clomid club

[lisaf]

Lol, I was thinking about that this morning... how I used to be so glad I didn't get sore breasts or any kind of PMS... but now I'm wondering if its because I was never ovulating! (or at least maybe I've always had low progesterone?)

 

[VickyLou]

Maybe huni but hopefully that can get sorted out now. How do they test for low progesterone? xx

 

[lisaf]

They check for progesterone at 7 days past ovulation.
Mine has indicated ovulation, but is lower than it should be even for a natural cycle and I was on Clomid.
Its possible that if I am pregnant, my body could totally kick in and up the progesterone production and everything would be great. But its also possible that my body wont' keep making the progesterone and I could lose a pregnancy.

They usually diagnose it during a pregnancy by blood tests if they suspect something is going wrong.
Otherwise, they suspect it might be a contributing factor to early miscarriages, but they don't even suspect it until you've had 3!

Its kind of hard to tell if progesterone levels are falling because the pregnancy is failing or if the progesterone falling ends the pregnancy.

Hmmmm dont really understand all that really huni..... im thinking i might be the same though. They like to see over 40 when on clomid but every month i have ovulated on the clomid but my levels have been really low...

1st month 39.9 (which was perfect)
2nd month 29.1 (borderline)
3rd month 27. 8 (borderline)

I dont no lol

well its my last clomid pill tonight x x x x

 

[keepsmiling]

goodbye to the last pill hey yay xxx

 

[caz & bob]

i no i hate takening pills me x x x x

 

[lisaf]

Vicky - sounds like me... supposedly it can't really hurt to take the supplemental progesterone once you ovulate/are pregnant.
I just read something though that said by the time you get a positive test, its too late for a supplement to rescue your levels... though there are tons of stories out there that contradict that so I'm going to ignore that.

 

[keepsmiling]

ignore it def lisa, dnt worry urself, keep us all updated on ur test in the morn xx

[mrphyemma]

Still waiting for a temperature rise. I had yet another dip this morning. Am clueless now as to what my blooming broken body is playing at. Got a +opk on Cd14 and no temp rise to confirm ovulation. SIGH

Lisa I hope this is it for you sweetheart x

 

[lisaf]

Thanks emma... I hope so too.. I'm paranoid that its an invalid test and that I'm an idiot. Will be testing in a few hours when I get home from work so we'll see.. if its still negative I'm going to be pretty upset.
Also trying to figure out how to use these darned suppositories I picked up at the pharmacy... too embarrased to call and ask. Also - they felt cold when I picked them up but it doesnt' say I have to refrigerate them or anything... very confused.

ugh caz I am jealous, I wish I had already taken my last damn pill...havent even started....UGH.....not till monday for me!

Britt what days are you doing your pills, b/c of the IUI?

Hey girls,
how are you?
I had a great day...roller blading and meeting friends, there was about 10 kids there no joke and I am the only one without- HOWEVER, they are awesome girls and i have known them since i was a teenager and they dont make me feel left out at all.

i here ya girls, I bought some Corona Light and wine today!!

Lisa, I am anxiously awaiting todays test!! let us know, I hope this is it for you

TTC- I know what you mean about time dragging....I am CD6 today I think, but I got to take my clomid a bit early. The only reason why I am on different cycle days is my GP prescribed me the days 5-9 (which worked great btw) and this fertility clinic's policy is CD3-7, no other reason he said just thats what they put everyone on...

HSG on Monday....gulp
