TTC & Taking Clomid &/0r Metformin ~ Nov/Dec 2007

[dcm]

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a great Xmas and enjoyed your New Years Eve!!

TwoMums: Thanks for your welcome. Not long now till Feb comes around and your back on the TTC journey. Enjoy January!!

Kristen160: Your cycle sounds v. similar to mine! I O around cd17 and was due for AF New years Eve but she reared her ugly head on New Years Day
I was on my first cycle of Clomid last cycle. I took it from day 2-6. Not sure of my FS reasoning on this?? I then had an int/us on day 11 to see what follicles had matured (which was only 1) and then had my trigger injection the following day to stimulate O. I then went back to him again on cd19 (as cd21 landed on Xmas time when they were to be closed) and had bloods done. He rang me the next day to let me know that bloods came back showing that I had O and my hormone levels were exc! It was all good news for us at this time. When AF arrived I was devastated and so was my FS when he rang me yesterday when I told him I had bad news for him. Oh well, we will just try again! This cycle I'm having the monitoring again from my FS on the days mentioned above Good luck with everything from your end! I hope this info helps you

To everyone else, wishing us all lots of for 2008

Hello ladies,

It has been sometime since I posted mainly due to Chrissy preparations. Hope you all had a fabulous festive season and New Year.

To update you, my last cycle (3rd) finished with AF arriving on New Years early morning .... blah. Very disappointed. Whilst on clomid for 3 months, my emotions were fairly stable, I think because I knew I was on something that was hopefully going to get me past the line. With my clomid cycle now completed and being no further advanced, my emotional state is starting to wane again.

We have FS appointment next week to discuss our next course of action, either IUI or IVF. DF and I have not come to an agreement as yet on which avenue we should pursue. I haven't read many success stories with IUI. Has anyone got or know of any success stories with this procedure or how many cycles are recommended?

Kristen160: When I was on my first cycle of clomid, my FS only performed a ultrasound to check follicle size etc. I was not asked to come in for US on my second and third cycles, only to have the bloods.

Wishing everybody the best and hope it's great in 2008 for all of us!
