Cycle 2

Well, cycle 2 was not a success either. Guess I'm going to have to wait for the third attempt.

The wait...

I don't like the waiting around bit of this! Can't help counting down! Only 11 days to go, then we'll find out if cycle 2 has been successful. Fingers crossed!

The drugs don't work...

Well, just found out that the first cycle has failed.
Feeling really down about it as I had been feeling quite positive & had got my hopes up. I know it's only the first of 5 cycles, but I was really hoping that it would work first time.
Really starting to feel like I should just give up as it feels as if it is never going to happen.
Heres to the next cycle.

I've now finished my first course of Clomid! Really hoping that it works! Haven't had too many side effects, thankfully. Have been having hot flushes (now I sympathise with all the middle age women at work!) which has been making it a bit difficult to sleep, so I'm a bit tired at the moment! Other than that it's not been too bad!
I've got to go for a scan tomorrow to make sure that it is all ok, then we just have to wait & see what happens! They've put me on a 6 month course, so if it doesn't work we'll just have to carry on with it for a bit longer.
I'm also really happy as me & hubby have just bought a boat!

Script

I have now got my prescription through & took it into the pharmacy today. Should be in tomorrow! Now I just have to wait for my next cycle before I can start taking it.
How exciting & scary, all at the same time! Fingers crossed this might just work!!!

Spoke to the hospital today. They've got all the test results back and they have all come back clear, so we are now officially class in the "unexplained" category. They are going to start me on Clomid next cycle. I have to take them from day 2 through to day 5, then go in for a scan to make sure that I am not hyper-sensitive to them and over producing.
My prescription will be in the post tomorrow! So exciting! Just hope that they work, if not we will have to go onto the more complex treatments.

HSG

I had my HSG done today. An interesting experience! (And not necessarily one I'd want to repeat!) Now I'm getting some quite impressive stomach cramps.
Thankfully I got the results straight away, so I don't have to sit around waiting! It all came back clear, so we are still none the wiser. In a way I am pleased that there is nothing wrong, but then at the same time I almost wish they had found something because at least then I'd be a little less confused! We have now been classified as "unexplained infertility".
Now we just have to wait for the doctor to contact us to let us know where we go from here. From what I was told at the consultation appointment a couple of weeks ago, the next step will be to try taking Clomid for a few cycles to see if that will help. They did warn us that there is an increased chance of multiple births when taking this, so we'll have to wait and see what happens! I just hope that this will be succesful as otherwise we are going to have to start IVF.
Once again, fingers crossed!
