LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin ~ July 2008 until 2009

[~bonnie~]

hi erybery. Can I be your buddy? We're kinda going through the same thing at the same time: I have endo any maybe PCOS and it's my first month on clomid too. I didn't have any hot flushes or headaches though, I was just extra, extra moody and had sore/twingey ovaries while on the clomid. I O'd on CD15, nice and early and am 11 DPO now :-) keeping my fingers firmly crossed.

Good luck with the Clomid! I hope you don't have too many nasty side effects.

Hey Bonnie,
I'd love to be your buddy! I am only on day 5 of my cycle so still taking the clomid tablets at the moment. I ont think ive had any side effects. Ive been taking them just before I go to bed as Ive read that helps with missing the side effects, although I woke up really hot the first night so maybe it was a hot flush???
Can I ask why they think youve got PCOS? I had really long cycles, 76 days, then 60 then the next one I feel pregnant on what would hae been about a 28 day cycle and lost the baby, then after I had the D&C and waiting 10 weeks the gyn put me on the mini pill twice a day for 7 days to bing on AF which it finally arrived on monday!and not I take the clomid day 3-7 of this cycle!

Because of the endoI have been on the pill since I was 18 and I just skipped AF for months at a time so I wasnt in agony. I came off it the end of March and we have been TTC since then. After te really long cycles the doc did blood tests which showed high testosterone and other wacky hormone levels that indicated PCOS and then had an ultrasound that showed mulitiple follicles. So when they put it all together they said I most probably had PCOS even though Im not overweight or have Diabetes! Before I went on the pill Im sure i never had long cycles like now, its like PCOS has just decided to turn up in my twenties!

I really hope you get a BFP this month!!! I have to have a blood test on day 21 to check my progesterone to see if I have ovulated. How did you know you ovulated day 15?

Same! Very weird. I've been on the pill continuously since I was 20. Previous to endo being diagnosed at 20 I had fairly regular cycles, not too long. Of course I wasn't counting but they seemed pretty normal. Post continuous birth control pill they're not regular at all. But I think I'm ovulating each month and I do still get AF, so I guess I'm lucky in that sense.

Since coming off the pill they're anywhere from 28 - 38 days. Not a huge margin I admit, but still wacky and irregular ovulation and luteal phases. Also, my HyCoSy showed multiple small follicles so the FS I'm seeing said I'm borderline PCOS and ordered hormone BTs to check which I had this month. I get the results on monday so nothings confirmed yet, but PCOS is looking likely.

I think I O'd on day 15 as I'm charting and my temp shift would make that the most likely day. From my charts it looks like i am O'ing each month, but irregularly from day 14 - 24. When I showed my FS my charts he said "well no wonder you're not pregnant yet! There was no way you could have known when you were ovulating" lol

Well, that's me out this month. Spotting arrived today.

Fingers crossed for a BPF next cycle. Good Luck for this one Erybery!

bonnie - Im really sorry! I really hope you get your BFP next month! Did your Doc do a bloodtest on day 21 of your cycle?
Im currently on day 8 of my cycle so I finished taking the clomid last night. Now just gotta hope it works!

[~bonnie~]

Hi Erybery, Yes I did the 21 day BT. I get the results on Thursday when I have my next FS appointment.

Whilst I am very disappoint not to be UTD I am really pleased with my cycle last month: O'd on day 15, then had a 15 day luteal phase! Almost text-book

Yay for Clomid!
