Hi Girls,
I am not sure why but my post took like a week to show up, and then I saw that is was passed 5 times, so sorry! I went back to delete all my mulitple posts...I am new to the forum...I was not sure why it didn't post so over posted...lol.
Well, thanks everyone for the congratsLSK, I got a BFP last week - but my announcement showed up sort of late (the post) so you might have read the forum before it showed up...if you go back a page it should be there.
Welcome to all the new girls! Tam, She will come - she is on her way!!!
For the met girls, take it seriously and you will not regret it...The side effects go away or lessen...I am 100% sure that is what did it for me. And my doctor has me continuing it until the end...not just the first three months. He told me that the met caused the ovulation to happen because the clomid did not work on it's own.
For now I am very relaxed. I actually don't feel like anything is going on...I have my first Eco tomorrow...so I guess it will be more real then. Even if this one does not stick, I am just really happy that I know something works! I am trying not to get too excited until I get to the 4th month. I realize that my journey is not over yet.
Thank god for this site.
I'll be back tomorrow with updates from the doctor's office.

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?

Inducing AF
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

Updates from the doctor's office!
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
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!

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
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.

hi everyone,
i am also new to this thread!
i am on a drug called femarra. it works to make you ovulate but a little differently to clomid. i have done 8 months of clomid in 2007 so FS is trying something new.
apparently clomid blocks the estrogen from working and femarra blocks the estrogen from being produced????
blah blah blah is what i think....i just wat it to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is my second month trying it. it did work last month but no BFP after an IUI.
i do happen to have two little embies on ice but am too scarred to use them.
DH and i have decided to do a few more IUI's and see if we can get lucky with them. if not then the embies are there for use. because of my age, FS always uses 2 at a time so it is only one go..
the clomid or clomiphene gave me a few bad symptoms but i get nothing on this new one. i don;t even know i have taken anything! yah..
so, i am probably going ot have another iui next week (lucky 7th!). i am on cd 5 and have taken tablets from days 3-7 just the same as clomid. i have acup booked for monday to help ovulation. i got buzzing ovaries last time so will keep it up for sure....
well let's hope we all get our BFP's together.
GL and let's get BD!!!!! hahahahahahha
michelle
Well i THInk i have ovulated.Usually i ovulate on day 14 or 15 WITHOUT clomid.Im at day 15 now and have been testing since day 10 or 11? I had a surge on the first day of testing which was too early so i ignored it.Kept on testing and had a surge yesterday (day 14) and my test showed a surge result today as well (day 15).it doesnt matter either way as hubby and i have it covered(know what i mean). I am using the urine test kits....not the saliva one which was frowned upon by my specialist.
I have been combing my clomid treatment with Conceive plus,Vitex agnus(premular) and Elevit.
Also and this is embarassing...can anyone let me in on the abbreviations.I dont understand some of them.....
