TTC GIRL- MAY 2012

[KraizyDaizy]

Hope,
I never thought about seeing if my OB would consult and order the tests. I will check on that. I have heard about other's who were successful the month after stopping Clomid, so I am not sure what my plan is yet. Just in a fog and trying not to cry about it. I really thought for sure May had to be my month, but no it wasn't so just got to go on....

Yeah def check with your doc. I've been thinking about that for a few days and wanted to give u the idea.
I have time this am waiting at the OB for my follie check. Looooooong wait to be seen today. So I have time to mess around on the site!

Kraizy- I do know of a couple of people who got preg the month after they stopped clomid.
I would def. ask your OB about running the tests for sure.
I am praying for you hun and I will be here to give you big congrats when you get that BFP!!!

I do too Kraisy. Clomid can stay in your system for a while after stopping it, so it may keep working for you even the month after you stop it and perhaps with less side effects as well.

Ok, I have a call into my OB and waiting to hear back. I've decided to be very aggressive -- what tests should I insist they do? I had a 7dpo progesterone test already and it came back at good levels? (I think it was 24). That is the only test they have done....bec they seem to think it's just advance maternal age. I've had 2 chemicals...ovulate regularly. She did say we could do an ultrasound of the follicles to see how they are developing...she said to do it right before ovulation, but then I read online better to do it earlier? So with the tests you suggest can you also suggest the day/timeframe in the cycle that is best to do those tests. THANK YOU!!!

Suregena- sounds like you are about to O. I bet that's what the hunger is all about!

Seriously hungry today. I am REALLY pushing myself to wait longer for dinner because I ate a little extra jelly beans at lunch then I had planned and I ate earlier than planned. :/

I also feel almost like AF-y feeling... and have had a headache all day; maybe O is soon, like you said! I'm going to test with another OPK soon.

[suregena]

Well, OPK still negative... but the pattern the past few days in the evening has been a faint second line... rather than none at all, and my CM is back to egg white (yay!) and still high/soft/open... *fingers crossed*

Ilindgirl- my doc office does follicle check between cd 10-12. They can see how many and the sizes and help tell when you will O.
Also you can ask for

[ILindGurl]

Thank you,Hope & Dream. I had the follicle check/ultrasound scheduled for D10, but then when we spoke again she suggested we move it to D13 because I usually ovulate somewhere between D12-D17 at the very latest. I guess the closer you can get to O the better...is that correct? I don't know why but I'm so hesitant to trust at this point since she still is convinced that I have nothing wrong with me, just need to wait "hopefully" for a good egg to come along because I am older mom....she keeps saying you had 2 easy healthy pregnancies...hello? it's been 4 years since I was pregnant! Am I crazy?? She also gave me the name of an infertility specialist/R.E. but honestly our insurance doesn't cover that so trying to get as much as I can from the reg OB done.

Sorry my message got cut off. U can also ask her for immune testing. It's all blood work she can easily order. I found out I had a clotting issue. The doc i see when preg used to talk about thousands of women who have countless miscarriages chemicals needlessly and could all be prevented by a simple blood thinner. He goes on a rampage every time i am there. He was one of the lead researchers in the world on these issues and gets really angry when he hears about doctors that miss simple fix stuff. At the least tell her u want a blood panel of any possible clotting issues. Kraisy's insurance doesn't cover RE either so I would have them consult with a collegue if yet don't know what tests to order.
