Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi, I'm new to this forum. We've been trying for a baby for 4½ years and I am on 50mg of Clomid and 500mg of Metformin. I've just finished my 2nd cycle of clomid. I rang the dr today for my day 21 progesterone level results and it was 190 - does anyone know what this means???

Hi all...Well on to Clomid round 2-How is it that i ovulated, had 4 focciles, had s_x EOD and NOTHING-I am a mess, I really thought this was it. Can anyone make sence of this????

Bul, It is my understanding that clomid can dry you out- so perhaps that is part of it. Have you heard of the robittusin method? That may work in breaking mucus down to make it possible for you to get cm. I tried Rob. one morning and it made me sick all day, so I've decided that needs to be a last resort for me. I'm on 100mg clomid this time... had eggwhite again yesterday-so that was day 2. Anyone have any experience with getting eggwhite and not ovulating?

Nicole i'm sorry dear, i know exactly how you feel, everymonth when the period come i feel depressed for a day or 2, don't loose hope and avoid stressing as it can affect you chances of concieving, we in this together never forget that. we always here to make you feel better. Thanks Hoping1 for raising that point, was actually worried.

Bul-you almost made me cry at my desk! Thanks alot I really appreciate that. It is hard to go through and men don't get it..My husbands reaction was "there is always next month"...If only I was so positive-I think alot of it is gulit that I am not giving him a family, he checked out fine, I feel at fault even though he never makes me feel that way...I am rambling and pretty depressing for a monday huh? Sorry!!! I am having a hard time finding the line b/t positive thinking and getting my hopes up.

i know dear i know, i often find it difficult myself, what is worse is that my man is the one that gets more depressed than me, i'm the one who always say we'll try again, he wants this child so much and i think its the ectopic pregnancy that triggerd this. i try to avoid stressing by saying to myself, the day my baby is born will be the perfect day, i wouldn't have chosen a better date. wipe those tears nicole and tell yourself its going to happen, and soon not later. Remember when you were still learning how to drive, you looked at people and asked yourself when will i drive that comfortably, and now you driving comfortably. i use thoughts like that to get over my worry. one of the girls said we should visualise it, and that is exactly what you should do, and the day it happenes make sure you do everything as u've visualised it. that way u'll be making your dreams a reality. i believe soon enough we'll be sharing ideas on how to bath or feed our babies.

Nicole & Bul- I'm glad to hear those feelings aren't mine alone- I get so upset. And I struggle, too, to find the line between hopes up and just being optimistic. I have bloodwork scheduled for this Friday to see if I am ov. Nicole, how did you know you had follicles? Keep your chin up sweetie- it will happen. If it makes you feel better- we understand.

I went on day 16 for an U/S and they saw 4 focciles on my L ovary. I have to call them today and go for my day 3 U/S on Wednesday so I can do clomid again. Thanks so much for the comfort knowing we are all in the same position.

Nicole, I'm so sorry this month did not work out for you! It can be so frustrating! Stay positive...it'll happen. :-) I just finished my second cycle of Clomid & am on CD21. I've been having very very slight cramping...almost so I have to make sure I am not imagining it! as well as a little bit of watery CM. I keep telling myself that I am pg. I just hope that I am not disappointed in a week! If AF does happen to show, it's DH's turn to go get his guys checked out...he's really excited. :-) Good luck to everyone!

Hi bull I just wanted to respond to your dry cm. I don't know if you read my previous entries but evening primrose oil tablets can be a big help with dry cm. you can take anywhere from 1500- 3000 mg from the first day of aunt flo until ovulation. Don't take it any longer than this because it can cause your uterus to have severe cramping. Robitussin can be used along with E.P.R oil to help thin it out. You can use google to look up the both of them. I am going to use Robt. and E.P.R. oil so I can have alot of thin cm. I am also on 2000mg of metformin. It is making me so nausea and sleepy. I am having a hard time staying a wake at work. But it is worth it if it is going to increase my chances of conceiveing. I am also taking 400mg of folic acid a day just incase I get preg. so that way I can already have it in my system at the time of conception.

Nicole1980- I am so sorry....I know how you feel I had a hellish month in september. I thought I was preg. but I wasn't I stayed depressed for about a week. (Now) Everyday I visulize me and my husband having a joyous experience in the labor room and the doctors saying it'a a healthy baby boy...........Then I smile and think I can't wait for that to come true. I want to give him a boy he has a 9 yr old daughter already but what ever I am blessed with I will be greatful just as long as it is healthy. Nicole you are not alone. We will all get through this. Visulizing really helps me from getting to depressed. Also it helps to stay busy with things that you enjoy that way time want seem to stand still. G/L.

Hi Ladies, I have a question. Have any of you experienced pregnancy type symptoms from Clomid? I hardly ever have a menses, therefore I'm not really even use to PMS symptoms, but I am on CD 25, and 11dpo. I have had cramping, sore b___sts, extremely sore nipples, I'm tired all of the time, I have a lot of creamy CM(which is not normal for me) and I'm hungry at least 3 times a day when I usually only eat 1-2 times. These all seem like signs of pregnancy, but I wonder if it's related to Clomid and I'm just fooling myself...thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has experienced this. I took a hpt....bfn for today, I know it's early, but First Response says you can test up to 5 days before your missed period, which I've never been regular...so who even knows when that would be!!

anonlady, i can bet you R500 u pregnant, i had similar symphtoms last year before i knew i was pregnant, sore nipples, burning sensation in my b___st, does it burn when you pa__s urine? these are all pregnancy symphtoms not clomid. Oh girl i'm crossing fingers that u really pregnant

Anonlady - I have to tell you I def. get preg. symtoms from clomid. However it sounds very promising ...here's hoping. Nicole hang in there girl we will get there. As for me if I did O early today is 8 dpo. Not sure if I did O or not as I have never O'd on day 8 before. Clomid is so frustrating at times. Bul & Geewife how r u guys holding up what days r u on?

So, so dear. i'm in CD16 i'm just crossing fingers i don't get the period this month, i'm not sure about my O days, my gyna only said it can happen from day 12 to 16, my man was away only started getting busy on day 14 so i don't know, maybe i was too late. i'm thinking of buying the OPK

Thank you Bul and Rowen for the well wishes. I'm going to wait until Thursday and take another hpt, I will be on CD 28. I do not know what day would be considered the day I would expect my period since I never get them....any ideas? Bul~I do not have a burning sensation when I urinate....yet anyways. That's interesting though. About considering the OPK's....you should really give them a try, they worked for me the first time! The Clear Blue Easy Digital one is awesome...there is no guess work with the color of the lines. Oh, and you can O pa__s day 16, I have a friend on Clomid who just O'd on day 28(confirmed at her doctors!)....crazy huh? I am hoping for you!
