He wants to see me back in 9 weeks - (still to reduce my BMI even more) and if still unsucessfull im to move on to the injections to try and get me ovulating! He reckons i will def respond to the injections but who knows. so i have 8 weeks to whip my butt into gear and loose 21lbs!

I am on cd4 today and started taking Puregon 200iu yesterday eve. Will start Cetrotide 250mcgs on thursday along with the puregon. I've never used the Cetrotide before... has anyone any experience with it at all? What if any side effects have you maybe had with it? Have got a scan again on Sat morning some time so have the day off work... long way down to Galway.. (we're going to Galway Fertility Unit) but of course it will all be worth it in the end We have done 7 iui's so far, got pregnant on the 3rd but lost at 10 weeks that was really tough. We are however very lucky to have a son who is 6... he was conceived naturally after a year of trying... Miracle baby I think now!! Anyway, ladies, looking forward to sharing stories and experiences with you all... I just love the support that you can get from other women who know exactly what you are going through.. Sticky dust and baby dust to you all... xx

When if first staring taking it I was 19 and had been diagnosed with pcos so my endo prescribed it for me to help with my weight, the ovulation was an added bonus I didn't appreciate at the time Im not too sure about taking it with cloimid, hopefully someone else might have some (positive!!) experiences there.... We are only ttc since September and have had some wobbly months in between then and now so I'm hoping the glucophage coupled with a bit more concentration on my part works for us! Hopefully glucophage/cloimid is the bit of help you need too, your doc seems to have a good plan for you, I like when docs are very positive! Oh it also helps if you stick to the same times everyday. Your system gets used to it quicker!

Needless to say a very unhappy bunny Eating well(enough), exercising, not smoking, not drinking, and nothing, can get frustrating sometimes. thinking of making an appointment to see a doctor about making sure everything is okay, though I think I'll just be laughed out the door and be told "sure your young yet bs!" Baby dust to all you ladies xx

When I went for our first appt with Galway Fertility Consultant he done a scan as I was mid cycle and said that although I ovulate, I don't ovulate properly and the egg wouldn't be anywhere near enough to achieve a pregnancy. (it was 6mm that day) Also my hubby has low motility and count. So between us, its not good. We have been trying for our second since May '06!! Can't believe its been almost 6 years now.!!! So what are your next plans? Do you try naturally now? Fingers crossed so tightly for you honey xx

meggysmom wrote: » yellow hen I am rooting for you...we are in our fertile time now and have been following docs advice of every other day from day 7-21 with an extra around ovulation for good measure,our cycles seem to be the same so sending us both good vibes for this month,keep me posted on how you are getting on with clomid.... Some questions,did you go back to the beacon for clomid?Did you just call them direct for an appointment after your 4 month after surgary?How much per cycle does clomid with scans cost?

Im happy for her but why can't it be us too? So miserable tonight. In hindsight this week I think the clomid made me quite depressed..thank god you only take it for 5 days.

yellow hen wrote: » I'm tired of lettting ttc take over all my head space...I really want to become a healthy person in both body and mind and I think that will help with ttc. I'm ok today, just had a minor meltdown last night. Poor husband didnt know what had happened me :eek: On a different note, my monitor asked for a pee stick today (cd9) and it came up as high, which it wouldnt usually have done until day 12/13 so doc might be right and I might ovulate earlier than usual.
