Clomid Question

[musik]

Kiki: Saw the doc yesterday, no referral yet as I need to talk to the place nearby which takes private patients but they are not there till tomorrow, but she said no worries on writing it just need to find out where and what FS I will see. Is all going good though, still gonna try for a BFP this cycle anyway, who knows with these things eh Best of luck for your BFP too! I am so happy to have found this site because I have not told any family we are trying again!

Hi Kiki, Gizzmo and all other clomid sisters!

Well, my oestrogen has gone down not up today so they're not even bothering to do another ultrasound and are saying the clomid's not working. My FS says I need FSH injections next but I can't get an appointment to see him until end of November and the we're going away in December so it probably won't happen until next year.... aaaagh. Am so devastated and again, wasn;t prepared for how I felt when they told me today. I really believed that the clomid would work... there seemed to be so many stories of it working first time!

I really hope that your cycles are going better than mine.

Anyone have any experience of FSH injections with PCOS?

Lots of luck and good wishes ,
LS

Kiki- sorry didn't answer your question. Yes I am seeing a FS and it seems that they do much more monitoring with the clomid which lets you know exactly whats going on. From what I've read the success rate is higher with monitoring becasue you know exactly when you need to have sex - although if you're covering your bases in that department then I'm sure it's fine. The other thing is you will know if you have lots of follicles and have high chance of multiples so you have more control. Maybe if you're not successful after a couple of cycles you should go to a FS?? Hopefully you won't need though... Not sure why specialists seem to do it so differently. Anyway, good luck!

Hi Lyra,
I am so sorry to hear your news
I dont know what to say, but I know how devastating it is.
Keep your spirits high, keep practising and go out and enjoy the festive season. Now that you are not UTD you can indulge in a few Xmas ****tails

I am feeling a little disheartened now because i have all my hopes pinned on Clomid working for us this month too, I will be just as devastated as you when it doesnt work for me. This is the only month we can try as my DH is away for work for next 6 months!! So if it doesnt work this month I will have to try all over again next year back at the beginning of another 3 month cycle on Clomid. (Sorry to add in my own distress at your time of need)

I have a friend that has PCOS (and some other girlly thing i can't remember) and they were TTC naturally for 5 years!! Her condition wasnt improving and she was doing everything the doctors said. Because of her case she couldnt try any fertility drugs because she had to get her situation under control first. After so many years they put having a baby on the back burner and booked a massive dream holiday to south america. Spent months saving and paying it off. 2 months before they were suppossed to fly out she found out she was pregnant No drugs, no intervention, it just happened.

So hang in there, what will be will be. Thinking of you and sending you all my positive energy

Hey everyone

Musik: Yeh I have my blood test @ 8am and then phone up @ 4pm to get my results. That siuts me great.

Lyra: Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that. Try and keep you head up high and stay positive

Kiki: I had another blood test today and my estreogon is high (not sure what figure exactly, I forgot to ask). I have to go into the clinic (about an hour drive north) tomorrow morning. I have to get up @ 5am
I will then have a blood test first thing, then an internal ultrasound ouch
I then have to have my HCG6 trigger. They said if my eggy is big enough I will have the IUI on Sunday, if not I will be ovulating on Monday and will go in again
How exciting.
How's everything going with you?????

Goodluck girlies

Hey Kiki,
Just to keep you posted. I went into my fertility Centre this morning around 6am had an internal ultra sound and I have 1 big folicle @ 22mm (which is good, It has to be more than 16mm) I then got given the trigger for my partner to do on my tonight @ 9pm. I was also given some tablets thinggy's (internal ones as well. sorry if too much info


that will thicken up my uterus.
The Dr said I have a very good looking womb lol
He also said that my uterus already has a nice lining of about 8mm on it.
I have to ring up today @ 2pm to find out if we go in tomorrow on Monday for the IUI.
How is everything going for you????

Fingers crossed and all the best

Hey Gizzmo - It looks like i am finally ovulating. I did my opk @ 11pm last night and got a positive result, then did another one this morning @ 8.30am and got a blaring positive straight away! I am so glad i started BDing Friday night. I think we (DH & I) have actually managed to co-ordinate our hard work with we have

I am feeling very positive because finally my BBT, CM, OPK, Maybe Baby are all telling me the same things at the same time. If i dont catch this this time, i dont know what else i can do!

Good luck for your IUI!!! Not sure which day you ended up getting called in. This is so exciting, fingers crossed we could be UTD together

Well I better stop getting excited, disappointment is easier to deal with if your a pessimist lol.

Good luck, look forward to hearing from you
