Clomid !!

[Crystal5483]

No, no clear yet. They won't give me clomid this cycle and if I got pregnant in January then all four of our birthdays would be within one month of another ... Not sure I want that... We'll see.

 

[Kazzababba]

Sorry trying hard hopefully this is your month, hopefully for us all. X

Well I've bein having worst Af ever,so painfull do you guys think it could be from clomid. Has anyone else had same??

One more question I took clomid days 5-9 last month on Ov on day 16.. On days 2-6 this month so do you's think I'll Ov on day 13??

Hope your ok crystal,next month will fly in 2 take your clomid,an who knows you might not need it

Jordans-mommy hope Af comes soon. It's funny we pray not 2 get Af one week an the next we are praying it comes lol

 

[Crystal5483]

We're still planning on all natural cycle this round. Despite not having the clomid, who knows it may work! This would potentially give me an EDD of 9.20 which is one week before my birthday and 16 days after my Mom's (RIP)

Kazza - I hope that things ease up for you soon enough. I am not sure if it's from the Clomid but it may very well be. Mine is obviously heavier but that is for other reasons. I know that I ovulated earlier on Clomid, and I took it 2-6.

jordans - It's so true - we can pray for two weeks to not get AF and then all of sudden it's ALL we want. Best of luck hun!

 

[Jordans_Mommy]

Ladies AF has arrived . She came yesterday and I started my clomid today so Ill be a 2-6 this month . Ive read lots studies done on clomid and when its taken and which days are best .

Crystal good luck with your natural cycle . If we get our miracle(s) my edd is Sep 22 which is a crazy birthday month for me as well .

Kazzababba sorry I really dont have an answer for you . My AF this month is really light ... super light ... so it could be from the clomid .

 

[trying hard]

Kazzababa, not sure about the painfull AF???? Mine was heavier than norm but not sore...Do you have PCOS? maybe thats the reason.

Crystal you probably still have some drugs left in your system from last month anyway so chances are still ok, they say the cycle after a mc you're ment to be super fertile so good luck. lots of birthdays together isn't a bad thing...That way you don't have to host lots of parties

Lots of luck for this round Jordan's mummy we all deserve a nice slightly late Christmas prezzy don't ya think

I've been on clomid on and off since the beginning of the summer. It doesn't make me ovulate, which is why my doctor keeps trying different things (annoying!).

Hopefully you ladies will have better luck than I have. A friend of mine got pregnant off clomid after her first month.

I just got my period today so I'm feeling kind of down. Boooo.

 

[Crystal5483]

Hi Lauren. Welcome!

I also got pregnant after my first month, but it resulted in a chemical. I'd almost prefer just regular AF to show vs. that! But at least I know it was possible for us.

Jordans_Mommy ... congrats on AF best of luck to you this cycle! May it be a blessed one!

trying hard ... I'm hoping that all the stuff about being super fertile etc is correct! What CD are you currently on?

AFM... I am going to see the fertility specialist today at 1:30 and hopefully he can give me some answers as to what I am to do next. It's insane ... this fertility game. I tested yesterday with an OPK and it was positive... so I guess there is still enough hcg in my system to keep it that way. Anyone have any idea as to how long it will take before it leaves? I know you cannot ovulate while it's still there. They'll probably take more blood work today, so I guess we shall wait and see!

Best of luck ladies... as always and of course... lots of !!

 

[trying hard]

hey Crystal, are you positive it was a mis-carrage? It is possible that perhaps you mc a twin or just had a bleed out which can happen without being a full MC... It is a little strange that you still have a positive HCG after so long... I have a friend who just thought she miscarried but is still cautiously pregnant after a week of bleeding and her numbers are still going up... look her journal up her name is dodgercpkal her journal is called PCOS a TTT journal. Im sorry if I'm getting your hopes again for nothing but a positive HCG is just strange! I'm sure your bloods will tell you what you need to know.

Lauren.
Welcome to the group, sorry the clomid hasn't worked for you... what dose did they put you on if you don't mind me being nosey and what else have they tried?


I am currently CD7 so all my pill are done with but still having lots of hot flushes. It makes it so hard to sleep with them as it is summer here and pretty warm at night.

 

[Jordans_Mommy]

Welcome Lauren !!

Ladies I feel like I have no hope for the clomid to work, my first cycle I was so excited and now its like umph okay gotta take my clomid . I just dont wanna get to excited for it to not work . Im not even having any side effects (achy boobs but Im also on my cycle) . Its CD3 for me and I only have two ore pills left . I also dont wanna rely on my OPK because last month it detected my surge but clearly I didnt ovulate my progesterone level was .56 . I just dont wanna be let down . Sorry for rambling I needed to vent my feelings .

 

[trying hard]

so sorry jordan's mummy that you're feeling down They upped your dose right? I felt real down after af came too but now that it is almost gone (I am now cd7 and still bleeding!) I'm starting to feel a bit more hopeful again. Have they got you on progesterone too?... I guess all you can do is be content that you are trying something. I'm sure it will work for you soon hun. Just remember you have been pregnant before so your body can do it Sending you lots and lots of warm fuzzys. Hopefully as the PMS wears off you will feel better again soon.

 

[Crystal5483]

Hello!

trying hard - yes it was definitely a miscarriage. I had HEAVY bleeding on Wednesday-Saturday, slowly tapering off now. hCG #s were 27 to 134 to 34 to 21 ... so it's slowly going down... see below for more info.

jordans - DO NOT GIVE UP! It is completely possible for you and it will be again. The hormones while on those drugs cause lots of mood swings. I am here for you - we all are! Keep the faith and do not lose hope. Stress is not good especially when you have nothing to worry about except planning on when to DTD! hehe We all care about you and are going through similar situations... so just don't lose sight of what you really want.

afm- I met with my doctor today - he seemed VERY optimistic. He said that he is not going to change my dosage, but this time I am to take the pills CD 3-7. However, this is for NEXT cycle, obviously, since I am well beyond CD3 during this one. He did say that he does not want me to use any contraceptives this month and is completely fine with me getting pregnant immediately following this chemical pregnancy. He said that he honestly does not see any reason as to why we cannot keep on trying. And if it doesn't happen this month, then we will be back to Clomid the following cycle.

He did not request any additional testing beyond the hCG tests today. I asked about progesterone, but he said that they wouldn't consider it until the first blood tests. He told me that if I appear to be pregnant during this cycle, then when I call for a blood test, that I should also request the progesterone as well so that they CAN keep track of it early on. He also mentioned that once I get a positive that they will be testing me about every 3 days until they see a clear pattern of rising hCG and progesterone.

He also mentioned that it IS true that you are more fertile after conceiving (whether it was carried to term or miscarried) and that is why he wants us to continue on despite no clomid this cycle.

We shall see how this goes!

 

[trying hard]

I'm glad your doctors appointment went as well as possible. It would be so great if it could happen for all of us this time round, just waiting for the bleeding to stop so we can try again

I know what you mean! I've had spotting since 12.3 and my actual full flow started 12.14/15 so I just want it over now! 18 days is long enough!

 

[Crystal5483]

Update...

Hcg came back higher than before... Now want to do an ultrasound bc they think it may be ectopic

 

[trying hard]

ah Crystal I'm so sorry, It all sounded a bit strange to me thats just awful.

I hope they can fix you up real quick so you can start trying again. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to say to make you feel better but just know that I'm here for you for all the support you may want.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers over the coming days as they sort everything out.

 

[Crystal5483]

Thanks so much trying. It's so incredibly nerve racking! Ultrasound is at 12 tomorrow with a meeting with the doctor right after... So at least I'll have the results and a game plan figured out right away. I'm just so worried.

 

[trying hard]

I don't blame you for being worried, I think anybody would be right now. I'm sure all the doctors will be amazing and take great care of you. I will be keeping an eye on the forum to see how everything goes. Good luck hun

PS. It feels like we are getting to know each-other pretty well and I realised you didn't even know my name so... Hi, I'm Sarah so nice to meet you

 

[Crystal5483]

Haha hi Sarah!!

 

[Jordans_Mommy]

Thanks for your support Ladies !! Im on my last pill tomorrow so hopefully this works for me . You all are so supportive and I love how much we actually care about . Its great . You all made me cry earlier (maybe the clomid is working because Im extremely emotional lol) . But thank you .

Crystal Im so sorry . Maybe you had multiples in there and you just miscarried one Ive read that happening before .

Hi Sarah !! Im Jessica

 

[trying hard]

Hi Jessica :wave:

You are so welcome hun I love that I have found some like minded people that actually know what this rolercoaster ride of LTTTC feels like first hand. I think it has made my relationship with Sam heaps better too because I don't have to bring up every little thing with him and can just vent then get over it before he even gets home.

Kazzababa are you still out there? It must be O time for you by now...How are you feeling? when is your U/S? must be soon?
