TTC & Taking Clomid &/Or Metformin ~ Jan/Feb 2008

[TwoMums]

hey girls,

sorry been so busy with work and my new scooter... nothing is happening... kim is now 9dpo and is having zero symptoms... complete opposite to last cycle. She had that sicky feeling by day 9 and tired and also very sore boobs etc, but alas BFN... This time she feels completely normal... no sore boobs, not tired and not sick. Be interesting to see what happens. She normally gets AF on 12 days post IUI so if there is no AF on 12 dpiui we will test on 13 dpiui... hope everyone else in the tww is hangin in there...

AJC - Sorry that witch showed up, good on you for being proactive about it tho...

MelA - We got a BFN on day 12 and a BFP on day 14 the time Kim got pregnant...fingers crossed big time for you!!

DrGirl72 - Hows the clomid treating you this cycle??

[Mel A]

Still waiting........... This is the longest TWW I've ever had. Temp stayed up again so still good news.

OK, I need a vote do i go and get a blood test? (to put me out of my misery)
Or do i wait till i get a BFP when I POAS?

Also can the bloods come back negative this early?

Everything my body is doing tells me i'm pregnant. I'm 98% sure, it is just the HPT that keep comming back negative that are making me unsure.

your thoughts

Mel - oh the agony. I hope that second line starts appearing very soon. A blood test will show up a positive this early so if you need that to put you out of your misery then get one done. With high temps it is still sounding very promising despite the stupid pee sticks saying No. Good luck - sending lots of positive vibes your way.

Twomums - Good luck for this cycle.

Docgirl - hope your temps are stable now.... good luck.

Thanks for the thoughts twomums and AJC. CD10 today, sore breasts/nipples and very hot at night...assuming these are clomid related. Temps still up and down, a bit odd, if it was clomid then would have thought BBT would have always been up rather than all over the place... fell free to have a squiz at my chart and comment. Saw my fertility accupuncturist today, she was puzzled by my temps and in the end thought it was prob clomid as there was no other explanation! Will start OPKs tomorrow and have USS next tuesday.

I'm not very good at the whole personals thing but to all of you.

Man this journey is frustrating - had ob appointment for this afternoon, been cancelled. Called out for c-section which I understand totally but GGGRRRRR - I'm already cd6 and still don't know what my response was to the first month - I already O on my own so my guess was that he wouldn't increase my dosage anyway but what if - this month could be a waste. Appointment rescheduled for Thu morn I get to this one.

Sorry - rant over.

Mel, two mums - how you doing?

Docgirl, temps look like they have stabalised a little over last 3 days. GL this month.

[Mel A]

Bugger!
Temp dropped this morning, and AF turned up, she isn't very heavy more spotting really but the cramps are here. So, i'm up to my eyeballs on Naprogesic and hotwater bottles.

It would seem i'll be with you all for another cycle. On to Clomid #10

and to all

[TwoMums]

Well we're out, Kim got AF after two neg HPT's on day 12 and 13 and straight after she tested on day 13 post IUI she got HER.... she normally gets them on day 12 so at least her LP was a day longer, although that got our hopes up...again. That was attempt no. 13.

Kim really wants to try again this month, if she does she would have to start the clomid tomorrow.... inseminate in 2 weeks (around 5th May) and we would be testing 2 weeks later (around 19th May).. If we got pregnant, we would get our 7 week viability ultrasound 3 weeks after that (around 9th June) and we would leave to go to Malta for 5 weeks 10 days after that (on the 19th June).

Thing is last time we didnt even get to 7 weeks without some spotting and ultimately lost the heartbeat at 8w (after seeing it twice at 6w6d and 7w3d).

If that were to happen again I would hate for it to happen while we are on holidays and also at Kim's sisters wedding and while overseas without our Dr.

So i guess I have just spelled out why we shouldn't try again until we get back from Malta on 24th July.

Guess we are now on a 3 month break. So in the meantime we are going to ring our dr and schedule a Laparoscopy to check for endometriosis and also check kims tubes with the dye test. But before that Kim needs to have CD3 bloods done to check her FSH levels. Thats never been done before either. She has been checked for ANA and ACA's because of the miscarriage. Is there anything else you guys can think of that we can check in this forced break??
