Combined Protocol ... Any suggestions!?!?!?

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:00:18 -0500

These are the doctors suggestions:

We've decided on a combined protocol...

CD1 - Call doctor to inform him AF is here.

CD2 - Baseline B/W

CD3 thru CD7 - Clomid 150mg

CD8 - General U/S (RE loves seeing the fact that my follicles dont grow)

CD9 thru CD12 - (2) 75iu of Gonal-F a day.

CD12 - Start using OPK

CD13 - U/S to measure follicles for any growth.

RE doesnt really think this will work (since Ive been on clomid for so long) but i wanna give it a try and DH insist this will work. He said if this doesnt work they i have to stop being stubborn and do the full injection cycle :-(

Love my RE. He's very patient with us.

***The Twist: the tricky part is that he is not giving me a HCG injection with the combined protocol. He says that Im too tiny and young(like i didnt know that) and DH has a very good sperm count so he doesnt want to many babies in their.

Sorry for this being so long... question is... since i ovulate on clomid but my folllicles dont get big, will the FSH injection help? even without the HCG?

He said start OPK on CD12, when i used clomid 100mg on cd3-7 i dont ovulate until cd21 and when i do it on cd2-6 i O on cd16, so will the fsh earlier if combined with clomid in a higher dose?

They is driving me nuts.

Please help!!!

Do you still think that I can get pregnant?

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:38:42 -0500

Five years ago I had a DnC. Then almost 2 years ago I had a Colposcopy. My pap smears came back abnormal. My doctor said everything was fine and I could try to get pregnant. After a year of trying my doctor put me on clomid and I did that for 2 cycle. Didn't ovulate on the first cycle of clomid, not sure about the second. I was in the process of moving. My new doctor looked at my charts and is sending me to see a specialist because of my abnormal paps. I had to stop the clomid. I have a history of irregual periods and and paps. Do you think that there is a chance that I can ever get pregnant, or should I get use to the fact that I might have to adopt.

Desperately trying to conceive HELP!!

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:51:26 -0500

Hi Ladies, I have a silly question to ask, how accurate is a pregnancy test done at home? Will all pregnancy tests show a pos or neg every time on your due date? I’m told that some women don’t produce enough hormone for sometime, is this true? And how many days / weeks will it take for some women to produce enough hormone for a home pregnancy test to pic up?

If it takes a long time to produce the pregnancy hormone, does this mean that its not going to be a successful pregnancy?

Cyst ruptured & PERIOD????

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 11:46:33 -0500

okay well i commented bk to Dr. Eva when she stated that if my cyst ruptured i should be getting a period soon. Well i went to hosp sept 10 & 16th. From both visits doc concluded i was not preg & i had a possible acute ruptured cyst due to free-filled fluid in my ab. MY LMP was July 9. Well after i was released on the 17th (b/c they didnt finish til 6am) & got home my period came, OR SO I THOUGHT! I say this b/c I bled HEAVY HEAVY & had CLOTS & CRAMPED really BAD for 2 days, but when i woke today, Sept 19th, there was nothing. Could that have been a reaction to the rupturing or could i have had some type of ectopic, chemical, tube, or some type of pregnancy & it just wasnt showing up? Why did i bleed HEAVY for just 2 days? I did have all signs of preg (fatigue, slight nausea, weight in hip area, perky nipples, craving ice cream & bagels, bloat, minor cramps for like 5 weeks) but hpt & hosp urine said neg, I dont get it. When i get pelvic exam do i need to ask doc to check tubes & ovulation or should they be able to tell on their own when they check me? Please Help!!!

Soon to be trying to get pregnant

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:24:00 -0500

My boyfriend and I will probably be trying to get pregnant within the next 6 months. I would love to be pregnant now... :) Anyways, I have been on birth control since I was 17 years old. We had went out of town on the 6 and 7 of Sept. and forgot to bring my pills, so I skipped 2 and we had intercourse, so its been about 10 days and Im not due for my period for a week, and Im spotting. But the blood looks different than period blood. Could I have gotten pregnant? Would I be able to tell with a test at this early stage?

What are the odds of having another baby?

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:35:00 -0500

I have miscarried 5 times and carried one. (So I have been pregnant 6 times.) One of my miscarriages was a tubal and the doctor removed my left fillopian tube. I still have both ovaries and my right fillopian tube. The doctor told me after the tubal that my 'female parts' look great and that I am fully able to get pregnant and carry children. I don't think I can have another child, but my doctor says otherwise. I just miscarried my fifth baby last week. My husband and I have been together for 8 years and have never used a condom. We thought that his sperm was broken, for lack of a better term, but now I think it's me not being able to carry a child. My grandmother had 6 kids with 3 miscarriages so she should have had 9 kids. My aunt lost one when she was 8 months along. So I guess it kind of runs in the family. My monthly periods are hell for me. I bleed alot with alot of pain. I have had tests done to see if I have endemitriosis, cysts, or anything else that can be causing this and all the tests come out fine. Do you think that I am or am not able to conceive again and carry full term?

Trying to Conceive

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:19:11 -0500

Me and my husband have been ttc for over a year now. My doctor referred me to a fertility specialist. We got so excited and hopeful, but when we found out how much the treatments cost, we decided we had to wait. (my insurance does not cover infertility treaments)

I've had irregular periods since I can remember, and that's the only thing wrong with me. I am on Provera for this month, so far so good. What could be my next step after Provera? Do you recommend fertility meds like FertilityAid and FertilityBlend? Please help!

Hi,I am 28 yrs old and my husband is 33 yrs old.For five years we used condoms when having sex.Now from 4 months, we are trying to conceive.Pregnancy tests result is negative.I am worrying so much.How long we have to try, before we see a doctor. My menstrual cycle is 29 days long and very regular.I have a doubt...Before we tried to conceive, for 1 month continuously I used pain relievers for my back pain. May this affect my ovulation? Will that is the reason I am not getting pregnant? If so, What medication I have to take? Pls suggest me. How long we have to try to conceive?

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 22:12:56 -0500

If I was using an OPK and got a positive mid-day last Tuesday, when will I beable to test? I am on cycle day 30. Tomorrow will be 31 and still no period but I ovulated late in my cycle so would it be too early to test for pregnancy?

Trying to conceive and having weird symptoms

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:19:58 -0500

I am 25 years old. I had my first child at 19 who is now 5. So its been a while since I experienced the pregnancy signs. However, my husband and I have been trying to conceive for 8 months now with no luck. It took me 1 year and 6 months to get pregnant with my daughter. Every month we are hopeful with no luck. However, I just got off my period 2 1/2 weeks ago and have started having weird symptoms. They include, really bad mood swings (happy, mad, crying and never knowing which one at which time is going to come out), urinating a lot more frequently, cramping as tho I am fixing to start my period (I have actually went to the bathroom on several different occasions thinking I had started again), chills, queasy feeling off and on, I can't get enough sleep.. I know there is something going on with me because this is not normal for me. I am just wondering could it be pregnancy? I have never experienced these signs before. Please help thank you

So I finally got my period but...?

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:09:02 -0500

So for those of you who have been helping me thanks so much! I got my period after 8 months of no period post baby! Yay! We want to try again right away now cause it took us awhile with our first. But, I got my period on Aug. 6th and still have not ovulated...I have been using the ovulation sticks since the day after my period ended. Do you think I will not ovulate this month or should I keep using the sticks? Is it common not to ovulate your first few cycles after nursing?

Good Newsssssss!!!!!!!

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:00:42 -0500

Hello everyone,

Couple months ago I post it about trying to conceive for about 2 years. And I was complaining about my lower abdominal pain and my Doctor thought that I could have endometriosis.

Anyway, she did pelvic ultrasound and the results were negative so she wanted to do laproscopy but I want it to wait bec. she wasn't sure what it was.

And I"m glad that I did bec. I recently found out that I'm 2 month pregnant. I"m soooo happy. I wish you all the best. I learned that I just had to be patient and let it happen whenever. Take care,

Saarah :)

need some encouragment..

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 05:09:30 -0500

hello ladies here i am agian updating but i am confused. I am sopose to start in 2 days.

so i still have not had any af cramps yet like i usally have a week before and all those symptoms i usally have when i wish to be pregnant so bad that i talk myself into having them i also do not have.

But here i am trying so hard not to get my hopes up when everything is soo different this time. My Nipples are so sore i HAVE to wear a bra to bed and i can barly lay on my tummy without being in pain when i slighty move. i am so supper sesitive to smell i threw up 2 times from the smell of cheesesticks. and i love cheesesticks. things do not taste the same anymore, things i usally want like ice cream has a dull taste to it. my feet and legs are sore and most of all my back is tender and my hb gave me a massage but it didnt feel better. it kinda feels like it needs to be streched out but if i bed over my acid reflex is so bad i can feel it burn all the wasy up to my mouth.

i need some love ladies, i really want this month to work out for us.
