LT TTC & taking Clomid/Metformin 2010 #1

[RhiChiChi]

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

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...

[Keli]

Hi ladies,

Just a quick pop in to give Porsche a MASSIVE hug, oh love, please do not feel along we have all had these times we have gone through. Remember we are your support network and are always here to listen, so vent away.

Hope today has brought you something good.
Take care, chat soon.

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!

[Ahurani]

I havent got that many symptoms. A few hot flushes and possibly a headache. I think I have been lucky :/

Hi girls,
Elocin- I have had all the symptoms you have mentioned plus more! I don't always get them though. Ironically, the two worst months I've had those symptoms I've gotten pregnant!

Oorki G- I know what you mean about the moods. I am usually the ***** monster from hell during and after clomid until I o! DH is really good, and I try to apologise if he really cops it.

Porsche- Hope you're feeling a bit better today.

Everyone else, I hope you're travelling ok.

AFM- I've decided to go and get a blood test tomorrow and see how that goes. Maybe if I see HCG numbers looking good I'll feel like this is actually happening. I've gone and let myself be excited now! I'll let you know how I go.

Bye for now,
Bec
