clomid club

[lisaf]

Hey girls, I've been laying low all weekend and been busy cleaning the house for guests coming next weekend.
My period was very short this time, no Clomid this cycle so I expected it to be more 'normal'. I'm guessing that the clomid was thinning my lining out, so this break is a good thing.

Still going nuts trying to decide if I should take a month off or not. I'm thinking of taking this month off just so I don't have to worry about the stress of if I'm going to ovulate without the Clomid.
Had my bloodwork done on Saturday, CD3. Also had them throw in a glucose tolerance test to see if it tells me anything that may give me a clue about my weight issues/possible PCOS.

Good luck Simi. I had it done in February, along with a laporoscopy. Nothing to worry about

There you go, Smile!!!! I am almost certain you're going to get those twin boys . How many dpo are you now?

Good luck with your doctor, Mrphyemma!!!!

Hope everyone is great!!!

Morning Ladies,

I am a raging ball of firey hormones today. I think AF is winging her way to my door very soon by the state of me. I am very very moody and emotional. I also have cramping, back ache, headache, nausea, sore boobs and my temps are as crap as they have ever been at this point in my cycle. My chart looks the same as it usually does and that is not good. I have a very strong suspicion that the 50mg hasn't worked for me.

I did manage to speak to fs secretary this morning who refused point blank to give me my Cd21 results over the phone even though I pointed out that they were read to me over the phone last month. I told her that I won't be seeing the fs again now until 12th July but still no joy (bloody jobsworth) She did say if Mr Iqbal wanted to change the dose he would let me know but if I don't hear anything to assume all is well.
Thanks I hate being in limbo.

I found the FS's secretary the most frustrating part of trying to deal with TTC Emma- she drove me insane! When I was in your position and the 50mg was not working properly and I couldn't get an answer- I just rang her up and demanded an appointment with the FS the following week!!! While at the appointment I memtioned to him that I had booked the appointment becuase she wouldn't help me on the phone! Every following month I rang her and said "Mr Smith has asked me to get my cd21 number off youeach month- I know you haveno medical training and do not feel comfortable discussing it (she had said this a million times!) - but he says you can give me the number with no further discussion" I never had a problem again! Ring back and bug her for an appointment xxx

My goodness!!! Such rudeness!! So sorry you had to go through that Mrphyemma . And you too, babyloulou!! Are the FS' secretaries always so difficult? Over here (Lagos), I decided to go private because I was almost losing my mind with the hospital covered by my insurance!!! It felt like a conveyor belt system....no personal touch at all!!! After getting progesterone treatment last year....which lengthened my cycle by almost 10 days....and not being able to get a conclusive answer for days, I decided enough was enough! Having a doctor who is personally involved with my situation so much justifies how much I have to pay.

Mrphyemma! Hopefully, all those are symptoms of something that is NOT AF related!! It aint over yet hun!

 

[yomo]

Its so annoying aint it!! I was the same last week.

How are all you girls doing??? xx

 

[caz & bob]

that is bad that carnt believe you when through that how is all today im 1 dpo today use m preseed last night got some left for tonight haha xxxxxx

 

[DragonMummy]

Emma speakt o your GP - they should be able to get your results and actually will be able to adjust our dose if you've not ovualted - that's what mine have done. x

 

[mrphyemma]

Thanks DM I never thought of that x

 

[Smile4me]

Awww Emma we all know how you feel, I went through that last week as well, Not only are our hormones raging, we are emotional and stressed and then we get a slap in the face from the few people who are supposed to be on "our side" lol... Good advice Lou to make an appointment but I wonder if that may not be an option for Emma, I would simply say, "I'm not asking for much, I just want to know if I should take a pregnancy test or not, I'm just asking for my blood numbers I can't imagine that is asking too much?" If you were in my shoes, you would be on pins and needles as well. I'm sure you can sympathize as you work in an office that deals with hormonal women who are on the edge as it is... That should get her to unleash her jaws of steal, its such a simple request... GRRRRR!!

Yes i too am having hormonal eisodes, yesterday my husband was simply asking me about some things in regards to this weekend and I was thinking in my head... "dude, make up your mind, just make a decision" I took a deep breathe and tried my hardest not to let him know I wanted to bite his head off and drink an entire bottle of wine... hehe... I know the outcome is worth all of this but oh my goodness I am irritable.
I just try to remember that it is no ones fault that we are taking this drug that is making us feel all these emotions so just remember to breathe

 

[Smile4me]

BTW what is a GP?

 

[babyloulou]

G.P stand for "general practioner"- it is a general doctor in other words!

Emma- my GP wouldn't have anything to do with it when I tried that- but worth a try!! If you still get no joy demand an appointment with your F.S xxx

 

[mrssunshine78]

babylou big congrats to you xx

did you do anything different this month?

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Oh, congrats babyloulou. I'm always excited to hear about s. I wish you a very healthy and happy 8+ months ahead!!!

 

[wishful think]

Just make sure you are bding regularly xx

Hi babyloulou, congrats on your bfp, hope i am in your shoes some day. We have been advised by the urologist to about 3 times a week (we were doing that anyhow). Dh has low sperm and motility. Imagine over a year now of all this bding!!! Making a baby is alot of hard work, it's driving me

 

[Smile4me]

Good luck Simi. I had it done in February, along with a laporoscopy. Nothing to worry about

There you go, Smile!!!! I am almost certain you're going to get those twin boys . How many dpo are you now?

Good luck with your doctor, Mrphyemma!!!!

Hope everyone is great!!!

Buttercup - thanks What determined that you needed laproscopy - Just curious?

I am only five days past ovulation

 

[Smile4me]

babylou big congrats to you xx

did you do anything different this month?

Mrs. Sunshine... are you on clomid? Are you going to be testing soon?

 

[Britt11]

Good morning girls!!
yes that is lousy Emma- they should give you that #, i would phone back like one of the other girls suggested and get an apt. On a positive side it would appear you ovulated since no follow up
Good for you at not testing, I am so awful for that usually in the 2ww

to all the ladies in the 2ww

good luck to those waiting to O

 

[mrssunshine78]

i'm not on clomid this month - i did 3 months, and now am going for natural IUI for 3 months and then clomid IUI for another 3 months

having terrible af pains today, so chances are there'll be no need to test

I would test but don't think there is much point. AF is most definitely on her way
