Hi Ladies,
I'm new, and wanted to join? If that's okay - 3rd Round of Clomid and need to have some other women's insight to what the heck to expect!
I too have been taking the "Scenic Route" to the BFP.... I although I have seen 5 in my days... nothing to show for it thus far. After an ectopic pregnancy that nearly killed me, a miscarriage at 6 week and a chemical pregnancy after that, then my longest and most difficult heart beat seen and then lost at 9 week 7 days, then I had what they think was another slight ectopic in January of this year.... let's just say I've been through a lot on my way....
So as i said before I'm round 3 on Clomid 150mg- Ding Ding - I have noticed some interesting side effects.... Laser light show- (happens when i stand up or drink some wine) and hot flashes! Oh and acting like a complete bitch or crying.... Very interesting drug.... I have also seen a weight gain of about 5 or 8 LBs.... So much fun, increased the running to put a stop to that. I also feel my ovaries so much more then I have before...
So my issue is my eggs are not "ripe" enough, and my progesterone seems to nose dive after 7 weeks.... So i am hoping that Clomid helps me get past 10 week and to 9 months!
So My last 2 cycles were a big fail- 1st one well it didn't work at all... numbers actually went down, great.... 2nd round, the up the dose to 150mg from 100mg, that did the trick - only one problem, my Ovary decided to choose the wrong side to O on... the side missing the tube from my ectopic, so that was a waste. But it show us that my estrodol levels were AWESOME and everything else shows it's working - I even had a Follies measure 24mm, 22mm and 19mm! They never have seen this with me as of yet.
Now on Cycle 3 we hope to see the LEFT side be dominant (the one with a tube) and good, ripe 22mm+ egg(s) - My chances are as good as any cycle to get that to happen.... But who knows. they were going to do IUI and the HCG (?name) injection but we decided that I would try it with just the Shot HCG and timed intercourse, I have got pregos 5 times.... that isn't the issue, Clomid will hopefully help the issue with keeping the pregnancy.... longer than 9 week and the goal of 9 months!
Anyone else in my boat? No real issues, all the test come out fine but just cannot carry the pregnancy but hoping that clomid will help with upping chances and Egg quality? I know that i don't have PCOS, But they never have been able to test the fedus... so I am unsure if it's genetic, my Dr doen't think so, because the progesterone thing and how I reponded to the 1st round of clomid just makes her feel that it is def. a hormone issue.... which as a nursing student I completely agree.
I am on Day 4 of my cycle, just had my check yesterday Clean slate, so i can start Clomid tomorrow day 5 thru 9 then Egg Check on day 11 or Friday the 22nd, then they shoot me up at that Apt if I'm a Lefty, then We just Do it, do it, do it......... and cross fingers and toes..... if we got this cycle to work I would be due on my hubs birthday.... I would love that....
But I would love to just concieve.....
Sorry for the Book report, I'm trying to read up on all of you... Sounds like for just what is on this page I am in the right place for feed back and venting....
