Clomid/Femara Testers - TTC #1!

[sara115597]

welcome sara and all the new ladies! sara, sorry for the newb questions, but tell us a little bit about provera and metformin. i wonder if that should be on my list..... i did my first round of clomid and am on cd 25 with no sign of o yet!

Hey Horsey,

Well metformin is for my PCOS, I guess it is a insulin type thing, cause I am a bit on the heavy side. SO they give you that to help w/ the pcos.
The provera is a drug that yout ake for ten days and that kick starts your AF so you can get acurate U/S of cysts ( I guess ) so after I get AF I will go in on day 3 for cycle, and then day 5 start clomid 100mg

sara your right metformin is used to treat pcos with insulin resistence which is what i have(i had been on it a month last year when i got my bfp) sadly it was ectopic) i was on 2000mg a day and insulin plus other meds to help control the diabetes which does not help in ttc
i am now on a low glycemic diet and am off my meds the only thing that am taking is prednisone for possible rheumatoid arthritis and high blood pressure meds which i might be comming off as well

sara are they going to be keeping you on met if you get your bfp? i was told that as soon as i got a bfp i would be using insulin only but am hopping that i can keep it low and not use anything (one can dream)

afm last day of provera now i need af to get here so that i can begin the clomid

Lucy, I hope she comes soon.

Sara, I'm heavy too, maybe I should ask then to test my insulin. I'm gonna see my doc at the end of November....

Smiler WOOP!!!!!!!

Yeah, I am still waiting but hey, the weekend is almost here at least. I can count on it too. lol

MrsElsie, I'm hoping my doc will up the dose to 100 next time too.

How was your HALloWeEN??

 

[Starlight2012]

Smiler - exciting that you've O'd!

Lucy - hope your AF comes soon so that you can start your clomid journey.

Horseypants - I hope that you O sooon!!

AFM - had my D16 scan today and left follies are growing slowly but getting there - they are about 11-13mm, so hopefully will O within about a week!

 

[Smiler82]

Yay Starlight!! Get to BDing!!

 

[Starlight2012]

LOL thanks Smiler! Have been BD-ing about every other day, so will try to keep that up! The weekends are always better for BD-ing because during the week DH and I are sometimes just tired after a long day at work - not sure if you ladies ever find that?

 

[Smiler82]

Yeah the weekends are generally better as there is more time to properly enjoy it However I have to say I'm blessed with a husband who is up for it no matter how tired he is. Even when he is ill he still wants to! I find though that it's quite nice to make love just before we go to sleep as it does actually chill me out; even if it's been a stressy day we just go to bed a little early, and afterwards we're both more relaxed and sleep better for it

 

[horseypants]

zomg, im still grumpy butt. im sad cause i truly thought i'd be prego by now. yay smiler for o! starlight, fingers crossed for you. i'm so bummed out that when i start typing, i feel blah. love u guys though xo

weekends are for like

Hi all. I'm also using clomid. Waiting to poas, I'm 9dpo. Can someone pls help me with this, I posted as a thread but got not response:

I'm on my 1st round of clomid. I had hcg trigger on23rd of October and ovulated 24th (next day). Isn't the hcg supposed to tak effect 30 hours after ovulation, does that mean I ovulated b4 the hcg took effect. Will this affect my chances of being pregnant?

I have very sore nipples, I'm 9 Dpo (10 days after trigger). Is this an effect of hcg or early pg symptoms?

That it would be ok to post here, hope I'm not crashing. Thanks

 

[Starlight2012]

I totally agree with you Smiler - after a long stressful day, it is great to BD before sleeping - definitely relaxes me to

Sorry to hear that you are feeling blah horseypants

Hi Niyoo! I don't have any experiences with trigger shots, so sorry I can't help you there. Sore nipples can be from early pg, or could also be pre-AF symptoms, so may be a bit soon to tell, but fx for your BFP this cycle

 

[horseypants]

Hi niyoo, welcome, I'm not sure about your question, but I think you will fit well in our group and I've added you to the top post as "waiting to test"

 

[Niyoo]

Hi Niyoo! I don't have any experiences with trigger shots, so sorry I can't help you there. Sore nipples can be from early pg, or could also be pre-AF symptoms, so may be a bit soon to tell, but fx for your BFP this cycle [/QUOTE]

Thanks for your reply. I never get sore nipples before AF, but who knows what clomid and hcg are doing to me!

 

[horseypants]

Niyoo, I'm not sure either - sounds like a good thing i say.

 

[horseypants]

AghghghghghhHH!!! ladies! today I am so mad im not pregnant yet!

 

[Starlight2012]

Oh it is sooo frustrating Horsey! It isn't fair that we aren't pregnant yet!

Niyoo - you'll be able to test soon and find out!

 

[Smiler82]

oh horseypants It really can drive you up the wall and beyond. Nothing I can really say to help but just vent, do get it all out of your system. We understand!

Niyoo, hello! Sorry I am going to add to the chorus of "I don't know". I haven't had hcg triggers either. How long have you been TTC? I wonder if you might get a more knowledgeable response from the ladies on the Long Term Trying To Conceive part of the forum as many of them have gone through a lot more processes than us. But do stay on this thread and keep chatting with us

 

[MrsElsie]

Starlight I'm so pleased for you that you finally heard from your brothers, what a relief. Some of the images coming through are shocking aren't they. But yeah I totally agree there'll be a baby boom in 9 months' time! That's what happened when the credit crunch hit wasn't it, as people couldn't afford to go out

That is also great news your follies have done a u-turn Starlight Really hope it leads to O.

MrsElsie I don't know about doing it whilst on clomid, but I do read a lot of people on here using natural progesterone cream. It might be worth looking into it if you haven't already? I hope the 100mg does the trick, it certainly seems to have worked a lot better for me than the 50mg did.

horseypants did you get to ask anyone about increasing your dose too?

I don't want to be to 'woop-woopy' as I know a lot of ppl on here are feeling quite frustrated at the mo, but I'm pretty sure I ovulated on CD16. Just need one more high temp tomorrow and FF should confirm. I have never ovulated this early, EVER. I really hope you all get to up your doses too xxx

Hey Smiler I think that news is definitely woop woopy! Really pleased for you, gives the rest of us hope that the clomid might work.

I'm in a weird (but nice) situation - for the first time ever I have been left on my own with a young (2 month old) baby overnight (my nephew) while my hubbie and his brother / sister in law go out to celebrate his brother's birthday. Am slightly nervous but he's sleeping next to me at the moment - so cute!!! Hope he behaves! Think I might try to bathe him a bit later - wish me luck!

I'm afraid I cant help with the trigger injection question either - but welcome to the thread

 

[Lmhiggins]

AghghghghghhHH!!! ladies! today I am so mad im not pregnant yet!

Horsey pants I'm so with you on that one. I'm actually getting mad when I see random pregnant women ITS NOT FAIR we deserve it too !!!!

 

[Niyoo]

Thanks for making feel welcome here! My name is on the 1st page, love it!

I'm so worried now though, been having uterine cramps

 

[Smiler82]

Aww MrsElsie how did you get on with your nephew? How lovely to get to spend time with him like that, but also understand how it could feel a little strange caring for a baby when you want your own so much. I hope you had a good night together

Niyoo I've found that being on clomid I cramp after ovulation pretty much every day. How many dpo are you now?
