LT TTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin #7

[Mum2SweetCs]

Welcome melzi19 hoping your stay is very short here and you get a BFP!!!

Rai, unfortunately Im still spotting =( I cant even start a new round of clomid until i get full blown AF so looks like another very long cycle for me!!! How are you going hun?

How is everyone else going? its so quiet in this thread so i guess everyone is BDing lol

Take care oxoxo

[minniemouse]

blessedatlast: good news on getting the SA done, when will you get the result ?

tasha: how is the 2ww going ?

mum2onesweetbun: how frustrating for you, come on af get happening properly !

melzi: welcome ! i have been on and off clomid for the last 6 years, have a DD and DS from it and trying for our 3rd (3 m/c in between), currently on my 5th cycle, i ovulate on it but my problem is due to a short luteal phase

yas and mollie: how are our pregnant girls going ?

hi to everyone else

afm: cycle day 14, no sign of ovulation yet, probably won't happen to after next weekend, we have started bding just in case it happens earlier (unlikely). i got my progesterone fri so im ready to go with that once i ovulate

[Mollie89]

Hope all you ladies are well...

Im going ok. Feeling very off but I have my first scan on wednesday

Minnie I hope the progesterone helps, and you get a BFP Sticky bub!!

M2OSB I am hoping AF has shown for you, so you can start clomid again...

Melzi - Welcome!! You will find these ladies are full of knowledge! and oh so supportive

Blessed Im glad you got your DP to go for his SA... Its like getting blood from a stone!!!

Tasha Hope you got some good BDing in around O!!!

[blessedatlast]

Yes it has been quiet.. I am technically in the TWW but as you can see from my other posts, my temps have been so erratic that even if I did O i'm not holding my breath for a BFP.. I see the OB/GYN on Tuesday morning, so I will get the results of the SA and my day 21 bloods.. Hoping for a good result

Good luck for everyone and lots and lots of

Thanks minniemouse, how short was your lp? And how did clomid help? Do they suggest progesterone support at all for you? My LP is between 9-11 days long. I have a 28/29 day cycle. And I often don't get positive opks. I have got one half the shade as the control about 4 days ago now, but not holding much hope with ovulation happening this month. Because it probably won't

Anyway. I see my new doctor tomorrow. I've had the ultrasounds so I'll bring that report with me and my blood tests that I've had in regards to ttc.

Hopefully then she will see what's going on and give me a better idea of what I'm looking at!

Thanks everyone for the welcome.

Mollie - how are you hun? Congrats on your news.

I'll be back soon for persies and to get to know you all a little better.

Hi eveyone!

Melzi19, welcome. lets hope clomid does the trick for you

Blessedatlast, good luck with the SA, I'm sure it will be fine.

rai, thanks. How are you anyway?

Mum2, any sign of AF yet? Any sign of anything yet? FX it comes, or something comes!

Minnimouse, I usually O late too, it sucks! I don't hold much hope anymore unfortunately so this TWW is fine for me.

Mollie, all the best for you, good luck with the scan

AFM: Nothing happening here. I think I did O a few days ago because I now have the usual creamy CM that comes after, but i didn't have any pains at all. Seems O date is getting later and later. I just don't think the clomid is going to work for me. I have one cycle left and then on to the next step I guess.
Good luck girls!

[minniemouse]

mollie: good luck for wednesday, i hope your scan goes well :-)

blessedatlast: good luck with your dr's appointment, i hope the SA results are good and your blood test shows you ovulated and are in with a shot this month !

melzi: my luteal phase was normal until i had the miscarriages but since then it has been 9 or 10 days every cycle and unfortunately clomid hasn't helped that at all, this cycle i have progesterone to use from ovulation in the hope that helps

tasha: here's hoping you get a nice surprise from this cycle !

No signs of AF or anything, luckily DH came ehheheh

Good luck ladies!

LOL M2OSB! That's not what I meant!!!

Well I just got my day21 (which I did on day24) progesterone results, 24.5. What a difference to the last 4 cycles being 180+. So I did ovulate, but I still don't know when as I had no signs what so ever. We managed to squeeze in a few BD, but we didn't cover all bases

How the hell are we supposed to cover all bases every month?!!! Gosh it's so hard! Especially when you work and have a million things to do. If I am too tired, I am TOO tired! And if we force BD it's not fun and it just hurts! sorry if it's TMI, but this is just so frustrating!!!
Anyone else have this problem? Or am I alone on this one....

TOTALLY GET YOU MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! we definitely cannot do it everyday, not even 5 times a month to be honest. Its a chore ... =(

[1 more please]

Tasha - Fantastic at least you know you O'd that's great as long as your in with a chance that's great. OMG!!!! You are soooo right i agree with m2osb 5 times a months alot for us. I can only be bothered when i know i'm O'ing

Minniemouse - I hope the Progesterone support from Ovulation helps, praying you get your BFP very soon! And a nice sticky bubs at that!

Tasha and Rai - I am the same lovelies, I feel like BD-ing is SUCH a chore now that we are ttc... Big hugs to both of you..

AFM- Well after seeing the new doc, she has inb fact given me clomid. I will be on 50mg when I get AF. I have to have ultrasound ovulation tracking every month to check what is going on. And the usual cd3 and cd21 blood tests to make sure everything is normal.

So now its just the long wait for AF. I know i havent ovulated this cycle (so i know there wont be a bfp this month for me!) and it will show on my cd21 progesterone bt which I have to have on the 5th April... (Why do they call them cd21 tests... I have a 28/29 day cycle and the 5th april is cd23 for me...???)

Hope everyone is well.

Now to google all about Clomid...

My doc said take it on the first day of full flow ... but Ive previously been told its days 2-7??? So I think Ill stick to that!

[Marley&Me]

Glad to know I'm not alone. When you've been together such a long time the honeymoon is over. literally! Don't get me wrong, I love my DH more than anything, but it's just so hard when you have a job, a house to run, washing, banking, cooking etc.

Melzi, great news. Usually yes it is days 2-7 and cycle day 1 being the first day of red flow. Take them at night, because if you do get side effects they will be at night. I get night sweats, but they didn't start happening until the third cycle. Good luck!!

[LysnDan]

My dr wants me to take in the morning! Does it make a big difference?

Night sweats... Fun... :S the things we do to get a baby in our belleh!!!

Not looking forward to it but at least I can talk to you lovely ladies about it all...

Big hugs to everyone xxx

Melzi, I took clomid CD 2 - 7.. I took mine at night, I never even asked my doc when I should take it... I got angry, bloated, hot flushes and dizziness.. Hope your side effects aren't too bad.. GL

[LysnDan]

Thanks blessedatlast. How are your side effects now? Any better?

[blessedatlast]

Yeah, I am bloated but I am due for AF which is normal for me, however I have been bloated ALL cycle (or maybe I've just put on weight Lol).. Dizziness has gone, moodiness, well... I think overall I'm more irritable, but when I was actually taking it, I was ANGRY and lost it at the drop of a hat.. So warn your DP

[LysnDan]

Haha yeah I will thanks lovey.
