LT TTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin #6

[Williever]

I haven't been weighing myself. I can tell from my belly and triple chin. I also have patches of cellulite around my thighs............not good, but I did say I would put up with it.

[nothing2lose]

Unfortunately I have weighed myself...I have put on about 3kg in the six months since I started clomid. My fs says this is normal and apparently fluid retention is common too.

as if being infertile isnt bad enough - we have to be fat too! lol

chubbily yours,

n2l

[Williever]

I'd say I've put on more then that. So well done for keeping it down xxx

Stupid cellulite!

M2One - how did you go? FX AF didn't arrive but a pair of pink lines did .

[Mum2SweetCs]

i tested again with FR this morning, still nothing and still no AF!

[Maruschke]

i tested again with FR this morning, still nothing and still no AF!

Oh no! How frustrating.

The only thought I have is that perhaps your O date is later.

[Mum2SweetCs]

yeh maybe. Looking at FF, it says 93.1% of HPT should be accurate lol so i must be in the 6.9% IF i am pregnant!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know what I can buy for my DH to improve sperm quality. He has had a semen analysis and it's all good, but as we are having no luck yet i would like to try more things, maybe Zinc? I know menevit is great, but i just can't afford (or justify) spending that kind of money for one months worth!
Also I am thinking EPO for me as I'm a bit limited in the CM department!

Any info would be great

Hay guys, stalking again.
Tasha- i spoke to a Naturopath and a pharmacist about what my DP could take and they both just said to take Centrum or a normal multi-vitamin. DP started taking them when i was mid-cycle in cycle no 2 and cycle 3 i fel pg....dunno if that helped or not, but it didn't hurt either!
GL and i hope there is more BFP's on the way!

[Williever]

Well....finally I had a temp increase today (.2 degress C). Relieved. So relieved. CD 18 so who knows when AF is actually due?! This will be a very interesting tww for sure!

[1 more please]

mum2onesweetbun - Good Luck hoping to hear a BFP from you it sounds promising so far.

Tasha - I have heard menevit as well. But your right expensive i was lucky my GP gave me a few bottles she had but finished them and just fed him oysters lol. EPO is good i have used it had heaps more CM.

Williever - Your temp increase sounds good. Hopefully this is your month FX'D

AFM - nothing happening FS did not ring about blood test so i still dont know if it was AF or not so still have not started clomid. So i'm waiting waiting and getting fustrated.

[Maruschke]

Willi - your chart looks great and you should get your crosshairs tomorrow! FX for a BFP!

I am so bored... this part of the cycle drags on and on and on..

[Williever]

Maruschke - I know! I even called DH over to have a look. I normally O so waiting and getting anxious over it was really wierd. I really felt like yet another hurdle had been put in the way.........so relieved. A nice jump today woohoo!
This is our last month of really trying. Maybe that pressure will get my body into gear??? Plus all the supplements I've been taking! You never know!

[Mum2SweetCs]

hey girls AF came today. I think FF got it wrong and I think you were right Maruschke! I Od late this month.

Well i think this will be the last month of trying clomid for me so it better be third time lucky.

Will and Maruschke pick up a hobby! ehheheh otherwise you will be POAS every 2 hrs =P

Best of luck girls hope you will get the long awaited BFP soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1 more please]

Maruschke - I agree i hate the 2ww i imagine all kinds of sympoms i have lol. Someone would make a fortune inventing a POAS test you could do 3 days after O to see if you were PG.

Williever - What supplements are you taking?

Mum2onesweetbun - Sorry AF arrived. Praying 3rd time lucky for you.

Hope everyone has a great Australia Day

[Williever]

Rai - I'm taking: Blackmores concieve well gold (with folic acid 500mg) - General conception boost, CoQ10 - increase blood flow all round body including uterus ( I think I have a problem with implantation!), and folate (500mg)-total of 1000mg of it.
Also two teaspoons of honey - blood flow apparently?!

I started all this just before this cycle. Giving it everything, so hoping little eggie travelled down the right tube to a nice, soft and welcoming uterus.....FX!

Hello All,

CD31 for me today which means (and feels) AF is on her way. Which, technically means I am no longer LTTTC on clomid. If AF starts today, I start my IVF injections on Friday!! My fridge is chockers with medications ready to go!

So I guess it's kind of goodbye for now. Most of the women who were here when I started on this thread have stopped posting and a couple have graduated so I havent gotten to know a lot of the newbies, but I wish you all well on your journey to conceive. I hope you have success on clomid and that you all have happy, healthy babies in your arms by year's end. If not, I hope to see some of you in the LTTTC Assisted Conception thread

Take care all x

[Maruschke]

n2l lets hope that you get first cycle IVF success!

m2one - sorry about AF I guess the positive to draw from this is that you O'd, you have a decent LP, and the reason for the BFN was likely the timing of BD. Not anything wrong with you. FX for this new cycle.
