First Clomid Cycle Buddy?

[ttcbaby117]

morning ladies - dizz - I am sorry you are feeling this way....I am was there a short time ago, but I was having fullblown panic attacks. I had to quit and ended up taking sometime off. I dont know if that is the answer to your problems, but just know this....you will be ok and the work will be there tomorrow so dont stress if you arent meeting those high goals you are setting for youself. I hope this helps.

suzie - I would def. speak to your dr. if the pain is that bad. I also have pain but it isnt to bad at all. Maybe also ask about femera that is a cancer drug they are using now a days b/c it seems to work like clomid without all the side effects.

Does anyone know anything about the progesterone test? My day 21 bloodwork was 13.

If I'm already ovulating on my own, I'm not sure it's worth it for me to continue on the clomid with my side effects but I DO want to make sure I indeed ovulate.

Is 13 indicative of a strong ovulation? Anyone know?
Thanks for all your help. I swear, these forums are sometimes more helpful than any doctor!

no idea about progesterone results sorry.
Diz I feel so sorry for you, I was the same with my old job, I switched about 2 years ago now and am so much happier, DH noticed the the difference too, as i no longer arrive home from work in tears!!!! You have to do what is right for you. Good luck girl!

Hi suzie,

Now I am no expert but they the FS said that a 'good quality ovulation' would have levels of 30 or more. My levels were only 13 when I had my checks done at day 21. When I saw the FS he said that I may have Ov earlier so not to worry about the level - that is when they decided to put me on clomid. They are going to check my levels again on my 2nd cycle of clomid.

Hope this helps

Hey dizzikel i will keep my fingers crossed for you this weekend.

I keep getting lost on the forum you all keep posting so quick. x

good evening ladies, jeeeeees, i been feeling the same with my work aswell, just so stressed at the minute cant focus nor concentrate..... im sure we will get to out goal soon and the stress of work will be the least on our minds, we could be running round after 1 if not 2 or 3 little rugrats lmao.

Just to let u ladies know, ive brought my clear blue plus pregnancy tests today not sure if i should test tomo morning, or wait till the weekend, im dreading seeing a bfn....
Is anyone else around the same time of me having major period like pains but about 4 times worse and i still got tht yellowy mucas euw!!! Also last night i slept for 14 hrs flat , i was knackered haha, never ever do tht. Good luck ladies, be nice to hear wht u all been up to and how ur al feeeling today , mwah x

Chez - Your symptoms sound really good. You'll be 11 DPO tomorrow...dare I say time for a test? It is a little early, so if a BFN is going to bring you down, than hold off another day. But I don't think you have to drag it out to the weekend!

 

[chezneyboo]

maybe friday morning then lola lol, u lot will be the first to know the results before anyone else thank u for all ur support ladies, we will see, i got 6 months supply of clomid so not guna be too disheartened to begin with.

Your not far behind me either lola, lets have some BFP coming on this thread xxx

 

[ttcbaby117]

chez - I am like you...I would rather not test than get the bfn...but I would try to hold out till 12 dpo if not later.....hahaha great symptoms though

 

[sarlar]

OMG I am getting so excited for you guys! keeping my fingers crossed chez and lola and all you getting close to you bfps!!

dizz- Jobs are stressful when you dont have stress at home-and we all know ttc is VERY stressful for us-so hopefully once you get your bfp some of the stress will melt away!!

I have my HSG tomorrow but got a not so pleasant call today. the hospital called as a courtesy to let me know my copay for the hsg was going to be 280. i have a 500 dollar yearly deductable and apparently i will also be getting a bill for 180 for recent apointments so i am pretty much meeting my deductable in a matter of the last month. I know lots of people have to pay a lot more but man a 500 dollar bill all at once when you arent expecting it really sucks. Guess ill just push through and try to remember the end result in all this!!

 

[lynne192]

me and my partner started clomid last year it worked but sadly it caused us to suffer and ectopic pregnancy i hope for all taking clomid it works out for you x

 

[MrsJA]

Wow, lots going on here ladies!

Kel, sorry to hear about how things are at work - as you know I feel EXACTLY the same! It's hard trying to juggle this TTC stuff with a job that is way over the top.
Re the pains, I wouldn't worry. It might be a good sign! I also hear that cramping and ovary pain in general is a pretty common side effect of the clomid, so I am sure nothing to worry about.

Sarlar, that sucks about the cost for your HSG. I will be thinking of you tomorrow and hope you get a great result. Let us know...

Chez, how exciting - you are nearly there!!!! If I were you I would hold off til 12 or 13 if you can. But that's just me... I hate the BFN
It would be great if you could be our first BFP for the thread!!

Suzie, let us know what the doc says about those progesterone levels. I'm getting my day 23 bloods back on Friday so I'd be interested to hear...

Lynne - welcome to the thread! I was sorry to read about your loss. Are you trying again at the moment?

Babydust and love to all!!

 

[lola13]

Sarlar - praying & thinking of you most today! Please update us when you can. I also had to pay $500 out of pocket for the hsg. I figure the little booger will cost us a whole lot more when s/he actually gets here!

 

[dizzikel]

Not much to report here today ladies....just counting down the days to the weekend! Just wanted to say good luck to eveyone, I hope we all have some lovely BFPs soon!

 

[daisii]

Hi girls, not much to report from me today but only 3 or 4 days post ov so there wouldn't be either way!!!! I just want the wait to be over, but I hate the BFN so at the same time I don't mind the TWW 'cos there is still hope!!!!

Chez it sounds good for you. Good luck with the testing.

Fingers crossed for us all, can't wait 'til we get some BFP's!

 

[chezneyboo]

hey my fertile friends, thanks for all ur comments, seems like this thread is really busy now im sure we will get some BFP this month,
Well im 11dpo, im resisting the testing but finding it hard, my boobies blooming killing and i had a real funny turn earlier on, i got the shakes really badly and near on ended up having a panic attack n started crying, i mean wht the hell ive never been like this before in my whole life, and i feel very funny today hmmmmm, just thot id update u with tht information lol, how is everyone else feeling today xxxxx

 

[chezneyboo]

just to add to u comments, are u not in the uk then cos over here in the uk i have got all my treatment free on the NHS and i only pay £7.40 for my supply of clomid for 6 months. Every test has been free all ive had to pay is perscription costs.

I really cant imagine how u lot are feeling not only finding it hard to conceive and go thru all the side effects but u also have the finacial stress and worry to add to it, i really feel for u guys and really hope that some good comes out of it for u all, sometimes here in England ppl dont realise just how lucky we are x

 

[dizzikel]

Chez: TEST TEST TEST!

 

[chezneyboo]
