Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[krissie328]

Angela, I'm so sorry hun.

 

[AngelaALA]

Thanks guys for the support xx

Me and DH have had a heart to heart he broke down crying and believe me my DH does not cry so it was real emotion he told me that he gave up this month as he felt it was hopeless there was no point and he couldn't go through another month watching me doing all these tests then getting heartbroken at the end of the month he said the BD is no longer enjoyable it's forced and I agree with him with that one he said he wants to get back to us enjoying it again doing it because we want to not because we have to.

He also said it's getting him down we want a baby so badly and every month that it doesn't happen he gets upset and feels like a failure he feels it's his fault that he can't give me a baby and I told him I feel the same like I'm the failure xx I'm glad we've had the heart to heart as we both have been harbouring the same feelings we're both ready to move on to IVF and I'm stopping all temping and opks and whilst waiting for ivf we're just going to enjoy ourselves and if it happens it happens I think that's what we both need to forget about it for the time being till IVF and if we get pregnant in the meantime then it was meant to be xx I'll still keep you guys updated and chat here just because I'm also still interested to hear about your journeys xx

Thanks Krissie. I'm interested about femara. I have heard there are less side effects. Not sure why more drs don't prescribe it.

Angela I'm so sorry. We've definitely had cycles like you where dh was not interested in bding and the cycle was a waste. This cycle I'm not tracking anything. We will be on vacation for 10 days cd 12-22 so I plan on bding since we will definitely have the time but not going to do any opks and just see what happens. I know we will both get our beautiful babies!

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy I really hope you get your beautiful BFP I've heard alot of people conceive on vacation I think it has to do with being stress free Goodluck FX for you and thank you for the support it means a lot xx

AFM me and DH did actually BD last night I Od yesterday and an egg can live up to 24 hrs before dying so I am in with a chance this month and my body kept hold of it if you get me sorry for the TMI but that showed I was still fertile but I'm not hopeful as it's not been successful so far I won't be doing any tests just wait till AF arrives and if she is late then I'll do one still not going to temp either I've taken the alarm off my phone to wake me up at my temp time xx

 

[krissie328]

That's great Angela. I hope you guys can spend some time on each other. Infertility is such a draining and emotional journey.

So.... I'm fairly certain I ovulated last night. I got an almost positive opk that afternoon and a slight temp jump at my normal temping time. 1.5 hours later tempted again and had a significant rise. Plus I'm having my post o hot flashes.

So while the doctor says it was a fail for the clomid at least it's not a wasted cycle.

And if af arrives in can start femara next cycle as my fertile window will be the week before I go out of town.

 

[AngelaALA]

I'm made up for Krissie FX for you your in the TWW here's hoping BD was timed perfectly and your in with a shot will you be doing the progesterone shots this month xx

 

[krissie328]

Angela- I will be doing progesterone suppositories staring 3 dpo. I just want my temps to confirm for sure.

 

[AngelaALA]

I'm sure they will Krissie FX for you that all goes smoothly and to plan and you get your BFP which is sustainable this time you deserve it xx

 

[RedRose19]

Good luck ladies I've everything crossed for you both!

 

[dogmommy]

Congrats Krissie! Hope your temps show O! Fingers crossed

Angela I'm glad you and dh had a good talk. Fingers crossed you catch that eggy!

Afm my appointment didn't go as planned. He wants to re check blood work next month and then if that's ok try injectabless in October. I'm so bummed as I know it's not an ovulation problem but he is making us go through the ringer before he signs off on ivf. I have such mixed emotions :/

 

[krissie328]

Dogmommy that's so frustrating! Fx it works for you.

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy so sorry it didn't go well at appointment and they are now trying other things I know how that feels I have no issues Oing and my Dr still made me go on clomid for 6 months even though it was not working xx I hope the injectables do work for you and if not then I hope they see sense and don't carry on with them as you know your body best xx

 

[dogmommy]

I found out that I will be doing ivf before the end of thee year. There was a mix up with my insurance and I get two paid before the end of the year so I will likely do one round of injectibles next month then ivf the following. right now I'm a few days past ovulation haven't done any opks or charts. I did have some O pains earlier this week. To be honest I don't think it will happen the slightest this month.

How's everyone else doing?

 

[krissie328]

Fx for you dogmommy that injectables or ivf work. What did you do this cycle?

Afm, af arrived yesterday. My doctor prescribed femara so I will be starting that tomorrow. I'm just hoping I o on time since I'm suppose to be out of town Sept 14-18 without dh.

 

[RedRose19]

Dogmommy I hope the injectibles work for you! If not I'm glad you've a plan b!

Good luck with the femara kristie I hope you get a good result and ovulate on time!

Angela hope your doing ok! Xx

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy FX IVF works first time but that's good that you get 2 goes via insurance xx

Red lovely to hear from you how you feeling xx

AFM I'm good thanks AF has come so clomid was a big flop for me so we'll be moving onto IVF got to call Dr on Monday I'll keep you all posted xx

 

[RedRose19]

I'm good thanks, I'd a bit of a scare two weeks ago, had a fall landed on my tummy but scan and blood tests confirmed all ok, I've o negative blood so the worry was the bloody mixing! But all ok, gender scan three weeks today!

 

[AngelaALA]

Oh God Red I'm glad you and the bump are okay though that must have been scary xx exciting times ahead finding out the gender what are you hoping for x
