clomid club

[mk8]

cbmd- hmmm... seems like the uk docs like doing it that way then. have you had an hsg done? no idea about the cbfm i am afraid.

 

[Mrs.B.]

Hey MrsB- good luck with the tests! How can you just book yourself in? Doesnt the doc have to refer you for them?

Mine get done by a nurse at my doctors, not at FS. so I just phoned up and said I'd like to book 21 day bloods and they booked me in. Dont know what the doctor will say

 

[Mrs.B.]

i forgot to ask ladies....can you use a cbfm using clomid? i have one but after years of no luck i gave in using it as it was too expensive to buy the sticks, plus i have no cycles so was using two packs of sticks at a time x

Ive started using mine again now Ive got the clomid, it should work if I ovulate but as I wasnt before it didnt like me lol

 

[cbmd]

Mk8- I don't even know what a hsg is have you had one? What do they entail?
Mrs b- my cbfm hates me too...it says low every day permanently...that's why I gave in using it...plus it was so expensive...might give it a go while on Clomid just to see if there is any difference

Hey Mk8, I've had all d bloods, the hsg and oh has his SA done. We are all clear! I still would like them to do more checks, I'm going to push for them at next appointment. But FS was saying if clomid didn't work we need to think about ivf!
Cbmd, I'm using my cbfm this month, see if it changes my dates! I've heard that it is not accuratev when on clomid, but still gona try it for myself!

 

[Mrs.B.]

My PCOS made it give me highs constantly, funny how it differs for everyone isnt it!

What other tests can they do Turtlemad? Erm... Lap to check for any teeny tiny endo that doesnt show up in other tests perhaps? Thats the only one I can think of. Good luck with Clomid!

Girls... my boobs are sooooo sore on Clomid. I took a test today- BFN. 12DPO and with the spotting, I am 99% sure I am out. On to cycle 3!

So I've been using Ovulation sticks this cycle, I don't think they're working. I am on CD 13 today, and I started using them on CD8. All lined up, I don't see much difference between them. They all look like they are about half as dark as the control line. I'm getting so frustrated. I am paranoid that all of a sudden I have stopped ovulating, even though I wasn't put on Clomid due to not ovulating. I'm trying to temp this month too, so I'll keep going with both just in case.

Sorry for rambling on, I'm just so so so tired of TTC already. I wish there was something else I can do, but we've had all the tests done, I had a chemical last year so pregnancy MUST be possible, right?

Zimmy,
I was also not put on clomid due to not Ovulating. The test said that my eggs weren't as developed as they should be. I didn't O until CD 16. It was a strong surge. I have found that I am more likely to see my surge around 11am. There is still hope

I am on CD 21 now so 5dpo, Had a MAJOR meltdown yesterday. I think I am going to lose my mind here soon! My emotions are going crazy. DH asked me if I could be pregnant, then corrected himself knowing its too early to tell. Though I am getting my early af symptoms right on schedule, so I think I may be out.. I guess I am trying to not get my hopes up, but I know there were 3 eggies this time so there is hope.

Zimmy

maybe you will just O a little later this month.

Although the docs say i O on my own. I used a saliver ovulation tester for ages and have never got a positive on of off clomid. maybe some people are less sensitive on those tests and opks. Have you always used OPKs or is it you first time doing that too?

I guess all you can do is have much sex as you can stand and hope for the best.

luck hun

 

[zimmy]

Thanks Maurie, yes you're right it is early for me. I have just lost all my patience this month it seems! Good luck to you - 3 eggs - promising!

to everyone

woot! ovacue confirmed o for today. So I o'ed 2 days later than last month...not bad!

 

[zimmy]

Trying hard - this is really my first month of using the opks every day. I tried them last month, but just for a while because I thought I started them too late and missed it.

Wishing you a more comfortable day tomorrow!

I know how you feel. When I started my last and called the doctor they asked if it was a full period or just spotting. . . I couldn't get out of bed it was so bad! It will get better soon

woot! ovacue confirmed o for today. So I o'ed 2 days later than last month...not bad!

YAY congrats get to it

Zimmy, another thing you can try is to take 2 per day, before noon and one after noon in the event of a short surge. This way you dont miss it. When I get close to O I have been known to take at least 2 but sometimes 3 a day because I was so afraid of missing it.

Mk8 - thanks for info...I haven't had a hsg. I had blood tests about 5 years ago which showed I had elevated testosterone...so told I had pcos...scan showed a few cysts. Years later still no periods so doc's re did my bloods and was told everything was now normal! I asked how testosterone could be so high then so low so had blood tests re done and now they said my fsh is very slightly elevated which from what i read isn't very good. They never do my bloods at any particular time. They just said try Clomid...haven't ever bothered with any further investigations.

Mrs b - weird how mine is always low with pcos and yours is high!

Hello ladies, 12 dpo (I think) from me and still

I was wondering if any of you have had a trigger shot (pregnyl) and when you had ovulation, I know on the pack it says 36-38 hours for egg collection. I had the trigger shot on the 30th of December at 6pm, my LMP was 17/12/2011 so don't when I should be POAS to get a reliable test. This is my second round of clomid and i always had 45 day plus cycles but my first round of clomid my AF arrived just after 17 days.
