Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[AngelaALA]

Red how is the pregnancy going by the way how are you coping on this heat has your morning sickness started to subside xx

 

[RedRose19]

Krissie i hope your temps settle soon so you know for sure, i think the heat messes up temps too, esp with toddlers if your up at all to them,

Angela i cant wait to see your tests!

Its going good thanks as, i think im through the worst of the ms now i do have minor waves now and again and ill probably have those abit longer but it wasnt as bad as it was between week 6 and 9 . With jamie i had those minor waves til week 16 on and off.
I feel abit better today but we are about to do some painting so i hope my bump will be ok, i feel huge already and i kmow its probably bloat too.
11 weeks tuesday and i ordered a fetal heart monitor it says from 9 weeks so hopefully i can hear something. I also have dr appt monday, and i also have my next scan in 11 days!it came so fast

 

[AngelaALA]

My God that has come around quick can't wait to see a pick of your next scan it will be so much more detailed xx don't over do it though with the painting and take care with the fumes xx

 

[krissie328]

I loved my fetal doppler. Remember to take it easy hun.

So third day of low temps and no more crosshairs. So I'm counting this cycle as a bust and just waiting for a new one.

Good luck Angela! Glad everyone is doing well!
Hubby still is wanting to wait another year or so. I don't get too depressed unless I think about it.

So today is CD27, noticed a speck of blood in my cm, and saw that it is a little pinkish. I expect AF sometime Monday-Wed. Ugh. So I am thinking of asking the Dr. to bump up my clomid to 100mg. After that, if that doesn't work I am wondering what will come next. What kind of injectibles would they probably recommend? Any idea for any lower cost ones? All my stuff is out of pocket. So much for "insurance" lol.

 

[AngelaALA]

Ashley still got my FX for you that that could be IB I hope the witch doesn't get you I've not done injections so I can't answer your questions xx

Brandi that is frustrating but maybe the break will give you your BFP how do you feel about it xx

Krissie I hope it's not a bust FX you get your BFP on OPK xx

AFM start testing tomorrow but I'm not hopeful then again I never am but still get emotional around AF time xx

 

[AshleyButters]

Thanks Angela! Sadly for me, this is a typical thing I experience every month, so I know its AF. UGH I don't know how many more tears/how much more anger I can take! Anybody with me! LOL

I'm glad you girls are here with me, even if this is the club NOBODY wants to be apart of LOL

 

[AngelaALA]

I'm with you Ashley I feel your pain I go through it too everytime AF arrives and so does DH he seems how upset it makes me, I'm like you I start spotting for 3-2 days prior to AF arriving xx

Big hugs for you will you be doing Clomid again next month xx

AFM 8DPO BFN which is understandable as extremely early but if I'm honest I've not got my hopes up this month I don't expect to get a BFP at all as I really don't think Clomid is working at all I just want to get next month out the way with my last dose of clomid so we can move on to IVF xx

 

[RedRose19]

Sorry about the bfn and the spotting, really sorry ladies I feel your pain and I wish nice women got the babies they deserve asap. Your time will.come ladies I know it, don't give up xx
Ashley I didn't get a choice of injections I was just prescribed puregon , it was my first time taking it, and it was the only thing that got my follicles growing, it cost me 160 because of a drug payment scheme which means you pay some, the government pays the rest. But I was told they should of coat me 800 Euro per cycle, I imagine America it's more. It's so hard when it cost so much but hopefully you will get pregnant first cycle!

 

[krissie328]

Sorry about bfn Angela, but like you said you're still so early!

Afm, af arrived this morning. Since I o'd do early im considering taking clomid later. But I'm going to do a bit of research first.

 

[AngelaALA]

Oh God so sorry AF arrived Krissie what was you taking this month O must have come extremely early in your cycle xx

 

[krissie328]

I did clomid cd 2-6, 50 mg.

Looking at my chart I suspect cd 7. I started opks the next day and they were really dark. I wasn't tracking cm either so not sure about that.

I'm just so glad that cycle is done. It was so stressful. Hopefully no crazy early o this cycle

 

[RedRose19]

Sorry about af! I hope next cycle you don't ovulate so early! It's not great for egg quality! I wouldn't take Clomid later, it's recommended usually those that have long cycles take it early you want the Clomid to work before you ovulate, if you take it CD 5 to 9 but ovulate on CD 9 you won't even have finished the Clomid, but that's just my understanding I may be wrong. Although saying that I ovulated on CD 10 so I know it's possible and to get a healthy pregnancy from it.

 

[AngelaALA]

Here's hoping FX for you xx

I get my bloods drawn tomorrow meant to be today as it's CD21 but not open today with it being Sunday I know I've Od so they're pointless really xx

 

[krissie328]

Red- thanks hun. I've settled on cd 3-7 instead of 2-6.

In the past I've od cd 15-18. So this was just weird. I brought af on with progesterone so maybe I already had an egg or something.

 

[AshleyButters]

Red-thanks for the info about the injections! And see the thing is, I did a clomid IUI through a fertility clinic (with 50mg clomid), months ago, and I did grow 2 mature follicles and maybe 1 or 2 smaller ones. So I know I do grow follicles with it. I do ovulate on my own.

Krissie- sorry about AF, but at least you can plan your next cycle! (Thats all I ever can be positive about when I get AF lol) My Dr. prescribed me CD5-9 this past cycle, but I ignored him and did 3-7, because *my* thinking is that I would have more follicles-more targets for that darn sperm!

I am thinking this cycle I may just listen and try CD5-9. I heard that will give you a stronger ovulation, which I think I need.

This past month I noticed I didn't have any EWCM. I only had watery. Any girls have suggestions for this? I am thinking of using pre-seed?

I've been crying off and on the past few days. I deleted my FB months ago because I couldn't deal with all the pregnancies in my face.

I just feel like I am in a weird position, which others will understand because I do have kids. I am so lucky, and I never had any problems even getting pregnant with them. But I so badly want to give my DH babies of his own.

My "baby" will be 8 tomorrow. I always imagined just popping out kids boom boom boom and being one of those moms who has like 7 kids under 7. Guess thats not in the cards for me.

I will be 30 in August, so I feel a real rush. It will be 2 years of TTC in November of this year. I always imagined leaving the number of kids up to God, I guess he has a message for me LOL!!!

 

[krissie328]

Ashley- did dh have a sa?

I agree I'm looking forward to planning this cycle now. I got back to work on the 8th so hoping to chill and hopefully catch that eggie.

Does ewcm I have found drinking grapefruit juice a couple hours before dtd really helps. I have also used preseed and really like it.

 

[AngelaALA]

Ashley I feel your pain I have no children yet but been TTC 2 yrs 8 months I always thought I would have no issues never even entered my mind we would struggle to have a baby seeing everyone around me popping children out left right and centre breaks my heart xx we all know how you feel here and are all here for support and to listen xx

I've used preseed which worked really well and also found grapefruit juice worked well too I would drink two glasses a day for around four days the run up to O on O and just after xx

 

[krissie328]

Yea, we get it. My friends kids are 11, 10, 9, and 7. It was a rough few years when dh and I were first married. Then I had to watch their parents with all the firsts, ect. It sucks cause my ds is 2 and all their kids are older. But hey now I get babysitters lol.
