DH: 23 Ready to go!
TTC for 9 months. Just finished a round of Clomid...hope it worked!!!
I keep telling myself that maybe it is still too early for a hpt to show up positive. I'm 13 dpo on cycle day 28. They say you can take the tests 5 days before a missed period...but I never know when my periods are gonna be.
Ugh...what a heartbreak.View Thread

I'm just tired of wasting time and money on something that doesn't appear to be working. I want to also look into injectable and see what kind of expenses they would be. I'd rather pay more and get results now than keep putting it off and eventually lead down the same road. I know he's going to make me wait at least another 2 weeks before he'll prescribe me provera, then I'll have another 14 day wait after that. I'm just so tired of the waiting. Sorry for rambling, I'm just so upset right now

Its been a rough, complicated pregnancy. They are taking her at 37 weeks because of my blood pressure getting higher. I was in pre-term labor at lest 6 times that resulted in hospitalizations and was on at home anti-contraction medications. I was dilated to a 2 at 35 weeks and 0 at 36 weeks and had undone all my effacement and dilating. So since DS was a c-section ... we debated on what to do and this is the safest move ever.
GL ladies and remember, we did it with spermy issues and infertility on my side. I will keep checking on you!View Thread
I'm wondering if anyone has had similar symtoms. Last night was my day 7 and last day of Clomid. I took the 100mg of clomid along with my .5mg of Dexamethasone. Now since late last night and today I've been getting these little pains in my stomach. Almost like cramps but not near as bad. Its more of a discomfort than pain and it doesn't last very long, will go away and then come back. I'm hoping this is normal. I've never been on the Dexamethasone before so I'm not sure if this means stuff is finally working with the clomid this time, or not. I'm trying not to think about stuff too much and become paranoid. I'm supposed to go in on Tuesday for my mid cycle scan to make sure everything is working and I know its too soon for O pain. Any thoughts on this? I'm trying not to be paranoid, but wanted to ask.
Thanks,View Thread
I have had the worst side effects from the Met ever! I haven't really been eating beacuse if I do I have awful diarreah. I am nauseaous all the time and just don't feel good. I didn't want to call my doc because I was afraid he would take me off of it and then what? But DH told me I had to. I am dehydrated from all the bathroom trips and it jsut isn't good.
So they took me from 2000mg to 1500mg. Hopefully the 1500 will work. I don't know if the 2000 was, but we know that 1000mg doesn't. I already feel less side effects. I was actually able to eat and not run to the bathroom last night, so that is good. I just hope that this is a good dose.View Thread

My update: Waiting to ovulate-Cycle day#45. I'm still on my canceled Clomid cycle. Hoping to ovulate on my own soon.View Thread
I am new to this group and wanted to introduce myself. Like many of you, i was recently diagnosed with PCOS. I am just about to turn 28 next week. We've been trying to concieve for about 9 months now. My biggest problem with PCOS was lack of ovulation. I was put on Yaz for two yrs which i stopped about 10 months ago, so we could start ttc. I ovulated once after stopping the pill, and ever since then i have not ovulated on my own. I went to a gyno who gave me clomid. I tried 50, 100, and 150mg but did not ovulate on any of the doses. I finally saw an RE last month, and she put me on metformin. I was building my dose up slowly and have just started taking 2000mg per day. So i guess its been one month on metformin (not full dose). So far i have not ovulated. My RE said that eventually we can try clomid again, but it'll be up to me when i want to do that. I would love to hear some expiriences with metformin or combination metformin/clomid. If you ladies could share the following:
Did metformin alone work to induce ovulation for you? if so, how long did it take?
Did the combination of metformin/clomid work? if so, how long did you take metformin?
Is there anyone else who was clomid resistant and tried metformin? if so, did you add clomid and was is successful?
I wish you ladies all the best luck and lots of prayers on your journey.

I'm new here. I was diagnosed with PCOS about a 8 months ago after finally going to the Dr when my husband and I were having trouble getting pregnant. Since then I've been referred to an RE. I had all the blood work and HSG tests done. Everything looked good except for a rather high testerosterone level, which my Re said is most likely the reason I haven't been able to ovulate on clomid. I'll be starting provera today to start my cycle and then he'll be upping my clomid to 150mg and combining it with an anti inflammatory that is supposed to counter act the clomid, and hopefully finally produce a mature follicle. Has anyone else had to take the clomid with the other medication? I wish I could remember what its called.Then we'll be moving on to IUI. Just curious is anyone else here has had to combine clomid and how they responded. I'm really hoping for several follicles to mature to give us a really good chance. Plus my husband does have slight motility problems on top of all this.
Oh and we're not afraid of multiples, in fact I'd love twins.
Thanks in advance for any information.View Thread
I have been ttc for a little over 2 years now and am on cd8, just finished my last dose of Femara last night. I have my midcycle u/s next Wednesday. If everything looks good and there is at least one follicle of the right size my RE is going to trigger me with Ovidrel. I was just wondering if anyone has use the Femara before and if they got any follicles from doing it?View Thread
He doesn't have an opinion about me having my period so soon? Just don't bother them for a couple of months? I mean, what does that even mean? May? June? What if I get AF...do I let them know? What if I don't....do I call? I am so unhappy with life right now. This jsut almost isn't worth it.View Thread
Any thoughts?View Thread
I am certainly getting the side effects from it already! I was up at 3 this morning in the bathroom. Hopefully I will get used to it pretty quick though. And I am hopign the higher dose paired with my exercise and eating routine I have now will help me in losing weight. I have dropped a couple inches, but not near what I want.
Here's hoping for some good outcomes!View Thread
I asked her about uping the dose of Met and she said if it is working he isn't going to change it. If not then he might. She said to ask when I am there. So I am going in with a list of questions. She also said that if it is working or seems to be then we are gonna do more of the same. I am so sick of the same I could scream. It just seems to me if it was working then we would see evidence like getting af on my own or something.
Oh well. At least it isn't a lost cycle. We can see something.
Side note, I have been posting on the PCOS board as well. There is a bit more action over there. I am gonna watch both boards still, just thought I would throw that out there.View Thread

Well, I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was positive! Yay! I'm going to the doctor on Wednesday! Pray for us, we are super nervous and excited! This is our first pregnancy!View Thread
So, unless I sound important this is another month gone. Last month it was because he wasn't there. I am just so done. And I feel like a jerk saying that because of all the women that go so much farther and do several IVF rounds and have gone through so much more. But the thing is, I have been doing the same thing for YEARS now! Nothing different at all! I'm not getting any younger either. I just turned 29 last week. We all know the older you get the harder it is. I am just so tired of being let down and hearing "oops! We are on vacay so sorry!".View Thread
I'm really just looking for feedback and support from others who are experiences the same things as me.
