hi girls,

i am on my third cycle of clomid and today i got an US, the first since taking clomid.

they found a follicle of 16mm, they said it is too big as i am only on day7 of my cycle and the lining is still only 3mm. so they are not sure if it is a cyst or a big follicle... i also have 8 antral follicles on the same ovary and 13 on the other...

what do you think? did any of you get scanned in the beginning of the cycle? if so, did you have any big follicles and how thick was your lining?

thank you girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Want2bMum, I was scanned on cd10 and follicle was 13 or 14mm big which was ok, but my lining was only 4mm which wasnt so good as gyn said. Still keeping my hopes up that lining got thicker and strong by the time of ovulation cd16
My friend used clomid for one cycle but she had 30mm follicle by the time of ovulation which was way too big, and they started some other meds on her.

Hope everything works out fine with you anyway, do you have another scan in this cycle?

Good afternoon everybody....thought i would let u know where in my baby making process i am.

Me- 31 DH 29
DS born 10/05/2006
married 06/03/10
ttc since 01/2010
Was on depo provera for just over 3 and a half years
1st round of Fertomid 50 mg (generic of Clomid) (2-6) 05/2011, got AF (very faint) on the 27/05/2011
2nd round of Fertomid 50 mg x2 (3-7) 06/2011, Period was 4 days late took 2 BFN
Had terrible side effects like tender breasts, mood swings, insomnia, swollen abdomen, cramps and nausea.
got AF on the 26/06/2011 bt it literally lasted 2 days
Decided to skip a month of taking pills.
Visited my O&G on Saturday...had a sonar done. No cysts all clear. Left ovary was enlarged. Not sure what that meant. Dr prescribed another round of Fertomid. So waiting on my AF. Which is due on the 23/07/2011.

Hopefully i dont get my AF and i got BFP naturally. Otherwise my 3rd round of Fertomid will start. Wish me gud luck!!!!

hi yes, my next scan is on monday. i asked for it as i'd like to see how the situation progresses. today i received a letter form the fertility centre. it contained all the notes about what was discussed yesterday and the results of my ultrasound. there is written that the 13mm one is a developing follicle and not a cyst.... but yesterday they were not sure whether it was a cyst or a follicle... i don't know what to make of this!!!

overall the experience hasn't been pleasant, the ivf specialist seemed more like a drug rep than a doctor, he just wanted to sell rather than assess my situation...

anybody having treatment at the london women's clinic in harley street?

any advice or feedback would be very much appreciated as i am thinking on changing centre...

thank you

Whoop well done Lesley!

Well AF showed her face today so will be starting CLomid in 2 days YEAY!!!!

quick question...
If I take Clomid 3-7 how long do I wait after O before I go back on Provera, or will I AF naturally if I dont get PG? I dont ovulate on my own, so if I do ovulate then my period should come naturally in about 14days right? FX for BFP tho!!

CONFUSED

You should only need provera if you don't ovulate, which you can track with opks or a blood test checking for progesterone on cd21.

 

[lolageorgia]

Hey Lolo,
Sorry I should have been clearer, no I don't ovulate on my own, have just taken 5 days of provera and am on cd1 now so starting clomid in 2 days. So if this cycle I don't get pg I'm assuming that if clomid does cause me to ovulate then I will get my period in 14 ish days from O. Thing is I have PCOS so I don't know if I will be able to use opk. I'm just going to try and see what happens. If AF doesn't show I will assume I haven't o'd?
Thanks for your help! X

 

[LoloShells]

You can have blood drawn on cd 21 and they will be able to tell you based on your progesterone level, whether or not clomid made you ovulate. If they determine you did not ovulate, then you can take the provera to start your period.

sooo i dont know if i o'd this time around or not. last month, i could tell when it was happening cause i had alot of pain for like 2 hrs. this time, its cd 19 and nothing.

 

[Asryellah]

Babydust to you cutedimples

Lolageorgia, I took clomid days 3-7 and I o'ed on cd16. You should go test progesterone levels then you'll know if you o'd for sure. And poas later on the cycle on assumed 14dpo .I've no expericence on provera though..

 

[cutedimples]

Good morning all.

i am on cd25 without take any fertomid (generic of clomid) this month. I have tender breasts for the past 2 days. Hopefully my AF dont come and i got pregnant naturally or hopefully my AF is coming soon so that i can start my 3rd round of fertomid (generic of clomid).

Good luck to all thats on the clomid train.

Thnx again for the BABY DUST Asryellah.

morning girls no gym got to take my oh mum docs for bloods done then chill chill chill x x x

 

[yazzy]

Hi Caz, how are you doing? i'm 13dpo today, wondering whether to test tomorrow or just wait it out??!!!

 

[caz & bob]

i am waiting till monday or Tuesday hun fx its a nice bfp for us hun my cycles on clomid are 28 to 33 i am cd30 today wooppp x x x

 

[yazzy]

I'm cd31 today I would expect AF on Sunday but i've got an all day wedding Saturday and a Christening Sunday so I don't know what to do....part of me wants to wait it out...part of me is impatient. Maybe i'll just wait and if AF stays away i'll test Monday morning!

Thanks, I'm going to try OPK testing anyway, even tho doc said I might get false positive due to PCOS but have tested a few times when I know Im not ovulating and it has given negative readings, so I am hopeful for a true positive!
Im going to start OPK testing 4 days after last pill, CD11, but am hoping I wont O till after 12 as I am away CD10 and 11 so no BD!

Im so excited to start this journey but I know I shouldnt get my hopes up as there is no telling if Clomid will work....massively hopeful though!

BABYDUST TO ALL xxxxx
