Clomid Poll... When do you take it? - Page 4

momthisyear · 06-03-2005, 09:06 AM

Wow I am so jealous, you are on top of it!!! That sounds really promising. My Dr. doesn't do anything at all, just checks for cycsts each month and hands me a prescription for clomid. I found a fertility dr. that I will see on the 15th so I hope to get things rolling with him, I think we need to do IUI also, I feel like I wasted the last 3 months just taking clomid.

Momthisyear:

I was told to go straight to a fertility specialist...they great and very informative.
I just started with all of this just a month ago. had bloodwork done first after my day 2 of my period dis Clomid 100/mg on day 2-6, checkup on day 10 to check for follicles had 4 @14 , on that day started using the ovulation kit - small surge on day 12 then on day 13(today) went to check follicles again 3 good follicles @20, 21 and 22 and I will take a shot of ovidrel today if I don't ovulate on my own.....IUI on Sunday (day15)...hopefully that'll work out.

Something very important that I know that helps out with conceiving is prenatel vitamins, no caffinee, and Just found out that over the counter Moltrin can cause infertility in men and women.

I wish you all the love and prayers in the world hopefully we'll be mommies by the end of the year. Take care

I've noticed that the first month on clomid, my right ovary was very sore, so now know because it was being stimulated by the clomid, the the 2nd month I didn't feel anything on my left side, then this month I am feeling it again on my right side, so I am wondering if there is a problem with the left ovary. I am hoping things go better with this new DR.
So how will you know if you ovulate today on your own?

Gladgonz · 06-03-2005, 10:43 AM

Basically with those ovulation kits (pee on a stick). It tells you 24 hours before you ovulate. from what you told me I think you've done the right things but I feel positive about you getting a new Dr. They explain things in details. They moniter you every step of the way.

what city are you from?

Gladgonz · 06-03-2005, 10:51 AM

Sorry on a past post I said that Motrin causes fertility but I MADE A MISTAKE "MOTRIN CAUSES INFERTILITY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to take it for every little thing and now that I've stopped I think my chances have gotten better.

Santa Cruz, California
I am really interested in the monitoring part. My ob keeps saying oh you just need a little more time, hello, it's been over a year, 3 cycles of clomid, I am now 35. I don't think it's time we need. I have the whole summer off, so this would be a good time to start the monitering because I'm available, I am worried about the cost also because our insurance doesn't cover any of this.

Gladgonz · 06-03-2005, 11:39 AM

I do have insurance but so far I've only paid out of pocket $40 for the Clomid and $35 for the ovulation kit which has 7 sticks in it.

I think you're right...Ovulation kits are great...it works well if you think that there's nothing really wrong with either you or your spouse....My Husband sperm in quantity is good but they're a little lazy in the swimming department so I hope the IUI helps. He does a son from a previouse marriage.

Let's put it this way...Listen to your heart...You know whats right for you now...no doctor can tell you that you have time..we all want the same thing and the sooner the better. Most fertility clinics have payment plans and try to work with you...I know that I'll be hearing good news from you!!!!!!Try not to worry about it to much...stress can really mess up your body in crazy ways.

I'm a BIG believer of FAITH!!!!!

It doesn't hurt. LOTS OF LOVE TO YOU AND YOURS

momthisyear · 06-03-2005, 12:38 PM

Wow that is great, I pay $130 each month to see my ob for my prescription, plus I have to pay for all labs. This new Dr. wants between $100-$300 just to walk in the door, I don't know what makes the difference between $100 and $300. Maybe how we're dressed LOL! I'll say I would like the $100 visit please.

Gladgonz · 06-03-2005, 01:01 PM

You're so funny. I just hope that all works out. It will all be worth it at the end.!!!

Keep in touch......Have a great weekend! I Hope I have a good one too.

Keep me in your thoughts on Sunday.

momthisyear · 06-03-2005, 03:04 PM

Mydogs: So far I've had a crappy dr. too....I'm just paying big bucks for her.
I did find a really good site for my opk, off the internet, I got 40 for $23.00 or at least I thought I did really good until I found out that clomid makes them give a false +. Sometimes I just have to laugh at all this.
