hey april. not sure about the progesterone??? i'm sure they can give you something for it though. i know they even have progesterone cream at the store you can use.

missangie-so glad your hsg went well. clomid is the next step. good luck! did your husband/boyfriend have semen analysis yet?

yep, hubby had SA but at our last appt the dr didnt really give us details. said that the results were okay. not GREAT but definitely not bad and he didnt think it was necessary to do a second one or to be worried about it... Ive requested a copy of the results just havent gotten them yet.

 

[LesleyL]

that is good. then the doc should start you on clomid. my husband refused the sa because he is terrified of the doctor! i finally talked my doc into giving me the clomid script- i'm praying once i get my cycles straightened out that there is nothing wrong with husband's semen. i'll be happy just to ovulate this month and have a chance.

Hi ladies. I'm looking for some advice. Does clomid make normal pms much worse? I am on my second cycle of 50mg and both months I've felt lousy before af. This month I'm on cd 21 and feel bloated and as though I have indigestion. Lot of abdominal discomfort too. Mentioned it to the fs nurse last week but she seemed to think I was reacting fine to the drug and levels were ok so don't think it's ohss. Any thoughts?

 

[LesleyL]

hi minno! i've read that the side effects of clomid are much like pms/pg symptoms. i only get hot flashes from it and occasional trouble sleeping. everyone reacts differently.

cd 15 still neg opks i'm ready to just thrown those things out the window. i hate them! next month i'm demanding an u/s or blood work to take the guessing out of things.

awww hope it happens soon! I ovulate anywhere up to CD18, how about you in previous months?
I definitely would insist on monitoring, it really does take out all the guesswork. Im back tomorrow morning as no LH surge and will probably have a trigger shot so the eggs dont mature too much.
good luck!!

I have really low progesterone. With my last two cycles on clomid i was around the 2 mark.

If you ovulate your progesterone should increase (its the hormone released after ovulation and is need to support the pregnancy from what I have read into it). So a low progesterone level would suggest your not ovulating which the clomid should fix.

I am on cd10 on 3rd round at 150mg starting to do the baby dance regularly fingers crossed ovulation happens this time round

 

[LesleyL]

i don't ovulate, so i don't know what cd i would if i did. i kept asking the doc if he could monitor me this cycle, and he just kinda blew it off and said we will next cycle if i don't fall pg this one what a poohead.

Hi all
New gal here, can you all let me no if you get clomid from your doctor or from the consultant at the hospital. I no i have pcos for many yrs. 2 yrs since i last saw consultant, he said i have to lose weight b4 he gives me clomid.
Has anyone else been told to lose weight.
Vic

[LesleyL]

hi vic. i have heard that from other girls that they had to lose weight first. i weigh about 200 lbs, and doc still gave it to me. i had to get it from my ob/gyn.

 

[LesleyL]

i went out and bought some answer opks.....haven't gotten a positive yet. i have af-like dull cramping. right sided more than left. wondering if it is coming soon??? sure hope so.......

 

[yazzy]

Lesley - fingers crossed O is just around the corner for you...I really hope it works this month.

AF got me today so tomorrow I start 100mg clomid and blood test on cd21 again...positive thoughts this is a good month as 50mg clomid didn't work for me.

 

[AprilShowers1]

Does clomid make your period come later? I normally have a 28 or 29 day cycle with 5 days of spotting before af starts. I'm not having any spotting yet and af is supposed to start tomorrow. Maybe clomid has fixed the spotting issue.

I'm not sure what DPO I am but I can tell I'm in it because I have very sore boobies/nipples and back pain. Maybe around CD4-5?

Wow Sat will be here before you know it! How are you feeling about this cycle?

It's been.. alright. I was feeling pretty sick with it but def didn't feel as much abdominal discomfort like I did on 50 mg.

 

[caz & bob]

i am hun 12dpo testing Saturday if no af x x x

 

[beanhunter]

I'm 10dpo. Not sure when I'll test. All sorts of symptoms but trying not to get my hopes up.

 

[LesleyL]

yazzy- good luck this month. it sucks so bad to get your hopes up with the clomid. i hear such good success stories with it, then it doesn't work!! uurrgghh! frustrating.

i am calling my doc thurs if i don't get positive opk by then (cd19) to see if he will do bloods friday or monday for me. i doubt he will because he is stubborn, but it is worth a shot.

april.....i guess if you o later in your cycle like alot of ppl do on the clomid, your period would come late???? just a thought, cause im not sure

 

[LoloShells]

Af finally showed today so I'll start my first round of Clomid on 6/25 (days 5-9)
Yay! Wish I could say not getting my hopes up but its just impossible not to!
