Clomid round 3 anyone else?

[Bombergirlttc]

Bombergirl-- It is one of the side effects of taking Clomid. You should try using some preseed.

Danni-- Good Luck with the scan on Thursday!

ADR & Star-- Hoping you keep that away!

I have heard of it - does it have another name? I live in Australia and haven't seen it on the shelves before...

 

[cntrygrl]

Bombergirl-- It could there's a few of them out there, but it's a TTC safe lubricant. Doesn't harm sperm and acts as natural EWCM.

Bomber, the first couple of rounds I was ok, next few cm wasnt good so used conceive plus from amazon, this cycle ran out but cm is better so think it can vary

 

[Noele0002]

Bomber- Yes I really do think bbt charting would be very helpful for you. As far as the opks go, have you ever tried the digital opks? Those are the only kind I use and I love them because then I do not have to guesstimate when the line is dark enough. And for the cm question... Yes. Unfortunately that is a side effect of Clomid. I also use Preseed a sperm friendly lubricant. I've heard of women taking cough medicine regularly to increase cm. Might be worth a try.

Dannixo- So sorry AF officially arrived. Good luck with you scan tomorrow.

Star & Adr- I've still got my fingers crossed for both of you ladies.

AFM- Nothing... Just waiting to ovulate... Should be any day hopefully but this cycle I am going to try to bd throughout the whole cycle every few days just to he sure because I think I ovulated really late last cycle around CD 23 or 24 so I just want to make sure to cover my bases this cycle.

The week is half over thank goodness I am ready for the weekend.

Hi Everyone,

Today iv had some more brown blood cm come out (sorry for the TMI) but nothing major... dont even need a liner because it only happens when i go pee and wipe. Im cramping on my left side so I have a feeling AF is about to arrive... still i will cross my fingers!

Bombergirl - I have heard preseed works really well. I beleive you can buy it at walmart.

Hope you ladies are all doing well

 

[star25]

Same here, no Change,no cramps and boobs dont hurt that much, staying positive for us both this cycle

Noele- sounds like a good plan,I ovulated late 1 cycle so it's best to keep going as long as you can, I hope I done enough this month - 12,13,14,16,18,20 was aiming for everyday but I got a bit lazy !

 

[Dannixo]

Thank you ladies! And good luck to you all as well and welcome bombergirl.

AFM: Called the doctor yesterday to see anout trying something new like injections and they called me back today and said they dont really do that anymore so they have decided to refer me to a fertility specialist, so the appointment is September 25th. I might still go to the clinic I called about set for October 1st as well. Two opinions never hurt. Cd 3 ultrasound tomorrow and more than likely going to do one more month of clomid/IUI before heading off to something better. Looking forward to trying injections and IVF hopefully.

 

[star25]

That all sounds good Danni, Im looking forward to trying something different too so I can have more hope of something working
Having on and off period pain now so more than likely out, will have to phone hospital for another appointment

 

[Napua17]

I did one cycle of clomid, and it caused a large (12cm cyst) to balloon to over 30 cm. I lost that ovary and tube when they removed the tumor. Im too afraid to try clomid again.

 

[ADR10]

Hi Everyone,

So AF arrived this morning... so on to another round of clomid!!! I have to go pick up some today or tomorrow.

Have a good thursday everyone

 

[Noele0002]

Adr- Is it normal for you to spot before AF arrives or this this something new? Well I am hoping this is a good sign for you.

Star- Looks like you dtd at all the right times!

Dannixo- I think two opinions are better than one! If I were you I would keep both appointments.

 

[Noele0002]

Napua- Sorry to hear that happened to you. I would be scared to take Clomid again also. Are you seeing a specialist? Maybe Letrozole/Femara would be a less harsh for you...

 

[Noele0002]

Adr- Sorry to hear AF showed I didn't see your post until after I posted that last one.

 

[ADR10]

Adr- Sorry to hear AF showed I didn't see your post until after I posted that last one.

Its ok. But to answer your question, i never spot before my AF arrives so i thought it was a good sign this time. This is the first cycle iv used clomid since my miscarrage so maybe my body is still getting back to normal.

How are you doing?

 

[Noele0002]

Adr- I'm sure your right and your body is adjusting again. My very first round of Clomid I started spotting a few days before AF and I've never spotted before. Our bodies can be so confusing especially when we throw Clomid in the mix.

I am doing pretty good though. Thinking I ovulated yesterday because my ovaries and that general area felt very sore and tender plus I was bloated all day yesterday. Now the TWW 'again' lol not sure how many times I've said that before. But these next few cycles are going to be pretty relaxed for me. No obsessing or opks. No meds either My body needs a break. I am down about 12-13 lbs since May so I am going to keep focusing my attention on getting to a healthy weight. Only 9.5 lbs to go until I am no longer considered overweight according to my bmi. Sorry for rambling lol

Again I am so sorry to hear AF showed for you! Hoping the second round works for you How many rounds of Clomid did you do before getting your BFP?

 

[star25]

Hi

Sorry af came ADR, I felt positive for you, ill be sending you lots of babydust for your next cycle

Noele - That's good news about the ovulation, hope the 2WW doesn't go too slow for you, well done too on the weight loss, you have more will power than me, I could do with losing a few pounds!

Im still feeling the same today, boobs aren't that sore, a couple of twinges like af pain but nothing major, i'm trying to stay hopeful but at the same time feeling out, only time will tell as per usual in TTC!

 

[Noele0002]

Star- Thanks! It's been hard but I'm feeling very determined What cycle day are you on now?

 

[ADR10]

Hi,

Noele - Thats awesome that you are so close to your goal!!! i ended up gaining some weight back after my miscarrage but i think its time i start the gym again as well

It took me 4 cycles to get pregnant last time... really dont want to go through 4 cycles again... hoping next cycle works!

Star25 - Im sending you babydust and happy vibes! hopefully AF stays away for you this time

 

[star25]

Star- Thanks! It's been hard but I'm feeling very determined What cycle day are you on now?

I'm on CD29 and its dragging! Feels like im later than this, last 2 cycles have been 32 days but who knows when our bodies decide to change and do what they want to confuse us!

 

[Dannixo]

CAN I JUST GET A FUCKING BREAK! Ultrasound went horrible, I developed an ovarian cyst on my right overy, of course the good one. So now this cycle is cancelled and I have to see Dr. Chung Monday to figure out what needs to be done now. Hopefully it don't grow. WHY IS THIS SO FUCKING HARD. End of venting. Thanks for listening.
