Clomid club- any ladies on clomid please join x

[MrsMcCurdy]

Lace- I don't think it would hurt to ask. My specialist didn't mind that I didn't get it prescribed from my obgyn and is still going with what I found to work for me.

Hope everyone is doing alright. Happy thanksgiving US ladies!
Nothing much happening here, kind of enjoying no pressure right now. Hoping AF doesn't start for awhile longer to get some other things timed better. But all is good

 

[Girly123]

Temp down today so I know AF is most propably going to start today. I expected to wake up and find her here but nothing just yet. Gutted but at least I ovulated this cycle and now on to a second and the potential of a Christmas baby!! Xx

 

[k4th]

Happy thanksgiving to everyone celebrating it today

Buttercup - I understand the down days. I went for some cbt therapy because I found it so hard to break the cycle. Hope you're feeling better today & enjoying some time with family

Girly - sorry that temp is down have everything crossed for your Christmas

 

[Arohanui]

Sorry your temp is down Girly, but great news that you O this month - a huge step closer to your goal. Keep positive for next cycle.

 

[Fern81]

OK let's try again... happy thanksgiving! I hope we ALL can remember how much we have to be grateful for. Today I just want to say how very grateful I am for the love and support from all you ladies on this thread!

My brother phoned me from New York last night (there on business). He might do a thanksgiving lunch today with our cousins who live in Chicago; for the first time ever. He also promised to try and vacuum pack some pumpkin pie or whatever and bring it back to me lol!!!! Think I should rather bake my own !

Girly - I'm still hoping that your temps go back up.... but even if they don't, this was a great cycle for you with definite confirmed O and a long luteal phase! Like Arohanui said a definite step in the right direction! Have you had an hsg/hycosy to determine if there are tubal blockages or any such problems?

Lace&pearls - speaking of which; I googled a bit and it seems hsg and hycosy is almost the same thing, both use dyes to check for uterine abnormalities (like a septum) and if tubes are open, etc. Hsg is apparently a more outdated type of procedure where they use iodine/radiomarkers as contrast fluid and hycosy is the more modern method. I chatted with a lady on another thread and she mentioned that she fell pregnant with her current pregnancy, in the month when she had her lap&dye. I think we're going to try in any case hehe depending on how I feel; I'm taking the clomid and Dr didn't say not to! GL with all your difficult decisions hun. x Hope you get a scan sorted out!

Have a good day everyone else x thinking of all of you!

 

[SarahLou372]

Tested again today ladies and what do you know the usual

Im going to the hospital today to get checked over because of the headaches, cramps im having and that strange spotting I have one nipple that is so sensitive at the moment the other isn't though..

 

[Buttercup77]

Happy Thanksgiving ladies. I am giving thanks for the known things I have and for the unknown blessing that's on their way!

I am also thankful for B&B and meeting wonderful ladies. May you enjoy this new day no matter where you are! xo

 

[Buttercup77]

Sarah,
So sorry for bfn, hope you feel better very soon

 

[Girly123]

Hey girls. Long day at work today. I waited all day for my AF to start and nothing. Kept checking all day. Then on way home it feels like it, check when get home and one little spot. So it must be tomorrow it is going to be full flow. 15 day lp is loonnnggg though. Guess it is better long than short though.

Means CD 1 will be 28th so ovulation approx 12th/13th December I guess. Meaning approx 13dpo on Christmas day. Potential christmas baby present but also potential to be a shit day with a BFN lol.

This month will be our last month trying as my hubby deploys for between 4 and 7 months. So it could be August next year before we get the chance to try again. I think if we have no luck this cycle but I ovulate we will look at paying to get IUI done when he returns.

Staying positive. Let's get our Christmas babies girls x

 

[babylaw720]

Today was kind of a rough day.... Temp dropped significantly... My LP is typically 11 days which would mean that af starts tomorrow, but none of the usual pre-af signs. Took a test this morning and it was BFN (of course), and it just led to a down in the dumps, hitting me harder than usual kind of day. I think with it being the holiday and DH being at work, and just being alone to write my school papers, I had too much time to think and dwell and be bitter. I'm sorry ladies, just not having a very positive day, and my BFN this morning kicked me in the ovaries. I totally thought that this month was our month.

 

[Timetotry]

Girly- sorry AF is on the way. Good luck next cycle, I hope you get your bfp before deployment!

Babylaw- I'm so sorry you're having a rough day. I feel your pain. This morning I woke up and tested as well, bfn. And I still had spotting. I called my doctor and while I was waiting for them to call me back I had a complete breakdown. I called in to work and spent the day firmly planted on the couch and had a me day (I didn't want to spend the day trying not to cry in front of coworkers). Same as you, i thought this was our month. First time on clomid, and all of these months I thought clomid would be what we needed and now I'm feeling out, it was the first month I have felt hopeful, and now I don't anymore. I wish no one ever had to go through this pain and heartbreak, I hope you are feeling somewhat better.

In case anyone else runs into the same problems that I'm having. I'm on day 6 of spotting, still bfn, called my doctor. They aren't concerned and said clomid could be the cause, if I don't have my period by next week then we will do some blood work.
I feel broken.

 

[Arohanui]

Hugs to you both, Babylaw and Timetotry.

 

[Allheart]

Timetotry- sorry I haven't been following thread. I am new here. Was that your first cycle on clomid? I am on second round of Clomid and I felt like you the first round. But I've been told that it's fairly rare to conceive first round. My doc keeps telling me that it will take few cycles for my body to start functioning properly with the Clomid (and metformin).
The spotting is very common side effect that's why they prob not concerned. Don't lose hope. I have friends who say that when they stopped the Clomid they conceived!

 

[Timetotry]

Thanks Arohanui!

Allheart- Thanks for the info, that sounds encouraging. I'm new around here too, so I'm not sure everyone's stories either. We have been trying for 16 months, I was diagnosed with PCOS 3 months ago, am taking 1500mg of metformin daily, and this was our first month on clomid 50mg. I do ovulate on my own and on metformin, but very late in my cycle and my cycles have been irregular.
What about you?

 

[MrsMcCurdy]

Timetotry- I had 18 days of spotting my first period after clomid. And I was told it was quite normal, especially since I didn't ovulate that cycle. So you're not alone there. Try not to feel broken, I've been there done that and it doesn't help. It made me an emotional basket case for awhile. And I'm still working on my self talk but I'm getting sooo much better. GL! Hope the next cycle treats you better!

 

[babylaw720]

And I'm out for this cycle. Af showed her ugly face right on time.... Another completed cycle on the record... *sigh*

 

[k4th]

Sorry babylou

Just wanted those with spotting to hear another spotting story. My first cycle on clomid I spotted for 5days, had period for 5 and then spotted for 3. 13 days of bleeding total - I was gutted. Next cycles had much more normal bleeds with just one dodgy month in September when my dose was increased to 100mg. One funny month might just be your body getting used to it

Hope everyone else is ok?? Fern, nimbec, buttercup & everyone else ttc - thinking of you

 

[nimbec]

Hi ladies
So sorry I have not been around my little man has been very poorly and it's been hard to get on here.

Firstly k4th so sorry I wasn't around when you had your scare ((hugs)) and I'm SO pleased all is well - I literally felt sick reading it!

Welcome new ladies!!

Sorry to all who have AF or is on her way what a horrid time it never gets easier does it!

Hope everyone is ok and I'm really sorry I haven't replied to everyone personally :S

No major news here apart from had my hsg yesterday and ouch it was painful but bearable and I have clear tubes so that's good I guess just need to work out why I'm not getting pregnant so natural for me this cycle HOPE to ovulate prob around CD20...fx for a xmas bfp AF due about 23rf dec!

 

[Fern81]

Hi ladies just popping in quickly; having a very busy couple of days.
Thinking of all of you, especially those of you having a hard time atm.
Will say a proper hello tomorrow.
Xxxxx

 

[k4th]

Hi nimbec - how is ds? Hope he's much better. Glad your tubes are open. I know it doesn't answer any questions, but at least it means you can keep trying while you wait for ivf. Have everything crossed that you have a good ov this month are you doing opks or anything?

Fern - I see on your chart you took your clomid good luck with it this month!!!

Hoping for some Christmas clomid club bfp's!!!
