Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[brandi91]

Good luck dogmommy! Let us know if you test! Angela, sorry about AF. The fitness thing sounds good. I hope everyone else is doing well!!!!

Hubby and I are still just focusing on taking a break for a while. I haven't been back to the doctor. I'm staying on the metformin but that is it. I'm debating if I want to take prometrium every month or if I want to work on bringing back my cycles naturally (which by my complete lack of natural cycles, I don't know if that would be effective or not). I've been drinking spearmint tea. I've been reading that it lowers androgen levels, which cause me not to ovulate and cause all of the other PCOS symptoms. I'm hoping it will work.

Brandi I know of a few people on here that had success with the spearmint tea, worth a shot!

 

[krissie328]

Good luck Brandi. I've heard a lot of great things about spearmint tea.

I am so over the wait to o. I really thought I'd have a positive opk by now. I'm testing 3 times a day so I'm certian I won't miss it this time.

Yesterday my ovary pain was intense! I actually was worried about cysts. And it's on both sides but today it's much more tolerable.

FX Dogmommy even if it's a slim chance it's still a chance xx

Brandi I'm hoping AF does come naturally for you xx

Krissie FX O comes soon xx

 

[brandi91]

Yay!!!! Well shockingly AF came today! The first one in eight years without progesterone!!!!!!! I assume the Femara just worked late....

 

[krissie328]

That's great Brandi. I'm sorry af arrived but at least you know it worked even if it was late.

It could of gotten into a rhythm or pattern but it's all good signs. The peppermint tea is great it's supposed to work wonders for pcos it helped me lower testosterone and I lost weight quicker. Apparently cinnamon tea helps too so I drank both (not at the same time lol) I hope it helps you brandi!

How is everyone today

 

[krissie328]

I'm super emotional and down today. I still haven't got a positive opk and I'm cd 15. With all my pain on Friday I'm concerned it might have been a cyst. My cm has turned creamy which makes me even more worried.

 

[AngelaALA]

Brandi yay for AF glad it came naturally xx

Krissie so sorry O hasn't come yet I hope it does for you I remember one month I Od as late as CD21 please don't give up hope xx

AFM started my health kick today can't believe how unfit I am my God but got to start somewhere right xx

 

[dogmommy]

Brandi that's great news! Glad you're not waiting around for AF

Krissie hopefully O is around the corner. Before the trigger shot I would O around cd19. I hope no cyst in there! Will dr do an ultrasound for you?

13 dpo today and I broke down and took an ic hpt and BFN. I really think AF will be here the next few days. I'm not too upset bc we really just wanted to take time off ttc pressures. My ivf consult is next Monday hopefully we will be able to start the process soon!

 

[AngelaALA]

So sorry to hear that Dogmommy but I really hope ivf does the trick first time round I'd be very interested to hear how it all goes xx

AFM CD9 Temps have been a little crazy this month up and down alot I'll start OPKS around CD12 I think. I did my first HIIT workout yesterday and my God can't believe how unfit I am my muscles especially legs are aiching today can hardly move but I'm determined to get fit this time xx

 

[dogmommy]

Thanks Angela. Just waiting for AF to show her face. I'm hoping tonight or tomorrow so I can move onto next cycle. We are going to do better on the BD this month and just try to be healthy . Good for you with doing HIIT ! I tried it once a few years ago and it is tough!

 

[AngelaALA]

Oh God it's tough my second day today and I can hardly move my legs hope I get better xx

 

[krissie328]

Keep at it Angela you will get better!

 

[AngelaALA]

Thanks Krissie not as sore today got two more days of HIIT then have two days rest xx

How is everyone x well I'm CD11 not started OPKS yet will do today to be honest it's like I've given up this month like I already know and just focusing on getting ready for IVF I'll still give it a shot this month though I have to xx

 

[dogmommy]

Angela keep it up! Have you started opks yet?

Afm cd3 and just waiting for Monday to talk to the doctor to see what my next steps will be! Kind of in limbo for now. Probably won't be on Clomid anymore but will keep up with this board for any of the ladies that still want to keep in touch!

 

[krissie328]

Definitely stick around dogmommy! I am pretty sure I am done with clomid. This cycle has been horrible between it being annovulatory and the side effects from the clomid.

I am probably going to take the next cycle off because I should be out of town over my fertile window. Then I plan to call the doctor to do femara.

Although, I am considering starting progesterone to bring on af this weekend and then I should have my fertile window right before I leave. But I have not decided. I still won't be doing any fertility drugs since I am pretty sure I have a cyst as my ovary area is still so so tender. At least it is not painful like it was though.

 

[AngelaALA]

Yes keep in touch Dogmommy xx

Krissie I hope if it's a cyst it goes quickly hun FX for you xx

AFM got O pains yesterday so started OPKS and it was positive last night so possibly Od early hours this morning I know I have Od as Temps slightly raised had EWCM yesterday and even though cervix is still soft and high today my cm is more watery and slightly creamy FF will give me my CHS for today being O day but I'm out DH hasn't wanted BD at all so far this month tried other night but he couldn't perform then last night we went for a lovely meal and everything but get back he's not interested at all feel like crying actually I have cried my last month on clomid gone without an attempt and a DH knowing it's my fertile time not wanting to touch me and another friend has just announced there pregnancy I'm sat here crying as I type this I just feel so low right now xx

 

[RedRose19]

Im sorry Angela, this has happened where dh wasnt in the mood, and now that we arent trying anymore we talked about it and he told me the pressure to preform was huge, i found he was much better when i didnt tell him i was fertile and just made it about the sex nit having a baby.. i know its hard but ditch the thermometer and opks and have fun? Hope your ok xx

 

[AngelaALA]

I'm feeling really disheartened I just don't know how to feel right now but I have decided that I'm ditching the opks and temping now as of today I'm not going to do it anymore till we begin IVF and just chill out about it all now focus on getting healthy instead xx I can't force DH to want sex and I understand it has got quite robotic in that department but I am still upset that our chance is gone this month and I know it will cause friction between us if he starts wanting to get intimate now it's too late as I'll feel like he did it on purpose x
