Re: the verdict is in

[Guest guest]

Kathy -

I'm so glad that you are getting answers as to what is going on. You

probably don't want to be a member, but welcome to the no " O " club.

I have elected myself chairwoman of this elite organization, having

had no O in 7 months. But enough about me...I really hope that the

Clomid does the trick for you, we will be thinking about you.

As for your AF after Provera, I have taken Provera 4 times in the past

7 months, and I have gotten AF as early as while I'm still taking the

Provera (day 8 out of 10) to 16 days after I finish taking it. I

think that the norm is for AF to arrive within 10 days after finishing

the Provera. Bascially, your body goes thru progesterone withdrawal

and that causes AF. I have taken Provera for 5 days and for 10 days,

and I would recommend stopping the Provera if you get AF while taking

it (you can check with your doctor on that one, but that's what I was

told, and you are taking it to bring on AF anyway.)

Hope that helps,

I started the Provera this evening and I will take one pill a day for five

days. The nurse told me on the phone this afternoon that I should see AF

2-3 days after the last pill. Is this possible?

Tomorrow DH and I go in for injection training. On a Sunday morning! I

can't believe how accommodating these people are! DH's mother and father

committed suicide recently (yes, together), and we've had to tend to the

estate and sell the house. We've been between Mass. and CT every weekend,

so it's hard to fit things into our schedule. But the Fertility Center of

New England has been great. No one was supposed to be doing the injection

training tomorrow, but the nurse is going to do it just for us.

I'm excited to get going with this cycle!

Kathy,

Welcome to the annovulatin club.

Provera can bring on AF even before you take your last dose, or it

can take up to two weeks after your last pill.

Take it at bedtime, suprisingly, it can make you feel loopy and

tired.

I had a problem with annovulation after my lap, and didn't O even

after the first try on 50 mg of Clomid. The second cycle, they put

me on 100 Mg clomid, and that did the trick.

Hang in there!

Angie,

Let's say, for example, that I take the 50mg Clomid as instructed on Days

2-6 and I go in for an u/s on Day 8 (which I will). Now, let's say that I

have two large follicles. How will I know if those follicles even contain

an egg to be released? Is it possible that nothing could release?

Kathy D-

What a surprise about your O'ing ... you must be so relieved that you

pushed to get this evaluated! I'm so sorry to hear about your in-

laws ... that's one of those things no one ever thinks will happen to

them. What a blessing that you're RE office has been so supportive!

Please let us know how it goes!!

[Guest guest]

,

I was REALLY surprised that I'm not o'ing. After all, I was able to get

pregnant before, so I must have been o'ing at one time. Perhaps I was o'ing

once every three or four months and I just happened to get lucky! Now I'm

taking the Provera and it's making me tired and irritable. I had a meltdown

last night. Three more pills- that's all. Let's hope it brings on af so I

can get this cycle started!

Hi Kathy,

I could be wrong, but I asked this ques during my US. My tech said

that usually annovulatory follicles and/or cysts usually appear

cloudy on US. HOWEVER, note that I used the word " usually " :-(

Anyone else know about this?

Yes, yes..it is possible. I got AF 1 day after finishing my last

pill. And during a cancelled cycle I got AF after taking the provera

for only 2 days. If you get AF while you are on the provera ask your

dr if you should stop.

Good luck!! If they don't teach you this trick, remember it for

later. It always helped to rub an ice cube over the injection area

for a minute or so before DH injected me. It really numbs the area

and then you can assure him that you aren't in pain.

Oh Kathy, how tragic. I am so very sorry. I cannot imagine what you

are both dealing with. You and dh are in my thoughts.
