Clomid & male factor infertility

[pink32]

great news Mirf! how long are you doing the progesterone for? i did it for 2 weeks, 2 a day (1 morn and 1 nite)....

as long as you stay bloated and have that full feeling right through you should get a positive result...the bloating lasts for about 13 weeks apparantly...i still feel very full, bloated etc.

Sounds really nice you guys preparing for thanks giving etc...another excuse to eat and drink sounds good to me!
we dont have thanks giving here! just know that you have turkey, eat heaps, and drink heaps....lol

I've been on the progesterone for 6 days, I do two at a time, three times a day. They said if I get a positive I need to continue until 9 weeks. So 5 weeks after the positive. Yuck.

 

[pink32]

really? i wonder why! what a pain in the arse! it is so gross !

 

[Mamamirfy]

They said it's to support the lining for pregnancy. You're right! It's soo gross. I can't imagine doing this for that long. It's hard to remind myself three times a day too. I would prefer an injectionfor sure. My boobs are like rocks - its insane.

I guess all fs do there own thing!!! As long as ur pregnant at the end orbit that's the Main thing. What date do u find out / go in for blood restore quill u test at home b4 hand?

 

[pink32]

Sorry for the spelling errors this ph has a mind of it's own

 

[Mamamirfy]

Hahaha I have an iPhone too. I go for blood test next Friday, so one week. I don't think I'll test before. Fast forward to me poas twice a day lol. I will try and hold off.

Has DH smartened up?

Lesley- how did Thanksgiving turn out? Did you survive the shopping?

I asked my FS about this and she gave me a flat no. I've had every test under the sun and they've found nothing wrong with me but my husband's sperm count is slightly on the low side, one was 17 million the other 18 million. She said to me that because I ovulate, it will make no difference. But I can't see how that's true. If Clomid can help you release more than one egg then surely his sperm have more chance of getting there! But my friend's doctor put her on it (she's in a different area from me so different doctor and different FS) and she said to me to try and get them to give it to me but a lot of doctors apparently don't believe in it. I think it would help though so really frustrating, especially as I'm sure it costs a lot less for this drug than IVF through the NHS so I thought it would have been worth a try at least!

Hey, girls! It has been a LONG weekend! Thanksgiving was good but we never ate the leftovers really. . We have 3 xmas trees up, the house fully lit. stocking, wreaths, garland, the whole bit. I got up at 4a on Friday to do Black Friday shopping...my dad stayed with the girls. Great deals at Target! Then, Friday afternoon, we had a sitter and went shopping w/out the girls also. Last night, we had sushi and watched Christmas Vacation while decorating. Today is finishing touches, football and steaks on the grill tonight. WHEW! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

Susan, I think we were all on Clomid for male factor and we all did iuis that didn't work. Since then, each of us has moved to ivf. But, that being said, I think Clomid is the place to start at least.

Anyway, I am finally DONE. Ex

Hi Girls,

this friday mirf - awesome! cant come quick enough can it! I cant wait for the results...make sure u post immediately

oh silly sounds like you had a very nice weekend...i feel a bit wierd not decorating for xmas this year but i dont see the point we are moving house....i'll just put up my mini xmas tree so there is somthing its about 35 cm tall and electric! lol better than nothing i guess.

Susan - as silly said we all did the clomid and did nothing for us, but definately worth a shot, you got nothing to lose! xoxo

 

[Mamamirfy]

Hi Susan - I agree with the girls. It's a good step to start because it's afforadable. It didn't work out for us but who's to say it won't work out for you. Good luck!

Lesley - I love that your house is all decorated. I love Target...I try to go there when I go to the States. I can only imagine the deals. Some stores were offering Black Friday (we don't have even have it in Canada) sales to try and keep us here instead of going south to shop. We live on the boarder. Our huge shopping day is the day after Christmas. Boxing Day. It's pure chaos.

Pink - I'm very excited...and very anxious. I have had the worst, most stressful, upsetting few days. I'm terrified that all my stress is going to have a negative outcome. I think it's over for the most part but I really really hope everything will be ok. 5 more sleeps. Feel soooo long away.

 

[pink32]

i know what u mean mirf! you're like me always thinking the worst! i still stress and still am stressed...i have my 12 wk scan monday and guess what? i'm stressed! such worry warts! are u still bloated? if so a very good sign! it will be a long week i can feel it xoxo

 

[pink32]

hey mirf, i was wondering were your blasties beginning to hatch before they put them back?

 

[pink32]

oh and another thing! why were u really stressed over the last few days? is everything ok?

 

[Mamamirfy]

She never mentioned if they were about to hatch. She just said that great was A and these were beyond that at AA. Best of the best she said. were yours about to hatch?

Just stress about in laws andmoney. We took my X5 in for servicing and thru quoted on the phone it would be $450 and now they say $3000!!!! With the $12000 for ICSI and Xmas coming I'm so stressed. I've been crying (emotional) and can't stop worrying. I'm scared that it's going to take a toll on this.

I am still bloated and have some sort of cramp/ ache in my stomach since ET.

Your scan is soon!!!! Can't wait to hear.

 

[Mamamirfy]

Oh! Baby is the size of a lime now!! She's getting big

 

[pink32]

yeh mine were about to hatch, i just wanted to see if that happened with yours too....they didnt tell me what grade mine was - wouldnt have a clue!

wow that is expensive hey! we never take our BMW to a BM dealer they rip you off severly...we go to a mechanic who only does prestige cars but dont pay anywhere near BMW....

try not to worry, but i know that's easier said then done...it's like when DH was getting on my nerves and then i was kicking myself for getting so worked up and stressed...i'm really trying not to let things get to me - TRYING being the operative word

yes scan soon, very nervous - always something to worry about! Good sign that ur still bloated too....my fs nurse told me that that's a really good sign before i got tested so fingers crossed you'll have ur little twinnies soon...

i really think both will stick...just have that feeling

 

[Mamamirfy]

Thank Hun! I'm trying to not stress....trying. I'm going to look into a mechanic that does BMW's from now on cause this is a major rip off.

Def still bloated, I look a few months along.

Off to try and relax with a candle and spa music.... Would kill for a hot bath.

 

[MySillyGirls]

Miranda, I know how stressful this financing issue can be. Definitely try to pamper yourself a bit right now, though. As for me, my job makes me feel sick to my stomach 90% of the time...it is so stressful, especially this time of year because we are trying to move clients to 2011.

 

[Mamamirfy]

You know what's crazy? I try to follow the Law of Attraction as best I can....I was so stressed about money and but still kept trying to use positive thinking. Anyway, I opened up my bills today and half of them had credits on them and weren't due! So, I got a free month on two of my utilities. On Sunday I went through Starbucks (I saw this happened to you too Lesley) and this person ahead of me paid for my order. I was soooo happy and excited. I paid for the person behind me to try and keep it going. Totally made my whole day. I love random acts of kindness.

Also....I broke down....I took a test. It was beyond the faintest line..I mean I was squinting and rotating in the light but I saw something. I will take another tomorrow to see if it got any darker or to see if it's gone. This could still be the HCG trigger shot in my system...do you think? Told ya I wouldn't be able to last LOL
