LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin #2

[RhiChiChi]

OG - I certainly know what you mean! DH & I had a blue about making a tossed salad! As he was walking away from me I screamed 'This isn't over yet!' OMG what a freak! I hope things settle down for you. They might suggest Femarra (sp?) GL

Bec - Nah, stopped bothering with Clomid this month. Thought if it didn't happen in the past 6 cycles it ain't gonna happen! I had more success not on Clomid! Great news about the HCG levels! Try not to stress too much about it, as long as they continue to rise all should be well Got a due date yet?

Mexz - Glad to hear all is well with you! Sorry to hear ms has kicked in, but on the flip side a bit of a blessing!

Saffy - Wow - IVF! I didn't know about the police checks Best of luck

Linda - Yeah the risk on any dose of clomid is multiples. The dosage depends on your progesterone test at CD21 (I think). So I O no worries on 50mg, so no need to up the dosage.

Hi Julia,
Due date is looking to be somewhere between 28th-30th December. (just a few more days and I could get the maternity leave payment! lol) I have a dating scan on the 10th May if all goes well till then.
Hope you have some luck without clomid. Maybe some time not worrying about it is just what you need!
Have a great weekend anyway,
Bec

Hey Rhi - the lap might actually do the trick for you. My FS said he sees it time and time again when women have a lap and within 3 months they are pg. It happened to me on my first cycle of clomid after the lap, so cross fingers it happens to you too.

Hi guys,
hope you've have a good long weekend (well you Aussies anyway, everyone else I just hope you're having a great normal length weekend!)
Welcome Nellie!- I really hope all goes well for you on Femera! Is that similar to clomid?
Julia- How did you go at the FS today?

Mez- I can't believe you are 9 weeks already! That's gone so fast. Hope the M/s isn't too bad.

Linda- I had bad headaches on clomid. They usually go away a day or so after you take the last tablet.

Hi Claudette,Saffy, OG hope life is good for you all!
G'day to floaters & KEli, Tamarra & Porshe hope you are all well

Thank you so much.i notice after i got off my period i still have some muscus .Is that normal too being on the clomid. When i took it last mouth i didnt have that much mucus after my period,i was on 50 mg last month and now this month im on 100mg and getting alot more side affect then when i was on 50 mg. linda

Hi girls, hope everyone's long weekend has gone well.

Linda- I am on my 3rd month of 50mg, no real side effects the 1st 2 months, but this month they were bad, esp on saturday when I was running around at work- really lightheaded and dizzy and just felt weird, also hot flushes. I did have a headache last month really badly for a few days but it went with panadol. I think I will go ala natural next cycle. Hope your sideeffects finish now you aren't taking hte tablets, I think that is what happens.

Clamgee- its frustrating isn't it, I get really down about it too, nothing we can do except soldier on! Hope it stays sunny in scotland x

Nellym- welcome to the thread- I hope you arent here for very long!! Is femara the same as clomid?
Orki- how are you? Hope things are going well

Rhi CHiChi- good luck with your upcoming lap, maybe you won't need it??

All the girls who are UTD- hope all going well with you.

I am doing nightshift tonight- wish me luck with staying awake!

[nellym]

Thanks ladies, yes I hope I am not here too long either

Bec and Saf - yes clomid is similar to clomid. I believe though it is slightly different because it only produces one egg.

I will let you know how I go with any side effects.

Hope everyone had a good weekend and is ready to take on another week.

Yes im taking the pill form of clomid ,my headache did go away but i had it for 2 days.Crazy side affect.I start testing in 2 days ovualtion kit.Wish me luck!!! Linda

[Saffy]

Hi Linda,
good luck with the ovulation tests, they are great I find as it gives you a better idea of whats going on. Glad the headache is gone. I am going to start my ovulation tests soon as I ovulate usually around day 11 or so, once I was day 9, so I have to get in early.
Hopefully we will both get good news in a few weeks!
I really really want this to work this month, it feels like I will never get pregnant.
Good luck to you!!

Whats the HTE tablets?,also i was wondering what that medicine is that everyone is taking called Metformin.I havent heared of that and my doctor just put me on Clomid and said i had a un explained infetility.. thanks Linda

[tammara]

Hi linda

Im on metformin for two reasons, ive got high insulin and also to get my periods regular and to try and keep me regular. I started to take it in december 2008 i think and it worked for me i fell preg in feb 2009 . But after i m/c that one it keept me regular but no luck with falling preg again.

Hope this gives you some understanding, but im sure people are on it for different reasons.
