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

[AJC]

Hi Everyone

I've tried to read back through the threads to hear all of your stories, am sure I will get to know you all really soon.

I am starting clomid next cycle. I last saw my doc on 8 Jan (follow up app after m/c investigations) and he gave me a script for clomid and the 21 day prog bt form and said if I wasn't pg by easter to commence treatment.

Firstly - he said easter, I estimate that af will arrive on Tue 18 Mar, 3 days before Good Friday so I guess that is close enough to easter - would you start then too or would you wait until the next cycle after easter? He is starting me on 50mg taken am from day 2-6. No mention of scans.

I am taking it for a few reasons, firstly unexplained infertility. I've had 2 x unexplained m/c since Sep 06 and my luteal phase is more often than not a little short (around 11 - 12 days).

I guess I am just here for a bit of reassurance. I have complete faith in my doc, he's been so wonderful & supportive - I'm just keen to hear some first hand advice I guess. I usually hang out in the TTCAML thread and I find great comfort in sharing this journey with people who do know how you feel and what you're going through.

Well after being in this thread for a v short time, I am going to move on. I didn't even get a chance to start my first cycle of clomid. Had the tablets at home, waiting for day 5, (and feeling v pleased will all the encouragement from all gals on here); and I get a call from my gyno saying they have also found my DH has abnormal sperm so we are being referred to IVF. First appointment I can get with is April 7th with Geoff Clarke in Melbourne. That was a week ago, at first I was in shock, now I am just a bit dazed. We will go along to get all the information but I am v. unsure and afraid about the IVF path.........

Good luck to you all on here, depending up the advice I receive in April, I may be back on here...

Welcome everyone new, I personally have been on the front line of infertility for 12 years, we have been blessed in that time with 3 adopted miracles that I love beyond words and prior to this I was blessed with a Miracle by birth he is now 13.
I had secondary infertility of unexplained reasons, well that is the story I was fed..........for years with my first FS, we stopped fertility treatments to adopt our 3 miracles, but recently I just couldn't shake the feeling that in my heart I wanted another birthbaby, its not that I love my adopted kids less, gosh they are my life, but I guess the feelings of infertility, just have never left me..........Well last year we decided to give it one last try, 2 operations and a precancerous treatment later and after only 2 cycles I am OVER JOYED to report I have a postive preg test today the day my period is due.............
I am trying to NOT get to over joyed, or ahead of myself, but its SOOOO hard not to be doing a happy dance right now .
I am praying like mad this is a sicker and keeper and true miracle growing stronger each day in my womb..........
Stay strong ladies, keep your chins up and remember miracles still happen here............Hugs Nicki
