Clomid !!

[trying hard]

Oh Crystal thats terrible you poor thing, after waiting so long for your BFP too.

Big hugs coming your way.

I feel like AF is just around the corner and I'm only CD23, i guess i will need to up the dose of b vits or call the nurses for something else for next month or something????

 

[trying hard]

what are peoples thoughts on changing treatment plans without telling doc.? Our next appointment isn't for another 5 months but they don't know about the LPD I have only charted for the last two months since seeing them last and my progesterone levels at day 21 seem fine so they assume nothing is out of the ordinary (hence unexplained diagnosis) but my LP was 9 days last month and if AF comes in the next day or two as i expect it will it will be the same again this month. I was thinking of getting some progesterone cream from the chemist to help for next month because i don't want to waste the clomid I'm allowed (6 months worth) if LP wont even allow pregnancy and i don't want to waste another 5 months waiting for another appointment. Your thoughts would be appreciated. I am already on b6 too but will up the dose next month if i'm right about AF coming.

Hey Ladies,
I am joining your group I have been currently trying for two years. I have just had two rounds of clomid at 50 mg with 400 mg of progesterone 3 days after ovulation. I am also taking B6 and synthroid as well as amoxicillion at 500mg to help with the cm. I feel like a drugstore trying to keep things in order. My doctor just upped my clomid to 100mg for days 3-8 that I just started. Hoping that will do the trick this month. I am praying for babydust for all of us this month!!

hi Margret welcome to the group but sorry you have to be here at all. All the drugs do seem a little daunting sometimes huh but if if works who cares right




How are you feeling Crystal... My thoughts are with you

My prayers are with you Crystal .

Trying Hard I wanted to do the same thing . My Dr put me on clomid CD5-9 and I wanna switch my days and take some progesterone cream but Im not sure how to use the pills or even what switching the days of clomid will do .

Margaret, thanks for joining !! I just had my 50mg upped to 100mg . Why did you Dr put you CD3-8 ?!

so the different days do different things, earlier makes more folicals and later makes one better quality folical.

 

[Jordans_Mommy]

whoops, I am on clomid days 3-7 not days 3-8 - althg=ough sometimes I think I wouldn't mind the extra days help

Hey ladies! Just wanted you to know that I emailed the doctor about progesterone supplements. Yesterday they advised that they didn't want to start them yet, but I want them. Since it could ONLY bring a good outcome, then why not try it? No bad side effects, it can't harm the baby...

The way I see it... I implanted late... hence the spotting and the mild cramping can equate to implantation. It made it to a liner days 1-4 and then never again... And if that is the case, the numbers for HCG should be low. But since Monday they are FIVE TIMES greater! 27-134 - still lower end of the scale but if Fetal age is only 5 days... I'd expect it to be low!

Since I know prior to Clomid, I had a short luteal phase --- then I may of had a progesterone problem this whole time. Since they never tested me for that then why not try it and it may just save this baby?

I do not see any negative outcome unless I do not supplement. Because if this is the ONLY issue with this pregnancy now.... why not try it?

Sorry to ramble, I just really want this stuff! And she's probably going to call me vs. respond by email... so we shall see how that goes!

As for you all --- Jordans_Mommy.. thanks for asking about the days we take clomid. I knew that the earlier you took them the higher chance of multiples and that more eggs were released. I didn't know that later on there is a better quality egg released (thanks trying!)

Welcome Margaret! Hope you find the answers you are looking for here. I took Clomid CDs 2-6 and at 50mg. I'm pregnant now after the first cycle. But if you can't see by our posts... it's a little unsure if I will carry to term at the moment. Hoping you get your BFP!

I hope that you all get your BFP and that they are all sticky little beans! Baby Dust to you all!!!

And thanks for reading my ramble!! hehe

Crystal why dont you just try progesterone cream ? I read somewhere that some women use that up until their third month . It does make sense that you just implanted late . I understand your frustration and want you to know your in my thoughts .

So ladies Im thinking I wanna change the days I take clomid . Is that an insane NO NO ?!

 

[Crystal5483]

I say do what you think is best!! Where can I find the cream?

Welcome margret

Crystal my doc prescribes 400mg cyclogest progesterone from ovulation till Af an if no af you continue till week 12 of pregnancy.he reckons it helps with lp as well as sustaining pregnancy an as it's harmless pet I would give it a go you have got this far so anything that can help you get 2 12 weeks has be good everything crossed for you.xx

Trying hard you should deff go on progesterone for lp totally agree you don't want waste next few months.iv felt like I'm getting Af since 1 day after O totally campy but it still hasn't shown kinda think it's side effect of clomid

Jordans-mommy I done 5-9 clomid this month an if not pregnant I've 2 go to 2-9 next month so my doc saying it ok I guess it is an believe me I'm paying through nose for him.baby dust 2 us all girls

 

[trying hard]

Crystal you can get progesterone cream form the chemist without a prescription (aimed at menapausal woman) just make sure it is all natural and doesn't contain wild yam or herbs. But I say bully your doc into giving you the best stuff... your numbers are getting heaps better, I think your right and just a few days later than they think. Don't give up we are all thinking of you.


Well no AF yet which is great so I am now CD 24 and 10 DPO so I am doing better than last month but am still not feeling preggers.

Jordens mummy I say change it if you want to. Every doctors opinion is different anyway so what does it really matter and we only get a few tries at this treatment we may as well use it the best we can right.


Good luck all... where is everybody up to in their cycles now?

 

[Kazzababba]

I'm with you trying hard day 24 but I'm 2 days behind on O an totally feeling like Af coming any day tummy is so tender. You tempted 2 test?? You only need 2 get to 12 an your in the normal lp 12-14 is classed as normal anything under that is lpd fingers crossed you get there this month

 

[trying hard]

really tempted to test but it is still probably too early to see anything and I don't think I am anyway but we have my in-laws over on Monday for our Christmas party before people go away and I would love to know before then but even then it will only be 12dpo and still a couple days early.

So hoping for at least 12 days lp this month if not I'm upping b6 and buying some progesterone cream for our next time.

 

[Kazzababba]

I'll start testing wed if Af hasn't showed its ugly head. If you test early make sure it's a 25ml sensitive test 2 pick it up. Have everything crossed for you.an for myself get so frustrated this time of the month hope my lp is at least 12 days this month being taking 150mg b6 so hopefully..

 

[Margaret1]

Trying Hard, and Kazzababba I'm sending babydust your way, hopefully this is the month.
Jordan's Mommy congratulations on getting pregnant!
I am really hoping that this month with the doctor upping to 100 clomid and taking it days 2-7 instead of days 3-8 that this will be my luck month! This is only my 3rd cycle, but I thought that taking clomid would be the answer to getting me pregnant (been trying for almost 2 years- hopefully it works.

Jordans Mummy isn't pregges as far as i have heard (unless I have missed something?)

Good luck on the upped dose

My temp was still up today so chances are AF isn't coming today so thats my lp sorted

Thanks for the dust

Kazzababa you are so patient. I hate waiting

 

[Kazzababba]

Not patient trying hard just don't think I can cope seeing another negative test so I'm hoping next test I have 2 take will be a positive one Margaret I'm 2 years 2 but Im just trying stay positive. I know once I finally get my bfp all these months of stress an tears will be so worth it.. Any symptom spotting yet trying hard I'm looking for stuff that's not even there I've never felt more normal lol
