should I space out my Clomid and metformin throughout the day?

 

[MsBee21niya]

Barbie...I'd do morning, noon and night. If its 4 pills I'd do either 2 in the morning, 1 afternoon and 1 at night or 1 morning, 1 afternoon and 2 at night. I've never done metformin but with clomid my FS told me it'll be best to not take all at once so each could get to work in your system. So do one clomid and metformin together and space out afterwards throughout the day.

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Hmmm mauve that's my mistake I would always take them all at once

 

[MsBee21niya]

Barbie...Noooooo! Not all at once, you want the pills to get worked through your body throughout the day.

I took my second round of clomid this month, I'm CD26, my progesterone was high last week, so I should be finding out this week if it did the trick. I got pregnant on my first round in June, but I had a chemical pregnancy. Good luck!

 

[MsBee21niya]

Barbie...You're welcome! FS told me its best to do it that way. Not all ppl do it that way, but I trust what fertility specialist tells me to do.

 

[MsBee21niya]

Welcome alicarr74...And good luck! If you got it first round you may get it this round!!!

 

[alicarr74]

MsBee, I've read many posts where the same thing happened the first round, and they got pregnant again second or third round. I'm just worried I'm not, I've been getting BFN's but my positive didn't show for another week on my last cycle, so I'm not giving up!

 

[Aarya]

Welcome Alicar and good luck !

 

[MsBee21niya]

Alicarr...You have a better chance than most of us whom have never gotten pregnant, so it's good you aren't giving up. Good luck!

So today AF is due. My stomach is hurting and breast are tender but she hasn't came yet. Maybe this evening. ..

 

[Blackbarbie04]

If not I will be testing tomorrow

 

[MsBee21niya]

My fingers and toes are crossed for you Barbie....These past few months we've been talking, I just want us to get our BFPs! 12dpo for me today, still no symptoms besides AF feeling which is due any day now Thursday at the latest.

MsBee, is this your third cycle on clomid? My specialist said to contact him in 3-4 months if it hasn't happened by then. That kinda makes me think that if clomid is going to work then before 3/4 months is likely. Is that right?

 

[MsBee21niya]

MummyDonz...Next cycle will be my 4th cycle of clomid. Took a break this cycle and did fertilaid/ovaboost. It can work at any time during the cycle. Some women don't get a BFP until cycle 8 or 9 depending on how any cycles your doc gives you. It takes longer for some because everybody body isn't the same and it takes some longer for it to work throughout the body. So I wouldn't base it on the how soon others got it, or the average they got it. Other women go 8 cycles and then are taken off and months later they start again and end up pregnant. Even when it makes you ovulate it still make time longer to catch the egg. Only way I'd be concerned is if I don't ovulate or if it continues to make my lining thinner.

 

[MsBee21niya]

Also, with the FS I'd like for them to be more in the loop, inside of saying call in 3-4mnths because you won't know if its causing cysts or making your body worse than before if they aren't closing monitoring you, atleast checking to see if you produce mature follies. But everyone isn't the same.....

 

[MummyDonz]

I was monitored this cycle as it was my first cycle but as he knows 50mg works well for me he is happy for me to stay on that dose. I have 6 months worth but said he can check tubes if it hasn't happened within 3/4 months.

 

[MsBee21niya]

Prior to getting prescribed that were your tubes checked? My FS wouldn't give me anything until I did the Hsg test. To see if one or both tubes were blocked, then after that and they were clear I was prescribed clomid. That's normally the routine for everyone, but I'm just hoping we all get our BFPs. Just relax and don't stress thinking it will automatically happen w/in 3-4 months. It's good if it does, but alot of times it takes women a second round after no success in the first six months round. Good luck!!!
