Pregnancy Info HOME

Clomid Challenge test is when the Dr checks your blood levels for FSH at day 3 and day 11 or 12 . With taking clomid from days 5-9. It lets them know how well the doasge is working with your body to induce ovulation. I do think IUI and clomid increase getting pregnant. Due to the sperm not having to travel as far, where as normally they get weeded out at the cervix. Hope this helps

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ARE WELCOME

Thanks for letting me know what clomid challenge is. All I had done was ultrasounds on dayy 12. So, I know I shouldn't have done this, but I couldn't resist. I did the hCg injection on Sat the 18th, IUI on the 20th. I took a preg test yesterday and this morning. It came back positive, but I worry that it is residual hCg. Anyone know how long that sticks around for? I really shouldn't have tested until this Monday (labor day). I am so nervous, and wish I hadn't had done that.

Hello Everyone! It is really nice that this forum is getting active again. Brie1227, I tested for a pregnancy about 1 week ago at my sister in laws house. It showed -. I did not want her to know so I put it in my purse to dispurse of when I went home. By the time I went home, it had changed to +. I was scared it was an evaporation line so I did ALOT of research since it was to late to buy another test. If it is an evaporation line, it will generally not have any color at all, almost grey like and very, very faint. I took 2 more test the following day and they are both ++. I am 5 weeks and 5 days along. I took 100mg clomid days 3-7 and showed 6 mature follicles. I have to wait until Sept 18 to see if there is more than one. Good Luck!!!

congrats Hollyrae. That is so great! Did you do the hCg? My worry is that I tested too early and it's the hCg injection showing up, not a true pregnancy result. I am getting different days for how long hCg stays in your system. Some say 10, some 12, some 14? Who knows. I guess I'll have to wait a few more days. I'm so happy for you!

Hey Brie! I misunderstood you slightly previously, sorry. Isn't waiting the worst part ever? I swear it can near drive a women insane :). Hopefully things will work out for you this month. How long have you been on clomid for? Do you have other chilren? It took me 3 rounds, I have no other children and am 22years of age. I did not do the injections but that was my next process if just the clomid would not have worked. I hope it works for you :)

Congrats Hollyrae, I think we are about the same gestational age :) We find out next ultrasound on friday. Also I pray it was a + for you Brie.

i talked to my Dr.'s office yesterday and they are having me come in Tues for a blood test. That is 15 days post IUI. Today is 13 days post hCg injection and the test this morning came back positive again. She said she felt good about it. Especially since a few months ago, I tested on day 10 post hCg and it was negative. Now, 3 days in a row it has been positive. I really hope it is. That would be pretty devestating now. Hollyrae, do you know if you are having twins? Didn't you say you had 6 follicles? WOW. I only had 1.

BRIE-good morning!! I used Gonal-F injections with the Ovidrel trigger. I tested positive for pregnancy at 8dp IUI........I thought maybe it was the trigger still in my sytem because I really only tested that early for fun. LOL.......well, it stayed positive until my blood test!! I am now currently almost 14 weeks pregnant with twins!! It figures...I had 2 great follicles and they both took. It's been a long 3 years, so twins will be nice!! (I did clomid for over 9 months and femara for 2 months. I also had the lap surgery due to endo.) I wish you the best of luck!!! (I think it will stay positive!!!) Do you know what kind of trigger you took and the dosage amount?? It's the dosage amount that determines how long it stays in your system. (just fun facts for you....) GOOD LUCK!!!

Hey Everyone! montie75.. congrats on your twins. You must be so excited. I am still waiting until september 18 to see if I am having more than 1. I had 6 mature follicles... so I am REALLY curious. What were your early signs that lead you to suspect that you were having twins? I am almost in my 6th week. The wait is driving me crazy. Brie.... i hope that you are pregnant... would this be your first?

HI Holly!! Actually, I didn't have a clue I was pregnant with twins until my fertility doc. did an u/s at 5 weeks 4 days. I have had no m/s or anything. My bb's were sore from the day of ovulation till now. HAHAHAHA. I honestly didn't know. When the tech told us we had twins, my husband fell out of his chair. It was the funniest thing. Now, he is the happiest dad to be - I have ever seen!!! I am very excited for you!! Would you like to have twins??

Hey Monty! I feel pretty good right now as well. No m/s, booobs sore since ovulation, and ALWAYS COLD. I can not seem to stay warm enough. hahaha! Anyways, honestly whatever God gives me I will be ecstatic. Yes twins would be great, so would 1, so would 3. Whatever. Unfortunately my ob/gyn wanted to wait until I was 8 weeks to count how many.... just in case there is more than 2. He said at 8 weeks there would no second guessing himself :) Is this your first pregnancy?

hello everyone! i am 23, i have a 4 yr old girl, but i haven't be able to conceive since her. i am now on my 2nd round of clomid. i'm taking 100mg, i am on cd 16. i had iui that showed 3 mature eggs, they gave me the hcg shot, but i don't know if i conceived. i guess i have to wait a couple more weeks and see if af comes. anyone with this problem?

Hiya everyone.i'm 19 years old..i've had 2 miscarriage and a cycle that is about 42 days long..i'm on cycle day 26 and i have yet to ovulate acording to temping..i've had tons of ewcm and justnothing is showing up on my temping chart..i feel a little lost and want to go onto up clomid after maybe talking to my doctor about it...to see if it will help me conceive..i know the risk of multiples even though i just want one.....i'm very scared after hearing that clomid is dangerous...and would like someone to talk to abou it.....anyone?

yesterday was my first day on clomid. taking on 3-7

I have not heard that Clomid wasn't safe or that it was dangerous. I would really talk to your Dr. about the risks and benefits of taking it. Personally, I think it's the miracle drug! We used it to conceive my son back in 2005, and we have found out for sure that I am pregnant again. Ashleym, I took a HPT 11 days post hCg injection and it came back positive. But I know they like you to wait to test until 14 days post IUI. I just couldn't wait that long. I had my blood test yesterday and everything looks good. Keep us posted on how the test comes out. I'll wish for baby fo ryou!!!
