First round of Clomid, CD8, Need Support!

[megn855]

Earlier this month I found myself back at the Dr office explaining what DH and I were going through I was on CD 75 with no end in sight. We have been TTC#3 since our DD was born 2 years ago and nothing, out of no where in Jan. my AF just stopped coming. My doctor rambled off about 10 different tests that he wanted me to do. To my surprise he asked if we wanted clomid for the first round that should start in 2 weeks with the prometrium he prescribed.

So, here we are CD 8, I just took my last clomid this morning, no seriously awful side effects other than my face feels like it is on fire. I still don't have the results of any of the tests that they did on CD3. On one hand I feel blessed that we have a chance at a Christmas BFP, on the other hand I'm anxious about any of my test results and being disappointed with opk and hpt results.

DH doesn't talk about anything serious and tries to avoid sexual conversations at all cost. I find myself comforted searching these posts knowing that so many woman have been through this. Out of all the experiences in life that I have had this seems to be the only thing I can not find comfort, encouragement or support through my friends and family.

What did everyone do to keep your mind off of TTC? I am constantly consumed. Anyone else on same cycle to share updates??

Hi there Megn...

Your post really struck a chord with me, because this is exactly how I feel. I feel so lonely in this because I can't find any of the above through friends and family. It really is such an isolating process...

I am thinking about looking for a support group nearby that I can go to, because I would so love to find someone in the real world to talk to. Have you thought of this?

Recently, I have ventured out and told some family, but no one knows what to say! It's so hard. I have told one friends and she is very good, but lives far away.

In terms of keeping ours mind off...I have just joined a gym and am writing about my experience. Do you have any hobbies that you could pick up again? I get so annoyed at the time I waste just thinking about it all...

Now I am heading into my TTW and the demonic, crazed woman is about to appear! I don't want to spend the last week of it constantly wondering like usual- it's driving me insane! Do you have any tips for calming the TTW monster?!

Oh yay, I have found someone who is close to my cycle. I start my first round of Clomid tomorrow (thanksgiving). I have no idea what to expect or anything. Quite nervous and excited, don't know if it will work this round or not but hey!

I try to keep myself busy with day to day tasks, like cleaning, shopping or just watching TV. I don't really have anyone to talk to either besides another girl on here. My friends and family do not know we are TTC and don't know if they would even be able to help since none of them have been through what I am going through.

I hope the doc calls soon with all of your results and hopefully put your mind at ease.

Hi ladies....I took the last pill of my 1st dose 2 nights ago. I did days 5-9. I'll go get progesterone tested on the 9th...then maybe a Xmas BFP on the 17th when she draws my blood.

Also I took my pills before bed in hopes of avoiding any possible symptoms and I was fine. Just CRAZY HOT! My current temps are my usual post OV temps I wonder if they will start to go down now that I'm done witht he clomid.

I am ALWAYS thinking about TTC Only time I try not to is when I start feeling bad about it...then I try to redirect my energy...like go play a comp game, play with my kitties or something.


Good luck to all of us for a wonderful Christmas!

Hi Ladies...mind if i join in here? I am also starting serophene (same as clomid) tomorrow. day 5-9 100mg. Not sure what to expect although the doc said it may make me a little bitchy. lol I try to keep my mind off TTC with hobbies (painting and doing some crafts) yoga and meditation help me decompress... sorry you have no one to talk about it with and your DH avoids serious talks. That's a bummer. I find the support on here is very comforting, because we are all in the same boat. Good luck and for some Christmas 's

I go on the 9th as well, luckily these last few days I have had getting ready for the holidays to keep my mind off of everything.

Everyone is welcome to join in. The more support the better. Glad to know we are all so close in cycles, hope that we get to share good news here soon. Excited that DH and I start DTD today, one day closer to that BFP!

Called the doctor Wed. still no results and they were closed today, maybe Monday I might get my results. Worries me a little that it is taking this long. Does it normally take that long to get your first results?

Good luck and baby dust ladies

Hey, I wouldn't worry about the results taking too long. I suppose your dr's office like mine is a very busy place. you'll probably hear soon. I won't get any results from anything myself until allllll hubbies and my tests are complete for December. so I won't know much until the new year. We'll just do the dance this month and hope for positive results from clomid. everyone!!!

I am in nursing school and the motto they drill in our head is " No News is Good News!" They want us to reassure all patients this and to hopefully keep them calm during the waiting period!

Agreed the more people the better! I have posted 4 other times regarding Clomid and buddies and I wasn't able to get any takers. So I am glad this post was started!
I am on my third pill of Clomid today only two more days to go! I go for my blood work on the 16th. Since this is my first round I am trying not to have high of hopes, I think I would be just as happy to know it helps me ovulate! I haven't noticed too many symptoms because I take it at night. I think the only thing I have noticed is drowsiness! But it helps me sleep at night so that's a positive to me
How is everybody else doing, anyone going stir crazy yet?!

 

[LillyTame]

we are supposed to start every other bd today....can I say after 12 months of trying to catch the egg I dont really feel like having sex

By the 16th I should be testing! would have been having labs done that day and see the doc but she wont be in till the 17th.

 

[megn855]

Thanks ashrc66 for the reassurance. I hope that is the case.

Today is CD13, normally I would be excited thinking about DTD tonight, but my left ovary feels like it is going to explode. I can definitely say the clomid is doing something. Anyone else had a similar experience?

 

[ashrc66]

No Prob Meg.

Ladies, I just wanted to let you all know that I will no longer be on BNB site

My husband just dropped the bomb on me last night that he is not ready for a baby and doesn't want to try. It sucks so bad considering I have been on Clomid for 4 days now and today is my last day and we were supposed to start DTD on Friday. I just think being on here will make me more upset than being beneficial.

I want to wish all of you ladies good luck and hope this is your month!
to all!

Hi sorry to hear this, what reason did he give is it the stress of trying to conceive or the actual bringing up baby? I have started clomid and as it is taking a while to conceive I think a lot of men would turn around and say this, it may not be permamant maybe relax over xmas and see where you both are in Jan

Good luck

He says it is financial matters (which haven't changed), and just not ready. I can understand the financial portion but why is it a problem now when he said we would work it out just two weeks ago. He is dead set on at least 7-8 months but could be longer.

 

[LillyTame]

Wow, I'm sorry ashrc66, this has got to be hard for you! I completely understand not wanting to be surrounded by TTC talk. Maybe your OH is just getting cold feet and will come back around soon

Sorry to hear this ash. Husbands are sometimes unpredictable, at least he is willing to talk to you about his fear of not being ready. I don't know the whole situation but maybe there is still hope for the this round since you are already on the meds.

There is always fear of the unknown. People change their minds consistently. We are all here if you need to talk or vent.

I wish you the best of luck!

Megn,

I am on my 3rd clomid cycle...cycle 1 was vey intense around O...felt like my insides would burst, also horrible back pain O night. Cycle 2 seemed to have O early like CD 11...felt not much of anything. I think the egg released to early. Now cycle 3 (we are around the same CD) I m feeling bloated again. I feel constipated, boated, crampy, & just awful. It is very hard to get in the mood for sex and sometimes it can be uncomfortable.

Good luck with the clomid. I hope it works...for both of us.

Cramping has luckily stopped for now, but today I was so tired I could barely drive home from work. I am also feeling bloated and having crazy hot flashes. Just hoping that its more than the side effects of the clomid. I don't know if I can hold out another week before testing.
