LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin #2

[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.

Hi Ladies

Linda No your progesterone level will not tell you if you are pregnant. Unfortunatly you will have to wait for AF or test from 14DPO to be accurate.

Saffy - I'm so glad you are feeling much better. we all have up and downs and it sucks. Can't we be up all the time?? I still have the cramps and backache. Not off to the loo so much today. I'm having doubts no lol. I'm not testing untill Monday when i'll be 10DPO. I feel funny testing when DH is home. He always wants me to wait. But I can't I'm not a POAS aholic but I can't wait . And partly because if I don't get a BFN then I won't be dissapointing him.

I know what you mean Porsche. My DH gets weird about POAS, although I am a POAS-aholic! All those years of not knowing when I would ovulate, and I had to do it once a week I guess. Everytime he comes home and there's one on the bathroom counter he's like "Do you know how much they cost?!" My general answer is "No more than the beer you drink in a month so get over it!" AHHH!

Porsche, Hope & Linda things are looking positive for you this month! FX for you all

Saffy- Don't lose hope, you never know. Lots of people have BFP's with no symptoms whatsoever. FX AF doesn't turn up!

Rhi- how are those concoctions going? When I was naturopathing I also had most of the same ingredience as you. I think it's ironic that the main one is Chaste Tree, given the name it seems like it's trying it's darndest NOT to get us pregnant!

AFM- Finally heard back from FS who said I'm sorry but you are not pregnant, to which I had to explain yes I know that I miscarried remember? We were just checking levels were back to 0. Time for a new one I think! ANyway he said to see the u/s nurse 6 days after beginning Gonal which is tomorrow and now I can't get in cause he only just rang! Oh well I'll try in the morning maybe I'll get lucky and someone will cancel.
As for the bruise, it now resembles a blood blister about 3cm round. Definately stuffed something up! Ah, the trials....

Hi Ladies

Bec - Did your FS even read your file? Nothing like ringing you at the last minute and expecting you just to get an appointment. Good luck. That bruise sounds very nasty. Lucky it's covered otherwise you could get some awkward questions.

Tammara - Nice to hear from you. Everything still traveling ok?

AFM 7DPO today according to FF. It changed my crosshairs lol. Not much happening really. I'm having cramps and backache but my temps aren't giving any indication of anything really. Testing starts Monday so if it's a negative then I won't be testing until Friday.

Hey Porsche

I think everything is going to be fine but i had another stinking bleed wednesday night so im just hoping its another hemorage. I have ultrasound this morning so i will know within the hour i guess.

Still got my fingers crossed for you and everyone to get BFP's this month

Oh Tammara I have my FX for you. I'm sure it will all be ok. Good Luck!

[tammara]

As i thought yet ANOTHER hemorage - i think this will go on throughout the pregnancy.

Afternoon Ladies,

Yey Hope that is wonderful news, yes that’s what I meant about your Progesterone being high, that you would probably have more than one good follicle. Congrates hun that is awesome. As for the O’ing pain, I have often wondered the same thing myself. I decided that once I felt O pain to DTD that day and everyday until my temp when up, this is what I did on the month we conceived anyway. We had been trying to DTD every second day for over 10 months and this was the first month we tried something different. GL Hope, I have everything crossed for you.

Bec, GL getting in for your scan today hun, let us know how you go. I have everything crossed for you. Lol, love the response to DH about the cost of POAS test, my DH is exactly the same, always winging about the price. As for your DR, what a twat seriously, did he even read your file? What a moron.

Saffy, glad to hear things are back on track for you now hun, it can be so utterly exhausting at time I know. Hugs!

Porsche, how’s the pg symptoms going hun? I hope they are ramping up for you.

Linda, Gl with the testing, when will you start?

Tammara, you poor thing you have had scares so many time, not fair hey? Glad to hear all is well with bub though.

AFM: Off to have my next scan this afternoon, yippee! Will let you all know if there’s one or two.

GL to everyone else, I have everything crossed for you, we definitely need some more BFP in here soon, praying for you all.

Xxoo

Hi girls,
just a quick post today, I'm off to opening night of my play!

Tammara- you poor thing, but at least bubs is hanging in there. Hopefully it subsides a bit now.

Porsche- FF is still mucking around with those crosshairs! GL for Monday!

Keli- is it 1 or 2?! I can't wait to hear!

AFM- scan today showed no dominant follies so still jabbing untill next Wednesday. Hopefully all is good for the trigger then. Looks like I'm still going to o late! If still nothing on Wednesday, I have to up the dose, which could casue hyperstim. ovarian syndrome, so I'd rather not, but whatever works!

I'll check back in later to see how you go Keli...
Bye!
Bec

Hey girls hope your all going well in your TWW.

Cant wait to find out if your having twins keli

Good luck with the play bec

Hi Ladies,

Ok so I have to confess, I am getting slightly frustrated now.

Last Friday I went and had another scan, 1 nice folly forming. So the FS said that we will ovulate this week. I have been testing everyday this week and still nothing. I know most of you are on clomid which is slightly different to the Femara that I am on, but has anyone had a Folly and still not ovulated???

DH and I have been DTD every 2nd day anyway just in case.

When we left the FS last week, he said I will see you next month, either because your AF hasn't come and you are preggas or because you have started another round of Femara and need a scan.

What do you all think? I am relatively new to all this stuff and don't want to be a pest to the FS. He is very good, has a great rep in my area but I guess I feel a little lost this week.

Any advice would be great. Thanks everyone

Hey all,

So we had our scan this afternoon! One little bubba growing perfectly, so no twins! Hb is now 174bpm and bub is 18.6mm long! It now looks like a little person it's just amazing!

I can't wait for you all to get your long awaiting and deserved bfp's! Fingers crossed for all this month!

Thanks for being excited for me ladies Xxoo

[becnxavi]

Keli- glad it's a healthy bub, twins or no!
Nelly- with my scans if I was taking too long to ovulate I was given the trigger shot to make me ovulate. My FS was of the opinion waste not, want not! Can you ring your FS? Maybe you can ask over the phone why you haven't ovulated?
Tammara- play went quite well thanks! I even remember most of my lines...
Night night girls,
Bec

[nellym]

Thanks for that Bec,

I am now on day 22 of what the FS thought would be a 35 day cycle. So assuming it normally takes 2 weeks for AF to come after ovulation I should have ovulated by yesterday. Yesterday was exactly a week from when the FS said I would ovulate in the following week. Does all that make sense? Even I got a little confused with what I was saying. Anyway how long would you wait to call the dr? I mean I can't call him now until Monday anyway. Or would you leave it a bit longer?

[RhiChiChi]

Hi everyone, sorry I have been MIA. I either have gastro or am having horrible side effects from the concotions the Naturopath has given me. I am still not well but am sick of lying around doing nothing! And tyo top it off AF showed today, 1 day early! I knew she would show this month but thought late cos I stopped Clomid. Gosh my body is confusing sometimes, but anyway at least she will leave mid week, in time for my DH b'day & our night in the City!

Bec - Yeah, the taste of the herbs is awful & one time I didn't mix some of the powdered stuff in properly & it came back up (sorry if TMI)..... I just chug some juice afterwards and that helps get rid of the taste. Your FS sounds like you are just another number.. which was the same for my gf but luckily she fell pg on one cycle of IVF. I think a change sounds good. That bruise sure sounds nasty, I hope it settles down soon. GL for your scan on Wednesday. Can you jab yourself elsewhere so it can heal?
What was your play about?

Porsche - How are you going? Caved & tested yet? lol

Tammara - It is truly awful what you are going through atm. I hope the bleeding subsides and stops. I know my cousin had bleeding on & off until about 16 weeks and she has a healthy little girl.

Keli - Great news about your scan!

Nelly - sorry n advice for you, just big hugs. I would call on Monday to see if you O.

Hi to all the lurkers!

[Porsche]

Hi Ladies

Tammara - Yay on the scan results. I knew they would be fine. It's still scarey when that happens.

Rhichichi - Lol yes I did cave and I tested this morning being 9DPO. It was a BFN. Which is what I expected really. Dissapointing but I didn't have my hopes up. I think I've convinced DH to do IUI when AF comes instead of the stupid clomid. I'll ring Dr De Ambrosis's rooms on Monday and ask about the meds and when I have to start them? I have ths scripts I just can't read his writting. And I forget when he said to start them.

Bec- Yay on remembering your lines. I think that's pretty important lol. I wouldn't have the courage to get up in front of people like that.

[becnxavi]

Hi girls! Hope everyone had a lovely relaxing weekend.

nelly- ring your FS tomorrow I reckon. My cycles are about 35 days too, usually, and I often don't ovulate untill day 21-23, so maybe you'll ovulate by yourself in a day or two. Do you get symptoms?

Porsche- Do you have to change meds for IUI? I don't know much about that one sorry. Hope your convince DH! BTW- I forgot some lines last night in our second show! But it still went well. I actually enjoy being on stage as a different character, takes my mind off all the TTC stuff.

Rhi- I will be changing FS if I don't fall pg this month. I am a bit sick of the philosophy of "here's your script, see you later"! Bruise is clearing up and I haven't managed to do it again since, thank goodness! I hope you are feeling better and the herbs are staying down. I used to chase it down with some cough medicine to take the taste away...probably not the best thing to do but I would have thrown up otherwise!

AFM- well a nice surprise today: I ovulated! Sorry for TMI but EWCM gave it away (sorry!). So much for follie scans, although she couldn't find my left ovary, so maybe it was hiding on purpose so I could have a nice surprise. Now I'm worried because I assumed nothing would happen untill after my scan on Wednesday so now we're behind on our DTDing! Might have missed our chance...lol The good news is I won't have to take the gonal injections anymore, but now onto the Clexane injections, yah!

Anyway, hi to everyone, especially those who might be watching and not posting (love to hear from you)
Bec

[Porsche]

Hi Ladies

Well it's definately a BFN. Did another HPT this morning and there is no second line there. Oh well not to worry. Just waiting for AF not so we can start IUI.


Bec - Yes I have to change meds. I have to take 2 different ones but I can't remember what they are. I think letrozol is one and I think the other is metformin but I can't be sure. I'll give QFG a call today because I forget when I have to start to take them and Dr Waz has shocking hand writing. We'll have to go in to QFG on Thursday to fill the script and DH has to give them a semen sample. He was supposed to do it back in Feb but we got pregnant so he didn't need to lol. How things change. Normally i would get the script filled closer to home but because his hand writing is sooo bad it was recomended by the staff at QFG to have it filled at the pharmacy there as they have experience reading the scripts.

Yay for O! Get BDing! Gosh if we didn't know our bodies so well we could just miss O time. Good luck.

Keli, MezMoz & Tammara Hope all is well. Any updates?

[Porsche]

I just rang QFG and my Dr is overseas until 7th of June. Bugga. Looks like I will have to do that last course of clomid.
