Need a Clomid buddy!

I work nights so the 11 30 PM test was like my afternoon test :) hoping to see a temp shift now. It's my 1st month temping and I never test at the same time and I sleep with my mouth open, so I didn't have high hopes. This morning my temp went up to 97.5 with my average temp being 97.1.

Maybe the specialist would start you on femara. That's exactly what happened to me...I tried 50 and 100 of clomid with the midwives, it didnt work, then was referred and the specialist gave me 5 of femara.
 
Thank you for your replies ladies :)

I know it's still early to go for clomid and that my chance of conceiving naturally is pretty good. But if It doesn't happen in April my next chance is august. This situation is just temporary for a year or 2. I know my doctor pretty well she always listens to my concerns and gives me advice. i may go to her tomorrow. I'll see what she has to stay. I know natural is better but I need to increase my chances and pray it happens.

Florida- I'm sorry for your losses. I really hope you get your sticky bean soon. I'm not taking clomid to prevent miscarriage, just to increase chances of conception. I tried for 2 months after MC and nothing:/ that's why I'm trying so hard for that month.

1nce- I'm sorry your going through all this:/. I'm really hopping your cycles become more regular and respond to clomid and get a BFP soon. Maybe give it more time and try a higher dose. But I understand it's frustrating. I heard and read loads about Vitex. I actually bought a bottle and didn't take it because I was afraid it might delay my ovulation if I'm regular. However people with irregular cycles and those who are having trouble ovulating usually find it a success. But it takes a while for effects to kick in. In your case it would not hurt to take it. It works much differently than clomid.

Drjo- Hubby will be here for a month and we have planned it according to my 33-34 day cycles. Using fertility friend- that app knows my body more than I do! I know that my OBGYN may not be able to do ovidrel for me but clomid 50 is a good possibility. Do you know if it's just the vaginal ultrasound that shows how many mature follicles there are?
 
Hi all

Sorry for the absense. I have been all over the place these days and finding it hard to make any conversation that isn't me whining about the mc lol
Soooo I have been avoiding certain threads that i get the urge to compain on..

Anyways, sorry if I don't bring myself up to date.

Yesterday I went to my doctors office and had to see a different doctor since mine is busy until late Febraury.
This one wasn't much help because she can't make decisions on how I should proceed since she isn't my assigned doctor.
Basically all she said was the wait until my next period and then try again. I got my bloods back today and hcg is below 1 now. I am no longer bleeding but I have felt some cramping. It reminded me of ovulation pains mixed with some stretching feeling/pain. Not what I normally experience for af so idk what to really think. The OB nurse that had called with my results didn't have much to say about it other than to keep an eye on it.

But other than that I have been okay.

I'd love to get an update on where everyone is at in their cyles/pregnancies?
Save me some time and energy of scrolling through previous posts lol

Oh and welcome new comers!! :)
 
Taima- I believe they only do vaginal to check follicles. The abdominal ultrasound doesn't get close enough to the ovaries to give a good look.

Bab- I hope things start to normalize for you soon and sorry you couldn't get more answers from the clinic. Since you asked, I'm currently on o day. Lots of cramping and fullness the last few days.
 
That's awesome drjo! This month will be yours for a sticky bean!
 
Hey
So I went to my OBGYN today and she is going to have me on 50mg clomid the month hubby is with me. She didn't like the idea of ovidrel though, convinced me to let nature take its course on that part.
Very happy and relaxed that I'll get clomid!
As for this cycle- I'm CD 22 and still no temp rise- Ultrasound showed I had one egg that was too small to come down now.

BAB- I'm sorry to hear about your MC. From what I read going through the thread I see it was an early MC like it happened to me. It was my first too. It's hard I know. If you miscarried naturally I don't see a reason to wait. A lot of people are actually really fertile after a Chemical pregnancy. So if your emotionally ready, you can probably try. Some doctors say to wait and some say you don't really need to. Do what you want. I tried right away but didn't get BFP. I read a lot of women do succeed though. So regardless of what the substitute doctor said, make the decision that your comfortable with.

I'm going to follow this thread and see how everyone does with clomid. Congrats to everyone who got BFP and hope everyone else gets their Bfp soon!
 
Btw I read in the earlier portions of the thread you ladies were talking about getting 100 cheap OpK online. Can someone provide a link? Are they accurate?
 
So today I POAS.....of course I really don't know what caused me to do this....It's only day 22 of my cycle and I will need to take an HPT before starting Provera on day 30....I truly believe I did not ovulate this cycle, but I guess its just wishful thinking that maybe OPKs don't work for me or I missed my surge. This whole process is really frustrating me. I'm going to start Vitex and I actually ordered some Inositol (after reading up on stuff when you guys mentioned it)..The Inositol is really only to help me relieve my anxiety and depression...but maybe it'll help who knows right? I just need a break from Clomid. If the supplements don't help me get a regular period..then I'll go back to medicated cycles in a couple months and a specialist...P.S. My dogs Vet called and his tumor was not cancerous...and my little baby seems to be healing up quite well...although he is not happy with his little cast. I have to put a baby sock on it to get him to not try to rip the cast off LOL

BAB-- I am so sorry to hear that you are not doing as well lately. I don't mind if you want to talk about your loss...go ahead, this is what this forum is for, right? You deserve to be supported in your time of need and we are hear to listen!

drjo-- that's awesome you saw such a good temp rise. I nixed the temping this cycle cause I don't typically sleep through the night. Of course, lately I have been sleeping through the night LOL (good ol' melatonin)...I am praying you get your sticky bean this cycle. I will be so happy for you!

Taima-- I order wondfo's off of amazon. They are pretty cheap.....I see they work perfectly fine for many women. I have yet to get a positive, but I think it's just cause I haven't ovulated.......so they probably are working just fine.
 
Grrr my temp went up to 98.2 today, so now FF is giving me dotted cross hairs 2 days before Im pretty sure I ovulated, the day before my positive opk. Darn thing. At least my temp went up and I can verify ovulation on my own. The cramping is almost gone now and cm is no longer ewcm Soni think it's safe to say it's passed. The 2ww begins!

1nce- glad to hear your doggie is doing well and it wasn't cancer! I know how you feel about not ovulating though...it can be depressing when your body doesn't do what it should. Do what you need to do for peace of mind.

Taima- I also ordered mine off amazon. Just search wondfo ovulation tests and you'll find them.
 
Bab I also don't mind. I've been through 5 and am here if you need me.
Taima thank you I appreciate it. I was just letting you know that you might not want to take all of that if you don't need to.
1nce according to my doctor ovulate regularly I've gotten pregnant frequently in Last few years although they haven't gone full term but I have never not one time and able to catch my surge on OPK's and at one point I did it for a month straight. Until I put them down that I could get pregnant must've been the stress or something I don't.
 
Thanks drjo and 1nce.

Florida- have you tried to use progesterone suppositories with any of your pregnancies or cycles after ovulation?
I know I was going overboard with the ovidrel as I'm still considered fertile and my chances of conception are good without meds. I was just wondering maybe it would increase my chances at twins in combination with clomid. Anyway I realize ovidrel isn't for me since I don't have ovulation issues (just a little late, but it's ok clomid might help with that).
I'm praying clomid could make my chances higher for twins since my cycles are regular 33-34 days. I know my chances are so slim lol but it could happen. Main reason for clomid isn't twins though, just want to increase my chances and have stronger ovulation/better quality egg(s)
 
I am 11Dpo and a BFN. I know I'm out. With my other children I always showed positive at 10 days. Just waiting on AF now which may give me an insight into my LP so that's handy. I am then taking a break as it has been so stressful.
Good luck to you all waiting to test. Xx
 
Taima it makes since. You want to know when o is so you and dh can catch that eggy and ovidrel does help with that. I have taken oral progesterone from bfp before. I am going to request the suppositories if the dr thinks it's ok
 
DRJO-- When you took Clomid and didn't ovulate what was your CM like?

*TMI*
I've had a lot more CM this month in general...but today is CD 23 and it feels like the CM is just leaking out of me, its never been this much, this late in my cycle. I'm just wondering if that is normal ?
 
1nce- I honestly don't remember much about the cm and I didn't chart so i have no documentation to look back on. I don't remember anything out of the ordinary for me though.
 
I posted but I don't think it went thru. Anyway. I spotted today (only when wiping) and I thought for once it might be my natural period even though I'm only cd 23. it stopped though. Ah well. Craziness.

Maybe implantation bleed
 
I think it's really unlikely. I don't think I ovulated at all . But maybe my body is trying to do its just for once and shed a lining lolol
 
1nce- I hope that you just missed your surge! And if you didn't then at least a natural af would be nice!
I glad to hear your pup is doing good!!

drjo- any symptoms yet?

klabro- how are you feeling?

Taima- glad to hear your doctor is working with you! Fx that you catch a sticky bean when your hubby is home!

Florida- has your doctor tested to see if there is a medical condition that is causing the mc's? :(
Also, do you mind if I ask how long your prenancies lasted? I feel like they are missing something that can be fixed to help your next pregnancy.

teeny- As everyone say, you aren't out until the witch arrives :) each pregnancy is different and this one's bfp may not show up as early as the others.

afm- bleeding stopped completely on Tuesday. I had some cramping but I think my cervix was just adjusting or something. My cp was low soft and open and now is high soft open. I had some twinges that felt like ovulation cramps/pains and it seems that my hubby has had a sudden and STRONG increase in sex drive!
The other night he insisted on a shower together and we had some bd fun and then last night he ended up sleep bding me xD When we were done he asked me how it got started because he woke up right in the middle of it lmao!! This was a very nice and surprising first!
