Actually had a Positive Drs experience

[Bellarina]

Hi girls
Had my gp appt today ....he was really lovely (compared to the crap woman i had in december)

he is basically referring me for an ultrasound scan (should be in about 6-8 weeks)...and a gaenecologist which shood be in about 12 weeks....hes also given me a pot for dh to do a sperm sample

hes said basically it could be PCOS...but even if it isnt i need to be given something to regulate my cycles....so likely to be put on clomid (anyone whos been on this can you please tell me a bit about it)

hes told me theres no point doing opks as we have no idea when im ovulating so its just making me more stressed. hes also told me to stop the ac and the temping as he wants me to destress and only take folic acid and check my cm and have lots of sex lol

anyway iv come away from the appt feeling alot better as at least this dr has actually done something to get the ball rolling

so yeh thats about it really a positive outcome

Ooooh that all sounds good! At least things are moving forward and I think it's good your to stop opk-ing and temping at least you can just enjoy eachother while your waiting for your tests! All the best

hey. im on clomid. clomid is generally for women that are not ovulating to kick start their ovaries but can be used by women who are ovulating (ie me!) who have weak ovulation. (weak ov bacially is what is the general term when things are all a bit borderline - is borderline short leutal phase, borderline low post ov temps, spotting before AP, etc.

it works by stimulating the ovaries by tricking ur body into thinking that at the start of your cycle (u take it for 5 days days3-7 or day5-9) that u arent producing enough estrogen so your body goes into overdrive producing more estrogen so you get better follicles so better eggs.

the prescription is generaly 50mg a day and can rise upto 150mg.

clomid can affect cm, and many women dont get any when on clomid whihch is no good as we all know the importnance of it so most use preseed or concive plus or something.

good luck, hope this sorts everytihng out!!

Glad your finally getting sorted hun.

I've had 6 rounds of clomid and really hope I don't need more. They made my hot flushes worse and the agony I was in when they forced me to ov and during my period was dibilitating. By the 6th round I couldn't BD at all during that cycle as was far too painful and we used pre-seed!
It made me want to give the whole thing up. BUT I have VERY heavy, extremly painful and long periods anyway before was put on metformin (only had 1 to 9 AFs a year)

Oh the clomid days I had to take it was days 2 to 7 and due to pain I had many scans to make sure I wasn't hyperstimulated.


Everyone is differant tho and many take it without any problems. Just remeber if oyu get immense pain on it go back to hospital and they'll scan you to rule out hyperstimulation

Good luck!

thanks hun im glad everyone is telling me their experiences whether good or bad as it means i will be prepared and not under any illusions. I usually have reactions to stuff so im fully prepared to feel crap, just hope i get something at the end of it you know

sorry it was so bad for you hun must have been terrible.
Yeh il be sure to let them know if i react badly to it...this is if they even prescribe it to me, im just going by what dr has said is likely to happen

very best of luck sounds like a lovely doctor u have there xxx

 

[Kiki0210]

I think I need to find a different Doctor! "Come back in May" wasn't the most helpful suggestion and feel myself getting more and more stressed out! Good to hear other experiences and know there are helpful docs out there! Thanks girls x

Hi Bellarina.

I have PCOS and i'm trying to conceive. I have been put on folic acid and i also take Metformin Slow Release at 2000mg a day. This has helped me so much have periods quite regularly. Well more regularly then when i first diagnosed and went on the pill.

I only have a short time scale to conceive but yeah i've had my ultrasound scan and bloods and that etc...
I need to be put on chlomid aswell so hopefully come march 29th i will have an idea when i shall be taking chlomid as this is my gynacologist appointment.

My friend took chlomid as she had really severe pcos and was not ovulating at all. She had a course of 5 tablets which she took on her last day of her period and each day they got higher in strength. She then had sex on her fertile days cos with chlomid it usually makes you have a 28 day cycle. & yeah she conceived 1 st time around and shes had a lovely baby girl last week.

I'm just waiting to see if they will give me chlomid on that day i have my gynacologist appointment as they did with her.

BABY DUST TO ALL!!
