hey anna ! glad you made a new thread, that was way too long ! yes, you're right, maybe w eneed a new thread to start fresh :-) what do you think happened to kelly ? maybe you will O soon ? are you doing opks this time around ? you totally should since the temp thing isn't always accurate with clomid....... my hsg is this friday and sat. is new clmoid dose. i have a crazy work week which will be nice so everything will go by quickly and i won't obsess too much. how is everyone else doing ? alicia, any signs yet ? ↑

Hey Kristina! Glad you found the new thread! I'm not using opk's (probably should have but didn't have time to get any) so if I don't get preggo this month then next month I will probably use them. My next two weeks at work will be really busy too so hopefully that will help the time go by quick! I hope that Kelly is okay - it's weird not to hear from her. How's everyone else doing??? ↑

Good morning! Temp is at 97.6 this morning (that's a normal temp for me). Still haven't seen ewcm. I just don't have a good feeling about this cycle for some reason. I don't know why. Maybe that means something good will happen since the other months I had a good feeling and nothing happened! How is everyone else doing? ↑

good morning ! my temps are still a bit high from provera and expect they will be weird till off of clomid. looking forward to my my appt. on friday. hope it doesn't hurt too much b/c i have to teach a ballet class friday night. my hubby will drive me there and i f needed he can always teach for me. that's the benefit of having the same job, huh ? not that he could come here and do environmental risk assessment, but at least he can help with my teaching and i can help him :-) anna, how is your hubby doing with everything ? i try not to talk about it lots so he doesn't know i'm obsessing. yes, maybe this month will be different for you ! and me ! then we'd have babies close to christmas, right ? maybe for fun i'll see when we'd deliver around. i still haven't given in and bought baby clothes. i was thinking buying a children's book would be fun though. and have a nice little collection before the baby arrives :-) i love the college idea though !!!!!!!!! ↑

Hey Kristina! I had an HSG in the fall and it just hurt when they were injecting the fluid into the tubes (like bad cramps!) - it didn't bother me the rest of the day. It was just annoying because all of the fluid they put in you drains out the rest of the day (they gave be a super big pad to wear!) Just thought I'd warn you! It's really not that bad and it's cool to see it on the x-ray!!! My hubby is doing okay - we got in a little bit of a scuffle this weekend - I think he was feeling like bd'ing was becoming a chore and not fun. I told him as long as it had the same result it could be fun. It has been better since we talked but I cried myself to sleep that night. I really think that let him know how important it is to me. Also, this morning he was talking about wanting to trade in his car for one with 4 doors so it would be easier for getting kids in and out! It's always nice to hear him talk about the future! ↑
Hi ladies...May I join you all... I will be starting Clomid as soon as my darn period gets here...Wow Ive never wanted my period to come this bad in my whole life...LOL ↑
Name: Anna B. | Date: Mar 1st, 2006 5:37 PM
Hi TigerLily! I know what you mean about wanting your period to start. I hadn't had one on my own in 7 years so I was so excited the first time! Now I pray it doesn't come!!! How long have you been ttc? ↑
Name: Tigerlily05 | Date: Mar 1st, 2006 5:40 PM
Well we have been officially trying for over 2 yrs, but been off bcp and using no form of protection for almost 5 yrs... I was just diagonized with PCOS on Monday and so they are putting me on Clomid and also 1700 mg of metformin...I really hope this helps us to concieve, but if by some chance it doesnt...At least I know they still have more plans for me...lol ↑
Good morning! Temp stayed at 97.6 again. I'm on cd 13 so I'm hoping I ovulate pretty soon but last month it was on cd 18. We'll keep bd'ing until we're sure! TigerLily - I hope the clomid works for you and I hope AF comes soon too! Keep us posted on how things are going. Kristina - let us know how the HSG goes tomorrow. What time is your appt? ↑
Name: dancegirl | Date: Mar 2nd, 2006 10:03 AM
hi girls ! tigerlilly, welcome ! i also have pcos. will be starting 100 mg clomid on sat. was diagnosed in december and just got over my first round of clomid which didn't work :-( didn't respond at all ! anyway, my appt is at 1 pm tomorrow afternoon for the HSG. yikes, anna, hope i'm not leaking dye while teaching ballet ! i really hope it comes out ok. i'm just doing it b/c i can and not b/c i suspect a blockage. so i'm not expecting there to be a blockage, but knowing my luck and the way i keep getting worse news, i'll have no fallopian tubes at all ! haha, guess i should prepare myself in case it is bad news so i'm not so devastated again. but i hope this test clears things up and then i'll ovulate on the higher clomid and i'll have great chances to get prego ! nicole, how are you doing ? ↑
Name: nicole nelson | Date: Mar 2nd, 2006 10:42 AM
I am doing good. I do believe I have stopped bleeding. So I guess I will wait and see what the doctor says. My doctors appointment is March 7 at 3pm. So maybe good news. I think I am going to talk to my doctor and see if he will get me a hsg done. ↑
Name: Anna B. | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 9:05 AM
Good morning! I hope everyone is doing well. Kristina - you've gotta let us know how your HSG goes today. As for me, I think I'm finally getting close to O day! I had ewcm this morning so we bd'd just in case. ↑

Hi i posted on here before about provera. well i just got af yesturday so I called my ob and she is starting me on clomid on monday. I've never been on it before. What is a HSG? ↑
Name: Anna B. | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 10:27 AM
Hi Michelle! An HSG is when the doctor shoots dye up through your fallopian tubes to make sure there is no blockage. The dye allows them to do an xray of your tubes. It's really cool although not the most comfortable procedure! Good luck with the clomid - keep us posted. ↑
Name: dancegirl | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 10:29 AM
hi michelle ! great that af showed up ! now you can join us clomid girls. when will you start your first pill ? mine will be tomorrow. scared of side effects with doubling the dose :-( and hsg is where they shoot dye up your fallopian tubes to see if there's a blockage. but sometimes just the dye will clear things up and increase your success. just need dang clomid to do it's job this month and let me ovulate ! anna, woohoo for the ewcm ! is this around the same time you saw it last month ? ↑
Name: michelle | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 10:45 AM
I start my clomid on monday which is cd5. i know that i ovulate, but not every month. i hope it works. my ob is giving me 3 refills i think if it doesn't work then i will have to go back in or she may up it. I am not sure what dosage i will be on. i go pick it up tomorrow. ↑
Name: dancegirl | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 11:05 AM
MICHELLE - I HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU !!!!!!!!! YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE ONLY ON 50 MG FIRST. YOU SHOULDN'T START ON ANY HIGHER THAN 50 MG. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THEN YOU CAN MOVE UP IN DOSE, BUT TO TAKE TOO MUCH CAN LEAD TO OVERSTIMIUATION WHICH CAN LEAD TO MULITPLES OR EVEN RUPTURING OF AN OVARY. ARE THEY PLANNING ON MONITORING YOU AFTER YOUR DONE TAKING THE PILLS ? THEY SHOULD BRING YOU IN ONCE YOU'VE TAKEN ALL THE PILLS TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT OVERSTIMULATED AND THAT YOUR OVAIRES RESPONDED OK TO THE CLOMID. NOT TRYING TO SCARE YOU, BUT IT'S BEST TO DO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO RISKS INVOLVED. LOTS OF BABY DUST TO YOU ! ↑
Name: michelle | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 11:10 AM
well i am not sure - she did mention about overstimulating. but never said anything about coming back in. she did say that i will have sore bbs and stuff from it. ↑
Name: dancegirl | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 11:16 AM
MICHELLE - JUST DID SOME READING TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T FREAKING YOU OUT IF I WAS WRONG. I READ THAT ALTHOUGH THEY SUGGEST MONITORING, MANY DOCTORS DON'T AND THE RISK OF OVERSTIMULATION IS VERY LOW. SO IT SEEMS THAT IT'S NOT THAT BAD IF NOT MONITORED. SORRY IF I SCARED YOU. SORRY FOR THE CAPS LOCK TOO, JUST DOING WORK IN CAPS LOCK. LOOKS LIKE I'M YELLING ! ↑
Name: michelle | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 11:19 AM
thanks, i think i am going to do some reading up on it too. just so i know. ↑
Name: Anna B. | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 11:43 AM
Kristina - first of all, good luck on the HSG today. This is about the same time that I got ewcm last month - plus I keep feeling slightly crampy every now and then so I'm hoping that means I'm close to O'ing. That's how I felt last month. Last month I O'd on cd 18 and today is cd 14 but also, last month I took clomid starting on cd 4 and this time I started on cd 2 so I'm hoping maybe I O earlier this month! ↑
Name: nicole nelson | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 12:12 PM
Kristina how did your hsg go today. Anna good luck. I haven't went to the doctor yet. I go tuesday, so maybe he will give me some good news lol. ↑
Name: Malisa | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 6:02 PM
Hi girls, i also have pcos and i don't ovulate on my own, I just finished my 2nd month on clomid, but just found out yesterday I did not ovulate again. My doctor moved me up from 50mg to 100mg for next month. I have to first take provera because i don't get my period on my own either. I really hope it works next month. Even just to ovulate would be great. What month are you all on? Did you ovulate right away on clomid? Also, i've heard of being on metaphormin with clomid, what is it and why do some people get put on it and not others? ↑
Name: Anna B. | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 6:55 PM
Malisa - this is my 2nd month on Clomid. I took 50mg the first month and I ovulated so my doctor kept me at 50mg. Hopefully I will ovulate this month and get a bfp. I hope that you ovulate this month too. Let us know how things go. ↑
Name: JENZEY | Date: Mar 3rd, 2006 7:48 PM
Hi everyone, I have pcos & don't ovulate on my own. My cycle would be anywhere from 4-7 months. I just finished my 1st cycle of Clomid (50mg.) I went for my ultrasound today to see if I have any maturing follicles. I have 1 on the left 21x18. My doctor told me my best days are friday, sat. & sunday. I wish all of you Good luck & lots of babydust!!! ↑
Name: Anna B. | Date: Mar 4th, 2006 12:07 PM
Hi girls! I think I either ovulated today or am about to - during the night my lower left side felt crampy-ish like I was ovulating and this morning I had a ton of ewcm so we bd'd again just in case. I hope my temp goes up tomorrow morning. It has stayed at 97.6 for about 5 days now (since all the crazy temps as a result of the clomid). I'm on cd 15 so hopefully I will be in the tww soon! Kristina - how was your HSG? Hope everyone is doing well and having a good weekend! I'm stuck at work but hopefully I'll be leaving soon. :) ↑
Name: dancegirl | Date: Mar 4th, 2006 12:42 PM
hi girls ! well, the hsg went well. no blockages they could see. my doc will review and get back to me but the technician said it was good. funny, but my best friend all growing up and roomy at college, but have lost touch lately, was my x-ray assistant ! so it was great to see a familiar face :-) starting my 100 mg clomid today. malisa i also didn't ovulate on my own the first round of 50 mg of clomid. i have pcos too. are you thin ? normally if you are thin with pcos, the insulin issue is not a problem and metmorphin is primarily for insulin regulating. since i'm thin and my insulin levels were fine, metmorphin wasn't really going to help much. perhpas that's why you are not on it ? i took provera as well and af showed up the day after my last pill. so we can go through the 100 mg together !!!!!!!! will let you know of course how things are going. anna, that's great !!!!!!!!!!!!! great signs for you this month ! make sure to bd lots !!!!! well, chat more later ;-) welcome jenzey ! ↑
Name: Anna B. | Date: Mar 4th, 2006 1:09 PM
Kristina - that's great that they didn't see any blockages! That's funny about your friend being your x-ray tech - a friend of mine is a radiologist at the hospital where my doctor is and she would have done mine but I think she wasn't working that day. Isn't it amazing how we try to eat healthy and stay in shape and then we can't get pregnant!!! You would think it would help but it actually hurts! ↑
