Snowangels,
How does your Dr. Know how many eggs were in there? And good luck this month!

Hello Prayerful4lilones!
She gave me an estimate after looking at my ovaries during a pelvic ultrasound, using a transducer…I call it the magic wand..hehe. The eggs are there due to pcos. I'd almost rather not know that! Yikes. Makes me wonder how/if I can reduce them, or can you get too many that your ovary will pop? Forgot to ask her all those questions :-/

HI Ladies,
I haven't been on here for months! But I would like to share my good news I am pregnant! after such a long journey. Years of trying and feeling hopeless. I am really scared. I go in for my first ultrasound Jan. 21st. I did 6 rounds of clomid. The 5th and 6th rounds of clomid I also did an IUI. Finally my prayers were answered.I couldn't believe it. After this last IUI and clomid round I was giving up. I needed a break emotionally and then our miracle happened. I still cannot believe it.So I hope my story helps all of you ladies that it really works It took me 6 times but it workes. :) Please keep me in your prayers.

MTaylor,
I think you should do what your heart tells you, if you are up for the fourth cycle on clomid, why not? I am on the same boat, I am currently on my third cycle and very emotional this month. If this third cycle does not work for me, I am giving up and done!!!!!! It's been too much of an emotional roller coaster for me and I am just ready to concentrate on other things. Spoke with my DH last night and had a good cry, I told him that the my Dr. said three rounds of clomid. Most people say that if it does not work the first three rounds, than it may not work. This month, I am using an ovulation kit and hopefully, this will help since I did not use it on my first and second cycle on clomid. I have two more pills, tomorrow and Tuesday. I am actually really excited to not take Clomid any longer after this round since I don't feel like myself when I am on it. The first month was the hardest, with a very bad headache and sore sore boobs and nipples, I thought that I may be pregnant BUT sure enough AF shows up!!!!!! Then, second round, I knew better, I didn't feel pregnant since I know my body well and know when I could be pregnant. I have a 3 1/2 yr old daughter and two miscarriages after giving birth to her, one at
8 weeks and the last one at 18 weeks!
Hope that GOD will answer my prayer and everyone's prayers on this blog.
It's so hard what we have to go through this but I know he knows the timing better than we do!

I will be praying for you! I am sure that it is hard not to let your emotions get the best of you. I to have heard that that if Clomid does not work in 3 months, then it may not work. However, I have heard others say that they got pregnant on round 4, 5 and 6 of Clomid, so don't get discouraged! I think you should make a decision based on what is best for you and your DH, rather than "statistics". They can be misleading at times. Hang in there!! I know it is hard to wait. I too broke down last night and sobbed to my husband. As much as he wants to be there for me, there are things that men just don't always understand.... He is a wonderful DH. He too wants a baby, but I feel he does not always understand. When women get together, they talk about their children. When men get together, they talk about work, sports, etc.. It is just different for women. I will be praying for you! Baby dust your way!

Hey ladies :)
I just finished my 5th round of clomid. Went to the doctor and my follicle was 21x18. Got my ovidrel shot today and Im going in Wednesday morning for my IUI. I am so nervous! Hopefully it works but who knows with my luck..I want to get off the clomid and go in and see if my body will ovulate on its own. The side effects have been killing me. So much weight gain and acne. UGH!
Good luck you you all!!

Congrats brandy78! Best wishes!!!
Mtaylor - I am exactly where you are. Third cycle, incredibly emotional to the point that I am DONE with this after this cycle. I feel like I'm doing damage to myself, I don't know why. I can't sleep and I'm extremely anxiety ridden. I'm on day 21 of my cycle and feeling also very gassy, bloated, headaches, back aches, and pains in my stomach. I feel like I'm getting my period really badly. We had to skip our IUI this round (not by choice, but thanks to the dr. not being available) and did the BD every other day with that Seed lubricant to be sure we gave it this last ditch effort. My dr. doesn't give me ultrasounds. I have no idea what size my follicles are now. I'm frustrated that after almost 4 years of surgeries, procedures and now drugs, I still dont' know whats going on. I pray that this cycle worked, but I've prayed for so long, somewhere deep down I don't have any hope for this to happen without having IVF. Especially since I found out that other family members could not get pregnant without IVF due to blocked tubes. Praying it doesn't come to that but at what point to I just accept it and move on... Baby dust to all *~~~*~*~*~*

mtaylor829:
I will be praying that you get a BFP real soon!!!! I start my first round of clomid next month. I go in February 7th to get everything started. I have heard that there are some not so fun side effects. How many times have you don an IUI? Baby dust your way!

Nicki-
It sounds like your dr isnt very helpful. The ultrasounds are used (at least to my knowledge) to let the dr know whether the clomid is doing its job or not. They also check my uterine lining to be sure it is not thinning out. It is a very stressful thing we are going through. My dh tells me all the time that my stress is probably a factor which Im sure it is but its so hard to keep myself calm...though I have gotten much better about it. Maybe give it a bit and try a different dr? I hate to hear it when people give up... :(
crmr-
I am not sure how many of the side effects I really had...other than the weight gain and the acne (really bad)...maybe moodiness but that could be just me l0l ;) This is my first time doing the IUI so Im not sure what to expect. I will keep you all updated tho :)
~~~~Baby Dust to All~~~~

Hello Ladies!
Okay, I went to Walgreens and bought the Robitussin with the active ingredient that helps CM while on clomid and I have my ovulation kit ready!
This is my last cycle on clomid and I am DONE! Tomorrow, I take my last pill, and than its all up to GOD! He is the giver of life and I firmly believe this. I am ready to move on and have my life back! I don't want to stress over having another baby anymore. If it NEVER happens for me again, I honestly say, I am forever grateful I have my little girl! Wanting this second baby so badly has really been a huge distraction and I feel so guilty for my daughter. Thankfully, I stay home full time with her since she was born in 2009, she is almost 4 now! So, I have been able to spend every moment with her and not having to miss out on anything. Her fist steps, first smile, first words, etc.....
For all those who are trying to have their first child, good luck to all of you and I promise that it will happen because it is God's WILL to bless all the wonderful women on this blog with a baby or babies that they so deserve!
Nobody really understands how we feel BUT at least we can blog and be there to offer great advice and support. I have felt very alone in this journey, everyone around me (family and friends) has had their second baby and some with their third. And they had no problems getting pregnant and carrying baby to full time. I lost my son at eighteen weeks, almost half way there.......... I was depress for a whole year and at the same time trying to get pregnant. Trying to get pregnant since November 2011.
I am ready to give up and say it may just never meant to be for me!
Good luck to everyone!!!!!
