Clomid Buddies - 18 BFPs!

[nlk]

room for one more??

im 20, and about to start my first round of clomid...ive just finished my course of provera, so now just waiting for AF so that i can get started! im really excited but getting really nervous as well now, its come around so quick so starting to feel real now! its so nice to see so many clomid bfps as well!!

to everyone!

Of course theres alwyas room for one more! I have a feeling you will get your first time around!

ahhh that would be so amazing if i did! but i wont hold my breath...my FS took one look at me, and said he's got this funny feeling im clomid resistant! i genuinely believe in gut feeling...although im really hoping he's wrong!

good luck to you!! how long have you been trying for? if you dont mind me asking!

I am on my second round of clomid- last month i Ovulated, but not BFP! i have been off contracteption for two years with no luck before clomid. Im also taking metformin as that can help the effectiveness of clomid.

I suppose i assumed that you would fall quickly cos your in the prime of your fertile period! (age wise)- where as i am towards the end of my fertile life (mid 30's).

Good luck!

ok, hope the second round is the one! at least you ovulated, so thats good!!

i dont ovulate on my own whatsoever...because of pcos. my age is the very reason i was keen to get started and not put it off...tbh, the only reason we werent ttc before we found out about the pcos was because of the reaction of others...but now i realise that i dont care whether other people think im rushing into it, because this is my life. I have no real reason to push it back to a later date. my parents are so so supportive of me as well, which i actually didnt expect (not this much anyway!). OH's parents are much more....reserved. but i dont think people who have had no problems conceiving can really give an opinion, because they dont know what its like.

mid-30s isn't too bad...i know someone who got pregnant on clomid at 37 and AGAIN at 40, and now has 2 beautiful little children! and it took ages and a relatively high dose (i think) to actually get her ovulating! so i tihnk youre in pretty good stead

 

[Chloe597]

I'm loving the title of this thread now...5 BFP's! That is so wonderful!

Welcome nlk, curleymumma, jaws, and storkwatcher! Good luck to you all!

I have been lying low on this thread since I was off Clomid for this cycle, but I'm going back on it once AF arrives (should be in about a week). THIS time i will get monitoring with bloods and ultrasounds! I have been heavily spotting since O date, and yet my RE thinks this is nothing. ugh! I can't wait to have proper monitoring so someone can do something about this!

Hey ladies! Welcome to all the new ladies who have joined us!!!

I thought I would stop by to update you all! Unfortunately we did not fall preggers this month like I thought we would. We had clear HSG and good SA and I actually ovualted this month.

So now I'm on my 6th round of Clomid 100 mg. At my last appoinment he said he would up it to 150 mg this time but since I ovulated last month he wants to keep it the same. I'm a little frustrated with this because I've only truly ovulated twice in sixrounds. That's only a 33% chance that we would have got pregnant. To top it all off, I don't get my RE referral until then end of this cycle!

We both feel so defeated at the moment, so lots of prayers would be awesome!

Did you get your surge today?? I didn't. I only tested this afternoon, and nothing. Today was cd12 for me. My dr said to not start testing until the 14, so I'm hoping there is still a chance. I just have a feeling that I will never see that smiley face!

What a fun date night you guys had!!!! I'm so jealous. I'm a HS cheer coach, so at the moment my nights are filled with basketball games and practices. Some night I hope to go out on a date!!

How are things going with you Kel??

I see your pregnant with twins.... Are those clomid twins??? && Congrats

Hi everyone! I hope all is well. Im currently on my second cycle of Clomid, CD5, and the hot flashes have kicked it. Had a little cramping on my left side yesterday. But other than that, im feeling good. Hoping for good results this cycle.


I noticed in one of the threads I was reading, that a girl O'd on CD32. Thats really late. I wonder how many people this happen too?

 

[Chloe597]

Newfiekat, I also O'd on CD32. It's not normal, and my RE said its considered 'irregular ovulation' which is a sign of PCOS. The clomid that I took that cycle did not do anything to induce my ovulation that late. I was told it was a natural ovulation.

Hi, Maybe it was your post that I read lol. Im never sure when I O, so I was surprised to see it was so late. I just finished one cycle of Clomid, and it did make me O. So im onto Clomid again this month. My cycles are normally irregular, and really long, but with the first cycle of Clomid, mine was 31 days. And my prog at cd21 was 32.1. So I hope it works for us this time.

Good Luck

I O'd on CD40 and got a BFP, so while it's not necessarily normal, it can happen and you can get pregnant from late ovualation. There are a lot of concerns about late ovulation and egg quality, but I've read a lot of posts on SoulCysters.com from women who ovulated past day 30 and have happy, healthy children as a result. My first cycle of clomid did not work, but 52 days later I found out I got pregnant on my own.

I'll definitely keep you in my prayers. So sorry you didn't catch the egg this time. Here's hoping cycle 6 is your last and you get your BFP soon!

I have this strange thing happening to me since on clomid- im on cd10- and took clomid 3-7 this time, and i found - as with last time- in the middle ten days i get very depressed and DONT want a baby- its very confusing. LAst cycle i went through the motions anyway and BD'd at the right times, but right now i feel so different at not at all maternal like i did a few days ago. Has anyone else felt this on clomid?

Yes and no. I was on clomid to jump start my cycles after stopping BC. In order to have twins from clomid, your ovaries need to be over stimulated. During my first ultrasound, they had to look at my ovaries to make sure they weren't still producing eggs from the clomid, and they could barely find them. If they glow and show up right away, then they are over stimulated. So they said our twins are not from the clomid. We have very strong genes of twins in both of our families (even though it doesnt matter about the guy's side), so we got our twins from our genes, not clomid. Clomid just assisted my body to get back on track.

And thank you!!

Thank you!!! I haven't been it that situation before but I'm definitely sending up prayers for you!

 

[curleymumma]

I have found that clomid gives me preg symptoms- i only just figured this out as im on my second cycle- last month i was sure i was preg cos i was queezy and having vivid dreams and sore breasts and lethargy!- none of these are normal for me- however im on cd10 right now, three days after last tablet and btween 2 to 7 days before O- and i have all those symptoms already! I have aversions to smells, coffee and alcohol- I can only assume that its the clomid that is causing these symptoms- any other ladies experience this?

 

[newfiekat]

Good Morning ladies!

So I started round 2 of Clomid and im on CD6 right now. Before I took the first pill, I had a heavy AF, then when I started the Clomid, AF just slacked right off and ive been spotting for two days....Is that odd? This never happened last time. And the only difference is first Cycle is was on 50mg, and now im on 100mg. With the spotting im afraid its not going to work this time...eeeeeeeeeeek!

I would be frustrated too, but I'm glad that this is your last cycle before being able to see a fertility specialist. I hope you won't need to (fingers crossed for a last chance Clomid BFP), but if you do, I hope you get a great new doctor who can help you get pregnant.

Hey ladies!:wave:

Just popping in for a bit...

IluvRedskins-- My heart goes out to you.
I hate having the wind knocked out of our sails too.
Keep clinging to hope, sister!
Fx for another ov!
And I'm hoping you find a great FS, but prayers sent that you won't need him/her.
>>>>>
curleymomma-- This is my 1st round, so I'm no help w/side effects.
I thought for sure I was PG 2mo ago. Everything but HPT's led me to believe it. I was so devastated when AF came. I haven't cried that hard in years.
I've resolved myself to now pin any suspected TWW symptoms directly on Clomid so I won't be let down.
Gah! I just don't know... I'm just trying to find ways to trick myself into coping w/disappointment.
Hoping those effects you're going through turn to good things!
>>>>>
newfiekat-- This was my 1st round, but my period stopped(just spotting) the day after my 1st pill. I normally would have had 3 more AF days. I took 100mg, cd3-7. I'm waiting to ov & I'm @cd8.
>>>>>


Sorry all, but I'm feeling teary & angry as ever today.
What a fine wreck I've become.

DH had order to repeat SA for upcoming IUI.
When Dr suggested we try Clomid, they asked for that SA to be done sooner than later. They wanted recheck done prior to starting Clomid.
Got email from Dr yest.
Just found out that DH's SA was "misfiled" (= lost?).
Low count & low motility.
Email said to BD "cd10-20 & see what happens this cycle."
If we don't get a BFP, then we're to start IUI.
I know in my heart, we're more likely to be needing IVF.

Have appt on Fri.-- Will get specifics then.
Feeling like we're taking 2 steps forward & 10 steps backward.
I'm just crushed at the odds stacking up against us.
Of course, we're gonna get on w/the BD'g!

Trying so hard to stay hopeful here.
Bring on the statistics! I want to represent that happy percentile!

Hey Storkwatcher, thanks for the reply! I know its hard to stay positive, and having everyone tell you to just relax and it will happen, that doesnt help so much. Just know there are lots of others going through this with you, and your not the only one. All we can do is to try our best, making our best efforts for a positive outcome. Its like putting together one crazy puzzle, some people get it right away, while others take more time figuring it out. There are definately road blocks, like this darn spotting im having at the moment. But im hoping that will pass......and these hot flashes...OY! Keep your head up, and you will get through this

 

[eebee]

Did anyone get spotting round about 2-3dpo? I'm on 50mg, first month so I don't really know what to expect. I need to wait til the 9th to get my progesterone blood test for ovulation but am a little concerned. Could it be ovulation bleeding?

 

[Mbhg1980]

Hi, I'm new here...I posted my own thread for April 2012 Buddies before I saw this! Hope it's okay for me to join this, too...

I'm round 2 clomid at 100mg, days 5-9. Today is cd10 and I think DH and I will BD today and every other day until cd20. On cd21 I will get my progesterone level checked w/ a blood test. I'm not needing to do an u/s to check on follies as long as the blood test shows I ovulated.

to all!
