Clomid & male factor infertility

[Mamamirfy]

Just got my second beta for 17dpo. It went from 308 (14dpo) to 1393. I'm very happy...they like to see it double every 48 hours so it did more than that...alot more than that LOL. Maybe I really will get my twins?

 

[pink32]

thats great kelly!

really thats ur exact due date? wow...well if you were in oz you'd be giving birth in winter...i'm due middle of winter here... and congrats on your beta! Mine was like that it did more than double when i was getting my bloods...i hope your having twins because i know how much u want it...fx'd hunni!

ok so i had my scan mirf and everything was perfect! little bubba was moving around so much that the sonographer had troubles measuring.....baby was upside down, and wouldnt go in the right spot, it had its hands in its mouth it was soooooo cute....

i cant tell you how happy i am, how relieved i am that all is good....baby is measuring 12wks and 5 days and she said that my due date (as per the measurements should be 15 June rather than the 20th june)...i dont know how it works having done IVF because they know the exact date of conception because they know when they put the egg back in....anyways i guess my FS will tell me on monday.

the downsyndrome results came back low risk which is also great...they called me 5 mins after leaving and said that my risk was- 1 in 7500, they worry when its 1 in 300 or thereabouts! anyways all round was good....Sonographer was not as good as the one i had a couple of weeks ago and i had to ask for pics - i mean wouldnt she just give them to me? far out!

i brought my pics to work to post them, but i didnt bring my cord for my phone to transfer them..i have a 4d pic and normal...i'll post them as soon as i get home.....

how u feeling? ....

 

[pink32]

oh and nearly forgot baby is measuring 6.7cm! was 3.2cm only 2 wks ago!

 

[Mamamirfy]

Oh my gosh...that's amazing! I'm so happy for you. You must be so relieved and excited. Hands in mouth? So cute!! 1 in 7500 is great...very great. I can't wait to see pics

Yours more than doubled too? do you remember the numbers...I wonder if you posted on here, I'll go look.

I feel the same...waves of nausea and tired and HAPPY!

 

[pink32]

nah dont remember the numbers at all...sorry!

did i ask u when ur getting ur scan done? im pretty sure u shoulb get one done at 6wks, at least then we'll know how many are in there! i just feel there are 2!!!!!

 

[Mamamirfy]

I get my scan on Dec 22

 

[pink32]

not too long

 

[pink32]

helloooooo! where is everyone!

 

[Mamamirfy]

I'm here....not sure what Lesley is up to. Getting ready for the Holidays maybe?

I'm EXHAUSTED! I can't get over how tired I am and I'm not really doing much.

How are you feeling? Are you so thrilled to be out of the first trimester? Have you told anyone else?

 

[pink32]

hey, yeh i was really tired in the beginning too..i'm better now ( i have my days ofcourse) yes my husbands family now knows and i told my boss and some really close colleagues at work..its sooo good not having to hide it any more....

yes i'm glad first tri is nearly over!!!!

 

[MySillyGirls]

Miranda, looking forward to hearing about your scan!! Pink, yes, once the first tri was over, I felt great with my dd

Getting ready for Christmas and trying to close business this week at work. Really, I have this week and next week then all my clients will be out on vacation.

Well, I think i'll be starting back on the bcps this week. So, will probably then do lupron the last week of december and injectables starting right after xmas. yikes! Oh, Guess what?? My sister in law is pregnant AGAIN! This is the one that visited us with the 3 boys. She saw pregnant earlier this year but miscarried. She hasn't tried on any of them though. I am happy for them but wish a little of that fertility would rub off on me. Then, my other Sister in Law, and her husband, leave after christmas to meet their baby in Russia!! He is a blonde blue eyed cherub

 

[Mamamirfy]

You're going to be starting your injections before you know it This month will fly by. I'm so excited for you! Let's hope your SIL gets a girl this time.....a little girl to help with the army of boys she has. Never had to try and 4 babies...yowza. Fertile Myrtle.

Everyone must be so thrilled about the new addition arriving after Christmas....I can't remember if they have a boy or girl already?

What does the Lupron do?

I'm off to work...I didn't book anything until 9 because my mornings aren't so fun right now, then going to try and get the last little bits of my Christmas shopping done

 

[678star-bex]

hello ladies :wave: i was going to ask if i can join you as i saw this thread and thought i can ask questions etc! however i notice that u r all pregnant!! wow i cud really do with some success stories right now!

cogratulations brill news,

i have just been given 50mg clomid. i ov on my own but i ov at different times of the month so it will help regulate it and inrease chances by more eggs. DH has a high count but low motility. One SA said 1%!!!!! however he's worked hard and now 37% motility.

i am really hoping clomid will help us because its been so long.

Nice to meet u all.

 

[MySillyGirls]

Hi, 678-star! Ugh, I am the only one not preggo. Actually, each of us started out on clomid for male factor and each of us ended up moving to ivf after a failed IUI. Pink and Mirf got preggo after their first ivf. Mine failed and I am close to round 2. I am old though. LOLLLLLL!

 

[MySillyGirls]

Miranda, the baby from Russia is a baby boy. He is 13 mos old and passed all his medicals with flying colors. His name is currently Denis but I believe they will be changing his name to Jacob or something like that.

I bet you are feeling blech. Think, you could have TWO in there pumping out the HCG.

 

[MySillyGirls]

Oh, regarding Lupron, I have no clue. this is a change in my protocal but, interestingly, it is the same protocal a good friend of mine is on. She is 39 and her hcg retrieval is today! It is one week of lupron followed by follistim and repronex. I think it is called the Ganirelix protocal...

 

[Mamamirfy]

They changed it...that's great and I like that they changed it to something your friend is on - will she tell you how many eggs she got? It's nearly mid month already....you'll be starting in no time. I can't wait! Now this time, I know what you'll be doing..last time when you and Pink were going through it, it sounded like German to me. And Pssst...you're not OLD!

I would rename the little blue eyed cutie too....they must be thrilled to be bringing him home

My morning sickness seems to have levelled off a bit or maybe it was just me getting used to it? I'm mostly tired....just after lunch time is the worst. I'm loving every second of it!

 

[hootie]

My cousin's OH used Clomid for himself. He was on **I think** 25mg for 20 days then 10 off. Suppose to do it for 3 months but month 2 and they were pregnant!!! His counts were very low and the morph and motility were bad. They were told ICSI was the only option. If you google it you can find info on the men taking it for their counts etc

 

[Mamamirfy]

That's interesting....all 3 of us girls took it, but have sinced moved onto ICSI, 2 were successful and our third amigo will be successful with it this next time

 

[pink32]

hey girlies,

hope everyone had a great weekend...2 more weeks left of work then hol's yay! i cant wait..... have my FS appointment today and get transferred to an OB!

have a great day
