thread: LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin 2009 #2

    Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone here would be able to help me with a question in regards to Clomid. I have recently had a lap/D&C mid cycle and had bleeding for a week after. The FS has given me Clomid which I will be taking on days 2-6. I found the bleeding stopped the day before my cycle was to start, and its day 3 now and still no witch. Does anyone know if I should wait until the witch starts before taking Clomid or has the D&C removed the lining of the uterus and theres nothing left to shed, so hormone wise I would now be on day3 of my cycle now? Any advice on what to do would be appreciated, I am a little confused what to do after my operation, what to expect, and when the witch will return.

    Please help me out, I'm a bit worried and don't know what to do.

    Hi Girls

    Not much to add for me, im on CD8 so too early for anything,although i have had no side affects this month from the Clomid,took it at night this month,sooooo much better.

    I actually just had a weekend away with the girls, it was so nice to have a break except one of the girls announced she was pregnant a few days before we left,she only started trying last month so that was hard to deal with especially as she was drinking and smoking all weekend,it was so hard for me to shut my mouth! Oh well each to their own right???

    I hope you are all doing ok this cycle and im praying to see loads of BFP on here!

    Beckie~ How hard for you having a friend announce her pregnancy THEN continue to drink and smoke.I understand it would have been hard to not say anything...i would have slapped her.Some people dont appreciate what they have.Sorry to be nasty but its true.
    I get disgusted in pregnant women who take it for granted and put the health of their unborn baby at risk.
    Thats my hormonal whinge for the day.Dont worry Beckie...im sure it will be your turn,and mine soon enough.
    Wish i had some time away.Im at day 22 so one week to go.Really tired,needing a sleep every afternoon,quite emotional and very sore nipples and breasts.Probably AF making its ugly appearance in a weeks time.Fighting with DH and every thing feels like it falling apart.NOT HAPPY JAN!

    Well girls - I am back at work today! - don't know why as I am still in a bit of pain from my lap/hys dye thing - well results were "apparently I have some of the best tubes the doctor has ever seen"!! and they couldn't find anything wrong - I am glad there is nothing wrong - but it doesn't tell me why I haven't been able to fall yet! I will get some more answers when i go back this week (it is really doing my head in and also sitting around doing not much was not helping!)

    Oh - and my sister ( who does know we are having problems) announced she was preggies to me yesterday - she did it in a nice way and thought she should tell me - I am very happy for her - but it has upset me a bit.

    Beckie - I can soooo understand where you are coming from - it peeves me too but each to their own.


    Welcome Lioness - I would ring your FS to find out exactly what you should be doing.

    Smile

    i think any normal person (trying to concieve or not) would feel like slapping her for the drinking and smoking, so dont feel bad. Glad you are not getting any side effects - fingers crossed i have not had any effects from the clomid, the only thing i could say is i have been quite emotional and my moods have been a bit switchy but nothing too bad.

    Good news about your tubes becc lets hope there are some BFP SOON!

    i feel you girls when people are anouncing they are preggers while you so desperately want one, when i had my mc my friend was 8 months and i could not bring myself to go see her before and after the baby was born. I had to finally email her and tell her why i had been avoiding her.

    I am in a very positive place this month so i think we will all become baby buddies

    Take care

    Tammara - yes that was my final vent - only positive thinking for me from now on too (even though it is pretty hard to do).

    i didnt mean not to vent, hope it didnt sound that way. I think having a good moan is great now and then and makes you feel a lot better

    I agree about the positve vibes, i am being so positve that this month is my month!

    I am using the Pre seed, DH is on the Menevit and im doing everything i can this month so fingers crossed....

    Im glad your feeling better Bec and it is good news all is good for you although it is hard when there is no answer. I was actually so happy when they told me my cervix was blocked, it gave me an answer so to speak. I hope when you go back to Dr they can give you more info for peace of mind.

    Im on CD 9 so trying to chill out until the BD fest begins in a few days and the the dreaded 2ww but i wil lbe trying to chill out as last month i went insane so im going to try and keep so busy this month to help make it go quicker and itgs my birthday on June 12th and im due around the 16th so im hoping for a wonderful birthday pressie.

    Tammara - sorry didn't mean to sound the way it possibly came accross - I just need to be a bit more positive myself!!

    Wantbaby#2 - he left ie - gone somewhere for a few days or left you??

    Beckie - yeah it is hard no answers - but I suppose it is a good thing. Preseed is definately going to get a work out next month - I have to have this month off.

    31 Becc...Left me.It all got too much i guess. Now im trying to hold myself together to raise my 12 yr old son (husbands stepson) alone.
    I hope that all of you girls get that longed for baby .Im out for now.Going to bed to cry myself to sleep.Havnt stopped all morning.Totally devastated.
    Good luck girls.I will be thinking of you all.
    Please dont let trying for a baby get in the way of your relationship like i did.It controlled my whole life.now im alone without a husband and without that baby i sacrificed him for. Talk about empty arms. Ironic.

    Wantbaby#2 - so sorry to hear that. You need to go and get some chocolate and have some "me" time otherwise it will consume you. Thinking of you.

    Hey Frustrated - month 3 might be it.

    I went back to the FS yesterday - and they have given me the OK to do up to 3 more cycles of chlomid - then it is onto IUI. apparently there is a higher percentage of people that fall BFP after having the dye - so fingers crossed - now all I have to do is wait for a natural AF to begin - so a few weeks away I am guessing.

    Hope there are some BFP this month.

    Nice to have the forum back online.

    I am thinking that i wont have any luck this month as hubby is away working till next friday so i think timing wise it is not going to work. Unfortunately he is working away quite a bit so i think the best thing for us to do is try the clomid another month then if nothing i might look into ivf.

    Has anyone looked into this? i think (hope) i only need to use it for the freezing of sperm - because we cant guarantee when he is home and implanting. I have looked at the website but it is a bit confusing to work out cost involved with all the medicare rebates and health insurance, i just want to know how much is the most it will cost if anyone can help me out or explain it to me

    hope everyone is doing fine.

    31becc i am so hoping round 3 is my lucky round

    I had the dye test done before i started on the chlomid, unfortunately it hasnt made it any easier for me 2 fall, but they did tell me it could as it clears out anything that may be causing blockages in your tubes.. Good luck.. babydust

    Tammara :- Not sure with the health insurance etc..But im pretty sure its between $6000-$8000 that it costs up front then medicare will cover some, so you will get a little back. ( Not the doctor fee's), i am not in a health fund so i'm not aware of the amount that is covered by that.
