I was told when we went for IUI with clomid that we were "advised" to do no more than 6 cycles with clomid before taking a break. I have never heard of anyone take 200mg of clomid ( not to say it isn't possible) but what they did with me is..when 100mg clomid only rendered two good size eggs ( must remember my eggies aren't young anymore) and we got a the next cycle they gave me 100mg of clomid from CD 3-7 PLUS Pergeon pen ( sorry don't remember the dose) and that rendered seven good size eggs.. and that was the cycle we conceived Emily with IUI. I was told that the only reason they went ahead with the IUI with so many eggs was my age...If I had been 15yrs younger they wouldn't have completed the IUI.

thanks for this info numan!! and i'm sorry i forgot to welcome you earlier, but we're glad you're here hun!

i'm not familiar with pergeon, what is that??

when you say that the docs would not have gone ahead with iui if you were younger, what do you mean? do you mean they would have proceeded to icsi/ivf?

like i said a bit ago, i really feel the soy has worked for me, which leads me to think i've got something going on with my ovaries/hormones (among other symptoms). possibly pcos. i haven't been to the doc yet for the testing b/c we moved in august and it's been hard getting settled with all the changes. but we had dh get a SA in november and we found out his count is very low. 5.5mil/ml. i've had dh on fertilaid vits (plus motility boost and count boost) since about october i think, so i'm really hoping that between that and the soy that we'll get our bfp. unfortunately, our health insurance won't cover icsi OR iui, but thankfully, i've found out the iui is not all that expensive to pay out of pocket if we have to go that route. knowing dh's sa count, i'm expecting the docs will recommend that at a minimum once we get that going, but again, i've had a hard time finding new docs for us in this area we live now.

BUT on a good note, dh mentioned to me the other day that he feels more aroused at times and that his blush: tmi...) orgasms/ejaculations are stronger than they were before. silly dh thinks it's b/c of the ambien it's b/c of the maca root and ginseng and other herbs that are included in the vits he's taking, so that REALLY encouraged me a lot that maybe the vits really will have a positive effect on his numbers and that we'll get our bfp. now if i can just get him to keep up the like china mentioned...he's ready to give out after doing it so often and we're struggling to make it to ov day

china, i got my bbt (basal body temperature thermometer) at cvs. it was about $10 i think i did use the Answer brand opk one cycle. they worked fine, but i didn't like them for myself just b/c i think they are more sensitive than the the cvs brand, so i'm sticking with the cvs brand opk's. some women need it to be more sensitive to pick up their surge. i obviously didn't when i had like 5 days of positives

Phoebe dont use softcups...it freaks me out just thinking about how you have to put it up there

Poppy, don't have the patience to chart. I was thinking about soy....but umm...think I'm going to pass on that one for right now. I think I will start dtd, but don't want to get DH burnt out before I really need his

Well if u cant stomach the thought of using those, i used to use tampons as well hehehe. Gotta keep all those boys in xxx
Well i did sya i was gutty and was determined to fall pg again

[pk2of8]

oh and China, yeah if i decide to go, i'll go regardless of what dh says. it's just that if i do and he really would prefer to go alone, then he'll be in a bad mood and more than likely wouldn't give me the goods while we were there anyway. so i don't know. we'll see how he is later tonight...

 

[pk2of8]

amy, you also had SO MUCH stress going on last cycle what with dh's brother's passing and all that going on...that can delay or even cancel out ov i've read too.

 

[mrsamyrach]

Amy sorry it didnt work for you sweetie, but i guess you needed to try it to know it didnt work for you

You can ovulate not long after AF has finished that ive read so not sure, i know i got ewcm once just before my AF started, but obviously yours was finished

Hey everyone!

pk2 hang in there! DH's can be stubborn sometimes, but eventually they straighten out. Also selling the home and ttc is like a double whopper of stress. Things will get better once all settles down. Maybe you should try before he leaves anyhow.

 

[Regalpeas]

@Tink thanks! And Congrats Lady! You're moving right along. Sooooo happy for you. I can't stop smiling.
