Provera and Clomid buddies?

[Lily7]

Hi kat, well I have decided that today's flow was just too much to ignore so we are counting today as cd1 and not finishing the course of provera, I will take my clomid starting tomorrow. Thanks for asking, how are you?

 

[KatCrazy]

Oh good glad it's sorted. I was fine until I decided my bedtime reading would be about the general anaesthetic ! It just freaked me out that around 1 in a 1000 become aware during an operation, I know it's obviously highly unlikely this will happen to me but still ........

 

[Lily7]

Oh dont Kat! You should never read stuff like that! I am one to talk because I do things like that too, just try to put it out of your mind, like you say, it is HIGHLY unlikely, prob about the same chance of winning the lottery! lol

 

[KatCrazy]

I know I'm just being a bit silly! Lol. Will be fine I'm sure. X

 

[KatCrazy]

Ohh. Hmm. I would just push the Clomid back a day then.

I'm good. Nothing much happening here. Got my dr's appt Wed to discuss hsg results/surgery.

Hi Lisa, just wondering how your appointment went?

Hey ladies...I am on my first cycle with clomid 50 mg. Today is the day after my first positive OPK and I am in agony with ovulation pains. I usually get them pretty bad but it is worse than it ever has been. Mine is centralized and not on one side. I feel bloated, crampy, and it intensifies when I walk or go to the bathroom. Has anyone else experienced this?? I am confused as to why it is all over my abdomen instead of one one side. Also, my RE is only doing day 21 bloods to check my progesterone and is not monitoring me via ultrasound...Anyone have these pains and found out it was normal...I'm afraid of overstimulation syndrome!

Hi there, Welcome to the thread.

I have never had the pains all over my abdomin, usually just on the sides where I imagine my ovaries are. When is your scan with them or have you had it already? Try not to stress out and if you are worried, ring them to see if they can scan you sooner rather than later.

 

[Lily7]

Lisa, how did today go?

Hey girls. Thanks for thinking of me. Appt went fine, just basically a consultation about surgery. Looks like my surgery will be scheduled for sometime in January. It will be a Friday which works out good, I can take the Friday off and be back by Monday. My obgyn is doing the surgery, and will be able to remove it if it's a polyp or a fibroid on a stalk. If it's a fibroid on the outside of my uterus, it will need to be taken care of by a specialist, but my doctor said there's usually a specialist floating around the hospital on Fridays, so she can call someone in if that's the case, and hopefully save me from having a second surgery.

thats good Lisa, it all sounds very positive

We are January surgery buddies! Are you going to be taking any meds until then or is it a bit of time off? I wonder why mine requires about 2 weeks off work I wouldn't think they would be very different. Is your via laparoscopy?

Hi welcome, I didn't really get any feeling before clomid as I wasn't ovulating but with clomid I would get a few niggles on the side, nothing like what you have described. I would say if it's a lot worse that you usually experience just to call the docs and see what they advise, hope it's all ok, kat.

 

[inpghttc]

Thanks ladies...I called my doc and they said it is a common complaint and means my ovaries are stimulated. I actually have gotten some form of ovulation pains since I came off the pill in June. This was just worse than usual. I took advil and it fades away last night and was gone this morning...whew! BD'ing was tough last night!

 

[Jaydey89]

Hiya i managed to find you haha!!

Im just waiting for an appointment to come through they said 4-6 weeks, I hope the letter will be here soon and they dont mean the letter will be 4-6 weeks telling me when the app is!

Anyway how are you all doing? Is Clomid going well?

Speak soon
xxxxxx

 

[Lily7]

Hi jaydey, glad you found us! I hope your letter comes soon with your appt, I think it will

afm cd3 and day 2 of clomid, nothing really to report a couple of tiny niggles and thats it, no hot flashes nothing and I am even taking it late morning now to see if that makes a difference as I usually take it at night and well that hasnt worked so far.

 

[Lisa92881]

Kat - Hooray for a January surgery buddy!! No meds or anything until then, basically everything is on hold until this is taken care of. I hope to start Clomid soon after my surgery though!! Mine isn't a lap, it's a hysteroscopy and D&C....so they don't have to make an incision, they go through the hole that's already there. I guess even if it's a fibroid on the outside of the uterus, they would get to it by making an incision on the inside of the uterus. That must be why the recovery time is so different. Are things kind of on hold for you as well until then, or continuing as normal??

Yep on hold, very nice and relaxed not thinking constantly about TTC 24/7! Not preventing though as u never know miracles can happen. X

 

[Lisa92881]

Yeah. I wouldn't prevent in your position either. We are, since I'd hate to have a mc because it couldn't implant or whatever.

Hi All! Was hoping I could join this group! I am on cd 6 and am doing clomid 3-7... Tried it last month with no luck and this month we will do an IUI if all the stars align and I get a pos opk next sun (doubtful). This month stinks with thanksgiving and I can't get any u/s to check follicles with the office closed...So we are relying on poas and faith! Im new to bnb and am always looking for any info you all have too...

 

[KateLisbeth]

Hi Everyone! I would love to join this group. I am on CD 4 and just starting my first round of Clomid. My DH and I have been TTC for about a year now with no luck. I have had PCOS for about 10 years. Looking for any advice/support you lovely ladies can offer! Thanks so much!
