my journey...

April 25, 2008

well, i have been ttc since february...but I am really going to start counting from may. :)

I went to the dr earlier this month (april) and apparently I don't ov. I am back on bcp to get my period and she put me on metformin as well. Once I get my period, I will start clomid days 3-7! Yikes!

I am SOOOO excited and I am surprisingly optimistic! I am usually a little more "glass half empty!"

I am having some side effects from metformin, mainly sick to my stomach, but also extremely thirsty!

I am very nervous about the clomid side effects!

Here's hoping to a first round pregs!!!



I will update anyone who is interested on the progress, the hurdles, etc...i am usually a very open book!

However, I am having a hard time talking about this with friends because some aren't ttc and others don't really understand the medicine part!

my twin sis went through the same thing i am now for baby #1 (and baby #2 was an unexpected fun surprise!)so i can talk to her too.

Anyway, I am here to learn, share, and hear what everyone else is going through!

Babydust to all!

HELLO and welcome!!

Sorry to hear about having trouble with ovulation, glad to hear that you are more positive than usual. I always get excited and feel more positive when I begin a new treatment. Don't be too nervous about the Clomid side effects. Some women don't experience any, I had headaches and was moody with a lack of patience but nothing that was worth not giving it a try. I have been ttc for about a year now with unexplained infertility, I will begin injections next cycle. It's nice that you can talk about this with your sister because it is hard for others who aren't going through this to understand how it really makes us feel. I'm lucky that I have a few friends who know exactly what I am going through and of course everyone on here is a big help (hubby is too :O) Lots and lots of luck to you--sending you *********BABY DUST**********

On day 1 today...i have been on metformin for about a month. I start my first round of 50mg of Clomid on Sunday morning! I am REALLY hoping to get a BFP on the first shot! ha! ...patience is not a virtue i have when it comes to conceiving! :)

May 27, 2008

How are things going with you and ttc? :O)

May 29, 2008

thanks for asking Jen!! I did the first round of clomid this month...no side effects during, but really sad and moody for a couple days after. Today is cd 21 and i never got a +opk :( I am really sad about that, but trying not to get too down about it! There's always next month, right!?

How about you???

June 11, 2008

hi babyque!I was just reading your story I hope clomid and metformin works for u.Do u have pcos?I have pcos got pregnant but miscarriage at 10 weeks now my doctor find out I am insulin resistance and put me on metformin

June 13, 2008

I don't know if I actually have PCOS or not...my hormones tend to be normal, but I don't ov on my own, and I get cysts!

Good luck Livia! Hopefully the metformin will help out this time!

BabyQ...just wanted to let you know that I am so sorry for your loss. I hope things look up for you soon.

July 10, 2008

Thank you Trying! I was just looking back at this post...I was really positive about a 1st round preggers- and I got it, but lost it :( I should have been more specific... :)

July 10, 2008

Thanks TTCwIUI! I actually did get pregnant on 50mg of clomid, but we miscarried. I am now waiting to be able to try again, but it may be several months :(

Good luck to you!

August 18, 2008

Baby Q--just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you. I hope you are doing well and getting ready to TTC again.

September 15, 2008

Babyquestions-just checking on you. Have you ovulated yet?

September 16, 2008

thanks for checking jeri! NO! i haven't and i am so discouraged! :(

September 16, 2008

babyquestions- that stinks :( . I hope it happens soon. Keep me posted!!

September 19, 2008

update: i think i o'd yesterday (cd 21)??? but DH is out of town. i am so bummed!

September 19, 2008

babyquestions- I am glad you O'd, but I am sorry DH is out of town. :( My DH is on call 24 hrs a day, 7 days week. He will be gone 24-48 hrs at a time. So I am worried that when I "O" he will be gone. Makes this so much harder. He was here this month and I am 8 DPO, so I am hoping for the best because next month may be a different story. Were you able to get any "fun" in at all 2-3 days prior to "O"? I sure hope so because that gives you a chance.

September 19, 2008

3 days before...but i think that would give it a slim chance! thanks Jeri and good luck when you test in a couple days! keep me posted on the outcome!!

September 20, 2008

I'm sorry BabyQue... how are you hun? I hope all is well and I wanted to let you know, I was thinking of you and you will have BFP's very soon. Stay positive. Take this time when DH is away and relax as much as possible and rest. When he gets home bd lol just for fun. I just know you be have great news in due time. Baby Dust.

September 20, 2008

BabyQ.. hey hun! I happy to hear that u did O but sorry to hear that DH was not home. Sperm can live up to 5 days in the right conditions so lets hope that u CDed be4 he left and that the conditions were right and u got the egg this month.

If not then there is always next month hun even tho we all dont want to hear that. At least u know what has been going on with u and its all getting fixed now so in a matter of time u will get that BFP!!!

September 21, 2008

Thanks Katie and Ashmcc! I am not even SURE that i o'd. opk's don't really work that well on me and i have a slight shift in my temps, but i don't think its enough...ug.

anyway, i am going to meet with an RE next week. but my insurance won't cover any of it!

September 21, 2008

Hey babyQ how long after your m/c did you get your first AF? Or did you count the bleeding from the m/c as CD1? How do you do that?

November 24, 2008

November 24, 2008
