Clomid/Femara Testers - TTC #1!

[mindgames77]

Oh ps, ignore my ticker, we've been trying for a year and half, and my DH is a paraplegic so we were able to get in to see a specialist this past November. After about a year or so of trying.

Hey mindfulness! I follow your journal. How have things been going?

Hey guys, I havent been around in a while. Any new Bfps?

So round 2 of clomid hasnt got me knocked up spotting started last night, so AF will be in full swing by tomorrow. bang on time. If nothing else at least Im like clockwork now!
Back to my specialist tomorrow morning. I think shes upping my clomid dose, so on to round 3.
On the positive side, my OHs SA results came back and theyre all perfect
His count is so high the doc was making jokes about it this made me very happy and gave the little boost I needed.

I hope everyone else is doing well. Im going to read back through the last few pages now.

sorry about af, hopefully your 3rd round will be your last. 3rd times a charm. Good news is your cycles are regular and thats great because its harder when u dont get af but u think your preggo, thats devastating.Good Luck

 

[Starlight2012]

ready - sorry about AF, but great news that your cycles are more consistent that is something that I have loved about clomid as before my cycles could be up to 50 days but now on clomid it is more like 30!

Hi
I had blood tests on cd 22 , as cd 21 was sunday...today I had an appointment with GP in order to discuss tests results she said that my blood tests all are normal but Progesterone level is 27...According to her it should be above 30 so then its regarded as normal so she said that I am on borderline may be I dont ovulate or according to her I dont have enough eggs...but she referred my DH for SA which has done today...so ill probably get results tommrow or within one week..GP said that if my DH results come out normal so she ill refer me to fertility specialist after which they ill decide but she said that probably they ill prescribed me fertility drugs...

Hi I understand the disappointment - I have been there too Since you are at a specialist-- have they done any ultrasounds to take a look at your uterine lining yet? I only ask because I WAS ovulating on my 50 mg of clomid but my lining was so thin (most likely bc of the clomid) my specialist told me I wouldnt' have gotten pregnant with just the clomid. Now I've got a cocktail of stuff that makes my lining thicker. That is awesome the SA came out so great!!!

 

[Breaking Dawn]

I agree with Elle - for me on 2 rounds of clomid 50mg...my lining was fine. Its when I got to round 3 ..which I'm on now ..was when my lining was thin and I was put on estrace!

If you're not having monitored (scans) on clomid these things can be missed.

Ready2B - sorry AF got you...hope third cycle is a charm for you. I'm on my 3rd right now.

Starlight - how's it going ..are u closer to O?

 

[Starlight2012]

hi breaking dawn! how are you doing? I am slowwwly getting closer to O. tomorrow is cd13 and will be going in for another folly scan. on CD11 I had a 15mm folly on the left, so I think that I will not O until maybe Friday-Sunday-ish? BD-ing in the meantime just to make sure though, hehe

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Starlight...sounds like you may O by friday...if u had a 15mm follie yesterday! Goodluck..and yes go BD...hahaha!

I'm good...in the tww now and just feel at a loss bc I REALLY want it to happen this cycle. Its my 3rd clomid cycle if I don't get a bfp then I'm seeing my dr to figure out what's next. I know he doesn't like to do too many clomid cycles bc it thins lining and I had that this cycle.

Did u get your acu done yet?

 

[ready2Bmum]

Thank you family1st, starlight & breaking dawn.

Elle that's a great question to ask! I'm going in tomorrow and il be sure to ask that. Thank you!

I had my first chiropractor appt today, suffering from arm, neck and shoulder strain. Hoping this along with deep tissue massage will help.

ttc stress isnt easing things either
So my chiro adjusted my lower back and said that it helps with TTC

has anyone ever heard of that?

also, i would really appreciate it if you guys could look at my temps. I temp the same time everyday and they seem so erractic.

lots of baby dust to you guys! thank you for the help

Yes my acu mentioned that adjustments can help ttc bc you are allowing for better mobility and bloodflow

 

[mindgames77]

CD 1 for me! Starting my first round of clomid in 5 days! When should I start using OPKs?

 

[puppymom]

mindgames - around CD 10 or 11. You have to give it a couple of days after your last dose, as Clomid can cause false positives on your OPKs.

Maddy - I think your temps look like they're starting to settle down a little lower now, and might be getting ready to gear up for ovulation. Whad CD did you ovulate last round of clomid?

 

[Rebandy11]

I am 2 dpo, my ovaries were still quite sore at 1 dpo but that must have been from the Clomid making them work extra hard

 

[Murmers0110]

Mindganea my dr has told me to test days 11-16 however both cycles I have ovulated ( I believe) on cd17.

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Mindgames...lik e the other girls said CD11 is good.

Rebandy...i know how u feel...im so tender when i O on clomid....prob bc the follies are 20 mm...thats 2 cm!!!!! Huge lol

 

[Starlight2012]

breaking dawn - i ended up cancelling my accu appointment because i had a conflict! for some reason this week i am not feeling as eager to do the accu, but i am sure that will change in a few days as I kind of go back and forth. you said that you really like it and find it relaxing?

I had another scan yesterday at CD13 that showed my left folly is up to 19mm now! Going back in for another scan tomorrow, but think that I will O sometime between Friday-Sunday!

Hi I had posted in this thread before but I think so that has been missed. I am not on clomid yet my my progesterone level is 27 . Gp said that I am on borderline it should be 30 or above 30 according to her may be they ill keep me on fertility drugs. My question is that what was your progesterone level ?
