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

[hopefulfor1st]

Lemonade: my doctor said she likes to prescribe it earlier if you ovulate on your own and later (CD5-9) if you don't. I was taking it 5-9 and last cycle had 2 follicles. It seems that doctors go with what works for them and if you read online there are different opinions as well. I wouldn't worry about it and what will be will be. I'm sure you taking it when you did is better than not taking it. Good Luck!

I don't o on my own and my doc said 5-9 although he did also say he doesn't think it makes a huge difference when you take it!
I did get antsy though and start late night 4 through to 8.... Take it b4 bed so like 11pm figured it was close enough to 5-9!! Getting my cd21 bloods done on Saturday which will be cd22. Last time I took clomid I oved on cd21-22 and conceived ds! Hoping for o xx

 

[Lemonade]

Thanks ladies. I don't ovulate on my own either, so maybe 4-8 will work better for me.

Hopeful - I know what you mean about being antsy. The first cycle I took Clomid, I was up bright and early on the morning of CD 2 to take my tablet. Never been sp excited to swallow a pill! lol.

 

[LoveCakes]

My clinic recommends day 1-5. I don't ovulate at all on my own or get AF, so as long as there is enought time after AF for lining to build up the cycle days don't mean anything for me!

Last pill tonight, first night BD in a week later as hubby was away then AF. Woohoo!

 

[MummyDonz]

My specialist does days 2-6 but like someone said, they all say slightly different things. I'm not sure if it makes a lot of difference. First cycle of 50mg I ovulated on cd12 and this cycle cd21 according to ff, same dose and same days!!

 

[LoveCakes]

Anyone else get insomnia with Clomid? This cycle I keep waking up in the middle of the night since CD1. I've been so busy in work but normally that makes me sleep heavier.

 

[Lemonade]

I get the insomnia Lovecakes. It is the worst side effect, I think. My brain feels "busy" and I can't sleep (usually I'm a great sleeper). I had never heard of it as a side effect, but when I googled insomnia and Clomid it seemed quite common. Hope you manage to get some sleep soon!

I just ended my 2nd round of clomid 100 mg
Progesterone testing at 20 days says I was at 6.9.
If nothing happens this cycle I will be starting my 3rd round of 100 mg on day 3 of my cycle.
Baby dust to everyone

When I conceived my ds at cd22 progesterone was 7.1, they rescheduled bloods for cd29 saying that looked like late ov and on cd29 it was 36.

 

[Lemonade]

Ugh, these not flashes are so annoying. I'm still only on my last day of Clomid and the hot flashes usually last all the way to ovulation for me. So tired of feeling like this for half the month! I told DH (mid hot flash) that this cycle better result in a BFP because I can't take them anymore. Lol.

How is everyone else?

 

[lanet]

Hi girls. I'm now 15dpo and no af in sight. I thought af was here 2 nights ago bc when I wiped I had a bunch of light brown tinged cm and cramps. Then nothing since. Not even a spot. And THREE bfns today. I need put out of my misery. This is my 5th clomid cycle and this has never happened. Any insight? At all? I'm starting to wonder if I Od in cd 18 instead. What do you guys think?

 

[skarcm2010]

Lemonade: sorry to hear about all of the hot flashes. I just finished my first round of Femara and so far I haven't had as many side effects. Last night was my first hot flash.

Ladyluck: don't give up hope. My first cycle of Clomid that happened to me. My progesterone on CD21 was 6.8 and just like hopeful, I had ovulated late so the blood work was to early.

Lovecakes: I had insomnia really bad on Clomid. I feel for you.

AFM: I just finished my first round of Femara and have my ultrasound for follicle check is next week, Oct 29th.

 

[LoveCakes]

Not sure Lanet, what did you base ovulation day on? Hope it's a good sign.

Lady luck, do you know if you ovulated, e.g OPKs, progesterone may still be rising. Are they doing another test?

Sorry to hear that Lemonade, you'll be the only one still earing your summer clothes at the minute!

Still keep waking in the middle of the night, I was really warm when I woke this morning. Hoping it means my body is doing SOMETHING! My aunt is just back from a trip to see my cousin's new baby so have millions of photos to look forward to...

 

[lanet]

Lovecakes, I know it's hard for me to look at pics of everyone's new babies. Sorry and good luck to you. I based ov on temping and a progesterone draw, it was 15 and 4dpo. My temp is lower today, so maybe af is just late. 16dpo now. Maybe it was just a corpus luteum cyst. I don't know but this is hard enough without all the curveballs.

 

[lanet]

Lovecakes I also get insomnia, usually just on the nights I'm taking the pills. And hot flashes all the way through the month. And seriously emotional at the end of it.
