3rd Times a Charm***Round 3 of Clomid (TTC#1)

[Hope1409]

Hi ladies!! So tomorrow I start round three of clomid. As you can tell from my signature, 50mg helps me ovulate, but we seem to keep getting bfn's. Please feel free to join, share your success stories and let's go through our clomid journey together for those of us still waiting for those double pink lines!

Let's make May Magical Conception Month

 

[Noora]

hey hope.. i O on my own but been trying for a while with no luck.. so my dr suggested clomid and i soooo agreed... tonight i'll take my last pill and i'm doing CD 3-7... my dr wanted me to 5-9 but i read a lot of success stories by taking it 3-7.

i had two early MCs , one Nov 2010 and second Dece 2011>> no reason ... i read a lot of MCs statitics on clomid but i'm kind off scared

BABY DUST TO US

 

[Hope1409]

I am so sorry about your miscarriages, I had an early one too back in August. We waited 2 months to start trying again. I always use digital opk's and always got the smiley so I never assumed I wasn't ovulating...especially since I fell pregnant. When I went for my annual in Feb, I pushed for some tests so my gyno did a thyroid test which came back normal and also a day21 test which came back at 5.1. I guess my body gears up to ovulate, but not very strong. So that's why he gave me clomid and I take it on days 3-7 as well.

I haven't read anything about mc with clomid. I rather not google that since I drive myself google crazy with everything else, lol. I just pray this time we catch the egg because I only have one refill left (he gave me 4 months worth) then I go back and he might send me and dh to a specialist.

Do you have any side effects with clomid?

Hi
I was in the previous Clomid 2nd time round thread but only because there wasn't a 3rd round group I finished my last dose of 100mg CD5-9 this morning. Only the usual ovary cramping and hot flushes to report so far. Apparently 3rd time really is the charm with Clomid, with most ladies getting their BFP's in the 3rd round. Good luck everyone

Hiii, I remember you from the other thread!!! Ooohh how I hope and pray you are right about the 3rd time being it! That would be so great. I take my first pill tomorrow. Af has become very heavy thanks to clomid. Last cycle it was intense along with the cramping. This time I spotted a day before my full flow which never ever happens to me. Are you being monitored at all? I am no longer going in for day21 tests so I basically have to reply on ov symptoms

 

[MamfaJane]

I haven't been monitored so far and this has irritated me slightly, my gynae has consistently been 'away' every time I need to go for a scan (3 months in a row). I ovulated on my own without the Clomid, I was given Clomid to strengthen my eggs and make my cycles more reliable, but I'm still wondering if it's really working, I've had strong O pains and pos OPK's but I've decided to take matters into my own hands this time round and go have a CD21 Progesterone test with my GP. I'm trying Preseed and CB Digi OPK tests this month too.

My AF was really heavy last month, couldnt go to gym for a week because it was that bad, but I haven't had any spotting, it's more like AF starts in full force on day 1, usually my second day is heavier but that hasn't been the case with Clomid. How did you find your side effects during the second round compared to the first?

I'm sending you lots of baby dust - hopefully we'll get it right this time

Side effects while taking clomid seem to be none. I was a bit more moody the second round but not enough to call it a "clomid side effect." I usually just get really gassy and crampy around ovulation. The first round was worse than the second.

As for the af cramps, the first round I started cramping a week before she was due. This month she just cramped me 2 days on and off and then spotting for one day and then full force yesterday.

Fingers crossed for us that we get our BFP!!!!

 

[ItsMyTyme]

Hello ladies! I'm not on my 3rd round of Clomid but I am in my TWW for round 2 and I just want to say best of luck and I'm praying for BFP's!!!

 

[notoptimistic]

Hi guys - I was on the "Proscribed clomid but already ovulate on my own" thread. Hope you don't mind me joining here as I am only in my tww of round 2 clomid/iui. I did 100mg again with an iui this past Saturday. Good luck to everyone!!

 

[notoptimistic]

actually - come to think of it, this is my third round of clomid. Phew - thought I might be kicked out I forgot about the one round I did without the iui before I met with the fertility specialist for the first time.

Do you have any side effects with clomid?

I really wish you better luck this time stay positive

my CD21 test was 27, which is great according to my doctor and I also had another one last month but this time two days before my period and it was 19also great coz above 5 after O time is good..thats why i will have to do only two rounds if this one doesn't work , next one will one will be 100.

I have no side effects with clomid other than hotflashes, what about you?

baby dust to you

 

[Hope1409]

Welcome ladies! Everyone is welcome so no need to worry about being kicked out, haha the more the merrier because all you ladies are a great support system!

I take my first pill tonight for round 3. Last month I had the relaxed approach but this month I am really nervous knowing I only have one refill left if this one doesn't work. I am trying not to over think but that's not always the case with me, lol. I was reading more success stories on google yesterday and how a lot of people got bfp's on the third and fourth rounds. Then I went to bed and had a dream I had a baby girl. It felt very real

 

[egg muffin]

[sasha0430]

Hey girls...I would like to join...I am waiting on AF...I am 17DPO and started to spot today so I should have af by tomorrow I hope so that I can get on with a round three...then I am starting 3rd round of clomid...what time do you all take it...I took it at night for last two cycles...I did not ovulate on first round of clomid but did on second...I think I had more side effects on first round...on my second round I was more emotional second and third day on the pill and seem that I was ok after that...well God please let this be a BFP round for all of us...

 

[rowdyratts]

That's awesome that the medication has helped. Have you also tried natural solutions? Maybe talk to a nutritionist?

 

[HopinAndPrayn]

Hi Ladies! I'm on my third round of Clomid and am 4DPO. FXed that this is it! Isn't the TWW killer?

 

[Hope1409]

Welcome ladies, I am so glad you have all joined

For the most part I don't get side effects from clomid, it's only during and after ovulation when I get the sore bbs and the expanded stomach that feels like its been filled with air, lol. I do have to agree that the first month was more intense than this last round. I pray this third round treats us all well.

First round I took my clomid at 8pm, last month I took it at 9pm and tonight I plan to go back to taking it at 8pm again.

The TWW sucks but we will all be there shortly and hopefully we will all end it with our BFP

 

[imanny]

Hello all! I am from the second round of clomid thread. Would like to join although i haven't started my 3rd round yet. Took HPT today and got a BFN. So frustrated! Waiting for AF to come and start my 3rd round. I'll be taking clomid on CD2-6. I hope it's ok that i join this thread now.
I really..really..really hope that the 3rd time will bring me luck.

Ladies, do you have any suggestions as to other things that i can do to help me conceive besides taking clomid? I don't mind the side effects of clomid as long as i can conceive but many BFN cycles even on clomid makes me really wonder if i can ever get pregnant after this. I have PCOS, and a bit overweight...tried to exercise but with my work schedules I can't seem to make time to exercise regularly. But if it's the only way to make me conceive, heck i'll force myself to do it!
