Hi ladies...Carole, I hope that you get a BFP in a few days! When are you going to start testing? This morning I woke up and had some pink cm and so I thought that af was here but unfortunately, I'm still waiting for her grand entrance. Lynn, thanks for sharing your story. You find out the sex of your baby tomorrow right? Hi Mega & Melissa!!

Hey Ladies - so impatient - i;m taking repronex and gonal F together - he said it gives you a better response in my case that is!! So are you doing gonal f for ing or for an injectibel cycle?? Gonal F is a lot stronger than the clomid so i;m sure you will react better to these meds!! Oh and we all totally understand how you feel - i have friends left and right getting pregnant and i'm still trying - it is definitely hard, but our turn will happen soon!! Well ive done 2 days now of the ivf meds - i get a red spot at the injection site and it stings going in but it willb e worth it hopefully! I take my shots at night! Anyways hope i have lots of follies growing for my Wednesday appt! lynn so tomorrow is the big finding out day right?? cant wait for you!! hey Carole glad you are back!!! I'm praying that AF doesnt show for you!! You never know!! Did you get my pic?? Mega we are mising you and hope you are enjoying your vacation!! Hi soimpatient!

 

Lynn - September 25

hey just a quick stop today. i am very tired as not much sleep last night. So, i know it is hard but it will happen just remain proactive for yourself. cmelissa, good job on the meds. let us know how Wednesday goes. Carole, glad to see your still with us. when i got my BFP, i had PMS bad so keep that in mind. to my surprise it was not pms. we are not giving up until AF shows. stay positive. Mega, you okay? what is the process you are doing now? well, tomorrow late afternoon is our appointment. we see ultrasound tech at 4pm and OB at 5pm so i will be e-mailing late. talk to you all tomorrow.

Yay Lynn! I'm so excited for you! It is nice to have someone on this thread that has something positive to share! Thanks for the encouragement ladies! I can't believe that af isn't here. I though that she was coming since I had blood streaked cm this morn (tmi, sorry). I don't know what could be wrong. I guess I will call my doctor if I don't get af by wednesday. Melissa, what is ing? I still don't know a lot when it comes to injectibles. All I know is that I have to take Gonal for about 12 days then get a HCG trigger and then have an IUI. So, I was talking to my SIL today (she has a 5 month only boy) and she thinks that she is pg again!!! Wow! I can't stand how everyone else is getting pg so easily. I wish that I had someone in "real life" to talk to. Have any of you girls seen the movie "the secret"? It is about the laws of attraction and how everything in your life is there because you have attracted it. I have watched it 4 times already! It helps me to stay positive. I've noticed that there is a little bit of talk about weight at the beginning of this thread...I have gained about 10lbs since TTC! I think that most of it is from clomid & provera-bloating. Oh well, I just hope that I can lose it later on. By the way, my real name is Angela but feel free to call me "so" if you want:)

 

kotkot005 - September 26

ok girls .. yesterday the witch showed up. i have schedualed an appointment next saturday. i think we will set a date for my Lap. i am too much excited and iam reeeeeally longing to start another procedure rather than clomid. you know iam not that depressed as the doctor told me when he did the mid cycle scanning that my ovaries are empty ( i was off medications ). so we were prepared that nothing ios going to0 happen this month.
although,i am still taking my metformin and as i told you at the end of the last thread, iam thinking of ordering ovulex so what do you think? anyone with past experiance ?any advices?

 

cmelissa - September 26

Hey Lynn so exciting your appt is tomorrow -cant wait to hear the news! I have my 1st follie check tomorrow morning! Very excited! A little nervous too since i;m not very bloated yet - i hope they are growing! its only been 4 days of injectibles though. Mega hope you get back soon so you can post! We miss you! Hey Angela - i know my sister is on baby #2 and its depressing for me b/c i have been trying for so long now that i have friends getting pregnant with #2 and i;m still trying for #1. Thats great you will be taking gonal F - i heard that works well. Kot kot - so sorry AF showed! I haven;t had any experience with ovulex and dont know much about it - maybe someone else on this thread has advice??

 

mani06 - September 26

hi I am new to this forum though have been on m/c one. I too have trouble getting pregnant, have had 5 pregnancies that ended in m/c through specialist via clomid / femara .now this month had FSH Shots with monitoring since I cant afford IVF at this point, home test was negative and there are just no signs of preganancy... anyway this forum has helped alot .. thanx to all the wonderful women here

 

cmelissa - September 26

Welcome Mani - hope you will join us! So sorry to hear about all your m/c. Did your dr. know why you are miscarrying?? Its going to happen for you i just know it!!

 

Lynn - September 27

hey girls, just checking in. cmelissa...my appointment was today. keep us posted on the follie check. i find this experience very interesting. So, how are you doing today? Mega, where are you? Carole, how are things going on your end? Kot, i do not know anything about the drug your asking about but if your taking MET please check into it with your doctor before you take it. okay.....baby cooperated and we are having a GIRL!!!! just wanted to share. i also have a sinus infection so waited for over an hour at the drug store for my meds. i am tired. talk to you all tomorrow.

 

kotkot005 - September 27

Lynn.. that's just wonderful, i really wish to have agirl on my first preg. well, congractulations and wish you a very safe pregnancy . cmelissa, well no need to be sorry for af showing up... i just got used to that and feel just neutral. the ovulex is a herbal fertility enhancer. it is all about herbs and it is only sold in the USA and there are many threads on this forum talking about success stories from ovulex.. i even checked the web and there are tons of women who despretley used everything and it was ovulex which worked for them. as i will have about a month to do the lap while being off the medications i will try to order it and have it for the next 30 days i am not sure yet but a part of me is so much willing .... Cmelissa, keep us informed what happens on the scan today... lots of luck.

 

Mega - September 27

Lynn--A GIRL, congrats! How exciting. So glad she wasn't shy for this appt. Feel better soon! I was in TN for a long weekend, no computer access there. Plus no computer access at home either, it was acting up. But the good news is, nothing major was wrong & it'll be fixed by tonight. But I'm back now. Carole, good luck in the 2 ww, hope you get that surprise BFP. Cmelissa, good luck today at follie check #1, hope the dr finds lots of good, growing follies.I have no clue how long I'm on BCP for this FET cycle, maybe just another 2 weeks. I still haven't received my calender yet which should've been mailed last week. Grr. So disorganized there, I swear. Kotkot, hang in there. I'm sure you'll have much better success with injectibles. Clomid is just a good first step approach for most people. And the lap should give your dr lots of valuable info to find a better treatment approach for you. I don't really know much about Ovulex, but I agree with Lynn, if you're on Metformin definitely check to make sure there won't be interactions there. So--vent away. That's what we're here for! I found out during our 2 WW that our friends who just decided to try for another baby were already pg her first month off BCP. I thought I handled it well, but now in retrospect the crying jag I had the next night was probably due more to that than I previously thought. But I was so convinced she & I would be experiencing pg together and here we are a couple weeks later & she's pg and I'm still not. Ouch! So let those feelings out. This stuff sucks big time. But at least each cycle you try, your odds will climb. It's hard, but keep that in mind. Especially since women who don't O on Clomid go on to O on injectibles, so that's huge. Hang in there.

 

mani06 - September 27

Hi all, so my result is officially BFN. my nurse asked me to go on BCP on 4th day of periods for 2-3 weeks and then call her when next AF comes so they will start the shots,, I dont know y they cant start them now.. any input and now they wud increase FSH from50 to 75IUI which would b a blessing, since last time it took 24 days to ovulate

 

mani06 - September 27

opps I mean to ask if I can join u girls here first and started with my own whiny tale.. u guys are awesome and its good to have some kind of a support group where u can talk freely and share ur sorrows & joys, bad days and not so bad days and then all the BFP's that we are aiming for ..

 

cmelissa - September 27

Lynn, YEAH its a GIRL - how exciting!! Do you have the name now!! Well my appt went well i have about 8-10 folllies right now and i just got the call regarding my bloodwork to keep the same dosage. They said they dont want to up b/c they dont want to overstimulate me and cause problems so that is good! I will probably stay around this # as long as there are 2 good ones to implant!! I go back on Friday morning and Sunday morning and then i will know for sure if the ER will be on the 3rd or 4th. I'm so nervous about the ER luckily i will be knocked out for it :) MEga welcome back we missed you lots! I know all my friends are pregnant now too - mega remeber that friend of mine with pcos well she got pregnant her 3rd attempt i cant remeber if i told you that already so thats a positive!! mani so sorry about damn AF showing i know its hard when she shows up trust me! I think they put you on the bcps to rest your ovaries until you start the meds next cycle. Mani you are Welcome here anytime this is a great group of women!!

 

soimpatient - September 27

Yay Lynn! A baby girl is so exciting!! Mega, sorry to hear about your friend being pg. I though tthat I would be pg with my friend as well. Mani, sorry about the BFN. Melissa, that is awesome about your follies...hopefully they are screaming "fertilize me!" :) Well, I broke down and called my doctor since I still don't have af. They were stumped as to why I haven't had it yet. She was supposed to talk to the doc and call me back but that was 4 hours ago! I'm so frustrated!

 

Lynn - September 28

hi, kot, i took Met only and after 8 months i got my BFP. please check into tkaing both drugs together. So, did the doctor ever call? i hope you get some answers. Mani, always welcome and do not worry about whining.
