Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[AngelaALA]

Well Ive either Od yesterday or today I was really tempted to BD but then the pain in my tooth told me no gutted as it has been a strong O plenty EWCM and O pain but this tooth needs to go badly x

 

[RedRose19]

Im sorry about your tooth hun, ive had tooth trouble since being preggo nothing worse. I hope you hear soon

 

[AngelaALA]

Red thats why Ive had to leave it this month as even though my chances of a natural BFP are extremely slim I cant risk it as the pain is so intense at times its unreal and I just couldnt put up with this for 9 + months it would completely wear me down xx I hope yours isnt too bad hun and bearable xx

How is everyone else xx

 

[krissie328]

I hope you hear back soon for both your tooth and ivf.

Afm, still super sick. I've never been sick like this and I'm so miserable. Just hoping I'm well enough to bd tonight. My fever seems to be gone so now I will be able to see a temp shift if it occurs

 

[RedRose19]

sorry to hear your sick krissie, i hope you feel better soon!

angela i had no problems til i got pregnant then my tooth just crumbled one night and left a huge hole in it! i freaked out and when i got there she was so calm said she could still fill it even though i was pregnant. i know though some time in the future it will need to be pulled because it was a deep filling and i can feel the weakness in it, problem is im naturally missing teeth, two back ones so if i loose this one its gonna be super hard to chew . plus side is ive no wisedom teeth to worry about missing those too.

bit upset here this week, and before i go into detail i know i know this is super childish lol but basically my sil is pregnant with her 4th!! even though she just had a mental break down last month over minding her 3 girls, my brother has a lont on his shoulders, but the part im mostly upset about is the fact she did this on purpose to be pregnant same time as me! from the moment i told my family i was expecting she was going on and on about how broody she was, then this tripled when i told her we were having a boy (after 3 girls she wants a boy) she always tries to be center of attention in most events and really tries to muscle in on alot of me and my moms time together and i just wanted this time, this pregnancy with just my mom, again i know thats childish etc but she and you ladies know how long it took me to get pregnant this time, nearly 4 years and she always gets pregnant drop of a hat! she would of gotten pregnant sooner only for the fact she had paid for a course to start in sept and knew she couldnt waste that so i said to dh i bet she times the pregnancy for around sept/oct so she can finish the course before baby arrives and well i should of put money on it because shes that predictable! we share dour pregnancies last time too and i feel sad she couldnt of just let me have this time with my family! and not for the fact timing is not good for their family

ok rant over.. again sorry if this makes me childish its just how i feel right now and hormones probably dont help

 

[krissie328]

I am so sorry hun. Some people are just like that and it's unfortunate when it's your own family. Try not to let her outshine your happiness for your little guy.

Well, my first round of clomid didn't work. We're gearing up for round #2. :sigh:

I just don't understand how we had no trouble conceiving our son in 2013. And now, after a year, the furthest we got was a miscarriage. I had put so my hope into our 1st round of clomid, stupidly I know. I knew the chance of it being our magic pill was small, but I couldn't help but think that *this* month would be the one.

 

[krissie328]

Mara, I can relate. Ds was conceived our first round of clomid so I figured it would be fast again. Well 3 rounds of clomid and now on second round of femara later... it's so discouraging to say the least.

In other interesting news your ds is 2 days younger than mine.

 

[mara16jade]

Krissie, do you have any idea why you're having trouble conceiving?

Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to know the reasin, instead of just having undiagnosed infertility. It just sucks either way!

 

[krissie328]

Well I have pcos, but that was the same with ds. I've had two losses since Feb and 3 failed med cycles so not sure. I've ovulated all of them so that is not the issue. Last cycle was because I ovulated late and missed it. But the other ones just back luck? Doctor thinks bad embryos for the losses but I can't help but think it's my pcos since it increases chance of miscarriage.

 

[AngelaALA]

Red dont let her get you down think about your baby and how happy he will make you feel plus you will have yours first hun, people like her make me so angry I see it all the time ungrateful for what they already have whilst we struggle to have just one piece of what theyve got a family xx keep your chin up hun and rise above her xx

Mara so sorry the witch got you unexplained infertility is so hard Im in the same boat as you Im LTTTC will be 3 yrs in Nov had one CP in that time frame was on Clomid for 6 months and unfortunately it did not work for me now we are awaiting news about starting IVF xx I remember my first three months on Clomid especially the first month so full of excitement and optimism and then getting heartbroken with every BFN it does wear you down and make you so low, TTC is so exhausting and draining physically, emotionally and mentally but you got to keep going xx

Just because it didnt work for me doesnt mean it wont for you hun FX this cycle will be the one xx

 

[dogmommy]

Krissie sorry you're feeling sick! It's getting to be that time of year around here everyone is sick!

Red I'm so sorry about your SIL, feel free to rant away. I definitely have my fair share of SIL issues.

Mara hopefully this is just one step closer for you to figuring out the problem. I try not to look at a bad cycle as a waste as we do learn different things that don't work!

Afm I'm just working on eating better to increase egg health and 3 weeks away from starting ivf. Nervous about the HSN next week but you have helped calm me!

Hi ladies,a question for the tempers...has anyone had AF start but still have raised temp? I thought pre-AF spotting started today but when I went to bathroom it is more than expected but my temp was still raised this morning which is odd if AF was starting today.

 

[krissie328]

Aphy- that does sound odd. My af temps are typically higher but they always go down the day of or after af arrives.

Dogmommy- I cannot believe how close you are to starting ivf. I hope it works quickly for you.

Afm, I thought I was getting better and that my fever was gone but it appears to be back today. I am so ready for this to be over! And now it appears my dh has got it.

 

[RedRose19]

Thanks ladies im an emotional wreck i cant stop crying today, my cousin is in hospital fighting for his life, hes only in his 30s, my son was waiting for disabled toilets today getting upset and some old lady ran in ahead of him , just because his disability is not visable its not fair to treat him that he doesnt count, cue him hsving a huge meltdown, i was so mad! Then me and my best friend fell out, im overhalf way pregnant and weve only seen each other once! I got the feeling shes avoiding me! So i called her out on it. The course the hormones
I just feel like i ned a huge bar of chocolate and my hot wster bottle and cry til the tears are gone.. but alas its not bed time yet lol

Aphy- that does sound odd. My af temps are typically higher but they always go down the day of or after af arrives.

Will have to see what my temp does tomorrow morning then. So confused and frustrated!

 

[krissie328]

I got a positive opk today!

It is just a tiny bit lighter but given my cm is also good I am guessing this is it. Which totally figures given how sick I have been and Dh is now sick. Gonna try to get one bd session in before he leaves tonight though. My temps are a disaster though so I won't be able to pinpoint exact ovulation but if they stay high I can at least assume I did o.

 

[Aphy]

Yay Krissie!!! Go get some BD 😉

 

[AngelaALA]

Red oh god sounds awful my thoughts are with you and your family right now I hope your cousin gets better and comes out the other side still so young thats such a shame I hope your family stay strong and support each other through this. Some people are ignorant and that old lady should never have done that but you also dont know what she suffered with maybe she had IBS or something and it was life and death to get in that toilet or maybe she was and is just just a horrid ignorant old woman I hope DS is okay now though hun xx and your BF thats awful youve not seen her in all that time how come she has stayed away Im sure you will patch things up and everything will be okay BFs are like family you fight but make up too Im sure everything will work itself out xx keep me updated about your cousin thinking of you right now xx

Aphy my pre AF temps whilst spotting have been known to stay high then as soon as AF arrives they drop dramatically just keep an eye on it hun xx

Krissie yey to O hope you did get BD in and are in with a chance FX for you xx

AFM well called the hospital they recived my paperwork they sent it all off to my own hospital as the fertility one is in another county (not far) for it to go to a board for there approval as it will be my county that have to pay for it via there NHS budget that was sent on 24/09 and can take 56 days so I wont hear anything till end of Nov more than likely we will start IVF in Jan which is good really as at present we're doing house up and we get xmas out the way before we start x

Hey ladies, I really need some advice. I know the best thing to do is to follow my doctor's recommendation, but I'm just beyond frustrated.

I have PCOS and was put on Provera, followed by 50mg of Clomid on CD 4-8. My doctor prescribed me three months worth of Clomid, so after using 50mg last cycle, I not have a full 100mg in my cupboard. I have had no response to my first cycle of Clomid (did not ovulate).

My doctor rung and said that he wanted to increase my dose to 75mg. I'm really annoyed. If I didn't ovulate at 50mg, I don't feel that 25mg is going to be effective. From everything I've read, if you don't ovulate on 50mg, you go up to 100mg.

To make things even more difficult, my husband is in the army and he's likely to be deployed from December until April next year. It's likely he'll also be away for some of 2017. So we have enough time for 2 more cycles this year before he goes.

I'm really worried that I'm not going to ovulate on 75mg and I'll be left with 1 more cycle before he is deployed.

In my cupboard I have 100mg and I also have a new script for 75mg.

As per my husband's suggestion, I emailed the nurse at my clinic and explained the situation. She said that they suggested raising my dose slowly so we don't end with multiples.

What would you do in my situation?
