Hi Everyone! I'm Dini, and I'm new to BnB. My Boyfriend and I have been TTC for 10 mo. I have PCOS and irregular cycles. Several times in my life I have had bleeding that couldn't be stopped unless I was put on the pill, of course I can't do that now! My fertility specialist and OB are working together with me and decided to put me on 14 days of Progesterone to make me withdraw and hopefully start a regular cycle in which I will start Clomid 50mg days 5-9. My fertility doc did a scan and my ovaries are pretty large as is the lining of my uterus(hence the progesterone), but he saw nothing that looked like a reason for me not to get preggo other than the typical PCOS picture. I get those twinges in my ovaries almost every month, but my ovaries are covered in cysts, like most of us PCOSers and my Dr thinks that even though my body tries I may not have enough of the proper hormones at the right time to push through all the cysts/scar tissue. I'm hoping the addition of the progesterone and clomid will help.

Anyone else ever used the progesterone/clomid combo?

Good morning all.

i am on cd25 without take any fertomid (generic of clomid) this month. I have tender breasts for the past 2 days. Hopefully my AF dont come and i got pregnant naturally or hopefully my AF is coming soon so that i can start my 3rd round of fertomid (generic of clomid).

Good luck to all thats on the clomid train.

morning girls no gym got to take my oh mum docs for bloods done then chill chill chill x x x

 

[beanhunter]

Hello all.
I've just got back home. Operation went well but not really sure yet what treatment will be next. Back in clinic in 3 weeks to find out. I'm really sore though, can't believe that's 2 ops in 11 weeks
Hpt neg yesterday but the decided the op had to be done regardless because of the pain. Unfortunately it means if I was pregnant I'd be likely to miscarry. Temps still v high but guessing that's the op. Chart is in my sig.
Thanks for the support.

 

[MrsBrown]

Beanhunter....thanks for the update and I wi pray for a.speedy recovery for you

Hi Ladies,

I hope you dont mind if i join this thread?

I've started Clomid this cycle, took 50mg from CD2 2-6, currently on CD 12. I went went in for a ultrasound scan on CD9, then said i have three developing follicles in my right ovary the biggest one was 10mm. I'm going back tomorrow to see how much they have grown and for them to tell me when they think I'm going to ovulate.

Don't know if anyone know the answer....? But if you have more than one mature follicle while on clomid, do you ovulate them all?

Thanks

 

[Danielle_jone]

i am now CD 22, testing on saturday and waiting to hear back from doc about bloodwork from yesterday.....i really want to call the office today! lol. congrats to the BFP and babydust to everyone else as well!!

 

[happycloud]

beanhunter - welcome back and quick healing vibes coming your way!

dini - welcome! I'm from ohio too (cinci). I started my period with progesterone too and it worked fine. Then did clomid cd 3-7.

I'm on cd 19 today, like welshgem.

I possibly either o'd on cd 14 or 16. So I don't know how many dpo I am. On fertility friend, if you select one o detector, it says 14, but then on countdowntopregnancy it says that it was probably cd 16.
It doesn't matter to me as long as I DID o and caught the eggy!

Have felt a little full/nauseous last few days but I'm afraid its psychosomatic

 

[TurboTurtle80]

Thanks for the support ladies.

Teddybearpug - I'm so glad you were on last night. You saved me from total breakdown. =) I can't wait till you can test!

MrsBrown - I definitely will leave it alone now. I don't normally ovulate due to the cysts and I'm very hypothyroid so I only have periods on my own once in a long while.

Justwantababy - Doin ok luv, how bout u? I don't believe I scratched myself. It was like EW with a brownish red color. Not enough for me to think full af, but enough to scare me. My cervix is high and I have all the signs of ovulation, but idk. I'm sure my body is in shock mode with all these changes. Now I just have light cramping.

Beanhunter - I'm happy everything went well hun. I hope you have a fast recovery so you can get your next eggy. Stay positive luv.

Welcome to the new gals. Lmk if you want me to add you to our calendar. Good luck to those getting ready to test and in the 2ww. I appreciate all you girls. My bf is getting annoyed w baby talk so its nice to have an outlet and extra support.

I thought I'd share my story to give you all some hope. I got only 2 AFs in 17mths after coming off the pill. Nothing wrong with me apparently, I had all the tests and the specialist said this more common than people think. I seriously doubted anything working and got really depressed while undergoing treatment and waiting for tests. I even went private to avoid the agony of waiting lists.

Anyway, I got my AF induced with progesterone which I took for 7 days and then started on clomid days 2-6. Went for my 13 day scan and all looked good and I had ovulation cramps which I'd never had before. We Bd'd from day 9 to day 18 everyday (exhausting), and then on day 20 again just to make sure. I never used ovulation tests and my specialist said just don't focus on timing just BD frequently.

Then after ovulation my stomach has been bloated for nearly 2 weeks, and then a few days ago my boobs started aching (like mild heartburn behind them) and I can't stop eating I am sooo hungry all the time and get twinges below my tummy, to the sides. I've had 2 positive pregnancy tests this week so am happy but shocked clomid worked first time. If you are on clomid I think it's important not to time BD too much but to try to BD everyday or as often as poss in those few days before and during ovulation.

So it can work and I really hope everyone on here gets their BFPs x

 

[happycloud]

Hey girls. So as I was checking my cervix before jumping in the shower and I had blood (sorry tmi) . I am praying its just ovulation bleeding, but idk. I might have missed my surge last night bcz my opk was really light today - almost no line at all. If this is af then I had an 18 day cycle. :'(

That's so tricky to figure out! Day 18? Do you chart/temp? Has your temp gone up? Give it a few more days before getting too sad!

 

[wannabeprego]

Question girls, When you take clomid does it make you ovulate earlier or does ovulation stay about the same as before clomid?? I am waiting to ovulate on my first month of clomid and i usually OV on CD 13 or later. I have been doing OPK's to make sure i dont miss it. I just dont know what to expect since this is my first time using it...

I have also heard other girls say the clomid shortens your cycle? Was this the case for you ladies?

 

[TurboTurtle80]

HappyCloud - So very tricky and frustrating. I didn't temp this month although I wish I had bcz it would prolly have explained a lot. Thinking about starting CD1 all over again is disheartening. I'm gonna pick up a bbt therm tonight for sure.

wannabeprego - Idk for sure, but I've heard it makes you ov later.

So at this point its not full af, but enough to make me use a liner. I've heard ov bleeding can be as much as 2 days. I'm still hoping. Maybe bursting thru cystic ovaries causes extra bleeding? Normally with af I'd have horrible cramping by now, but I'm not hurting very much. The female body...Sheesh.

Hi, thanks for sharing, I am on 50 mg aswell but I went for my scan yesterday Cd13 and I have only 1 follicle that is 10mm and my lining is 7mm so he says the lining is good but the follie is not good enough he said there is still a chance but less than 50 percent

 

[lindsayms05]

Hi ladies! I'm so thankful for finding this thread. I'm anxiously waiting for af to start my first clomid cycle. I was diagnosed with PCOS 5 years ago and have only had progesterone induced periods since coming off the pill 2 years ago. I've been on 1,500mg of metformin for 6 months. I'm brand new to actively trying to conceive and am excited/nervous for my first round of clomid!
