Hi all,

KellyD + Theresep - How is verything going your you guys?
I kind of lost contact with this new thread starting................. will I'm on my 4th and last cycle of Clomid (FS doubled my dose from 50mg to 100mg so will see if this helps). Then we are taking a break for a few months to see if I start O naturally. I think in my head I'm like....this is our last chance (being the last cycle using clomid) so putting lots of pressure on this cycle.

Hope all is well and welcome to all the new members to this thread.

Good luck

[Mel A]

Hi Kirsten 160 Good luck with your newest doasage. I'm on 100mg too. It helped me to O so i'll cross everything that it helps you too.

Hello Ladies

There are lots of newbies here since my last post, which was a few weeks ago.

Well after my cancelled cycle in Feb, I was patiently waiting for AF to start to commence my 5th try on clomid. On day 23 of cycle I started to spot and thought it would go away, but unfortunately here I am 10 days later and am still spotting. Rang FS yesterday and was advised that this month can't proceed (guessed as much) and am now waiting for the spotting to go away and then for AF to start again in April to hopefully have another try.

Although, if the spotting doesn't stop by next week I need to ring the FS again to see what the next step should be. I have been really frustrated as in the 5 mths that I have been taking clomid only 1 cycle proceeded with a BFN and I just turned that magical 35 which medically reduces the chances now the older I get.

Good luck to everyone on there journey.

Went to see my OB yesterday.
He gave me 1 pescrption for Primulot (to be used if AF doesn't turn up in next 45 days)
1 pescription, with 5 repeats for clomid (7 cycles worth) I'm on 100mg.
and 7, day 21 blood test referals.

He then said I could book in to see him in 7 months. Or I could be all optimistic and not book because I'd have to book in eairler when I get a BFP. (well he didn't say BFP but you get the drift)

So I'm crossing fingers for AF to turn up in the next 2-3 weeks, then we can start all over again.

Hi Kirsten160,
Even if you have no CM, comming out, If you ovulate your cervix will be secreting something even if it is only a little bit. It is harder to concieve without the CM, so give the swimmers a helping hand and use a sperm friendly lubricant, that will help with transfer and hopefuly get them close enough to be sucked in by the natural stuff.
I found that my first cycle on 100mg, was a fairly dry one, and after that everything went back into egg white mode.

cheers all

hey mel.
thats exactally what the doctor did to me..brought on my AF with meds and then clomid then bt etc. and now look.. good luck!!!

[Mel A]

Congratulations Holly, I'm crossing everthing that all goes well.

for those wondering, still no movement on the 12 egg whites. I think I might do HPT before I take the Primulot just to be sure.. Thats if AF doesn't turn up.

My body feels pretty normal, but then It felt normal through all ten of the previous BFP weeks. so who can be sure.

Mel: Praying for a BFP for you!!!!

Twomums: sounds positive!!! So as im a newy to iui, will they just inject sperm into her?? sorry if that sounded rude but im very curious!!

Kristen: hehe its weird writing that as it my name too!!!! but everyone calls me Krissy. Good luck with the 100mg!! i agreee go and get some sperm friendly lube just to be safe!!

Kristy: hope your well!!!

OK now for the news...went to FS on wenesday, DH results r worse and are chances of falling r low, cause me not Oing isnt enough!!!! He said we should up our health cover asap to cover IVF as we will need it Im so scarred nervous!!!! WE will continue on with the clomid, we r only allowed to use it for 6 cycles so we r going to try to fall ouselves for the next year and if still no bub then we will go with IVF....

Tryinglikecrazy, they insert a speculum, and they put a tiny cathether on the end of a syringe and suck up the washed sperm from the vial once it defrosts, and then they insert the tiny cathether into her cervix and push it right up into the uterus and squirt the sperm into the uterine cavity, so more or less the sperm is already travelling into the fallopian tubes before she even gets off the table...

So i guess they just squirt the sperm into her yeah LOL.... 2 days past IUI today....and counting....
