Hi Kotkot. Thanks! AF showed up today for me. I'm bummed, of course, esp. now b/c I was sooo sure I was PG this time. But no, I'm definitely not giving up. I'm too stubborn for that. :) I'm fighting harder in fact. That's a major step that you grew your own natural egg this cycle, no matter how this cycle ends for you. Good luck in the 2 WW, by the way. Hang in there. I'm glad you like your new dr, hope he's the one to get you pregnant. Well, you know what I mean.

hello mega.. so sorry to hear that , i can understand how starting over looks like .. a painful experinace ofcourse. anyways i wish u will keep up ur high spirit and i am glad u are still standing up. actually when my AF showd up last month i was totally confused , ,, it took me like 3 days to absorb my frustration and start once again . any ways i will go for the prgestrone blood test this saturday and i will keep u posted with the results . tell me what are u going to do next( are u going to start ur fifth clomid cycle or what???) wish u all the luck.

Thank you! I have an appt. tomorrow for my baseline u/s. So I guess I'll more then. I was planning on trying Clomid & injectibles together til I spoke to someone I know who used to go to my dr & she said he'd only prescribe 3 rounds of injectibles before IVF, which isn't an option for us right now til we save more $$. If that's the case, I don't want to waste 1 of my injectible rounds so soon. So, yes, I guess I'll be on my 5th round of Clomid. I might see if I can go up to 150 mgs. of it. Good luck on your progesterone test. I'll be eager to hear your results. I had my 1 day of pity parties yesterday, now I feel better. I think it's important to let yourself have 1 or 2 or how ever many days you need to feel sad about AF coming, I find once I let my feelings out I feel sooo much more optimistic the next day. I fixed myself a couple of cocktails yesterday after work, something I won't be able to have when I'm PG & when I'm nursing. :)

hi 2 you all i hope u dont mind me reading all ur messages to each other but 2 tell u all the truth i feel so much better now i have i am in the same boat as you all i have been trying 4 a baby now for over 12yrs now . i am now on clomid just my first month and i was so sure i was pregnant this time as i felt so different then 2day my dreams fell apart no baby i feel so sad and alone untill now as i can see theres people out there just like me hope things go well 4 you all

Hi Krissie. Welcome. I'm glad reading this thread made you feel better. I'm glad you joined us. I'm so sorry about AF showing up. What a blow that was, I'm sure. There are definitely people with success stories their 1st time taking Clomid, but for most of us, it takes a while before we get pregnant. 12 years is a long time to try, but hang in there, hopefully it won't be much longer for you til you're pregnant. Good luck!

hey mega and kriessie.. for u mega. i am really glad to hear from u in such spirit , i am sure you are astrong person .. i just can imagine how ur personality looks like . for me .. nothings new just feel little cramps and lots of gases , my breast have been tough early this month but as i told you the interesting thing is that iam not expecting anything at all this month as iam starting over with a new doctor and new solutions maybe!!! i will be doing the test on saturday .. i wish it will be indicating that i have ovulated this month .. at least i will know that something is working naturally but just in case iam not .. that wont let me down cause i got used to the PCOS matter of fact. for you kriesse .. 12 years is along time , my fingers are crossed for you ,, pardon me for my curiosity but have u tried IVI or IVF .. did any doctors diagnosed you with certain problem??? and why u started clomid so late?? anyway ,, i wish u all the luck . Mega , longing to hear from u soon...

Hi Kotkot. Good luck on the progesterone test. I think it'll be fine, esp.
since you started growing that egg on your own this cycle. That's encouraging news. My u/s appt. today went well. I got the bump up to 150 mgs. of Clomid that I wanted & I'll be on the Estrogen patches too for my lining. My dr also agreed to do a lap in late Jan/early Feb if I'm still not pregnant, so I feel good about that too. You're right, it can take some time to get that BFP when you're seeing a new dr but that's a wonderful, proactive step in the right direction. Keep me posted on your progesterone test results. I'll keep my fingers' crossed for ya--toes too! Thank you, I try to stay strong, some days it's easy (like today), other days not so much. But I think we're all strong women here on this board, you too!

Hi everyone! I hope you don't mind me joining in. We have been ttc for 11yrs now. So Krissie, I know how you must be feeling. I am on my 3 round of clomid and going for my second IUI on the 23rd & 24th. Hopefully, this will be the month!! Good luck and baby dust to all!!

Welcome LSB! Good luck to you, too. Baby dust!

hey mega.. welcome LSB! well .. yeah it might take a few time .. i am praying god on every single moment that this will not last forever !! anyway even those 16 months seem to be the vevr for me . i will be going to the lab tomorrow at luch break so i will get the results as soon as i finish work .. i do not think that the progstron test take more than that to arrive with tests. anyways , i will prepare for an appointment with my doctor when the AF due this month .. so we can consider the tests results to know our next leap. anyways girls i have to tell you that this whole thing really hurts .. as i have told u mega previousely this is the only thing iam loosing control on it and i hope that god will be granted me for being that pateint. well .. for the clomid that's good .. i hope u will be doing fine this month . tell me what do u mena by the lap. this is anew thing to me!!! wish u all luck girls

Hi Kotkot. Good luck on the Progesterone test. You're right, they usually get the results back pretty quickly. It's tough not having control of our bodies, I don't deal well with the lack of control I have over getting pregnant either, but I know by going to the dr I'm taking back some control. You're doing the same thing. Remember that. A lap is short for laporosocpy (sp?), which is just
a minor surgery to see inside the pelvic region, check for endo, etc. Not fun, but I think it would be good to do. Have a great weekend!!!

hey mega
i just ahave arrived from the lab. they told me that the results will be ready by tomorrow .. well , let's waite alittle bit then we can know what's happeneing then . wish u best luck

I am on my 5th round of Clomid. I tend to be an obsessive tester, so I have set "rules" for myself. I refuse to let myself test until day 30 (normal cycle on Clomid is 32-33). I need your opinion though... Day 30 will be Christmas day. If it is the news I am hoping for, it will be the best Christmas present ever. However, if not, I will be a miserable wreck all day. Would you guys go ahead and test? Would you wait? I need some opinions other than my own! Thanks in advance.

hi mega and kj .. well the test result has arrived with 8.9 .. the indication key says that for luetual phase the normal range is from .95-21 i am not sure if the 8.9 is a strong indication for ovulation or not?? i will be waitting for the AF to show up so i can visit the doctor with the tests results and we will see what to do next... keep me posted mega, and for you kj ,,, after being disappointed several times i would waite for a 3-4 days absence after the due date .. just to be on the safe side of not being down . and never mind any circumectences .. be abrave woman and u will get that BFN one day!! wish u luck.

I JUST TOOK MY THIRD ROUND OF CLOMID

Hi ladies! KJ--if you do test on Christmas Day, & I can certainly understand your temptation, just remember if you do get that BFN it may just be too early. A BFP would be a lovely
Christmas present though, wouldn't it?
Kotkot--Your prog level is close to the level that's supposed to indicate ovulation. I've read condictory info on that too, some places say level 5 & above and others say level 10 & above. As hard as it is, I'd wait & see what the dr says. What CD are you on now? Hang in there. Hi Christina. What CD are you on now? I'm guessing you're in the dreaded 2 WW now? I finish my 5th round of Clomid tonight. What mgs are you on? Are you doing IUI with the Clomid? Good luck!
