Hey girls hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I wish i knew exactly what it felt like 100% when i ovulate i think i ovulated today i had a slight back ache well it wasnt really pain just felt it if that makes sence? and i felt slight crampy pain sort of like period pain not bad at all just felt it. does this sound like anyone else gets when ovulating?
Fingers crossed i am because hubby came home today so will be good timing i hope :)
Girls - what is happening to this thread - it has gone very very quiet.
Tammara - fingers crossed for you - enjoy the BDing!
Beckie - let us know how you go. Hope if it will be a BFP on Friday.
it has gotten very quiet, hubby has left again so im hoping he got the job done lol will know soon enough i guess. not going to stress out about it just take it as it comes
Hi Ladies
Yeah this forum has become extremly quiet, i hope everyone is doing ok?
Well quick update on me, well no BFP for me AGAIN. I had my BT today for prog and they checked HCG so not my month. :cry::cry::cry:
Ive had a nightmare of a month, ive had very sore ovaries to the point its waking me up, had US yesterday and was told i had OHSS and had to go to hospital for 3 days,what the? Spoke with my FS today and he said i probably dont have it and i have to see him tomorrow. WHat a rollercoaster....... :wall:
DH and i have decided no more CLomid as i have tried 2 cycles (i already OV) and it was just suppose to be a boost to help me and it hasnt,its just caused me more stress and worry so no more. We have actually decided to chill out and stop ttc and just start trying to relax,godive tried everything except that so i may as well give it a go hey?
I wish you all luck and will keep and eye and see how you area ll doing, i hope CLomid is your answer :pray:
Hey beckie
i dont think i have ever really felt myself ovulate - i sort of with i knew exactly if some pain i get is ovulation but also im thankfull that im not in pain like you were.
As for me no AF as yet - bet i get it next weekend. Im flying to spend the weekend with hubby so no doubt the timing will be terrible and spoil the fun lol
I had a FS appointment on 22nd but i cant make is cos i will be with hubby so i hope i can get another appointment soon and not have to wait another 3 weeks.
hope everyone else is going well and look forward to some BFP soon!
hey Girls,
Hope everyone is doing well & had a great weekend!
So.. I'm up to day 21, going for prog test this afternoon. I have an app with specialist on Thursday to discuss where we are at. This is my 3rd round of chlomid so i guess he will be telling me how many rounds i am allowed before our last option.. IVF...
Every month i can tell when i ovulate, last month i was in that much pain for hours, but this month nothing like that at all. I had a tiny bit of pain for about 2 hours but nothing like the past, so i'm not very hopeful at all.
I had a bit of a break down on Fri night to DH, Think it was just that time again when i needed to vent. I have come to realise that there is really not much hope for us naturally and i think it all just got to me, and i hate that i am giving up on it all. :(
Iwill stop there because i can feel all those emotions from the other night coming back again..
I have been taking metformin for about 4 months now, and the past week stopped. Everyday while taking them i felt horrible, i was lathargic, Headaches and felt ill all the time all i wanted to do was lay down and had no appetite at all. i ran out of them about a week ago, and hadnt got to the pharmacy to get more,from the moment i stopped taking them i felt myself again. I had my energy & appetite back. Because i felt so good i have continued to not take them. I have been so worried that this could effect my chances, ill chat to my fs on Thursday about it but just wanted to see if anyone had any advice???
I know that the metformin is a drug to help the chlomid work better, and while i was taking the chlomid i was still taking the met it wasn't till about 1 week later i stopped.
Beckie - that is what my FS thought I had - isn't it when they get overactive? Turned out I didn't though. I can understand wanting to stop. This is the first month I have had off chlomid because of my lap/hsg dye thing and I have some clarity - didn't know how much the chlomid was affecting how I thought! So it is somewhat bothering me to go back on it!
Tammara - fingers cross you get AF soon (or not at all!) Timing is everything and it is horrible having to wait again. Let us know how you go with the FS.
Frustrated - sorry I wasn't on Met so don't know the effects - What does your FS say about going off it? Don't worry about the meltdown - it think it is very much justified! I think it is needed every now and then - or you would loose your mind stressing!!
AFM - am waiting for AF to arrive - up to day 29 - i thought I would have got them a bit earlier after my lap, but they haven't arrived. Waiting waiting and more waiting!
All the best girls.
Ok so i got my day 21 prog results back and it was "7" .. LAst time it was 45...
On day 21 i was getting Ov like pains and thought that maybe i ov late, when i got that result they thought that it was ver possible that i did.. I have fs app this week so i'm hoping to get more answers about it all then. I have been on Met for 4 months and 3rd round chlomid and havent seen him once, so looking forward to it.
31becc :- Fingers crossed AF doesnt arrive
AF arrived late Monday - so at least I can get started again - just not looking forward to being on chlomid again!
Becc:- I am so the same when Af arrives i'm so dissapointed that it didnt work and also so not looking forward to the chlomid again!
I'm hoping that me not talking the met the for the past week has not made it impossible for this to be my month im really worried and feel like i have let myself and dh down by not taking them..
Frustrated. Sometimes the body just needs break. so don't stress. Have you rang your FS to check?
yeah i did, i spoke to the receptionist.. She said to chat to him about it tomorrow when i have my app. She said that the met controls our body not the actual chlomid.So it shouldn't have effected the chlomid working. But its just weather or not my body did what its supposed to without the met. She said that there is a diff kind of drug that does the same thing as the met that fs will prob get me to try apparently the side effects are no where near as bad. She said that the met can have really bad side effects but i think feeling the way i did for 3 1/2 months is not normal.
Well just an update - am starting my 6th round of Chlomid tonight - hope I breeze through it this month! Good luck to everyone else.
Good luck 31 becc.
Ok wel my fs app didnlt go real well. He told us that there is no real good us doing any more rounds of chlomid and that our best chance is ivf. We have to register fr ivf and go from there.
The thing now is the $. I don't want to be waiting months to be saving to do this.
Its just so not fair, after app i was very emotional, with the " Y me's? What have i done to deserve to b going thru this, were 26 yeas old and being told we cant have a baby on our own, Its so not fair. I ned tgo really try to get my head around it all and except that this is what we have to do. I went to fs expecting to be told just to do another 2 rounds and see how we go, not get told not todo any more and this is our next step.
Me and Dh just want this so much its not fair for anyone to have to go thru this :(
Hi everyone
i hadnt got an email to say there were new posts, lots going on. AF came for me today but my mind is not on baby making at the moment i was taken to hospital wednesday in extreme pain - same i had when i found out i was preg, after tests and waiting found out i was not preg but have gal stones so spent 3 days in hospital. have to possibly have surgery next week so im not thinking there will be any BFP for me for a month or two.
Didnt get to go see hubby but he drove 8 hours home to be with me, time like these i think how lucky i am to have him.
Its a bit late to reply to your metformin dilema but when i was only taking met i fell preg after about 2-3 months taking it so it must do some good. I have had a bit of a look at costing of IVF and at fist it looks like a lot but there is the medicare rebate thing that kicks in after you spend so many dollars then you get 80% off the cost. i found the monach ivf website pretty interesting to read if you have not already.
Im off to bed my back is killing me, night and good luck ladies
Frustrated - I know this won't help - but just think you can move on and get it started. As Tammara said - she has looked into IVF as I did and I posted maybe a page or so back the breakdown of costs and what you get back - that my FS has on his website - hope this helps.
Tammara - my goodness - that is not good. I can see why you aren't thinking of the chlomid this month then. Very lucky you have a supportive DH and he was straight down by your side. Fingers crossed that the surgery goes well.
As for me - I have babies all around at the moment - my husband's sister is having her 4th, my brother's wife has just announced she is preggies - they were trying for 2 months and my sister is also preggies - she also only trying for a few months. I am very happy for them all but I am still upset (which makes me feel really selfish and trying not to be).
Aw Tammara i hope all is ok with the Gal stones. Hope you make a full recovery soon to get back to baby making :)
31becc :- I so understand how you feel, Since my and dh have been tring there have been so many ppl that we know that have fallen and now since have had there little ones, its so hard coz you want to be the one going thru it also. Hopefully it will be your turn soon.
Ok well after going to my fs last week and hearing that he thinks the best was for me and DH is IVF, we had to have another prog test as my day 21 was 6 and as i thought i ovulated that day they said to have another one. And as i need to update my rebella i had to have a ph test done to make sure im not pg before doing so..
I got my results back today and my day 25 prog test had gone up to 76, which they said was great. They suggested that yes i did ovulate late and that my levels are either on there way up or on there way back down .. Also my pg test came back neg, the nurse said this test was irrelevant as if i did ovulate late then it was way to early to detect any preg at that time. Its kinda given me a ittle bit of hope, this is our last chance before the ivf it would be such a miracle for this to be our time. i'm praying everyday for this!.. The nurse said to leave it 1 week and if i still have no periods to go back and get another blood test done...
The past 2 days i have been feeling so nauseas i think this is due to all the stress that i have put on my body from the news we got from spec last week, & today i have little cramps, and a sore back.. I think this is to early to be period pain as my cycle is normally 32-24 , and im on 29, so like i said prob from the stress i'm putting on myself...
I really hope someone has some good news for us all soon :)
Fingers crossed for you Frustrated. Hope you have some good news.
We do need some good news in this Thread - there hasn't been any for a little while.
Ok so no go for me last round. Like i said our fs told us to go straight to ivf now, but as the funds aren't quite there yet i have decided to do 1 more round of clomid while we wait.
Frustrated - Definately you should have another go whilst you wait. What harm can it do?
Hi,
I had posted the below in LTTC but found this sub area that may be fits better (no one had replied). Any help is appreciated (now on D3 of Clomid - 6/7/09).
Hi,
After having no period (or ovulation) for 6 months I had an ultrasound & blood tests and was diagnosed with PCOS. A specialist has prescribed Provera to kick start period and then Metformin and Clomiphene for ovulation. Couple of questions to the more experienced with these drugs...
* My period off Provera is very, very light - will this matter? (CD 5 for Clomid is tomorrow 4/7/09 but concerned that period so much lighter than what it used to be - on pill)
* In your/others experience... what are most common days of cycle for ovulation? Guess it varies from around D10 up to D20 but is this affected by Clomid?
* Do OPKs work with Clomid?
* My BBT is still all over the place, useless for ovulation prediction. Does this sound normal?
* Any other advice? I am trying to eat healthily, drink less alcohol, caiffene, etc etc but still... it's already been a long time TTC and I know I could be in for a lot longer!
Many thanks!
Kim
Hi girls, just checking in on you all... This threAd is so quiet, what's happening?
I hope everyone is doing ok wherever they are in they're cycle . Fingers crossed we see lots of bfp's in the next few weeks...
Xx thinking of you all.
Hey everyone - yes it is quiet
Hows everything been with you Ella's mum?
I O'ed on day 19 this month and had my post O bloody test on Friday just been. I had a reading of 121.5 - I have only ever gotten to 60 or 70. Does anyone knnow what this means, does it mean that I have released a lot of eggs? I can't start testing until this Friday, so am trying not to stress.
Hi Ladies
Im just checking in, was hoping there would be good news. Im pretty much all better now, ended up having the gal bladder taken out so no more pains. Just did a test this morning - just in case but not BFP as i thought.
Even though there is no good news yet i hope your all doing ok and trying to stay positive :) im going to see the IVF Dr Thursday so i hope i get enough information and he can tell me my best option.
Good to see you are feeling better Tammara. I hope you get some postive feedback when you go to the FS this week.
AFM - well there is a glimmer of hope - I am not suppose to start testing until Friday, but my heart has been going 100 miles an hour, so thought I would POAS this morning and I had two lines! The second was lighter but my test pack said that they didn't have to be the same colour and if I was not, there would be no second line at all. I am really trying not to get my hopes up - but I don't recall ever having the slightest of second lines, so I assume I will have to wait until Friday before I can get a BT.
Fingers crossed.
Becc31 that is fabulous news I'm so excited for you, my first + poas took a while to appear and was much lighter than the control line. It looks to me like you've gotten over the tough part. What wonderful news. Also, just so you know, you will get a + bt before you get a + poas so your bt would definately give you the answer your hoping for.
good luck i've got everything x'd for you.
I've been going well thanks becc, had some ms for the first 10 weeks and have seemed to come good for now. Have had a couple of scans which has been amazing and am just hanging out for the big 20 weeker.
Tammarra I'm glad your back on track must have been a painful couple of weeks for you. Hopefully u can get some positive news from your fs this week.
Ellasmum I have just gone and got a blood test - now it is a wait for the results - I hate how everything is waiting!
I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you Becc will be great to get the BFP! good luck
Good Luck Becc, i look forward to hearing the result :pray:
We're always wainting for something aren't we.... Waiting for AF, waiting to start Clomid, waiting for Dye Thingy, waiting to do BT, Waiting for Results, waiting for 12 week hurdle... My God!!!! It never ends!!!!!
Good Luck babe...
Hi girls - well had the blood test yesterday and I tested positive, however, because I did it before my AF due date they just want me to do another on Monday. My FS said that it is very unlikely I won't test positive on Monday.
Wil let you know how I go then. I am in absolute shock and in my mind even though they have said it was positive, until Monday I don't feel like I can relax about it!
one word
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS BECC :dance::dance::dance:
CONGRATULATIONS BECC, ENJOY! :dance::dance::dance:
Thanks girls.
It was my first month back on clomid after having the dye through my tubes, so it must make a difference - my doctor said it would.
But I will wait until Monday to feel at ease though.
:clap: Congrats Becc thats such wonderful news, we needed some hope for the rest of us! I just got so excited for you when i read all the messages.
Well i'm up to day 15, decided to do another round of chlonid while i was to get see councellor for the ivf. Me and Dh keep thinking how fantastic it would be if on our last try it worked ...
Fingers crossed for everyone else who is still trying. Its gets so hard sometimes.
The dye was what worked for me too becc, amazing.
Hi girls
I'm just about to start my first round of clomid. My FS has had me on the pill to bring on AF (I don't ov on my own and have only had one natural AF since TTC) and I will go for a BT tomorrow to check my hormones are baseline. If all ok, I will start on day 3. I'm not sure if this is my FS clinic's standard procedure or if its because of me specifically, but I am being monitored throughout with BT and scans and then injections of HCG to trigger and then smaller ones to sustain. Its all very overwhelming, with almost everyday having someting to do even after ov!
I thought I'd come in and say hi and introduce myself and get some hints about clomid. I have heard about headaches and backaches, but I didn't know about the spotting that I have just read about in this thread. Would you suggest taking it at night first go or should I take in the morning first?
Thanks for listening!
Hi melly
Hope you find the thread as helpfull and reassuring as i ave. From my personal experience i have taken the clomid at night and ive not had any side effects - well nothing noticable anyway. My FS has me starting on day three also so it might be a standard thing they do.
GoodLuck
Thanks for all the nice messages, but am still in a trance about it all and don't think I will feel 100% good about it until I hear it on Monday I still have a positive on Monday.
Frustrated - fingers crossed for this month for you. I hope it happens.
Welcome Melly - this groups is really supportive. it is great because everyone understands exactly what you are going through. It makes such a difference, because anything goes and usually you can get some answers of the questions you may not want to ask out in the real world!
I am with Tammara - definately take at night as it reduces the side affects, I found a huge side affect for me was being irrational about things - it is frustrating because you know it is the medication!
Fingers crossed for everyone.
