TTC After a Loss 6 Months+
I'm not liking clomid....
Either it worked or it's making me crazy cakes.
I felt fine when I was actually taking it cycle day 3-7 but once I ovulated I started feeling crappy. Maybe also it has to do with me being on progesterone and cabergoline (for my prolactin levels). The combo of the three= unhappy me.
I've been moody. I've been crying almost every day. it could be over the littlest thing. I even cried at work several times last week. Once because I made a simple mistake. I don't do that. (Thankfully nobody could see). I've also been very anxious and apprehensive about the future.
I hate medicine. I never even take asprin but of course I'll do what it takes to get pregnant. I'm 9dpo today. I'll be testing on Wednesday if my temp is still high. Oh the anticipation.

Re: I'm not liking clomid....
Hi there. I'm sorry clomid has been rough on you. It's not a fun drug. I've done 2 rounds of it now myself.
I know I've seen you around here before, but I believe you only come around when you have a question, right?
Please do know that this board is a two way street, and the general rule is "give support to get support"
That being said, I do hope you stay around and interact with us all a little bit more. Good luck with the clomid!
sorry about the emotions running wild. i totally felt that way too last cycle. i really hope it works for you guys tho!
ps...i've been reading and following your blog and lately, it says it doesn't exist? did you take it down or move it somewhere? good luck to you!
Calm down.
Actually I was around alot back when I had a mc and back when this board wasn't even created. I've been posting slowly to get back into it. Sorry my posting hasn't met your standards. I'll be sure to work on that.
Writergirl, I took my blog down because it was becoming a chore and not so fun anymore. I've been blogging for over a year and I just felt over it. I have alot going on right now and it had become an added stress.
How are you feeling?
Holy Christ on a fvcking cracker. How much nicer could I have said that?
I wasn't trying to be a b!tch to you, I was simply telling you that perhaps instead of being a constant "taker" you should be a team player.
and I was simply telling you that I've been around. Maybe you didn't mean it a certain way, but you came across as snarky. It's the internet though. Of course everything gets misunderstood. No hard feelings.
No, trust me, you'd know if it was snarky. I tend to sail straight on past snarky and right onto downright rude.
Like I said before - good luck with the clomid.
Yes. I know how you work.
That's why I like you. Bwahahahah...
bummer. well i really enjoyed your blog! but i totally understand! now you'll just hafta post here more so i can keep up with you!
i'm feeling...ok. physically i'm barely spotting...which kinda freaks me out. b/c with my last m/c it happened fast...this is dragging on. emotionally...i'm ok i guess. i don't really know quite how to process all of it. (which is why i'm so glad for my blog. which i will finally make public again after i tell my family what's been going on while they've been on vaca)
Is this the clomid talking or are you normally a b!tch?
Carrie was very nice to you in her response. Seriously. There was no need to get all bent up about it. She is right you have to give support to get support on here. I don't know you or your story. It would be nice if you shared and became a member of this community instead of jumping down people's throats for no real reason, other than the fact that they pointed out the truth.
Oh come on now. I'm not bent out of shape. At least not for now. Lol. Who knows when clomid aftershocks will kick in though
As I mentioned I used to post alot before this breakout board was created. For those of you that don't remember me or know me. I've been trying since I got married on 9/27/08. Nothing was happening. I got an ovarian cyst and had to have a laparoscopy in February 09. I told doc to check for endo and to do an HSG while she was in there. No endo but massive scar tissue. She cleaned most of it out. Tubes were clear. Later after surgery we had an SA done on DH. Decent amount, 50% motility. Morphology bad at only 13 %. The doctor said we probably won't be able to do it without help. Lo and behold we concieve on our own. I miscarry the day before our first anniversary.
So we're trying, trying. Come this February 2010 all of a sudden I have low progesterone and high prolactin. Why of course because it's just one thing after another with all of us now isn't it. Did my first clomid cycle this month, currently waiting to get dissapointed again so I can do it all over again next month.
Clomid does lots of unpleasant things to many people. For me I gained weight and it did not matter what I ate, it just affected me that way. It sucks.
13% with morph is boarderline issue and you should still be able to get KU with that number. There is a girl on PgAL who got KU and her husband had 0 morph. DH was all over the place with his morph numbers (b/c he smoked). I got him to quit cold turkey and we don't have those issues anymore. Now our issues are surrounding my sh!ty tubes. It does suck when things change. You aren't alone in that aspect.
Hopefully you won't need to move on to another clomid cycle next month!
I've read some articles that bad morphology can have something to do with miscarriages. Well there are plenty of things, but that could be one of them. I also worry that maybe it's not even him anymore. Who knows if it's me or him that's the bigger issue. One thing I have in the back of my mind is that what if some scar tissue has grown back. There's no way of knowing unless they go in. But there's no reason to now.
Bah. Who knows. I hate that not only do we have to worry about getting pregnant, we also have to worry about staying pregnant. Months and months of worry & dissapointment just isn't good for anyone's mental health. It's exhausting.
TinyBride, what dosage of clomid are you on?
I did 50mg with no ovulation
I got a BFP with 100mg of clomid, but that didnt stick.
I'm moving onto 150mg next, which will be my final round of clomid.
With the first one, I really felt the side effects. I gained weight, I was cranky, b!tchy and had wicked hot flashes. With the second, I hardly noticed any side effects.
I'm on 50mg. I am regular. We are doing clomid to se if it will improve our chances. I had an ultrasound on the 18th the day before ovulation that showed 1 mature follie in each ovary.
Maybe like you the side effects will be better next time. I don't remember reading if you were diagnosed with anything. What will be your next step after clomid?
I'm so irregular it isn't even funny. I've had 100 day cycles. Not a lot of fun.
The clomid is to actually force me to ovulate, and so far it's managed once.
I haven't been 100% diagnosed with anything yet. PCOS is a very real possibility according to my Dr, but in my u/s I didn't have the "string of pearls".
My next step is a laproscopy, but that is a step I really do not want to take.
After that, we're onto injections, should I choose to continue.
Oh that must be frustrating.
If you do eventually do a lap, just know it's not too bad. You do get left with those little markes where they cut but they are really small and hardly noticeable. I don't like surgery either so I can see why you are apprehensive. My co-worker tried for 2 years, and had unexplained IF. She had done clomid and IUI's. She finally decided to do a lap, but nothing other than a small black spot on her uterus was found. The doc said that wasn't preventing her from concieving but she finally did a few months later on another round of clomid.
Good luck.
