No it definately wasn't clomid but I'm not sure, she was a bit vague as really wanted to talk about it in person... will just have to wait for the appt and see. I've never had a problem with ovulating in the past but many years ago I did use clomid for IUI (previous partner) but only half dose. I have wondered about doing the FET at the time of ovulation, I guess DTD has to be avoided at that time as well???
I will have the FET 5 days after ovulation. Def. no DTD is advised to prevent multiples........ So I guess some people follow that advice......;-) depending on their situation. I did listen as I could not handle multiples.
With our history (6 BFN IUI, 4 BFN IVF and 2 BFN FET vs 1 BFP IVF), we always DTD during natural FET cycles. For us, the risk of multiples is very low and it was more important to have an extra chance at a BFP. This is the same reason why we went ahead with this cycle's IUI with potentially 4 eggs being released (based on the last u/s I had a few days before trigger) - the chances of just 1 of those eggs creating a healthy pg is about 6%; the odds of twins is something like 0.3% and the odds of higher order multiples are insignificant. Of course, it's not impossible that we could end up with quads, but I think we have a better chance of winning lotto 3 times in a row...
I don't generally have a problem with O'ing either, but my first FET was the cycle after my first IVF and, as previously mentioned, O can be delayed in the cycle after an IVF. The reason that was potentially a problem was because we were doing the FET in December, so I had to O in time for transfer to happen before the Christmas shut-down... That was why he offered the clomid - to help with the timing.
Just an update from me... I had a scan today and he is happy with how it all looks, just have to wait to see blood test results tomorrow and if all good I am booked in for an FET next Wednesday!
I guess it all comes down to the couples circumstances, I've never been told what our odds are of conceiving naturally so I prob wouldn't risk it as DH def doesn't want twins if it can be avoided as he already has 3 children from a previous marriage so 1 will be it for us....
Hi Juniper - Could you please take me off the TWW and put me into the BFP in February... It's just in time, before the end of the month! Thanks heaps!
I had the result back from the clinic and the HCG has risen to 3345 and progesterone up to 77. I couldn't believe it when they told me. With my mm/c I didn't have this high a number till I was 8 or 9 weeks :$ Next week another blood test and then a viability scan the week after. Fingers crossed.
Hopefully you girls will be right behind me with BFP's - am keeping my fingers crossed for you and will be stalking! xxx
Yay!! Bloods came back good, so I start on progesterone pessaries tomorrow and have a transfer Wednesday morning, 6th march! Fingers crossed and praying hard for this one to be THE ONE!!
