LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin 2010 #1

**Clamgee** · March 18th, 2010, 06:27 AM

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.

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!

Hi Ladies

How is every one travelling? Welcome to the new ladies hope your stay is short and sweet.

Mez - I'm nauseous all day yuck. Started on Monday. Which being 6 weeks now is about right for my MS to kick in. I haven't thrown up as yet but I feel gross.

Hi Keli
I was prescribed Dianette as a contraceptive but also for facial hair.It has the highest amount of oestrogen. I think they might have tested years ago for PCOS but only through ultrasounds and hormone tests. When they first started investigating the irregular periods I was early 20s and not in a relationship where I wanted kids. The fertility doc said to 'go away and come back when I wanted to get preganant - as I would need help!!!' If only I knew then what the implications would be. Now i'm back at him and hurtling towards 35. Does anyone feel really emotional on Clomid? - I was a miserable toad last night and ended up in tears. This hasn't happened before - it might just be a build up of emotions but i felt really stupid!!
Anyway, only 1 more tablet and the countdown begins again...........

Definately very emotional on Clomid - overly teary, sensitive etc....

**Mez Moz** · March 19th, 2010, 07:46 PM

I went a bit mental on clomid too...also had insomnia, felt constantly agitated and had hot flushes.... at least I kinda know what menopause will be like now!
