Summer IVF Buddies

[rachjas0623]

Anyone want to join? DH & I have been trying since 3/08. Preggos once after doing Ferma, trigger & IUI. Sadly, we MC at 5w6d. Now we are moving on to IVF. I am currently taking BCPS (5/19-6-8). I will be starting Lurpon Tuesday (6/2). We are doing the long lupron/luteal lupron protocol. I would love to have some cycle buddies!

4everwealth- Well, I actually start Lupron on Tuesday. That is used to stop me from Ovulating. I will stop that right before I trigger (used to make you ovulate). A lot of people refer to the injections that stimulate your eggs... as stimming. I start that around 6/15. That call last from 8-12 days... it depends on how you react.

I wish I could afford IUF

Currently hoping that Clomid will help.........
Here's my situation........


I have been trying to conceive with my fiance of two years for almost 18 months now! I have unknown infertility problems. I just finished up my first time use of Clomid! I have not had any side effects from it and I am now ovulating. Today is cd 14 and I am ovulating...this is normal for me. I get my period every 28 days and most time ovulate on day 13 or 14, usually 14.

Is there anything that you can recommend for me to do while ovulating?

The doctor is thinking of increasing my dose of Clomid from 100mgs to 150mgs if this cycle is not sucessful...does the higher the dose produce more eggs?
Also I read somewhere that the higher the dose of Clomid you are on the higher your chances are for twins or multiples.
I was told that since I do not have a family or personal history of twins that my chance is around 10%...but will that 10% increase if my dosage of Clomid increases.
I don't care if I have triplets (as long as all the babies and myself stay healthy), I just want to prepare myself for that chance. Also, I have two other children
to previous partners, ages three years old and seven years old.
My partner has two kids to previous partners and they are ages 12 and 8, we just can NOT seem to even get pregnant to one another.
I heard that prior births could cause twins to occur whie using Clomid. Is that true?
Sorry for the million questions, today is Sunday, so my doctor is NOT open or I would call. My doctor is NOT monitoring me except for me to come in on cd 22 for and altrosound to see if I am pregnant. Thanks for ANY answers you can give me.

Hello ladies, DH & I have been ttc for 9 yrs. male factor/mild PCOS. Last March had an eptopic pregnancy. 1st IVF this past May (unfortunally BFN), 2nd IVF with start of next AF should put my ER around end of June, ET around beginning of July. Best of luck ladies, have any questions feel free to ask.

[rachjas0623]

boyjoy777- I am excited to start the lurpon. I still have several days until stimming, but at least I get to start something... tmw. DH & I also start Doxycycline (antibiotic). He is not looking for to that.

fairyzduzt- It seems like you are just behind me. ER for me is around 6/25. ET is 7/1.  Are you trying a new protocol this time around?

[fairyzduzt]

Go back to RE on 6/6 but when the nurse called she said that we could try again with my next cycle if we were ready. (My DH couldn't understand why we couldn't start right away since my AF started right on time) So I won't know if we will try a new protocol till then. I would say it will be the same I responded well 6 retrived, 4 fertilized, 3 transfered, & 1 frozen. My sister got her BFP on her second IVF, so hopefully we get our BFP this time around. Keep me posted.
