Clomid Buddies (Join Us)

[Firstmama]

Forgot to ask...I can't use Preseed, I'm extremely sensitive and got a bacterial infection last month using it. What can I use to help my cm? What do you recommend?

 

[Ellie Bean]

Hi, welcome. You can always try taking plain mucinex to help thin mucous. Also I'd say bd every other day from like day 10 until you're sure you ovulated. Taking Clomid a night helped lessen my side effect, but I still had some mood swings. My DH and I tried Clomid but it wasn't the right thing for us due to low count and my PCOS, so IVF was our best option. Are you seeing an obgyn or an RE?

Hi Ellie,
Wishing you the very best with IVF and thanks for the advice! Unfortunately not a RE just my obgyn - she wants to try 3 unmonitored cycles before referring me. I did have cd 3 blood work and amh checked last month and everything looks normal which was a relief. I would feel more comfortable monitored though but I guess I'll give it a try.

I was just in a car accident 2 days ago though and my back is killing me. I REALLY want to start clomid on Saturday but I'm now wondering if I should put it off. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs ey? Are you ttc #1?

I'm pregnant we did our ivf with a FET in august. I'm 18 weeks and 2 days pregnant today. Has your husband been checked?

Oh my, I'm so blind lol-sorry a bit new to this. Congrats that's such amazing news!!! How exciting!

No he hasn't which I thought was strange too...but I told my obgyn he has two kids from his previous marriage so she didn't seem too worried about him. I'm wondering if I should be more insistent on seeing a RE so all our bases are covered.

 

[Ellie Bean]

I would go ahead and get an appt with an RE. We had to wait 5 months to get in to see an RE so sometimes is while before you can get in.

It's a BOY!

Hi all. Merry Christmas. Congrats barbie, Ellie and lab girl xx
I am officially 4 days late!!
I have 25 day cycles today is cd29.
Haven't been this late. Last two cycles were 26 days though. But definitely never 29.
Thinking about testing tomorrow. Though I don't tend to get a great positive until 5/6 weeks from previous experience. I'm trying not to get two excited but it's 2years 3 months since I was last pregnant. We've just been trying with no help. It would be a nice surprise as if almost given up.
Will let you know ASAP.

 

[OoOo]

I'm 5 days late from my normal short cycles which are like 25 days. Longest cycle I've had is 27. So today I'm a minimum of 3 days and a maz of 5 days late.
I tested bfn tonight not fmu
I have sore boobes. A soft cervix sorry tmi.
I have never missed a period unless I've been pregbabt. I am feeling so tired. Just keeping praying and going to test again in a few days. Scared x

 

[OoOo]

Hi me again. Well it's new years day and no af. Cd 31 for me. Going to test in few days or maybe go drs see if they will do bloods.

 

[Ellie Bean]

Thanks OoOo! How exciting, definitely keep us posted...Praying for you this is a positive cycle!

 

[OoOo]

Well I'm on cd 32. Still no af. Haven't told hubby. So I only have here that I can talk to anyone. May try test over weekend. But I'm up all night weeing. So not sure my fmu will be any good. I've never got to cd 32 before.
Was anyone else scared to test after trying for so long. I'm really scared.

 

[OoOo]

I just got af cd 32 so a 31 day cycle. I don't know what my body is playing at feeling defeated. I was thinking of telling hubby tomorrow. So much for that. Af turned up atleast he doesn't know about all this and his hopes aren't up aswell.

 

[Ellie Bean]

Maybe your body is getting more on track bc 31 days is more of regular cycle,but you never know I've had 40+day cycles and I've had a 21 day cycle...our bodies are crazy sometimes.

 

[OoOo]

Thanks Ellie xx

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA. By the end of the day, I'm totally worn out and still have to come home to cook and take care of the kids.

Labgal- You should be having your little one any day now, right? How exciting!

Barbie- How is the little princess doing?

OoOo- I'm so sorry this cycle was crazy and gave you false hopes. Have you ever officially found out why you are struggling? Did you have enough testing done to determine that?

Ellie- Congrats on a boy! Do you have any names picked out yet?

AFM- My anatomy scan is tomorrow and I'm super excited to find out who is joining our family. I already have a boy and girl so this will be the tie breaker in our house. We even have 1 male and 1 female dog--haha. I think I'm most excited because I can finally start buying things.

 

[Ellie Bean]

Thanks Mom! We've got 4 names picked out but are having a hard time narrowing it down to just one lol. Can't wait to find out what you're having! It's so exciting!

Hi girls! Starting clomid for number two once AF arrives. I've PCOS, used it in 2013 for DD.

 

[youngmamttc]

Hi girls not sure if its okay for me to come back to this thread lol. I was on here when starting clomid for baby #2 and got great support so im hoping its okay for me to be back trying for #3 with clomid.
