LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin 2009 #2

Hi Tammara, thats alot to take in, i wish you all the luck for that.. it must be very hard..

Tammara, that sounds like a plan,lucky you,at least your moving forward! My girlfriend had IUI last year and now has a gorgeous baby boy.....

Im on CD21 and nothing out of the ordinary to report, having alot of symptoms but have learned the hard way that CLomid can do this so not reading too much into it.

I hope everyone else is doing ok!!!!:p:p

Hi beckie - yeah things are moving forward which is good but also i am trying very hard not to get my hopes up while trying to stay positive

Erin - i guess it seems like a lot but it isnt too bad really, and if it does get hard i will just remember its all worth it :)

Good night all

hey everyone,
Just cathing up on everyone's last month, I have been so busy so havent got on in here in awhile.
Tammara i wish you all the luck, please keep me posted as in about 2 weeks when i get af i am starting the process of ivf.I will be put on a pill for 18 days then the rest seems exactly what you are doing, the spray then the injections.We had our councellor app 2 days ago and we got the all clear to start. Looking forward to it and glad we took the next step, It is alot to take in but like you said Tammara what we will get out of it at the end makes it so worth it...
I get really scared when i think about the entire process but then i see a pic in my mind of what our bubby will look like and its all goes away. DH is being so great, Dr FS warned him of the moods etc, and he just said to me that he will put up with what ever it takes for us to get our angel. He will also be the one doing my injections as there is no way possible i could do this myself
I hope everyone else is moving on great!

The injections really arent that bad the first 14 days are done with a pen (like a diabetic pen needle) the last lot of needles are done with a suringe and they are the ones that might sting so i will have my fingers crossed for those ones. To be honest i would rather use the pen needle instead of the spray. it leaves a yucky taste in your mouth so i advise having a glass of water handy when spraying.

Thanks Tammara, Its good to hear from someone who is doing the same thing to give some advice. I hope it's all going great for you & everyone else :)

Everything is going fine, i have my third blood test today so i will find out tomorrow if i go to the next step and then have my ultrasound (i would guess wednesday) then if all is well the procedure is done friday.

Im excited but also a little scared, ive been trying so hard not to get my hopes up because the chances of it working are still small but im keeping positive too.

Good luck Tammara i have everything crossed for you :)
I have my fs app next week to get all my pills and sprays so i can get started when af arrives.
Excited/nervous and anxious.

I go for my ultrasound on thursday so i hope there is the right amount of folicles and they are all good ones.

Frustrated - the needles are not that bad at all, i found if i put the needle in slowly it didnt hurt at all, there has only been one needle that was a bit sore but not too bad. Good luck with your journey

Hi All,
Just thought I would join in here.... Haven't quite been 12 months TTC this time around - only since Feb, however took 2 year with DD #1 and am now off to OB on Tuesday to get script for Clomid. This was how I had to conceive #1, so have been there done that, so to speak, but still pretty nervous about it! Don't know if anyone else experiences the same, but I was an extremely difficult person to live with at times! V. moody and unstable! Anyway - fingers crossed, it worked really well for me last time so hopefully nothing has changed!

Hey girls - just thought I would pop in and see how everyone is going on this thread - good to see you are getting started both Tammara and Frustrated. Hi to the new girls on the thread.

Hope everyone is travelling well.

Hi girls

An update with me - Had my ultrasound last Thursday to check for folicles, unfortunately there were not enough big ones so my injections were bumped up from 50 to 75ml. I Just had another ultrasound this morning and unfortunately again not enough big ones. So now i am stopping the nose spray and bumped the injections to 100ml for a week then go for another ultrasound next Monday and hope that the folicles are big enough. The risk now is that i will produce too many big ones and have to stop everything alltogether. It is so hard sometimes.

So unfortunately my usuall positive self is having a bit of a melt down today, i sometimes feel that im all alone in the process cos hubby is working away so even though i know he is here for me it still gets me down.

Enough poor me now. Hope everyone else is feeling better than i am today.

Aw Tamara i feel for you, once you start this i guess you just think Yay Im on my way, well thats how i am feeling anyway. I gues you dont think everything that could go wrong will. I 'm so sorry and im praying for you that this time next week you will be telling us that your have the right amount/size etc...:crossfingers:
I went and got my pill and nasal spray yesterday , all ready to start next week when af arrives Excited, nervous so many different emotions.
Thinking of everyone and hoping for some good news :)

Thanks frustrated, i think its worse cose of all the hormones going mental. I actually go for my ultrasound on friday not monday so if all goes well (fingers and everything crossed) i might be able to get the insemination done on saturday cos hubby is home friday night .

good luck with everything yourself

Oh Hormones, im so over them, i cry then i laugh then i cry again. Im constantly apologising to Dh, When the nurse told us that the spray is like putting my body into early menopause he was like nooooooo.. U feel sorry for him. :( But he is great and trying so hard to tolerate my moods..
Good luck :)

one good thing is im not using the spray at the moment but i have deffinately noticed the hot flushes - omg im not looking forward to menopaus lol

Just wondering if anyone has heard of a procedure called golfing? it apparently helps the folicles. When i spoke to the Dr they said that could be an option but i have tried to google it and cant find anything - im probably spelling it wrong.

Afternoon Tammara - I have heard of ovary golfing. I looked it up once as my FS mentioned it to me.

Here is a link:

Women, Hormones and the Menstrual ... - Google Books

Hope it helps
