Morning ladies.....

hope everyone is well

I take off today for a mini vacation to Maine- just today til Monday- my cousin got married back in June on an island and now they are having the reception... but Maine is my home away from home and is so excited about going today

temps are steady at the moment which is good for me considering I usually spike and fall all the time... so I am happy about that.......

had a few twinges here and there but no serious O cramps- I don't think I have ever felt O pains before....

how is everyone else getting on with the clomid?

well have a great day and an AWESOME weekend.. I will stop by on Monday when we get home

Just spoke to clinic and as I ov'd this month they arent doing anymore monitoring so now have to go it alone on clomid, great! Wonder If I could pay privately for follicle scan?? x

well ladies today's day 3 of clomid for me. i'm about to take it in a minute! so far i haven't had any real side effects. just a little emotional...maybe?
yesterday i kind of felt like crying a little. and, i was very irratable at work, but that happens on a normal basis....

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.

 

[cheerios]

Anybody here on your 2ww too?

Torilou, you're testing in 6 days right?? Do you feel pregnant? I suppose since you have 4kids already (that's quite a number! ), you won't take long to fall pregnant again.

Hi I hope your AF comes soon! I know what you mean about heavy periods. I usually have heavier periods when my AF disappears for month(s). Maybe you can take some painkillers when you feel that you're starting to get cramps or something. I find that prevention is always better than having the full-blown thing.

arrived today! was shocked! no warning really, no spotting, just bam! so I can start clomid tomorrow what days are you all taking your clomid on? Part of me is tempted to take it cd3-7 as I have read of success on those days, but another part tells me I should listen to my FS and do as I am told lol

on the downside, AF is giving me back ache I just hope it stops there lol x

 

[megapatt01]

i'm taking my clomid on cd 3-7. i'm on day 6 right now. haven't really had any symptoms, other than one emotional outburst today, and a couple of hot flashes...

other than that, no sleepless nights or anything? anyone else?

 

[lynne192]

well i got so just waiting to start clomid this cycle.

 

[torilou]

Good luck with starting the clomid guys, looking forward to the first bfp on this thread! xx

 

[SmileyKez]

I'm on day 3 of taking it now, been taking it at night as a few suggested and so far no side effects! Also just been and bought some grapefruit juice too, mmmm it's delicious! Not!!

I hope one of us gets a bfp in our first cycle of clomid, it's be wicked if we all stayed on this thread and eventually got our bfps! Maybe we need a list of all our names so we can keep track! x

Good luck with the clomid this month hun, i cant say I particulary like it myself but needs must I guess XXX

Lace&pearls - I think it would be better to follow your FS' instructions. He's the professional after all and everybody's body is different. I don't even know which day I took my Clomid on, cos FS just started me on Clomid without an AF. He just judged it according to how thick my lining was and said that I didn't need an AF to start Clomid.

 

[cheerios]

Oh nice to know that you ladies are all starting on Clomid!!! Would be great to have our BFP soon!!!! Torilou, I think you're the first to test right??? Maybe we should start a list on who's here and what CD you are on.... and how Clomid has worked for you?

Maybe you can PM me or message me and I can compile it and put it on the first post on this thread.

Hey torilou,
I'm sorry to hear that its been taking a while with this one. But I really think that women who've been pregnant before, get pregnant faster again. I'm 4DPO. Don't really know which CD I'm on, because FS started me on Clomid without an AF. And my periods are pretty much rubbish (they are all over the place), so its easier to count from ovulation.
