Hi ladies! Newbie here...my first post..
We have been TTC for a year now, I'm a healthy 25 year old w/ Irregular periods, finished my first round of Clomid this month. I'm supposed to get my progesterone level checked next week. Today was my third day with a "peak smiley" from the clear blue OPK. I am hoping that the Clomid is not giving me false readings .... trying to keep positive after being let down month after month...Also, I keep hearing about Provera w/ Clomid and wondering if I should ask my doctor to put me on that too..
any ladies in a similar situation and can you give any advice!? or success with Clomid? Oh and we tried "Preseed" the fertility friendly lube after reading that some women had success with using that. So seems like we're on the right track.. I also got an ultrasound done just to make sure everything is in working order.. fingers and toes crossed!! Thank you!!
Re: TTC (1year) newbie-finished 1st round of clomid, irregular periods
When you say you had an ultrasound done, have you had other testing as well, including bloodwork and HSG for you and a semen analysis for your partner?
О Привязать! Z!
Maybe this will be your time! Third times a charm!
--My doctor didn't think it would be necessary to have monitoring ultrasounds yet. We have not had any other tests done yet. Basically being on birth control for 8 years and coming off of it with irregular periods really has screwed my system up. (that's what I think) but we'll see if this Clomid works ...I'm in the two week waiting period..
Is your doc an OB/GYN? I would find a new doc, preferably a RE.
You need to be monitored while on Clomid. Monitoring checks for cysts, makes sure your lining isn't being thinned by the Clomid, and checks to see how well (or even if) you are responding.
You also need to have the basic IF testing done before starting Clomid. What if your tubes are blocked? Or your husband has IF issues? You could be wasting time and money taking Clomid.
