TTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin ~ May 2008

**bella55** · May 16th, 2008, 10:03 AM

Hi Everyone,

Well i have had 3 doses of the clomid now - 2 more to go

. I feel really good no side effects yet, although I have had a shocking cold the last few days so i don't think i would have known if i was having any direct side effects!

As for questions about the BT, i think your right it depends when you ovulate. My FS isn't going to take a BT at all? (says he doesn't bother with them - i'm only doing 3 cycles of clomid wheather i ovulate or not and if i do hopefully it will work?)

About to get ready for work.

Hope everyone has a good day and great weekend

xxBella

I am happy to report that Kim had her Laparoscopy/Hysteroscopy & Dye Studies done and there is no endometriosis, no fibroids, no polyps and no inflammation or blockages in the tubes. Dr H took a biopsy of the endometrium and we get the results on monday, but other than that he said her reproductive organs look untouched by human hands. He mentioned that her ovaries looked a little older than her years tho (a little wrinkley). Maybe from all the stimulation they have had to endure over the past two years. Still he said that he still has high hopes that she will fall pregnant with a little help from Clomid and some under the counter FSH. So it looks like Clomid AND injectables for Kim then intra-uterine insemination for the time being.

We are going to have one more go before going to Malta. I know I know, I said we weren't going to but we changed our minds. We are women, its our perogative. 3 months after a laparoscopy is the "fertile window" and if we wait until we get back we will miss 2 of those 3 months. This way we only miss one while we are overseas. Hopefully we will be secretly celebrating at Kim's sisters wedding for more reasons than one. Dr H said that she should get her period when it was due originally so thats about a weeks time. He is posting out the script for Clomid 100mg days 2-6 and then go in to grab the FSH for days 7-11, scans and bloods on day 11, then most likely insemination on day 14, as per usual.

Fingerscrossed - Welcome to the thread, all the very best with the Provera and Clomid, I hope it works out well for you..

Docgirl - Good luck with the FS on Monday.

Mel - Hope the rest of the TWW flies for you.

AJC - So sorry about the dissapointing prog results, maybe you didnt ovulate this cycle, is that what a low progesterone means?? When you do have a confirmed pregnancy you can always supplement your progesterone with pessaries etc, so dont go thinking about M/C. Just think at least you know you have an issue before you get pregnant, so when you do, you are armed with pessaries!!!!!

Bella - Welcome to the thread, I think its a good idea your FS doesn't bother with bloods, they only make you more nervous and less relaxed, the less you know sometimes the better. Timing is only really an issue when you are inseminating with frozen sperm. Just make sure you DTD every couple of days!!!!

twomums - great to hear that Kim's lap & hysteroscopy went well. Good luck this cycle and I hope you both end up taking a little bun in the oven to Malta with you. I can understand why you don't want to miss one of those months.

Well I have some news, I got a BFP this afternoon. Was so disappointed after the 21dy BT this month (even though it was only 3 days post O so I didn't think it was really that accurate anyway) but my temps have been really high this month and when I woke up this morn and it was the highest it's been all cycle @ 14dpo then I decided to take a test. I was soooo nervous...... then totally shocked when instantly those two pink lines appeared.

Praying that this little one is a sticky one.
