Cycle buddies

[Heather5]

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd start a thread for anyone who'd like to join me in obsessing, venting and sharing this cycle. For all my cycle buddies from previous threads, I hope to hear from you...and I'd also love to welcome any new TTC friends!

Here's where I'm at this month. I'm CD10 today and have my CD12 sonogram on Friday. Just like last cycle, I took femara days 3-7, and a 75 IU shot of menopur on days 3, 5 and 7. Hoping to do an IUI this weekend.

Here's to a "fruitful" holiday season with lots of BFPs!!!

mwhitcomb- Thanks so much for your kind words.  Yes that doctor was awful.  But it's over now.  We are starting clomid tonight now!  My dr. called and said to take it before I go to bed to help with the nausea it gave me last month.  I'm hoping that it works this month.  I'm trying to stay positive. It's hard because everyone around me is getting BFP's.  But what can I do?  At least the work day is almost over for me!  Just 15 more minutes and my weekend officially starts!!!

Hello ladies!  Hopefully everyone is having a good beginning to the new year. My RE recommended me to do accupuncture with this cyle since it does increase blood flow to the ovaries and such....it's sooo relaxing and would recommend it to everyone.   I also just found out, by my accupuncturist that Gonal F helps you produce less eggs, but higher quality.  I guess that made complete sense to me, considering with Follistim I had produced 21 eggs and 17 fertilized, but the quality of the eggs were not great.  So anyhow, just thought that was good information to share with all of you.

mrspace24:  I too have PCOS.  Was diagnosed about 3-4 years ago.  So trying to conceive has been a nightmare, but that will change this month....fingers crossed.  I couldn't help, but read about your doctor's visit....what a jerk!  Anyways, I hope everything works out for you. sending lots of BBD :~)

Oh, I see! Well, I'm glad everything is looking good now then. Must have been pretty scary to be bleeding for that long. Hopefully clomid will do the trick for you so you can get your BFP soon!

Well, my period started Jan 2nd after I had a miscarriage on Dec 27th, last year.  The period got real heavy then never stopped.  Lots of bad clots. So i finally got in to the doctor. They tried putting me on a ton of bc pills.  Nothing worked.  So finally they told me I could try another 3 months of pills or have surgery.  Obviously I chose surgery.  It had already been 6 months and I was badly anemic.  When she got in there for my D&C, she found that I had a BUNCH of damage and scar tissue from my previous miscarriages that my previous dr never took care of.  That's why we are trying for a baby right now.  Our new dr doesn't know how much longer my body will be able to carry a child full term.  She did what she could and she said that right now my uterus is healthy enough to carry full term.  Just...as I get older it's just going to get worse.  So that's why we're on clomid.  Well.. that and I have PCOS.  I was diagnosed about 2 months ago.
