Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[sarah2211]

Awesome dog mommy! Let us know how they're doing on Monday!

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy thats fantastic news 8 I really hope all make 5 days so you can freeze some for future security just in case. I cant wait to hear how the transfer goes FTX for you hun xx

Sarah I hope the sample is a good one and you can get two trys out kf it heres hoping you dont need it though FYX for you too xx

AFM one week left please hurry up just want to start now xx I am getting nervous though feel like there is a lkt of pressure on me for this working DH is an only child and his parents are desperate for grandchildren even discussed about making a baby room in there house its crazy xx

 

[dogmommy]

Just got a call that all are still growing. Our transfer will be on Wednesday. Fingers crossed they all keep growing. DH and I haven't talked lately about how many we will transfer. Twins runs in his family so he isn't against having twins. I've been researching the good and bad of 2 vs 1. Tomorrow we will learn the grading on our embryos!

Angela how exciting it's coming up! It is so hard with all the emotions. I was so happy when I heard 8 are growing but scared to death at the same time. I've never had the pleasure of announcing we are pregnant and it still feels like it's this dream that is so far away.

How's everyone else doing?

 

[krissie328]

Such good news dogmommy! I'm so excited for you.

I'm doing okay here. Just kinda losing hope this is going to happen. So just changing focus to getting healthier. I figure if I put all my energy into getting healthy I stead of ttc I might get somewhere.

Great news, Dogmommy!!!! Fingers crossed and prayers being sent!

I'm sorry about the loss, Red. Don't feel guilty for your initial feelings! I was jealous of someone the other day who announced their second pregnancy, then a few days later, they announced that they lost the baby. I felt guilty too.

Krissie, I m sorry this cycle was a bust. Maybe the specialist will have some suggestions that will work!

Sarah, that is exciting about the freezing and IUI! That way you don't have to stress about hubby being gone.

Sorry I haven't updated in a couple of weeks. There is nothing really going on here. I never did get AF and then my dog chewed up my thermometer again (that is the fifth one-its becoming comical really). I haven't bothered buying a new one because I never ovulate anyway and all it does is stress me out...

I'm just ready to go back to the doctor and try the next step! But hubby wanted to wait a year. It's been almost five months since he came to that conclusion, but I am just dying to go back. Seriously!! He wants a baby but the cost is making him want to wait a bit. I'm going crazy over here, though.

The diet has unfortunately been pretty nonexistent. It's hard around the holidays!

 

[AngelaALA]

Brandi so sorry your having a rough time lately I hope you dont have to wait a year but understand the financial burden can put things on hold, goodluck and FX that by the end of next year you will have some amazing news to share xx

Dogmommy thats fantastic news FTX that they all carry on growing xx

Krissie I hope the diet does help and hopefully also helps with egg quality all these drugs we're taking does affect your appetite Ive put on over a stone nearly two with all these drugs so my confidence in how I look is pretty low at the mo xx

 

[RedRose19]

Brandi sorry your having to wait. Maybe it's something you could bring up in conversation with hubster because waiting times generally can be a few months, would he not let you least go see the Dr in the new year ? That would bring you to like 7 months and maybe a few more before you see or do anything

I posted yesterday but obviously it didn't send grrr,

Krissie I hope the diet helps Tbh you I think healthy eating and exercise does way more than any meds that's how I got pregnant with ds 1 I got healthy lost weight and did loads more exercise. Of course this is hard when ttc with baby two because obviously you got baby 1 to work around lol.good luck with it.

I'm so excited for you dogmommy! Let us know how it goes xx

Angela I understand your frustration but you are so close now , try stay clam although as we all know way easier said than done!.

I'm sorry to say I'm feeling miserable today.. three nights in a row with zero sleep! I woke feeling so so sick, headaches, dizziness, nausea etc so I went to my dr and she said that my blood pressure was good and the lack of sleep was causing my anxiety to go up causing me more worries and strains and she reckons I'm starting a bug.. so fun times

Next appt is the 19th I hope to get my plan and date by now

 

[sarah2211]

Well it's looking like no ovulation this cycle. I'm feeling really fed up. How can I possibly even think about IUI with frozen sperm if I don't even ovulate. Ugh, our next appointment isn't until February so I feel like checking out and giving up.

 

[AngelaALA]

Red not long now though Ive heard the final few weeks can be so uncomfortable and hard to sleep I hope you do settle though before your baby arrives xx

Sarah there are a lot of people on these threads where Clomid and Femera did not make them O but IUI did if your doing the injections as its more powerful and throughout the cycle the dose can be decreased or increased unlike Clomid where it remains the same keep faith hun and focus on moving forward to the next step xx

AFM Ive started spotting as I always do before AF so AF is on schedule to start Friday my drug appointment is tomorrow so here goes nothing my IVF journey is finally beginning xx

 

[RedRose19]

oh wow angela that is so exciting!! big hugs this is it!!

thinking of you today dogmommy, i hope the transfer goes well and please put your feet up after and let those beauties do their work!!

sarah im def proof of clomid being no good but injections working perfect! and as angela said they can up or down the dose as you go along and your monitored way more.

i hate to complain, i am so happy and grateful to be pregnant but just found out yesterday dad def has cancer. its be a shitty few weeks to be frank, sorry for my language. i was rushed to my dr 2 days ago cuz i couldnt breath and i felt so unwell i thought it was pre eclampsia which is what id with my son, turns out it was a severe anxiety and stress, sent me home to rest, two nights and dads results later i had a breakdown yesterday , i had a constant lump in my throat and i just broke down in front of dh. he offered to take jamie last night (he still wakes) but of course when dh and i went to bed my son only wanted me. so i went into bed with him and he didnt sleep a wink so of course neither did i. im like a walking zombie today!
im very achey and sore probably from twisting and turning and no sleep.
i just need to try and concentrate on getting ready for my baby, its the only distraction i have right now.. so we are doing the nursery this weekend! need to try focus on that!

 

[krissie328]

I hope your transfer goes well dogmommy!

Angela- not long at all now.

Red- I am sorry things are so rough right now. I hope you can get some rest soon.

Sarah- I hope your doctor is able to find something that will work better for you.

Afm, only cd 6 over here. I'm really dreading waiting for o. I'm hopeful the herbs work this time but part of me wonders if last time was a fluke. I hope not!

 

[Aphy]

Angela,so excited that everything is startIng!!! Fx!

Dogmommy,let us know how the transfer goes,GL!

Sarah,they will find the treatment that works for you,sometimes it can just take frustratingly long but it will happen!

Red,I am so sorry about your father and about you struggling currently...I think anyone in your position would have also broken down. Hope you feel stronger soon xxx

Afm,had our first scan yesterday and all looks well. Nausea has been nice and mild the past 2 days,hopefully it stays this way! Today I have been feeling so crappy,sore,bloated and (tmi) constipated. No idea where this comes from but hope it passes soon

 

[dogmommy]

Brandi I'm sorry things are not going your way. I agree maybe make an appointment in the up coming months. It's always helpful to have a date to look forward to.

Sarah don't be discouraged. Red is a great success story for injectibles! And once you do O that may be all your body needs help with.

Angela not long now! So excited for you hun.

Red I'm so sorry you're going thru a tough time. Feel free to vent away! I can see you are a strong woman.

Krissie fingers crossed that the herbs do the trick this month. I have everything crossed for you.

Aphy glad to hear things are going well for you. I love your signature. Your bean is the size of a tator tot

AFM transfer went beautifully. We didn't have one perfect embryo so we decided to transfer two average embryos. Fingers crossed we end up with a sticky bean or two!! I'm just resting today. Tomorrow I go back to work. Beta isn't until the 26th but I know I will be testing before then! Thanks for all the support

 

[krissie328]

Wonderful to hear dogmommy!! I can't wait to see your tests.

I just figured out that my fertile time will be over my break so I should be able to get lots of bding in!! And hopefully I won't be too stressed and it will be just what we need for our bfp.

 

[RedRose19]

Eeek dogmommy I'm excited to read an update ! And will be stalking for your tests. Are you planning on testing out the trigger? Did you have a trigger shot like meds?
I hope you end up with two beautiful squishy babies

 

[sarah2211]

Thanks ladies. My progesterone came back as 34 which is high enough to confirm ovulation but I'm not sure if it's high enough to sustain a pregnancy. Last cycle it was 66. I think I'll give Clomid 2 more cycles as I seem to be ovulating. At our appointment in February I'll be asking to change from Clomid to Femara. We are going to freeze my husband's sample on Monday. I don't have high hopes for a BFP this cycle unfortunately.

 

[krissie328]

34 definitely confirms o and would be high enough in first tri. Progesterone levels over 17 are good in first tri. My doctor told me anything under 15 would require supplementation.

 

[AngelaALA]

Red so sorry to hear about your father I really hope its curable I know how you feel I lost my dad to cancer three years ago and going through it is heartbreaking you have every right to break down no one will judge you for it xx

Aphy glad the MS is easing off and everything is going well not long till you will be hitting the 2nd tri so happy for you, will you be finding out the sex xx

Sarah thats fantastic news that you Od I so hope that you get your BFP I have absolutely everything crossed for you xx

Dogmommy I also have absolutely everything crossed for you too I hope they stick xx

Krissie here's hoping you do O on your break and it leads to a BFP I have absolutely everything crossed for you xx

AFM had my drug appointment yesterday and she went through all my drugs which carmed my nerves a bit, AF came today so I start my tablets which I take 3 times a day on 31st Dec that brings on a fast AF cycle take them for ten days then on 13th Jan I go for a base line scan then I get my date for starting the injections so hopefully if all goes well I should be pupped up by end of Jan. They also went through all our tests as I had questions and they confirmed that it is a male fertility issue and Clomid was a waste of time for us, that our original hospital didnt read into DHS sperm test correctly as if they had then they would have seen that ICSI was the only way (thats the more intrusive IVF where they physically inject one of his good sperm directly into one of my eggs) and also the chance of us conceiving naturally ever is slim to none so if we want more children then ICSI is the only way so if we can and it works for us we'll be keeping some eggs frozen to use in a few years time xx

Its a little upsetting knowing that we have waisted our time over the past three years and also knowing that we cant have children the natural way but I love DH and what will be will be. If I cant carry his child then I wont carry any and we'll go down the route of adoption xx DH has said he wont mind if I use a sperm donor as he wants me to be a mother and have my own child but Ive told him no, that will never happen and an adopted child will still be my own as Im the one bringing them up, giving them memories and teaching them how to live xx

 

[krissie328]

I'm sorry all those cycles were unwarranted. I hope that this leads to your bfp!

 

[Aphy]

Still 2.5 weeks til first tri is over so I'm hoping that means the nausea will disappear magically on the day let's hope I am not like my sister who was sick right through. Will definitely want to know the sex Angela,we are both way to curious to be team yellow!

Sarah,glad you are O'ing so well now...it's a matter of time now! If DH wasn't being deployed,in sure you wouldn't even need freezing!

Angela,I'm glad you know the reason now and are already on track to getting your bfp! Fx!
