anyone else starting clomid next month, or can share their clomid experiences?

[MummyDonz]

Hi girls! I just took my third pill of my first round on clomid. I haven't felt any side effects really except maybe one hot flash and some moodiness. I'm almost nervous no side effects means its not working. Fingers crossed it makes me ovulate!
Good luck to everyone this cycle!

I'm in the 2ww now after my first cycle on 50 mg. I also didnt get any side effects when taking it but when ovulation was happening I had really quite painful ovaries! I kinda enjoyed it as I knew the clomid was working. Resulted in 2 good follicles 19 and 26mm

Hi Mummydonz, wow two nice sized follies is great news! Sounds really promising!
Funny thing just a few hours after posting about lack of symptoms I started to have quite the dull ache in both of my ovaries. If it was closer to day 14 I would have expected maybe o pains, but I'm only on cd 5. Did anyone else have cramps or ovary aches early on in a clomid cycle? Thanks ladies for any responses!

The cramps are a good sign of the follicles growing.. That's what the specialist said to me. If your anything like me.. These cramps get worse! According to ff I ovulated 6 days after my last pill and I took pills on days 2-6 so quite early. I also got positive opk's and then a temp rise (for the first time) do definitely ovulated

 

[Trina86]

Mummydonz, thank you for letting me know the cramps are normal! You made me feel much better! I am only being monitored with a 21 day progesterone test so I'm just unsure if the follicles are developing as they should. What cd are you on? FX for you!

 

[steph_466]

Good luck Trina my doc told me the same! Pain is a good thing. Comgrats Mommydonz!! Thats really exciting!

Yay, Mummydonz! That's awesome news!

So, update: Called the doctor's office this morning (since it had been a week since my blood test/ultrasound, and she definitely had information for me. I got to start estrogen today AND I'll be taking progesterone before I go to sleep!! my doctor has me taking estrogen in the AM for 7 days and progesterone at night for 10 days and I get to take these at the same time, which is nice. I was thinking I'd have to take estrogen for 7 days THEN progesterone for 10 separate days. *Whew*. I'm having to take the estrogen in addition to the progesterone because my uterine lining WAS thin, but that doesn't shock me.

Hopefully in 10 days, I'll have a good AF and I can get started with clomid soon after! WOOHOO! (Still in a little shock that I'm gonna get to try and make a baby with the possibility of it ACTUALLY happening, LOL). When you don't ovulate or cycle on your own, it's hard to feel like you're "trying", without assistance. Now that we're doing all this, it's like FOR REALS and we are actively trying to get pregnant.

Nervous, but very excited to see what this first cycle of clomid is like. Good luck to all of you!! FX for us all.

Starbunny that's fantastic! The waiting is the worst part.

AF got me yesterday a day early. I had my wee cry on Monday when I realised it wasn't our month so actually yesterday I was pleased to see AF and start a new cycle. It means I actually ovulated for the first time woo hoo. I go for another scan this month to see if lining is still thin but I'm hopeful it isn't as last month I started clomid the day the Mirena came out. Test day is OHs birhday...

Awww, LoveCakes! So sad to hear that it wasn't your month, but I'm excited for you that you actually ovulated! FX for you on this cycle!

Yeah, I'm so thrilled to be taking the estrogen and progesterone right now. I think I should have an AF next Friday. *Hopefully* I"m ready to get this party started!

 

[MummyDonz]

Hi ladies, I'm now 9 dpo according to ff although I think 8 dpo. Had a little temp rise today and had a sudden sharp pain in uterus and then again 20 seconds later that stopped me in my tracks, nothing since.

 

[mrsmuff17]

I'll be starting Clomid soon, too. Hope it works for you. Best of luck!!

 

[Starbunny711]

AHhhh! Good luck to you Mummydonz! Let us know how everything goes and if this cycle worked for ya! I'm on my third day of estrogen + progesterone and I am SO impatient to start my new cycle and try clomid...ARG. I keep scouring the internet for success stories and whatnot. LOL. It's nice to be super excited about this process for once, but I'm trying to be "cautiously" excited, as I know I need to be realistic with my expectations, LOL.

Oo (to the previous poster, sorry I forgot your username after I hit reply), maybe we can be clomid buddies! I'll be starting soon as well.

 

[steph_466]

Starbunny wow lots happening for you!! Thats really exciting!! Im on my second month of clomid now, cd 24. Next month I will be out of refills so im not sure what is next? Maybe this ultra sound for lining thickness? I really have no idea. Im crampy, (different crampy) so maybe positive news or af is coming sooner again this month. Who knows!! Lol wish I could snap my fingers and get that bfp already! Good luck girls!

Thanks, Steph! Oooo! Good luck to you! Hopefully you'll get that BFP asap!! I'm really hoping for a BFP with my first cycle of clomid, but I know it can take several cycles for that to happen, LOL. It's hard not to get my hopes up, but I know it'll happen when it's supposed to happen. FX for you! Let us know how it goes!

 

[steph_466]

I hope it goes smooth for you! My first month was a breeze, second month has sucked! So if nothing else maybe the third month will be my charm! I knew it worked the first month, I had ovulation pains, a heck of a lot stronger than I figured they would be.

I've also just finished my first cycle on clomid, infact I'm 13 dpo and temp remains high. Haven't tested today as I'm just going to wait it out now.

 

[steph_466]

Mummy when is AF due?? thats exciting!! I wish I would have temp'd this month!

 

[MummyDonz]

My periods were few and far between hence why I went on clomid. Ff is saying its due Wed, I'm guessing because that'll be 15 days since ovulation so should arrive then. However Ive heard that clomid can increase your LP.

 

[steph_466]

My period on month one of clomid was shorter than usual. This month my app says its due next week, but I've been crampy for two days now, so any day im guessing. Last month I had a bit of spotting before af, but nothing this month? Ahh I wish answers were just available, I hate always waiting! Good luck my dear!

 

[MummyDonz]

I haven't had any cramping yet. We just seem to be 'waiting' with everything! I've read ladies on clomid hav had an LP of 20 days before!!! God, hope I'm not waiting that long, want to move on to second cycle if this one hasnt worked!

Whoah!!! 20 day LP? That's crazy! I hope that the waiting gets a bit better for you, MummyD! I agree with all y'all on the waiting thing. That's the hardest thing.
