TTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin ~ May 2008

[bella55]

I don't know that for 100% sure - someone else in here (can't remember who!!) has the same FS as me and told me that? My FS has only breifly mentioned that we will move onto injections but he said "hopefully that won't be neccessary - we will cross that bridge IF we have to!!"

Hello everyone, sorry been a bit busy, but yes Bella I'm at 5DPO, and not tearing hair yet, although frustrated cos after bragging last week about how I've not had a cold or a cough for over 2 years....something started yesterday at lunchtime and by the time I finished work at 1.30am, I was rough. Called in sick for tonight, but it's sore throat, ears, jaw/teeth and body aches with a muzzy head.

Does anyone know if being sick can affect what may hopefully be happening 'in there' during this 2ww??

Ironically I've never taken so many vitamins or eaten so healthily as I have done in recent months!!!

In addition, my DH has been on zinc tablets for months and has recently upped his intake after reading a fertility book. We both get acupuncture (although only mine's been for fertility) and my acupuncturist has given my fish oil tablets to take and when I finish my Blackwells folic acid tablets she's going to give me some that are 'stronger'.

By the way did anyone see on the news the lady in Darwin who just had a healthy baby that was actually an ectopic pregnancy???? Noone knew till they went to do a c-section....thought they'd see it on ultrasound, but gives hope to us all.

This month I started charting temp also on FF. Fantastic website, and between that, and OPKs and my HSG this month I've tried to be as positive as possible.

We are in the TWW girls!!

The regime:
CD2-6 - 100mg Clomid
CD7-11 - 75iu Puregon (FSH Injectable)
CD12 AM - Scan & bloods (two follicles, no LH surge)
CD12 PM - Trigger HCG 5000iu
CD14 - IUI
CD17 - Booster HCG 3000iu

Its CD15 today. I may or may not have done an extra click on the puregon pen a couple of times (80iu) when no one was looking to see if she'd get an extra egg, my bad??

Well those extra couple of clicks of the Puregon pen worked!! Kim had two huge perfectly round follicles, one on each side. One was 21.3 and the other was 20.6.

Our doc apologized as she had a little bit of trauma to the cervix during the IUI this time. Never happened before. She lightly spotted on the day, but it stopped by that evening. Any how she was in agony before the IUI, sure sign of immenent ovulation, so we think we hit the nail on the head. With double the chances.

Kim mostly gets two follicles. But normally both on the same side so they aren't perfectly round and sort of squished up against each other. But the last time she had one on both sides she got pregnant!!! We think its a good omen anyhow. Now for the TWW. Thank you guys for all your crossed fingers and toes. We are pretty hopeful this time

Two Mums YAY how exciting this is soo awesome for the both of you I am sending you lots and lots of :babydust:

Thanks Miss K, I really hope 150mg Clomid does the trick for you guys!! If not the injectables really aren't that bad! Its really really easy!! And it works!!

twomums that sounds awesome....how excited must you girls be!!!

bella I had no symptoms either (except my illness!), till yesterday when I got a stitch down low on my left only..esp when I bent over. I remember having it last month and that ended in AF arriving on my doorstep, . I also had 2 bouts of sudden nausea at work last night. I'd eaten enough during the day, (although my appetite had diminished from its usual ravenous self!). The second one lasted all the way home, and I had some toast before bed. Temp. still rising, highest since ovulating...except when I was sick. Oh plse, plse, plse, plse......

Got acupuncture session tomorrow, but even DH is getting excited...and has asked a few times 'when will we do the HPT?' bless him.

I felt better about getting that 24hour bug when I read that pregnant women's immune system is suppressed so that the body doesn't reject the embryo, and thus they're more susceptible to picking up colds, bugs etc

good luck everyone, babydust to one and all
