Kari, I have a quick question about taking the Femara on days 5-9 vs 3-7. Did that seem to cause later than normal ovulation? Of course I don't even have a normal time frame for my own ovulation. Mostly just curious.

[karidpt]

Doesnt cause a later O for me.... They say 3-7 is for quantity and 5-9 is better for quality... I sort of like the later 5-9 bc I feel like my body doesn't have a problem in the start but needs a little kick in the ass right when AF is stopping...which usually days 5-9. I have really only been doing 3-7 bc I usually do injections too.. Or some sort of combo...... If taking just one oral meds, i would opt for 5-9. There are no studies i could find on it though...... This cycle I am doing 4-8..... Maybe you could do a happy medium like me, lol.

[krys90]

Yea maybe so. Although I am not sure what the plan is if this doesn't work.

Hey Kari, I'm still here. I've just been keeping my distance a bit. The last few weeks have sucked. I had yet another miscarriage. I started spotting on Mother's Day of all days. I had a quant done a few days later and it was 60, which was really bad since I was supposed to be over 5 weeks at that point. I had another quant done 48 hours later and it was 51 and then I started bleeding the same day. I had another quant done last Thursday, and Friday they called to tell me my number had gone up to 500+. Ugh. I was freaking out that it could be ectopic so I went to the ER Friday night. Ultrasound was normal and didn't show anything since my numbers were so low, but they recommended I get a shot of methotrexate in both legs in case it was ectopic. So that's what I had done. I've heard the side effects can be horrible from that shot but so far I haven't had many at all except for some ab cramping. I just want this to be over. At least I never got my hopes up too high when I found out I was pregnant again. Isn't that sad? Most women are overjoyed when they find out but for me it's just the beginning of another hurdle to get by.

Has anyone gotten a shot of methotrexate and if so when were you able to try conceiving again? My doctor said about a month but I've heard you are supposed to wait longer.

FL, I'm so sorry! I was worried about you. I hate that this keeps happening, do they know why, was it chromosomal? You were doing all the recommendations for the clotting stuff right?... Its just not fair, it's like an impossible hurdle and then when you make it over its just taken away. I know what you mean though, I will be excited if I ever see 2 lines, but I won't let myself get to happy bc I know how easily it can be taken away. I think chelseaf in the momsttc group took that with her ectopic, not sure how long she has to wait, it was either 1 or 3 months... That's what's sticking out in my head. She is now pregnant again after that. My heart hurts for you, I will continue to pray for you! So sorry!

Asa, are you close to O?

Krys, did the spotting stop?

[krys90]

FL, so sorry to hear it happened again. I HATE pcos and what it does to all of us.

Kari, yes it stopped later that day. Not sure what it was but since it didn't last long I decided to skip calling the doctor.

I am seriously so fed up with my body and it's issues. I keep telling myself I will start OPKs the next day but then morning comes and I just don't have it in me. It is all I can do to temp in the am. I really am almost to the point that I feel a full out hysterectomy would be more beneficial to me than trying all these seemingly futile infertility treatments. At least then I would have some relief from the pain and unpredictability.

Krys, I know that it's hard, but you definitely cant give up now. If you really think about it you haven't even had much of a chance. Its been a year, sothats definitely tough, but in that year You haven't been Oing on your own. The meds don't seem to be working for you, so of course you can't get pregnant without Oing. You just need to find the right meds to make you O. You're body might do exactly what it's supposed to if you have a strong O and actually release an egg. Hang in there and keep working with your docs to find what meds or combo of meds will get your body to respond properly.
