TTC & Taking Clomid &/or Metformin ~ December 06

[Willow]

BW, I agree with Sarah. I think all of these fears will be discussed with your new FS and you need to remember that he is a specialist in this field - if any of your fears have a basis, he will know. He will also know how to work around your meds, your other medical conditions etc.

I do know what you are saying about these fears bubbling below the surface. I had them too after my first lap. I just KNEW that something was wrong, something that clomid wasn't going to fix. A girl doesn't go from having friends and family crack jokes about not looking at her husband unless she wants to fall prg, to weird cycles, spotting and 6 months down the track no where near pregnant!

That is why I changed Drs. I just felt like my gyno was brushing my concerns aside and was missing the big picture. He did mention the possibility of blocked tubes etc but didn't do any investigations. He just wrote me another script for clomid and said "see you in 3 months". :evil: If hadn't trusted my own instincts and found Dr Sacks, I'd still be in that 3 months, killing myself for something that was never going to happen on it's own.

Anyway, I guess what I am trying to say is to trust your instincts, but don't take that to mean that your fears will be realised. It just means that you've taken the best step possible in going to see this FS.

And Sarah is right, we all have that fear of losing a baby. It is probably worse for me because I lost my last baby, so I know it CAN happen to me. It's not just something that happens to other people. I often think what if I go through all of this, IVF, the whole bit and then lose another baby? But we just need to pray that won't happen and continue forward. Otherwise we will never hold that baby in our arms.

Hope you are feeling better sweetie. :hugs:

Kt - I'm sorry things have turned for the worse this cycle. We'll be sorry to see you go - but I'll see you over in the other AC thread before too long! December will probably be my last cycle on clomid and then hopefully I'll be getting ready for IVF so I won't be hanging around here with these lovelies much longer myself. Take care and make sure you pop in and let us know how you're going. I really hope this next cycle does the magic!
