Exciting News!

in Trouble TTC
As many of you know, I'm on my 2nd round of Clomid. Last time I used the clear blue ovulation predictor kit and never got a smiley face. After blood work, the confirmed I did not ovulate, and so they bumped my dosage up. Today I peed on the ovulation stick AND GOT A SMILEY FACE!!!!!!! A BLINKEY SMILEY FACE! So the hubs and I are going to get busy a bit later. Even if this is not the month, I am feeling hopeful that we are moving in the right direction.

    Well I hope getting busy on that one day was enough because he was exhausted yesterday and is out of town today :( We did make love two days before the OPK. This is so frustrating, and I'm trying hard not to resent him since I don't want him to feel like we have to be doing it on demand, but I'm all hopped up on pills over here, and I hate it! Blurg.

    It only takes one sperm! Don't lose hope!!! And just be glad you are ovulating and moving in the right direction. Hopefully it works!! If not, be glad they got your dosage right. Either way is a win win :)

    @clt2pwm11 Sperm can live up to 5 days . Keep the faith and good luck! Do you know when AF is due or have any further testing scheduled? I'll be thinking about you!

    All the best to you.
    TTC for Baby #1 for 3 years. After 2 failed IUI's & IVFs, God blessed us with our miracle :).  FET 12/17/15 (transferred 2 embryos at 5days). First Beta 12/29/15 = 354. Second Beta 12/31/15 = 694. Third Beta 1/7/16 = 6,695.  Finally heard his heartbeat (126)  on 1/14/16 @ our 1st US.  2nd US on 1/21/16, HR was 159.  The most beautiful sound ever :)

    Well apparently it was a false surge. My blood work came back, and my progesterone level is ridiculously low, so the Dr. is saying I didn't ovulate. I'll take a pregnancy test just to be sure, but next cycle she is upping me to 150 Clomid and adding Metformin. I'm beyond discouraged at the moment. So glad you girls are here to share with because this is such an isolating experience.

    @clt2pwm11 I'm sorry! At least this can be a learning experience for the dr so they can adjust your meds. Now next cycle will be a better cycle for you! Keep your chin up :D

    I'm sorry @clt2pwm11 I have heard that false surges on clomid are pretty common. Do they think you might still ovulate this cycle? Fx for this to work out soon for you.

    I'm sorry about your false surge. I don't have a lot of input, but I didn't want to read and run. I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you.

    @emgem819 No, not yet. She added Metformin to my cocktail of meds because she thinks maybe controlling my insulin will help. We shall see. I definitely feel a bit better as far as energy level goes since starting the Metformin. And my vision hasn't been going all swim-y after I eat a big meal. So maybe she does have me on the right track.
