LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin 2010 #1

[Saffy]

Wow this seems like the place to be, lots of good news around at the moment, hope everyone else is going to follow!

Thanks for your advice everyone, I think I will "do my own thing", i used to work for an Obs/Gynae and he didn't give a rats so to speak when people took clomid in the first week, so I'm confident to try something new without official approval. Can't be bothered talking to my FS as he is only in my town once a fortnight and its too hard to get in contact with him.

Bec- great news about two lines keep it up xx
Julia-sorry AF arrived, she's a pain literally, good luck w lap xx
Tammara-sounds like you have a strong baby there, glad you saw a heartbeat xx
Porsche-glad work went ok, it is better if everyone doesn't know your whole life story, you can escape from the pain for a while as well xx
Keli- good luck for your scan, hope the morning sickness is bearable, as muchas we all want it, I imagine it is still horrible xx
RhiChiChi- lots of people swear by Vitex, hope it does the trick xx
Linda-hi hope your cycle becomes less confusing, it is hard to get your head around it when things keep changing, our bodies like to keep us guessing , well mine sure does anyway! xx

Sorry to hear about AF Rhi but hope your lap and dye goes well and gives you some answers

Still on cloud nine, again thanks for your well wishes

Fingers crossed for everyone in here.

Living in Scotland sucks cos I miss all the excitement as it happens! I get to read the emails when you guys are all tucked up in bed and there's noone around to play with!

Porsche - I know what u mean about being so over the bleeding. Mine lasted for almost 2 weeks and it was a constant reminder! Pig! Hope your first day back went ok.

Tammara - you must be so excited. Fingers crosses all your stress is over x

Bec - You must be so excited inside. Hoping your queasiness is real - strange thing to wish on someone - but u know what I mean.

Keli - hope you are doing well x

Saffy - you sound brave!

AFM Back to work today. Boo! AF has arrived but so slowly so don't know if it's still day 1 or day 2. It's all so confusing sometimes.
Is it normal for me to have such low progesterone levels one month (5) and fairly high (42) the month before?
Think I'm having a bit of a down day. And I felt like a rotten human being today - my stage partner (and really good friend) is 16 weeks pregnant and she seems to have blossomed over the last 2 week holiday. And one of the other teachers came in with his laptop to show us his beautiful 2 week old baby girl. I am truly delighted for both, but I did feel a tinge of jealousy. That's not right.
Anyway, putting it down to just about to jump on the clomid rollercoaster!
Sorry for moaning!

Hey all,

Sorry I didn't have a chance to come back on yesterday.

Tammara - So happy for you hun! I'm sure you & DH were a wreck prior to going in for your scan. Sending you tons of sticky vibes and growing dust for bubs.

Porsche - I didn't take Vitex long enough to notice any change, but I have been told not to take it whilst taking Clomid, so there must be a similarity in the two or something like that? Dunno! Maybe I should do the 'right thing' and take it...hmmm undecided now! lol

Claudette - Sorry to hear you are still bleeding, I hope it settles down soon for you.
I feel like that sometimes too, even when I wasn't on Clomid, it's just worse now on Clomid :S

Keli - Yay for m/s - well not really but YKWIM?!

Linda - Best of luck for this cycle. I've only ever shown to O on the lowest dose of Clomid, so not sure why the difference between the cycles? I was told to BD every second day from CD 10 to CD 21. It didn't work but I think there is something else going on 'down there' for me. Please stay positive!

Bec - Best of luck hun. Sounds like AF won't be showing up for at least 9 months - woo hoo!

Thank you for the advice. i was on clomid a long time ago but i have a different doctor now .He does things different.I used to take the clomid days 5-9 but now the doctor said to take it on days 3-7.Does it really matter what days you take the clomid on.I seem to have gotten pregant on the days i took the clomid 5-9 and my old doctor told us once we got a + on the ovulation kit to have intercourse for 3 days in a row.So thats why i was confused using the clomid this time on days 3-9? And they way the doctor said to have intercourse every other day after the + ovulation kit.Thought it was werid but we tryed it and it didnt work this month. crossing my fingers and hopeing for alot of baby dust and prayers !thanks

Hi Girls,
Oh Porsche, I just want to give you a hug! I think you have every right to feel a bit pee'd off with the world, and you need to work through it in your own time. I'm sure that everyone here has felt a bit the same as you at some stage, I'm sometimes horrible to DH for months on end, becasue I just feel so dissapointed that I can't get UTD and that I have no control over it. Have you thought about getting in contact with your old BF? I know what you mean about having no one to talk to: my BF is not even contemplating having kids, she hates kids, so I can't even mention things to her without a very clinical unhelpful response. My sis is great though, even though she doesn't really understand, she listens and nods at the appropriate times!

Just a quick update on me: I think things are going well. My boobs are sore, like achy and I am definately nauseous(sp?) at times. I have funny little twinges in my tummy, like the pain when you stretch too far. I'm just terrified everytime I go to the loo; I close my eyes and peek to see if AF has arrived! I guess I can officially say I am 4 weeks UTD, but will I get to 5? I'm heading to GP on Thursday for BT to see how the levels are.

Sorry for the rambly post!
Bec

I think it is perfectly normal to have all the emotions your feeling least of all the jelousy.

I think im going blind, i know i read a post (maybe from saffy) about going onto IVF. Just to let you know that there is a step before IVF, its called IUI - basicly the same as ivf but instead of taking your eggs out and fertalising them they just insert hubbys sperm directly into you. But if you have any questions about IVF im no expert but would be happy to try and answe any questions you have. My advise would be to make an appointment asap even just to have a chat. I went through Dr Mac Talbot and found him wonderful and his nurse is awesome too.

Time to get my self to bed now. Night

** sneaking in from another TTC thread **

girls!

I thought I would stick my head in to ask some advice... I'm on my 2nd cycle of 50mg Clomid (first time I took it from CD5-9, this cycle from CD2-6).

First time round I didn't really experience any symptoms - only some hot flushes every now and then - I ovulated on CD17 which is the earliest I've ever ovulated in a cycle in 12 months.

As of today (I'm CD4 and taken 2 tablets) I'm feeling dizzy, nauseous, shaky... has anyone else had these type of symptoms? Please tell me this is normal............

Thanks girls!!!

i have decided if we dont catch an egg on this cycle i wont be going again.. i have been on 100mg of clomid and it has turned me in to a raging biatch! im not willing to put my marriage on the line... so we will just go back to hoping and praying that we can pick O if and when i do..

Elocin no i havent had those symptoms but i have had LOTS of hot flushes...

Hey hun, yeah my symptoms have gotten worse the longer I have been on Clomid. Today for example is CD 3 & I should be taking it today but have decided to forgo this cycle. Anyway I am sitting here with severe hot flushes and have been suffering from insomnia AGAIN! Am over it!
