ETA: I had lots of creamy CM too!!! It sounds like your growing a baby!!!!

Very anxious hoping this one sticks.

Lysndan - Congratulations!!!!! I really hope this is a stickybub for you!!!!

Mrs A - I have no idea about injections sorry!

afm - I am day 14 of my cycle and have no symptoms of ovulation so don't think this cycle will be a success!!

I don't think this is a sticky. I've had af type cramps all day and have been spotting :(

Hi Ladies,

LynsDan wishing you luck and hope it sticks!!

Thanks erybery I did the injection when I woke up this morning. I dont have any CM as yet so I am hoping to get in the next few days, apparently it takes 36-48 hours to work. I am just about to go the pharmacy and buy a maybe baby O kit so I can test in the morning so DH might get lucky again tomorrow morning.

Sticky vibes to you all xx

Mrs A, when I used Ovidrel, my FS said to BD for the next four days straight to catch the egg.

Hope that helps! Best of luck with it :)

I brought a Maybebaby O kit on the weekend, and Sunday was cd14, but still no o or CM :( it has also now been 50 hours after the trigger injection and NOTHING! :doh:
Guess I just have to keep trying.

How is veryone else going?
Nothing2loose thanks for the info, we managed to get to it once but that was it :(

CONGRATS LYNS.

FX for a very sticky bubby. Keep us up to date

Well my fs appointment today and Im actually really nervous. After all this time I hope this dr will really do something right..... even though I still have to wait until 30 June for my last vax, I am hoping some bloods will be taken bewteen so by my next af (the one following the one Im waiting for) we can get something happening.

I am also really scared of Clomid. The side effects, I can be moody at the best of times so the side effects of clomid surely wont help that...... not to mention my history of panic attacks.

Hi MummyDuck,
I was exactly the same on all fronts nervous about the FS nervous about the Clomid. My first FS experience was quick literally waited for 45 min coz he was running late and in and out 5 mine. In regards to Clomid, I was scared also, and like you I am moody at the best of times when I have AF but you realise that if you do get ultra moody you know what its from and it sorts it self out, and after you finish it doesn't taking it, the sideeffects go away.
I went back on CD11 for an ultra sound and on CD14 which was saturday had a trigger injection and it was fine.
Take care and let us know what happens xx

Hi Ladies,
How is everyone going? Well today is 1dpo! Oh my its going to be a long 2 weeks. I justed pre seed last night and it certainly helped I think.

MummyDuck how did you go at you FS app? Lynsdan how are things going for you?
Hello to all you other lovely ladies.

Hey ladies. All is well here! Got my test results back and positive for pregnancy. The doc ordered the wrong test though so I don't have a hcg number. I suppose that's one less thing to stress over. I have an appt with my gp/obgyn on Monday morning!


Sent from my iPhone (via Tapatalk) so please forgive the spelling mistakes...

YAY LYNSDAN, i am soooooo happy for you :leap: Just try and relax (don't hit me!) and enjoy those 2 little lines babe :hug: Have you made it past AF due date? That was my first goal! Lots of love xxx

Good luck to all you ladies in the clomid thread, i so hope that BFP appears soon xx

Ohhhhh lynsdan i forgot to add.....your due on my DS birthday! lol, im taking that as a sign that everythings going to be fine! BAL is due on the day i concieved this bub....isn't that weird? xx

MrsA: I was soooooo happy with my fs!! I dont see her again until August though :(

In the meantime I have to have weekly bloods, a GTT (with 7 other tests) a HSG (dye/xray test) and another Ultrasound for my cyst. DH has to have a count/anomoly test.

So glad I will get some answers

LynsDan that is awesome news... I am now in my 2WW so I am a little nervous but fingers crossed.
MummyDuck that is awesome, just be aware that those dye ultrasounds a little uncomfortable but should all be fine for you.
Thats why my first FS app only went for 5 mins coz I had those tests done already.
Take care ladies and hopefully in two weeks I will have my BFP... although not holding me breath xx

:hello:Hello Ladies, it has been a bit quite in there lately, how is everyone?
Well I have 5 more sleeps until I can test. I almost brought one on the weekend but couldn't find the one you can test 4 or 5 days before AF is due. Does anyone know what they are called and where to get them?
Take Care

Mrs A- GL hun, i have my fingers and toes crossed for you! First response is the best most reliable test iv'e found. I got a BFP at 9dpo (twice) :D xxxx

Hi Yas,
I did go and buy that the 3 pkt infact, but i got a BFN!! But not suprised! I will try again tomorrow.
Thanks! I will keep you posted :)

Mrs A- BOO to the BFN! I hope that changes for you hun. xxxxxxxx I'll be stalking :D

Mrs a- I hope it's just too early for you to test. Fx you get your bfp in the next few days. Are you testing with frer tests!? They're awesome!

Hi to everyone else. Is everyone else testing??? :)


Sent from my iPhone (via Tapatalk) so please forgive the spelling mistakes...

Hi Yas and LynsDan and thanks Hi everyone else :)
I tested again this morning and BFN but it might still be early. I hope so, but that is OK because I didn't get my hopes up this month.
LynsDan, "Are you testing with frer tests!? I am not sure what frer tests are :( I am justing the first repsonse ones.
Oh well i'll give it a shoot next Monday a day after AF is due if I don't get it.
Hope everyone is well

Hey girls, sorry I've been MIA, been feeling a bit down. My progesterone level on day 21 was 5.6. My usual Ob/Gyn was away so I just got to speak to the fill in doc so I have to wait till next week to talk to my usual one and get some more info. The fill in guy told me that it shows a bit of a rise so I may have ovulated but the levels being so low will mean my body wouldnt be able to sustain the pregnancy if I am pregnant, but I probably havent ovulate so will need to have the dosage doubled next cycle! So now Ive just gotta wait to see what my specialist says when he gets back, I hope he doesn't make me wait till the end of this cycle to start again - last time it was 77 days!!

Hi girls.

Just a bit of a boooooooo.

Have to have a Gtt to check for diabetes (pcos) and at the women's.

They request you wait your 2 hours in the waiting room. Surrounded by pregnant women. I wanna cry :(

Hi MummyDuck,
I understand how you feel... In fact I am off to my SIL baby shower this Sunday so I can't wait :( But I hope your results work out well for you.
erybery, Hope you are feeling a bit better today fingerscorssed for you.

Hello everyone else hope you are well going well.
Well today I got AF, so starting another round of Clomid on cd5 and on cd12 off to the FS for an ultra sound.
Take Care

6 weeks to go till I start on a new treatment....... Forever away.

I have my hsg test Thursday and worried about it now.

I was up last night with the most crippling af pain even after taking naprogesic. Last time it was this bad it was 2006 I was in London and I was hospitalized. I got back home and had to have surgery. Not a good sign at all.

This cycle was 42 days :(

Ultrasound in 2 weeks but in the meantime I'll have to go to my gp because I cant do another af the same as last night.

Mrs a how was your baby shower??


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey MummyDuck,

I understand exactly what you mean about af pain my DH and my bro almost took me to hospital last night coz of how much af pain I had. Had to take panadine forte and try and sleep it of.

The baby shower was OK because it started at 2 most people didn't turn up until 2.40 in the time I was keeping my niece and step daughter occupied and then by 3 we had to go to the airport which was awesome lol! I am on CD 3 and in 2 days time I start clomid again.
When do you get the test results?
I hope it all works for you.

Im just having some cammimile tea and hopefully off to bed.
Take care ladies xx

Hi there

Im hoping its ok for me to jump in here and ask a question....

I started my new cycle on 2nd June (this is, well meant to be my first IUI cycle) starting taking my clomid day 2-6, had my first u/s and bloods on tuesday 14th. Follie on left was 14mm and follie on right was 10.7.
I was told to come back for another scan friday 17th for possible IUI on saturday (CD17). Left follie was still 14mm but right one was 15mm. They called me on friday arvo to say that I will need a repeat blood test this morning (monday - CD19) and possible IUI on wednesday - but I have just called and have been told to repeat the blood test on friday, and depending on what they say, I will most probably have a consult on monday to discuss what to do next cycle.....

That to me sounds like my FS doesnt think I am going to ovulate :(
This is only my second cycle on clomid, over 3 months (skipped the cycle in the middle due to personal/money issues) and I take 100mg - 2 tabs a night.

Has anyone else ever had slow growing follicles or their hormone levels just wont rise?
The last 4 cycles I have ovulated on day CD22, and CD22 is this wednesday, but if he is making me wait till friday CD24 am I running the risk of missing it all together?
I feel useless right now.

help!

Mummyduck - what a long wait for you, I hate waiting for anything - especially a baby!! I know about AF pain, I have had endo removed before and I still get bad pain. When I ovulate its also awful pain too :(

Mrs A - Gluck for starting your new clomid pills!!

AFM - Finally spoke to gyno and he said to have another blood test to check progesterone and if its low again then I can take the pill for 7 days (twice a day) then stop it because that will bring on AF and then I can start the clomid again on 50mgs.

Hi gals - about time I jumped into this thread as I've occasionally been peeking in for a week or so.

My story so far - I took Clomid back in '07 and conceived DS1 on the second cycle of it. We then conceived DS2 spontaneously.
We decided a few months ago we'd try for a third, but AF only arrived in Jan (13 months after DS2), and it's been really up the putt. Long cycles, probably anovulatory. So ObGyn put me onto Clomid, particularly given my age (39 in Dec).

This is my first cycle on Clomid since '07 - and I'm finding it quite different from four years ago. Back then I had strong pains and I ovulated on Day 14 or 15. I also was with a FS, so had oodles of blood tests and pretty well knew what what happening with my body. Under the care of the ObGyn, I'm only having a blood test on CD21 - I feel very "in the dark" in terms of ovulation approaching (or not).

This time round, I've had no "symptoms" and I'm up to CD16 (today) with no sign of ovulation ... though tonight I've started to get CM. So hoping it might lead to something :crossfingers:.

A question ... do you "always" ovulate on or near Day 14?

Hi AndiE,

I am taking my second round of Clomid start tonight and last month I had an ultra sound ond CD11 it showed to follies, but as I never get CM i was relying on a O Kit which I think didnt' really work.... But according to the kit I o'ed on day 20 so I think it really depends other times I haved o'ed on day 10, right up until day 23 so I think it just depends. I am under an FS so he just tells me "oh yeah there are 2 follies take this trigger injection" and thats about it. I am actually thinking about not bothering with the clomid this month coz all did last month was give me hives lol!
Good Luck xx

Hi Ladies,

Is it OK if I jump in here?? I feel like a new kid at school :lol:

I'm currently on Clomid. I'll be starting my third round next month, having failed the last two. Hoping and praying. Also on Metformin have been on it for three years now.

:D

Hi Peachy,
Welcome! I just finished my second round took the last one today. Not sure if I even want to have another round! This one wasnt so good. Best of luck to you!
How is everyone else going??

Hi all,

Sorry to hear things didn't go so well MrsA - wishing you all the best if you do decide to go another round.
Hoping your third round does the trick Peachy.

I had my day 21 BT today - I'm not expecting to hear that I did ovulate. I tested with OPKs for seven days from Day 14, but no positive result eventuated (though I'm mindful OPKs aren't necessarily the be-all and end-all of determining ovulation). Guess all will be revealed when I call the ObGyn Monday! If not, then I presume I'll be put up to 100mg Clomid (currently 50mg).

That's no good MrsA! What dosage were you on? What happened?

Good luck if you decide to go again.

Peachey

Hi lovely ladies, hope you don't mind if I poke my head in here to ask a quick question...

I'm on my first Clomid cycle (50mg) and today's CD 11 blood test has my estrogen levels over 2000. FS says high chance of twins. Kinda freaking out here!

Has anyone else had levels this high? Any past Clomid users, did you conceive twins with high E2? Or just the one bub? Also, what's the risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome and how will I recognize it?

This will all be beside the point if the cycle's a bust, but for now just trying to think calm thoughts!

Thanks in advance.
