Anyone else clomid cycle 1?

[kiwilove]

Good luck Mz!!! FX
Today is my last day of Clomid, and im so excited to see if this works.
I have PCOS so I don't usually ovulate, but I think I have been since taking metformin, but cycles are still very long. My LP was 11 days last cycle and am wondering if I should speak to my doctor about progesterone? I know that in the past I have had much longer LP and thought it was to be the same every cycle. Maybe things are just changing because of the Metformin. Does anyone know of any vitamins or supplements that may lengthen LP that would be safe to take while on clomid. Also wanted to add that I have had no side effects on clomid, which i was so nervous about.

Stress can most deffinately bring on early AF or even prolong it.

Sorry to hear u got af lionchild, how r u feeling?

Dont worry about no symptoms as I had loads and found out today that I didnt ovulate! Now im.questioning whether I ever have. So getting more.bloods this month to see if I need 100mg.

I'm feeling fine, candle. Thanks for asking. AF is gone now and I'm ready to find out what the RE has to say next week. Our plan is to minimize our BD schedule this cycle and try to time sex for right around O (after abstaining for several days). We typically have sex every 36-48 hours starting on CD 10 and ending a couple of days after positive OPK. The two times I have gotten pregnant were when we hadn't had much sex, so I'm wondering if DH has a sperm issue. We won't know his results until the end of the month, so we're going to see if the minimal, timed sex will get us a BFP this month.

How are you doing, candle?

kiwi, I lengthened my LP by a day with vitamin b-complex, but it took a few months to start working. I recommend taking it regardless. B vitamins are important for hormonal balance and give you energy.

That sounds like is def worth a try lionchild, perhaps DH has borderline sperm. We were told DH sperm was normal but I was told my bloods were normal for over a year, then got told they were borderline and now even with clomid not ovulating. Soo...I asked for the exact results of DH sperm and the mobility needs to be 40% and his is 43% so really that isn't great either!


Lesson learnt...make sure you ask for all the exact results and take a note of them. I hope this method of timing works for you

I have heard about b6 helping extend luteal phase however for me I dont think it worked as I have been on an expensive fertility multivit for 2 years. Also tried a lot of herbs and years ago last time ttc accupuncture and chinese herbs, none of it worked for me anyway.

Im feeling anxious and hopeful. hopeful that my actcual problem is not ovultaing and it can fixed, anxious because the clomid hasnt worked yet i did have a good follicle and as I was borederline I thought it would work!

Good luck kiwi! I hate the TWW! Let us know how you get on!

I have been using a digital CB test this month. I have had a high reading the last 2 days and got a positive tonight on a cheap opk Def a bit darker than it has ever been before.

Hey ladies, just an update
Clomid cycle 1 worked!!! after 33 months we are finally expecting!
How is everyone else doing on clomid?

 

[Lionchild]

That is amazing news, kiwi!!! Congrats!!!

I am not doing Clomid and likely won't again unless we make it to the summer when we'll likely start IUI. I am having a bunch of tests run from the RE this month-blood tests, HSG, and hysteroscopy. We just found out DH has a morphology of less than 1% and a high round cell count (but he has gotten me pregnant before).

I'll keep following the thread and checking in. I'm hoping to see some more BFPs!
