FRIDAY TTC POST

Hi Girls!! I don't have time to put up the list or do personals today, sorry. Holiday weekend is super busy where I work and I also have visitors from out of town. Hope everyone is doing well on their ttc journey. I will read the updates, so be sure to post. Hope you all have a nice long weekend! Shari

Hi Shari,
After DH's diagnosis of Klinefelters back in Dec, We are now starting 1st cycle of IUI with donor sperm. Supposed to start Clomid on Monday- Anyone have any malabsorbtion issues with  Clomid?

Have a good long holiday weekend everyone,
Lisa

Lisa..great news that you guys are moving forward. I was clomid resistant, but I don't think it was a malabsorbtion thing, more of a pcos thing. I still ovulated, just later than they would like for an iui. What dose and days are they starting you on? Keep us posted for sure okay. Good luck. You and hubby will be in my prayers. IUI cycles can be stressful, and the clomid can play havoc with your emotions...so warn hubby now...lol Shari

Thanks Shari! They have me started at 50mg 1 daily for days 5-9 (later than most, because most of the times I would O later in the cycle- Over 15 cycles it ranged from cd 13 to cd 35 and day 13 only happened once, so FF averaged it as day 21)... Little scared of the meds, and then the trigger shot, but have warned DH lol.

Lisa,
I used Clomid after RNY- my dose was 50 I believe. I conceived fraternal twin boys. I also used clomid before surgery which resulted in a healthy single baby. I think having the surgery helped the clomid work better, although twins were still a surprise! Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions about it. I also found that I had less side effects this second time around- before RNY on clomid I had a lot of hot flashes and mood swings. This time around was more mild too. Go figure. While we didn't use donor sperm, all of my kids were conceived through IUI. Good luck!

Hi Carrie,     50mg is what they are going to have me take too. I'm a little scared of twins, so I guess we will see what happens ;)   And hopefully the actual side effects will be minimal for me too- but I have warned DH just in case hehe... Thank you and I will look for you when I have some questions :)

Lisa

Hi Ladies,
Just wanted to wish you all luck!
Lisa, Thats wonderful keep us posted.

Thanks Amy, and congrats to you if i wasn't on to say it before :)

Lisa

I start Provera on Monday the 31st to start my cycle; then will start Clomid.  We have had to time everything based off of when the DH comes home from work (he has been working away the last few weeks)  Hopefully, I will have an update in a few weeks! Good luck to everyone else!

Looks like you and Lisa will be cycle buddies!! Good luck and keep us posted okay! Shari
