TTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin ~ May 2008

[babymonster]

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!!!!

Hey haven't been on for a few days. Bella how's your mum?
Mabello, are you in a positive place yet after your BFN?

How's everyone else doing? Sandy DrGirl Princess?

I'm on CD17, got what I think was a +ve OPK, but have been bding anyway every day! Had my acupuncture today, and overall we feel very positive. Had gyob appointment, and this was my last cycle on clomid then we're going natural for a couple of cycles, before trying FSH injections - with or without IUI.

Felt pretty down when AF arrived, lasted 3 days, but I'm on the up part of the cycle, where I feel positive and happy.

Have decided to get another focus, as I was spending wayyyyy too much time focusing on IF and researching and reading constantly so have started scrapbooking. Really enjoying it.

Gotta go,

hey girls,

i have been so lazy with my met- ifeel like it makes me bloated?? anyone else feel this way??

Hi Everyone!

Babymon - ?? with your results - have you heard anything further - whats happening?

Maybello - hey hun how are you doing?

Airline - Thanks for asking about my mum - she is going in for surgery tom so everything will turn out ok. Hey we are cycle buddies i'm CD18 today! I think you have given it a good chance of catching that eggie

LSK - i have been really lazy with my met also - not sure if it makes me bloated - i just feel like a fat cow at the moment anyway - think ive put on weight!!

Well i have taken some annual leave from work so off now until Monday week - just needed some mental health time. I'm not at all positive with this cycle - we BD a few good days but also missed out a few - so much going on. I know i have Oed but not sure when - couldn't keep up with testing because of my shift work DH and i have decided to do our last cycle of clomid next cycle if it's BFN then take a break before moving onto injections - DH said he would take me to Thailand!!

Sending out lots and lots of
GL to everyone this cycle - bring on the big fat positives!

xxBella

Hi girls,

sorry i haven't replied before now but wasn't really in the mood to play on the pooter the last week.

Mabello...thanks for your help interpreting the results!

Airline...I think i'm going to take a leaf out of your book and find a new hobby to take my mind of things.Hows the scrapbooking coming along?

Bella... I hope your mum is doing well! I will be going for a bloodtest tomorrow as AF hasn't shown up yet and my doc said he will do a preg test.We see the FS next fri as to what way we go next.

I guess I'm just waiting on AF to show as i thought she was here the last 2 days and kept running to the toilet to check. Have a bit of cramping today but nothing like i usually get and my BB are'nt sore like usual either. Has anyone else had problems with their cycles after clomid? I'll probably get Af tomorrow before i go for the BT but at least we can start on the clomid again for one more round until we get further instructions....I'm back in a positive mood.
