Clomid round 3 anyone else?

[cntrygrl]

Thanks for the warning

 

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- I am so excited for you!! How did your first injections go?

Star- I am really sorry to hear about your loss! Try to keep your head up and stay strong!

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- It went well. I have a bruise from my first injection, but the second one didn't. Having hot flashes already also.

 

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- Glad it went well other than the hot flashes!

AFM- I had my appointment with my doctor this morning and am feeling extremely positive and hopeful after speaking with him!! So he did give me the diagnosis of PCOS. Which might be a good thing because now we have a plan of action and my doctor seemed very hopeful. As of today I am to start taking Metformin 500mg every day. I have two days left of the birth control pill and when AF shows I am going to take Letrozole again but this time he increased the dosage from 2.5mg to 5mg and instead of taking it from days 3-7, I will be taking it for 10 days so it will be from days 3-13. I am also going in on CD 12 to have an ultrasound to check the follicle size. As soon as I have a follicle size of 18mm or greater then he will be giving me an HCG trigger shot. It just feels really great to have a more aggressive plan of action!! We are feeling very hopeful but don't worry I am keeping myself guarded and not getting my hopes up too high.

Also, I just have to share this incredible story. The nurse who brought me and my DH in to the room also told us her ttc story. She said she tried to have a baby for 8 years before she finally got pregnant with the help of a fertility specialist. She had twins. She said they started ttc again shortly after having the twins and got pregnant with another set of twins NATURALLY about 6 months after she gave birth to her first set of twins. I found that story so inspiring!! That just goes to show that there is always a chance for us!! Not matter how doomed we feel at times. But seriously could you imagine 4 toddlers.... Holy moly!!

Noele--That is a great story. I hear about a lot of people getting pregnant naturally after having a hard time TTC #1. Glad you feel better about this new plan. FXed that everything works out and we have some BFP's here soon.

 

[Noele0002]

[Dannixo]

Star- How are you holding up? Hope you are doing alright!!

Dannixo & Adr- How are you ladies doing?

I'm okay. Didn't really try this month. Only had sex on day of + opk. Natural cycle so not much hope for us.

Mine stayed the same on every dose I was on. But I have very regular 28 day cycles and ovulated the same day every month.

 

[cntrygrl]

Dtd-- Sorry I'm no help. My clomid cycles were all the same dosage.

 

[doingthedeed]

Dannixo ye mine has always stayed the same b4 clomid then same on 50mg 28 cycle to and ov same days each month, this is first month on 100mg af was due today and nothing doesn't even feel like she's coming but trying not to get excited

 

[ADR10]

Dtd - i went from 50mg to 100mg and my cycles stayed the same at 32/33 days.

 

[Noele0002]

Dtd- Most of my cycles on meds were around 28-30 days with the exception of a few cycles ranging from 26-35 days.

AFM- Today was my last birth control pill Well I still have a week left of the 'sugar pill'. Anyone have experience with BCP? I'm wondering when I will expect AF to show? Yesterday I was spotting brown and bright red blood (sorry tmi) also A LOT of ewcm mixed in. Is it normal to spot when you haven't even finished taking all the pills? I haven't taken BCP since I was a teenager so I really don't remember how it all works. Also, does anyone know if it is normal to get lots of ewcm around your normal ovulation/fertile week because there was one week where I had more ewcm than I've had in the last 2.5 years ttc. Just thought it was so weird. Anyways, I am just anxious to start this coming cycle and I can't wait until AF arrives!! Lol I can't believe I just said that

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- I took my last pill last Tuesday and had started bleeding on Saturday.

AFM-- Ultrasound today showed 5-6 eggs on left and 3-4 right we'll see which ones grow.

 

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- I hope those eggs keep growing So what all are you doing this cycle? Meds and injectibles?

 

[Dannixo]

Awesome! You responded to injections way better than I did!

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- We are doing injectables and IUI. So far I get blood work and ultrasounds done every other day. I have another one Friday and Monday.

 

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- So when you do injectibles you skip the meds (Clomid/ femara)? Do they do about the same thing? Well anyways I am excited for you hoping the next week or so hurries up so you can be in your tww!!

My first two rounds on injections I did a combo cycle with femara. Didn't work do this round they wanted just a straight injectable cycle of 10 vials of menopur. It all depends on how each person responds.
