LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin ~ July 2008 until 2009

[BrusselsSprout]

I cant believe i missed your post with your fantastic news brussels. CONGRATULATIONS i hope everything goes perfect for you. And i agree when your not stressing about it, it seems to happen.

Lets hope there is more posts like yours in the very near future.

About bringing AF on, what did the Dr suggest for you to do? or did it involve taking medication?

Well, I think he was hoping that the met would bring it on...I was expecting one of the period inducing drugs that they always tell women to take...but strangely, he told me to just take two birth control pills a day for three days straight and my period would come...so a slightly easier method for those not getting prescribed a period inducing drug...I am not a doctor and not sure how this will affect different people, but for me that is what he said...He said not many people know about this system...and I am not sure if this is good for after MC...but that is what he told me.

Hi ladies,
Thankyou all for my big welcome.

Brussells - Congratulations

LSK - I will go to the chemist today to see what they have available and will ask for that one you mentioned.

Furustrated - I had huge abdominal pains yesterday, so bad i rang my FS and having a scan today to check that I am not overstimulating??? I have also been getting hot and cold flushes day and night....I am using 2 poas OPK kits a morning so far nothing but yesterday i had a faint second line as well as today but definately not a surge line yet.

Ellieanna - Try not to take too much clomid , only take what your doc has prescribed. My fs said it will not work any better by taking more and it can cause yourself more problems by over stimulatingyour ovaries and apparently that leads to more problems. I feel your pain about nnot having a child with your DH. I too do not have a child with my DH and it rips me apart that we lost our little one @ 3months and now are here on fertility treatment tyring to have our forever baby.I was a little like yourself and had 3 children very easily ( fortunately) but now my life has changed ( and my body) and it is so much harder as you said. Please be positive hun i do understand it is hard.

AFM: My FS suggested I must BD on cycle day 13 which is today but I can't work it out as I am not 'o' yet or what is looking like'o'ing anytime soon. I am going to ask about the metformin today. Having a ultrasound today so I am hoping that will give me some answers about if the clomid is or has worked.
Will post later with my results.

Take care ,
Em

Hi Girls!

I just got back from my doctor's office...he cannot track the exact day of my ovulation, but he says it was between the 24 of March and the 2nd of April...he says later it will be easier to tell the exact age of bub...

I saw baby today and a good heartbeat. The doctor said everything looks good but he would like to keep me under watch every two weeks...so I go back in two weeks. He estimated the pregnancy at 5w5d...

My husband was sort of amazed...I think it really sunk in for him today. He seemed in awe.

So anyway, just filling you girls in and praying for everything to go well for the next few weeks...and hoping you all get good news very soon!

xoxo

Hi Girls,

I'm new to this thread but thought i'd better "jump in" as my long awaited AF turned up this morning FINALLY (35 day cycle for me this last time round, for the last 8 months it's been ranging from 27 - 39 days... So Frustrating).
So long story short I'll be starting my 1st Clomid cycle on Day 3 going thru to 7 and quite frankly I'm Pumped about the whole thing.... It's been a long journey to actually get to a point where i now feel like i have a little control over this TTC journey...
So yeah, cycle day 3 Start Clomid, Cycle day 9 have a HSG Xray (which can't say i'm looking forward to), day 13 start DTD like crazy until cycle day 25 (that's alot of BD'ing)...
So, just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi, hope everyone is having good cycles and the drugs aren't being cruel!

Does anyone know how the Clomid interacts with alcohol, (have girls night out on first day of tab taking, not sure if a couple of drinks is okay or not)!

Good luck to everyone, and Tammara, looks like me and you are on the same cycle, will be good to have a buddy, good luck.
