L. and KK where have u been????

Hi all, well, still not looking good for me, I was wrong about my HCG levels dropping, they are rising, however are still low for 6 weeks and not rising fast enough. yesterday had some horrible cramping and spotting so had a sonogram done - looks as it I may possibly have a tubal pregnancy. Getting ready to go have more blood drawn, will see what is going on for sure. Will keep you updated. How is everyone else doing?

hello girls. for me .... i have switch to a new doctor, my first appointment was today and it was atotal surprise .. i decided this cycle not to take any medications .. the doctor scanned me and he figures out that there is a natural 16.5mm mature follicle !!!! i am totally surprised , i was told that i cant ovulate by myself and here we go .. a mature totally natural follicle !! anyways i have stepped out the clinic with a totally different perception of myself .. believe it or not i enjoy the idea that i can be just natural as everybody else... anyways , he told me to go for a progestrone test on CD22 and he can tell then for sure if i have ovulated or not!!! well , i have my hopes up now aftyer athreefailed cyclle. that's what happened so far.. i will keep u posted/
i am totally happy for u KK and i wish that the HCG will be increasing and increasing the joy on ur life ( if that hormone just knows how much it is important!!!!!) keep on touch

Hi, KotKot, that's great news about your follicle! Kk, hang in there and I hope your levels continue to go up and that you have a good dr. I keep checking this posting, but don't have too much going on. I'm on progesterone to induce my af so that I can get an hsg (the dye to see if tubes are blocked) on day 7-10 of my cycle. The weird thing is that I think I have af right now, but it's so light that I don't really know...or it may be from bd'ing? If it is my af, then I need to schedule the hsg and stop taking the meds. So kotkot, since you have a mature follicle, when do you think you'll o or start bd'ing? My dr. has never looked at follicle size.

hey L. well i think doctors may be soo stupid sometimes ( i have dealed with two doctors before my current and imagine that no one of them mentioned the progestrone tests ) my doctor was extremly surprised . anyway for ur question L .. i advice the following : ask ur doctor to closely monitor you with a vaginal sonogram (ultrasound) this is just one of the best methods to monitor how u respond to clomid..cant imagine that he/she didnt do that ! so how he/she checking if u were responding to clomid??? u must use all the possible checks to make sure that u are responding to clomid and that will help to figure out the dosage you need as i told u before . for the HSG .. i just got pregnant the first time right away after i did the hcg .. so keeps ur hope hig.. one advice try to take any kind of pain killers before going to the hsg it will help u to get over the pain after the operation is done . for me .. i have a 16.5mm follicle naturally induced .. the doctor prescribed me an injection to take it late this evening ..( it is to help releasing the egg .. i will be having an egg between 24 to 36hrs from taking the injection ) i used to take the injection at two of the previouse clomid cycles and i wasnt successful... anyway he adviced to bd on thursday friday and saturday .. hope that this will work this month .. i have to do a progestrone blood test on my CD22 to make sure that the thing we saw on the ultrasound was a mature follicel! u know that i became so much familiar with the ultrasound and today i recognised the follicle even before my doctor told me that it was there. anyway,...it was a surprise to know that something is working normal and natural... as i started looking at myself as being weird from every body else.
plz L keep us posted with the hsg and if u have question do not hezitate to ask! wish u luck

I get frustrated thinking that if I had a better dr. maybe I'd be pregnant already. It's hard to always be positive and think "there's a reason it hasn't happened yet" I wish my body would ovulate normally like most of my friends, they don't understand what I'm going through at all since they are like clockwork down there! thanks for letting me vent!! :)

hey L hopw u are well.. plz hold on there , all of ur thoughts are crossing my mind always .. this fertility thing start to ruin my life , today i had a big fight with DH , he wants us to join some friends ( all new parents) and i started getting teased from those mummy daddy events where all the people talk about kids and how they are raising them up. well , i took th einjection yesterday to release my egg .. we have bd todays morning and propably on the evening .. i just do not have any kind of expectations since i still cant believe that iam ovulating myself. well i think the progestrone test will proof that and i will be really reliefed to know whether i ovulated naturally or not. tell me about ur hsg?? did u do it or not yet>>> keep us posted

I totally hear ya kotkot about being around preg people, it's tough! I had lunch with a friend who is a week ahead of where I would be if I didn't have my m/c this summer. I still cry about it cuz I feel like it was something I did, like just doing too much in the beginning and not relaxing...but my dr. said I didn't do it cuz it was blighted ovum and there's no stopping that. It's easy to get hard on ourselves. I know I just need to wait till my appointment with the RE before I can really "give up." Kotkot, that's sooooo great you are o'ing on your own!!! :) I hope your egg releases and dh's men are there awaiting!! :)

i hope so .. wish u luck ! u havnt told me yet if u have done the hsg ?? i will keep u posted with my progestrone tests levels.baby dust

Nope, I haven't done the hsg. I will do it next week and will let you know how it goes! Busy day here at work so I better get back too it! How's everyone doing???

hey L wish u luck on the hsg .. do not forget to take pain killers before the hsg .. keep us posted. nothing new for me till the moment , waitting to do the progestrone test on saturday , i will keep u posted

where are u girls??

Hello ladies, sorry have not been on for awhile....well I did have a tubal pg...i was given a shot of methetrexate which is supposed to stop the cell growth and dissolve the pg. All I have to say is that I really hope none of you ever have to go through this....it is alot tougher than I thought it would be to miscarry. I think the hardest part was having to get the injection to make it miscarry, it would have been a little easier had it done it on its own. Now I am just bleeding and cramping and passing some really strange tissue and I just cannot wait for it all to be over with!!! We have to wait for one regular cycle to pass before we can ttc again, so we are probably looking at February before we can really think about it more. I am really wanting to start again, but I am scared to death of what will happen.... I hope everyone is doing well and I will check back later....I have just kinda been trying to not think about all of this too much so have not been on alot, or I just read what other people have to say....but I will keep in touch as will love to hear what is going on with everyone else!! Have a great Holiday!!

kk, sorry about your situation and I hope everything goes to plan, and that the pain subsides soon. Will be thinking of you! February will come quick and maybe taking a month off to pamper your body and mind will be enjoyable!

hi! The hsg was a little uncomfortable, but overall not too bad. It was nice seeing the results immediately. Everything is normal and the dr. said that if there was a block, the liquid removed it. How are you doing kk and kotkot? Anna, what's new? are you still checking??
