Dr. increased clomid...

[bamagirl]

Ugh! I have been ttc since August (2 m/c this year). I have had an appt. every 6 weeks since then. At yesterday's appt., I still had no o, BFP, or regular af after being on metformin for 2 months, estrogen for 3 months, and 1st round of clomid 50mg. Now, She has upped my clomid to 100mg for the next cycle. I am taking provera again to start af. (I was informed that I can take them 3 a day until gone to help speed things up a bit). I believe it is already working, because I have been really crampy today.

I am just so frustrated and want to cry. NO ONE (except for most of you)understands the frustration  of ttc when it seems as if everyone around you is announcing pregnancy while you have to take meds to even o or have af. Even in my job we have worked with at least 3 pregnant teens (18, 17, and 15!!) in the last couple of months.

I'm glad I can vent here without judgment. Any success stories with similar situations?

no success story here (yet) but I can relate!!  I just started first round of clomid last night - 3 m/c since last December, been on fortament since mid November and folgard/baby aspirin since the summer.  I work with one preggo and my SIL is days away from delivering #2 and she isn't even 20 years old yet!!!!!!!  It is sooo frustrating, but we are here for you and a lot of us are in the same boat.  At least you know you can vent to us anytime and you are not alone!  Good luck to you!  I'm feeling like good things are heading for me this year, I hope they are for you too!

I understand too.  I tried Clomid for 4 months, but no success.  We've been TTC for almost 2 years now.  I hope you have success with Clomid!  I'm about to start Follistim injections b/c the Clomid has thinned out my lining so much that there is no way implantation can take place.  A friend of mine who tried for all of TWO months told me yesterday "I understand what you're going through...I mean, those TWW's were awful, and timing our sex to match ovulation was grueling".  I literally walked off with my mouth dropped and didn't say a word.  I thought: the nerve of her to say that she understood what I was going through!  HA!!!!   So thankful for you ladies!!!!

Oh I can relate honey and proud to say that in the end with a little patience it all comes thru!  I have been ttc baby#1 for nearly 3 years with intensive fertility treatment orally and self injections due to pcos and no ovualation. The last oral tablet I took 4months in a row was clomid 150g 3 times a day but I still never o'd.  I was then placed on self injections of puregon and pregnyl and on the 3rd cycle of that I fell preggers but mc'd 9wks later.  on the next 3rd cycle from mc I had the worst time with the injections that the process to get o to occur was taking forever.  finally when i did i got a really bad overstimulation of both ovaries and was hospitalised with ovaries the size of (no joke) a football and cyst on top the size of plums and oranges!!!!!! then on top of all that I found out I was pregnant!  well will all that this bub has stuck and even tho I swore at the time I would NEVER go thru this nor wish this upon anyone, to hear my peanuts hb and see it stomp its feet about and be totally healthy, it is all worth it in the end.  I am 19wks today and belive me when you have had one mc and such a scare like I did at the begining of this pregnancy you never relax.....I think my exhale of relief will come when bub in safe in my arms.

Never give up, even when you think you have done all you can do, a miracle could be lurking around the corner!
