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

[DrGirl72]

I agree twomums that the TWW seems to get harder in the last few days. Yeasterday (10 DPO) my temp dropped by 0.2 and I thought it was the slippery slope towards AF. Today my temp was exactly the same as yesterday (but taken an hour earlier). Now not sure whats goin on. FF says to test tomorrow but we've decided to try and wait until at least wed as I'd rather get AF than see another BFN. My longest ever LP has been 12 days and wed will be 12 DPO. Not sure if we should wait longer than that to POAS! I very much feel that I am nor pregnant this cycle and am considering hanging out for AF rather than testing........

Hi and to you all.

docgirl - GL and I hope your temp is back up again tomorrow.

Twomums - trip to Malta sounds great. Make sure you both relax and have a lovely time because I'm sure as soon as you get back you'll get your BFP. I agree, sometimes IUI would be 'easier' - When ob told DH and I that he recommends IVF if not pg in 2 more cycles I said to DH - oh well at least we won't have to bd when we don't really want to but 'have to'. Romance flew out of our window long ago

Mel - hope all is going well for you GL ! ! !

afm - well feeling frustrated today. I got +opk on Saturday but temp is only slowly rising. Now I am worried that taking B6 this month has affected things, or that my body is just not ready for pg yet. Have cd21 BT tomorrow so at least I'll know in a few days whether there is any hope for this cycle or not. Just don't understand why temp is rising so slowly. Ob did say that the body can build up a resistance to Clomid so my guess is that I'll be up to 100mg next month? That will be my 3rd cycle and second last before IVF/ICSI. **Sigh** no point complaining...... whatever it takes. So twomums I might see you in the IVF threads in a few months.

Good luck and sending lots of positive baby dust vibes to everyone.

Hello to everyone!

Hope you don't mind if i join in here????? I'm a new member but have been visiting these forums for a while! I have been posting in the TTC Buddies thread but i think this is where i best fit

Just quickly: We have been TTC for about 18months+. Had U/S and HSG in Jan -diagnosed PCOS. Currently on Metformin. I had a lap done 11/4 - remmoved a dermoid mass from left ovary did the ovarian drilling and D + C. I'm due to see the FS on Friday to more than likely commence first round of clomid.
Have been having really bad emotional ups and downs over the past week - crying over nothing - my poor DH thinks i'm going crazy, in fact sometimes I think i'm going crazy !! So i'm rather scared if this is how i am now before even starting the clomid! I think i might start accupuncture next week?

Anyway i am loving this site and i find i spend more time on the computer now than i have ever in my life!

Looking forward to sharing the journey with you all - hoping it's a short one though!

Lots of positive thoughts coming to you all

(Currently trying to catch up on all your individual stories while working night shift!)

Welcome Bella - sorry to hear that you've experienced so many ups and downs with your ttc journey but it sounds like you're on track for a BFP very soon. Good luck for your appointment on Friday.

Welcome Bella
AJC - Cross fingers that your BT Comes back + for O, and that temp rise is just you body being really preapared. getting everything into place.

drGirl72 - sorry to see that AF turned up.

Twomums - Good luck on the 15th to you and kim.


Me - all i can say is AM, PM, day off! AM, PM, day off! AM, PM, day off! It's like a little song. Any hoo, I'm surrounded by newborns or friends that are pgt. the is the count is
Newborns.
2 about 2 months old.
1 born yesterday.
= 3 babies.

Pgt.
1 Sister.
5 Firends. (one of the told me on Sunday that she was Pgt. she was on the pill but one
still got through)
= 6 pgt friends

I'm happy for them, but it is getting a bit rediculous, how much more can the universe rub my nose it it. Cross finger this is my month. Also I'm planning to go to perth in June to see my sister (28 weeks pgt) I don't want to miss seeing her wil the belly.

MMMWWWAAAA! to all.

Aww Mel - sounds like you need a . I really really hope it's your turn next - I do agree with you, although you are happy for them you do start to wonder why it can't be you.

[DrGirl72]

Thanks Mel A, as you noticed AF arrived this am which I guess was no surprise as I spoke to my ob yesterday to get my progesterone results and although it got a bit higher this time (peaked at 28 rather than previous high of 21) by monday it was down to 14 and he said he thought AF would be here in a day or two!. Mel A, I also am surrounded by pregnant friends at the moment. Also, at work I am surrounded by little babies which is sometimes very hard (I work in an inpatient unit for mums with mental health problems and they get admitted with their babies)... so I have some idea how it is for you....

Hope others are having a more positive time on the ttc journey. Ob has said to stay on the same dose of clomid (50mg) as I am ovulating and now have a 12 day LP. I guess I thought he may increase it to 75mg as still no BFP.

Welcome Bella, hope you won't need to be here too long.

AJC- how did you/FS decide how many rounds of clomid before IVF or similar? Its a question which DP and I are currently discussing

Twomums for the 15th, hope its not too stressy for either of you.
