LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin 2009 #2

[Sara69]

Hi Wantababy, just also had a BFN in the TWW but after an IVF cycle - I was very surprised finding that my period was very very heavy - about double as strong as normal but have been assured by the nurses and the other ladies here that this is normal. Good luck with your journey.

Beckie73 - about 2 times each cycle i have been getting really bad back aches, to the point where im nearly in tears last time it lasted 2 days i was in so much pain, i have heard the back pain is normal tho.

So im on day 12 now, and getting ready to make this month count lol

[beckie73]

Thanks Frustrated, i was starting to worry,it was killing me.....

Im now on day 18 so lets hope im on my way to my BFP, i will be testing hopefully Thursday,im off to get a BT,it will be day 21!

I suppose there is not much more i can do now except cross my fingers and pray that this month is my month!

Want #2 I think it could be the clomid read below this AF?? (if that what you could call it!) is my first since starting the clomid.

HELP PLEASE CLOMIDERS!!!!!
Ok go from when I got the +opk and the doc said I ahve two mature eggs then he told me they both released...6 days later I got two gushes of blood ( fresh) Sorry for TMI. then I test and get a BFP thenn I read on test it could be the clomid so i get told to retest after RB due..The on Friday afternnon I assume what is RB starting ( old blood dark brown and not much) then from Friday night to Saturday nothing at all weird... then saturday got a tiny bit of bleeding again old blood at night nothing to write home about then again nothing.....Then last night I started getting really bad pain lkike I mean really really bad ... the same pain as what I was getting between having to go back and have all those D&C's like I know this pain all too well....... I NEVER get period pain and this pain is like first stage labour cramping pain...now just starting to get a tiny little bit dark brown and a tiny bit of fresh but again nothing to exciting.....and the pain setting in again so i bet it will slow down to nothing again...The problem is FS wants to do ultrasound monitoring this cycle and tomorrow makes me @ day 5 for the clomid but I can't say this is AF IYKWIM. He also wants to rush me in to have a go at IUI this month instead of going on a waiting list ( because of my August deadline of the 1 yr anniversary of my reversal) .....AARRRGGHHHHHHHHH What is my body doing?????????? HELP ME ANY IDEAS PLEASE???????? The oh so frustrated and confused EM !!!!

WOW i dont know....sorry.Sounds confusing.The only thing i do know is that clomid can cause spotting and intermittent bleeding.Thats all i can find out.Best to let the doc sort it out.I wish i could be more helpful.

Does anyone know for sure if taking clomid later will postpone ovulation slightly? I was on 50mg days 2-6 last month.I ovulated between day 14/15.(+ OPK plus sharp cramps both ovaries over 2 days)
My husband is away for a week days 9-14 of my cycle.Im at day 2 of my cycle and thought about starting clomid tomorrow(days 3 of cycle) to hopefully have hubby back in time.Otherwise i have to wait 2 cycles.He's away for work this month then a stupid,irritating golf trip next month......devoted hey?

Hi girls! Just dropping in to send love and to all! Stay strong and positive!

Hi everyone, hope your all doing and feeling well.

Wantababy, i am sort of in your situation, my husband has been working away 10 days home 4 so it is very much pot luck. I would deffinately give it a go, if it doesnt work this month i would talk to your DR and ask him to give you another month worth - as long as taking the clomid more than 3 months doesnt hurt you then i say go for it.

Because i have never really paid attention untill now, im not sure if i am getting "o" pains or not, im getting like a crampy pain - was quite bad today it sort of feels like ummm you know when you have been busting for a wee and your bladder is full? well it is sort of that kind of feeling. . . . . . . probably not explaining it well but fingers crossed and i have ovulated.

Dont know if i have said it but i am very greatfull that i found this forum because it has given me hope and lots of answer xxoo

MRZ - maybe you should get your FS to do a blood test. That will rule out anything, before you start taking the tabs again.

Wantbaby#2 - I had the same situation two months back. I would take the risk and take the tablets this month and hope it coincides.

I hate waiting during that 2 week faze!

Hi I am new to this thread as I have been doing IUI uising puregon for 18 months now. I just have a few questions as my new FS has put me on metformin. What is it for? Other than regulating your insulin levels. Is it to help with weight loss, as I lost 11kg on reductil in just under 60 days in the last week i have lost 2kg more. What more does he want from me?

[tammara]

Hi Saph

I am pretty sure the metformin is to help insulin levels and i think by doing that, you get the assisted weight loss. Also i think it helps get your period regular (it has done this for me) im not 100% if what i say is right but i think it is.
