Hi everyone! How is everyone doing? I had a predicition done by Cheri22, so I'm hoping she's right. Take care and Merry Christmas to everyone!!! Lot's of Christmas Baby Dust to all!

Hey Chele, what did your predicition say? Mine said that I would get pg this cycle with the IUI so I really hope she is right! Merry Christmas!

Babybaby, Hi and Merry Christmas! Here's what she posted.... kind of long but you may like reading these.... I enjoy reading others. Hi Michelle

Thanks for letting me know.. when it comes to your ttc, I am seeing a BOY and MARCH.. so this is either birth month, conceice month or thge month you find out in.

I am seeing someone who is very energetic, someone who is a bit of a curious type person and very much hands on. Likes to touch what he sees, look it over before putting it back gently. I think that you will find that your son loves water, loves to go swimming or having a bath, just playing in it, Whenever dishes needs to be done is right up there at the counter with you splashing away.

he has an adorable little giggle, and I see him with his hair being a bit "longer" ...not a short buzz cut. he is someone who is well spoken, prefers to use "grown up words" and will often refer to himself as "big boy" and not like any "baby talk". I think that you will find that alot of people mistake him for someone older.

he is someone with a very open personality, one who has great imagination and will have no problems keeping himself entertained and playing by himself.

You son is someone who although likes to have company, also doesn't mind if he is just by himself. Soemone who prefers smaller groups of people but on occasion will put up with ones that are larger. He is not a loud person himself, but seems to be okay with loud noises.

When it comes to career paths, they link your son as wokring with "planes".. they are the single ones, with the propellors in the front.. I am not sure if he flies them, fixes them or is just guiding them.. I just see the smalelr plane being started, but they are not showing me where your sron fits in with this.. its an older style plane, most likely just a one or two seater max.

When it comes to marriage, I see hm clsoe to 27, the will have one boy of their own.

let me know i fyou have any questions
Thanks
Cheri

hi girls
i dont know if you rmember me but if you look at above posts i've visited here before and come back for another visit, i was reading over the past posts and saw that some of you ladies are on injectables. well my last visit to fertility spec. they want me to try clomid 100mg and injectables and then ovidrel shot when my follies are at a good size. my question is what can i expect from theses shots, meaning side effects, pain involved in giving them to myself, actual possibility of them working on me and so forth. i've tried clomid in the past at 100mg and it didnt do anything to my follies, so will theses injecitons give me a better boost. i am having the frequesnt bw and u/s along the way, but trying to get prepared for what may lie ahead and get some advice from all you experienced ladies. also i am doing this route without iui, it wasnt even brought up as an option, how much does this cost, we were told we could try ivf but thats like 10-15,000 i cant afford, why wouldnt i try iui first. they have diagnosed my problem as not ovualting do you ladies have the same problem. also i'm curious how some of you got these physic predictions from cheri 22, please let me know. take care ladies

TANNER79, Welcome back. Well I think the other girls are better advice for the injectibles question, because I have them in the fridge but have to wait until the next cycle to start. As for the Clomid, I've never heard of someone taking Clomid and injectibles at the same time???? Especially if they didn't help you to begin with... Anyone else every heard of this? I ovulate on my own fortunately, and the Clomid worked for me but they found out I have an FSH issue (either quality or quantity of my eggs), but I still wouldn't think that an RE would start you on IVF before evening trying the IUI... I'm not a doctor but I would think they would take you the easier/less expensive way 1st just to try. Your RE didn't say that there were certain issues you have that would not work with an IUI and that's why he's mentioning IVF as a next step? Hmmm, i'm confused on that one. Ladys?

TANNER - I hope you don't mind me jumping in, but I am doing Clomid with Repronex injectables this cycle. I you taking Repronex. I'll also take the Ovidrel shot. As for what to expect, the injection itself is similar to the Ovidrel, the only difference is it stings a little and feels sore afterwards - but nothing major! I did this same thing 2 cycles ago, but had some hormone problems... so I am trying again this cycle. I was happy to read about someone else combining Clomid and injectables... I'd love to chat! Smiles and Babydust.... T

Chele, your prediction was so cute. I love reading everyone's prediction. Doesn't it give us hope? Good luck next cycle. tanner789, I agree w/ thayward7, your re should try 3 cycles of IUI first, at least, before suggesting IVF. I'm on my 2nd cycle of femara + ovidrel and 1st cycle of IUI. The ovidrel doesn't hurt at all. if you decide to do the IUI you should know that it is similar to a pap but you'll probably have some light cramping. You should ask your re because most doctors only prescribe injectables in conjuction with an IUI to really boost your chances. Cheri's e-mail is: [email protected]. Just e-mail her asking for info about your baby. Go to her website first and check the options that she offers for predicitons. She is great. I paid $6 and got so much info! You'll love it! website: http://www.angelfire.com/magic2/predictions/
Good luck!

heah girls now you have me nervous, i'm glad to know someone is taking clomid with injections, but you say you dont understand why they are doing it without iui, i'm not sure didnt really think to ask thats b/c she was so positive on this being a pretty aggresive option. as of right now we arent even considering ivf, so i will wait on asking about iui, she told us to try this clomid injection method for three monthes and if after that no repsonse we will discuss next game plan. so thayward how long have you been ttc? i'm glad i will have a buddy on here doing the same plan as me, are you having iui too. it would be nice to know thats they do this option without iui and it not being weird. i have to say i am glad i am not doing the iui just anohter expense i'd rather not have to worry about, maybe b/c dh's sperm is great they dont think they need that, for you girls that are doing the iui's did they ever explain why they are doing this for you? i do have to get your ladies opionion on something else, last tues the 19th i had this weird spotting, i guess what they describe as implantion bleeding would be like( now also remember i havent had a period on my own in 5 monthes) so on wed the 20th i had my dr appt and mentioned it to her she said she wanted to test blood work for pregnancy b/c it sounded like implantion bleeding and not another period since i had just had one nov 29(brought on only by provera) on thurs they called me and said it was neg. but starting on xmas eve i've been very tired, nauseated, upset stomach, and not able to enjoy shrimp on xmas eve like i would have like to without getting nauseated from it, i have waves of nausea still that come randomly, and my boobs are semi sore and feel full/heavy, also weird butterfly feeling in tummy too,do you think that its possible that the bw test could have been done too early considering the spotting was only the day before. i have heard stranger stories of peoples test coming back neg and finding later they were really preggers during a testing time, so what do you think? be honest, maybe i just have a bug too. also thanks for passing along cheri's info. talk to you soon

Hi Tanner, I guess different doctors have different approaches to things, it's just not something I've heard before (injectibles w/o IUI or IVF), but then again I had not heard of Clomid being used in conjunction w/ injectibles and there are two of you doing this. As for the IUI for me, my dh has a great sperm count, mobility, etc.. but sometimes they find that for many reasons they are unable to get to the cervix. By doing the IUI you eliminate that process, they inject the sperm right in to the cervix. As for your spotting question, I would think most definately that maybe they tested too early and your HCG levels were not high enough yet. I would probably go out to the dollar store and pick up a preg test and try it for kicks.... I'm not trying to get your hopes up or down, but the symptoms you described sound like pregnancy to me! Being that you had af in Nov, it is quite possible. Good luck to you! Keep us posted.

chele-thanks for responding i will wait a lil to get a preg test, b/c now today i didnt have any nausea so maybe i was sick and psyching myself up too, who knows. i dont know why i would have had the spotting though, that was by biggest clue, especially when she wanted to test me for pregnancy too. anyways i do have to have another blood test done on jan 2nd before i start provera again to induce my period and begin clomid and injectiables, so theres no way by then that the blood test will be worng, only time will tell, thought it would be a miracle if i did conceive b/c we werent thinking about it all this month, monitering ovulation, or anything, in fact i havent even had a period on my own in 5 monthes so how it would happen would only be a miracle by god-talk to you later

Hi Tanner, Oh I guess I misunderstood.... I thought you said you had a period in November.

chele- i did have a period in november but what i meant is i havent had one on my own without provera in like 5 monhtes, so i think that means i'm not even ovulating, so if i was preggers it would be weird, but i have heard weirder stories-never know

Hey there everyone, Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Just check back in. Had an IUI on the 24th and go back for first BW on the 31st to check levels...
Tanner... Just want to let you know I also did Clomid and Injectables and I also did Femara and Injectables with and w/o IUI.... I am now an straight injectables with IUI.

gmh-see this is what i dotn get okay we ttc for a year or longer and then we seek help form fertility drs and re's and we try all this stuff to help us ovulate, to get sperm in the right location and such, and still nothing, if were doing everything right, plus easier and better why can i t never happen for us? i'm so frustrated, our friends delivered their baby tonight and he was so cute, and i'm so damn jealous-it sucks and not fair. well i hope your iui goes well, let us know, i get tested tues for preg test and then hopefully can get provera and start this mess, i;m nervoius about those danf injectables :(

Hey there.... hope you all had a good New Year... Tanner, I totally get your fustrastion !!!! and the whole situation just stinks !!!!! But keep your head up and try to stay positive even though I feel like nothing positive happens.... As so the injectables... they really are not that bad !!! I HATE indeedle I mean pass out the whole nine yard... But I did it and it was nothing like I expected I fact it was alot easyer.... I think the only thing the is tough about injectable is the BW every 2 to 3 days and U/S. I have to drive 30min one way if I am lucky to get the my Dr. Well good luck .... I take it Tue test was not good???? Baby dust to all !!!!

gmh- i had the bw today was really thinking i had a chance, i was truly not thinking about it all and me an dh had sex whenever and then i started feeling ill, breaking out, extremely tired, and sore heavey boobs, and then today the bfn, well its okay because now that means i can take provera get my period here and start the clomid with injections. thanks for the support on the shots, i'll do anything at this point, i am very much dreading the u/s and bw every couple days especially with work b/c they dont understand or may not neccesarily think i need to do these things to get pregnant, at least thats what alot of people think anyhow. i'm not as positive about the clomid and injecitons working for me, b/c i havent heard to many people get bfp wihtout trying iui or ivf combined, i feel like these will just be another failed couple monthes. so how did your iui go and bw results? by the way may i ask how old u r? have a great day
