TTCBean, how are your doctors monitoring you...are you having your progesterone drawn a week after ovulation, or are you having follicle monitoring via ultrasound?

I see. Well, I certainly hope the 100mg does the trick again...sometimes it's just a waiting game, even with Clomid. You've only ovulated once on it, so it may take another month or two...perhaps more! Really, the most important thing now is how you're timing !

I agree with Wookie! I took 6 rounds of clomid and only O'd 3 times! Had an HSG and all was fine! That's when I was sent to my RE and tested my insulin levels (different from blood sugar) and discovered that I'm insulin resistant. He said that meant that the clomid wouldn't work enough for me to have a fertilized egg, that would actually implant and stick. This caused our chemical bak in may! He said that really my body was rejecting everything medicine wise due to this! This is my 7th round after a 2 month break! FYI when I started the metformin it took my insulin levels from 30 to 14! He considers under 15 good! I actually O'd on my own the past two months too! He did the clomid and trigger shot to help strengthen my O!

Hope this gives some insight!

I am about to start 100mg of clomid the first week of August! I am excited and hope it works! Nervous that it won't! I decided if it doesn't work by October we will wait until late 2014 to start again.

Def Clark!! Is this your first clomid cycle? Sorry I'm on my iPhone and I can't see if you have it in your sig. My doc has had me on 100mg of Clomid the entire time. I don't know if it's because of my one tube or what. My friend/coworker just left an hour ago for her first IUI! She was on 50mg of clomid- at first they said it was her husbands sperm but then when they went to the specialist they said his count was fine so it's unexplained...

AFM just in this horrid TWW and then will start the clomid most likely in the beginning of August. If FF is accurate I will more then likely have the IUI a few days before our vacation. I am thinking about just not temping while we are away and just relaxing... But I have been temping for 18 mos so not sure if I can stop! Lol

Yes this is my first cycle on clomid. Started last night. no side effects so far. My hubby sperm is good as well, so mine is unexplained as well. I totally hate the TWW. it drives me crazy. i would also try to relax on your vacation, just dont bring the thermometer with u so u cant temp I would probably still temp too Let me know how ur doing and i will keep u updated as well.

I'm 6dpo... Gah! If LP is its regular 12-14 days then I should expect AF either next Wed or Fri and then clomid shortly after. I am looking forward to a monitored cycle versus the 3 unmonitored ones I was on. I don't think my s/e were that bad on the first cycle but by the third I had the "clomid crazies", night sweats, headaches and general feeling annoyed at the world! Interesting to see how it all plays out when I start in August because I also changed my diet and cut out a lot of carbs, white flour/sugar, artificial flavored/colors/ sweeteners. We'll see!
Hope everyone is having a nice day

Hi Ladies - Just wanted to give you an update that I had my girls two days ago! The story and pictures are in my journal if you would like to see them.

I hope everyone is doing great, and I will update the front page when I get a chance!

Congratulations kcoennen! That is wonderful news!

Hey ladies can I join you again? I was on this board in the beginning of the year (my pic was of my boxer dog sleeping on our green leather couch). After 3 mos of 100mg Clomid we took a break. I got laid off in Feb but was very lucky to have found a new (and better) job very quickly. We met with a FS in May and have been waiting for my August cycle so we can start the IUI (had to wait because of my new job).

So here I am- I just ovulated and am waiting for AF in August to start the 100mg of Clomid. I will admit I didn't read through all the pages I had missed but I am looking forward to chatting with you all again

Hi Mrsjennyg

Welcome back and all the best.

I'll keep my fx for you

 

[Pinkfoot]

Welcome back!!! Hope things work fast for you!

AFM - I'm 5dpo today! This TWW feels like it is taking FOREVER!!! I had my HCG injection last Wednesday and it hurt like a dickens! I definitely O'd on Thursday (lots of cramps and pains on both sides ) I had one follie on my right (he called it my left) side and 2 on my left (he called it my right). Anyway - I don't know if I would call these symptoms or not since I'm only 5dpo but I have had lots of dull cramps and a few pains since I O'd. I usually don't have these so it's weird! I'm also been very tired and bloated. The biggest thing for me has been the increase in CM. I'm rarely "wet" down there, so that is definitely new! We did use preseed this time, even though DH said that I had been "wet" this whole cycle. We managed to BD on CD 6, 10, 12, 14, and 15. I praying that it worked! DH bought me a Mommy-to-be journal this weekend because he says he knows it's the month! We shall see! Only 9 more days to go before I'll be 14dpo. I know that I can't test until then since I had the HCG trigger shot! It takes roughly 10 days before it's out of your system, or at least that's what my RE said!

to all!!!!

Ahh.. The horrible TWW in which one always end up driving yourself up the wall! I was googling everyday for early pregnancy sysmptoms and wanted to test almost every day. It was so difficult to just wait.

Good luck and fx and my toes crossed for you!!!

Hey ladies - I know quite a few of you are on your TWW... when will you all be testing? FX'd for you ALL!!!!!

 

[stevens2010]

I'm currently in the 2WW and it's gone quite quickly! My LP is 12 days so not much longer til I can test. Even though I've already done one today...

 

[SKP]

Cd 1 for me, after 52 cd's. I start Clomid on the 7th, 100 mlgs

 

[Clarkeyness]

Hi all! I had my IUI on Friday!! Testing August 15th! nervous. i ended up having 5 eggs from clomid. i hope at least one of those is a sticky bean!

 

[mrsjennyg]

I start 100mg clomid tomorrow night (cd3)! Then I go for my u/s on cd12 (I think) to see if I'm ov from my good side or my bad side (praying for my good side!). Then if it's the good side IUI!

Tested today and got 2 bfn's, did a cheapie and a midstream test. Feeling a bit deflated, have 2 days before AF is due and I don't think I have any symptoms.

Hubby and I have decided to look into potentially adopting if this cycle doesn't bring a BFP. We will still continue with the Clomid but we'd like to get our names down at least as it can be such a long process. I know there's still other treatment options but at least putting our names down will provide us with another option too.

 

[Mrs.326]

Obvioulsy I know we all yearn to carry our own child, however I 100% stand by anyone's choice to adopt. It was high on our list of options as well if we couldn't conceive naturally. My sister was adopted and I know she had a better life because of it. I think every child deserves a chance to be loved, so if that is the route you go, I think it's a wonderful choice. So sorry about the BFN's today You never know... you could still end up with a natural blessing!

Hi all!

I was just diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and I start Clomid on my next cycle. I am so glad I found this thread. You are all so inspiring!!!

A little background --
DH and I are TTC #1. Some of my hormones are off so I will be on metformin as well and I just got a progesterone shot to start a new cycle. I'm not insulin resistant but because of my androgen-[insert official name here] hormone, the Met is supposed to help along with the Clomid.

Anywho, I am really grateful for finding this thread and getting through the next few months with ladies!!
