First Fertomid Cycle, New Here

Hey Betti!

I asked my Doc about the cramping and he said its normal unless it's unbearable. If it is then you should go to emergency and have it checked out cos ectopics can be so dangerous for you to. So if the cramps are manageable then I'm sure you are 100% fine and the little beAn is just where he/she needs to be.
I have been having cramps coupled with lower back ache and I read that could be signs of miscarrying but all was okay at the scan. Doc said its normal and I must just rub voltaren or deep heat to ease the pain and he increased my calcium supplement.

What I did when I had the cramps and back ache was lie down with feet raised and that helped sooooo Much!

Don't stress Betti. You will be perfect!

And here I read and see ive missed awesome news!

Congrats Cyntia TCS swartkat and Betti

Hey girls

TSC84 looks like we're almost the same...I am exactly 6 weeks today. I am also getting some sharp-ish pains around the ovary I ovulated from. TERRIFIED it might be an ectopic pregnancy, although I have no other symptoms thereof. My reading suggests it might also be the corpus luteum cyst disintegrating. My first scan is only on the 26th as my FS is on a conference next week, when I was supposed to go.

I have also been having some pelvic girdle pain, which is from stretching ligaments.

@ TSC84, I also hear stories that the OPK's give faulty results and I have also wondered about them as sometimes I am sure they are wrong. I use them as my cycles always vary but it doesn't help me either if they don't work as they should.

@ Cynthia77, I am sure that you are nowhere near looking like a hippo but enjoy this time when you can indulge in your favourite food and the cravings.

@ Morgan55, I also get these sharp pains in my left ovary before ovulation but last month I had no pains whatsoever, hmm its a good thing that I am going to the Doc. Happy that you are feeling the ovary pains and its a positive sign! I am supposed to ovulate on Thursday/Friday but seen that my cycles differ it could be later or a bit sooner. Maybe we will be on our tww together In the meantime I am going to read up on Clomid/Fertomid and all the various tests so that I can be well informed and ready to ask questions when I visit the gynae.
Will be holding thumbs for us

Hi Jay-Bee

Glad to help! We've got to stick together and support one another. I think facing this journey alone must be TORTURE!

Yeah, only second month this month and without the trigger shot, I must confess, I felt myself ovulating more than I usually do. Usually it's just this sharp jab pain for a brief period of time on my left (where tube is still (hopefully) ok) and then I know.

This time, I had sharp jabbing pains a few times and on both sides too! That was both weird and wonderful because at least I know that the ovary on the right still works, it's just the tube.

Also hope that this is our month!

Thanks so much.

You'll see, everything will work out ok and then all of us on here will soon be able to fill the 2015 baby train!

Thank you Jay-Bee................I just have this horrible taste no vomitting at least so am managing to keep the food in there though not for long coz it seems something gobbles my food as soon it touches my stomach. Am sure am looking like a hippo already.

Thanks Jay-Bee!

We are over the moon but will take it one day at a time

I took 100mg which is 2 pills. this was my first round of fertomid. for me the OPK's never worked. i did not get a positive even tho i def know i ovulated...
