~2012 TTC on Clomid LET'S BUDDY UP!~

hi all this is not my first cycle on clomid but thourt id share a little of my story to bring hope to all you trying to concieve . fell pregnant on first cycle of clomid an now have a lovley 18 month old baby boy .

me and my partner decided november last year that we wanted to try for another so after our 4 cycle i am now 4 weeks pregnant with baby no 2 . so hang in there girls :)

Thanks! How exciting! Do you remember how many DPO you were before feeling pregnancy symptoms?


it can be a side effect it yes id also before taking each months clomid as im knowing thinking i was pregnant whilst on clomid as my last cycle was shorter sorry for late reply been visiting parents lol x

my first time i was around 7 weeks when i realised i was pregnant this time round ive had that feeling for weeks now . heartburn , headaches, and tiredness omg im sleeping like i havnt for a year . ill never take sleep for granted agen lol xx

Lol well you are making a baby inside of you! I am 3DPO but I've been sleeping sooooo much! Is this a side effect of clomid because I know it cannot be pregnancy symptoms. I'm also having tons of back aches and sharp pains in my left ovary. Ugh I hate feeling like this and not knowing what's going on lol.

Lol it's ok! I'm now having extremely bad back pain, mainly on my left side and it travels down my leg every once in awhile. I still cannot get enough sleep for the life of me! It must be due to having so much clomid (I only did 50 mg about 2 years ago, I just took 150 mg this time). I have been having headaches, now a cold is coming on I think because I keep sneezing and my head feels like a balloon lol. I feel like I'm on my period! I even feel a lot of times like my period has started, but when I go to the bathroom, all it is, is the CM, but not on my underwear (tmi sorry). I always pray it's not my period, but with my periods always being sporadic before I don't know what to expect lol, but this back ache and cramping in my lower left abdomen is driving me crazy! I am 5/6 DPO now, so I'm praying it's implantation bleeding, but I'm never optimistic with possibly being pregnant anymore, now I just tell myself it's the clomid b/c it is way too early to be pregnancy symptoms. Hope your visit was pleasant with your parents!



yes that exactly how i felt i thourt the cramps were because i were due a period but after a week decided to take a test and came up possitive . and its never to early my docter says im 4 weeks pregnant but for weeks now ive been feeling sick aving headaches that are as worse as miagranes also mitalic tastes in my mouth . but never thourt anythink of it thn it dawned on me tht i was pregnant agen. how many cycles av u taken so far . 4th one worked for me on 5omg .


do u take ovulation tests x

I guess you could call this my 2nd cycle of clomid being I took clomid only one month 2 years ago? If you don't qualifiy that then the first round lol. I don't do ovulation tests because I used to get a lot of false positives and the dr would tell me that I did not ovulate, so I just stopped wasting the money and hope for the best. My headaches aren't quite migraines (although I'm prone to migraines, weird how they never develop because most headaches will develop that way). I have had a metallic taste in my mouth at 3 DPO, so thought it was just the clomid. I've been extremely sick since I ovulated, and yesterday whenever I smelled like food come by at the restaurant, and the people that gave samples at Sams club, I would almost vomit. I smelled Shrimp Scampi (which I love btw) and I did actually have to run away because I did vomit a little in my mouth (tmi sorry lol). I generally don't have a squeamish stomache (was a housekeeper in a nursing home and I had to clean up a lot of disgusting things lol). I take blood work tomorrow to find out my progesterone level, and then go in next Monday to talk to the dr about it, hoping I hear... BFP! Lol... but I'm not getting my hopes up.
 
Hi Felecia.

What is strange, is that my cycles are somewhat normal, ranging from 26-38 days. I have never been on BC ever.

I have Kaiser, and the regular doctor or OBGYN wouldn't do anything with me. I went to the OBGYN to ask about my severe menstrual cramps. She said she thinks I have endometriosis, and ordered blood work and an ultrasound. My blood work came back crazy showing PCOS, but my ultrasound came out normal. So then I was freaking out thinking I had a tumor or something lol. She referred me to the endocrinologist who then diagnosed me with PCOS and female infertility and told me to go to the FS. So now, I had to get MORE blood work done and DH had to get blood work done and a SA. Once she gets all of those results, she is submitting them to the FS for approval and we will go from there!

Hmm... never heard of Kaiser what is it, if you don't mind me asking? I was told they can't tell you have endo on an u/s; a girl that I know had to take another kind of test, but I can't remember what it was called. I hate the stupid waiting game, and it feels as if doctors never hurry anything along. Just like bloodwork, you're telling me you have to wait to get the results when this day and age they can't get it the same day? lol... ugh I just hate that! My husband had a SA and his game back like 89% mobility and 64 million released, something of that sort so the dr said that was good. At least we know it's just me... which really doesn't make me feel any better. GL on your blood work, I had to take a ton of it before they finally found out I was insulin resistant.
 
Yeah, I hear ya. I am tired of waiting!

Kaiser is just an insurance company. They are one whole unit....insurance and doctor's. So I can only see Kaiser doctors and go to Kaiser hospitals. It is kind of nice because all of my doctors know everything I have been going through since it is all in my "medical record". They are all linked together.

My doctor told me the only definite way to diagnose endo is through a lap. I am not ready for that yet! Lol

Hi ladies! I'm 25 years old and trying on clomid for the first time! I haven't had a period for 10 months and my Fert Specialist prescribed clomid and 2 days ago they found a 16mm follicle in my left ovary! So just BD'ing every night to ensure there's a swimmer to meet the egg when it comes out :)

Anyone else who is a first timer on clomid this year?! I would love to have cycle buddies! So far we have:


Felecia - 25 yo, 150mg clomid, 1st cycle
Wantabubba - 25 yo, 100mg clomid, 1st cycle
Hope1409 - ? yo, 50mg clomid, 1st cycle


OMG!!! Can I be your cycle buddy? I'm starting on the exact same date as you - 13 FEB!!! Clomid 100mg, 1st cycle, starting 13 Feb.

Did you do HPT??? Mine was BFN this afternoon with diluted urine, gonna try tomorrow morning

Thanks! I'm trying not to read too much into it. I am 6 or 7 DPO currently and I am having the worst lower back pain! I honestly feel as if I'm having my period and I'm so emotional. I hope this is it, been a heartbreaking journey. Congrats to you! :)

Lol I feel dumb now, but that would be great to have so they have your records. I wouldn't want to have a lap done just yet either! GL to you!!!
 
Don't feel dumb! Kaiser isn't in every state! In fact, they are only in a few states. So of course, they probably don't have one in Missouri which is why you haven't heard of it :)

Also, I am about 8DPO (I think). I see you are maybe 7?

I am going crazy! I just want to test now!

Do you have any symptoms? I am just sick, with light cramps off and on since O.

I'm actually more worried if I ovulated honestly that's why I'm not going crazy to test lol. I have been cramping since my "o" date and I had severe pains in my left ovary area that lasted a couple days after I think I did ov. I've Ben prett nauseous when food is near the last couple of days, it's only when like food passes me though; it's weird to explain lik. I started having a backache 1DPO but yesterday and today it's been so excruciating I can swear I'm having a period. I have been overly tired with headaches as well. I haven't experienced ovulation before so I keep telling myself it was due to that and clomid. Have you had any?
 
Oh alert leg and breast pain. They are like shooting pain off and on.
 
Yeah, I also had a stabbing pain, but in my right ovary area. That was a couple of days after "O" day. I also had it Saturday night too. I also have had light cramps off and on. I did too have some back pain in my kidney area on Saturday. But I think I just pulled a muscle from golfing that day.

I am also like you, I don't know if I did O or not. And this is my last hope to get a BFP before I have to see a FS. I don't want to see the FS. I want to be able to conceive naturally. Ugh. Guess we will find out soon enough! When are you testing?

Even though this is kinda my first dose of clomid, he said if I don't ovulate then I have to get injectibles and I do not want to go that route, so might ask if I can try at least one more mont if it doesn't work this month. I think I'll wait it out till next Monday when I talk to my dr. What about you?
 
Injectibles scare me too lol.

But honestly, I heard they are not TOO bad. My mom takes injectibles for a new HCG diet she is doing. And she said the needle is so small you don't feel a thing. She said it is way less bad then getting your blood drawn (which doesn't hurt either).

I am still waiting to see the FS to see what their action of plan is. I am sure I will have to get more blood work done. And we are also waiting for DH's SA results. So I am still in the waiting game.....

Welcome :) I hope it does wonders for you!! I don't have PCOS officially but I am insulting resistant. Have they put you on anything or just going to do clomid for awhile?

I was told to BD every other day starting on CD 5 or 6 until you ov or if you don't know when you ov then at least until CD 19 because Clomid can affect everyone differently.
