Hi Liane,

Firstly l wish you baby dust.

My friend had somehow similar experience but hers is that she micarried in March 2007, since then her period siezed. her doctor told her not to worry, becuase she was able to detect her ovulation.

surprisely she took in July 2007 without restarting her period, but unfortunately miscarried again this month. This is a sad story, but intend to tell you that you are not alone, you will sure have the babies of your choice.

Thanks for the support. I appreciate it.

Hi Liane,

I would like to start by saying good luck and baby dust.

I can relate to you, my husband and I have been TTC a second child for 6 months according to my doctors records. Off the record we have been doing the BD for a year, with no result.

I just want to let you know to keep a positive mind set and prayer is everything. I hope that everything works out for you with the clomid. Who know maybe you will have twins.

Liane, we really are on the same boat...well at least, I was a year ago. Like you, I was also on Provera for 3 cycles to help regulate my cycle, but to no success. Before my doc gave me Clomid, I was also worked up (tons of blood work) and had an ultrasound also. Everything came back normal and my ultrasound at that time showed a hemorrhagic cyst in my right ovary. That did resolve by itself as soon as I got my period that month (with Provera). Then I started on Clomid last June. You are young and you still have a lot of healthy eggs waiting to be released. It's too early to lose hope. I agree, prayer is a big thing. I am somewhat religious and I believe that when it's God's time, THERE IS NO STOPPING IT from happening. But it is hard to mix science and faith, isn't it? hehe! I also just started doing BBT last cycle, and YES, it helped a lot! It took a great deal of discipline to take my temperature around the same time everyday. I set my alarm clock at 7:30 a.m. every morning, even when it's a weekend where I can sleep in, I still wake up at 7:30 to take my temperature (even when I'm half asleep while taking it). I can see a much clearer pattern since I have been taking it around the same time every day.

So, keep hoping, keep trying and have faith that it will happen. I have read very inspiring stories from another forum. There are women who go through a lot of failed IVFs, and just when they think they don't want to do it anymore because they don't have money to do the procedure, they get pregnant naturally. I will try my very best to relax and not to think about baby-making. That might do the trick. :-)

Thank you ladies. I appreciate the kind words or encouragement.

i WAS PUT ON PROVERA BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE MY PERIOD FOR 3 MONTHS AND A HALF .. found out i have PCOS, goo dthing was there were no bumpy things in my ovaries, i'm just hormonally imbalanced, so took provera and had my period after 3 dyas of taking 10 pills. I finished my clomid too which i took for 5 days starting 2nd day of period...Hoping to have BFP early next month!!

Wishing you the best of luck, im in the same boat as you are. Except I do have the bumpy things all over both my ovaries, it looked like a bee hive in there, from the ultrasound...it was crazy. The nurses kept saying here are all your eggs, they didnt even tell me it was PCOS...I was excited at first, and then was like oh ok, thats not good. Then did research.

Hoping to get my period in the next day or 2...best of luck Nette and everyone else out there!! Im thinking about all of yall!!!!

I wish u the best, I am to ttc#1 I have pcos with the bumpy cycts on both of my ovaries, ttc for 4 years now is getting frustrating, I no how you feel and what ur going threw, I am currently taking clomid and metformin to conceive

baby dust to you and everyone ttc

Is this your first time with Clomid, Keysfergy??

I too have PCOS, but just found out August 20th of this year. We have been trying since March, but of course then we didnt know about the PCOS, just knew my periods were all out of wack, and then knew that in July (when I started OPKs, that I didnt ovulate). Then went for a normal Pap, and got put in ultrasound because the doc felt a cyst, then found out that just like you have all the bumpy cysts on both ovaries.

They told me to call them a few weeks later and let them know if I had started my period and if I ovulated, since I hadnt ovulated at all since the whole time we have been trying.

I called them when it was CD45, and no period. They put me on Prometrium to induce my period, and then Clomid to help me ovulate. Im not on CD10, and finished Clomid Saturday (CD8). Im just praying soo much that I ovulate, and have high hopes.

I wish you the best sweetie, because 4 years is a long time. I feel like 6 months is forever. My heart goes out to you sweetie!

Please keep me posted!

LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF*B*A*B*Y*D*U*S*T*

Hi girls! I'm still BDcing....I won't stop until October 13th, which would be a day after my expected AF...Then I would be testing if I did get pregnant...I hope that by October I'd get that BFp~!!!

Did you end up getting a + OPK Nette?

This is how things have been going on my journey since I last update...Ok....here it goes:

I went to see the OBGYN yesterday and even after showing her my BBT charts for the last couple of months and telling her I haven't been getting postives on OPKs she refused to RX provera or clomid. She told me that she would rather see me conceive naturally even if it takes 5 years....I was devastated. She told me that if I would like she could refer me to an infertility clinic somewhere else where they could check to see if my tubes are blocked and check my husbands semen. I thought this was jumping the gun seeing that I haven't even tried clomid yet.

Anyway basically she told me that I was risking a lot by going on Clomid and that if I forced a pregnancy on my body that I would regret it because Clomid has huge side effects and I may not be able to have children on my own ever again naturally after. She told me that if I was looking for a doctor to hand out RXs whenever a client asked that I better find someone new. She said that she believes in everything natural from conceiving to giving birth to breastfeeding. Right at this point a huge red flag was waving in my head saying that is it enough.

So, she told me that if I wanted an RX to go find it somewhere else. As you can imagine I was really hurt and felt like I have been lied to for the last 2 months. 2 months ago when I first when to go see her she told me feel that she would put me on clomid. Now I have just wasted my time. I don't know what happened....

So, I decided to call my regular physician and I was able to get in to see him yesterday as well. I explained to him my frustration and that I feel it is time for me to try Clomid. I think after 7 months of no ovulation I don't think I am being unreasonable. All my blood work is fine and so is my ultrasound. I have an aunt who only ovulates 2X per year so maybe I am like her.

Anyway, he told me that he was going to consult with a new OBGYN in another city. Rather than making me wait 4 months to get in to see the OBGYN my doc will treat me himself. He said he will have to do extra monitoring but he is more than willing to do that. He asked that I go back to see him on October 10 to give him sometime to work out an action plan for us to execute. He said he would like to start by inducing a period with provera then proceeding on to take Clomid with a progesterone supplementation. He promised me that on October 10 he would be handing over some RXs to give my husband and I a chance.

The OBGYN I saw told me that by using clomid that she will have to use a vacuum to get my baby out and that I have a good chance of an ectopic pregnancy and that I may develop overhyperstimulated ovaries that will be the size of grapefruits..... I am so frustrated, confused, excited and scared all at that same time. I spent a lot of my day crying yesterday because I felt so lost..... I really don't know what is the truth. She made me feel scared to try Clomid as if it was evil or something. Dr.Q told me that there is a little to no risk with using Clomid and I also went to visit a pharmacist who told me the same thing. I am hoping and praying that Clomid is all my husband and I will need to achieve and maintain a pregnancy. Wish me luck.....!

Liane, You POOR THING! Your OBGYN does not sound very patient friendly! I am glad that you decided to go to your normal doctor to see if he could handle it. If that doesn't work, then I suggest you find another OBGYN. I feel so bad for you! I know that now you must feel relieved knowing that they are going to give you Provera and then Clomid. Please keep us posted, you are in my prayers! Good luck to you and your husband.

Thanks Jen I appreciate that...it means a lot!

Liane,

I am so upset right now! You need to get a new obgyn and never go back to her again. She needs some serious lessons on bedside manner with her patients!!! I trust Dr. Q. 100% and if he prescribes chlomid to his patients then I'm positive it is safe! I really cannot believe that lady!!!! I would have walked out right then and there and told her I will gladly find another doctor, and one that has compassion for his/her patients!!!

Sara- I TOTALLY AGREE!!! UGH!

Thanks girls. I almost did walk out on her but I was so shocked...I left there speechless. Now I am glad that I have my GP taking care of things. I trust him and know that he unlike her will stick to his word. Thanks for the support.
