he no longer delivers babies. So, either way I am SOL.

Btw, sorry for the TMI ladies, but I started mucinex (generic) this morning to help with CM. I did a CM check before I showered and there was a teeny amount of EWCM. I took the pill and about 1 hour later - WHOA - hello CM!!! It wasn't completely "egg white" quality but it was close and and is a good start.

Hey your right too i just re-read her post and wow why the hell they would test her then? that is odd and it seems to me perhaps they are just soaking her for the money. Somone needs to be bitchslaped over there at that office.

My advice to you ladies who have very poor doctors are to change your doctor, I have the best fertility consultant and registrar who explains everything and really takes their time to answer questions. Not all doctors are the same and there are some really good ones out there you just need find someone who loves their job and their patients.

So here is the latest from the registrar today, follicle size grows 1-2mm every day, if you are on clomid ideally they want the follicles to be 15mm or above before inducing ovulation, at day 10-14 they like the follicle to be 20-22mm.

As for me, I had the scan today, day 13, and my little precious follicle on my left ovary is 14mm, one more day and tomorrow morning and I will be getting my trigger shot (10000 iu of HCG) and hopefully ovulation will occur in 24-36 hours, I then sit it out and wait the two weeks to see if there will be a stickybean.

My registrar advised the best thing to do is wait and wait for AF to arrive if she wants rather than induce it after two weeks so that is what I am going to do. So here goes the second step of round 2 and hopefully our sticky bean will be conceived on New Years night

Monalisa and 35_smiling:

I could not agree with you oth more. When I called them on 12/16 I explained that my charts were showing I had not O yet and with the Clomid, I felt I should have nice without it I normally O on the 20 day ( since the Dr told me I shoul O between the 12-16 day). That's hen they told me to come in on what would be my 21st day. But if I O on 12/21 like my FF chart and monitors are saying then it was waaaaay to early for that test. I HAD NOT THOUGHT ABOUT THAT UNTIL I READ YOUR POST. And now I'm calling them back. This IS ridicules. But now I have some hope.

THANk YOU!! I'll keep you posted!!

35_Smiling - I mean I got a positive OPK! Pretty exciting for me, since I didn't have much faith in my low dose of Clomid, but it's working!!! That's great you have been able to just enjoy BD, and the timing of your positive OPK seems perfect. Hope it works out!

 

[mk8]

[Bugbabe77]

Hey, am now cd17 still no ov. The horrendous pains have gone as well. An wondering if I'm not gonna ov this month. My temps are still pretty steady, had one temp dip then it went back to what it was before. I made sure we did the bd just in case but now I'm not sure. Without the clomid I would ov day 19-21 so I guess I still have time. This is just soooooo frustrating. Grrrrrrrrrr. Sorry rant over.
