TTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin ~ May 2008

[Lovenhope]

hi Girls,

I thought I'd just update my situation at the moment. I decided to skip clomid this month and wait to see what the doc said.

I went to see the doc today and he sounded pretty positive.He decided that I don't need a HCG scan at the moment. He wants me to go two more cycles naturally. After the ectopic my AF came on 29 days. He said the preg hormones can kick my body into gear and that's why I seem to be more regular. If I don't get UTD and my cycle becomes irregular again, then I will start clomid again. So for now I am on temps, CM, ov pain & opk alert, ready to catch that egg.

Bella- GL with the temping. I've just started up again too.

I wish everyone the best in here and will keep my eye on you all.

Hi girls,

Sorry haven't been around this week but have been flat out with work and hubby's 40th party. Well I had my blood test on fri and sorta got the results this arvo. I'm a little confused as my doc said some levels were up and other levels weren't as high as he expected so he wants to do another bloodtest this fri....all too confusing for me and am feeling really down in the dumps as not sure whats going on.

I hope all you girls trying this month have some much needed luck! We have to get some more BFP!

I have had alot going on lately.. my mum has been unwell and they found a mass ?ovarian ?pelvic she had a specialist appt today.. they are hopefull it's NOT cancer as first thought. It will need remmoving but it was a bit of a relief to hear. I'm CD8 waiting for some signs that clomid has worked ... hopefully i O soon so about to start BDing again !

Hi Bella!

Sorry to hear about your mum...i hope she will be ok.
Uhh I hate night shift. I was on night and dh was on days when we had to bd for a week...made the expierence so romantic...lol...it was like nudge nudge, wake up you have to go to work and i have to go to bed! Ahh the things we go through for a bub...gotta laugh.
I have the 2.5 dogs on the bed with me this arvo spending some time with them.

I'm feeling better today.No my doc didn't give me any numbers ,he was mumbling alot to himself.He;s a great doc and i like him but he's a pain when you ring up for results.

Hey girls,

Hows everyone been? Boy isn't it getting cold...our cat is climbing under the doona early in the mornings to get warm the last couple of days. Well I go for my second bloodtest today so I'll know on monday if the clomid made me O....maybe I might get a BFP...here's hoping and crossing fingers and toes! I do have a question for the ladies who know a bit about clomid...has anyone suffered from heartburn and have moodswings after finishing clomid? maybe i'm just pmsing but i got a bit ferral at dh on wed night when we went to the drive ins.It was so silly of me but i got upset that he bought himself an ice cream and didnt buy me on...as he put it "you dont eat ice cream". which is true.ahh i seem to be getting upset at the silliest of things the last week and a bit.

hi girls,
well i just got back from the docs with my test results. I'm wondering if anyone can help me interpret them. these are day 21 bloods LH 47.9, Progesterone 1.6 and oesterdiol 1102. The doc changed his mind and didnt do another blood test as we are seeing the FS in 2 weeks. So confused as to whats going on!!!!

Hi baby monster. According to those results, you havent ovulated yet. Progesterone level of 20 or higher normally indicates ovulation. LH is the lutenising hormone you get before ovulation so I would say you are about to ovulate.

Sorr never heard of esterdiol before.

My post from the other day has vanishe? weird! Just saying I feel this cycle is gunna take forever.I am only on cd8....boring....boring....waiting!!!!
