Luna: i answered you in the other thread

i have a question for you all (in a minute) i still negative opt's here, it seemed to be darker a few days ago, it seems to do this, gets darker (but not positive) then goes away again a bit and then a week later happens again so im wondering if the egg isn't that great when its finally released. do you think 100mg of clomid would make me ovulate sooner or "stronger", for those on 100mg do you ovulate earlier in the cycle. i have pcos so im wondering if that is causing a problem with egg quality

I don't know about 100mg. But I know this is why my FS gives me a HCG trigger shot. It does the final maturation of the egg and ruptures the follicle. It is supposed to be mimicing the function of LH in an unmedicated cycle. So I guess it's something to ask them, but it could help if you think you are not getting enough LH to rupture your follie at the time when it is at it's healthiest. Hope this helps and sorry I couldn't really answer the question. I also have PCOS and this is why I started clomid+trigger straight away.

AFM totally crap day, the buyer pulled out on our contract... so now all our plans are up in the air and the house we wanted, we can't bid on. Totally peeved. Have this negative feeling coming over me that we will have the same luck this cycle. Ugh. Sorry for the random vent.

Is anyone planning on starting IVF soon? We may have the opportunity to start 1 month before we planned to. We have done all the pre-ivf stuff and can go whenever.......... Knowing that we can start earlier has made it all too real and I am having little freak-outs today. I wonder if anyone else is in the same situation?

All the best with it! The people I speak to in real life about IVF say that physically it wasn't anywhere near as bad as they psyched themselves up for, but the ladies over in IVF/ICSI threads might be able to tell you more . Are you emotionally ready though? You have waited 4 years, and it's only one month between your two start dates... so I guess I would go for it so long as I felt mentally / emotionally prepared for what was ahead.

It is more exciting than scary really .

I guess that's what I'm asking myself........It is very exciting and I'm sure I can manage it.........I really don't know what I'm asking myself. Probably just afraid. Hmmmm
Thanks Maruschke x

Ladies, thank you very much for your answers. You put my mind at ease a bit, at least I know I will not necessarilty get triplets on Clomid :-)

I live in the US, and the doctor I am seeing is a fertility specialist, the best in the area. My friend just went through IVF cycle with him and now she is pregnant with twins. The problem is, and she agreed with me, he is not really that interested in you until you decide on the ivf. And they specialize in women who have trouble conceiving, not keeping the pregnancy, so I do not think I quite fit there.

Bec - I am so sorry for your loss, it is horrible, isn't it? I know you were devastated to lose the tube with your baby, but from what I know now, I really think it is a better option. First of all, as your doctor said, your good tube can "catch" the egg from the other side. And then, even if you get to keep your tube after ectopic, it may be opened but damaged and it just increases the risk of another ectopic. If I knew what I know now, I would opt to have it removed. Good luck with your TTC, you have very good chances IMHO.
