LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin 2010 #1

[Porsche]

[QUOTE=Mez Moz;2222963]Hi ladies

I did another test even before I'd woken up properly this morning and it's not a dream, I'm still UTD and the line was darker than the previous two days! Porsche - I think I'll stop at this one, although I am tempted to do a few more lol. I tried to figure out my due date and I think it's Thurs 25 November as we conceived on Thurs 4 March. I think you count 38 weeks from conception date...does anyone know if this is right? I know they usually say 40 weeks, but I think that's counting from the first day of your last period. I O'd on day 19 so it's a bit more than 2 weeks. Anyway, I guess the FS will tell me. I'm going to see him in 6 weeks and he'll do a scan then so I'm everything is OK. I've booked into to see an Ob 2 days later (I've had him picked for the whole time we've been TTC so it's nice to make a legit appointment!).

DH is still shocked. As you know when you've been trying for so long you kinda expect disappointment each month, so now it's hard to get our heads around that this is happening.

Don't know how I'm going to keep this a secret for the next 12 weeks. I told my yoga teacher and she surprised me by saying she thought I was UTD on Sunday morning in class because I was a bit 'out of it' - I didn't even know at this stage!

[QUOTE]

LOL that is great news. I think I got addicted to seeing the 2 lines come up.

Yes your most likely right about the dates. They say 40 weeks from LMP. FF told me from my O date but that was the same as from LMP.

Hi everyone, just letting you know my hcg results were in the 12,000's so im happy at this and my progesterone has gone from 24 to 31 so that is also good

glad your still UTD mez

Keli, we seem to be quite in sync. I start Clomid Thursday too, although my cycle is usually about 35 days becasue I 'o' late (about day 21ish). That extra week is very annoying but no amount of acupuncture, clomid, chinese herbs etc seems to make me ovulate like a normal person! Oh well, glad to have you as a TTC buddy.
Rhi- how are you? AF turned up yet?

Thanks for your support everyone, sorry about the whingy post last one, I was feel a bit down. You guys are a great support.

Hope you preggy ladies are doing well!

Talk soon,
Bec

Hi everyone
I hope it's ok to post on this website - as I live in Scotland. I'm sure someone will tell me if I shouldn't!
Anyway, I have spent the last few days looking at previous threads and feel like I know some of you already. My story is very similar to so many - and it actually makes it a little easier.
I have just started the 3rd Clomid. The 1st resulted in pregnancy but then I miscarried at 6 wks. I suppose it was a positive that something was working.
It's good to see so many pregnancies on this site recently - gives the rest of us hope.
Looking forward to hearing about more.
Best wishes to all x

Hey Ladies,

Welcome Clamgee, I'm sure its ok for you to post on here, I don't think it matters where you live, well it shouldn't anyway. Yes I know what you mean about feeling like you know everyone already, I was the same before my first post. This is such a wonderful site with a great support network for us all. I'm so sorry to hear that you had a miscarrage that must have been aweful, but I guess you are right too in saying that at least you know you can get UTD. Enjoy the site and hopefully you have a short stay here and get UTD very shortly. Can I ask, how long have you been TTC? What is wrong? Sounds like a rude question I know but I think you'll know what I mean.

Rhi, yeah it sure has been a really long road so far. Well DH and I have been looking into IVF so we may be starting that soon, but we will continue on Clomid for a few more months yet as this is only my third cycle since the lap so fingers crossed we get lucky soon

Hey Mez, so glad to hear it is all going well. How exciting that you will get to benefit from your yoga classes now also, that must be wonderful I cant believe you have to wait 6 weeks to see FS, isn’t the anticipation going to kill you? Maybe you just have more patience than I do. GL anyway. Keep keeping us posted. Love it!

Great results Tammara, fantastic to hear. And thanks for the chuckle on the cheese

Bec that is hilarious, my cycle on clomid has seemed to be 35 days also, it has only started changing since I had my lap. I do O a little bit earlier than you though I think. Yey we are so in sync buddies now. Hopefully we can both get UTD this month and then be preggy buddies too, woo hoo how nice would that be?

AFM just waiting to start Clomid tomorrow, feeling quite down at the moment. All will be ok though.

GL to everyone else out there

Welcome Clamgee - sorry about your loss. I hope you find this site & particularly this thread supportive and informative.

Tammara - Awesome news about your HCG levels! Woo Hoo!

Mez - Great news again hun!

Keli - Best of luck for this cycle. I hope this is the last one you have to do & get your BFP. x

Bec - Not sure why the Clomid is not helping with O. Have you spoken to your Dr about this? Still waiting for AF. My lower back in hurting & that is a sign she is not far away :S

[michal]

hi all!

i just wanted to introduce myself. i am 23, DH is 24 and we have been TTC for 1 year +. Last year, I was diagnosed with PCOS and just finished my first round of clomid which unfortunately resulted in a BFN. DH's sperm analysis results came back worrying, so we sent them in for a 2nd time - hoping for good news!

Just wondering, has anyone had these symptoms before? I never get headaches - but yesterday I had a shocking migraine and AF came last night. Do you think this can be a result of clomid, even 3 weeks after I had it?

Thanks!

[becnxavi]

Hi guys!
Welcome Michal and Clamgee!
Michal- I had awful migrains my first cycle of clomid, so much so that I could get out of bed for 5 days. They did disappear after I finished the 5 tablets, and the next 7 rounds I've had no symptoms at all. Not sure about the AF thing though. Was it due? I've heard some people get migraines when they get AF; maybe it wan't related?

Clamgee- sorry to hear of your loss. I also miscarried my first round of clomid, and I agree it was bitter sweet. Awful to go through when you've been trying, but al l;east something is happening. Don't give up hope!

Keli- bizarre! I would certainly love to get UTD this month, and if we both were that would be cool! Sorry about the cheese herbs!

Rhi- sorry Af is on her way, but sometimes its nice to get moving with the next cycle.

Mez- Hope all is still weel. I'll bet it hasn't even sunk in yet?!

AFM: FS doesn't seem too concerned about the date of o, just wehether I am o ing or not. Frankly I think he just scheduled the scans becasue that's what he always does. He didn't ask me a thing about my cycle or how I've been keeping track so, who knows? I think I'm just gonna suck it and see.
Porsche & Tammara- 6 weeks and counting for you guys yeah? Hope all is still well.

Hi anyone who's just perusing, or we haven't heard from for a while. Hope your TTC journey is going well.

Talk soon,
Bec

[Clamgee]

Hi all.
Thanks for all the welcome messages. Keli, I have been TTC for almost 2 years. I have always had very irregular periods - often up tp 11mths! Went on Dianette for a few years, then came off almost 2 years ago. Periods became more regular - 6/7 weeks apart. Docs have done hormone tests over the yrs and all came back normalish. PCOS has been mentioned several times - was put on Metformin for a while 2. trial and error. The only positive news at the moment is my last cycle was 29 days !!!! and my 21 day progest result was 46! I'll need to learn how to use all the abbreviations for this site!

Hi ladies

Welcome to the newbies! This thread is such wonderful support, so please do continue to post. It really helps to share your feelings with other women who know exactly what you are going through. And I love the fact we have a Scottish lass joining us!

Bec - my cycles were around 32 days and we still managed to get UTD. I usually O'd on day 19 or 20 on clomid so don't worry too much about the date you O. Like your FS said, the most important thing is that you do O.

Keli - hope that this round of clomid does it for you. I reckon it was the lap that did it for me, so if this is only your 3rd cycle post lap then you have a good chance.

Rhi - just think, even though AF is nearly here, that means you have another shot in 2 - 3 weeks. This could be it! Try to stay positive.

Tammara and Porsche - have you got many PG signs?

AFM, I've been having very light cramps for the past few days, but not sure if that's just wind lol. I don't have any pg signs, except that I'm weeing more often and slightly more hungry. No sore BBs or nausea. I kind wish I did though to make it seem more real. Oh and remember I posted just after I O'd that I had thrush...well I think I have it again. I guess that's a pg sign given my hormones are probably going crazy. I've just been using tea tree oil, but am going to see a naturopath tonight so will ask her if she has any suggestions.

[Keli]

Morning Ladies,

Well well I'm becoming a daily user on this site and I love it, he he! Hope no-one minds, I have my 2 cents worth on everything

Hi Michael, welcome to this wonderful site that is the best support network you will ever find. Fast and friendly responses from women who truly know what you are going through. Hope you like it as much as we all do. GL for DH's sperm results, I hope they come back GREAT Sorry but I have not had headaches with Clomid, many other symptoms but not head aches. I do however find that my moody symptoms seem to come about 3 weeks after Clomid so I'm thinking the two could be related for you also. I am 25 and DH is 34 and we have been trying for just over 3 years now so I totally understand where you are coming from. GL with the journey and hopefully your stay here is very short and sweet.

Hey Bec, I never new you had a miscarriage, I'm so sorry to hear that love. Yeah I suppose it doesn't really matter when you O so long as you do and you can track when you do. GL with this round starting Clomid tonight, woo hoo!

Hi Clamgee, Can I ask what Dianette is? I've never heard of it before. Have they not tested for PCO? I find that quite bizarre as that was the first thing my GP tested for when I had only had 2 AF's (Aunt Flow) in 12 months. Yes I really struggled to begin with translating all the abbreviations, here is a link Common Forum Jargon, Abbreviations & Acronyms - Pregnancy, Birth & Baby Forums ~ BellyBelly (hope it works) to see all the abbreviations and that really helped me.

Hey Mez, Glad to hear all is still well, yes I can appreciate what you mean about wanting some PG signs, I guess at this stage nothing really feels like it has changed, but it has you are UTD, he he!

AFM: Starting Clomid tonight, woo hoo!

[Keli]
