Clomid and progesterone suppositories: any info?

Hello,

After 2 MC, I've been diagnosed with a fibroid (procedure scheduled for July) as well as severe ludeal phase defect. My doctor is recommending clomid and progesterone suppositories starting after my procedure/next cycle. He is a specialist in Atlanta at RBA so I trust his judgement but curious if anyone used these together and had any big hormonal side effects?

Advice is appreciated

    I apologize for my confusion but are there not many forms of Infertility? There are in fact multiple IVF boards (IVF, IVF2, IVF verterans to be exact.) Why does this board also only need to be for IVF patients? Why can't it be for all forms of infertility so we can learn from each other?

    Hi @Dot30324‌, I am sorry for your losses. :(

    The first time I posted on this site I posted here as well since I considered myself infertile. However the TTTC board where i moved at everyone's advice is for infertility as well, but likely more for at the stage you are at since there is quite a range of IF issues and most of us are at the "latter" stages. (I moved back here after four unsuccessful IUIs, a couple canceled cycles due to additional issues, and after we started planning for IVF because the info here became more relevant to me and what was posted there is becoming much less relatable for me) but I still post on both.

    I used clomid years ago so it's hard for me to remember my responses to that. A lot of the girls in TTTC are using that now and have talked about some of their responses (like mood swings and hot flashes). I did have fibroids removed a year ago and it went very well as I hope your procedure does!! As for progesterone, the typical side effects I've experienced are that it mimics all the typical pms or pregnancy symptoms but more intensely or more heightened. I also had cramping with it throughout the time I used it. I think that's pretty much it though.

    Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

    July 2006: started TTC
    2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
    2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
    October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
    Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
    January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
    February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
    March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
    July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
    August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

    IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
    IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
    IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
    IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
    IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
    May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
    IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
    May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
    June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
    IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
    September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
    October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
    November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
    November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
    December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
    December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
    IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN

    We are done with treatment unsuccessfully. :(

    @Nariadreaming - has there ever been a discussion about changing the names of these forums so that the content is a little more obvious?
