TTC & Taking Clomid &/or Metformin ~ October 2006 #2

[Willow]

Just back from appt with gyno, DH's sperm was fine (wooo hoooo!!). Apparently his count is quite high but his 'quality' could use a little work, most likely due to the fact that he's a smoker and works in very hot conditions, but overall, it shouldn't cause us any problems.

My progestereone levels have improved quite a bit this cycle so that was a BIG surprise to me, I thought they'd be low again considering my LP spotting has continued, although it did start a little later in my cycle this month. My levels have gone from 20.9, to 25.6, to 60 this cycle so I am quite happy with that, as my Dr said "you ovulated beautifully". So why aren't I UTD???? Stupid body!

So as it appears I am responding to it after all, the plan is to continue on this dose (bugger, was hoping for an increase to 100mg - still might do this - um ma!!) for 3 more cycles and then re-assess. He is happy for me to go unmonitored from now as we know i am responding well to this dose.

I am still seeing an FS on Thursday for a second opinion though. I know I am probably just being impatient and pushing a bit too hard, but I just can't help it. I've been wanting to have another baby for almost 12 months now and it just gets harder each month.

Michelle, I read what you said about 'when your body's ready it will do it and not before' in the other thread I posted. It does make a lot of sense but it's hard to go from a woman who takes 1 month to fall to a woman who's now taken 6 months.

Mako and Chelle, I hope we are all feeling a bit better soon and finally get our BFPs next month!! And you too BW, Hayseed and everyone else, I don't want to leave anyone behind!!!
