Intro (loss mentioned)

Hi, I'm Kayla, I'm 26. DH and I have been TTC since May 2012.

Last summer I got all the testing done while my DH was about to come home from deployment so we get a jump on things (TTC'd for a year before he left). We did two cycles on clomid. No testing or follicles or whatever - that's never been an option offered to us.

I had awful side effects on clomid, the second cycle I had really severe and scary headaches and I called my doc and we decided to not do clomid again. She set me up to see a specialist. The day of that appt I took a test and got a BFP. I did the math and was about four weeks. I MC'd two weeks later. It's been 5 weeks since my MC....I would have been 11 weeks pregnant today.

DH and I decided to wait on the specialist and take a couple months before we go that route. DH is encourage since I became pregnant....it's possible. I'm not sure. It took nearly two years and it ended in a loss so I'm pretty upset with the entire thing.

I just finished my 5th pill of Fermera (today is CD7 and side effects weren't terrible). We've talked about TTC with fermera for 3 or 4 cycles and if that doesn't work we will go to the specialist. It's hard with DH's military schedule, this month we have a chance to TTC but he probably won't be home again on the right days until May or so....

So that's me. That's my story. I just through it was time I stop going through this alone.

So I did the HSG test and that came back fine. Plus all the blood work. I did the CD3 bloodwork and the CD21 bloodwork. My CD21 bloodwork came back a little low, they said my number was a 4.5, should be more like a 10? Once on clomid it went up to an 18.....

And they did a SA on DH and it was ok. Motility wasn't amazing but they thought we could get pregnant anyways.

My OB seemed to think there was no reason we couldn't, esp after getting a BFP on clomid.

Yes we have to deal with TriCare and all of that....and after seeing all these posts that people are actually monitored while on clomid and fermera, I think I'll call the RE this week and get scheduled.....my OB never mentioned anything like that. She gave me the prescription, told me what days to take it, and to BD every other day starting CD10..... and that was about it....so I'm thinking a call to the RE is on my to do list.

I have an appt scheduled with an RE on Friday, hoping for some decent news and getting monitoring started ASAP.

Welcome and sorry for your loss, also sorry you have to be here. I had to learn by coming to this board about Clomid monitoring as well. I am glad you are going to the RE so quickly after finding this out, it took me forever with my insurance! These ladies are a great resource and I hope you find support and wisdom here like I have!
