I can't believe this is happening to me. I now have a new left sided 5cm cyst. So the pain the last few days wasn't ov. My last op was only 2.5 weeks ago. Seeing the consultant tomorrow but feeling scared and also like maybe this is a sign to stop ttc and think about other options.

omg, so sorry this is happening to you lets us know what the consultant says

So sorry to hear this news luv. So frustrating I'm sure. Hang in there sweetie. Has your doc talked to you about a low carb diet? Mine had me start straight away. It shrinks cysts fast, but I haven't had a scan lately to see what's going on. I think Metformin helps also. Good luck hun.

I am so so sorry this is happening to you Beanhunter
Don't give up sweetie!! Don't give up!!!
I have to ask this... Are they sure that it is not an ovulation cyst?? or related to ovulation?? Remember, last cycle I had a 5cm cyst on my the same ovary that I had my 2 mature follicles.. And it went away in 2 weeks.. Did they look for follicles? and how thick your lining is?

So... I guess today is cd7 for me of my natural cycle... I haven't decided if I want to waste any money on opks this month, or just wait for the ultrasounds to see if there is any possibility that I could possibly ovulate on my own.. Which I know is a slim chance.. Especially with this large cyst..

I am still going to temp.. That doesn't cost anything LOL. And we have decided carry on with this cycle.. I just can't let this cycle pass me by.. I can't give up.. So I spoke with my obgyn and we are going to continue on with the natural cycle and hope for the best..

This is going to be TMI sorry!! I thought that when the FS said "at home insemination" that meant like using a "surenge (sp?)" or something like that to conceive.. But turns out we can carry on like "normal" except OH only enters haha when he is ready to let the little swimmers go.. So no, not very romantic.. But we are still going to try.. Doctor also told me that we could use preseed and softcups if that is easier.. It will all be worth it in the end, rite?? No matter how our little bean is concieved...............

Hi just had a good read through some of the thread, i have just started clomid 50mg taking CD 2/6 currently on CD10 got my scan tomorrow.

I have read that a few peeps are taking "Provera"

Ive not heard any mention of this until I joined this site yesterday

Any chance someone could give me a simple explanation as to what it is and does please

Thanks
Emma

 

[caz & bob]

clomid is used to help ovulation but people can take it who ovulat on there own if you take it 1-5 2-6 you will get more eggs but if you take it 3-7 5-9 you will get more quality eggs clomid has some side effects hot flushes headaches tender boobs everybody is different who takes it x x x

Hi Ladies, I hope you don't mind me joining the thread. This month is the first time for me on Clomid (I have PCOS). No side effects so far except for hot flushes! I am currently on CD8.

I am very nervous..... I don't really have anyone as support so thought I'd join in on the thread as you all seem to be great! Any advise on how to relax and stay postive would be fab!

Congrats Xanders_mommy!!

LOL. I have been taking my temp off and on since we decided TTC.. But last month was my first consistent month. My temps are just a little bit higher than usual.. I think that you are measuring in Celsius?? I am taking my temp in Ferinheight.. So I found a website where I can convert them for us..

ME
97.72 F
or
36.51 C

YOU
36.16 C
or
97.09 F

so we are close!

honestly thats what i thought at home semination was!! lol i was imagining a turkey baster thing....but hey, i would do it if thats what it took!! I'm glad your going to give this month a go and not wait!

I on on cd 14 and i think i'm really close to ovulation? I am having ovulation pain, but its not as intense and i have felt alot of cm down there but i cannot tell if its ewcm, but i really think i should ovulate soon...i hope!! my opks are barely showing up though..i some of you ladies could, please look at my chart and tell me what you think?

Hi I wish this was here when I went through clomid hell the first time round a few tips for you when you are taking clomid facials one a week clomid causes bad skin.get a gel cold pack cause you will more then likely get hot flashes flat shoes for when you get a dizzy spell trust me dizzy spell + heels = injury ,in my case I fell into a garden in a dress not a good look lol.the other reason I am here I am going back for baby number two and wishing sticky beans to all and a huge dose of baby dust to you all and remember you are not alone.

Hi ladies-

I made another thread for this but thought I'd ask here also. What is the latest you've ever ovulated on clomid?

Last cycle I took it on CD5-9 and ovulated on CD 23. So in order to try to move it up a bit I took it CD3-7. However I am now on CD 20 and no O yet. So now I am all worried that I am not going to ovulate this cycle.

My cervix has felt higher, softer and more open the past few days, but I only started checking it a week ago so its hard for me to tell. I also have no CM but I think that is a side effect from clomid.

when ii took it 3-9 i ovulated the latest on cd 20 i think. I'm sure you will ovulate soon, dont give up! you just might be a late bloomer! fx'd for you!

 

[scerena]

Thanks prettynpink why was the website called?
Trishg21- apparently they say I do not ovulate when I have me cd13 scan but I get positive opks between cd 17-20, hopefully you are just ovulating late Hun!
Hopingfortwo- I've been lucky with the side effects minor hot flushes and migranes on my first round they were my main side effects, hopefully baby number 2 will be quicker for you!

Hi Ladies

I don't know if sosmeone asked this or not, but does clomid make you hungry? I feel like I have a bottomless pit that can't ever be full. Aslo, does clomid interefe with OPKs? I feel like I am about to O, have tons of EWCM, but all negatives so far. they are not even getting darker by the day. Weird! Any info would be appreciated. thanks Ladies

 

[scerena]

Good news! Saw the top specialist at the hospital today- I didn't have to tell him what i wanted- he has arranged for my laparoscopy and I should have it before xmas he said hopefully... Then he said if everything's ok he will prob try me on clomid with a injection (trigger shot I think he said) so until then natural cycles but I do have some spare clomid so may use that one or two of the months whilst I wait...
He had oh get bloods drawn to see if his testosterone levels are getting better too...
I'm happy as that's all exactly what I wanted to be told today I didn't want to swap hospitals... Hopefully I get a bfp in the mean time
Oh yh the nurse also said I wasn't ovulating and he said I was and for me to have a positive opk and periods (as I rarely have them then I def have)

Beanhunter- how did you get on????xx

 

[caz & bob]

4boys1girl yes it makes you hungry hun no it shouldn't interfere with your opks hun x x x
