LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin 2010 #1

[tammara]

Definately costly bec im almost $10,000 in already lol but very well worth it as everyone would imagine. I just plan on buying things when i see them on special (will start in a couple of months) I think i will be pretty spoilt by my family so that will help my youngest nephew on my side is 8 so been a while since a baby to buy for.


Welcome to the thread Aries, i am going to say ovulation is 36 hours after trigger - this is going by ivf, my donor had the triger at 7pm monday and egg retrieval was 7am wednesday (i think the days are right). As for pain im not sure that she felt anything except she was pretty bloated. Hope this helps.

Good luck ladies ps hope everyone got through the big storms, my back paddocks were flooded like rivers even with rappids it was mad!

Hi ladies

Quick question - does anyone know if it's safe to use Canetseen 3 day treatment in the 2WW? I've just developed thrush (I get it a few times each year), I'm 6DPO and I'm not sure if I should put up with the thrush (ouch!) or use the cream now (possibly before implantation - I'm hopeful!!!). There is so much confusing stuff on the internet and I don't really want to make an appointment with my FS about it. Any advice would be welcome!

Hi Mez Moz

Can you not just give them a call and ask? If I have any questions I give FS a call and the girls get back to me within the hour with the answer.

Can anyone point me in th "Due" threads section? I got lost along the way.

Looking for Belly Buddies Porsche? Not sure when you're due, but you should be able to find your group in there.
All the best~

Oh Yay! Thank you Marcellus.

Hi ladies,
Mez, I also have the thrush problem, and I've asked at the chemist and they said that the ORAL caniston is NO GOOD when you are pregnant, but the cream and the pessory (sp?) are okay as long as you don't use the applicator to insert them you know where. I would assume that TWW would be a similar story becasue you might be pregnant. HTH

Welcome Aries! I've had the pregnel shot and I found I had pain from that night for a few days. Hopefully you have noticed other signs? (EWCM maybe?) but my FS suggested just "go for it" every night for 3 days. If you don't mind me asking, is this your first does of clomid? 150mg seems a very high dose for a first round, that's all. I hope you find this thread to be a great support, I know we have.

GL to those other TWWers.

AFM: 11DPO...3 more days of waiting for me!

Hey all,

Just quickly popping in to say hello before I head off the personal training.

Welcome Aries! I hope your stay is short. Sorry, can't answer your question as I am only on Clomid by itself.

[Mez Moz]

Thanks for the advice Bec! Let's hope we hear a BFP from you in a few days time.

Welcome Aries!

GL to the 2WWers

[tammara]

Hi ladies,

just popping in to let you know of my latest blood results, the hcg levels have gone mental they are up to 4369!!!! so fingers crossed its a good sign and everythings going ok

Hi everyone

My name is Koby and my DP and I have been TTC since Dec 08 (had to re read that lol)

I saw a gyno last month and Im not Oing. So he prescribed me provera and clomid.

I am day 9 post Provera (i was on 1 BD for 10 days) Im getting fed up and impatient. Im sick of people becoming pg around me

I hope I can contribute something to this group and you lovely ladied can help me on my journey

[Mez Moz]

Hi Koby

Welcome to this thread! Let's hope you stay is a short one. I've been TTC since July 08, so know how you feel when everyone else seems to be falling preggers and month after month you have no BFP. This is a great thread for venting and also for keeping your hopes up. Where are you up to in your cycle? Are you in the 2WW yet? There are a few of us going through the 2WW torture at the moment. I'm 6DPO and have another 7 days to go. Argh! Hope you're not having too many side effects from the Prov and Clomid - I know clomid can certainly make me go a bit mental!

[Ahurani]

Thankyou for the welcome

Im waiting for AF then I have to take the clomid on days 5-9. The only side effects I got from the Provera were tender nipples and I was a bit crabby lol

GL is your TWW! Cant wait to see your flashy BFP

[Aries]

Hi ladies, thank you for the warm welcomes!

becnxavi - nope not my first round.... my 8th! Hence the high dose lol. I did fall pg on clomid at the start of 2009 but lost my little boy at 21 weeks due to a placental infection so I know I can do it... just need a little help. Thanks for the info, still having pains but definately think I o'ed yesterday as I had a really sharp, caught my breath type pain in the arvo. I hope so anyway.... DH is starting to look at me weirdly when I suggest dtd again
GL for the next three days - stay strong!!! Fingers crossed for you

Ahurani - GL with the clomid, just a tip I've found that reduces the side effects is I take it at night. Seems to work for me anyway!

tammara - thats great news, I hope everything is ok for you.

Hi to everyone else, thanks again

[RhiChiChi]

Hi all,

Welcome Koby! You will certainly find alot of support and information in this thread. I hope you get your BFP soon!

I have been ttc # 2 since Oct 09, so not as long as you (nor the others lovely ladies) but I certain hear & understand your frustration.

We aren't saving for a baby - I have alot of stuff from DD # 1 that I will use & have kept ALL her clothes. So, if we have a girl - no probs. If we have a boy, well I have some neutral stuff for newborn but will have to buy clothes. All our nursery stuff is neutral b/c we didn't find out what we were having. I know I definately spent all of the baby bonus ($3k at the time) on nursery furniture/pram etc... I have read somewhere that the approx. cost of raising a child is $4k per year, so $10k would be about right when you add it all up

AFM - Off to the Dr's today. Have shocking lower abdo cramping / pain since Monday after DTD and it is getting worse. I usually wouldn't bother to go, but something tells me I should. Am on CD 19, so don't think it is O or baby related (too late for O, too early for baby)?

[tammara]

Good luck Rhi, hope you get lucky and it is a baby letting you know its in there

[becnxavi]

HI girls
welcome Koby! Hang in there, provera can be a pain, but once AF arrives at least you can count your cycle! I always hated not knowing when AF would turn up (or if). Clomid has fixed that.

Aries: So sorry to hear about your angel baby. This is also my 8th round of clomid (this time round. DS is 3 1/2 and was conceived after 6 rounds of clomid), and I've lost two angel babies in that time. I wish you every bit of luck that this will be your time. There's is only so many times you can smile and say congratulations when another person announces they are UTD! My sister conceived the first month we were trying (July 08) accidentally and they are now planning another in the next few months, and I still haven't had my BFP! life can be so unfair, hey?

AFM: 2 days to go and I crumbled and bought a HPT, which came out negative. I kind of knew it would, but the waiting is driving me nuts! So i fully expect AF to arrive on Friday as planned. Oh well, maybe next month...

GL to everyone else!
Bec

Morning Ladies,

Wow I just pop out for a few days and so much is going on.

Tamarra, so excited that your levels are still rising. I am more than happy for you to stay on this sight, you are not the usual UTD and ready to gloat lady. You are a Very LTTTC, just like the rest of us, so I would love to continue to hear all your progress.

Bec, Sorry to hear you think AF is going to arrive you sound like you're in pretty good spirits about it though. Fingers crossed for next month then.

Rhi, how did you go at the doctors? I hope all is ok and that this is not another complication for you, GL, let us know how you went.

Aries, Welcome the this wonderful forum that has saved my sanity. Wow your 8th round of clomid? That's massive. So sorry to hear you lost your little bub last year, that must have been awful, I am very glad that we have never had to go through that. We have been TTC since Feb 07' so just over 3 years now, it can be a really long road cant it? GL, I hope you get your BFP very soon.

Koby, Welcome to you also. GL I hope that AF comes very soon for you. One of the other ladies said to take Clomid at night (best advise ever). It reduces so many of the side effects. Hope you get your little bundle of joy very soon.

Mez, not long for you now, I have everything crossed for you. I have a really good feeling about this month for you, don’t know why I just do. How's the symptom watching going, ha ha!

Porsche, Hope all is going well for you, how did your follow up appointment go?

Jess85, are you still out there love? Haven't heard from you in ages, hope everything is ok?

AFM: Well I WAS very excited about this month as I had a really good feeling, but not sure what to think anymore. Firstly I have no idea how long my cycles are at the moment could be anywhere from 28-35 days so I either have 1 more day to wait or up to 8. As I’m sure you can imagine this is very frustrating. Also…I had a small bleed on Friday night last week, it was full deep red in colour but was only 2 small amounts. I have never had this before and therefore don’t know what to think of it. Not sure if it’s a good or a bad sign but I’m thinking it’s a bad one. Has anyone experienced this before? Implantation isn’t a deep red colour is it? Also I have gone up to 100mg of Clomid this month to help try to conceive before IVF could this have anything to do with it?

One more thing, DH and I went to see FS on Friday and will be starting IVF at the beginning of May unless of course we are UTD prior, fingers crossed.

So sorry about the long post, I just had a lot I wanted to say.

GL to all the 2WW’ers, and I hope everyone gets there BFP soon than expected.

Hi Keli

I can't help with your questions as I was on 50mg Clomid and I've never had implantaion spotting. FX that it's a good sign for you and you can forget the IVF. But great that you have a plan to move on to if you so need it.

I haven't had my follow up appointment yet that is for this comming Monday. So nothing to report lol.

RhiChiChi hope all went well yesterday at the doctors.
