Oh no sorry Ellen!! Didn't mean to set off the baby sickness! I don't know what's up with me- I don't feel ill at all just a churning stomach! It's actually churning that loud my OH can hear it! I am wondering if it's cough medicine overdose!!

Well ive just remembered i have my 3 month follow up appointment at the clinic tomorrow. This should be fun, i was ment to lose more weight but i havent. Not through lack of trying. Me and OH havce decided to stop the treatment though till after xmas as ill be 23 then. Im just debating weather or not to complete my last cycle of clomid or save it?? Hmmm


Hope all is good with everyone else.

 

[xkissyx]

no i havn't lou hun .... i have the following symptoms ...

weight mainly carried round the tummy
non-existant periods
extra hair growth in places where a lady should not have it
weight gain since puberty
frequent headache's (maybe due to astigmatism)
hormonal imbalance

having been tested a few times i don't have PCOS so going to rule out diabetes xx

 

[Britt11]

Hope everyone is well.
So I got my CD21 bloods back today and my progesterone was 53.4!!!!!
crazy, does Clomid increase it that much? anyone can relate their numbers or give advice on mine?
I got excited for a second and then realized it could just be from the Clomid and nothing else...
I really have no pregnancy symptoms, just big boobs and I had some cramping a couple days ago...other than that, same old..
Although, very happy I O'd at least.
look forward to some insight

Hi ladies...why is that the closer my testing day gets the more scared I become I am so scared to get a
why does it have to be so hard??

 

[xkissyx]

why don't you test now ... i'm so bad for testing whenever i just feel like it and a bad girl for encouraging it hehe xx

 

[NurseKel]

Sounds good Kissy! When are you gonna be testing?
Britt11, that is a great level! It definitely shows you ovulated so now you just have that crappy 2 week wait...ugh!
Fingers crossed for both of you and all the other Clomid ladies.
Congrats to the BFPs that I saw earlier. I have tried to keep up but was out of town all weekends so sorry if I missed anything.

 

[slara6105]

the dh hides my hpt's...he doesnt want me testing so soon...lol...i guess its for my own good...

 

[Britt11]

Thanks Nursekel, hope your pregnancy is going well. Initially when I heard those results I was like whoa maybe I'm pregs, but I soon found out that it simply just shows ovulation- glad I have high O #'s though
any symptoms Sara?

Hey everyone.. you guys write so much that by the time I get to the end to respond I've forgotten half of what I wanted to say.

Just when I think I can predict my cycle, it surprises me. Last 2 cycles got a positive OPK and a temp rise 3 days later. So of course this time my temp rises 2 days after my OPK. Stupid body, lol! Looks like I'm 1dpo now though! Will get my bloods done next Monday, entering my 2ww, though with my 12 day LP, I guess its less than 2 weeks... guess thats one upside?

Glad to hear Ollie and SBB are doing good. Can't wait to hear scan result news!

Keepsmiling - I was terrified Clomid wouldn't make me ovulate, and it did... then next cycle I was terrified it would stop working and it did, lol. It seems to just work for me so I've stopped worrying too much

Britt, that's a great level! Clomid can definitely make it higher, but its hard not to get your hopes up, right? Someone on here previously told me their levels and I believe their 8dpo number was in the mid 50s.

slara - I try not to dread it. I figure each negative means I'm not pregnant 'yet'... it keeps me sane though since I tell myself that I could not possibly have pregnancy symptoms yet have levels too low to show up on my tests. I find it to help cushion the blow when AF comes. It keeps me from getting way too anxious on those tests closer to AF.

kissy - I assume your pituitary is ok too? PCOS does not always come with cysts but if the other tests are negative I guess they'd be right to rule out PCOS. I got tested for it 6 years ago but have a lot of those same symptoms (weight gain, facial hair, etc). I wasn't ovulating or getting periods on my own, but clomid did work for me. I've been reading up on it a lot though and a hypothalamus disorder could cause symptoms that look like PCOS (I have a sleep disorder that is treated by a medication that treats the hypothalamus so I figured either my sleep disorder could be a sign something was wrong there or the medication could be throwing things off)

Congrats on the BFPs, FX'd for those of you in the 2ww.

Hi ladies! :wave:
I am considering asking my doctor for clomid. I was on it for 4 cycles before (but they werent checking me!) I am under care of a new doctor now, and they are probably going to do an HSG soon, but I wanted to help things along. Its getting harder and harder to take the disappointment going on three years! Only thing is, I had a couple of really painful cysts, one of which leaked into my abdominal cavity.. they went away on their own but I think Clomid might have helped to build these cysts. I am wondering if any of you other ladies have had any problems with cysts due to Clomid, and if perhaps there is a combination of drugs to help to deter them, or maybe just try an alternate drug? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

My doctor says it depends on the dose you are on. I am on 50mg Clomid and asked my doctor about the cysts. In his many years of practice he said he'd only recently seen one woman get cysts on 50mg. I'm on my 4th cycle and have not been checked much either. I was aware of the risks and agreed to the minimal monitoring to control my costs. I haven't had anything that really makes me think I have cysts, but of course I wonder.

Femara is the alternative I've heard most about. It isn't supposed to cause the same issues for lining and CM that clomid does, but I believe it also has a slight risk for cysts. If you were on a high dose of Clomid but can get away with a lower dose of Femara, you may avoid the cysts that way? Just a thought I guess.
