TTC with Clomid/Provera



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I am 27, was banded in January of 08 and have lost about 100lbs. My husband and I decided we were ready to start our family, and have obviously gone through the recomended year after surgery to do so.

I have struggled with PCOS my entire adult life, and haven't been on BC for the past 3 months (no periods either) so my doc prescribed Provera to "kick start" menstration, then followed with 50mg of Clomid for days 5-9 of my cycle.

Anyone else gotten prego with this regiment? What can I expect? We are super anxious to have a baby! Any thoughts or wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!:)

Good luck!

That didn't work for me, but invitro did! It can be a tough road, but there are so many success stories! Don't get discouraged if it doesn't work first round.

Hello, one of my bff's kinda had your same journey. No PCOS, but "interrupted ovulation" meaning she skipped it certain months with no explanation. They started TTC in Feb 08, and had 2 miscarriages last year. Early in Jan 09, they started keeping an eye on her bloodwork to make sure she ovulated every month. Started her on Clomid in March 09, as there were a few months where she got a period but didn't ovulate. Usually they only try Clomid for 2 to 4 cycles, and on month 3, which was late May/June, she got preg! So she's now about 4 wks along and they are closely monitoring her HCG and progesterone levels, keeping her on hormone supplements to prevent a miscarriage.

Keep positive and RELAX...my bff is naturally a tightly wound, tense person and I think it hurt her chances, because last month when she went on vacation, relaxed and had alot of laid back baby-making, it worked!

Good luck!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
