Had my follow up with the DR

Braysmomma03 · #1 July 28th, 2011, 11:02 PM

We had our follow up with my gyno after all the testing he did on me and DH's SA.He said that DH's sperm are right there, a little on the low side but he doesn't see a major problem. All of my tests came back great. He wants to start me on Clomid 50mg next cycle to help boost my eggs and seems pretty positive that will be what pushes us to get pregnant. He said he thinks I will be pregnant within 3 months of using Clomid, but if not I go back for a higher dose, if not pregnant within 6 months then we go back and do a repeat to make sure the tests all come back good again. They want to send DH for another SA but it has only been a month so I am pushing it off for another 2 and see how they are. LOL He also said that he loves OCD charters like me and just kept making references to all the information I put into my chart, little does he know I spend 2-3hrs a day going over and over my chart.

That is wonderful news! I did want to say though that after 3 months you should not stay on Clomid as it does really thin out your lining

Sounds like a good appt. I hope the Clomid helps you to get your BFP.

YAY for a plan! I agree with Katie on the lining. Are they planning on monitoring you with u/s during the Clomid cycles to check the number of eggs it produces and your lining? The reason I ask is because the cycle before I started the Clomid my lining was a 12. The first cycle on it was a 7, and the second was a 3. The eggs may have fertilized, but there was nothing for them to implant into. Not everyone reacts with the thinned lining, but you won't know if you're in that group without an u/s. I soooooo hope this is it for you!

Woohoo sounds like a great plan

Do you ladies think I should try Soy instead of the clomid? I have heard soy acts just like Clomid but doesnt thin the lining. To be honest, I am not to crazy about the idea of being on Clomid, but then again I go What if t this is the only way I can get preg.

Sounds like you had a great appointment. Glad the test came back fine. I am no help with the Clomid questions as I have never used it. I hope whatever you do you get your BFP quickly!!

Sounds like a good dr's appointment. I hope that the clomid (or soy) works and you get your rainbow baby!!

I agree I wouldn't stay on Clomid longer than three months- especially if they are not going to monitor your cycles, and watch your lining. But I don't see why you shouldn't at least try it for a few months, then if it doesn't work give yourself a break- maybe try soy, or ask for a monitored cycle to see how you are really reacting to it.

Good luck!
