Monnie - I cracked up at your post re the clomid packet..we had a couple of days thinking we were doomed - they were all broken up and falling down the sink..I pray that we don't need those ones one day. Kept the cat amused though! How are you feeling 1st round?
ktgirl, I'm sorry to hear your scan was not more promising. It really doesn't make sense when you consider your dose was increased and you had a follie on less med last time. It can really be such a vicious cycle all the trying and hoping and waiting, with or without meds. Hoping that this next step is your answer. I haven't really researched IUI pros & cons, but dare say that is the avenue we would look at should the clomid not work for us after a few cycles. It is so consuming. I hope you feel better soon.
Willow - I can relate. It will be all over soon. Best of luck.
We have finished our first round of tabbies yesterday. Heaven only knows how I have responded. Much to my relief (and DH) the side effects were minimal. My 1st day I was extremely dizzy. My own fault though, I hadn't eaten, so that was sorted once I scoffed 4 slices of toast. Other than that, I felt a tad emotional a couple of times but nothing worse than mild PMS. All in all I was pleasantly surprised. Such a small dose (25mg) it's any wonder I didn't feel decent side effects! I am not feeling confident that this will be a successful first round. Not like me really. Anyway, I'll try not worry in the meantime. Scan is 10am Monday. Since this is my first scan for follies, just wondering, do they jab you to ovulate or send you away assuming you will then take blood to verify after? I dare say this probably varies with Dr.
A Christmas pregnancy would be lovely! I promise I won't ask for anything else!!
Good luck everyone - enjoy your weekend!

Smudge, I do believe that would be all any of us would want for Christmas! Sadly, I don't think it's going to happen in this house, but I do hope that there's a few Christmas babies to come in this thread! I don't think they make a habit of giving trigger shots at follicle scans, but as you said, it could all very much depend on the individual doctor.
I'm starting to feel really frustrated about the whole choosing a new specialist thing... I've had such a bad experience with my first that I want to make sure I get a good one this time. I've pretty much narrowed it down to two, from two different clinics. The fact that my GP wants me to go with one of them is a particularly big thing, but if we get to the IVF stage, it's going to be cheaper at the other clinic, and the doctor at the other (cheaper) clinic seems to have a special interest in PCOS, but I keep coming back to the fact that my GP is recommending someone, and the rheumy he recommended to me is absolutely fantastic, so hopefully the FS is too? The things you worry about when it's late, you're tired, and you've eaten far too much pizza when you shouldn't be eating it at all!
