Good afternoon ladies

so my visited me on Saturday afternoon and last nite i took my 1st 2 tabs of my 3rd round of Fertomid (generic of Clomid).

for all the clomid ladies

hi Lesley!

Yes- every day up until ovulation then I get a three day break. After ovulation I start taking the progesterone and she checks my levels to ensure I've ovulated and how my follicles are doing.

First round I have two mature at the time of ovulation and she said they like to see two or three.

I know the chances are low on your first round of clomid but I've got my hopes up and trying to stay positive, but dont want to be gutted...

Its so hard ladies, my thoughts are with you!!

 

[MonkeysGirl]

cutedimples: keep your chin up...its the worst when you first get it thinking you have to do it all over again....but our time will come!

 

[Asryellah]

Cutedimples sorry for your af..hopefully THIS cycle is THE one

[MonkeysGirl]

well i just did an OPK and got two lines. so i took the plunge and did an HPK clear blue digital and not pregnant at 10DPO.

if i dont get AF before wednesday i still have my blood test and im hoping that its just to early to show...

 

[LesleyL]

i think i'm going to test with ic tomorrow am. i have been so crampy and bloated....dunno if its af coming or what. i'd be 2 days before missed af tomorrow. i'll give it a go.

 

[missangie]

good luck lesley!!!!

I just got my cd21 progesterone results, 20.8! so excited however I really dont feel pregnant this cycle. I woke up today and my face has broken out SO bad. Pretty sure thats a sign of AF

 

[LoloShells]

What level is your progesterone supposed to be at or above?

 

[missangie]

my doctor said they like to see above 10 for ovulation on non medicated cycles and above 15 for medicated cycles

 

[LoloShells]

Oh ok, so do super high numbers mean something significant? For instance I saw one lady said hers was 38. Any reason hers would be so high?

 

[missangie]

I found this chart:

Mid-Luteal Phase 5+ ng/ml As mentioned above, a level of 5 indicates some kind of ovulatory activity, though most doctors want to see a level over 10 on unmedicated cycles, and over 15 with medications. There is no mid-luteal level that predicts pregnancy.

First Trimester 10-90 ng/ml Average is about 20 at 4 weeks LMP, and 40 at 14 weeks LMP. It is important to note that while a higher progesterone level corresponds with higher pregnancy success rates, one cannot fully predict outcome based on progesterone levels. Progesterone supplementation is unlikely to help if started after a positive pregnancy test.

Second Trimester 25-90 ng/ml Average is 40 at beginning, 90 at end.

Third Trimester 49-423 ng/ml

I have definitely heard of high levels not ending up with BFP so I dont think that high necessarily equals BFP

hey ladies took an ic with fmu and neg. it was a wondfo. not sure what the sensitivity is on those. anyone know??? i still have cramping. probably just af. we will see if she comes in 2 days. i have a frer, but i was saving it for when i actually missed a period.

Ladies

Please don't give up hope, I have been on the Clomid journey with success.

1st Cycle - nothing
2nd Cycle - BFP but m/c at 5 weeks
3rd Cycle - BFP but m/c @ 5.5 weeks
4th cycle - BFP & now 15 wks pregnant!

It was a rollercoaster but worth it in the end, so far all is going well so I just wanted to pop in & give all you ladies some hope that it can work !

Good Luck & lots of BabyDust
xx

So I had a visit from the old witch today

My lutheal phase was only 10 or 11 days, so I guess clomid is not the right med for me. I have told my gyn about my worries of lutheal phase shortness and she said clomid should patch that too..well, not for me then!
And also it got my lining so thin...

In this cycle I wont use clomid, cos I'll be out of country in the time the ultracheck should've been done..but hopefully my lining will get thick and I'll get something else to support my l-phase.

Better luck to everyone else !!!!

 

[LesleyL]

hi all. still having bloating. gassy as all h*ll annndddd cramping. af is supposed to come on the 28th. it kills me to wait

 

[Asryellah]

Oh my!!! I just noticed missangies ticker!! Congratulations!!!!
that's so awesome!!

Oh and btw about that prog.test, I had it done in my early cycles of ttc:n and it was cd26 -> 31 which showed that I did ovulate. But that can also change during different cycles.

Hi all,

I though I would join you on here - I've just taken my first round of Clomid (days 2 - 6) and am now on day 9 - so nearly time!

I've posted on a different thread, but I'm a bit concerned that my new fertility doc (I moved areas) does not want me back to scan my ovaries - have any of you had this? How will he know if its working or not? I'm due to have my blood taken on day 21 (to see if I've ovulated I guess - seem to have had this test a million times!), but other than that, he just siad to book an appointment for 5 months, which we will hopefully be able to cancel if we get pregnant...

I've also had no side effects whatsoever so i'm worried that clomid hasn't done anything to me at all!! My dos said to from days 10 - 14, but I think to be on the safe side we'll do an day either side too - it's all so scientific!!

Just looking for a bit of reassurance as I have been through a lot recently and have no idea if clomid will work for me! Congrats to all of you who have had a recently and fingers crossed for the rest of us!!

 

[LesleyL]

missangie...congrats!!! so happy for you!!!


another today af due in 2 days...

 

[lolageorgia]

Lesley dont give up hope....its not over till the witch shows! Did you do an early test?x
