    Good luck hun

    I got my letter from my gyno with my BT results. I thought it was going to say that I didn't O - But I got a letter saying 'Your progesterone levels came back at 24. This confirms ovulation but is not adequate but has occurred. Please make an earlier appointment to see me'
    So at least I know I O'ed this cycle! But, is there any chance that I could perhaps have fallen pregnant with such low levels?

    Hi girls, sorry I have been MIA, I have been reading but since I am day 69 of my cycle, I don't really have anything to write except FRUSTRATION! I had terrible pain last Tuesday which I think could have been ovulation but I was too scared to DTD in case I fell pregnant but miscarried cause I can't imagine my uterus would be much good with so much lining being so late in my cycle! My appoint with the gyno is on Tuesday (day 72) so at least we can make a plan and hopefully start the clomid again soon.

    Does anyone know what an average length of cycle is for someone with pcos?

    DD - I am not sure about the levels? I think mine was around 30 with Ella at my day 21 blood test but I could be wrong, I am sure I remember my gyno saying it needed to be over 15?? Hope you can talk to your gyn soon to get more answers - Maybe you will be put on clomid too? I was just looking at your ticker and noticed your day 33 but only 12dpo, so that would effect your levels too if you ovulated later than day 14 in your cycle, so of course having the blood test on day 21 wouldn't be a true indicator?/

    Lysndan - you are the opposite to me with having such a short cycle - Why cant my cycles be shorter and yours be longer!!! Hope clomid is successful for you this cycle.

    Mum2 - gluck - hope you caught the eggie!

    Tasha - fingers crossed!

    Rai - Im not sure about what the levels mean, but I hope using a cream might help you!

    Nothing to lose - Hope you get a sticky egg, going through IVF must be very hard

    Minni - how are you going??

    baby dust to all!!!

    erybery - He did talk bout putting me on Clomid if I didn't fall pg before my next appt which was going to be at the end of July. He was giving me 4 months of trying, then we were going to look into Clomid. Maybe he wants me to start on it earlier? I actually had the BT on CD28 which was 7DPO. I was told those tests were made for 7DPO and that's when I had it.

    Hahaha thanks ladies
    Wondering if anyone would really notice it.

    I'm not announcing anything just yet though. Waiting for first scan, and to hit at least the 10 week mark. I might change my ticker to an age ticker for William until the 10wk mark

    Hey gals!

    This is cycle number 2 on clomid. day 2 of taking these pills...

    I have decided to go for the blood test monitoring so my doctor has 2 cycles recorded. Seeing as my cycles are only lasting 25 days at the most! (I'm pretty sure it's from the Chem preg)

    Anyway I broke down on the phone to dh yesterday and have decided this is going to be our last cycle on clomid for a while. Giving our body's a rest from ttc. (well not trying but not preventing either...the NTNP approach to TTC)

    So we shall wait and see how This cycle goes and if not successful we will just keep plotting along but I won't be temping or monitoring loads of opks or anything! Just dtd when we feel like it!

    Anyways I'd best be off. Getting teary writing this...

    Congrats darkdreamer!



    Afm- spoke to hubby again and he's going to support whatever I would like to do.

    My gp will only allow us to do 3 cycles of clomid under her care. The rest is up to an obgyn. I've had a referral sent through but dh needs to go for a SA before the obgyn! Hmmm it's like getting blood from a stone! Men!!

    Hi girls,

    just checking in and to let you know I saw my gyn last night. He could see on the ultrasound that I had ovulated a week ago (which was why I had so much pain last tues) so that was day 65!!! so I should get AF in another week and then I am going to take 1/2 clomid tablet 25mg. He said even though I did finally ovulate given the length of my cycle clomid is still the way to go. I was on a full tablet when I fell with my DD, but am happy to start off on half of that to ease the risk of twins. So hopefully AF will come soon so I can start taking it again!!!

    M2OSB- Hun give it a day or two test with fmu on a non digital test. The digital ones take a little longer, as they aren't that sensitive it's not over till af rears her ugly head. (keeping my fx for you babe!)

    BAL- how are you going sweetie? Big hugs to you and bubba! how are you feeling? Your in the same group I would have been in if my bubba was a sticky one! Say hi to the girls for me xx keep us updated

    Afm- blood tests start tomorrow @ cd7! And getting lots of creamy cm?!? Good thing dh is home tomorrow. My opk wasn't positive (there was a line, but wasn't anything compared to control line!) so i should have heaps of time before o! Naturally! Haha another 5/7 days yet!!?

    Anyways hugs to all you beautiful girls xox
