LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin #2

[linda5]

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.

Bec - Congratulations, well officially now Sending you tons of sticky vibes

OG - I never knew ovaries could 'go missing' - wow, you find out new stuff all the time. GL for Monday

Welcome to Hope. Sorry to hear you have suffered 2 m/c. I hope the increase in dosage for Clomid works. Fingers crossed

Saffy - Don't be hard on yourself about having a mini break down. It is just the meds and there is nothing you can do about it. My DH is the same - no, actually he looks at me like I am a psycho! lol

Linda - GL with the testing.

Hello to everyone else - hope you are all well. Porsche, haven't heard from you in a while.

[Trying To]

I have PCOS and have been on clomid for 2 1/2 yrs (with a 4 mth break due mc), i have just start my 2nd round 150mg of clomid.... experiencing alot pain and discomfort this time around

Has anyone else been on clomid for a simliar period of time??

I eat like a rabit and exercise heaps but i am finding it very hard to lose any weight.

Hi guys,
It looks like I'm on my way back here with you guys. My HCG level only went up from 65 to 71 in 4 days so things aren't good. I am...devastated. I'll admit it. I'm trying to hold it together until DS goes to bed. Back to the DR tomorrow to see what's happening.
Back to clomid round 9, probably.

Sorry to hear about your side affects on clomid.I have only been on the clomid for 2 months.My doctor up the dose to 100mg.I notice that i got alot of hot flashes more and headache.No pains or anything.Are you talking about pains around ovulation time or differents pains from the medicine.Maybe you should talk to your doctor about the pains.Hope you feel better! : linda

Oh Bec I truly feel for you. Have a good cry, vent and even a spac at the world. It helps a little. I'm really dissapointed for you. I'll have my FX for you today. I really hope the pathology people have made a mistake.

[becnxavi]

Thanks Tam & Porsche, I hope it's a mistake, but it's probably not I suppose. U/S and BT today to see what's happening. Porsche, I cried all night, I kept waking up and crying. Poor DH kept getting woken up. Are you doing ok?
Tam- hope you're well, hon.
I'll let you know how things go, should know tonight.
Bye for now,
Bec

[Saffy]

Bec- sorry you got sh*tty news, I really hope that things work out, I can understand why you are devastated- why is everything so hard? by the ton for you darling xx

Porsche- hi hon, how are you going?

Linda-have you started your OPK tests yet?

TryingTo- welcome hon, I haven't heard of anyone on clomid for that long! Personally I find the sideeffects a bit much so I will move onto something else soon if this doesn't work. Ithink the weight is a symptom of PCOS? Does your doctor have a plan for what you are going to do next? I hope this clomid works for you, the dose is high, no wonder you have side effects! Best of luck to you xx

RhiChiCHi- Thanks for your words, my DH thinks I am a psycho too, oh well they are stuck with us now! hehe. I miss the person I used to be though, I feel like i am always crying about something these days.

Hope- good luck with your scan today x

AFM-CD10 today, got a positive OPK yesterday- so early! so we yesterday and today but its ridiculous, who knows whats going on, I don't get any EWCM since being on the clomid.
Good luck to everyone!

Hi Ladies

I'm thinking of you today Bec. I understand about the crying all night. I did that as well. DH just held me when I cried. But I have to pull myself together.

I've been struggling for a bit. So for my own health I've kept away from replying to forums. But I couldn't not help but reply to yours.

Saffy - I'm not so bad today. I feel like why are we even bothering anymore this is all just way too hard.

We had my post op appointment yesterday and my cervix is now closed. I'm still spotting brown which is really annoying me. FS said possibly some more antibiotics to get rid of any tissue left. Not that she can see if there is def any tissue left. But we decided to leave it for the next few days and see how we go. She believes that it will settle down in the next few days but if it doesn't then she'll send me for a formal scan and go from there. Either way I have to give her a call on Tuesday and then more ruddy waiting.

As for your Oing early and EWCM. I found that if I went for a walk in the afternoon and checked after that I usually had some EWCM. I don't get copious amounts but enough to tell. Well that was the last 2 cycles who knows when or if it will happen next time.

I guess it is possible to O earlier but I thought the earliest was CD14?

[Saffy]

Oh Porsche, it is depressing isn't it? So hard to pull yourself up and keep going....I guess we have to look to the future and focus on the final outcome, otherwise it just seems pointless.

Both of my pregnancies have definately been conceived on CD11, so you can realistically o at any time, its the length after ovulating that is always the same. I know someone who got pregnant after 'O'ing on CD6! I double checked with an OPK today and defiantley positive so nothing to do but and Normally off clomid I have heaps of EWCM so its annoying to not have that sign, but will check later (can't go for a walk now its pouring here!!)

I hope your spotting settles down ASAP and you don't need to get a scan,ab's etc., try and hang in there it will get better eventually xx

[becnxavi]

I understand Porsche.
Thanks Saffy, GL DTD. Hope BFP on on it's way for all of us

[tammara]

Ive got my fingers crossed for you bec i hope your bubba is just a slow grower

And porcha it will get easier, unfortunately it gets pretty hard before it gets easier but it does get better xxoo

Bec, I hope that you are wrong I am sending you tons of sticky vibes. Please keep us posted. I don't know what else to say. *Hugs*

Hi Trying to & welcome. Do you know if you are insulin dependent with your PCOS? If you are they will usually prescribe Metformin which can help aid weight loss - perhaps this is something that can be spoken to with your FS? I have only been on Clomid for 6 mths & at 50mg. It shows that I am Oing but no pg yet. Can they consider putting you on Femara? - I believe the side effects are lesser.

Saffy - GL with the DTD! I hope you catch that egg.

Porsche - I wish there was something I could say that would make you feel better, but I know that there is nothing. But what I do want to say is that we are here for you - even if you just want to post a AFM/vent.

Hello to everyone else.

Hi girls.
HCG has dropped so m/c is impending. Scan showed nothing in uterus so things may have been reabsorbed already. I'll see specialist tomorrow and see what next step is, whether I stay on clomid or move on to something else. I don't know right now whether I can do all of this again.
Best Wishes to everyone that BFP is right around the corner.
Bec

[Keli]

Oh darling Bec, my thoughts & prayers are with both you & DH, take care of each other!
All my love, Keli xxoo

Oh Bec

My heart goes out to you. It's such a terrible time for you at the moment. I can't imagine what it is like for you. I'm a bit like you. Do you do more clomid or do you move on? It's hard to think about that right now. You'll work it out when your ready. It's just completely not fair.

My thought are with you and your DH.
