Ok ladies, I need some advice and/or stories. How bad has your O pain been since on Clomid? I've had twinges before but today I am bent over in pain. I'm actually afraid it's a cyst bursting and my doc's nurses told me to come in this afternoon so I am, but I figure that you all know more personal experience than any male doc can tell me. I think I'm on a higher dose than anyone else on the thread (200mg) so this could be part of it but I just don't know.

On an unmedicated cycle, I literally had to lie down on the kitchen floor from O pain. The cat and I spent 20 minutes on the floor...so O pain can definitely be severe. It shouldn't last for long, though, if it's just you O'ing. A cyst would hurt for much longer. Good luck!!!

I haven't had this kind of pain at all, just twinges and little cramps to tell me O is coming. I would go in to the doc's just in case. I'm only on 100 mg though, so I don't know about the higher dosage and if that makes a difference.

[/QUOTE]Well, I'm seeing a specialist on the 18th, so I'll ask him/her. I have started taking baby aspirin, so we'll see if that helps. I suppose avoiding alcohol and coffee would help....I'm just so sick of living a life like I'm pregnant without the baby! I want to enjoy life as we're ttc!

Surprisingly, I have had no hot flashes since the first round and no emotional ups and downs this cycle. No side effects yet...last night was my last pill of this round.[/QUOTE]

Glad you're seeing a specialist I so hear you about being sick of living like a pregnant woman all this time!! Most women just have to do it for 9 mos...we'll end up doing it for several years just for one baby! I might compromise and only have one big cup of coffee a day during the tww.

That's great that you've had no side effects this cycle! I'm having crazy side effects...the mood swings have started being out of control again...AWESOME. I think I just need some alone time. I'm also starving all the time, which is weird...and super exhausted, which is normal from Clomid for me. I just hope this month works....

x0xbaybeeemz -Hi hun i was pregnant but sadly had a m/c last week

How are all you ladies getting on? Going to ring the gyno department tomorrow to ask if im ok to start my second round of clomid on my next cycle. I have an appointment in june which i was told would be for my HSG but to be honest i think thats pointless as we know now that i can get pregnant but for some reason i am having m/c's so i dont know what the next step will be at my next appoinment my OH had a Semen Analysis and everything came back normal & ive had tests and ive not got pcos so im hoping the next step will be to have tests done on my eggs to see what might be causing my m/c's i have been doing alot of research and have read alot about testing for NK Cells as alot of m/c's are because of this so maybe i have an inbalance of NK cells? who knows i just wish i could find out now the sadest part about it is they wont do any investigations or testing on my eggs until i have had 4 m/c's as they said i could go on to have a normal pregnancy and that 1-3 m/cs are normal but i cant imagen going through another 2 m/c's before they actually investigate and take action it seems so stupid and unfair

I read in your journal that you suffered from psoriasis, which is an auto-immune condition. I haven't read the research on NK cells, but I'm suspecting over-active NK cells is a type of immune dysregulation, much like an auto-immune condition...your body thinks the embryo is a foreign body to attack. From research I've done regarding auto-immune conditions, they tend to come in multiples...once you have one, you're at risk for others. Perhaps try going at this at a different angle and see an immunologist or rheumatologist for "psoriasis" and "suspected auto immune conditions." You might be able to get a different doctor to do bloodwork and look at your levels of various immune cells You could then mention to that doctor that you have been having miscarriages, too. Worth a try So sorry that you're having so many problems!!

 

[rosababy]

My dh has psoriasis...I wonder if it affects fertility on his end? Never thought of that. His case is very mild, just a patch on his elbows and knees.

 

[ldybeowulf]

The doc sent me for pelvic and transvaginal ultrasounds. He didn't feel anything but he wanted to make sure. He said it could be O pains but since I've never had pain like this, he wants to verify. All I know is that I was having bad pains off and on for most of the day.

 

[xsarahxxannx]

I'm out this cycle AF showed yesterday, so on to round 2 of Clomid! ugh.

 

[caz & bob]

girls how are you all happy Friday well opks are still the same think it will be Sunday of next week i get a darker on keep waking up really early and my boobs are burning and my nipples are really itch feel like pulling them off haha aw sarah sorry got you hun fx next cycle x x x

 

[doodles999]

rosa- Hmmm I don't know. I know that some men can have a sperm allergy and attack their own sperm, but that would show up in an SA, so I think you're in the clear.

sarah- Sorry AF got you...we all know how hard that is! Enjoy a glass of wine this weekend.

Idy- Hope that was just O pain and not a cyst! If it was a cyst that already ruptured, they won't be able to see anything now (or do anything about it). Hope you're feeling better!!

 

[ldybeowulf]

Idk what the pain was but I do have 2 cysts. They are both in the left ovary and the largest is 2.5 cm. It's weird since the worse pain was on the right side. They didn't mention scar tissue or that I was Oing so I think that I Od Monday or Tuesday and now the cysts are just becoming painful. I did have to go have blood drawn for the ca-125 test, which is the test that tells you if you have ovarian cancer. Needless to say, it's been a rough night and an even worse day.

 

[caz & bob]

girls how are u all afm come down with a bad cold feel ill weather her is rain rain its horrible and dull so going to chill today x x x

 

[Coco14]

Hi everyone can I join?
On 1st round of clomid, CD18 now, waiting for call from fertility clinic with blood test results... :S

 

[caz & bob]

welcome hun good luck x x x

 

[freeeg]

Welcome coco and Good luck!

My temp took a dive today, so expecting AF unless its late IB which i doubt so much!
Will skip clomid next cycle cause DH will be travelling right after O time, considering there's only a limited number of clomid rounds i don't want to risk Oing with DH not here (i O'd late with clomid this cycle for the first time ever).

 

[caz & bob]

girls happy mothers day to all the mums afm still full of a cold temps was high going to do a opk in a min see how dark it is fx its dark so i can get some today x x x

 

[freeeg]

well the showed up today so first clomid cycle is
I might skip this cycle, i'm afraid my O will be late like last time and DH will be travelling right after when i'm supposed to O.

doodles thankyou for your advice you are right it could be the reason for my m/c's but they wont investigate further until i have had 3 m/c's which isnt fair i wish i could have my blood tested for auto-immune now so then at least i know why i am having my m/c's i have done reasearch myself and it looks like i have an auto-immune condition i have an appointment in june at the fertility clinic so i will be making sure i bring this up and ask for a blood test to be done! least then i can be given drugs to stop my over active cells from attacking any future pregnancies, thanks hun really apprieciate your advice x
