Clomid !!

[Crystal5483]

Hi Sarah and Jessica!

I totally agree. This support system eases having to try to vent to the DH who looks at me like I have ten heads when I mention hcg or progesterone or ectopic lol.

My name IS Crystal haha so that's easy.

Sounds like the clomid is working Jessica!

Hey ladies
Haven bein on in few days being haven such a bad time with Af I still have it,an am still bleeding really heavy.dont know what's going on due with doctor tomorrow for follicle check,don't even know if I can have it done with still bleeding so heavy. Checking for Ov 3 days now but can't see it while still bleeding so heavy.very emotional an frustrated.tying hard I do have endometriosis but even with that I've never experience anything like this. Just hopefully doc can shed some light tomorrow.. Have you start testing for Ov yet know your not far behind..
Crystal hope your doing ok an excited for trying again. You will be more fertile this month do hopefully this your month..
Jordan's-mommy hope your doing well, know its an emotional rolarcoaster we are all on stay strong. What day are you now??
Let's hope 2012 is all our years

 

[Crystal5483]

Ok ladies so it looks like I'll be observing over the next few months. I went for the ultrasound today and they could not see anything so they repeated my hcg tests and the levels rose AGAIN... so they are presuming it's ectopic. Needless to say I am going tomorrow for methotrexate injections.

After these shots I will not be able to TTC for three months... so I guess that puts me into March... if not April.

But I will STILL BE HERE! For all of you ladies. I'm going to put my focus into losing some weight and doing some downsizing / organization at home.

I may even try temping!

 

[trying hard]

I'm sorry Crystal that sux, If having a MC wasn't bad enough!!! Well on the positive side at least you wont have all the birthdays clumped together.

good luck with the loosing of some weight. It does present a good opportunity to get into it... How much do you want to loose? I have lost nearly 10 kg so 22 pound for you guys lol over the last few months and am now pretty happy, I guess it wouldn't hurt to loose a little more but I am now in the "ideal" weight range so I don't care. I can now wear a bathing suite without cringing so thats good enough for me.

Kazz I am now CD 9 so will start temping tomorrow, last month on clomid it was cd14 I Oed and before that CD16. I haven't ever bothered with OPKs as my temps are pretty typical and easy to read. I hope the bleeding stops soon, mine only stopped yesterday which is such a long AF for me, I guess it means that our linings were awesome!

Jessica any side affects yet? What kind of monitoring are they doing this cycle?

 

[Crystal5483]

Wow!! 22lbs? How did you do it? I need to lose like 50 lol ....My thyroid has been acting up and we're slowly getting it under control now... so that has been an issue, too.

And yes, it looks as if I would be heading towards a January 2013 delivery if I end up pregnant the first cycle. And if not... then sometime in 2013. It just seems SO FAR AWAY. It's a year+!

But at least that gives me time to plan things out more, as well. My daughter starts Kindergarten in the fall, so that is going to change things up a bit, too.

Good luck with your cycle this month!!

Hey Ladies !!

Crystal Im sorry you cant try until March . Good luck on losing weight . I just started counting my calories and Im addicted to it . I use an application on my phone ... its really cool .


Sarah, Ive been horribly emotional . I lashed out on my sister last night for no reason and I was crying when my fiance' told me he couldnt make it home before doing another shift at work . EMOTIONAL . They arent doing any monitoring which frustrates me . She said do OPK's but I got a positive last month when I didnt ovulate so I dont wanna rely on that . Im on CD7 . You arent that far ahead of me are you ? Are you getting ultrasounds done ? Or just CD21 checks like me ?

Side effects: emotional, sore breasts and a little nausea . Im hoping .

Its also getting closer to the date when I had my son Jan 23 ... it'll make 1 year . Thats somewhat weighing heavy on my mind .

 

[Kazzababba]

Yay had 3 big follicles girls all with good measurements linning good 2,didn't seem bothered about bad Af said not 2 worry. He recons 2-3 days to Ov so getting busy

Really sorry crystal hope your ok 3 months will fly in 2 try again.my thoughts an prayers are with you

 

[Kazzababba]

Jordan's-mommy everything you have said is how I'm feeling everyone is on eggshells round me at the moment,guess its the clomid side effects when taken early.i had no side effects on days 5-9...really sorry it's coming up 2 your little boys anniversary know it must be a hard time for you.will be thinking an praying for you this month.would be lovely for you. Xxxx

 

[trying hard]

Hey ladies!!! Ah man have finally got on the internet while on holiday and man, I didn't realise how dependent on these chat rooms I have become. I totally found myself wondering how you ladies are doing...

Sorry Jessica. Maybe you could do something nice to celebrate Jordan's birthday? I'm just doing bloods at day 12 and 21. I had my bloods taken today CD14 not 12 because of the way the stat days have fallen.

Crystal.. Isn't Madie 5? what age do they start kindy over there? My madie has just started kindy and she is 3 and a 1/2

As for the whole loosing weight I just stopped eating crap and walking more and a little on my wii. I hate the whole idea of dieting because you cheet and feel bad. If I want to eat something, I will but I will only have a little

Kazz So great to hear about your folicals hope this is it for you honey!
I don't know if it is because I'm on holiday and am too busy to notice but I havn't noticed any O feelings and my temp hasn't gone up yet so keeping fingers crossed I O real soon so my LPD is still ok.

I have been trying my hardest not to think about baby making until I get home and have been drinking a few cocktails and wines and just relaxing about it for a lil while. Even has been better away from home( more fun instead of baby making)

 

[Jordans_Mommy]

Kazzababba I had no side effects on CD5-9 either but this CD2-6 Ive been a cranky mess !! Im not sure if my other half can take them giving me a higher dose if I dont O lol !! Glad to hear the good news abouth the follies Im praying its your month .

Sarah !! I had been counting my calories and I felt like snacking one day and had a piece of pie and a piece of chocolate and got upset cause that was all my calories for the day lol so I stopped that !!

AFM Im on CD12 and no O yet . Still waiting patiently, I have been cramping just a little though but thats all .

 

[Jordans_Mommy]

Thank you for the love about my son's birthday Ladies me and my love will go to his grave site and go to dinner to celebrate .

Yup! Madi turned 5 on October 24th. You have to be 5 as of Sept 1st in order to start Kindergarten. So she starts next year (2012). She is in Pre-Kindergarten one day a week now. The other four days she spends with her Mammaw (Grandma - she could never say it right, and it sort of just stuck!) and her Grandpa.

Wow 3 1/2 and in Kindergarten already? Insane! I was 4 when I started - but they changed the guidelines after I began school. Madison will turn 18 her senior year and be almost 19 when she begins college!

 

[Crystal5483]

Thank you for the love about my son's birthday Ladies me and my love will go to his grave site and go to dinner to celebrate .

I wasn't on for a few days. I hope that you have a wonderful day when the time comes. Have a celebratory dinner and just enjoy and celebrate him. I can't imagine what it was like to go through that and I hope that NONE of us ever will (again).

You are a strong woman for enduring what you have. I pray that all goes well for you this month.

 

[trying hard]

Got my day 12 bloods back and they are a whopping 1035!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippy. have been doing the deed every day for about a week so we should have caught the eggy

I went to bed before sam last night and Sam had to wake me up and convince me to DTD while I was quite shitty and just wanted to sleep but so glad he did. Wish me luck!!!

 

[Jordans_Mommy]

Congrats Trying Hard !! Whats is your name lol ?! Thats so funny that he woke you up . Tyson uses this as his excuse to DTD everyday . He says but your on the medicine ... we're trying . Then I give in . HA !!

Anywho Ladies I think Im off the clomid . The pains that I get are horrible . When I got them last month she said it was just a side effect and I thought it wasnt the pills but it is . I cant handle this side effect I can only function on 600mg pain reliever and that puts me to sleep lol so imagine me at work . Im not sure what will come after the clomid but my fingers are crossed that it worked this month .

 

[trying hard]

I'm Sarah :wave:

I'm surprised he actually managed to get me awake enough not to be shitty. By the time we have had a week of DTD every day we are both over it and don't really want to.

Well Jessica I really hope this is your month then hun, Its sad that the side affects are so bad for you What cycle is this? number 2?

Last night was such a crap night for us, we are staying at my parents place who have a big 6 bedroom 5 hectare farm and Madelyn lost her favourite teddy "pink bear" So after hours of everybody looking for him we had to put her to bed alone without him...She was SOOOOOOOOOOO sad!! She woke up so many times and ended up sharing a double air bed with sam and I. Not fun. This holiday has been so hard on her first she got hit in the head with a tent pole which left a big bump and bruise, Then her cousin chopped off half of her pony tail (it was down to the small of her back) and now it has a horrible mullet looking layer to it (yuck!!!) and now she has lost her teddy. Poor kid.

Well today is new years eve for me so I will talk to you all next year
Lots of luck and baby dust. Has everything been sorted out yet Crystal?

 

[Crystal5483]

Hi ladies been off for a few days now. Sorry Jessica that you're having such awful side effects! I hope that you stay in touch! Maybe you caught the eggy this time and this is the end for you!

Sarah - any new news? Symptom spotting yet lol

afm - Levels were 74 on the 26th and only went down to 71 on the 29th... and they needed to drop 15%... which they didn't. So I had to go in on the 31st of all days and get another ultrasound. Again, they saw nothing! The tech even said that if she knew nothing of what was going on that she would think she was just looking at a normal uterus and tubes!

So they gave me two more injections of methotrexate and they're saying it has to work this time around. Frankly I just want it ALL to stop... tomorrow makes ONE MONTH of bleeding... it's getting old! I just want to dtd for fun again... since we have to wait three months now.

So we shall see. Just can't believe nothing is seen yet something remains to cause the hcg to stay.... strange!

 

[trying hard]

Happy new years ladies! Hope everyone had a great holiday. We just got home to Auckland after staying at mum and Dads for the holidays. I had my day 21 bloods taken today so should have the results of them tomorrow. Crystal as far as symptoms are concerned I have taught myself to just ignore them because they have never done me any good so far.

That must be so annoying that your numbers are still up. Hopefully It will all be gone soon for you so you can get practicing.

Sam and I had lots of fun being on holiday making a baby... we even managed to get out into the passion fruit orchid for a little passion was nice to change things up a bit


Well hope you guys are all rested and ready to make our babies this year.

 

[Jordans_Mommy]

Crystal I hope everything gets figured out soon for you .

Sarah . Happy to read you had a good vacation . Thats always nice .

As for me still no positive OPK and my OB said I said I should go to an Reproductive Endocrinologist because all she can do is increase my clomid and Im not willing to do that . Called and made left a message for for an appointment and hopefully I can get in so we can start for for January .

HAPPY NEW YEAR LADIES !!

 

[trying hard]

Just got my results back and they were 37.4 which the nurse said was great and defiantly showed ov. yay

Sam says my boobs look really big but I am naturally a D cup anyway and have got a few new bras so don't know. Possibly they are bigger (they look big to me too) but possibly just a good bra makes a difference?

6days till testing

Jessica, I so hope you get an appointment real soon. Sux that clomid hasn't been the wonder drug for you.what cycle day are you?


yeah our holiday was pretty good. Poor Madelyn got the short end of the stick though. She is one of 7 grand children on my side and while we were down there one cousin wacked her in the head with a metal tent pole and gave her a black eye and big bump, another cousin chopped off half of her pony tail, she lost her teddy then she came out in hives and a fever!!!


Kazzaba you must be getting close to testing time
