Trying preseed this time!

[overanalyzer]

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions??? I followed this thread for awhile and believe that I read some of you were on Clomid? If this is accurate and I'm not confusing this thread with another, I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing your Clomid experience? I tried searching the thread to go back and see who tried it, etc but this thread is quite long haha! How many cycles you tried, Did it work?, overall experience, anything really! I finished my first round on the 7th of this month. I have a lot of thoughts/feelings about it so wondering if they are normal to have.

Thanks you!

I also just finished my first round, so will update you as things happen!

I was on 4 rounds of 50mg clomid with no bfp. When I began seeing my RE, he upped my dose to 100mg and I did that with a trigger shot and IUI and the third time gave me my bfp My experience with clomid was easy. I had no side effects other than it dried up my cervical mucous. But I just took mucinex for that and it helped. Good luck to you hun!

Mrs. Kibler, love your blog! The pics are too cute. I just had my 5wk scan today and the sac is in the uterus so i am relieved that it isnt an ectopic i go back next week hopefully to see how many in the sac and to hear a hb. How long did your ms last for? i am so worried about it kicking in, i hate throwing up

Mrs.326, hopefully you go back to bf in no time. Hope you are adjusting well and baby davis is growing big and healthy every day

 

[MrsKibler]

Mrsweyess- I never spell your name right- sorry I hope all your blood work came back good!!

Hope- I'm so glad your five week scan went well! Can't wait to hear about next weeks!! How exciting!! My MS was only really week 8+9 week 10 my appetite wasn't fully back but was much better- Now I'm feeling great. I still get a little queasy with some smells or food but I'll take it I'm glad you liked my blog!! For some reason tumblr isn't working today I was able to get my 12 week picture in but we posted online our final announcement to the rest of the world- I added the link and its not working for anyone Oh well.

My appt this morning went well!! Heard the heartbeat- Oh girls its just the most comforting feeling!! Dr said it was 130's/140's. We actually heard a swishing noise which was the baby moving. Pretty cool Bring on the 2nd trimester!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mrswemyss]

lol my mom spells it wrong still so do not feel bad! Yes my last HCG level was 17,356 ))

 

[Hope1409]

How are you ladies doing? It's been quiet here lately.

Mrs.326, how is Davis doing? Are you back to bf him again?

Mrs.Kibler how does officially being in second tri feel? I cannot wait to get there, I am only halfway :/

Mrs.W you have your scan Thursday also right? Can't wait to hear all about it!

Afm, I have my scan on Thursday which feels a lifetime away. Dh and I bought a cute monkey sleeper/rocker for our parents so we can give them that on Xmas day. I can't wait to see their reaction! Even though my mom knew about my iui, I lied to her and told her this last one didn't work, so she has noooo idea what's coming to her, lol my nausea is ridiculous, nothing seems to help it. I have no appetite for any food, I have to force myself to eat bland things like steamed rice or yogurt. And my prenatal vitamins are so hard to swallow so I'm a little stressed about that because I don't want my little bean to be deprived of what he needs.

 

[mrswemyss]

Yes tomorrow!!! Can't wait

 

[MrsKibler]

How did the scan go mrswemyss?

Hope- I bet your are just dying!! just a couple days try taking vitamin b6. I heard for some it works wonders. I was on a yogurt diet for a bit to! Update us thursday!

I'm feeling great now so happy to be in 2nd trimester!!! We are moving today and tomorrow morning,, so it has been a bit stressful, and doesn't feel like christmas time at all. Belly is actually starting to pop now too! Looking forward to our next appt on the 8th!!

 

[Hope1409]

glad to hear your doing well mrs.kibler. im hanging in there. i had my scan this past thursday and we heard the heartbeat!!!! it was music to my ears i graduated from my re and i get to go back to my obgyn for my prenatal visit on the 2nd of january. i will be a little over 8 weeks by then, closer to 9. nausea has eased off a bit but i still get waves of it. i just keep reminding myself that i am one week closer to second tri

Merry Christmas to all you wonderful ladies and enjoy your time with family and friends!!!

 

[Mrs.326]

Hi ladies!! Sorry I've been MIA lately. This little guy keeps be pretty busy

We're still dealing with jaundice but he's been a champ at switching between breast and bottle. We found out we're dealing with breast milk jaundice.. Basically there's a hormone in my milk that's keeping him from voiding the bilirubin, so that's why his levels have stayed high, although they're finally below 10 which is good!! Beast feeding is the easiest/hardest thing I've ever done. It can definitely be stressful and other times its the most amazing experience. If you guys decide to do it my best advice is to be patient and persistent. It gets easier after the 3rd week. I'm going to try to keep with it until at least 6 months, but I'm not sure how pumping at work will be since I'm in and out of my office so much and I loathe pumping!!! (Not everyone does though, so don't worry ) He's definitely well fed though! He's already up to 9lb 2oz at 4.5 weeks (up from 7lb 4oz at birth!). It's amazon how much they change in such a short time. I'll try to get I again in the morning to post some new pics.

Glad to read you're all doing well!!! I am SO happy for you all can't wait to see scans from hope & mrswemyss and mrs.kibler, I'm about to go check out your blog Welcome to the 2nd tri by the way. I felt the best during 2nd tri, although I never had the 2nd tri energy they talk about. Hope it all goes well for you!

Looking forward to more updates from you ladies

 

[Hope1409]

Just dropping in here to wish all you wonderful ladies a happy new year! I wish only the best and greatest for 2013!!!!

I hope you are all doing well! I am excited for my appt tomorrow with my ob but nervous also. Hopefully our little walnut is healthy and growing as he or she should!

 

[Mrs B.]

Happy New Year Hope Hope your appt went well.

MrsK - Hope all is going well with you and bump

Mrs.326 - Hope all is well and Davis is doing good

AFM - had my referral appt - I'll be having an HSG test in the next few weeks but if that comes back ok doc basically said there's nothing more she can suggest and no reason why I can't get pregnant naturally so keep trying (helpful when you've already been trying for 20 months!). I might get the chance to be referred for IVF in July assuming I'm not PG by then...I could have IUI but doc doesn't see much point - she doesn't think the chances are worth the effort when I could just go for IVF. I guess I'll way up the options if it gets to that. Hopefully I will be joining you ladies with a bump one of these days

 

[MrsKibler]

Hey everyone!!!! Hope all is going well!!!

Hope- how is the little one???? How are you?? Any MS!!!

Mrsb- good luck with ur hsg!! Make sure u take some pain reliever before u go in!! And try to stay relaxed!

Afm- baby and I are doing great!! We had our 16wk appt baby's heart rate was in the 140's . I still swear up and down its a girl!!! We find out feb 7th. can't wait!! Has anyone registered? I'm getting so anxious!!!!!!! I'm so lost on what the best everything is. I need to start doing some research!!!

 

[Kzee]

Hello all! Happy New Year!

Glad everyone seems to be getting on great!

Mrs. B, i too have my HSG in a couple of weeks. I'm scared after reading all the horror stories on here!! Help!

Ready to get the ball rolling again after a bit of a TTC break. I'm not sure what the next step will be after the HSG. I think another SA from my OH and then go from there. IVF maybe? My specialist hasn't mentioned IUI to us but i'll ask. I would be happy to try that before IVF as i've seen it works, for you guys!!! Also, IVF scares me so much as it's the last resort.

Speak soon xx

 

[Hope1409]

Hi ladies! My appointments so far have gone great! I have my next one on Wednesday.

Mrs.K I'm doing good. No actual vomiting (yet) but just the constant nausea and no food sounds appealing kind of thing. I haven't gained a single pound yet so that's good at least lol. I'm really not showing yet but my pants are starting to get a little snug. How are you doing? I can't wait until you find out the sex!!!! How exciting!

Mrs.B and Kazee, the HSG is not all that horrific as you read online so please don't worry too much. It is an uncomfortable procedure but nothing we can't handle just make sure you take 4 Advil (ibuprofen) about 45 min before the procedure.

As for iui....well I am proof that it works so definitely as your doc about it before jumping to IVF. I know a lot of women on here tried five or six cycles of iui before they got their BFP. I think the trick is to make sure your doc does medicated iui with trigger shot, this way you have more control on timing.

 

[MrsKibler]

Hope- how was your appt?????????????

Baby lieve gave us quite the scare this morning. I woke up have extreme chest pain, it was knocking the wind out of me! We finally went to ER about 45min later. I had an abnormal EKG, and my right lung had some abnormal sounds. They couldn't figure out what caused that but, when they went to check the baby with the Doppler they couldn't find the heartbeat!!! Two people tried for about 35 minutes. It felt like forever in hell. Finally they brought over ultrasound over and found the baby, just waving away at us!!!! Heart beat was in the 140s . I told DH that the baby was grounded. Scared me so much. I couldn't imagine what it feels like to go through a miscarriage but the actual thought was just awful. We had a couple patients come in for vaginal bleeding today and I just wanted to cry with them. I put my sweater on to hide my belly so they wouldn't have to see it, but I just wanted to hold their hand instead of drawing their blood.
I hope that all is well with everyone, I will continue to say prayers for all you ladies!!!
Thankyou for all your support. Sorry for the sap story!!

 

[Mrs.326]

Kzee & Mrs B - best of luck to you both with your HSGs! I hope everything works out for you both!

Hope & MrsKibler I am so happy to hear things are going well!! I can't wait to hear what you're expecting!! I'm on my phone now, but I promise I'll try to post some pics of Davis soon! He's already grown so much!! He's already over 13lbs. He's such a happy boy, too. No giggles yet, but he has the biggest smile. It melts my heart

 

[Mrs B.]

Hey,

Had my HSG last week which was fine - Kzee I might be a bit late with some comforting words but just to let you know the HSG was not bad at all. I did take a painkiller half an hour before (forgot to take it an hour before!). The worst part for me was the speculum but I always find that painful - the actual HSG was fine. Good luck with yours (or I hope it went well if it has already happened!)

Oh MrsKibler, that must have been awful! So glad to hear everything turned out ok in the end and you got to see baby waving at you

Mrs.326, we'd love to see some pics of Davis! It's great to hear he's doing so well!

 

[overanalyzer]

Would you guys mind if I asked another question on this thread? I've asked a couple in the past and have greatly appreciated your help.

This time wondering about HSG test. For those who have had it, will I be fine to go back to work afterwards?

Thanks!

you should be fine to go back to work. you will most likely have some spotting so will need to wear a sanitary pad and have a few ibuprofin for cramps. i myself came home and just rested but i was capable to go to work if i needed to. good luck.

hope all you ladies are doing well. so far so good with me. i hope to find out the sex in a few weeks at my 16 week scan....if not i might book a private scan so i can know before my bday. this way i can do a gender reveal at my party
