LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin #2

[Porsche]

Hi Linda

I had a progesterone level of 64. It only indicates that you have ovulated. It won't tell you if you are pregnant.

[RhiChiChi]

I have just caught up on all the posts & have had a good giggle I love that we are all on the same page, makes me feel less alone & less freaky :P

Anyway, I won't attempt persies as DD is awake and I know she will interrupt me whilst I am mid way through ...... speak of the little one, here she is now lol

Linda - I just wanted to second what Porsche said, the prog test is only to confirm that you O, unfortunately you have to do the same waiting prior to being on Clomid :S Just remember we are here if you need to vent during that time.

AFM - Went to the Naturopath today & she has given me some lovely concoctions :S I am off to Google the contents lol I did ask about Royal Jelly & she said she has heard very good things about it but she doesn't use it b/c it aparently there is a high incidence of reaction and she prefers not to take that chance with anyone, so no Royal Jelly. She also told me to follow the CSIRO diet.

Better go, DD needs attention

[Hope!]

Afternoon all. I'm so glad I could bring some giggles to you all. So sorry about the silly question but thanks so much for all your answers, lol.

Elocin: Thanks for the info on pre seed

Linda5: Congrats on the great progesterone levels. Thata a definate O. Like others have said, this doesn't indicate if you are or are not pregnant. for you.

Hi girls,
Porsche- glad the TWW is going quickly for you. It's always the most trying time I reckon! I was thinking of getting some preseed this round too, just to improve the enviro IYKWIM
Hope- no silly questions here! I have wondered the same thing myself, and the sad thing is I'd probably do it the 'other' way if someone said that it would help! lol
Linda- glad o arrived! Hopefully the wait will go fast and this month will be a positive for you.
Rhi- I'm (trying to be) on the CSIRO diet too! It's actually pretty good, except I don't know how poeple find time to cook dinners that take three hours to prepare and then manage to peruade a three year old to eat them...but it's not bad. GL with it. Glad the naturopath appointmtnt went well, I must admit I can't stomach those concoctions!
Saffy- Hope you're feeling abit less fragile today. I fell apart in the staff room at work yesterday and everyone was really nice and hasn't mentioned it again since. We're here if you need to vent hon.

Ahurani, Claudette, and anyone else I've missed, hope you're well and closing in on your BFP.
Mez, Keli, Tammara- hope you're all well.
AFM- managed to inject myself the wrong way today and now have a huge bruise on my stomach. It hurts! I don't even know what I did wrong! I'm hoping doc rings tomorrow so I can arrange my first follie scans for Friday.
Night night all,
Bec

Bec - Some of the recipes are a bit ridiculous. My 3 yo is picky regardless of what I cook unless it is pasta! GL with your scan.

Well, I googled what is in the concoctions she gave me and there is Peony, St Marys Thistle, Flase Unicorn Root, Licorice and Chaste Tree (Vitex) - all to do with estrogen levels & the mentrual cycle, so fingers crossed it hopes along with my lap. She says it should take 3 months as long as I do as she says, which is take her herbs, exercise (doing that) and eat well (trying to do that)

Better go to bed, take care all & hope you are all well.

Elocin- I'm in the same boat- used to have very good levels of EWCM but with clomid it just disappeared! Even DH noticed and asked me about it . If you can still DTD then I wouldn't use pe-seed, we had problems with pain and chaffing so I was using a conception friendly lubricant (can't remember the name) It seems annoying that the clomid increases our ovulations but then reduces the way for the sperm to get to them!

Linda- anything over about 15 means you have ovulated so 44 is a good result, you can ring your doctor and ask him/her to explain to you

Kelly- rubbing banana into the skin sounds easier than what we all do lol, I wish that was all i had to do to get preg hehe! Any news on twins? I used to dread having twins, now staring down the barrel of turning 38 I would love twins!

Hope- good luck with the BT today, hope its good levels x

Bec- shame about those side effects but I hope you O on time x

RhiChiChi-hi how are you going?

Porsche-how are you going on your TWW? Any promising signs?

Hi to everyone else I hav missed, hope you are all going well!

AFM-had a big depression yesterday, I think I've got pmt, cried all the way to work so had to fix up my face when I got there, then when I got home had a fight with DH because I asked him to do one little thing for our mortgage application and he didn't do it of course. I feel like i am doing everything for that and for the ivf application and he just acts like none of it is his business GRRRRR!!! He's apologosed but is still not in the good books with me

Hello my nurse e-mail me back and all she told me was that my levels mean i ovulated and to wait to take a pregancy test. Which im supposed to start may19 which is a sunday.Has anyone had 44.37 prog levels and got pregant.I have been feeling sick since sunday nauses sick, today i got a little bit,but theres a stomach virus going around my house so its hard to tell with the sythoms. Any advice would help .Thank you Linda

Hi Ladies

Bec & Rhi - You guys have more diciplin than i do lol.

Saffy - It's ok to fall off the wagon sometimes. We didn't ask to be in this situation and it's just not fair. I truly believe that god picks us for a reason It just doesn't make it any easier for us to deal with it. (I'm not religous or anything).

I'm 7DPO today and I have cramps. I had them yesterday as well. I had them last time and I got a BFP. But I keep thinking this is all in my mind. Wishful thinking. Technically i can test on Friday being 9DPO which is when I got my first BFP but I'm not convinced I'll get one. I've got 14 HPT's at home calling to me lol.

I'm also trotting off to the loo a bit more as well. I'm taking notes on how many times I go today as yesterday seemed like I spent more time in the loo than doing work at my desk. This is another thing I'm saying is all in my head. I also had a metal taste in my mouth yesterday and this morning.

Do you think I'm reading into this a little too much?

[tammara]

i have everything crossed for you love, ive heard people say its easier to get preg after m/c so you could very well preg. I will keep very positive thoughts for you. lots and lots of luck for you if it were me i would be trying now lol I did my first test about 3 days after the embrio was transfered - i knew it wouldnt show but i had to just incase

Hello thank,it seems like the waiting game takes forever to find out if you are or not.I just to thank all of you for being so supportive .Its nice to to know people that are going throught the same thing.Seems like its been hard for me to get pregant since my misscarriage in oct.Now with clomid it feel like its not working some months. linda

[becnxavi]

Don't lose hope Linda, you never know when a BFP will pop up.

Porsche- sounding good! How awesome if you got pregnant the month you didn't take anything! Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you.

Rhi- good luck following the naturopaths advice. I've been trying hard this week, but I just ate a kit kat so there goes that! I hope it does the job for you though.

Have a good night girls, I'd better cook dinner (not a three hour one!)

[Hope!]

Just a quick update. I got my 21 day Progesterone test results today and it was at a lovely 89. Such a huge jump up from last time (30.9) so I am pretty over the moon with these results. Lets hope I can keep these levels up.

Hello to all of you. sorry for the quick post, gotta go get dinner. Hope you are all well and keeping positive.

[linda5]

Hi Linda

I had a progesterone level of 64. It only indicates that you have ovulated. It won't tell you if you are pregnant.

Did you end up pregant that month you had the progesterone level that high.Your was higher then mine was. Thank you. linda

[Porsche]

Hi Ladies

Linda - No I didn't end up pregnant that cycle. That cycle was the last time I had BT so I don't know what my levels have been since. Sorry i know it doesn't help much.

Wow Hope that is a huge level. I wonder if it means multiple follicles?

Well FF changed my O date lol It did this last time too. It's put me at O day CD24 (which I thought was O day anyway) and made me 6DPO. So my temps look better now. Got a little longer to wait till testing so instead of starting the testing marathon on Friday it's now starting Monday.

[Keli]

Morning Ladies,

Just a quick one, I am pretty sure that a progesterone level over 72 means multiple follicles, so nice work Hope fingers crossed you can catch at least one.

GL in your 2WW Porsche, all is sounding very positive at this stage, I am praying like mad for you and have everything crossed, it would be so cool to fall pg the month you have been on nothing.

Bec, GL with your follicle scan, hope the suckers are looking massive and juicy, he he! Let us know how you go.

Xxoo

[Hope!]

Porssche & Keli: When I had my 12 day scan to see if there were any follicles good enough to have the pregnyl injection there were 4 great follicles and 2 on the bit smaller size. So yeah, I had multiple follicles at day 12, is that what you mean by the Progesterone level at 89.

Even though I have such a good level, I am still not confident that we we manages to catch one of those eggs. For some reason, I just don't feel that our timing was right this time.

I have a question, when you get O pain, are you actually O'ing than or is it a pain you get to indicate that you are about to or just have? I hope that made sense.

Linda: i'm with you, it is so nice to have people here in this group who are all in the same or similar circumstances and that we can all try to be a little helpful to one and other (even though what we have to endure is horrible). All the best with getting that BFP at the end of your TWW, and for you.

Porsche: for you during your 2WW. Like Keli said, it would be great to fall pg on the A-La-Natural cycle. It's 9DPO tomorrow for you, have you decided whether or not you are going to let those 14HPT's call you?

RhiChiChi: I was taking Chaste Tree, along with other things, from my naturopath and she said that was for progesterone.

Bec: GL with the injecting. How did you manage to inject yourself the wrong way? So sorry, but I did have a little giggle when I red that How's that bruise going? GL with your scan tomorrow.

Saffy: Hope you are feeling a lot better now. Just remember that you are not alone with these down moments, I think that everyone of us here go through this at some stage. Not that that is going to make you feel any better. I hope it was just a passing moment/day.

A big Hello to everyone else. I hope you all have a lovely day.

[Saffy]

hey girls,
I'm back on track now , saw my counsellor yesterday which was good timing and I feel 100% better then I did tues ( I think I spent half the day sobbing, poor DH when he got home from a long day at work)

Hope- thanks for your words, you are very kind. Also your level is very promising, FX big time for you ( Did someone in here's dr say to them a level over 65 could mean a pregnancy?? Maybe another thread? I'm sure I heard it somewhere) I hope it is true!

Porsche- just think of money you will save by not testing over the weekend!! ( not to mention the heartache of a BFN) hold out til you can get your BFP, which I'm sure you will get. Wow, I O so early compared to everyone else, also I don't have any HPT's in the house to resist temptation. But I know I don't feel pregnant anyway. Do you still have all the symptoms? (metallic taste, peeing a lot etc)??

Linda- good luck not long to wait now, hope its a BFP for you

RhiCHiCHi- I'm taking the royal jelly with no problems but I understand why a practitioner wouldn't want to recommend it to anyone. Good on you for going to the natropath, I too find it hard to take all that stuff, why can't any of it taste yummy???

Bec- shame about the injection/bruise, good luck with your scan, hope you get great results.

AFm- don't know what CD I am maybe mid to late 20's, so expect AF this weekend or just after

Have a great day everyone xx

Hi Linda

Hello porsche when you got your levels at 64 ,did you find out later you got pregant or no. I did finally talk to my doctor today she said everything looks good i have to wait too test. My stomach has not been feeling good since sunday .It hard to tell if its pregancy sythoms or the sotmach virus going around.The virus only last a few days but my stomach feels like acid built up .Is that a good sign.Feels like a emotional rolller coster.Everyone around me is getting preg or just having a baby.Crazy huh? thanks Linda

[Saffy]

Linda-do a home pregnancy test!
