clomid club

[lisaf]

When do you see your doctor to discuss the results?
It may be something easy to fix too.... something like a cyst that may need to be removed... not a huge deal compared to some other things.
Sometimes its just protocol and the techs won't discuss anything with you without your doctor's permission.

My husband had to have his doctor give permission to see his own SA or get the results from the lab... it was a Friday and his doctor went home without telling the lab techs it was ok. Since I was about to start another round of Clomid and wanted to know if there was a point to even bothering, I called my doc and they looked it up for me.

oh smile, I wouldnt worry to much..though I know that will be hard....I know that they do measure your ovaries and if there are cysts, which can be harmless, they will measure those in great detail as well. Also, you might have some minor fibroids...that she had to measure. When they measure these things they do take them from different angles. When do you get your results again.

 

[Smile4me]

I'm calling tomorrow ... she said that the results would be ready so I'm calling my OB but she usually makes her house calls or results in around 1-3pm so I'm prepared to just wait until then ..

ugh a whole weekend huh? that stinks! I have to call my OB everytime any tests are done but if I don't then she is pretty relaxed about things... I'm the one that asked her for an ultrasound after being on clomid... lol

 

[lisaf]

I asked my GYN about an ultrasound too because of the Clomid... he told me that If I'm not in pain then I don't have cysts... he also said in all his years of practice he's only once seen a woman get cysts on 50mg. I'm getting one anyway though, lol.. just bypassing him to do it.

 

[Smile4me]

LOL I don't blame you ... I am not a doctor but there has to be an explanation of something going on and why we are not getting pregnant... and it doesn't hurt to start with the basics, and be thorough right!!

 

[lisaf]

Exactly! I don't want to waste month after month going through this rollercoaster without even knowing. Sure, it would be a waste of money if you're one of those people who just need 6 months of trying to get pregnant, but that just doesnt' seem to be my situation so why waste time, right?

 

[lisaf]

Yay! Seems like the is finally here. Probably can't count today as CD1 but this is definitely more than spotting.. should be here in full force by tomorrow...

Here's to next cycle being yours Lisa

 

[DragonMummy]

@Lisa - WOOP for AF - I hate being in limbo, must have been driving you crackers!

@Smile - Sorry to hear your scanner was so unhelpful. Mine was lovely and explained everything she could see and was doing.

@Lou - glad to see your bean is still sticky - fx'd crossed!



Well I have been working for the last couple of days plus have been out and had an early night last night so not been on the forums much. My opk's have been getting darker, but to be honest I am not thinking about them too much as I was under the impression it was a sudden surge, not a gradual one. will keep testing every day with my ic's anyway just in case.

I had my cd21 bloods done yesterday. Should get the results Thursday eve or Friday morning. Not that I need them, I know I didn't ovulate. Just like last cycle I know I did! But good to have on record I think. If I don't have anything as of next monday am going to go to my GP and ask for some provera to bring on AF again. Will be CD33 by then. Ample time for an eggy to rear its ugly head!

Anyway this is my opk today

Hi Ladies,

How is everyone today?

Smile4me, I had the same experience as you last month. My tech was poker faced with android qualities and she took loads of pics too, also outlining things that I couldn't make out on the screen. At the end of it I asked her simply if everything looked okay and she said she couldn't tell me anything and my fs would discuss the results with me in July!!!!!! Needless to say I left their in turmoil and almost in tears thinking there was something wrong and she couldn't tell me. My fs has not called me in to see him sooner so I assume nothing is majorly wrong with me but it is still playing on my mind. I hope you are put out of your misery soon xx

Lisa, Sorry but also glad that AF is here for you. Here's to a June BFP xx

Caz, Have you got that +opk yet?

I am according to FF now on 5dpo. My temps have improved greatly after the shaky start but now the pessimist in me is putting that down to the warmer weather we are having now

 

[mrphyemma]

DM It is really odd that you keep getting dark opk's, is there the tiniest chance that it may be picking up HCG? Have you tried a sneaky hpt? xx

That's how I found out! Never got a positive for ov and wann't sure I'd ov'ed by temps either- then got dark opks later in the cycle and it was a BFP! TEST!!

Test! Lou how long did it take for you Preseed to come as I don't want to order any yet just in case I don't need it, but want it to be here in time for next OV. Also where did you get it from.

Hope everything went ok at the doctors yesterday x

 

[DragonMummy]

I wondered that too, but I've not ovulated and I did try a cheapy last week and nothing. So pretty sure it's not. Would be marvellous if it was!

 

[DragonMummy]

@Em - at android qualities! Am I really alone in receiving treatment from human beings?

 

[mrphyemma]

Seems so DM! Please test!! last week is last week! x

Hi

Went for my follicle tracking today and it seems as though I have ovlulated on my own this month (I had to have injection last month as the cycle before I did not ovulated and the follicle turned to a cyst). Anyone else had this - I am on day 13. Do you think my body may have 'learnt' to ovulate again after having the injection?? They are also stopping me having the clomid as it is just causing me to have cysts even though I am only on 50mg - anyone else had this too??
Just wondering if my body may produce follicles on its own again now after taking clomid?

x

 

[caz & bob]

hi girls 94 is a lot well girls i will be useing my preseed tonight im in my fertile period hayyyyyyyyy xxxxx

 

[babyloulou]

Yomo- I get mine from Amazon and it usually comes in a couple of days xxx

 

[Britt11]

Hey girls, sorry I was away for a bit- after bragging how painless and easy the HSG was I ended up getting bad cramping and stomach pains a few hours later- anyway, my stomach was awful until just now, this morning. So the procedure didnt hurt but later the cramping was not good. Also got very emotional this cycle (has to be from the Clomid) and DH and I got into a horrible fight- it was awful...anyway, happy to say that is behind us now.
agggh, this ttc thing is so hard for sure

anyway,

hello Emma!!! how are you? yeah for being 5dpo!! again you might even be 7 or 8dpo...from your +ve opk....I think temps are off with Clomid- but your chart is looking so stellar!!

DM- I actually get an LH surge before AF similar to your opk...hopefully its preg related but if not hope your next cycle is lucky

JoJo- good question, sorry I dont know...maybe try posting that on the other Clomid thread...

Caz- yeah to fertile time!! have you gotten a +ve opk yet?

TTC- where are you at?

Lou- how are you doing hon? I will also go to the other thread

SMile4me- they took a ton of pics for me too...I think thats normal b/c on the same scan they do each ovary and the uterus- so it takes awhile. Like you said you should find out the results today- good luck hon, sure you will be fine

as for me, I think I might get a positive opk on Friday- in which case IUI would be on Sat...hopefully all goes well
