Clomid round 3 anyone else?

[star25]

I done 3 rounds of 50mg over a year ago but that was just from my GP, then referred to specialist and after all the testing for us both and lap he put me on clomid for 6 months at 100mg each time, first cycle was monitored so know I can ovulate on it and the next 5 unmonitored. This is round 3 of 100mg and I have to pick up my next 3 months thursday, so I'll have to wait until finished all 6 rounds of clomid until moving onto something else unless go private but for now have my trust in the NHS! x

Noele- Sorry AF got you but you do sound optimistic about it so that you can DH can find out what's causing you not to conceive. I just know something will work out for you. I know the other ladies did a good job at explaining the ultra sounds but I'll add my 2cents in too lol. I just had that one last month. The transvaginal they usually do 2nd if you are having a topical one (external with wand on stomach). Anyways, they usually do the external one first because you have a full bladder. Next they let you go tinkle and then they insert the wand. I dont know how your tech will do it but they handed me the wand under a sheet and let me insert it easily and the way it felt comfortable then they grabbed the end and performed the test. It did not hurt at all and I had a good size cyst on my ovaries too. I felt a little pressure but it wasn't really uncomfortable at all.

Star- have you tested again?

Cntry grl- how are you doing today? How many DPO are you?

Nurse Star- I see you just ovulated over the weekend? I am thinking me too.

AFM, I am on CD17. I didn't use OPK's this cycle so not sure if I ovualted or not. I haven't had any cervial mucous like I normally would off of clomid. I have not really felt my ovaries do anything but I am thinking based off the last several cycles that I should ovulate in the next day or two actually. I guess we shall see. I did bd with DH on thurs & Saturday. He was gone out on Friday night and I was too tired and mad to bd lol. We missed yesterday because we rode the motorcycle but I plan to do it tonight just in case I haven't missed yet. I usually O on my own later anyways. I think the clomid pushed it forward. Nothing else to report other than I am feeling sick from being out in the crazy Alaska weather over the weekend and I guess waiting to get into the tww AGAIN~

Hi I'm not testing again, cant cope with it lol, I'm sure af will turn up in the next day or 2, did u take Clomid this cycle tundralife? Sorry get mixed up sometimes xx

no sweetie. I actually had to pass on this cycle with the clomid because I had a cyst. My new doc was putting me back on the clomid. I had taken it 3 months with old doc. Got a new doc (yay) but I had already taken myself off one cycle because old doc never monitored or did bloods to ck me out and see if I was ovulating or anything. Why go through that if it didn't work because clomid makes me an insane woman. Anyways, new doc ordered me some clomid but then i did the ultra sound just to ck in there and she saw the cyst so she said not this cycle either. I have an appt on 5/28 to ck to make sure the cyst is gone but I will have already had another AF by then. So looks like I won't be able to take again until June. I did have the progesterone and it showed I ovulated last cycle with no help; so very thankful

I would be too excited too and end up testing lol.

Tundra-- Fxed that your cyst will go away and that your new dr. will get the ball rolling on some new treatment. Maybe even IUI.

To answer your question I am currently 15dpo and my temp is doing it's nose dive so shouldn't be long for AF to arrive.

 

[Noele0002]

Star- I read an article recently that said it is important to give Clomid a try for at least 5-6 months to give it its full chance to work. I guess a lot of women do get their BFPS by the 5 and 6 cycle!! I'm hoping you get your BFP sooner than later Any more signs of AF yet?

Tundralife- Thanks for sharing your experience with the ultrasound!! I not nearly as nervous as I was before. I'm just a big baby. I get nervous and uncomfortable when it comes to even just a pap smear. Lol Well I am wishing you a fast TWW and hopefully your cyst has gone away!!

 

[Noele0002]

AFM- Today is cycle day 3 and I go in at 6pm to get my ultrasound done!! Wish me luck that my lining is good/thick and no cysts!! I will update this evening

Hoping everyone is having a good start to their week!

 

[star25]

Good luck for the scan!

Still no af for me,was sure it would be yesterday but today have less signs! Xx

 

[star25]

Hi how did the scan go noele?

I love how my phone now remembers all your bnb names in my predictive txt! X

 

[Noele0002]

Good morning ladies! The scan went fine. It was a tech who did it and it was a female so that made it much better. She was nice but very quiet while she preformed the scan. I didn't know if it was appropriate to ask her about my results or if everything looked good and she told me when it was finished that my doctor would review the results today and get back to me. So now just impatiently waiting for a phone call.

On the plus side, we got DH's SA results back yesterday and they said everything was normal.

I really don't like not knowing... I laid awake in bed for half the night just thinking of worse case scenarios and what ifs. After TTC for two years and 1 year of testing its frustrating still not knowing what the problem is. So I'm praying my new doctor and this scan and our plan of action will pay off. I just want answers... (I know we all do) I truely wish none of us had to go through all of this!

Since I was laying wide a wake in bed for hours last night I kept busy with good old Google ;-) Just curious if any of you lived in the Boston area? I came across a forum and these women were saying that most of Boston insurance covers the cost of infertility and IVF. One lady said her insurance covered up to 6 IVF's... Just thought that seemed crazy!

Anyways, I hope all of you are doing well! I will update as soon as I get my results. I was looking at the screen trying to read anything I could to see if I understood and I did see her type in .04 cm uterine lining... Is that about right for CD 3? Everything else I didn't understand.

Star- Any sign of AF yet?? I have my fingers and toes crossed for you hun!!

 

[star25]

Hi, I'm not sure about the lining, not very knowledgeable in that area
Glad it all went well though and great news on dh results!
Have you got anymore news on the scan?

So far af has stayed away, dh wants me to test again but I won't yet, will see what happens by the weekend if it hasn't arrived

Cntrygrl- has it stayed away for you?

Tundralife-sorry I couldn't remember you didnt do Clomid this cycle bit looks like you ovulate fine so hope you did this cycle too x

 

[Noele0002]

Star- I haven't heard anything yet, still waiting. But its only 11am my time so hopefully I hear back by the end of the day. As for you, I would wait until the weekend as well. Maybe even wait until the end of the weekend just to be safe. I think it would he even harder to see a BFN if AF is late. But then again if I were you'd I'd already would have been testing daily. Just be cautious because our bodies seem to have their own agenda!! I'm am sending you LOADS and LOADS of babydust

 

[tundralife2]

Noele- so glad your scan went okay and I'm sure your results will come back fine! We will be waiting to hear about it. Glad that DH's results came back normal. At least you know that is clear.

Star- FXD AF stays away from you.

cntrygrl- thanks for hte vote of confidence. I hope that it goes away too. I don't really feel it there like I could before.

AFM I am currently CD19 and not sure if I ovulated because #1 no OPK"s used this time and #2 I did not have the cervical mucous that i usually get. I am feeling a small something on my lower right side still but nothing like usual. Maybe this cycle is annovulatory? Who knows........grrrr ;-)

DH and I did BD last night but I am feeling out anyways because this cycle we ONLY bd on CD13, CD15 and again on CD19. I'm feeling more like it won't happen because of DH's not being interested in me. I swear I am giving off some kind of something that turns him away. I don't get it. I decided that if it doesn't happen by my 40th bday this august then I will get on BC so that it won't. That way I won't have to worry about it. I am trying not to be a grandma age by the time I have a kid.

 

[cntrygrl]

Star-- I took out the positive opk on my chart and I have dotted lines for CD18 so it moved me back to 13dpo. My boobs are less sore so I'm thinking AF will be here soon. Kind of figured there'd be no BFP this month with my body getting back to normal and not a whole lot of BDing going on.

 

[tundralife2]

cntry- why are you not bd'ing this month? bummed out? DH scared or worried aobut you?

 

[Dannixo]

Hi ladies, just am update. Went to see the fertility specialist today and he has recommend a lap and dye, hsg and chromotubation. I have to go in for a 12 hour fasting insulin blood work before hand. I'm scared but excited to get to the next steps in this journey. I have my cd 14 ultrasound tomorrow so I will update more then. We won't have the surgery until after this cycle.

 

[tundralife2]

what is chromotubation dannio? Glad you are getting some answers!

 

[cntrygrl]

cntry- why are you not bd'ing this month? bummed out? DH scared or worried aobut you?

He's been working a lot at his other job so when he gets home it's late. I've also been very quiet and kind of bummed. Seems to be a little worse this week with mother's day coming up.

 

[star25]

I was going to ask the same question tundralife about the chrom? I was the same as you before my lap, excited about getting some answers and was glad as it meant I didnt have to do any other tests as they done hsg and hysteroscopy at the same time

Sorry to hear you feel down cntrygrl,hope things change for you. X

Tundralife - I know how you feel, I only bd days 11,13,15 and 18 this cycle and 11 would have been too early anyway but everyone said those days were good so hopefully they will be for you too

Noele - any news? I won't be testing til sun or Monday morning if I dont get af, even if I dont get af I'm not feeling hopeful, was sure it would turn up Monday as I had lower back ache all day and full feeling like you get when af is about to start,had a couple of twinges early this morning so was dreading it starting today as im at work on the night shift now so that would have been awful!
Hope your results are all good x

It's where they use a light scope and inject dye into my tubes to see if there blocked.
