Clomid and vaginal ultrasound

[neane]

Hey flowergal it really does depend my fs did u/sounds on me more frequently due to the extent of my polycystic ovarian syndrome as i had over 30 follicles on each ovary that they could count. I think everyone is different with the symptoms that they experience and i do know that it is absaloutely wonderful to hear from someone else who has experienced something similiar just to know that you are not going nuts I am glad that you are having a good day and good luck for your test on friday and i really hope those hormones kick in and your in business.

Thanks Neane...

had blood test on Friday and my hormones had risen nicely so went in for my ultrasound this morning.

It was very painful when the probe went in, but was ok once in.

I had lots of follicles but only measured 1.1 rather than 1.8 as they are meant too, so they said I'd prob have to have another scan on Tuesday to see if any of them had grown. I also had a blood test today. just got the results back for that and the nurse said my hormones had dropped again! This means I won't have an ultrasound on Tuesday now. I am just to have a blood test on Tuesday and if my hormones have gone up again I will have another scan.

That was pretty upsetting! I got my hopes up as the Nurse was fairly confident that the follicles would develop further in the next few days, and then the blood test showed my hormones had dropped again! Pretty dissapointing but I guess I'll just hope that my hormones are back up again on Tuesday. I normally have a really long cycle so this may be why.

hey there, i Know your disappointed but keep your chin up, your body needs sometime to adjust to the onslaught of having all of a sudden produce big ripe juicy follicles and this is frusturating because all you want is to have a positive result and know that in 9months time you will holding the most precious gift in the whole wide world. I found it really hard to and i also found it good to keep things in perspective by writing in my diary and having bellybelly of course. If your not happy using the clomid you could talk with your fs about doing fsh injections which will grow your follicles to the desired size, i found it just as if only a tiny bit more expensive as buying the clomid and had less reactions mood swings. However just because i had a bad rap on clomid doesn't mean everyone else will sorry about that, hang in there chick it will happen, usually when you give up is when it happens. talk with you soon. neane.

Thanks for your support neane

i find it difficult because my younger sister got pregnant on the first month of taking Clomid... but i think I have a more severe hormonal imbalance than she does.

I know that it's only the first month on it, but keep getting my hopes up, it's impossible not to - I'm sure you would know that!

i will try to stay postive

can you have Clomid and FSH injections at the same time??

I'm not sure maybe ask your fs and see what he or she says. you will get there
