Thanks Lesley thats good to know...was dreading my period! With my PCOS I rarely get periods, maybe 2 per year so they are always a bit of a shock anyway!!

Last provera tab tomm so I should expecting AF within a few days??
Also, if this round doesnt work (please let it please let it) then how long would I wait before starting provera again? forgot to ask my GP on the long list of questions I had for him! AM thinking if I do ovulate and dont get preg then my period will come on its own hopefully, but if not will I be told to take provera again to induce it?

I didnt realise how slowly days go when you are TTC! I seem to do a mental count up of the babymaths a hundred times a day, cant believe I have only been taking provera for 4 days seems like a month, and I'm only on my first round! I cant imagine how long the tww will feel......

Hope 100mg works for you Lesley. Good luck everyone!!

Hello, sorry to jump in! i was after some advice, i was on clomid for 3 months but my appointment for further prescription of clomid was after my third cycle so i was forced to take a break..im now cd38 and no signs of af at all! I had 28,32,32 day cycles on clomid and before that they could go to cd37 but not over that..
Just wondered if anyone else had a month off and how it affected your cycle? also i always have sore bbs since ov to af, but this month nothing!
Thanks so much, and good luck everyone xxx

lola- i always get af 4 days after last provera pill.

i took it in december, feb, march (to have period before a hsg), and then in may i was to start the clomid so i took the provera again. to clomid worked in june, so i didn't have to take the provera to get a period...i ovulated and got one on my own finally.

the doc always tells me to call him every 30 days to see what he wants me to do as far as the provera and clomid. hope this helps!

started clomid on 50mg no joy for three cycles. now on 100mg and progesterone herbal remedies and pregnancare conception tablets. Is anyone in the same boat?? Im getting fed up here!!! x

Same boat here with the 50mg now on my 3rd round o 100mg,currently waiting or AF

 

[lolageorgia]

Oh fab good to know...last provera pill today

Just going to be waiting for AF now....dont think I have ever been desperate to see my period! Cant believe how slowly time goes in the TTC world...

Just ANOTHER quick question if anyone can help...
I know that PCOS cn cause false OPK results...how will I know when I will ovulate? am charting BBT but I will only find out if too late

Where is everyone else in their cycle?x

so mad at hubby! today is cd 14. he is going away until sunday. i took my nephew to my moms so we could dtd and he left the house! and told me stop bugging him about it. i quit. i'm tired of begging him. i'm not taking the clomid next month. i'm too stressed out about it all. he pretty much threw this month out the door. we haven't dtd since cd 11, which was prob way too early. i hate men!

 

[missangie]

oh Lesley, I am sorry your hubby is being like that. Men just dont really seem to understand this process or how to make a baby it seems like no matter how many times you tell them. I am sorry you two arent on the same page this time around

 

[LesleyL]

yeah he's been good up until now but he is being a real a**hole lately. i feel like i wasted a whole round of my clomid. i only have 3 more months then i'm not allowed anymore

omg lesley I cant believe that! thats not fair. Can you have a talk with him? my hubby was not co-operating the first few months (not as bad as what yours done, just saying he was tired when we needed to dtd) and I told him look you have to do what I say when I say it, otherwise lets not do this. He wants kids so since then has done everything I say. Im sure it can be hard on our hubbies and we dont know it, but to me theres no excuse for your hubby to do that....you are taking drugs and so he needs to take this seriously! I hope that things work out so you dont have to miss this month

 

[missangie]

I really just dont think men understand it all. I told my hubby we needed to BD cause I got a pos OPK and he said to me "once we get prego you need to wine and dine me after all of this" or something to that effect. I blew up on him reminding him that Im the one that goes to all the dr appts, has all these random procedures and exams and blood draws and takes pills to get a period and then pills to hopefully ovulate and pees on sticks every day and all he does is have sex when I say we need to. We both were laughing after I got done saying all of that and I think he got my point ;-)

Hello Ladies!!
I was wondering if you minded if I joined it?? This is my first cycle on clomid A little background: We have been ttc since feb and I have stage 4 endometriosis.. I have had 2 previous surgery's and June 30th I had an HSC and HSG. I did not ovulate from feb to May, then finally in June I did for the first time with soy.. Unfortunately that ended in a chemical.. So doctor decided to go straight to clomid since I don't have time on my side with the endo (I am only 21 years old though).. Anyways, I June 30th was cd1 for me and I took clomid cd3-7 100mg.. I had my ultrasound Wed cd14 and got a positive IC and cbd smiley face wed evening.. My doctor said I should ovulate yesterday or today!
He are my results from ultrasound:

lining- 9.2mm

right ovary
2.3cm follicle = 23mm
2.0 cm follicle = 20mm
around 5cm cyst = 50mm

left ovary
two 1.8cm follicles = 18mm
1.6cm follicle = 16mm

I was wondering if anyone else had ultrasounds and if we could compare results??
The numbers were all new to me and it took awhile to understand what it meant
Sorry for long post!!

 

[missangie]

hey prettynpink, I know you from the other clomid thread Seems like we are on the same schedule almost, I am CD16 and got a pos OPK today. I wish I got an ultrasound so I would know where my bodies at and so that we could compare results but I dont get monitored at all, just a blood test CD21. Do you chart your temps??

Hello missangie!! I saw your name when I posted and knew that you were on the other clomid thread too
I did get the ultrasound done because it was my first cycle of clomid, I am not getting the blood test though:/ So we each get one important thing done LOL. I tried to temp several times, but I don't consistently.. I know that the normal for me would be between 97.2-97.7.. The last 5 days have been this
cd 12 97.3
cd 13 97.2
cd 14 97.3
cd 15 97.5
cd 16 96.9

I guess today could have been ovulation day?? Not quite sure.. But I know if my temps go above 98 then I ovulated rite??

 

[LesleyL]

at least you can talk to your hubby! i tried that. he is saying now that if it happens, it happens. back in dec when the dr was talking about the clomid he said he would do whatever it takes. i think i have alot to do with it, because i obsess about babies. time of lovemaking, if i am 1 day late for af, EVERYTHING! i try not to over-talk about it with him, but its hard when you want something so bad. thank god i have you ladies to keep me sane! thank you so much.

he told me he'd be gone 10 minutes...that was about 2 and a half hours ago. so forget about bd tonight because he goes to work in an hour.

 

[missangie]

Prettynpink: yep, your temp should be higher after you ovulate. I think they say ovulation is confirmed after three days of high temps, I THINK?

Lesley, you are right it is SO hard when its something you want SO badly that is why I am on these boards are a god send. I am always hear to listen if ya need to talk If today is out of the question, hopefully you can BD Sunday and still catch that egg!!

 

[lolageorgia]

Oh Lesley I'm sorry!
Men are so selfish sometimes. I know the whole process is hard on them too but he neeeds to understand that you only get a certain amount of tries with Clomid. Perhaps wait a while till you have both calmed down and then try explaining it to him, you might eeven bd in tim to catch that egg

Maybe a month off will do you both good, its so hard not to obsess over every little thing and its puts so much pressure on both of you and your relationship. Could you maybe go away for the weekend or go for dinner or something and not talk about babies or sex or anything? SO hard when its constantly on your mind xxx

Hi ladies, I hope you don't mind if I join your thread? Really need someone to talk to who truly understands what I'm going through. If I hear any more people say "just relax, it'll happen when it's supposed to" I think I'll scream!! However deep down, I know there is a lot of truth in what they're saying.

Anyhow, I've been TTC for 2 years. Both myself and DH have had all the necessary tests and both of us are healthy and normal. My cycle is 27/28 days, I've never missed a period. After lap and dye test done last December we were recommended to try Clomid to assist. First round in February, 100mg days 2-6. On day 12 went to clinic for internal scan, 3 large follicles and had hcg shot to ovulate. Cramping from shot for a few hrs but no other side effects. AF showed up 15dpo. 2nd and 3rd cycle, only 1 follicle of correct size, AF appeared 15dpo both times. DH and I decided to have a couple months off before final try. It paid off, 3 large follicles again. Got to 15dpo, no AF. Tested BFN. waited another day, tested again BFN. 19dpo brown cm on wiping only. Nothing again for two days. One final HPT, BFN again. The next day light bleeding. Nothing overnight at all. Managed to wear only pantie liners! One week and one day after AF was expected still brown cm on wiping. Breasts still tender?

Any ideas anyone? If I didn't have monitoring and the hcg shot I would assume I ovulated late.... But I'm really confused. Maybe I've completely stressed myself out and upset the cycle? However I didnt feel stressed until after AF was overdue and BFN.

sorry to ramble but would appreciate any info.

Xxxxxx

but we all obsess, I tell my hubby just to ignore it. One time we were BDing one time and (TMI!!!) he released a LOT and I said oh no its not fertile time!!! he just laughs. and sometimes i go on at him about why he doesnt seem as interested etc. It sounds like your hubby is having a hard time with it...so perhaps ask him how he is feeling rather than just nagging about BDing or appearing obssessed about it? Im hoping you ended up getting in a quciky last night!!

 

[LesleyL]

haha thanks ladies. no quickie though

he was preoccupied with a fishing trip he left for this am until tomorrow.

oh well!
