Cycle Update: No HCG Shot :(

Hello Ladies Happy Thursday

                 

i went to see my doctor today & he did a trans vaginal ultra-sound, he said my uterus looked great, my lining was great as well but, i didn't have any follicles big enough for a HCG shot (Trigger shot). on each ovary i had about 15-18 small follicles. Once again 150mg of clomid didn't work. i don't know why but i had a very good feeling about this cycle i thought i was actually going to respond to the clomid. He also mentioned that its most likely i will develop diabetes during pregnancy due to my high insulin. he said to keep taking my Metformin & that should help level out my insulin level. i am about 5'2 and i weigh 175ish, my RE said i have to try to loose weight to help with my hormones. ughhh!  its ok though I've set my mind to telling myself ITS OK IT WILL HAPPEN, i just have to keep trying. & i will!!! Sorry if my post are all over the place lol I'm still getting use to this & ill try to better my post!

Quick Clomid Update #2

Hello Ladies Happy Tuesday!

today i am on cycle day 13 & 4 days since my last clomid pill. all day today i have been having pain on my left ovary, I'm hoping its because i have follicles that are growing! i thought i had my ultra sound today but i guess its not until the 23rd(Thursday cycle day 15) I've felt similar pains before and the only way i can describe it is "like my ovary is very full". i just want to have the ultra sound to see whats going on in there. 2 more days though! other than that I've felt great all the other days. yesterday i noticed a lot of egg white discharged but my opk was negative so I'm not sure whats going on. ahhhh I'm just all over the place. I've had the same symptoms in my past clomid cycles and i never ovulated so i don't know what to think about this cycle, hopefully i do have growing follicles and i can get my hcg shot! i hope you ladies are having a wonderful day & ill keep you guys posted!

Lets Stay Positive!

Hello Ladies Happy Monday!

Today i woke up & i was feeling very happy and motivated. why? because the thought of one day being called "MOMMY" makes me so happy and ready for whatever comes ahead of me. Sometimes us women that struggle with getting pregnant go into this depression that NOBODY understands unless they have been there themselves. & as much as people try to give us advise & say things to encourage us, it just doesn't work. at the end of the day we have to be our own strength and motivation to not let INFERTILITY  take us down. We where born to be mothers, so lets make it happen! i might make it sound like its so easy & i know it isn't but if we sit around thinking how hard it is or how long its taking, we will only keep going backwards instead of forward! Think of why your going through this, not why should you keep going though this! I am not any kind of physiologist or anything, but i am a women going through INFERTILITY & i know the struggle & probably tomorrow ill wake up and be negative about everything for the 1 million time, but hey where human & its ok to be sad. Like i said to someone earlier today "why stop now when your this far into the game?".

On another note i have my Follicle ultra-sound this week (Thursday) so i am very excited and looking forward to this week! ill keep you ladies updated. Baby Dust to all of us TTC'ers! 

Last day of Clomid

Hello Ladies Happy Friday!

Nothing much has changed from yesterdays post besides the fact that today is cycle day 9 which means its my last day of clomid Yeayyyy! hopefully its my last cycle of clomid & i get my BFP. Like i said in yesterdays post, i have no side affects at all. i feel nothing. i really hope that it is doing something in there though :/ 

Clomid Update #1

Hello Ladies Happy Thursday!

i am on clomid 150mg days 5-9 & today is day 4. i haven't felt anything! no symptoms no nothing. I'm not surprised because in the past with all my clomid cycles I've never felt anything. its a good & bad thing, good thing because i have no side affects, bad thing because i feel like my body doesn't respond at all to the clomid specially since I've never ovulated on clomid. on a good note thou i have my ultra sound this tuesday coming up so ill know for sure what clomid does to my body. can't wait!!! i have faith that this cycle could be the one, but then again i always feel like every cycle is the one lol but idk something about this cycle that makes me feel like its it. so please pray for me and hopefully i get my BFP. i will update you ladies tomorrow to let you know if anythings new. Good night.

4th Medicated Cycle

Hello ladies happy Wednesday!

Run Down

i have done a total of 4 medicated cycles counting this month. the past 3 cycles i was with my obgyn, & he order for me to get some blood work done & that showed that i wasn't ovulating. since i wasn't ovulating i wasn't getting my period either. so on my first month of medication i took Provera +  50mg of clomid (didn't ovulate). 2nd month 100mg of clomid (didn't ovulate). 3rd month Provera + 150mg of clomid (didn't ovulate). also i want to add that during my medicated cycles i wasn't being monitor witch means i wasn't getting ultra sounds that should what was going on in my ovaries witch made no sense to me! all my obgyn was doing was giving me medication & me nor him knew what was going on besides they weren't getting me to ovulate. He wanted me to go on to 200mg of clomid & at that point i decide to go to a fertility specialist instead because there was no point of me taking higher dosages if we didn't know why they weren't making me ovulate. (Note: i never felt anything while i was on the clomid). 

4th Cycle

On January 13th, 2014 was my first appointment with my Reproductive Endocrinologist also known as a Fertility Specialist. & let me tell you that was the best decision me and my husband could have ever made!! seriously. i always tried to go around that route because i knew how expensive it was to go to and RE & since all my treatments have been out of pocket i knew i wouldn't be able to afford that kind of treatment. but honestly if i would have came here in the first place i can honestly say i probably would be pregnant by now. i didn't know what to expect on my first appointment, at this point i was feeling all kinds of ways & so many things came to my mind like "I'm not going" "how can we afford this" "what if nothing works" "will he be able to help us" ughhh so many things. & i am so happy i put all that aside and went to my appointment. my doctor is AMAZING and very optimistic! we went through all mine & my husbands medical history and we got to ask many questions. Just for my luck i happened to be on cycle day 5 on that day so he said we could get started with treatment right away! (he did say that he was almost sure i has PCOS).

January 13th, 2014 4th Medicated Cycle- I started Clomid 150mg + Metformin. 

January 14th, 2014 i went in to get my insulin checked to make sure what dosage on metformin i should be taking. (I'm not diabetic) insulin has to do also with infertility & metformin helps control that.

January 21st, 2014 i have a ultra sound to check if i have any follicles and if i do i will be getting a trigger shot.

if i do get a trigger shot, 2 week wait starts!!!
