cycle buddies? CD5 and clomid?

Hi Bobbij- I am currently CD5 3round of clomid at 50mg CD4-8 because I had my prescription called in a day late. My 1st time I was taking clomid CD5-9 and I had a chemical and so I asked to be switch to CD3-7 I did last month but still no preggo. Its weird tho because I didn't really have a full flow and my cycle always last 3days. It was like I spotted moderately for 3days and on the 3rd day it started to fade away around lunch time so I don't know if its the clomid or what but I don't seem to have any issues with Ovulating and my progesterone has been 19.8-18-30 so I just don't know what is going on. I had the dr to check my ovaries for cyts or any polyps because I had a polyp removal in 2006 and I got preggo immediately after that and lost it at 10 weeks. and it took me 6months to get preggo again and I lost it 5weeks. I keep having my dr to check my ovaries because for over 10 years of TTC with my DH and never no one saw a polyp and I get mad sometimes because I keep up with my health and body and for no other dr to see this up until I went to a specialist in 2006. I blessed that I can get preggo but why is it not happening for me......

PeeJay,

Hi, and thanks for the post. I am sooo sorry about your losses. Just remember that god has big plans for all of us, and reasons for everything, even when we don't know them! :) Stay positive, and I can completely understand what u are saying about possible polyps or cysts. I have had both, I have had my left ovary removed due to a cyst that I had on it, as well as countless surgeries to remove cysts from my right ovary as well. After every surgery I feel soooo much better!!! and got preggo right away as well. So, this is my first round of clomid, and im on metformin as well, which seems to be helping. I go in tomorrow for a follicle screen, and see what dr. says then... I did O this month for the first time in a LONG time :) so goodluck to you and lots of babydust!

Thank you, goodluck to you too! :)

Hi Bobbi (Peejay and majuntch)- I'm cd5, on my third round of clomid. I was started on 100mg on my first cycle, but couldn't tolerate the side effects, so I dropped down to 50mg for the last couple of days that cycle, and have been on 50mg ever since. I O on my own, the doc is just hoping the clomid will give me an extra boost. We will see! I go in for my cd12 follie study next Friday, and hopefully there are piles of happy ripe eggs just waiting to be released! Good luck to all of you, and *babydust*!

majuntch...

Follie studies are necessary for IVF, certainly. They are optional of IUI and totally unneccessary for naturaly TTC.

Hi BobbiJ-

I am on CD 3 today, almost 4. I will be starting Clomid on CD 5 and going thru CD 9. I O on my own, but doc wants to use Clomid just as an extra boost. My progesterone level w/o meds was ok at 12.8, but it should be a little higher. I didn't use OPK's last month, but plan to this cycle...and also going for my 21 day blood test to check progesterone levels.

Good luck to you and all the other ladies here! Baby DusT!!

James, thanks for the goodluck, goodluck to you to and all of our other lovely fertility ties woman on here. They are all amazing! Do you usually get a follie test? or just the blood test to check progesterone?

Majun, I am new to the whole follie test thing. I go for my first in the morning, and am kinda scared, have no idea what it is, or if its really necessary, sure wished the dr.s nurse would have explained more, but she just scheduled it and that was that. I will be there at 8:30 in the morning. This is my first round of clomid, but I am on metformin as well. I have PCOS and have only my right ovary too, so this makes it all kind of hard to conceive... hoping for the best for tomorrow. GOODLUCK! :)
