LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin 2009 #3

[Keli]

Hey Ladies,

Oh Mez Moz that is wonderful news that your op went so well, you sound like you'll be having a quick recovery too. Yeha so sorry I forgot to tell you about the blue pee, he he! Hope the pain killers are still working for you today and that your recovery is quick and you can teach that yogo class in 4 days time.

Tammara that is awesome to hear that your counselling went well and that you are starting the process. Is it just me or has that happened so quickly? That is awesome I'm so pleased for you. How exciting, you could be UTD within 6 weeks, wow I have everything crossed for you.

Frustrated wow 17 and a half weeks that is awesome hun, thanks for your updates and your sensitivity with the subject, it's so refreshing!

Jess are you ok love, you sound a little down at the moment. I hope your job situation picks up. Good luck with round 4 of clomid, fingers crossed. YEs I am feeling much more possitive about everything now. Has your FS discussed a possible lap for you?

As for me...well I'm still off work heading back on Wednesday (my boss has decided to close for business on Monday as Tuesday is Australia day) so hopefully I'll be back to my usual self by then. My recovery has been a lot longer than I ever expected but hopefully this rest will have been just what I needed and we can get UTD very soon.

Good luck to all, I love hearing where everyone's at.

Keli xxoo

Hi ladies I have just found this thread so I thought I would join in
I am TTC#2 and been trying for 4 years now
I am on colimd and this is my second round, I have finished the tablets for this cycle and I am waiting to O now
Does anyone have PCOS as well as LTTC and on clomid?
I have long cycles and it varies so I am not sure when I will O if I O I have got OPK and will start using it tomorrow I think
I also have to take provera to entice AF to come as well so this doesn't help the situation
DH and I BD every second day is this a good idea?
I hope everyone is doing well
For u ladies that have had the OP's I hope ur feeling better now
I had a Lap and D&C last April and came back from it well but I dont remember ever having blue pee from the dye lol thats a new 1 for me lol

Hi ladies,
I was just wondering if I could join your thread. DH and I have one child conceived on Clomid. He's 3 now and we have been TTC since july 2007. I went on clomid again in april, had a BFP first month in, and then m/c at 5 weeks. We stayed on clomid and got another BFP in November, and again m/c at 5 weeks. I have just today been for a u/s with Dr Andrew Ngu who's apparently excellent, and he diagnosed me with PCOS (which I've suspected for a while) and a polyp in my uterus. Apparently the polyp can cause problems with implantation????

I'm a bit dazed and confused at the moment and I'm waiting to hear from FS to discuss the next step. I have now taken clomid for 7 cycles (my cycles are 35 days at least) and I've read you should only take it for 6 cycles.

Has anyone had similar experiences? I'd appreciate any advice or info,

Bec

Welcome to the new ladies!

I'm still feeling sore and hobbling around after my lap yesterday.

Keli, did you FS say you can start BDing as soon as you are up to it? I'm wondering if we have to wait a cycle before TTC. Guess I'll find out all the details when I see FS on Thursday. Don't know about you but those damn painkillers have made me constipated so now I'm taking laxatives with my digesics!

becnxavi - soz but I haven't had PCOS so can't help you there, but I did do 2 rounds of clomid before my lap yesterday. I had very irregular cycles, but clomid worked both times and made me O around day 17 - 19, then the cycle after when I wasn't on clomid I o'd on day 19 which was a miracle for me! So i think clomid has kicked my ovaries into gear. I'm just hoping the lap doesn't make my cycles go haywire again.

got1want1more - my FS said to BD every second day leading up to O and then every day just before O'ing. I guess the more you do it the more chances you have, but I know that sometimes you just want a break!

Here's another question for you girls TTC - am I the only one jumping the gunn and researching obs and hospitals? It seems like you have to book in as soon as you get your BFP! I would love to have a home birth but DH couldn't cope with that, so I'm trying to find out obs who avoid intervention unless absolutely neccessary. Anyone have any suggestions in Melbourne?

Hey Porsche...a word of warning about your lap recovery....don't do what I just did!

Warning ladies - poo about to be mentioned:

Because the pain meds they give you after your lap can make you constipated, I took some Nulax laxatives, but 12 hours later I was still feeling constipated which doesn't feel great when your insides are a bit tender anyway. So I took some more. BIG MISTAKE! Within an hour of taking the second lot, the first lot kicked in. ARGH!!! Anyway, to cut a horrible story short, I had the worst runs I have ever experienced in my life and spent the early hours of the morning attached to the loo! So my advice is to avoid laxatives, or only take one dose every 24 hours instead of two like I did.

So now I've had a thorough spring cleaning of all my plumbing down there! lol

Two days after my lap I'm still feeling a bit tender, but don't need pain killers anymore. I bet I'd be feeling a lot better too if I hadn't given myself the runs!

Nice work Mez lol

Hi All,

Hoping I can join in! Brief b/ground/ TTC # 2 for 16 months, 2 m/c whilst ttc # 2 (4 all up) prescribed clomid (just finished rd 3) - but with no monitoring... Is that normal? OBS said to come back after 6 mths ttc on clomid if no success (viable pg), but now I am thinking of just going back & demanding a referral to a FS or can I get a referral from my GP to a FS?

Sorry for the 'me' post. Just feeling gutted since AF showed up today

Oh my gosh what pain you must have been in. I will def not take any laxettes then. At least you know you have clear pipes now lol.

To the ladies with PCOS I also have PCOS. I'm currently CD33/10DPO on my 6th round of clomid. For the last 2 cycles I've had no monitoring as it is just to keep me regular untill my lap.

All the other 4 cycles I've just had the 21 day BT to see if I had actually O'd.


Becnxavi - I have 35 day cycles as well. I also get soore BB's as well in the 2WW.

Got1want1more - Well, best not bother with Monash Clayton then cos I am classified obese. My gf is obese and she went to Monash - go figure.... Why do they have to be so rude? Goodness knows that we are under enough 'stress' ttc not to be burdened with other thoughts that aren't positive.

Bec - No, I haven't had a saline u/s - I will ask for one of those. I actually just re-booked with my GYNO/OBS to ask for a referral to a FS, I can get in on the 8th Feb, which suits as I am away next week. On a seperate note, I hope those signs are positive!

Mez - I do yoga in a studio. Mary, the yoga teacher is really good and she also runs a half day (?) session in conjunction with a Goddess Playshop (mind/spirit stuff) that I am hoping she runs soon again as I missed the last one as I was away.
I am not sure what effect laps have on hormone levels as I haven't had one. Best of luck for Thursday

Porsche - I hope you are doing ok

Hello to anyone I have missed or who is just lurking.
