LT TTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin #7

LynsDan - I bought 50 tests off e bay.. 40 OPK's and 10 HPT, it was only $20.95 Lol.. Not sure how accurate they are but at least it can satisfy my poas addiction..

M2OSB- Bummer about your doc.. I hate it when they don't listen.. You know your body.. (well sometimes Lol)

Tash - I hope you don't mind me asking, but if your progesterone is so high, that means you are ovulating right? Does your doc have any idea why you are not pregnant yet? The only reason I'm asking is because my doc seems to think that if I'm not pregnant in 3 months maybe my tubes are blocked.. Thing is, I can't afford to have a lap with her as she is private, so I am going to ask if I can do clomid for more cycles, if I don't fall pg.. Does your doc have a plan for you?

Bal- I have brought opks off eBay. And the digital ones too. Can't wait to get the smiley faces once I ovulate!!

I go through so many!!!! The digi ones from the uk are about 50 including postage for a 20 pack!

well went to the docs, she said no im not pregnant
gotta go have an ultrasound. I think one of my cysts might have bursted (i have PCOS)

Oh m2osb- I hope it's nothing serious and you get some answers as to what's going on. When is your ultrasound? How is the PCOS on Clomid? Does it settle it down or make it worse? Wouldn't the dosage be kept at a minimum as to not over stimulate your ovaries? Do you have constant monitoring or unmonitored cycles?

Hope the bleeding stops and hope it's not af. Nor anything serious. Xx big hugs

I have unmonitored cycles but i want to switch FS as I dont feel my current one is doing enough to be honest.

I am not sure what clomid has on PCO, but i guess we'll see.

Ill try to get my U/S done tomorrow during lunch.

:DHi girls, I need to ask a question. In your 2ww is anyone good and not eat deli meats or things you are not supposed to? I have some ham in the fridge from the deli and would love a ham and cheese sandwich. Sorry i know very basic stupid question.

Rai as long as the Ham or deli meat is well in it's date then use it.

You're in you're tww so you don't know if your pregnant as yet. A lot of women who are pregnant and don't know do silly things like go out on alcohol benders the night before they find out they are pregnant and doctors advise that it will be ok. ;)

So eating a bit of deli meat or cheese shouldn't be a problem in my opinion. But that's just me. If your not comfortable. Then don't! :)

LysnDan - Thank You i agree makes me feel better though. I'm off to have my sandwich:D

Sorry another question does anyone or has anyone tried the fertility diet? I'm curious because i think i can get DP to agree to 1 round of something either IVF or IUI in July but i will only have that one chance as his pig headed and that's all he will let me do. So it's like it will be 3 years of trying then and if its ment to be then it will happen or if it does not work in July i will give up trying altogether. I need advise what would you do to give you a better chance of getting that BFP? Is there anything i can do? besides losing the 20kg's i need to.:think:

hi girls,

BAL: my progesterone has been 29, 14, 19 and thats on clomid so wow yours are high ! my specialist says over 13 means your ovulated. when are you going to test ?

Rai: i never really think about avoiding things in the 2ww (or in pregnancy for that matter) but i do avoid alcohol in the second half on the 2ww (& pregnancy).
i haven't done a fertility diet but undertand the needing to lose weight to help things (doing that myself at the moment). do you mind explaining what is your DP reasoning is about only doing one cycle ? what do you think you will go for ivf or iui ? i have thoughts about which is best but i'll only share if you want lol

lysndan: i can understand you going through opt's, i was doing 3 of day around when i thought i should be ovulating !

mum2onesweetbun: sorry to hear you are having problems and strange bleeding, i have pcos too, i hope your ultrasound goes well

gecko: hello to you, sorry i can't remember what you are up to (your last post was on the previous page)

mollie: are you still reading ? how was your scan ?

afm: day 17, opt still negative, looks like its going to be another cycle of 22-24 ovulation

I got my digital opks. I've already done 2 ... And not positive.

Hey ladies, I am new to your thread so I hope you dont mind me crashing it. I thought I would introduce myself...Currently I am ttc#2 and on my second cycle of clomid and have PCOS. First cycle I was on 50mg and my prog level at day 21 was only 5.7, my levels taken 6 months ago before treatment were only around 1 so it did slightly improve. Now Im on clomid 100mg and cd10 here...lets hope this time I ovulate! Hope to hear from you soon

Welcome mystic angel.

Let's hope it works better this time.

Well ladies.

EDIT: spotting cd16 and cd17 only a little bit though. In cm... :s

So if I'm cd1 ...it will probably be tomorrow and then cd2 I start clomid 50mg... (providing this is af and not just a bleed of some sort, which I'm thinking it is a midcycle bleed of some sort. It prob won't be o bleed. Maybe I o'd earlier and it's trying to implant? I hate not knowing what's going on.

Minnie of course I am still reading and stalking you lovelies hoping and praying every day that one of you gets a bfp!!! My scan went really well got to see my little Bug's heart beat.

Lynsdan you should see if your doc can see you for monitoring bt's and scans, it's make it alot easier and it means no opks :)

Hope the rest of you are well :)

Mollie ive got a form but my dr doesn't know when to send me for my clomid tracking ultrasound. I have a form for cd21 progesterone tracking too. So im on monitored clomid cycles already.

mollie: wwwhhhooo thats great news, you must be so happy tonight ! :hug: :happyforyou:

Mystic_angle - WELCOME:D

LysnDan - Praying its a implant bleed and you get your BFP. Its really fustrating when you dont know what's going on:pray:

minniemouse - My DP does not really even want to do anything but will do a sperm sample for me but only one. His attitude is he has his boy so if we have more fine but does not really care if we do or not and basically his fine so what ever it is is my fault and he wont even discuss anything about falling PG with me. That's why i'm so pleased i have everyone here to talk to and ask questions to. I think IVF only because FS told me you have a better chance at falling PG with IVF but not 100% if that's what i should do I would love to know what you think:hug:

He is only an OBS/GYNO so he called an endocrinologist (who are have more expertise) and she said it was fine to have levels that high, unusual, but fine. After this next cycle I will go back and then we will discuss what to do next. I don't think my tubes are blocked because i did fall PG 8 years ago. But I have heard that if clomid doesn't work in the first 3 cycles then it probably wont, but I have also known of ladies that have got a BFP on their 4th or 5th cycle, so who knows. My problem used to be that I wasn't ovulating enough and I have ovulated every cycle with clomid, but no BFP! Maybe I will have more tests when I go back to see him.

I think it's just a bit of old blood left over from my af to be honest. Or maybe dh was too harsh when dtd on Monday night? I had a teeny tiny spot yesterday that was brownish cm. And today I had a teeny spot of red/pink cm? No idea. I'll watch my temps and see what's going on. Very odd because I've had not one positive opk (today or last week) hmmm I really hope af doesn't come until it's supposed to.

We shall see... I've already doctor googled....

Whatever it is... It has stopped. Fx it stays that way so I get af when I am supposed to!
