TTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin ~ May 2008

[Danni]

so happy with everyones results in here!!

My progesterone level was 90!!! I was so shocked cos when i fell pregnant last time it was only 30! so im still trying to keep optimistic even though all my symptoms have disappeared

well I had a bummer of a day when I had my acupuncture session. The acupuncturist said after taking my pulse that she couldn't feel a 'pregnancy pulse' . It was the first negative thing that had happened all month, and Dh and I were a bit down. I got some chinese herbs in tablet form also.

After posting on another forum I was advised to not take much notice of her as it was way too early to tell, normally from about 4 months. (it was CD26 and 8DPO.)

Anyway, I've had more nausea...DH made thai fish cakes last night...and I felt so bad for him cos I kept gagging and had to leave them and only eat the vegies. Then I had issues with the carrot on my plate , telling him it tasted sooo strong! wierd.

My temp. has dipped slightly this morning (10DPO), so we did an HPT .... I know, I know...too early...and it was

Oh well last months cycle was 28 days and today's CD28 so we'll see.

Fingers crossed Mabello, Loulou that sounds great!!!!

Fingerscrossed, isn't Clomid wonderful ....I've got one more round left of 100mcg...thank goodness.

Bella, any news???

Hi everyone, i just heard about this thread from LouLou..thanks so decided to drop in and say hi and hopefully be able to share some wonderful clomid stories!!! i'm not sure what to expect yet so bring it on!!!!!! i'm taking my first tablet of clomid tonight...1 tablet, 50 mg a day to start and then see how that works!!! fingers crossed!!!! can anyone tell me whats the worst i could be in for in terms of side effects???

Mabello - 90?! OMG! That's the highest I've ever heard of. Great news Sorry about the BFN but hopefully that's just because you tested early

Airline - sorry about your BFN too. Let's hope the results change for you very soon as well.

Dotty - glad you found this thread. How are you feeling? I get mild crampings from clomid and my first round gave me mood swings (but I may have had them anyway as I was very stressed about TTC so it's hard to tell). Good luck - I hope it does it's job. You're having a progesterone test at CD21-23 as well?

[Danni]

welcome dotty...the worst you should experience would be bad headaches and hot flushes. I dont think the side effects of clomid are too bad tbh.

thanks lou! On a positive note (well not really) I am vomitting tonight.....

Hi ,
I'm just sneaking in to say hi, introduce myself and ask a quick question.
Here is a quick update of my TTC history.
-TTC for 12 months.
-Had my first round of 50mg clomid in April this year.
-Ist round worked and I got BFP at the end of April.
-Early may found out it was ectopic and had lapo. to remove left tube.
-June- just starting spotting so I suspect AF will be here in a couple of days.

Question is: Do I take clomid this month on day 5 (as I did previously) or wait another month til after I have an HSG scan to check that my right tube is blocked. My head says wait and my heart says give the clomid a go!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Surely the clomid can't hurt?? Right??
