LTTTC and Taking Clomid/Metformin # 8

Hi Ladies,

This is all foreign to me...can I just invite myself into thie thread? :confused:

Just completed my first round on Clomid 50mg, currently enduring the TWW with AF due this Sunday :o So nerve wracking!

Hi Peachey,
Just didn't take to kindly to it this round didn't feel so great headaches and sickly feeling.. but finished it now. Went to FS this morning for a CD12 ultra sound he said looks good (he always says that!) This time I asked why and he said there is a nice size follie sitting there. He gave me a trigger so here's hoping! I am on 50mg. Next Tuesday having a bt so by Thursday I will know.
How are you going?

Hi Buffy1 and Rosey! Welcome :)
Buffy1 I have just completed round 2 of clomid and having a BT next week so I will find out then about the levels... Fingers crossed for you! Let us know how you go.

Rosey, how are you feeling after your first round? It is so nerve wrecking isn't it! by the end of this week I will be doing the same thing.

Hope everyone else is doing well.
Take care lovely ladies

Hi MrsA,

Thats a bummer you felt ill! Fingers crossed that you get a :bfp: this cycle

I was only emotional thankfully (well as thankfull as you can get considering your a blubbering or screaming mess lol!).

I feel ok after the first round, will soon know on Sunday when AF is do for her visit. I was feeling symptoms of early pregnancy but that is all gone now, think it was all in my hopefull head or side effects from the clomid or AF coming!

Has anyone else has early pregnancy like symptoms when taking Clomid? What do you all do to survive the TWW?

Hi Gals and and to you newbies to the thread!

So I was pleasantly surprised AF rocked up after 34 days instead of the 77 like last cycle, so even though the clomid didn't make me ovulate at least it shortened my cycle.

So I am cycle day 7 and took my last clomid pill today. Im now on 50mg so hopefully that will be enough!!

Hi to my gals... Hope your all going well. Xox

Just came in to share some :babydust: :babydust: :babydust:

Hoping to see some very sticky :bfp: here very soon...

Thanks very much for your reply Mrs A, and hi to the other ladies - Rosey, Razzbery, Peachey, AndieE...lovely to "meet" you.

I'm having another BT tomorrow to see how estrogen and LH is going; meanwhile the BD continues (poor DH!). I also have mega pre-ovulation pain on both sides, usually it's just the right. Two eggs on the way methinks. SuperOvulation - I feel as though I need a cape of some kind :)

Razzberry - YAH for shorter cycles! My fingers are crossed for you!


Hi Buff1...lovely to "meet" you too. Your post about the cape made me LOL! I also think you need a sound track playing while you wear that cape...maybe a bit of "dah da da dahhhh"! Good luck with this cycle..may it be the one for you :p

Hi Girls, I'm feeling a little bit anxious/upset at the moment. I did post something seperatly about it. Has anyone had a laprascopy whilst on Clomid just to check for any blockages etc? Has your Dr suggested you have one?

Hi Peachey - sorry you're feeling anxious. Did your doc give you some more background on the procedure?

I had a lap, hysteroscopy, tubes flushed and d&c this month before starting Clomid. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. It's not the most fun I've ever had, but it's not as scary as it seems. Apparently we're more fertile for a few months after these procedures, so there's an upside!

Having it done while on Clomid shouldn't be an issue, especially if it's planned for the first part of your cycle. Doc may want to do it as you said, to check for blockages so they know those super-charged eggs are getting through.

Please sing out if you want more info on my experience....

Thanks Buffy. This will explain it:

:stickyvibesgirl:Hi Ladies hope everyone is doing well.

Peachey, I have had 5 laps, and a hystro done in the past, i wasn't on clomid then but I have also had the "flush out" of tubes three times twice with dye and once with saline and d&c's so please let me know if you have any questions. Like Buffy Said not the best fun in the world but if you can get the flushing done when you get the lap done it will be heaps easier as I got 2 of mine done whilst just sitting there so take the opportuninty to get it under whilst you are "sleeping". Good Luck!

AFM- well went back to the FS on Tuesday 1 follie there, had a trigger injection, and today is day 14 should be o'ing but who knows. Having a BT next Tuesday so fingers crossed. So not sure what the plan is for next month. But feeling awful today, went to a funeral..... and someone there who hadn't seen me for a very very long time, says "oh you married? got kids yet or you just not going to bother with them"!! HELLO! Who says that! That upset me so much and DH wasn't there as he is sick and couldnt attend. I understand people asking about when are you going to have kids but I don't get the or "arent you bothering"??? Sorry about the rant! Just make me so angry.

Hope everyone else is going well :stickyvibesgirl:

Peachy, have replied in your other thread and completely agree with MrsA. Trust your instincts - hope you get some answers soon.

MrsA, do you get any other signs that might point to O? The waiting sucks, doesn't it? Best of luck for your BT next week. Don't even think about next month yet, just focus on where you're at now. My philosophy is one day at a time. So sorry about the funeral, they're always horrible. Some people have no boundaries/sense of privacy. Since when is it ok to ask someone about family planning??? Most of my older relatives are like that.

Evening to the other ladies:hello: how are you travelling?

AFM: had another BT at CD 14, estrogen and LH on the way down and progesterone on the way up, so I definitely ovulated. Actually, I'm pretty sure I felt it at 2:40 this morning when I woke up with the worst stabbing pain I've ever had. Thank you Clomid. Still feel really bloated and tender. Did anyone else experience this? The TWW begins, again. I'm not having CD 21 BT - just wait and see.

Kinda relieved we can have a little rest from all the BD :dance:

Hi Buffy1,

I know tell me about it, the last time I saw this person was 20 years ago! People just think they have the right to do what they like.
Well I have had stabbing pains in my right side and haven't felt great today, according to the maybe baby o saliva kit I am o'ing but apparently clomid can throw you out. BUT my DH is sick so there has been bo BD'ing lately so unless he gets better by tomorrow I think we will miss the boat this month.....

Good news about you BT, and good luck with you TWW hope in 14 days we get some sticky news from you xx

Take care off to bed ladies have a good night

MrsA, how you doing? Are you getting a BT tomorrow? Just wanted to wish you luck for the results.

Everyone else going ok? Peachey, did you decide to see someone else about lap etc?

AFM: 4DPO but no news here. Except my moods are crazy, have been alternating between cranky and really down/sad. Very unlike me, even with PMS. Is it a Clomid side effect, even a couple of weeks after it has left my system?

Sneaking in ...

Buffy... It may be a side effect of the clomid still. I was only experiencing side effects whilst on the pills... I hope that it's not PMS for you instead I hope it's those pg hormones ramping up... Hoping that you get your bfp. Xx


Hi to everyone else. Hope you all get your bfps very soon x

Hi Ladies,

Well what a day ive had... :( Buffy1 thank you I did have my BT today, but what a nightmare, couldn't find the right clinic then when to 3 different ones because they all had a long wait.. then forgot my medicare card at home! But finally got it done. I have also been feeling really down and angry I didn't even think about it being more clomid effects but who knows it could be fingers crossed it is! I have been so angry lately and sad all I want to do is cry. I am cd 19 today so techincally 5 days or so passed ov but who knows, only the BT will tell me.

How is everyone else going??
Take ladies xx

Hiya Peachey, I also read your other thread and totally agree seek another opoion doesn't make much sense to do all this if ov'ing or lack of isn't the problem.

MrsA, what a day is right! Grrrrrrrrrr, you must have been so frustrated. Glad you were able to get it done though. When do you get the results? Keep us posted. And I know exactly how you feel - did a bit of research last night (thank you, Dr Google) and what we are feeling is definitely due to the Clomid. Oh yeah, and the stress of constant blood tests and monitoring! I hope it eases a bit for you soon - if not, we can rant and rave to each other :) sounds like we are at the same point in our cycles too.

LysnDan, thanks very much for your advice. Yes, fingers crossed!

How are the other ladies doing?

AFM: nothing to report; the snap-monster continues to wreck havoc though. Poor DH.

Hi Buffy,
Oh good at least I know I am going mad! well... maybe.. lol but thats ok, yep it does sound like we are at the same time. Apparently I can call on Thursday to get the results but don't like my chances of them being ready. You are right though if I have to remember one more blood test or appointment I'll go mad, and it makes it worst that my SIL is due to give birth at the end of month and I think its really playing on my mind. So we will be doing pg testing at the same time, I hope you get a BFP! and a BFP for the rest of you ladies At least I haven't cried today thats something I guess!! and to top it all off I have my 7 year old step daughter down this week for school holidays and cheeky doesn't being to explain it... bring on the weekend!
Take care ladies

Hi Ladies,

I have only just joined this thread, but I am now leaving it – I got my long awaited BFP (I am s*#t scared though)!

If someone had told me only 5 weeks ago that anything was possible and to think positively I would have throttled them, but I actually believe it now....... so I just wanted to wish you all the best and may you get those BFP you all deserve! May this long journey end for you soon, followed by a happy and health pregnancy!

Good Luck.

xoxo

Go everyone. Dh and I have been ttc for 14 mths and most months I have not ovulated so I am starting clomid as soon as my new cycle starts inthe next cpl of days. I have all the instructions but could do with the help of some ladies who have been through it. Ty

DDB- :hug: I had alot of annovulatory cycles after my miscarriages which is why i used clomid. I took mine in the mornings days 2-6....i didn't have any side effects apart from major mood swings lol. Alot of girls take them at night, it's really personal preference. I fell on my 3rd cycle :D There is hope.
Wishing you all the best on your TTC journey :D xxxxxxx

Congrats again Rosey!

I see my buddy DDB xxx

I am here buffy. Light flow tonight so she will be here tomorow. Bring on clomid lol.

Hi girls cycle day 17 for me and I think I may have layed an egg last night! lol - had terrible pain on one side so heres hoping! The symptoms I have had this month are sleeplessness and extreme bloating!

Rosey - Congratulations!!! such great news!

Daydream believer - Welcome, I hope clomid does the trick for you!

Mrs A - Hoping this is your month!

Buffy1 - I hear ya on the snap-monster!

Peachey - I have had 2 laparoscopys but it was before I was on clomid. The doc found and removed endometriosis. Try not to be too scared about it. It wasn't too painful and is fairly quick surgery. I was back at work in 4 days.

Yas and Lysndan - thanks for dropping in!!

Hi everyone, I am really scared of starting the clomid. I have no idea what it will do to my body. Hopefully make me pop an eggy but I guess I never saw myself needing it.

Don't be scared! If I can do it, you can do it. It's true that there could be side effects, but they just mean that Clomid is doing its job.

Talk to your health professional if you have any questions at all hon, that's what they're there for...and of course you can always talk to us...

Hang in there, this is a positive and exciting next step xxx

TY buffy, u r always the voice of reason. :)

Just wanted to pop in and wish everybody good luck :D Gosh, I think it's all new girls in here too.

DaydreamBeliever, you will be fine. I was scared too, but I'm still alive! The only side effects I had were strong pains at O time, but they lessened with every cycle. And hot flashes with sweating (at night). DH thinks I was a b*tch, but I don't think I was any different. DH always thinks that lol.

Babydust and good luck to all of you xx

Tasha, ty for the advice, DH thinks I am a ***** most of the time anyway and I am lol.

Hi ladies hope everyone is well and welcome to the new ladies. Well it's been an interesting week. BT results says ovulation but a BFN today as AF arrived. Does any one have shorted cycles taking clomid?? The FS wants to see me this week to discuss "the next step" but I have e no idea what that means.
Rosey congrats!!! Daydream u will be fine I was the same three months ago. I hope every one is well and baby dust to u all xx

feeling quite down. BT showed no ovulation, so will be having another test in a week in case i ovulated late but otherwise its 2 tablets (100mg) next time for me :(

Hi beautiful girls, just popping in quickly as computer has carked it and I hate Tapatalk on my phone.

DDB, as I said in 12+ GOOD LUCK! Let us know how you feel after the first few tablets. Keeping everything crossed it brings on beautiful O for you.
Mrs A, so, so sorry about AF's unwelcome arrival. Yes, my cycle has been shorter. Hoping the FS will have a great action plan to discuss with you this week.
Razzberry, big hugs. That's such a bummer, no wonder you're down. Perhaps your egg is just a little shy and still on her way?? Otherwise upping the dose may be just the ticket. Thinking of you.

Catch you guys again soon.

Hi Ladies
Well I was 10 min late for my 8am app so the FS couldn't see me!! He had to be in surgery by 8.30 so rescheduled for 8pm tonight. So nervous haven't been able to think about anything else all day. It's almost 5.30pm and I'm already here didn't want to battle Melbourne city traffic only to be home for 10 mins! Anyway have to pick up DH at 7 so I'll just talk to you lovely ladies.
Enough about me
Razz hope u get some answers
Daydream best if luck fingers crossed for you.
Buffy1 how r u going???
I'll keep u posted!!
Take care chickies !!!

MrsA, that is so frustrating! But good you were able to re-schedule for tonight. Best of luck, hope you get an awesome plan of action. Keep us posted.

Hi everyone else, hope you're travelling well. Will catch up with you properly tomorrow xxx

Just a quick question. Can u drink alcohol (I am talking 3 standard drinks) while on clomid? Any feedback appreciated. I am so new to this.

I took my final clomid for the month today and not 1 side effect so far.

Hello ladies
Thanks buffy1 sorta good and bad news no more clomid for me now I'm on the gonal f injections until august if no BFP then it's onto IVF :( but I guess we do what we have to!
How are you going? DDB that is awesome let's up it's a good sign and you get your BFP this month.
How is everyone else doing?
Take care and baby bust to you all

Oh DDB I think drinking three standard drinks is ok. I'm sue I read it some where but maybe it's worth a google search :)

Hi MrsA-CD 12 here today and I am starting to get the cramps that say eggies are getting ready. I may have a drink I may not. I don't want to risk anything.

FX for your Gonal F so you don't have to go on ivf.

Hi Girls, well looks like I should have more faith in myself! I ovulated on day 21! so now have a few more days to wait till I test. However I dont have any pregnancy symptoms so not hopeful. I see my gyno next week but he said when I spoke to him on the phgone yesterday to take 2 tablets (100mgs) next cycle as it may make me ovulate earlier in my cycle.

Daydream - Hoping your eggie is getting ready!!!!

Mrs A - hope you dont need the IVF!

Buffy - Hope all is well with you and bubs!
