my pills are only like $13 a month, but my insurance won't cover all of the cost for infertility so i have to pay half every month. That is a lot for a scan! and i thought healthcare was expenisve here!
what month of clomid are you on beks?
i hope month number 2 is a lucky one for us all!!!!! i don't know why but i don't think it will be this month for me, i think next month is my month.

strangely enough, the clomid here only costs about the equivalent of $12. i hope everyone is doing well today. i am 4dpo and just relaxing about this month. don't have a feeling either way about it really.

This is my 7th month on clomid and the hot flashes are the worst they have ever been!!

 

tk07 - November 29

it is so funny that the hot flashes were bad last time when i was taking the pills but this month they got bad at the end of the pills and i am still getting them and today is cd11! tomorrow is my scan so i am hoping for some big follies!
well i hope this is our month!

hi ladies, i am 9dpo and don't think i am pregnant. i am trying to decide whether to do a third month of clomid or maybe take a break. the first month my lining was a very healthy 13mm but this month only 8mm. the follicles i had this month were the same (two mature) as my last unmedicated cycle so i'm not sure i am seeing the point of it.

hi chandellina, it still might be your month! don't give up hope yet! why were you put on clomid i you were O ok before taking it? yeah, and it is frustrating having to go back practically every 2 weeks to do another test while on clomid... i hate that part.

hi tk - well it wasn't my month, as af came last night. my doctor says to take it again this month, though i'm getting keen to maybe move to another level, ie., something that works. i was ovulating on my own but had a couple low progesterone readings over the summer so it seemed like moreso some months more than others. how were your follicles this month anyway?

 

tk07 - December 7

well, i had one that was at 14 and another at 23x17... i am not sure what that means though. I am 3dpo right now.
my dr told me to call him if i get my period this month so we can plan my next cycle. so i am thinking that means tweak it. he is probably thinking there is no reason for me not to, i had a perfect cycle last month and a good one so far this month. so i don't know!
i'm sorry you got af :(
that is such a disappointment when you are trying so hard and taking meds and everything. i am really trying not to get my hopes up and to relax! i was so nervous last month. has your progesterone level been good while on clomid?

I just started my second round of clomid as well. Last month I took 100 days 5-9 and this is weird, I know...But I have never felt so INfertile! No mucus, no action in there....Never ovulated on my own, they had to trigger me and nothing. This month I am taking it days 3-7 and I cut my dose back to 50. I did this because I have never had a problem ovulating and my cycle is every 30 days like clockwork. Husband's count, motility and morpgology are all low so they gave me clomid with hopes to create more targets. Chandellina, I saw that you said something about not testing positive on an OPK with clomid. Do OPK's normally ot work for you or is there something about clomid that makes them not work? I'm wondering now if my ovulation slipped right by me last month without me knowing? They did my US and said "If you don't have a surge in two days we're gonna trigger" ...And that's what happened. Hmmmmm. Anybody have any ideas?

 

tk07 - December 7

Last month was my first month on clomid and my surge did slip right by me, my dr said i definately ovulated but i never got a positive opk! this month i got a positive, i didn't realize i should test morning and at night! that is what i did this month though. and i have read that the opk's don't work for everyone...
good luck to you!

 

chandellina - December 8

amy, yes i did have positive opks on unmedicated cycles but there was also at least one before the clomid where i didn't see the surge. it's so hard to tell with these tests though since they can be affected by time, liquids you've drunk, etc. i was a bit scatty with them. TK- your follicles sound good. my dr only does the scan and hasn't been testing my progesterone. but my last progesterone reading on an unmedicated cycle was really high. it is so frustrating - my dr said i was responding really well to the clomid, with big follicles, etc., but nothing ....

hi everyone...I'm starting my 4th round of clomid on monday this time i have to give myself a hcg injection sometime after the 18th. The first 3 times I only used the clomid and it was unsuccessful every time....running out of money so hoping the injection will work their magic

 

tk07 - December 12

hello! i am going for my progesterone test today, i am 9dpo. i don't feel too lucky this month but hopefully i am wrong.
hope the injection goes well for you kristina!

 

chandellina - December 12

hi tk, let us know how your progesterone goes! tomorrow i go for my follicle scan, though i'm only going to be on cd9. seems a bit early but that's when they asked me to come in. kristina - i did the hcg trigger last month and expect i will do it again this month. i'm on my 3rd cycle of clomid now.

 

tk07 - December 13

well i hope you have some nice big follicles! and that this is your month!
as for me, i don't know my progesterone results yet but i think they are probably low since i spotted yesterday morning and even more this morning. but the bummer is that today is only 10dpo. i do not think it is implantation either. so maybe next time, which will be my third cycle of clomid too. it is so weird, my first cycle of clomid went perfect but this month it like regressed. crazy.

 

chandellina - December 13

tk - sorry to hear you're spotting - is it af for sure? i am so bummed today - my scan showed a 4cm cyst. there was a follicle on the other ovary so my dr said there's still a chance this month but he didn't sound very convinced. now i have to take next month off from everything and hope the cyst goes away. then in february we will move on to IUI and injectables, cost be damned. i'm really annoyed i didn't go with my instinct and take this month off from the clomid though.
