Clomid round 3 anyone else?

[Noele0002]

Dannixo- 300$ is a lot but not nearly as bad as I thought... I was thinking/guessing it would cost around 1000$+ but every hospital and state is different.

Star- We are considering it but my obgyn said we didn't need it and he didn't think it would be beneficial for us compared to the cost. I'm not sure... I guess I am just going to pray that one of these coming cycles with the trigger shot will be enough lol

Cntrygrl- I definitely think I would feel beeter with a specialist but it's the cost that freaks me out. Everything has to be paid up front from what I hear. At least with my obgyn everything (except meds) are just billed to me and I can pay them off at a comfortable pace. But IUI is definitely cheaper than IVF so maybe I could at least afford that with a specialist... I still want to give the trigger shot a chance with my obgyn. Now that I know I may not have been ovulatsting every cycle due to PCOS I am really hoping the trigger shot will help with that!

Noele-- I think it depends on the Specialist or where you go to. I would look up the local fertility clinics in your area. A lot of places have payment plans and things like that. My clinic had even told me about an IVF trial they were doing that I would pay $400 and everything else was free. The trial was where they froze you embryo's and then put them back in at a later date. They wanted more practice with it since they were mainly a fresh cycle transfer clinic.

Thanks Cntrygrl! I guess I still have a lot of research to do but I have searched most well known clinics in my state and most say on their websites that payment is due in full prior to appointment but I still want to actually talk to clinics and see what their payment options are. Do all fertility clinics require a referral before having a consultation? I want to keep working with my obgyn but I also want to get on a waiting list to see s specialist since I know sometimes there is quite a wait.

 

[cntrygrl]

I actually don't know about the referral. My doctor after the 6 rounds of Clomid and 3 failed IUI's basically said we needed to see a specialist.

 

[Dannixo]

I also didn't need a referral

Does Clomid make you guys super emotional or is it just me? Had a huge breakdown yesterday... my eyes are still swollen... I dont think I can do this anymore.. Im gonna have to move on to other methods or back to natural...

 

[cntrygrl]

The only time I was emotional was the short time they had me on BCP so I could have my hysteroscopy/polypectomy done. I think it reacts with everyone differently though.

 

[Noele0002]

For me it's just the whole process of infertility and ttc that makes me emotional. Sometimes I get emotional on meds and sometimes not. Sometimes I get emotional on natural cycles and sometimes not. Every person is different and reacts different to meds. Sorry to hear you are having a hard time and I hope things get better for you!

 

[star25]

It made me a bit emotional at times but not too bad, more like
get angry or upset about things that normally wouldnt bother me

I'm CD13 so still not alot going on, I am looking forward to my appointment but it had been postponed for a week to the 7th April now

For some good news for once though we have sold our house and on the same day had an offer accepted on a new house, its an older house so bigger with alot of character, it's 400yards to the beach and backs on to a big park and playground, all I need now is some babies to fill it!
It's been nice to have a good distraction and take my mind off ttc for a bit
im not even trying this cycle, I got straight up the last 2 days we have dtd and didnt even know what CD I was on til I worked it out!

How is everyone else?

 

[cntrygrl]

Yay for selling your house and the offer accepted on the new house. The new house sounds wonderful. I can't wait to see pics of it.

 

[Noele0002]

Star- That's great news about the houses Glad you have been busy and not stressing over ttc stuff. We all need those breaks once in awhile!

 

[star25]

Thank you ladies
The buyers want to exchange contracts in 4-6 weeks so could be moving soon, it does need work but I'm looking forward to the distraction, we saw financial adviser again today to apply for the extra on our mortgage so we've got some money to do the work
How are things with everyone else?

as suspected, took a test this morning (CD13) BFN :/ I expected it already so Im not as bummed as I normally get... I'll be moving on to Gonal-F next cycle..

 

[cntrygrl]

Halei-- Sorry to hear about your BFN. I think you mean 13DPO though. CD is cycle day so if you're CD13 you may not have even ovulated yet. It's also still early.

Yep, you're right! hehe 13dpo today... it's ok, Im not feeling that down surprisingly... I think I'm getting used to the BFNs unfortunately..

You have only been trying for 3 medicated cycles it looks like so don't give up hope yet. I've been with a fertility specialist for a year and a half now and nothing ever..

Your age don't mean anything as long as you have plenty of good quality eggs. Has your doctor mentioned your eggs?

I asked about my reserve but she says I should be ok although I don't think she ever checked... But she also said that me having lots of follies each month -- I have an average of 15 on each ovary but only 1 fully matures normally, so I'm borderline polycystic --is a good sign... according to her I have tons of eggs... it's just strange that this is not happening... I just have this bad feeling in my gut...
