Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[AngelaALA]

Brandi I'm so sorry to hear that my heart goes out to you but here's hoping and FX that 7.5 works if not there's loads of success stories on fs shots you will get your BFP and it will make it that much more special knowing how hard your journey has been xx

 

[Vankiwi]

Brandi hopefully it works! It's so hard getting bad news.

 

[dogmommy]

Brandi I'm so sorry. Hugs to you dear, I agree that injectibles may be worth a try!

Good luck this cycle krissie and angela!

AFM 12 dpo and BFN sore boobs and AF cramps bad this morning. I know this month was another failure. I really feel like I let down DH he seemed just as upset this morning. Now I sit and wait for my ivf consult. Going to stop the progesterone and I know AF will be here by the weekend.

 

[brandi91]

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I know I'm certainly not the only one who has experienced disappointment here. This has just been my biggest let down so far on this journey. I think the idea of a new medication and a new doctor had me too optimistic. I'm not usually a cryer, but I have been crying off and on all day. I am thankful that they didn't just cancel my cycle. I've read some positive things about adding in another dosage and it paying off. I think if I don't respond to that either my doctor may want to move to injectables. Anyone here have any experience with the cost of those?

Dogmommy I'm sorry about your bfn 🙁 Did you use a frer? When is AF due?

 

[AngelaALA]

Sorry Brandi I've never done the injectables I really hope it doesn't come to that though FX for you xx

Dogmommy so sorry to hear that it's heartbreaking I fear I'll be also joining you down the IVF route too in a few months IVF has such a good success rate so don't loose hope maybe you will only need on round xx FX for you xx

Ah ladies just back from the scan, 1 beautiful babba with a beautiful hb I was so relieved I was measuring a day earlier so must of ovulated a few hours earlier or something then I thought. Now due February 14th

 

[AngelaALA]

Well peed off Dr's not doing follicle tracking clinic this month taking a break from it so told to call back next month on new cycle sending me for my progesterone to be checked at CD21 instead xx

Red that's fantastic news so glad the scan went well and the baby is developing well xx

 

[brandi91]

No follicle tracking? That's annoying! At least we know that you O so that it hopefully shouldn't be an issue, but it would be nice for you to be able to check your follicles!!

Congrats Red! Valentine's Day!

 

[dogmommy]

Congrats red! Valentine's baby!

Angela I'm sorry no follicle tracking but you've had a least one every cycle , right?

Afm negative BETA . My ivf appointment is next month I've called and got put on a waiting list to try and get in sooner to start the ball rolling. I've heard I may have to go on birth control for awhile. So nervous as this is the last effort to ever be a mom.

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy so sorry on the BFN but I've heard IVF gives the best chance and I hope it works for you FX I doubt they will put you on birth control as that could hinder you but stay positive it will happen xx

And yes I have Od every month that's what worries me I have no issues with O always time BD perfectly and DH has no issues they can't find anything wrong so I don't understand why we can't get pregnant it's so frustrating xx

 

[Vankiwi]

Dogmommy yes you'll probably go on birth control to down cycle before all the meds. It's often only for a month though.

 

[krissie328]

So sorry dogmommy. I don't know about ivf. But I'm sure you will get your bfp soon.

Angela- unexplained infertility would be incredibly frustrating. I hope you get your bfp soon, but at least you have the option of ivf if needed.

Afm, only one day of clomid left. I think we will start eod on cd 9.

 

[AngelaALA]

AFM I'm CD7 today took last pill yesterday I think we'll start EOD tonight see how we get on xx

 

[RedRose19]

Exciting times ahead ladies the 2ww is not far away! Dogmommy I really hope the off brings you your bfp!
I was sick again yesterday, although it was worse I was vomiting all night and day, I have woke feeling bit better. Dr had to call and see how I was gave me a shot to help the nausea but it didn't help much I was battling a tummy.bug and my ms so it was unbearable

 

[brandi91]

Dogmommy, I don't know much about IVF but I think I have heard of that before.

Krissie and Angela, the TWW will be here before you know it!

Red, sorry you've been so sick!!!! I hope you start feeling better.

AFM I'm CD 17 and have 3 more days of Femara left. I go in for my ultrasound in five days to see if I I have any mature follicles. I've been getting some minor side effects while on this round of Femara (some headaches and a little bit of pelvic cramping). I'm not sure if it's actually from the Femara or if it's just my body. I'm so glad they are letting me double up this cycle in the hopes of having a mature follie rather than making me start the whole process over. I'm preparing myself for it not to work and trying to go in with low expectations. But I'm hoping for the best.

I was just reflecting on how long it's been since I've had a natural period (without the use of BC or progesterone to induce). It has quite literally been 7 years (I'm 25). That is just crazy to me!!!! I've done some research on it and I can't find much. It makes me feel like I'm a super severe ovulation case! My doctor even mentioned something about "with an ovulation case as severe as mine". Ugh. So frustrating. I wish I know what was causing it. I know it's the PCOS, but still. I feel like it's just so severe. I am overweight but always was in a healthy BMI up until a couple of years ago. My doctor does want me to focus on losing weight and says that will help. But even in my healthy BMI my period never came. As a teenager (since I was 13) to now, I've probably only had 4-5 natural periods.

 

[AngelaALA]

Red loving your new pic FX your MS doesn't interfere too much with enjoying your pregnancy and here's hoping it goes away soon have you tried sickness bands xx

Brandi that must be frustrating for you not having natural periods I really hope this double dose works FX for you how you feeling at the mo xx

 

[brandi91]

Hey! I finished my medicine yesterday. I haven't been temping because my puppy chewed up my thermometer. Of course LOL. But I've just been taking the Femara and waiting to go in tomorrow afternoon. Hoping I will have some follicles but not counting on it. I did just feel a strange pain that could've been ovulation pain but I'm not sure. I hope not as heavy and I have not had intercourse in several days.

 

[krissie328]

Fx for you tomorrow Brandi!

My temps are so high right now like post o high. I am hoping it's just residual clomid and will go down soon so I get a clear thermal shift.

 

[RedRose19]

Brandi ive my fingers crossed for you that those follicles have grown!

Angela not long now til the 2ww, i really hope you get a lovely surprise this cycle! Thanks i know its not really baby shape yet but i love the picture alot.

Krissie not long for 2ww for you either hope you two will both grt bfp together how nice!

I think the tummy bug is completely gone thank god, was a nasty few days here, i felt like i was never gonna feel like myself again! I still have bad nausea but i got some sea bands for morning sickness and they seem to actually be working weirdly!
Something so simple bringing so much ease! Ive noticed walking is already tiring me out which is not good so i gotta get into swimming or something and try be abit fitter its just this damn ms, i hope once the 12 weeks are here i can get out more and exercise

 

[krissie328]

I'm glad you are feeling better red! I cannot believe you are already 9 weeks!

I should have 6 days until o. So less than a week!
