Not in my case, never took me more than 2 months to get a bfp with my ex but with my husband nothing in 15/16 months xx

Hey SmileyKez
Your chart looks great!!! WOw! DO you usually have regular AFs? Have you tested yet? Maybe you don't even need Clomid!

I do have regular af but I don't always ovulate, that was the first cycle I charted my temps!

 

[torilou]

Really peed off! Only 9 or 10dpo and just had first signs of af, ableit only pink but even on clomid I think it goes to show what ive been saying all along that I think I have a luteal phase defect, will be ringing the clinic again tomorrow as dont think this is good enough!

When I rang friday they couldnt tell me if my womb lining was in fact ok this month or not, just said the fs hasnt wrote anything on your notes so it must of been alright! Well did he even see the scan pics they took!

Not happy so going to go to bed and sulk now!

well ladies, round 1 of clomid is over!!! and i have to say, it wasn't as awful as i thought it would be. i had a few hot flashes, and had little outburst!!! now i'm just waiting for the days to BD, and get my BFP (or so i hope)...

anyone else just finishing up?

 

[lynne192]

do you ever get ovulation bleeding hun?

 

[girlmonkey31]

Hey girls, just wondered if i could join your group! Ive taken my first round of clomid 50mg, no side effects apart from hot flushes and a few headaches. Ive use OPK all month but not had a positive so im not holding out much luck this month. Im on CD 25 so i guess if ive not ovulated by now its not gonna happen this month?!

Have no idea how long my cycles are, but ive got a drs appointment next week as im going to ask for some blood tests or monitoring instead of being just left to it!

Well I used to think it was but no for a fact it wasnt this month as had my scan and my surge both last week, havnt had anymore and done a test today which was bfn which is ok as was totally expected so must of just been one of those things I guess, heres to round 2 clomid coming up and I hate it! Didnt get a wink of sleep last night as the pain in my boobs is horrendous, sore I can cope with but this makes me feel sick xx

Hello ladies, I am on my first round of clomid. I had a follicle scan today and I have two follicles on 16.5mm and the other 18mm - does anyone know if this is a good size. I was expecting two as I ovulate on my own but they wanted to increase the chances. xx

Hey, what CD are you? It depends on what day you are at. The later, the bigger the follie.

I think that's a great size! And 2 too! What dosage of Clomid were you on? I had 22.5mm just before I ovulated. Only one. And now am in my 2ww.

Hello, the plot thickens.... I have just come back from my scan - I am on CD13 and the nurse seemed to think I was starting to ovulate whilst doing the scan because of the position and shape of the follicles. However, I have 3 mature follicles!!! They have told me that from a medical point of view they have to inform me to abstain or use protection as there is a chance all 3 could fertilise which could lead to deformaties, abnormalities and premature labour... in all fairness they scared the crappers out of us! But a little part of me cant help but think this is the only chance we are going t o get at three eggies as they are reducing my dosage next month... we really aren't too sure what do and only have a few hours to decide.... why is this TTC such hard work?!?!?!?!

Hey lynne
I know what you mean. That's what I thought too. But my FS is one of the best in the region and his clinic is situated on one of the most expensive streets in Stuttgart - where I live. Hence, I trust that he knows what he's doing. He took bloods and performed ultrascans. That's how he knew from the hormones and lining technically which CD I correspond to. It makes sense too. If you didn't ovulate the last cycle, your body doesn't need to shed any lining because the lining didn't even thicken in the first place. Your lining only thickens when you ovulate. Besides Clomid worked this time even without an AF, so I'm pretty sure that's not a hard and fast rule.

 

[keepsmiling]

id go for it,, i mean the chance of all 3 gettin fertilised it pretty low xx

Hey torilou
Has your hubby got himself checked yet??? Since its obvious that you didn't have any problems getting pregnant with your ex. Sorry about how clomid makes you feel. But at least you knows it works for you.

Wow, that's quite a few follies! I really don't know what to say dear! Best would be to talk through it with your hubby and see what he thinks. And make the decision that brings both of you peace. Pray that God will give you the wisdom to make the right and best decision. Oh btw, I follow the blog of this girl who took Clomid a few times and just got PG. She had 3 mature follies too....and we don't know yet if all 3 have fertilised. But she and her hubby decided to go for it, because the TTC journey has been too long for her...about 2 years. THis is her blog, if you're interested... https://littleloomanlog.blogspot.com/

Yeah hubby has been checked, count of 151 million! So they either got his mixed up with someone elses or they dont like me! lol x

mama

Id say go for it personally, there are thousands of women that dont have any tracking whatsoever when on clomid so fs obviously know the risks of a triple pregnancy are extremely low otherwise we wouldnt all be allowed clomid without tracking, Im not personally having anymore scans so will never know from one month to the next how many follies I will have so.... good luck making your decision xxx

 

[SmileyKez]

How's everyone getting on with round? I've had a few headaches today and watched the last big brother and cried my eyes out, lol! Not sure if either things are down to the clomid or just me being daft!
I've also felt little niggles in both ovaries today, not sure if that's even possible after 3 tablets! Anyone know? x

 

[HapplyDreamin]

Hi Ladies! I hope you don't mind if I jump in. I started my first round of clomid August 25th - August 29th (cycle days 5-9) 50 mg. I went for my 21 day progesterone check on fri but I know I ovulated as I have ovulation pains when it happens. My Dr. is not tracking anything other then my progesterone to see if I have ovualated to see if I am on the right dosage or not, which it seems to be. We have been trying on and off for 6 years and we both had given up hope but recently decided to give it another try. Fingers crossed we all finally get our BFP's.

 

[keepsmiling]

how r all u lovely ladies doin,, any news xx

 

[mamawannabe]

Thanks Torilou and Cheerios - We decided to take the risk and BD both last night and this morning. We based our decision on the fact that we haven't even been able to conceive one egg for the last 26 months let alone three, and, hopefully the chances of triplets is very slim anyway. Even twins I wouldn't mind! So I am now entering the dreaded 2ww! Its very strange having actual confirmation that I ovulated at around tea time last night - normally I dont have a clue.

Cheerios - that blog was very interesting and I will be stalking it to find out what happens next!

How is everyone else doing?

I had funny niggling pains on day three and they had gone the next day - I also cried at "eveything"!!
