Anyone using Clomid?

hi ladies - me to. CD1 today - no luck first cycle of clomid so 2nd cycle starts tomorrow! better luck for all of us

Well ladies this is turning out to be one of those yucky old days.

Feeling quite down about the whole baby thing. Sod it all!

I have a very good friend who is pregnant and she was telling me all about her scan and I battle with feeling totally over the moon for her and really jealous. Just makes me feel really awful feeling like that with someone who is really close to you. I would never tell her that obviously but just makes me feel like a bad friend you know?

Anyway, the ups and downs of TTC huh.

See ya later

Hi Mindy,

I was the same as you. DH and I have been trying for a year and went to fertility doc for the first time in October and they put us on clomid.

It will all come together for us! This damn roller coaster takes us all over the place.

Don't you love people at work that do that? At work last Friday one guy is watching with eagle eyes what I drink...it is like sod off would you!

Let us know how you go. All the very best

Oh I know the whole waiting thing is totally frusturating.

We went to fertility doc because after 9 months of trying we decided to get checked. I am 34 and DH is 38. My hubby had two sets of swimmer tests done a month apart and his doc said the motility and morphology were quite low so we rang Fertility Associates and had to wait for a month to see them. Once there the doc said that he was happy with his results, did a scan on me and was happy with that and thought clomid would be a good option before going down an IVF path.

He put it down to an unexplained infertility situation.

We were thinking we would go in and it would be all bad news so that was quite positive.

I was lucky enough that my period was due within a day or so of the appointment so I could start the clomid straight away although I had too many follicles last month so am on 25mg this month to see if I can get just 2 follicles.

When is your appointment?
Love to hear how it all goes.

Totally frusturating!
I was like let's go for it but DH had to do the practical male thing and say you really want the risk of triplets.......yeah ok then that would be pretty huge so onto this month.

That time will fly.
Especially at this time of year and your appointment will be here before you know it.

Wishing you lots of speedy days and good luck

Hahaaaaa!

yeah that is definitely something to have a giggle about.

After all the poking and proding us ladies have to go through it is like get over it and get that sample sorted   

We had to get a sample to the medlab on a saturday so I said to him umm do you want me to help or you want me to leave you alone. He wanted to be left alone so I said I would take the dog for a walk but i was dithering about cause it was about to rain and I could see him getting stressed and then he said would you just hurry up!! ok ok i said and quickly took the dog out......then we were cruising down the motorway and he had forgotten to write the time on the little jar so he had to fish it out of his jeans and pass me the bottle to write on it....oh we laughed and laughed.

hi ladies how is everyone going. I had bloods today and estrogen 600. Not sure what that represents, except last month was 2000 estrogen level and 5 follicals. I have a scan tomorrow tosee how many follicals and if we can try this month. Just a bit down today - I really feel like this is never going to happen!!

Fingers crossed Dotty- I have read that it can take a couple of cycles to tweek out some issues and get dosages right... though again not sure if that exactly correct- you've got to weed out what you read on the net don't you?

Bree let us know how you go with your scan- fingers and toes crossed for you

Hi
No still waiting, the dr said she would send the referral that day, though last time a dr said that she would send a referral for a scan I went back to her about 2 months later to find the referral was never sent! (Again this wasn't my usual G.P- though different one to the last one I saw). I will never go back to her, here I was upset about fertility troubles and she was stroking her pregnant tummy the whole time- though I don't think shw was aware that she was doing it, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt......
Might give specialists a ring to see if they recieved referral on about Wed if I haven't heard anything. Dont want to be pushy but got burned last time.... DH going to sort out his tests this week.

How are things with you?

I went to DH work dinner and people there kept saying the "When is it your turn your turn to have a baby" etc *sigh* sooo tired of that, its getting really old really quick! I fobbed it off all night saying "I'd rather have a puppy" which of course we know that is way further from the truth, however wasnt about to explain it to them! DH was good he held my hand under the table... DH and I are both 28,

You too Flipsta, fingers crossed we head into the BFP segment together
