P**SED OFF !!! I just wrote a huge reply telling you all about my appointment and lost it !!!!! AARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right ...
My mum told me about that programme when I rang her about my appointment, she said "Chez I don't mean to worry you but me and your dad watched a programme about clomid and ..." lol bless her.
Today we saw the best fertility specialist in South Australia, he was lovely
I was so nervous about hubbys SA, as I was worried he'd started smoking again and not told me (he gave up two years ago when we got his semen checked and it was low, he gave up and 4 months later his sperm was all ok) but to my relief his swimmers are all ok, docs happy and he has over 35 million. All his bloods were ok too.
All my bloods were ok too, even the one for pcos, but the doc still addressed it as 'suspected' pcos because of the follicles I had present at my baseline scan, but he said he's not worried about it and said no more. I told him I had put myself back on metformin so he's advised me to come off it and go for a blood test on Tuesday to check my sugar levels I think for when I am pregnant incase of diabetes and to see if I need to stay on Metformin. So I have to fast then have one lot of blood in the morning, then they'll give me a sugary drink then 2 hours later take more blood.
So doc says to me ... well you're only young, you're ...23? I have lots of patients so much older than you. So we have lots of time, we can take things nice and slow. So hubby said well we've been trying 2 years (small white lie) and it feels like forever. I agreed with hubby so the doc said so when would you like a baby? Now? Next year? So I said well I'd love to be pregnant this month. Doc said arrrr ok, lets get on with it then. And right there and then grabbed his pad and wrote me a prescription for CLOMID
So I have to start on 25mg ... yep 25mg, I have to split my tablets in half. One reason being he is '98%' sure this dose will work and another being my mums a twin (EEKKKKK) So I take 25mg, once a day one days 5-9. Then on day 16 (I think-the nurse will call me to say when) I will have a scan to see my follicle('s) doc said I should have one big follicle and he'll give us the go ahead to 'start shooting' but if I have two or more he'll tell us not to have sex.
He told us to have sex every 2-3 days so that sperm can replenish. He said sperm thats there 2 days prior to ovulation tends usually to be the sperm that gets the egg.
I am so happy ! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders ! I feel relaxed and positive. Obviously I am still holding out for my BFP this month.
AND it's only costing us $300 not $750 phewwww !
So there's my story, I think that's everything. Now I'm looking forward to going away tomorrow night, spending time with my hubby, eating and
then Monday starting healthy eating with lots of fruit and veg.
I've had some cramps today, mainly on my left side and I can not get comfy at all ... but I am NOT symptom spotting !!
Any plans for the weekend?
