blessedatlast: im so sorry to hear your news, take care of yourself :hug:
nothingtolose: i don't really know much of your story and can't see your ticker as i type this, are you doing ivf ?
lysndan: i hope your blood tests come back sowing things are happening
afm: day 27, still no apparent ovulation, will poas later but im not expecting 2 lines anymore
nothingtolose: i just read your ticker, are you doing the fet soon ?
Minnie Mouse...
Yep, doing IVF. On my third cycle at the moment.
I hang around in here a bit still though because I am the designated moderator for this thread (and, having done six clomid cycles myself, I like to help with info as I can!!)
I have my FET transfer tomorrow if everything goes according to plan.
Ok today's blood tests have come in ... According to the lab they think I'm ovulating today?!? I'm at cd7 (well I was spotting about 3 days before then, so I started clomid on my full flow!) I could be on cd10/11... They want me to go in on Monday for another b/test to check the results.
Here were the bloods they took today-
E2-781
Progesterone- 2.5
LH- 12
Will update on Monday arvo when I know what's going on!
Whoa- and the woman who took my blood butchered me something bad lol! :(

Hmmm that's unusual that they think you have ovulated Lysndan.
Usually without medication, progesterone needs to be over 10 to indicate ovulation. With medication it usually needs to be over 20.
Same with LH. It has to be over 20 to indicate a surge (prior to ovulation).
Do you normally ovulate so early?
N2L I'm sorry I must have typed it wrong on my phone they think I'm ovulating now... So, my test on Monday should be higher.
I'm just going off what they tell me!?!?! I have no idea what unit of measure they are using they just told me to have sex tonight and tomorrow and get myself tested again on Monday to confirm levels are higher.
The main level apparently to confirm o is your e2 level apparently as the lab said it has to be more than 700. Mine was 781?
No friggin idea! :( this is confusing me. And I turned here for opinions.

Those levels are usually read on cd21 testing! I just rang the lab to ask.:
Phew!!!

Oh well. Perhaps your clinic uses different criteria than the ones I know of.
Good luck with it!!
No idea n2l but thanks honey and good luck with the ivf x

Thanks for the welcome Tasha :) I'll only be in now and then as I am working FT and trying to look for a new job :)
Blessed, hun I'm so very sorry :hug::hug:
Mel, I know what you mean bout the BT, I've still got a nice bruise from my CD21 test :(
:hello: everyone else
Just a quick one - POAS this morning and BFN but feel like it was a waste of time as I had spotting afterwards. I expect AF to be in full flow by the end of the day. But that's ok, because that means I can start my first cycle of Metformin today ;) Now, to find the perscription, and as long as AF is gone by the 20th of this month (because it's my birthday and I want some loving :p) I'll be happy.
Now a question - Do I have to stop the Metformin after a certain time in my cycle or do I have to just keep taking it regardless? And I don't remember what my gyno said was the dosage, he said something like start with half a tab once a day (or twice a day, I don't remember) then the next week go up to one tablet a day and then go up to one a half... He said something like it should result in me having like 3 in a day or something. Any help with that?
And can I ring up somewhere to ask what my CD21 test results were?
darkdreamer: its a good idea to start on a low dose of metformin to try and reduce side effects like nausea & diarrhoea and increase it slowly. you keep taking it throughout the whole cycle (i took it the whole way through my 1st pregnancy, that is controversial though). good luck !
nothingtolose: good luck with your fet, fingers crossed & sticky vibes for you
Thanks for the info minniemouse. :)
One more question, is it supposed to regulate your cycle?
Darkdreamer: it should regulate your cycles but it might take a few months, I take it you are on it for pcos or insulin resistance ?
Kinda both. My gyno said I had high insulin levels, but he was testing me for PCOS, so I'd be leaning more towards the PCOS side
Clomid has worked! Off to baby dance! Yeeha!

Be back soon chicks! :)
lysndan: im so jealous, i can't believe you ovulate so early on clomid
hi to everyone, im so sick with the flu so have been quiet, i think i will get af anytime, even though im not sure i even ovulated, this cycle has been a wipe out
Minnie mouse- I screwed up where I was in my cycle ... Apparently my levels showed that I was further along in my cycle then I thought I was? I thought I was cd7 when I went for my blood test, turns out I was cd11... Today I'm cd14! Got my baby dance on last night (and not to mention all week!) dh leaves for work tomorrow morning so my last chance to bd is tonight!
Minnie I hope you have ovulated!
How is everyone else? Hope were all well!
N2L how did your FET go? Hope you are ok!
