Congratulations Clairyfairy

It gives me a glimmer of hope seeing you ladies get your BFP's xx

Yes iui was our best shot prior to IVF we thought I was ovulating but dh had almost 0 useful sperm so we used donor sperm but when they were checking for ovulation using scan s prior to IUI it showed I had v small follicles and was only ovulating sporadically hence the clomid.It worked really well I had three really good follicles but we were a bit off with timing this month which was why I didnt think it had worked.
Its a huge relief and I just hope it sticks now I am terrified about that

[mrphyemma]

Clomid is my last option. I don't qualify for IVF as I already have children and I so can't afford to pay privately. Not sure if IUI has the same rules as IVF does anyone know? x

Clairy thats fantastic news!! I'm so happy for you I was hoping to come on and see you'd got your bfp! How exciting!!

Depends on your doc but if they think you're not ovulating they might do...
Depends if they want to do bloods etc first?

Huge congratulations Clairy thats brilliant to hear. Gives us all so much hope when you are all slowly getting your BFP's.

Thanks TTC for that it is so awful being in limbo I have 6 months worth of Clomid sitting on my bedside cabinet and I cannot even begin taking it! The FN has rung me back (after I rang again today) and said she will catch up with the FS tomorrow and I should ring back on Friday to find out what he said. She said generally he doesnt like people to start Clomid without a withdrawal bleed, so he may suggest I take the provera again or he may just say start the Clomid but he doesnt usually. Thats fine and I understand I just want an answer so I can either start. I guess I am a bit more annoyed as we are going away on the 22nd and they wanted me to have a follicle scan after taking the clomid. If I start the clomid without Provera then the scan should be while I am away. And i am thinking if I miss this scan and the Clomid is doing nothing then they would pick it up and possibly increase the dosage for the next cycle but - oh I guess I am just thinking too much now! Sorry girls!

thanks sbb, well i think iv had all the bloods dun, iv had all the hormone tests dun, day 21 tests o also had lh? i think it was, iv had oads, iv been on metformin for 2 months a year n half ago too, is there anything i cum say to try n get em? xx

 

[babyloulou]

If you don't ov on your own then it should be the next step they offer you anyway- as long as your bmi is under 30. Good luck xx

 

[keepsmiling]

my bmi is 31.6

so does that mean i wnt get it?
xx

 

[MrsChambers]

It is often down to each individual Fertility Specialist the majority say your BMI has to be 30 or under to get it though. All you can do is go in armed with knowledge and explain the history and see what they say. If they dont offer you it straight away - most like to see you a couple of times first - ask him what you need to go to get it or when he thinks he may give you it.

well last time i went he ust said that losing wight may help me to ovualte, but i weighed 11 stone wen we first start ttc so clearly i wasnt cos of pcos, iv had hsg dun which was all clea. ill just go to him and explain that i relly want it, my bmi isnt much over 30 so i dnt c how he wudnt give me it, id ask him if i can cme bak in a months time or somthin if he wnt ive me it, he never even weighed me last time xx
