Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Well, The doc did a preganancy test on 7/23, that came back negative. My LMP was 6/12 and had three days of spotting 7/1-7/3. He didn't seem to concerned about that and not counting it as a period. I saw him on 7/22 and he did an ultrasound. I had a follicle that measured 14 (not sure what that means). He just called me back and I am to start progesterone and then clomid on my first day of bleeding. On days 10,11 or 12; I am to go back in for another ultrasound. Never had to do this before and I am a little nervous. Thanks Bobbie St. Louis Mommy to 6/16/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 That sounds alot like the proceedure I went through when we were doing the clomid thing. The ultrasounds will tell how the folicles are developing and if they are large enough for fertilization. This tells the doc how to adjust the dosage of clomid as well as give a bit of an idea if you will be ovulating and even after ovulating you can see the empty folicle. Go with things and see how it works out for you and your doc.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 a follicle at 14 is good. My OB ultrasonographer told me they like to see them over the size of 12. Since your periods are apparently irregular, the provera will make you start a full blown period. Then on the first day of bleeding which will be counted as DAY ONE of your cycle, you start the progesterone and clomid. If you have a problem carrying a pregnancy because of a luteal phase defect, the progesterone can help give you the extra progesterone boost to help prevent a miscarriage from low levels. The clomid should last for 5 days right? Days 1-5 of your cycle? There are so many clomid days combinations, mine used 5-9 twice and then 4-8 once then 3-7 once. (one of the 5-9 days was successful. On day 10 I went in for an ultrasound and she saw 12 follicles (TWELVE POSSIBILITES OF 12 BABIES!!!!!!!!) and 2 days later I went in for my artifical insemination as I had cervical issues and wasn't getting the spermies to the eggies. well, thankfully, just one spermie made it into one eggie and I have a beautiful babie! Take a look at my profile pic and you'll see the *products* of my efforts!! I was nervous as well, but the book, " Taking Charge of Your Fertility " by Toni Weschler was wonderful. I suggest ANYONE trying to get pregnant by this book and read it cover to cover! GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES!!!! Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Bobbie, sorry, its me again. You didn't mention what your fertility issues are, but dont let them waste alot of time doing more than one or two provera/clomid combination cycles without finding out the cause of your infertility. I had endocervical polyps that the sperm were trying to fertilize rather than the egg and before they discovered the polyps weren't what they wanted, they died off. (sperms not too smart according to my fertility specialist! lol) GOOD LUCK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hi Shelia, I had PCOS pre WLS; he thinks it is gone, but my system is still way out of wack. He couldn't even be sure I wasn't pregnant last week since I am having all the pregnancy symptoms. I have the sore and enlarged breasts; mucusy discharge, have to urinate often and I have been really tired. I just think my body doesn't know what to do. I had no problems with my first child who is 4 now. I didn't have any problems until delivery. My pelvis was to small (go figure, the only thing small on me at that time). I have had the test done where they shot dye thru your tubes, and I will never do that again. I have 8 days of progesterone then a 5 day cycle of clomid at 100mg, starting the first day of bleeding. He then wants to see me on day 10,11 or 12. It is just so strange, cuz I never had a problem getting pregant with my first one and I am 70 lbs lighter now. Well, I guess I need to quit rambeling. Thanks for the info! Bobbie St. Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
