Did clomid for 4 cycles with no success. Had the HSG done as well (about a month and a half ago), as well as some standard intrauterine ultrasounds.</p> <p>We also did a work-up to check my thyroid, hormones, etc. I do have low-ish progesterone. I also showed elevated levels for CA-125 which indicates Endometriosis. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-experiences-while-ovulating#post-2672503 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 17:36:35 +0000 travellingbee 2672503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GardenFloral: mine didn't hurt at all either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-experiences-while-ovulating#post-2672493 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 16:09:10 +0000 periwinklebee 2672493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I see, thank you, this is really helpful! :goodluck: with the clomid this time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-experiences-while-ovulating#post-2672489 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 15:53:32 +0000 dc yoga bee 2672489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: It means the egg is dead or shortly dies as soon as it's released. It has taken too long, and is dead before it can become fertilized. </p> <p>@GardenFloral: I asked the nurse was I going to be yelling, and she said no. It didn't hurt a bit, and was like2 min. My anatomy is different we learned as well. As in my right Fallopian tube is actually hooked crooked behind the ovary, instead of how it "normally" looks in pictures. It took the dye longer to come out because of it, but she said it should not be a problem. She told us to start having sex a day later. I had it done on cd 12. I got pregnant 72 hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-experiences-while-ovulating#post-2672439 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 13:07:03 +0000 GardenFloral 2672439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: What was your experience with the HSG test? My OB said it can be mild cramping but of course when you google (I should know better!) I read horror stories of how much it hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-experiences-while-ovulating#post-2672392 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 11:30:22 +0000 travellingbee 2672392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did clomid successfully to conceive my second baby. I was already ovulating but we used it, in combination with a trigger injection to "super ovulate"-- produce more eggs. I have DOR and the eggs I do have are poor quality. So the more eggs I ovulated, the higher chance there was for one of the eggs to be OK. That is what ended up happening. It took a few tries and we even did one cycle of IUI but the cycle we got pregnant on was just clomid, trigger and sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-experiences-while-ovulating#post-2672390 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 11:25:34 +0000 periwinklebee 2672390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Quick question - what exactly is weak ovulation? I've looked through past threads/googled, and this is something I still don't really understand. Does it mean the egg is release before it's mature, so it won't fertilize, or just that ovulation produces fewer hormonal shifts? Sorry to thread jack, I've been wondering about this for awhile...</p> <p>@GardenFloral: No insight on the Clomid, but wanted to wish you :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-experiences-while-ovulating#post-2672387 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 11:05:29 +0000 Eko 2672387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clomid didn't work for me and just using progesterone and baby aspirin helped me. Fx for you </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-experiences-while-ovulating#post-2672307 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 06:10:04 +0000 dc yoga bee 2672307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was the treatment plan outlined for me when trying for my first. My RE said that I had weak ovulation, as I didn't ovulate until day 17 of a 28 day cycle. She also advised that I had low progesterone. Clomid was her first line of defense to trigger a stronger ovulation. I had the HSG done as the last step in testing, and I ended up getting a positive pregnancy test the night before I was to pick up my prescription. She said the HSG flushes your system, and acts as a fertility booster for some people. </p> <p>This time around, we've been trying since March, however now I'm not ovulating until day 21 of a 28 day cycle. I had day three testing done this month, and everything came back normal. My nurse practitioner and RE are recommending we go straight to clomid. Same reasoning as above. I do ovulate, although they suspect it's weak.</p> <p>Also, my RE defines trying to conceive as having unprotected sex. It does NOT include using opk, tracking your cycles, temping, or any of the like. If you are not using a barrier method, the time counts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-experiences-while-ovulating#post-2672304 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 02:58:53 +0000 LAZB 2672304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You might want to search this topic, I know it's been brought up before </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-experiences-while-ovulating#post-2672303 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 02:52:00 +0000 Mrs. K 2672303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GardenFloral: I'm here with you on regular cycles and as far as I know I'm ovulating (according to the opk's). DH will be getting a SA and not sure what the nest steps will be.. I have an appointment on Thursday. Assuming all comes back normal I'm in the same boat as you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-experiences-while-ovulating#post-2667273 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 10:31:31 +0000 GardenFloral 2667273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curious if anyone has experience with Clomid when you already ovulate on your own? So far my blood work and DH's SA has come back normal. My OB has said our next step is an HSG test followed by Clomid. </p> <p>We're a couple months short of actively TTC for a whole year, but have been off BC for over 2.5 and not preventing prior to starting TTC.....so we're headed down the path of unexplained infertility which is super frustrating because while it's good to know nothing is "wrong" it's almost harder than having an answer or explanation. </p>
