Need a Clomid buddy!

[BABTTC123]

Sorry that I keep disappearing >.>
Honestly this round of Clomid is kicking my @$$! I have been exhausted for the past week, though I suppose recovering from a mega cold/flu couldn't be helping much lol
That's almost all gone now thankfully and I am now on cd 8 had my last pills last night!
Started taking my opk's and so far they are negative, but I shouldn't ovulate until Monday at the earliest.
Going to be dtd daily from the 22nd until the new year

1nce- You should be going through 3 rounds of clomid before consulting a fertility specialist. Not 2.... The normal routine is 50 mg for round 1, 100 mg for round 2 and 150 mg for round 3.
My dr started me off on 100 mg and now has me on 150 mg. Totally not normal but she seems to think that 50 mg doesn't work. From what I have been reading, it doesn't. So at 100 mg you should at least see that your body is trying to ovulate, or possibly it WILL ovulate
I have faith that this next round will work for you!!

Sweetpea- Fx that your bloods show good results!!

Mother- Give it a few days and test test test!!! Hopefully you have a sticky bean!

Drjo- When do you get your draw??

Sturkey- Good luck and fx for you!!

Sweetpea-- congrats! I am so excited for you!! Woohoo!


Drjo- you're not out till the witch shows, but I totally know how you feel.... Let's hang in there together!

BAB-- I hope you are feeling much better! I can say that I feel like I experienced every side effect under the sun (or it feels that way) from Clomid, so I am a bit nervous to try 100mg.

Mother-- any update??

As for me, I feel a bit more in the holiday spirit. I've been busy with finals for classes and now that's over... I've been keeping very busy to take my mind off all this waiting. I will start provera Saturday and I am really hoping it works this time to get a bleed.

Well its official. My progesterone was 2.7 today on CD24 so I didn't ovulate. :'( I'll still use opks since that's the only way to know when to expect AF. Im waiting on an appointment with the fertility specialist and I'll try clomid again while I'm waiting if I happen to have a cycle in the meantime.

 

[BABTTC123]

drjo- I'm sorry to hear that
You could still ovulate on 150 mg! 3rd times a charm right??

1nce- Hopefully round #2 won't be as hard on you now that your body is a bit used to it!
I think I got lucky and have had minimal symptoms... lol

Maybe...but i don't know if the specialist will try 150 or try a trigger shot or just go for femara. I just hope my tubes are open!

 

[BABTTC123]

I don't think that your tubes being open or closed would affect the ovulation process... it would just affect if the egg will survive squeezing through or not, and of course potential ectopic pregnancy, but I don't think it would do anything about the hormones
I hope they figure things out ASAP!

I'm so sorry to hear that hun. Hang in there! Do you already have an appt scheduled? Or, are you waiting to get an appt?

I called today and left a message for an appointment but haven't heard anything back. Hopefully I'll get a call back early next week.

That's probably true. I just don't want to add tube problems on top of it. I'm suspected to have endometriosis, and they thought my last pregnancy (mc) could have been ectopic because of the way my hcg rose, so I'm hoping that didn't do any damage.

I am sure they will call you back soon. They are prob just closed up for the weekend, and busy because of the holidays.

I am starting Provera today...I really hope that Clomid thickened my lining enough to shed with Provera. I actually been having cramps as if AF is coming on her own, but I highly doubt that because of my history. I didn't bother to take a pregnancy test, since no ovulation.

Any updates ladies?

 

[drjo718]

I got an appointment with the fertility specialist...it's this Wednesday! I didn't expect it to be so soon, now I'm nervous!

 

[klabro]

Hello again Getting ready to take my final clomid pill for me and then I'm sure this whole thing will start feeling more real afterwards. I'm just not very happy that my cycle is going to be unmonitored. Last month (because of my PCOS) I got a positive ovulation test 3 times all a couple weeks apart. It was a 44 day cycle. I'm starting to get nervous for the next few weeks now. I did just start a supplement that is supposed to help with egg quality/hormone levels with my PCOS so hopefully that will help too.

I know what you mean. Being unmonitored makes you wonder. At the same time, I hope I do not have to get to monitored, because then that's a lot of time spent at the doctors....but, at least you know what is going on. Good luck!

I'm on day 3 of my Provera pills, and then it will be just waiting for AF...if it ever comes. I am just trying to enjoy the holidays now and kind of forget about baby making while I'm taking the Provera. I hate waiting! Ugh.

 

[BABTTC123]

drjo- Congrats on getting in so soon!! Your appointment is tomorrow!!!!

Klabro- What are you taking??? It's not like i don't take enough pills already but if there is something that will help my chances then i must know! lol
I have pcos as well sooooo any help is much appreciated :3

1nce- I hope the provera works this time so that you can hurry up take round #2!!

Afm- Still waiting on O...
Opks have been getting light but they did the same thing last time inmediately before ovulation happened! So basing off last month, I should ovulate by tomorrow! fx that I do!!

 

[1nceUponATime]

Bab-- fx you ovulate tomorrow!

 

[klabro]

BAB--it is called inositol- look it up there is a lot of information about how it helps PCOS. The information is really good and the studies are very promising as well.

1nce-lets hope the provera does it's job. Fingers crossed.

 

[BABTTC123]

Klabro- Thank you!! It sounds like it is a pretty awesome supplement for treating pcos definitely something I will be getting!

1nce- Still having light tests but my cm was ew for sure!

I am so sorry ladies these holidays have me all messed up. Still No period I did confirm ovulation due to trigger, and blood test yet it's 14 DPO and no period. I am using the IC and no line is there I'm gonna test Christmas morning with a early detection one since those always come up quicker than the IC. That's if the witch doesn't show her ugly face. If she does we are onto Fermera or IUI
