Clomid round 3 anyone else?

[Noele0002]

Star- I was doing a little reading and I think you are right about the B6. I will ask my doctor about it tomorrow. Thanks for everything

I know it can be hard letting go of a place that holds so many memories! I went through that when my great grandma's house sold. At least you will have all of the memories to keep close to your heart forever!

Sorry ladies Friday was busy then this weekend we went stroller shopping and I swear I got the last Urbini Omni 3 in 1 in the area. Welcome to all the new ladies.

Howarth-- I hope yours goes away in 8 weeks. At 8 weeks my ovaries were still the size of plums. It's extremely uncomfortable and make sure to be careful when bending or twisting. I pinched my ovaries a number of times it's not a pleasant experience.

Noele-- So sorry AF has arrived. Is there any way it could possibly be an implantation bleed?

As promised here is a pic of the baby. He/She was very cooperative for the ultrasound technician during the Nuchal Test and we got lots of pics.

 

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- It's full on AF no implantation bleeding. At first I was hoping that's what it was but it came full force last night. Anyways, OMG your ultrasound pic is sooooo cute So precious!!! Thanks for sharing!!

AFM- No CD 3 scan. But I am still going to take Femara 5mg days 3-7 and then going in for a CD 13 ultrasound to check follies! Getting the trigger shot that day if all looks good. Practically the same this as last month... Not sure what could possibly make a difference in getting our bfp this cycle... But I will give it another chance. I think if this cycle ends in bfn I want to take one cycle off just to clear my head then beg my doctor to let us give IUI a chance....

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- I would definitely give IUI a chance or find a new doctor that is willing to work with you. You've been trying meds, having timed intercourse, etc and it hasn't happened. It's time for the doctor to let you take the next step.

So cute cntrygrl the way little one looks like theyre waving! So pleased for you

At least you can carry on with another cycle without waiting noele, I still have every hope the femera and trigger shot will work for you, hope your feeling ok otherwise

Afm, CD33 and getting impatient for a letter through the door, thinking about I hope ive got it right and appointment is in 6 weeks, not just the letter within 6 weeks and a later date! Think I will go insane with all this waiting!

 

[Nanninoo]

Good luck with your third round...I also took clomid 50mg but on days 2-6 I got my bfp on my 3rd round after two cycles of bfn's i am currently 7 weeks pregnant! I also have a DS who is also a clomid baby who was concieved on my 2nd round of clomid 2 years ago x

 

[HowarthHopes]

And of course AF just showed 10 day luteal phase?? Gosh that seems really short... I am extremely bummed but I'm not going to give up. I guess I will be going in for a CD 3 scan to check for cysts... Praying I don't and can continue ttc with meds and trigger this cycle. But now I have to scrounge up 200$ for another trigger shot! Wish I had good insurance. I already owe almost 3000$ just from the freaking ultrasounds. I wish I could skip the cycle day 3 scan but I know that could be bad incase I had a cyst. I'm not going to count today as day 1 of new cycle yet.. because I am not sure if I will just be spotting today or if it will turn into full flow.

Anyways, thanks for all of your support ladies!! This was a terrible tww for me. I knew it would be. At least this next cycle I should be more relaxed.

I am so sorry that the dreaded AF showed up! My heart goes out to you. Have you had your thyroid checked out? I have always had an issue with my thyroid, and when DH and I did IUI and it failed, my FS ran some tests, and said my thyroid was out of wack again, and could be the cause of all the BFP's. So I went to see the Endocrinologist, and after she tweaked my meds I got my BFP a month, or one cycle later. Your thyroid has a major effect on hormones and fertility, and it really is worth checking out. If you cant get to an Endo, then a normal GP can run a blood test for your T3, TSH and T4 and Free T4.

Don't lose faith, us girls are rooting for you

Hello, I'm new here but am also on 3rd round of clomid 50mg. No luck so far. 1st round I didn't ovulate. Second round I got a faint line on the opk but the bbt never changed. Although I did miscarry Third round currently going through it and nothing so far. Just playing the waiting game. We have been trying to convince for 18 months... the clomid makes me extremely gassy and my nipples hurt like a mad man!!! My husband and I did the deed yesterday and I am on cd16 and I experienced spotting after. Twice once about an hour after the second time about 6 hours later. It was bright red but it wasn't a lot. Anyone else experience this?

Hi Amber! Welcome!
I have never had spotting after doing the BD, but I have heard of ladies that do - have you checked that you don't maybe have cysts? Not sure, maybe the other ladies can give you some advice....
Best of luck to you and DH for this cycle

OMG! What a stunning pic!!! How wonderful! You must be over the moon with excitement!! It looks like he or she is giving you a high five LOL!
I am feeling a lot better since yesterday! I am going for a check up with my FS/Gynae today, I know it is early, but because of my previous ectopic, I have to be seen to earlier than normal!

 

[star25]

Howarth I forgot to ask if u dont mind, what we're your symptoms and were they different to af symptoms?

 

[star25]

I just tested as got loads of cheapies and got an indent line, so depressing having a line without colour!

 

[cntrygrl]

Amber-- You may want to get checked for uterine polyps. Bleeding after dtd or physical activity is one of the symptoms or it could be something as simple as a tender cervix. Either way I would let the doctor know.

 

[Dannixo]

Well ladies I'm out. The arrived today. Calling the doctor on my lunch break to see what's next.

 

[HowarthHopes]

Hi Star,
This past month, I had absolutely no symptoms. Usually after I've O'd, I get sore achy BBS, headaches, even a day or two of nausea, a sore back and an achy body before my AF. But this month I had nothing, and my symptoms only started a couple of days after I found out I was pregnant (after AF was due). I did have extremely bad cramps a day or two after I O'd, but that was due to overstimulation from the Clomid. I hope this helps? Otherwise, how are you feeling Star?

CtryGrl,
May I ask when you had OHSS did you get pain sporadically or was it constant pain? The reason for me asking is I don't always feel pain in my ovaries, it is normally only when I sit for really long periods of time i.e. at work (but I have managed to combat that with taking a walk around the office every hour), and in the middle of the night, I'll wake up with really bad pains, normally a trip to the loo, and I heat up the wheatbag to help ease the pain, and then a couple of minutes later I'll fall asleep again. Do you think this is normal?? As I mentioned before I went for a check up yesterday, and my FS/Gynae didn't really seem too perturbed about it, so not sure?? I think it is just niggles of worry...

 

[star25]

Sorry the witch showed Danni, will u be doing treatment this cycle?

Howarth, thank you for sharing,I have my usual af symptoms sore boobs etc so know I am more than likely out ,hope you feel better soon

 

[cntrygrl]

Howarth-- I was on injectable meds so I had constant pain and was so bloated I looked 5 months pregnant. Clomid being a less stimulating drug I'd say your symptoms sound completely normal. You may even feel crampy and backachey the first couple of weeks. I know I did and was worried, but my fertility specialist assured me it was all normal.

 

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- I'm going to give Femara, trigger shot, and TI one or two more cycles then convince my doctor to let us do IUI. I really do think my doctor would go for it. He just said that he didn't think we would need it because DH swimmers are ok and he said it doesn't increase your chances that much and when you compared the costs he said it wasn't worth it. But I don't think he is against it or anything. Since we've only done 1 round with trigger I want to give it another chance. Being a LTTTC'er it would be naive to think it would work on the first try. I'm going to remain as hopeful as I can. I'm considering taking the summer off from ttc again (I did that last summer and it was amazing). DH really took it hard this cycle when he found out AF showed. I've never seen him react that way before he got very quiet and locked himself in the bathroom. I'm assuming he was crying and that is so unlike him. I felt horrible. So maybe a break this summer could be the best thing.

Star- Sorry to hear about that stupid indent line... Did you test again just in case? Do you have your pre af symptoms or feel af coming on?

Dannixo- So sorry to hear AF showed. Will you be going in for a day 3 scan?

Howarthhopes- I've had my thyroid checked twice and all is fine. I think my issue is just the PCOS... I'm think there is a big possibility that I didn't always ovulate when I thought I was. The first 1 1/2 years of ttc I never did bbt charting and only used opks. Well I've found out I tend to get a lot of false positive opks due to PCOS. I used to think that meant I ovulated but it doesn't. So who knows.

AFM- CD 4 and currently taking my Femara 5mg. I'm a little worried about cysts since we didn't do a CD 3 scan especially since I had that large follie of 27mm. But I'm relieved that we are not doing another ultrasound on day 3 because I am saving 500$ especially since I have to fork over 280$ for my hCG trigger shot last time I bought it it only costed 220$ but they raised the price... Urgh this scare me that I can hardly afford treatment with my obgyn how will I EVER afford treatment with a specialist. We are going to have to take YEARS of savings... Yikes wish this was more affordable for everyone!

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- Who do you get your meds through? I had used freedom fertility unil my insurance required me to use their pharmacy. You may want to look into prices with them if you aren't already using them. I don't know how your doctor can say IUI doesn't improve your chances more. It puts a higher number of sperm right where they should be. There's no getting lost in the many cervix tunnels etc. My DH had great numbers also except for this last time and it still worked.

 

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- I have never heard of freedom fertility. I will look into it though. Does your doctor send the prescription to freedom fertility? About what my doctor said for IUI... He said it does increase your chances but not by much and I've read that online before too. I think he wanted to give trigger and TI a try so we didn't have to spend money on IUI since it doesn't increase our chances significantly like IVF would.
