MommySierra, I've had an HSG test and it wasn't that bad. It was definitely uncomfortable and hurt a little when they inserted the dye, but I didn't have much pain at all. Take teh painkillers before and hopefully yours will be fine too. xx

Thanks Bizy,
I will take some motrin before...How are things going for you? hows the acupuncture?

I am trying to be optimistic but I feel I am running out of options...I called both my husbands and my insurance and they do not cover any fertility treatment, the only thing they pay for is my HSG test and a "discovery" test to figure out my infertility, I have no idea what that test is, I have never heard of it...We don't have the best credit and not enough savings...My FS suggested if I am cleared on my HSG to take a year yes a year off to "save up" for the IVF

I'm doing well. The acupuncture has been fine and I think it's helping. I am testing on Friday and I'm getting nervous as I have no symptoms.

Good luck hun. I really hope you get a bfp soon so you don't have to worry about all that... xx

Hi girls, I'm after a bit of advice and reassurance if possible please. I got a phone call from my GP this morning saying the hospital rang and they want me to come in asap and do a repeat of my last 21 day blood test (which was taken on the 5th June). They didnt give a reason why, it obviously will have to be a general hormone profile they now take and I am a lttle anxious.

I'm on a new cycle after the above test, have finished Clomid for it and am on CD7. I just about coped with the side effects last cycle and am worried if in fact my last 21 day test has shown anything up. I've already taken this cycle's dose so not sure what lies ahead!

In addition I had a very strange experience this morning at 6am when I went to the loo and couldn't see properly as there were flashes happening in front of my eyes, like a million camera flashes going off. It lasted about 30 seconds and I decided to close my eyes after I got a bit scared and just make my way to bed. Today I've had a few spots in front of my eyes as well and I'm now a bit worried that I may be showing symptoms of OHSS?

The GP doesnt know about the eye thing this morning and I have 2 appointments with them booked on Monday. Do you think I need to call them now just in case? Have any of you ever been called back for another blood test while taking Clomid?

Any advice to help keep me sane much appreciated xo

Hi curlywurly, I'm not sure why they would have called you back this late. You're already into your next cycle, so it would be odd to test for progesterone again. Since you're experiencing those strange feelings, I would definitely call them and discuss it. I really hope you don't have OHSS and everything turns out fine.

Anyone have any success recently?

 

[Curlywurly]

Hi girls, just to let you know that my blood tests are showing elevated levels of prolactin (I wondered why my bbs were so sensitive and itchy!). Anyway, apparently its a sign of severe stress but I suspect its more a side effect of the Clomid from doing some research. One outcome is that it can suppress ovulation which I strongly suspect has happened this cycle as I was due to ovulate this week and have had negative OPKs for the past 9 days.

We're also keeping an eye on my other side effects...

I'm now waiting on the results of more bloods and my 21 day test is due in 5 days.

Has this happened anybody else? I only have one cycle of Clomid left and am not feeling hopeful. I suspect the hospital may be able to give me something to inhibit the prolactin but I'm not sure?

And yes, any success stories recently it would be lovely to hear about them!!!!

 

[BizyBee]

Hey girls, I'm back from my trip and unfortunately got me last week. I'm on CD6 today. My Dr. changed my dose to 100mg, so hope that does the trick!

 

[kstan]

Hi girls, mind id I join u? This was my 1st mth on Clomid. I'm now CD28 and my temps havent risen. I'm sure I havent o'd but will get my CD21 results on Tues. My opks were positive from CD23 - CD27. I had such a horrible pain in my right ovary last week and my nipples are sooo sensitive last couple days. Do u know if sensitive nipples are a side effect?

 

[BizyBee]

Welcome Kstan,
I had sensitive nipples around O also. It seems that you may have ovulated late so your CD21 results may not be accurate. Good luck!

Yes, I would say that it is def a potential side effect. It is for me anyways. Good lucK!

 

[JASMAK]

I do believe that this is my last round of Clomid. I am on my 7th round??? or something like that...maybe 8th. I had my dosage bumped up a few rounds ago, but I suspect that they will probably put me on something else now??? Have no idea really. But, this obviously isn't working. I see my specialist on Tuesday.

 

[Wishing Well]

Great idea

I'm on Clomid too - had 6 months September 08-Jan 09 which resulted in a wonderful . Sadly I miscarried ay 7.5 weeks

Back on Clomid again - this is my third cycle, with three more to go.

I'm on 100mg, CD2-6.

 

[digs]

Hay all - I'm new to the LTTTC - we have been off BCP for 6 years have had 3 m/c had a lap/hyst/D&C and starting clomid on Friday - any advise?

Good luck everyone

Hi there,
I am just as lost as you are...I am also on my last round of clomid, I took my cd21 blood work today along with a bunch of other blood work my specialist suggested...My specialist also said it did not work for me either...My numbers were to low, so I am scheduled to do my HSG Dye test as soon as I get which if it comes on CD33 (like it has for the past 4 months) I can knock that out of the way...In the mean time, I wait and I am trying to shake off this depression that has taken over me...I am still trying to figure out a way to fund IUI...Hope everyone is doing well and I am sorry I have not been on, I have been a bit out of my element these past few weeks....oh and I didn't mean to be rude, WELCOME to our newbies

 

[kstan]

Hi, my CD21 were negative!!! Feel so deflated now!!!

Sorry yr not feeling too great MommySierra. Where are our eggy's?????

 

[BizyBee]

Welcome new members!

It seems we've all been down lately. It's so discouraging at times, but I am trying to have PMA.

 

[kstan]

Yay for PMA - It's sooo hard tho isn't it. You start the cycle with loadsa PMA then it's all zapped away by those BFN's. I think we should all pretend that 1 line really means preggers!!!!

 

[BizyBee]

I hear ya kstan! I am only on cd9 and I'm already worried about bfn's this cycle. It's so hard sometimes...

 

[hopeful4baby]

Hi everyone!

AF arrived and we are hopping into the 3rd cycle. Although, still trying to decide whether to take it or not as we are going on holiday next week and I could do with no side effects, especially when I'm on Clomid, just because they don't know what else to do with us..no identified reason..

Good luck to everyone!! Hope we'll have some BFP this July! xxx

 

[BizyBee]

Good luck this cycle Hopeful!
