It's always something!!!!

Sorry in advance for the rant but I'm furious right now. The doc finally put me on Clomid and I was ecstatic. I was having really bad cramps and took a motrin which helped. AF was really really heavy and would not seem to quit it's been 12 days now and she still won't leave me alone. I noticed AF lightened up quit a bit while motrin was in my system. I go in tomorrow for u/s to check the progress of the clomid this month and decided I would take Motrin to help ease AF at least for u/s. Of course if I let doses of motrin lapse AF makes her return. Before I took motrin I checked for drug interactions and it said nothing about motrin then today I'm doing a bunch of research and see that motrin inhibits or can prohibit ovulation. How great, all this work and tests and taking clomid all week and now if I don't ovulate its my own stinkin fault!!! Not to mention if I don't ovulate I wont know if I dont respond to Clomid or if the stupid motrin did it. I'm so furious right now it's ridiculous I just can't seem to get it right. My body doesn't do whats normal for stinking 9 year olds I can't get pregnant which 11 and 12 year olds can do and now even with medical marvals to help correct those issues I go and screw it up with something as simple as an over the counter motrin.

I'm sooooo sorry your having such a tough time!!!!! I don't think that motrin will affect your ovulation, I am just like you and read up on everything.... and alot of the time it does more harm than good, I hate to say.... I was on clomid with no pcos, unblocked tubes and no reason for infertility, and still didn't get pg? I know you told me that the dr diagnosed you with pcos.... well my dr gave me a script for metformin, which is prescribed for pcos patients(though I don't have pcos) to help woth ovulation, has your dr talked to you about that? I just know that I seem to have a hormone problem, and 50mg of clomid did not work for me either, and I thought for sure that it would when I started it.... but no luck, so don't feel so bad..... ask your dr about metformin... maybe it could help...

Thanks Danni having a rough patch lately found out today the clomid didn't work :-( he said hes gonna still test me every 2-3 days until CD21 but hes pretty sure it didnt work my follicles are the same size as they were the other day at my u/s. They have different names for meds over here (In korea right now) and the language barrier is tough but I'll try bringing it up to him. He said next month we'll do 100 mg of Clomid then 150 and if it stil doesnt work we'll switch to injectibles but I think I may bring up skipping the 100 and see if 150 works if not go onto something else instead of wasting extra cycles. Not sure if its a great idea or not and hope hes ok with it I really don't want to waste extra cycles for no reason if it's not even gonna get me to ovulate. I'm fine ovulating and not getting pregnant at least my body is doing something but not even ovulating on the meds I dont wanna keep wasting it with baby steps I'll deal with the side effects. Of course I guess maybe this is kind of good since this month hubby is on back to back 24hr shifts so BDing would've been hard to time right with ovulation. My "normal" mind says it was probably good but the infertility baby side of my mind is pretty bummed that the meds didnt even give me the tiny step of at least ovulating.

I know how u feel.... I am getting ready to go on the pill next week, in hopes that it will regulate my so abmormal cycles.... I hope the clomid works for you, I know that having pcos is hard, but your sooo young, you have MANY years to keep trying... I hope you get your wish.... I am about to be 35 in like a month and am freaking out over the whole "advanced maternal age" thing!!!! I don't know if the pill will REALLY help, but my dr seems to only care about the $$$ so I don't have much trust in him... He says "everythig is fine" but if it was... I would be pg by now right? so deep down, my gut says to try the pill, after all... I was on the pill when I got pg with my peek-o-lee-shus!!!! So who knows... right???? I wish u the BEST of luck... and remember.... NOBODY knows u like u do.....

HolmesHX2 · 08-23-2009, 03:45 PM

Thanks been questioning that lately apparently I dont know me all that well or at least what my stupid body is deciding to do. I know I'm still young but since I was a young girl all I've wanted to do was be a mother (after marriage though) and we've been trying for 5 years so although I'm young this darn biological clock has been going crazy for a long time now. I would be really afraid to try bcp just messes with my mind that it does the opposite of what I want it to do.

dannigirl · 08-23-2009, 04:09 PM

I know exactly how you feel..... I just wish my body would do what my dr says it can do..... I'm sorry for the "your still young" remark.... I know when the drs say it to me I wanna SLAP them!!!!!! We'll get our turn...

HolmesHX2 · 08-23-2009, 05:31 PM

lol thankfully my doctor hasnt said anything dumb I guess the language thing is a plus since we dont say much to each other lol. Thanks for the apology it wasn't necessary though.

BeccaNS · 08-23-2009, 07:10 PM

Holmes I'm sorry the clomid didn't work. I know you must be so disappointed! Clomid never worked for my friend with PCOS :-( but hopefully next month at a higher dose will work! Well just wanted to check in and see how you were doing. Talk to you later.

HolmesHX2 · 08-23-2009, 08:13 PM

Thank you becca :-) how are things going your way?? Do you guys think suggesting to the doc skipping 100 and going right to 150 would come with some disapproval from a doctor? I dont want to seem to pushy but tired of waiting as well and if the clomid itself wont work I would rather find out now then later and to my knowledge there isnt a HUGE difference in risks between the 100 and 150. A slightly higher risk of multiples (completely ok with really would love twins as it is) higher risk over over stimulating and missing out a cycle but I would be ok with that because I'd rather miss a cycle due to the medicine over working then missing a cycle because it didn't work at all. Then you run more of a risk of getting other side effects and possibly more severe hot flashes mood swings abdominal pain etc.. all to which I'm more then fine dealing with. let me know if I'm wrong or if I missed any side effects that should make me rethink asking him to change the dose.
