Default provera and clomid

Hey Ladies.
I am a new member to soulcysters, and i must say - from the posts i have already read i have already had alot of my questions answered. Now, I have one question for you girls. First of all my husband and i have been trying to conceive on our own for just over 2 1/2 years. I do have cysts on my ovaries but have had laprascophys done to remove these. We began by seeing doctors who basically told me to wait it out and try to get pregnant on my own for a bit longer, and if i didnt get pregnant within another 5 years i should come back and see them. Now, i was tired of waiting, and emotionally unable to wait this long. I decided to do something about it myself and phoned a doctors office when i moved into a new city. He had all of my charts and information faxed to his office, and i went to see him on Jan 6th, 2008.
After this doctor began seeing me he decided to start me on Provera at the dosage of 5mg for a period of 5 days. I began taking this on Jan 9th, 2008, and took this untill Jan 13th, 2008. Now, i am anxiously awaiting my period so that i can start with the rest of the things i was told to do, as well as anxiously wanting to start the Clomid.
On day one of my period i am supposed to call the doctors office to get an appointment set up for a "hysterolsalopingogram." Which i was told that i am to have on one day days 2-13. On day 3 my husband is supposed to have a Semen Analysis done, and i am to have bloodwork done. Between Day 12-20 we are to have intercourse a minimum of 24-48 hours as the doctor said that sperm only lives in a womans body up to a maximum of 48 hours. Day 24 i am to have a progesterone test completed. Day 35 i am to have a pregnancy test, and will have a vaginal ultrasound plus another pregnancy test on day 54. The doctor said if all goes well i will know if i am pregnant by day 54 or if we have to start all over again.
I am just wondering if anyone else has had any good experience on these drugs, and what the outcome was for you or maybe even a girlfriend of yours.
I am praying that our dream of eventually having one of our own will come true without having to go too indepth with fertility treatments. I realize that i might be hoping for a miracle, but miracles do happen.
Anyways, enough of my rambling..
Any Advice?

Default pregnant on first cycle of clomid

Hi Ashley

I am at a similar stage to you only as well as the PCOS, the doctor found that I had a uterine septum which has now been removed through surgery a few days ago. (this is like a band in the uterus which prevents you from getting pregnant or you have miscarriages instead). Anyway, I've had the surgery to remove the septum so it shouldn't be a problem for me anymore. I am on oestrogen for a month to help my uterus heal, and then after that I will start taking Clomid. My younger sister has PCOS also, and she got pregnant on the first cycle of taking Clomid - so that's a poitive thought for us. I hope you and me do as well!! here's hoping...my fingers are crossed for you.

Default terrible of the doctors

And by the way...that is absolutely terrible that the doctors told you to try for that long without offering fertility treatment!!!!

My husband and I have been trying for 6 months and will be trying Clomid in a month.

I really feel for you having to go through all that for so long! Six months has seemed like a lifetime so I can't even imagine what a few years would seem like!! All the best and hang in there.

Hi Ashley,

I am sorta in the same situation you are in. I am new here and i just started my provera yesterday. I am to start my first cycle of clomid 100mg daily on days 5-9 of my cycle. I am not sure what to expect and would love to hear someone elses experience with clomid. Also, I was taking Metformin 2000mg daily but my dr said not to take it that new studies show that Metformin really doesn't make a difference. I was excited because i could finally get rid of all the GI upset etc that goes along with taking metformin. Then I see that a lot of people here take metformin along with clomid and i was wondering if i should continue to take anyways. Need advice.
