Pregnancy Info HOME

To LILLYANNA...I wish you all the best of luck. My fingers are crossed for you. After years of trying and moving across the Canada to see a new fertility doctor, we conceived twins by IUI in October. I know the waiting game is awfull, but hold on, it will all be worth it in the end. This was not our first round of IUI. Here inCanada, clomid is not regularly used anymore. We used puregon injections with a final hgc shot to boost things up. We had a more personal experience this time. My husband was actully allowed to push the plunger to do the insemination this time (after the catheder was in place of course). I really belive that having him do it made this pregnancy happen! Good luck to you, I promise it really isn't that unpleasant. I'm sure you know by now, the testing & questions can be much more invasive. You'll do great!

Hi Corona, thanks for your support, it is very helpfull for me in this stage. Today is my day 10 and had U/S this morning, I am not overconfident becouse have just 2 follies from both ovaries each size 11 and 13 and lining 6,5.Nurse said they are still growing as well utreus lining.Estrogen was a bit higher 210 and should be 200, but she said it is all ok.On the right ovaries I have something else, cyst or egg 20 mm they cant see still and it is reason I have to start OPK testing.Doctor dosnt want to give me still injectible gonadotropins, as I ovulate naturally and he thinks I dont need trigger shot as well.In australia they are so affraid to move stright, and you have to go around before you get it.O will happend probably for weekends.I would love tweens but I know girlls with 3, 4-7 follies per cycle and they even couldnt get pregnant with IUI so what I will do with 2 eggs.Chance is very, very litlle for me.I am not affraid of any pain, injections or whatever just really want to have a baby or too.My darling was this morning with me to see U/S.Corona thank you once again, God bless you and your family.To all girll gooooood luck baby dust to all.

Corona, when you conceived twins how many follies you had?

***JULIE*** Several months ago in the posts you referred to some fertility reports that showed normal ovulators have higher chances of multiples. Do you remember where you found those? I would be interested to read them!

Sorry Kim, I don't know your answer. But, I hope someone does! Can someone please tell me the safest and quickest website to get Clomid from, without a prescription. Thanks!

This is an honest question for all you ladies who wish to find/use unperscribed clomid or any other fertility med. I am not trying to preach or start a new controversy. I would like to know why you would be willing to put yourself or any potential child at any sort of medical risk. By risk I mean, ovarian hyperstimulation, bed rest, preterm labour, premature baby/ies, a child in the NICU for any length of time, a lifetime of illmess with a premie or any other possible side effect.? I can understand if you cannot conceive naturally & cannot afford to see a fertility doctor that you may feel desperate. Yet why the risk? I cannot understand why you would consider it if you do concieve naturally & just want to have multiples. I hope some of you ladies could explain to me your reasons so that perhaps I could shed some of my judgements. Thank you.

Chrissy999- Funny this is the first time I've been on this site for a month or two. I'll try to find the reports I posted about.

Thanks Julie! I've searched high and low online to find anything and come up with nothing! Does anyone know if insurance companies will cover children born from fertility drugs if they are multiples??

Are you talking about if insurance will cover multiples when fertility drugs are used for medical reasons (i.e. prescribed) or unprescribed? We took prescribed fertility meds. and have not had any insurance issues having our kiddos covered.

Melissa - I would be interested to know both. I'm not sure yet if my doc is going to prescribe clomid, but I want to be sure either way that both the pregnancy and the children (if they are multiples) are covered.

Cammie:

I have ordered from this website. Their prices are very reasonable, and delivery is quick. I hope this helps:

Took 100mg days 1-5, plus mucinex on days i bd'd. On day 24 now....trying to be patient. Praying for twins/more!!

I am 27, i have two beautiful kids, a boy and a girl .. i am very fortile thank god ... my son was conceieved from the first try and my daughter was concieved when we were "less careful" so i know i will be able to concive on the first try ... but .. i am hoping for twins :) .. do you think if i use clomid i will be able to acheive that from the first cycle? or should i use it for one cycle and not concieve till i use it for the second cycle? this also makes it riskier for me to develop side effects ... but does clomid work from the first cycle or should you use it for more? even if you are firtile? ...

what would happen if you take it for six or seven days instead of five??

tearsofjoy - Those are all questions you should be asking a doctor. Taking clomid irresponsibly can lead to dangerous consequences for you or your potential baby(ies).

From what I have read, there is a less chance of conceiving at all with clomid if it isn't needed and also it can give you such problems that you may end up with a fertility problem. I also know a couple of women on another board who lost an ovary because one had one burst and the other had a huge cyst and destroyed her ovary. Both were actually getting their u/s from their doctors and were monitored closely. Shows you this drug isn't as "harmless" as some want you to believe. If it were, it would be over the counter accessible which even that can be dangerous if you just start taking your own dosage and not follow the directions on the box.
