Can someone tell me about their experience with clomid?

[pinkmommy]

I am currently getting all my blood tests done before starting this, we have our first clomid visit March 20th. Can you tell me how it was for you and how long it to you to get pregnant. I am Oing I just need it b/c my cycles are too long and I have a weak O. Also I only have one ovary which right now has a cyst and they wnat to get me pregnant with #2 ASAP so I do not lose my ovary before then. thanks

Howdy. I have PCOS and they put me on clomid. I was on two cycles of it and got my BFP after the second cycle. The side effects weren't horrid. Headache, some dizziness, hot flashes, one day of bitchiness...nothing unbearable. My first cycle of 50mgs I ovulated, so I did another cycle and they said I did NOT ovulate...but turns out I ovulated a week later than they would've thought. Good Luck!

I am Oing, so they are using it for me b/c 1. my cycles are longer and longer each month so they want to make my O stronger and 2. I ahve a cyst so they want to get me knock up ASAP.

Do you think b/c I am already Oing on my own and just need to it make it a stronger O that I could possibly get BFP the first cycle using it? If I do my EDD would be my daughters b-day. Just asking.

I am also starting clomid next cycle. I ov most months but my cycle is very irregular. I am on CD35 and still haven't ov'ed yet. I also have low progesterone. My dr told me to take it on CD5-9. He said I have sub-par ovulation so this is suppose to help produce a strong ovulation. I am suppose to call them on CD11 to arrange for a scan to see if I will be ov from my follicles. Then I need to go in on CD21 for a progesterone and PCOS test. Good luck to us and lots of baby dust!

Anything is possible! I wasn't ovulating at ALL on my own, so...

Good luck to y'all!

i have been on clomid and metformin for 4 months with no bfp yet but i am ovulating now. side effects for me were modiness, couldn't sleep, headaches, dizziness and hot flashes but all of those were bearable.

good luck!!

Lee Ellen it is nice to see your post on the Clomid. It sounds like a few of us are in the same boat. Dr and I discussed Clomid, but I have to do CD3 blood work and HSG next month of we are not PG this month. I have long cycles as well, but am clearly Oing on my own! I think I can handle those side effects, not sure that DH can!

Hi i have just finished my first cycle of Clomid and must have been lucky because i didnt get any side effects.

I have just been for my first scan to check my folicles, they said it was ok but waiting to hear the full results. One thing that does confuse me is, they said i was ovulating fine, so why have they put me on the clomid? Anyone any answer?

[pixielou]

All the best to you catster! X

I have been to see doc last week and they said that hubby and I are fine and all testes have come back good! They said that they want to put me on Clomid as they want to shorten my cycles, so will be starting on this next cycle now!

I also am wondering if everything is ok and I'm ov then why are they putting me on this?
Anyways to you all X

I have found that the clomid regulates me and makes my cycles shorter too....which u will be happy about having a 40 day cycle!!!! Its took at least 10 days off my cycle!!!!! GL to u too!!!!!xx

Hi i was on clomid for 7 months total i conceived on the 6th cycle although i miscarried straight away at 4 1/2 weeks. Then i had to have one natural cycle then i was back on clomid and walla im 24 weeks pregnant now!

I wasent 0ing at all. I 0ed on 50mg's but then never did again until 150mg's my doc started very slowly though at 25mg's etc so it should'nt take much to get you 0ing properly!!

Best of luck

Hi there, I have been on clomid for 6months and was stopped because it did me no good. My cycle became irregular, and whenever my period delayed, i thought i could be pregnant. Well, it might work for u, cos we all are different.
Best of luck!

Hi there.

Today is my first cycle on Clomid.
Doctor told me that I already ovulate.. I got pregnant twice but miscarried both times, first time bec it was missed miscarriage and second bec of blighted ovum.

I was worried on taking it bec of the scary side effects I have been reading on the internet but well, we arent the same right?

Doc put me on 100mg/day. Dont really know why that much but it's 2 pills of 50mg daily. Started it from day 3 until day 7.

The good thing is that my doctor did an ultrasound on CD2 and from there knew what to do. He told me he will see me on day 12 to scan and see the follicles and tell me when are the best days to BD and also will put me on day 12 on cortisone as I need to take baby aspirin but since I am allergic to aspirin will take cortisone.

I am so scared of it.. I was like, what if it kills me? I am a coward when it comes to taking medicine.. or what if I conceive twins?! It freaks me OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Clomid really worked for me. Was given it the first time with Abigail and waited for my period only to not get one! We had been trying for 4 years at this point. I was given Clomid straight away with Conor and was pregnant the first time I took it. Took it days 2-6 as prescribed by my GP. The third time with Flynn I was sent back to the hospital for tests and was once again given Clomid for PCOS. I took 100mg daily, again for days 2-6 and was pregnant the first month again. Just started 100mg of clomid again so hopefully first time again. Good luck.

Wow

I'm loving these success stories guys

I'm just about to take the last pill from my first round ever of clomid.
I'm hoping that this will be a lucky month for us

 

[The Catster]

Hope Clomid brings you your dream, long awaited baby NeyNey!!! xxx

Hi guys

I am on my first cycle of clomid too. I had to take 50mg on CD2-5. I'm now CD12, and we are shattered from BDing.

Does taking clomid make ovulation later in the cycle? The reason I ask is because I use the CBFM each month, and so far I have registered 4 high readings but not got my peak yet!! We are so scared of missing the big day, but really don't feel like BDing anymore.

I hope it works first cycle for us, cos I'm starting to lose the will to live .... .

Any thoughts would be greatly welcomed. Good luck everyone ttc and lots of to everyone.

Swim swim ...
