Clomid Virgin....Team Destined 4 Success!

[SevierTTC]

Rowan I am sorry that your going through all of this stress, I hope

that the next few weeks brings happiness to us all & the bad times NOT

forgotten but less memorable.

Tititimes2: I take my Clomid last month 50mg days 5-9, my day 24

progesterone was 13.1, but my doctor likes them over 15 with meds. We

didnt do a follicle scan last month it was my first round. I never got a

positive OPK test I tested days 11-16, I should of tested longer & the tests I

bought that time had the lines & were confuseing to me. My husband & I

went ahead and BD starting on day 12 EOD until Day 19 BUT still got a

BFN.


So this month is Clomid Still 50mg days 3-9, day 13 Follicle scan, day 24

progeterone & I bought the same OPK tests you have a 20 day supply on

Amazon for $25 including s/h.

I am assuming that if my follicles arent OK they will tell us not to BD that

month? Not to sure what to expect does the Dr. do the scan or just the

ultrasound person? Sometimes I feel like everyone is so busy I cant ask the

questions I would like to know. I work on a maternity floor so once in awhile I

will ask 1 of the many Dr.s I see BUT my OB doesnt like me doing that.

Well sending hopes & Dust

servierttc - My FS does bloodwork and an ultrasound each time I go in as they monitor the cycle to check hormone levels and what is going on as far as follicle growth and the lining until ovulation. At my visit next week, they will just do a blood test to confirm ovulation and check out my progesterone level. My FS's office is a practice with more than 8 REs, plus nurses, nurse coordinators, nurse practitioners, etc. There are separate technicians that do the ultrasounds and they tell you as they are doing what they are seeing exactly so you know even before you sit with the doctor (e.g. lining size, # follicles and the sizes). We almost always sit with the doctor afterwards. They monitored me quite a few times this cyle.

As far as follicle size, my understanding is that they monitor you to make sure you aren't making too many. I am doing timed intercourse with the Clomid but many women do Clomid and IUI and the chances of multiples is why in addition to finding out if the Clomid is working to help make mature follicles. I know they will sometimes cancle an IUI if they see too many follicles b/c multiple pregnancies are more dangerous and I think most FSs won't do IUI if you have too many - though I think each FS has their own protocol for what is "too many". Since, I am not doing IUI, my FS was ok with me BD with four mature follies but I'm older so the chances of me getting PG with multiples is much lower than a much younger woman.

You have to ask questions! That is what they are being paid for. Write them down if you have to. Do not let them make you feel as if you can't ask what you need to!!! And if you doctor doesn't like you asking questions to someone else, he should make sure he answers your questions. If its is one thing I learned on this TTC journey, you have to become your own advocate.

So sorry bean. I know it's hard to see that BFN. Hang in there though. I know you have to feel what you need to feel- sadness, disappointment- but then I think it's better to try (as hard as it is) move on and try again. And you do it for the same reason all of us are doing it too despite all the disappointment - to be a mom with a beautiful bundle of joy someday. That is a pretty great reason to keep moving forward hon- Thinking about you-

Sorry Beanwood, its so dissapointing when it comes. Everytime I lost a baby I couldnt wait for them to come so we could try again. Now its like a curse for real when it shows its ugly head. Big hugs to u.

HELLO LADIES

I am on day 9 now of a 28-30 day cycle. Was wondering when everyone else

started there OPK tests. I started on day 11 last month & only went to day

16, I dont think I tested as long as I needed to last month because I never

got a + OPK. Oh Im also on 50mg of Clomid days 3-9.

Thanks ladies

Defo give it a go even if ovulation later then expected - good luck

 

[I want one]

Sevier - I would test day 12 - 19 xx

I tested today what was that about!!! Then wondered why i got a BFN! .......Might be because my bestfriend had a little boy this morning bless her he's gorgeous!

 

[Beanwood]

Hi all

How is everyone doing.

Servier - I did not use opks last month as found that I don't get on with them.
Not sure about this month - I don't know what to do. XX

Hi everybody else hope that you are all ok. XX

 

[hopefulchick]

Sevier- I would start around CD 11 and continue till you get a positive. I know it sounds like a lot. This cycle I didn't get a positive until CD19!! Maybe you can buy those internet cheapies. That's what I did because I noticed that the day I ovulate keeps getting later and later ever since I stopped the Clomid. Are you getting a second line at all?

I Want One- Probably still too early....fingers crossed for you

 

[SevierTTC]

Thanks Ladies

I will start checking on Wednesday cycle day 11 & just keep it up. I Bought

the clearblue digital OPK on amazon it was 20 tests for $25 that included

S/H. I will let you all know how my Follicle scan goes on Friday.

Im hopeing for some good lookin Follicles. Sometimes it makes me

a little nervous about how many I have because I have so many factors.

Im a faternal twin, 36 years old & taking clomid. I wont complain if I

end up with more than one (not with all we have been through) BUT just 1

would be great. Hope everyone is doing great this week.

Talk to you all soon
