Hello Ladies!!

It's so nice to have such a wonderful group of women on here, and so many of you are so close together this cycle.

I'm going to start the roll call and then you can all chime in with where you are at in your cycle and what you are doing/did this time around.

Good Luck to all!

I'm waiting on my IVF cycle. We have done our pre-requisite blood work, and I've had an(other) HSG. This Thursday we have an IVF info session to attend and then we are ready to go when ever the clinic can fit us in. I'm hoping that it won't be too long of a wait.

Luck and hugs to all!

Hello!
We have been TTC our first for about 18 months. I have PCOS, ovulated on my own, but not at regular intervals. DH has nothing to worry the doctor, but slightly less than perfect motility and morphology.
This is our second Clomid cycle and it was 50mg on days 3-7. I also take 1,000mg of Metformin daily for the PCOS. I am currently 5DPO with nothing exciting to report.
Good Luck to everyone!

DH and I have been at it for three years and a couple months. My left fallopian tube is blocked and I don't ovulate on my own, which makes getting pregnant hard. Then when I do get pregnant, I miscarry and we're still trying to figure out the cause of that. I've had three miscarriages.

This is cycle number 30 something for me. I don't really count anymore. This month we're doing IUI #2 with 150 mg Clomid. I'll start my first pill today or tomorrow.

Darian, I wish I had a tip or trick for you. There isn't much to do to help an IUI that I've discovered. My doc did tell me to BD also, the night after the procedure, so I guess that might help. I wish there were magic words to say to increase chances :)

Hi All!

I'm currently CD 29, took clomid on cd 3-7 and IUI on cd 19 (OPK+ was on CD 18). Started experiencing dull cramps on 7dpiui and also doing acupuncture!

This is my second round of clomid and experienced aches from both ovaries and they were super sore for a few days up until ovulation. Normally, only my right ovary would ache prior to ovulation.

I hope we get our sticky bean and baby dust to all!

Hi ladies Im 29 and my DH is 38. I have PCOS and Im trying for my second. I have a 4 1/2 yr old lil girl that was conceived thru my 1st marriage annd thru Follistim injections and IUI. I did get pregnant 1st in 2005 and lost the baby at 18 weeks. Then did the procedure in 2008 and had my lil miracle. She was born at 25 weeks, weighting 1lb 1 oz. Then when she turned 2 I had a big change around in my life when I got divorce and lost 60 lb I menstruated every 31-33 days which I never never did before. Now im with a new person and we have been trying for 2 months as this is the second month we are trying Clomid. I ovulated last month just no BFP so lets see this month.

Best of luck to all you ladies... : )

I am 31 and DH is 36, been TTC since Nov 2011, had 2 MMC. All physical tests are clear for both but I have low progesterone. Specialist wants me to take Clomid and progesterone this month. Currently on CD3 and on second day of clomid as taking it CD2-6. Only side effects are the odd chills which last 1-2 hours and a headache after taking it which lasts an hour, feel very lucky. Due to go on holiday next week which falls right on ovulation so hoping a bit of sun, sea, sand and ......BD !! will do the trick.

Hi Ladies! I'm 41 and DH is 41 also! DH has an 18 year old son, but I'm TTC #1. We have been trying since May/June of 2012. I'm currently 13 DPO, but not feeling very good about this cycle given my BFN with a FRER this morning. I also have been spotting for the last 2 days. My temps are still above the coverline, but I don't 'feel' pregnant and I feel that I've been preggers 3 times now and now I know the 'feeling.' I'm also on progesterone, so that may be elevating my temps. Since I O'd 13 days ago, I'm thinking AF may arrive tomrorow - we'll see....

If I'm not pregnant this cycle, my RE (note: this will be my my first cycle under the supervision of an RE), is going to put me on Clomid and use a trigger for O. We plan to do timed intercourse, but I'm thinking about doing a IUI instead - depending on the cost. I am 41 and don't have a lot of time and would love to have 2 children. With DH and me being so old, I would like for them to have each other when we are long gone.

If anyone has suggestions regarding TI or IUI - Just let me know. I just want to be knocked up already!

I just got back from my baseline appointment and we didn't move Clomid dose up. We kept it at 100 mg and added a shot of 150 mg Bravelle on CD 9. She said that would help increase number of follicles hopefully better than increasing Clomid. Sometimes higher dose of clomid doesn't always mean more follicles. So we'll see!

Hello ladies! I hope you don't mind me joining in your forum. I have hypothyroidism and PCOS. I do ovulate on my own but very very late into my cycles. Like this cycle I am on cd 57 and last cycle no O until CD 61. I just had an appontment and my doctor will do and HSG IF my af EVER shows up. I am thinking about speaking to him about either provera or a month on BC to jump start my next af into a normal cycle length. so I can start clomid IF the hsg shows no blockages or any abnormalities. I"ve seen from other ladies that clomid will make me O later than normal. Is this true???? I was thinking maybe if there is no other problems like pcos. I was hoping with since I have so many issues that the clomid will make me O sooner than later. I am hoping to start clomid next month!!!!!!
