Congratulations Mel A, it seems to be a great month for clomid munching BB's!

Isaw the FS yesterday and the info. is all reeling around in my head but essentially this will prob. be our last cycle of clomid (but we are adding in pregnyl). FS recommended IVF (ICSI in fact due to a high no of abnormal sperm inour donor). Because he is a donor (even 'though he is known etc) his sperm still; has to go through a quarrantine process. With this, mandatory counselling sessions etc it will probably be about 6 months before we actually embark on our first cycle. I've had a heap of blood taken and at the start of next cycle have an internal USS as part of the 'egg timer' test to work out my ovarian reserve.
So my biggest hope is that by some miracle we get a BFP this month and don't have to do all of the above. Off to the O+G this am for another TVS to see what the clomid has done this time....

docgirl -

It was only a few weeks ago that ob recommended us to IVF program due to DH's low sperm morphology and whammo BFP 3 weeks later.
that you get your miracle this month.

Mabello - GL, I hope you have your BFP soon.

bella - people don't seem to be in this thread too long so I'm sure you'll have your BFP before you know it!

Babydust for everyone!!!

Wow, AJC and MelA...been following this thread so closely....and delighted
to hear/read your news.

I'm on day 12 of my 5th round of clomid (3rd on 100mcg), and we're pulling out all the stops this time! I've had an HSG...pretty painful when they inflated the balloon..but the nurse said I was brave :P and the best news was that the dye flowed through both well (one tube was a little stubborn), and the radiologists were happy with the xrays taken.

Today I had my first acupuncture session and she thinks my thyroid may be my stumbling block (I'm on medication for underactive), so I'm getting blood test to check how it's doing.

We've also started using OPK tests and I'm charting my temp. I hope some of the luck that's been floating around this forum is coming our way.

Good luck to everyone and look forward to the next instalments

Congratulations Mel A!!! How fantastic!!! Time to pop the non-alcoholic champagne!!

Glad to hear you and Kim got the all clear Twomums - good luck!

I hope you are feeling OK Drgirl - big good luck that the pregnyl/clomide combo works for you this month.

Bella55, from what I've read it sounds like you are getting the kind of CM that is meant to indicate ovulation? Sounds promising!

I think there is a lot of babydust flying around this forum at the moment with AJC and MelA's good news - hopefully we will all catch some!

Not much going on with me, only 2 more provera tablets to go - then hopefully period - then clomid...

Hi Everyone

Well i have just returned from my accupuncture appt and after explaining how i have been feeling and all the gory details about my CM - she is pretty sure i O on Mon . Hopefully we have done enough to have caught that eggie! So she said unless i get similar signs later in the week she said to start the count down to testing from Mon!!
I see her next in two weeks
Anyway better go a get DH something to eat - he is going out tonight so i will BBL.
