Lady- I think you will be fine when I was first put on clomid way back when about four years ago they didn't do an HSG on me either until after three months on it. Although they do lab work to see if I was O'ing on it.

R&G- Wow it is good to see you around again. I hope you had a great vaction. I am counting down the days until mine lol. Well we could be cycle buddies this cycle.

Courtney- Wow that is great news. I hope you get them hun. What Cd are you on now.

Took my last Clomid pill last night! I didn't really have any major symptoms--I tended to get a mild headache in the afternoons and I had a major hot flash in the middle of the night yesterday.

We start BDing every other day starting Friday! My doctor said to do it for a week and we should be pretty much covered. Of course, we've already gotten a head start

I've been very bad about taking my temperture in the morning--I keep forgetting! I did it when we first started TTCing and I was so good but now I just can't seem to get back into the swing of things. It didn't help that last week I was on a work trip and was in a different time zone. I think that was enough to mess my whole chart up!

Though reading some of these posts have me a bit worried--is it normal to have an HSG to rule out a blocked tube before starting Clomid? My doctor said that if we don't get PG by the third month of using Clomid (taking into account that I'm ovulating, of course), then she'd perform an HSG and also a SA test. But it seems to be the consensus on here that you usually do that first?

One of my recent posts mention that I am going to be taking Clomid for 3 months with Hcg injections to induce O and if that doesn't work, THEN I will get my HSG and DH will do another SA. So you are not the only one who is going to be doing it in that order.

Courtney- Wow that is great news. I hope you get them hun. What Cd are you on now.

I am on CD11 and trying to get in touch with my specialist's office so that I can get the order sent in for my ultrasound. I am getting a bit PO'd because no one is answering and I have to get this scheduled before all the available appointments get filled and my time runs out!

 

[redrose27]

R&G I am on CD3 today Just started taking the Soy today so we will see. You aren't that far ahead of me so we can be cycle buddies.

Courtney- I would be mad as well. I hope you get in touch with them soon. I would be going down there if i couldn't get a hold of any one. I really hope this is your cycle you so deserve it.

Every one deserve it this month. But I hope some one gets it for sure.

Girls - Im really happy I went to see my GP for another Metforimin prescription and he said he'd be happy to give me a Progesterone test on CD21!!
So I booked that for next Thursday - CD22 for me!!!

So Ill know for sure whether I ov'ed or not

 

[redrose27]

Oh wow maria that is great news hun. I can feel the BFPs coming this month.

 

[Born2BeAMommy]

Hey girls! i'm wondering if any of you have used the Clear Blue Digital Ovulation Tests...I know I read that if you have PCOS they may not be accurate....but if you're taking clomid do they work?? Curious to know if you have or if you have used any ovulation predictor kits and if so and they worked, which one. Thanks ladies, happy baby-making to you all =)

Quaver- I know this might be personal, but have you been BDing? I see that you did about 5 days ago, but it doesn't look like anything since then. I know that your DH has semen issues, but wouldn't every 2 days be ok?

We did BD on Friday (CD12) but nothing came out so I didn't mark it.
Every 2 days is impossible, couldn't even do every 3 days
I might ask the doc for v i a g r a next time I see him.

So by that explanation, I am guessing that DH not only has problems with semen, but also with erection. I'm curious why they would give you Clomid without giving DH something to help too. Unless of course he is on something too.

I'm assuming you will be BDing tomorrow then? If so, I REALLY hope you will O then too and everything else will fall into place (semen, etc.). FX'd for you hun

I agree with Courtney, hun. My Dr said that ideally everything else should be checked before putting you on Clomid (like tubes and sperm). However, because we've not been ttc a year DH can't have SA yet So we did this sophisticated home test which gave us hope that he's OK - but we still don't know for sure.

Still, if you BD'ed on CD12, in theory swimmers should survive for 48 hours so I think you'll be OK until CD15. Best of luck

Thanks for your replies Courtney & Maria.

I've fallen out with DH at the moment (since Saturday), so no
Dr did offer to prescribe something (v i a g r a?), so we may get that next time if we are still together...

Hmm...I'm starting to have some very low cramping, too low to be AF type cramps. I hope that's a good sign that I'm going to ovulate? I can't even remember what my body feels like during ovulation anymore!

How's your ewcm?

 

[redrose27]

Born- They should work if you are on clomid. The digi ones are the best ones for O for us PCOS girls.

Lisa-I hope you get your clomid and you start making progress hun. That would be great.

 

[redrose27]

Quaver-
Sorry to hear about your and DH falling out. I had one of those not long ago as well. I hate to fight with him it sucks. I hope every thing gets better hun.

Lady- That is great news hun. I hope you gett that eggie.

 

[MariaF]

Quaver - Im so sorry you had a falling out I think this whole ttc business adds sooo much to the stress. I snap at hubby so often and then hate myself for it. Most of the time he just takes it as a trooper but there are times when we have a major row. To the point of me doubting whether I want a baby or not...
I really hope you manage to sort it our between the two of you

Lady - I had some cramps around CD11 on Clomid They came to nothing so far. But I hope it's ovulation for you!

Lisa - how did the appointment go? I really hope you got the Clomid

Nothing new from me - Im very dry down there and BBT still low so no ovulation in sight yet I have my next acupuncture appointment tomorrow but given Im unlikely to be ovulating it's probably pointless...

Hmm...so far non-existant. But I haven't really been checking lately. Hopefully it will start up soon--if not, I have preseed!

Maria i got Clomid!!! Yey!!!! I just need AF to show and then i can start. If it hasn't shown in 4 weeks which considering i only have 2-3 AF's a year i don't think it will, they are going to force it.

I'm so optimistic and relieved i have some progress and something to look forward to i could burst!!

They have started me straight on 100mg as im so irregular the FS said she didn't want to waste months giving me 50mg as the chances of my being hypersensitive was slim due to my history

It was so weird at the FS. There was 3 of us in there and i was the last to go in. When i got to the Pharmacy the same three of us were sat waiting for our prescription and just sorta smiled knowingly to each other. FX for us all x
