Looking for a buddy

[Jasiellover]

My husband and I have been dealing with infertility for about 3.5 years now.

I did 3 unsuccessful rounds of clomid almost a year ago.. and then we decided to take a break..until now. I have one more round left that we decided we want to take once my period shows (within the next week)

Anyone going to be taking clomid or some other form of medication/procedure within the next week or so that wants to be buddies? I would like to compare signs/symptoms and just be a support system for each other.

Hi Jasiellover. I'm not on the same time frame as you, but I take clomid as well and just had my second IUI on Monday. I've been taking clomid for I believe 8 months now...the time just blurrs together after a while. I know you are looking for someone who's around your same cycle time, so feel free to tell me to get lost...lol. But I'm here if you'll have a buddy in me.

 

[Jasiellover]

Hey no doubt! Thanks for responding How long have you been in this journey?

I unfortunately am not on the same cycle time either. Mine is actually messed up a little since having a chemical pregnancy last month. I am on CD 20 and still waiting to ovulate. This is my third round of Clomid. I know my symptoms from being on clomid and getting pregnant on it so feel free to ask me any questions that you may have. Even thouogh we are not on the same time frame I would love to be buddies.

Hi Jasiellover! I'm looking for a buddy too. I am about to hit the 4 year mark (yikes). I stopped taking depo-provera shots in 2008 - I think that's why it's taking me so long! I have not tried Clomid, yet. I had the HSG in December and was hopeful that I'd get pregnant following it, but didn't.
I am now going to try acupuncture and relaxation.

Anyhow, I am going to say that today is Cycle day 1 (been spotting for a few day but much heavier today). So we will be on similar cycles?!?!

I hope this is the month for both of us!

I have been trying since September 2010, so for 20 months. I'm hoping this is it for us. We will know in a couple of weeks.

 

[Jasiellover]

Angelria- So sorry to hear about your chemical. I can't imagine how stressful that must make everything..even more than it already is! I really hope this next month is it for you. Thanks for responding. It's nice to know I can bring my clomid questions to you! This will be my fourth round of clomid.. but I haven't taken it in so long I almost forget what I'm in for! I can't believe this is going to be the FOURTH though.. gets discouraging.

Needababynow- In August it will be around the four year mark for me too NOO that's so scary. I really hope acupunture and relaxation helps you. I am really thinking about trying acupunture so you'll have to let me know how it goes! I'll try anything at this point LOL. I would love to be buddies though! AF still hasn't showed but I'm feeling miserable and cramping like crazy so I know she'll be here in a few days. Baby dust to us!!

NoDoubt- I REALLY hope this is it for you. I know some ladies get discouraged when they buddy up with someone and then they end up falling pregnant, but if it's someone I know has been struggling just like me, I actually get hopeful. It's nice to see people transition out of this stupid infertility and getting their little one. I hope this is your month!

 

[Jasiellover]

Needababynow today is CD1 for me also... Af decided to show today

 

[Needababynow]

Needababynow today is CD1 for me also... Af decided to show today

Stupid - I wish she'd stay away! I'm going to pray this is our month!!!

 

[Jasiellover]

So am I!! 2 more days until I can start clomid.. I'm excited

 

[Needababynow]

Oh yay! I'm considering trying it but haven't decided yet??? Can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[Jasiellover]

It sucks especially that I REALLY get my hopes up everytime I'm on it

Do you know when you're going to start acupuncture?

 

[Needababynow]

Yeap, I'm going on the 28th for my first session. I've been in for the consultation and got some literature on it - but the actual acupuncture starts then.

I still get my hopes up every month too... WHY do we still do that? I know better and do it every month. This month I thought for sure we had it, but then af showed and I cried for a whole day

I'm working really hard on not letting it be so stressful... easier said than done though! I just want it more than I have ever wanted anything in my life and it SUCKS there's nothing I can do to control it!

 

[Jasiellover]

Ahh yes I've been there too. That's what happened the last time I was on clomid. I was seriously so depressed when AF showed, I didn't even wanna get out of bed.

I don't know why we do it to ourselves. I guess we just can't help it because our heart yearn for a baby so bad

I hope your first session goes well! I really wanna do it too. Do you have to pay a lot for it?

 

[Needababynow]

It's not too bad... The initial cost is $120.00 then it's $60.00 each session after that. You can also do package deals to cut some of the cost. We've had to cut back on other stuff to afford it. Hopefully it will help

 

[Boat_girl]

AF showed up this weekend. grrrr. I have an appointment this wednesday with my RE for a scan and will start my second round of clomid that night. fingers crossed that it'll work this month for both of us!

 

[No Doubt]

Good luck Boat Girl...sorry af showed

Needababy, is that the cost of clomid for you? Doesyour insurance not cover it? Clomid costs me $9 a month...no wonder I've been on it for 8months...lol. I can see why other people don't do a lot of cycles if that's what it cost them.

Jasiellover, I get my hopes up every month too...I don't think it can be helped. I think the only time I didn't get all depressed around af was when I knew I was going in for my fs consultation. But now after one "check and make sure everything is working like it's supposed to" month and now on my second iui, the let downs are worse than before. I'm hoping I don't have to be let down this month, but if I do, that it won't be so bad.

 

[Jasiellover]

Needababy now that's not too bad if it actually works and helps reduce your stress.

Boat_Girl .. I really hope this second round works for you! I'm hoping the fourth time is the charm for me :/

Nodoubt- Seriously, getting your hopes up is the worsttttttttttt. The only time I didnt stress was the first time I took clomid. Then after it didnt work I got a little worried.. then second didnt work..or third.. then i was like oh snap. SO I'm REALLY hoping this round is it for both of us!! Especially now that we had a like 8 month break since any kind of treatment. If youre doing an IUI with clomid ..it's really hard not to get your hopes up :/

Is it just me or does clomid give you weird dreams too? I take it before bed so I don't feel the symptoms as much and I have crazy weird dreams!

 

[No Doubt]

Lol...I've always had weird dreams every now and again but for the past few months I've definitely been having a lot more. Less this month though.

Good luck Boat Girl...sorry af showed

Hey no doubt! That is the cost for acupuncture, starting that next Saturday.
Jasiellover, not too bad if it helps. She wants me to go weekly, if it gets too expensive I will just go every other week.

Hope you all are having a great week!
