Clomid round 3 anyone else?

[cntrygrl]

Star-- It's horrible what we do to ourselves every month. Good Luck to you. When is your next appointment with the doctor?

AFM-- Had an emotional breakdown yesterday with the freedom fertility pharmacy and my insurance co. My insurance co. needs a preauth which I had told the pharmacy that from the get go. SO I get a phone call yesterday from the pharmacy telling me so. I told the lady "I told you this when I placed the order" I call my insurance co. and they tell me it will take 3-4 business days to get a preauth. So at this point I am feeling hopeless cause that means it likely wouldn't be here in time if I needed it Wednesday. I called the pharmacy back up and they were wonderful people they are still shipping my shot and pushing my preauth through to the insurance co. ASAP. It will be here today. I have also called my dr's office asking if my IUI will need a preauth also this way they can get that ball rolling as well.

Thank you cntrygrl, I havent got another appointment yet, just was told to take the Clomid for 6 cycles and then if it doesnt work I suppose I'll have to make an appointment with my fertility specialist,I'm not sure whats next, maybe iui or ivf, not sure how many rounds of ivf were entitled to where I live, some places it's 3 cycles, others it can be 1 ,no doubt my area will be 1 ! Will have to do some saving just in case! Hoping it doesnt get to that point but just have a feeling the Clomid isn't going to workft

Sorry you had hassle yesterday, as if everything wasn't stressful enough you dont need to deal with that. When do you think you will be doing the iui? X

Cntrygrl- Thanks for the tip about the preseed! We will definitely use a small amount lol Also, sorry to hear about your break down yesterday... I would have too though because that whole situation about the preauth sounds so frustrating! But I am glad the pharmacy is being helpful and trying to speed things along for you. And I am wishing you lots and lots of luck for your trigger shot and scan on Wednesday!! I am super excited for you Keep us posted on everything!

Star- I am the same way!! Usually when my AF first arrives I am totally fine but usually on cd 3 I have a little melt down and pity party for myself. I think it is necessary though so that we don't keep all those deep feelings of sadness and frustration built up inside us. And funny I do the same thing reading success stories then my faith is restored lol Good luck with the Clomid again!! Before you know it you will be in the TWW again Are you using OPKs this round? I can't remember why you said you weren't using OPKs in previous cycles. Just curious how you know when you ovulate?

ADR- Are you waiting until after your doctor appointment to start trying again? What was your dosage of Clomid when you got your BFP? Well I am sending you a lot of babydust and hope you see your BFP soon!!!

Dannixo- How are you doing/feeling? Any symptoms yet? How many dpo are you? I've still got my fingers crossed for you hun

 

[star25]

Hi, I won't use opks, as didnt realise they dont actually confirm ovulation I think it could be pointless and just panic me more! I'll just keep bd'ing every other day roughly but this time I'll do it for longer in case ovulate late
ive got an engagement party to go to Tomoro afternoon, went for a long walk on the beach with dogs with my sil today which was nice and then went shopping with her for a new dress for tomoro, so what with work and the party I'm trying alto keep busy so time will fly!
there was something we can buy here like pressed but it was called conceive plus but when I looked for it today they only had something called fertility spray, didnt look at it too much as everyone knows everyone here so I'm going to have a look on amazon and might get that for this cycle, I did see on the box it helps motility but will probably be cheaper online anyway

anyway ive rambled on enough today, sorry!

Dannixo - I'm waiting to hear some good symptoms for you too! X

I am 7dpo today. Went in for my cd21 progesteone test today. Will have the results tomorrow. Been testing out the trigger shot and it was still positive yesterday. The only symptoms I've had are slight sore boobs, fatique and cramps. Could be due to the noverall.

 

[cntrygrl]

Star-- I think the IUI will be friday maybe. Just hoping I have some good sized follies.

Noele-- You're Welcome with the preseed. We used a little too much one time and we were both like "Yeah this isn't working". Thank you for all the good luck wishes.

Danni-- Hopefully next week goes by quickly for you and that positive line gets darker or you get a new one

 

[Noele0002]

Star- It definitely looks like you are keeping busy Have fun at that party tomorrow!

Dannixo- I am so anxious for this week to fly by for you!! *Babydust*

Hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

 

[ADR10]

Happy Friday Everyone!

Noele - Yes I have to wait until I see my Dr to start taking clomid again because my perscription has run out. I took 50mg for the first cycle and then 100mg for cycles 2,3 and 4. 100mg was keeping my pergesterone levels around 30-60 each month.

Star25 - The Dr never told me how many rounds i would be allowed to take. Im guessing she will tell me more on the 27th when i go to see her next. I think im ok with starting again after being off of it for over a month... my body needed a break from it. So i dont know how many round ill be able to take once i am back on it.

Babydust to Everyone!!!

 

[star25]

you Hi how is everyone today?

I'm on CD5 so 2 more days of Clomid, the hot flushes started last night so didnt get a lot of sleep and was awake at 5 am, I'm sure it gives me insomnia too

I've been looking on amazon and going to buy some conceive plus, like preseed, was going to get some opks too though coz dont want to be using the conceive plus everytime we bd as im getting one with 8 applicators as they look easier to use than a tube

Can you very knowledgeable ladies explain how you use your opks, I'm useless and getting stressed thinking about using them! I keep thinking I won't believe them and might miss good bd days, I'll see how they go this month but need your expertise!
X

 

[Noele0002]

Star- For the most part Opks are pretty accurate so they should help you more than confuse you!! I start using them on cd 10. I continue to use them until cd 20 (I usually ovulate before then but if you ovulate later than keep using them). I also use second morning urine but I make sure there is a 3 hour wait between morning bathroom breaks. Sometimes I forget and will use them in the evening (I just make sure I haven't went pee in a few hours). I also recommend using the digital Clearblue smiley face OPKs. They are more spendy but I've been using them for almost a year now and I really like them. I think using non-digital OPKs might be more confusing because then you have to guess (reading the lines) when you get a positive. It's all your own preference though. And about your concern of not trusting OPKs and missing the right days to bd. Once you have an idea of what day you ovulate then every month you can plan on bd'ing around that day and just use OPKs to confirm the day you 'think' you ovulated. My doctor recommends a 10-12 stretch of bd'ing every other day. For me, I know I ovulate between cd 14-19 (while on meds) & between cd 16-19 (without meds) so I usually start bd'ing around cd 10 or 12 and try to bd every other or every day until cd 22.

Hope this was helpful!! Lol sorry its a lot. I hope you like the OPKs. They really are very helpful. I admit once in awhile they can be confusing but so can everything else. Good luck

Happy Monday ladies!! Hope everyone had a good weekend!!

 

[cntrygrl]

Happy Monday everyone

Danni-- Did they give you your trigger shot in your butt or thigh?

Star-- I would go with something digital for just starting out that way you don't get confused.

AFM-- My temp is in it's downhill phase so gearing up to O. I'm thinking I'll probably get my trigger shot when I go on wednesday and the IUI will probably be thursday.

 

[star25]

Thats good news cntrygrl, really have everything crossed for you

Noele - thank you for the advice and cntrygrl, ive already ordered the conceive plus, 30 opks but they are just the cheap line ones so I'll probs be posting pics for your advice and 15 hpts as they were only £2.69 lol
I dont want to spend too much but I'll see how I get on with the cheaper ones for now x

My thigh muscle and it hurt like hell for two days after

 

[Dannixo]

I took a test this morning at 10piui and 11 11 days past noverall shot and I thought I saw a very light shadow of a line which I've had positives all week assuming from the trigger shot and then it appeard to get very light not never go away. I waited 4 mins and still just saw what I thought was a shadow. Go back to bed get up 3 hours later and it's looks like a bfp. Could just be an evap. What do you ladies think? My boobs have been super sore for 4 days now.

 

[cntrygrl]

Danni-- I definitely see a line test again tomorrow morning it should be a little darker. Then I'd call the doctor to get some bloodwork done to see where your levels are at. So excited for you I hope this is it

 

[star25]

I see it too and I'm only on my phone so cant get a bigger look but I deffo see it! hope this is it for u xx

 

[Noele0002]

Dannixo- That definitely looks like a BFP. I hope you plan on testing this morning again!!! Really hoping this is it for you Keep us posted!

Cntrygrl- I am really excited for you to have your first IUI!!! Hoping all goes as planned for you and sending you lots of babydust!!!

AFM- cd 17 so should be ovulating soon!! No positive opk yet but DH and I have been bd'ing a lot so hopefully we dont miss that egg this month!!

 

[Dannixo]

I tested this morning. It was negative.

 

[star25]

Could be too early dannixo, there seems to be a lot of people on here who get bfns before there bfp, ive seen some that have bfn in the morning and bfp the same evening, still hoping for you? X

 

[Noele0002]

Dannixo- I agree with star it could be too early! Especially if you are only 11dpIUI. Don't lose hope!! Wait another couple days and test again.
