Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[krissie328]

I hope you feel better today dogmommy!!

 

[krissie328]

I have been super crampy and unpleasant feeling the last couple of days. I am wondering if af wants to start sooner. I have had her show after 5-6 days of progesterone in the past. I am currently on day 4 so it is possible.

 

[AngelaALA]

Vankiwi that's great news I really hope they get darker FX that's amazing news you need to post some pics I need to see some line porn xx

Redrose gutted you didn't O but amazing news that there is still hope FX for you that it works xx

Dogmommy let's hope the cramping is a good sign last time I had severe cramping I had dropped three eggs so could mean multiples FX for you xx

Krissie here's hoping AF shows its face for you and you can start your journey again xx

Well today I went for follicle tracking they're not doing it next month with me not taking Clomid but it showed two dominant follicles one at 16mm on left side and one at 17mm on right side so I reckon I Od yesterday due to my temp rise today xx I discussed my fertility with her she basically said there is nothing wrong they can't find anything wrong with me or DH that's why it's unexplained infertility she said that she said that humans are bad at reproducing each cycle the average person only has,a 30% chance of conceiving so 70% it doesn't happen, we have only done three months on Clomid so are chances of conceiving are still good she did say though that there could be a chance that for some reason my egg and his sperm aren't balanced so they can't find eachother therefore don't meet but that is never found out until IVF treatment as they can't tell if that might be the case till then so we just got to keep going and hopefully it will happen xx

 

[RedRose19]

Yay sounds great angela ! Hopefully two big follies will mean a bfp!!

 

[dogmommy]

Thanks ladies! I rested most of the day and feeling better now. Still a lot of pressure down low. I'm wondering if it has to do with the estrogen and progesterone I'm taking. I should find out tomorrow when my beta test is.

Angela that's great news! Two follies without meds . Fingers crossed this is your month. Did you ever have an HSG done? I've heard that woman are very fertile afterwards.

 

[AngelaALA]

Whats a HSG xx

 

[dogmommy]

A hysterosalpingogram. The dr injects dye into your uterus and your tubes to check for any abnormalities.

 

[brandi91]

Good luck dogmommy! Glad you're feeling better.

Angela so glad you got some good news!!!! You're in another 2ww!!!

According to FF, I'm 8DPO. I had my highest temp this morning that I've had. I took a frer and first signal. Thought I saw a shadow of something on the first signal....I posted in the pregnancy test gallery. If you get bored, go check it out and let me know what you think! Lol.

Anyone else getting far in DPO?

 

[krissie328]

In one of my other threads one of the gals had an hsg this cycle and just got her bfp yesterday. I think they say it increases fertility for 3 months.

 

[AngelaALA]

Yes I had that guys it was one of my tests I had before Clomid and it all came back good no issues

Goodluck Brandi here's hoping the line gets darker for you FX

Dogmommy I hope you get a good result from your beta it sounds promising as when I dropped three eggs one month on Clomid the symptoms where similar to what your saying xx

Here's hoping redrose but I've dropped the follies in the past and got nothing so all I'm going to do this month is chill out focus on getting healthy I'm not buying any hpts at all I've got one digi left and that's it if AF is late by up to two days then I'll take that but before that I'm just going to chill out xx the great thing about temping though is Inow know the length of my LP which is 14 days so I know when AF is actually due xx

Krissie any sign of AF Yet xx

 

[krissie328]

Not really but I've been super cold which usually happens right before and the beginning on af so keeping my fx!

 

[brandi91]

Thanks Angela!!! I'm think it was just an evap. 9 DPO (according to FF), a large temp drop today, and this morning's test was stark white.

 

[AngelaALA]

Sorry to hear that brandi it's still very early days plus that could be an Implantation drop when is AF due xx

 

[dogmommy]

Brandi fingers crossed! It's still early.

Krissie fingers crossed AF shows for you!!

Angela sorry that's so frustrating that all tests came out fine. And you're still struggling.

I got my progesterone levels done today and they are at 22. I'm hoping that's good. Last clomid cycle it was 56 so not sure why they are so different. But I'm also feeling very different today. Only 5 dpo tho so surely can't be a sign.

 

[RedRose19]

If your only 5 dpo it could just be it needed another day or two to spike. Sounds good though, sounds like you ovulated anyway.

 

[krissie328]

Dogmommy- since you were not 7 dpo when the test was done I would say it is fine. I know that level shows ovulation has occurred. And if you actually had it done at 7 dpo it would be much higher.

I am so crabby today. I am exhausted and just want to go home and sleep. But I already know that isn't going to happen.

 

[dogmommy]

Thanks girls that makes me feel better about it.

Are you working Krissie?

 

[ramibear]

Hello again ladies. It has been awhile since I have posted on this thread. I have now changed jobs and work shifts in order to reduce my stress.

I have now gone through 4 cycles of clomid with metformin and progesterone. 2 cycles at 50mg and 2 at 100mg of clomid. I really don't think this med is going to work for me at this point, but my doctor wants me to try one more time. I have ovulated each month so that is not the problem and our BDing is timed right. I think I just need to find another doctor and try a different route.

Its been an emotional roller coaster and it doesn't help that I have gained 10 pounds since January despite eating healthier and lighter. My doctor says to be careful because the progesterone is an appetite stimulant, but my husband has remarked that my appetite has decreased. I have to force myself to eat some days because I'm not hungry. Sorry to rant a bit.

 

[krissie328]

Hi rami bear! I'm sorry clomid has not been successful. Have you talked to your doctor about an alternative treatments?

Dogmommy- I was at work. I'm now home and getting ready to lay down. Ds was not very happy when I got to my mom's today. He looked terrible too. But after a few snuggles he was feeling much better. Now I'm hoping he sleeps tonight so we both feel better tomorrow.

I really think af is on her way. I'm this emotional when she is coming. I'm surprised dh hasn't pointed it out. He is so good about calling when she will arrive based on my moods.

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy that shows O right so everything is good FX it's a stick egg xx

Krissie I really hope AF comes soon for you and the emotions and tiredness pass I get like that before AF really tired and moody xx

Redrose I was going to ask you about your Cat, how is tourney addition to the house settling in xx

Ramibear welcome back and I feel your pain and know exactly what your going through me and DH been trying since Nov 2015 in that time had one MC, started Clomid this yr done three cycles with no joy but timed everything perfect done everything right so having two months off to get healthy before doing another 3 months on Clomid. Nothing at all wrong with me and Dh so it's been put down to unexplained infertility Dr this month told me that humans are terrible at reproducing we only have a 30% chance each month so that's 70% unsuccessful I need to keep trying and not give up hope. She also said that there could be a chemical imbalance between my egg and DHS sperm meaning they cannot find eachother so cannot connect but they never find out if that is the case till they try IVF, I'm hoping we don't have to go down IVF route and I do get my BFP this yr and carry full term xx

Here's hoping we all get our happy ever after in 2016 xx
