Need a Clomid buddy!

[1nceUponATime]

Hey everyone- I'm fresh off a month long break. I had to do birth control to induce a period because I was getting an infection from not having a period in a while. It was around a 95 day cycle No ovulation. This month I am trying Soy Isoflavones.......I just have really nothing to lose. Clomid didn't work, Vitex didn't work or didn't have enough time to work. So, might as well try this. I am on CD 6. I'm going to call to make an appointment to get a referral to the RE in May.

I am using OPKs this cycle....but I am hoping not to get as stressed as other cycles, or disappointed if I don't get a positive OPK.

How is everyone doing?

I'm on day 6 of provera...

 

[drjo718]

AF showed yesterday on CD 55. Surgery is scheduled for the 15th. So glad to finally be moving forward. I'm not sure if af came bc of provera (in which case it took 9 days after my last dose) or if it came bc it was 14 days after ovulation, which is my normal LP. So I don't know if I'll need provera again since my cycles are long and unpredictable or if maybe I'll ovulate earlier. Either way, I may not have another chance to ttc until the beginning of july. We're planning a honeymoon in hawaii in october, so I'm hoping everything works out timing-wise.

How is everyone else?

I'm taking provera now to induce a period. I'm always back at square one. I wont have an appointment with an RE till probably September or later because of getting a new job. I'm disappointed and frustrated, and I just don't know what else to do.

 

[drjo718]

1nce, did you get AF yet?

I had my surgery today to remove the fibroid. All went well except it feels like I'm peeing daggers (I'm guessing this is just due to irritation of the urethra during the procedure) and I have a massive headache. I took one vicodin and now I feel nauseous, and still have a headache. I even asked for weaker narcotics since the percocet makes me really sick..but I still feel pukey. I didn't even need it for cramps lol

 

[1nceUponATime]

Not yet. I am five days past last provera pill and I really thought it was coming, but my body hates me that much that provera doesn't normally work for me.

Aww that sucks you feel so badly! Get better quick! Hopefully this gets you pregnant quicker!!

 

[BABTTC123]

Drjo- I hope you feel better soon! That can't be too fun :/
What round of Femera are you on now?

Once- I'm sorry to hear that af is being a b**** again
My advice is to befriend someone who has a very regular cycle and hang out with her EVERYDAY!!!
I was on cd 50 and then was made to go on a week long trip to Oregon for work with one of my bosses (the female one) She started her period and I had no signs at all but wound up starting mine! It was very light and lasted a week but my doctor said to count it as a period.


afm- I had stopped taking ALL of my meds after my last miscarriage, my depression got pretty bad and is still pretty bad so I'm not expecting to fall pregnant any time soon. I was taking Metformin 1000 mg, prenatals and vitamin b complex. I just gave up I guess.
My doctor offered to start me on Clomid again but I am hesitant. As much as I want a baby, I also don't want to endure another miscarriage. It just makes everything worst...
I suppose all I can do is hope that it will happen naturally without us even trying, and if it doesn't then I will have to see if I will be ready to try again in the future.

Sorry to hear your struggles, 1nce and bab. This day one year ago was the BD that resulted in my one and only pregnancy. Trying not to think about it too much. I'm not on meds for ovulation right now since there was no point in wasting it on a cycle when I would be on pelvic rest. I'll probably need provera again on CD 35 and we'll see if that works. Then I'll start the 3rd round of femara.

 

[1nceUponATime]

I feel like I've been depressed lately too. I try to fight it because there are so many other wonderful things happening in my life, but I have some very bad days with it. Just googling the costs of aggressive infertility treatments sends me into a tail spin. Why can't my body just do what I want !!

 

[Taima]

Hey everyone.
I'm back to ttc. I'm 11 dpo and I got bfn on wondfo preg test yesterday at 10 dpo. I am just ready to get AF and start clomid 50 mg. my doctor didn't allow me to take them last month since I was traveling. My ovulation was so late CD 28. Clomid, here I come!

How's everyone doing?
I'm sorry for your struggles bab and 1nce! I hope all our problems can be solved soon!

 

[drjo718]

Welcome back taima! I hope clomid does the trick for you.

 

[Taima]

Thanks drjo. How are you healing from your surgery ?
I'm curious you mentioned you got pregnant only once a year ago and couldn't get preg again? How long are your cycles?

Hope you get a miracle soon

I feel fine from surgery. Really I felt fine the next day. Didn't even take any pain meds after surgery day.
Last year I got pregnant unexpectedly my first cycle off birth control. We had actually used protection all but 1 time...and that was all it took. But then I miscarried at 6 weeks. I have never had normal cycles. They're anywhere from 2 to 5 months apart and random. So I was started on clomid last fall and still ended up with a 74 day and a 61 day cycle. It didn't work. That's when I was sent to the fertility clinic. They did a bunch of testing and found the high prolactin and PCOS, which I had always suspected. They did an hsg which showed clear tubes but a shadow in my uterus, so I had a saline sonogram and that showed the fibroid that I was finally able to have removed. I did try 2 cycles of femara before I knew I needed surgery and I did ovulate with that on days 19 and 17. I havent taken it since Feb bc the doctor said the fibroid would either prevent a pregnancy or cause another miscarriage. I have been taking inositol, although not consistently, and I had a 55 day cycle before the surgery. Currently cd 26 and waiting to see if I ovulate. If not by day 35 I'll try provera.

Whew, it's a long story!

 

[Taima]

Aww it seems like a tough journey. Hopefully now that your fibroid is removed and you get AF you can get back on femara since it helped you ovulate around CD 17- 19 that's great. Hopefully you will then get your BFP and a sticky bean

I got AF yesterday and I'm CD 2 now. I will take my first ever clomid pill 50 mg tomorrow CD3-7.lets see what happens. The last cycle was crazy 45 days but understandable due to the stress of moving. 5th month TTc now and I know I shouldn't be going near clomid but I see my ovulation is on the late side CD 20+ so why wait? I'll just try one cycle and see how it goes.

 

[TLK]

How long are your cycles when taking clomid?

 

[1nceUponATime]

I have an appointment at the fertility clinic July 2nd. Not much going on other than that. I'm on a birth control reset AGAIN.

 

[Taima]

How long are your cycles when taking clomid?

As of now I'm CD 15 and I have a mature follicle (and 2 others that I don't think will reach maturity) ready to come down anytime now. I will see the doctor today to see if I ovulated or not. But I should ovulate anytime from CD16-18 if I haven't already. I'll update you when I confirm ovulation.

Good luck 1nce on your app with the fertility specialist I hope it works out for you soon. Probably they'll give you injectable meds and that'll be all you need.

 

[drjo718]

I finished provera 2 nights ago and started spotting tonight. Hoping af will be here tomorrow so I can start ttc again. My specialist seemed optimistic I could conceive in the next 3 cycles with femara.

 

[Taima]

Hey
I am now 10 dpo and holding off from testing as I'm not in the mood for a BFN now. So this is my first month of clomid 50mg days 3-7 and I ovulated one egg the night of CD 17. Now just waiting.

Drjo how are you? Where you at in your cycle?? Yea I definitely agree with your doctor you'll soon have your sticky bean with femara if your ovulating on it. Baby dust and best wishes to you

I hope we all get our BFPs soon. This thread has been very quiet.
