Clomid club- any ladies on clomid please join x

Been stalking

Arohanui - I know the feeling. I also had a meltdown end of last year.
To try and get back to a happy place I first started a gratitude journal to force myself to focus on what I have to be grateful for again. Then DH and I decided to plan other positive things for this year to look forward to and to focus on. Some small (making ice cream), some big (looking to buy a house and maybe travel overseas). I agree with K4th it was also good for me to talk to an outside party. I know you're not religious but for me personally praying made a difference and also a support group of friends (outside parties). Now that I am not ttc anymore I am actually much happier. In the beginning I found it extremely difficult to get my mind off ttc but now that I am not so focused on it anymore, I feel much more peaceful and am considering cancelling my specialist appointment just so I don't have to try again. I'm definitely not suggesting just giving up, but maybe a break and just some "you"-time and pampering after these horrible clomid months will help you feel a bit better and regain focus.

Of course I really do hope that this month is successful for you and that the question of regaining positivity becomes moot! x.

BTW Laura I see that you got a bfp, congrats! x

Hiya K4th Glad to see you're doing well!

 

[k4th]

Hello fern!! So good to hear from you! Glad you are in a happy place I still think of you often & wonder how you are Hope you have some wonderful plans for this year

Laura - I missed your ticker earlier. Congratulations!!

Fezzle - are you still in the tww?

Ttc bean - how did your follicle scan go? It doesn't really matter just as long as the swimmers are in the right place. Good luck!

 

[laurac1988]

Thankyou ladies. Second cycle of 50mg days 2-6. I'm praying this one is healthy and sticks.

I hope this thread explodes with a bazillion BFP's soon!

 

[TTCBean]

Wow congratulations Laura!

I'm on 5DPO and playing the fun TWW waiting game!! Went in for an u/s CD16 (couldn't make it on CD13) and tech said I had a "collapsed follicle" which she made sound like a good thing, especially since I had a positive OPK. Fingers crossed!

 

[TTC74]

I don't care for how this month is shaping up. I had a positive OPK last night on CD11 after I finished my clomid on the night of CD9. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I know I shouldn't be O this early after taking clomid CD5-CD9.

Hi ladies

Its been a while since I posted in his topic but wanted to join you all again as I start clomid again tomorrow for the third time.. after losing our Skye.

And Congratulations to you Laura!

 

[TTC74]

I think I Od last night. I had O pains around midnight. Fingers crossed for a high temp tomorrow. I can live with a CD13 O and I'm eager to get this 2WW started!

Hi I just started my first 50 mg Clomid today. have you had any side affects on it yet?

 

[FLArmyWife]

Thankfully only some slight bloating was my side effect. Others have had some rough side effects. I wad and still am kind convinced that it's not working since I have no side effects. Normally I get every side effect known to man for any meds I take

Fern - so nice to hear from you x have been thinking of you, hope things are good?

k4th - how are you doing? not long to go now really how are you feeling? x

congratulations Laura!!!! that's fantastic! how are you doing? x when are you due? x btw I was looking at some posts late last night so please forgive me if I'm getting mixed up did you recommend drinking spearmint tea? did it help? xx

AFM I've been kind of NTNP lately and for the last few weeks not trying at all, I have my hycosy scan booked for next friday and I decided to just avoid DTD since AF rather than have to take provera So it's all kind of been on hold for a little bit, but I am feeling ok about that I have just joined slimming world so I'm hoping that will help I'm not massively over weight (just a little bit) but I get the impression weight loss can improve PCOS.
Oh and my FS appointment got pushed back AGAIN! was supposed to be in jan. got pushed back to april. had to cancel due to no hycosy (no fault of my own) changed to may, now they've cancelled that and move to June 26th! if they try to cancel that I will go absolutely mad.

[k4th]

Lace&pearls - I'm feeling well thanks. Just less than three months to go now Can't believe they've switched your appointment again! I'd go mad now so they don't even contemplate moving it again!! How frustrating for you

Ttcbean - how exciting! When will you test again? Hope it's not a faulty test!!

Clomid cycle #1 is a bust. Going for day 3 ultrasound tomorrow to see if we can do cycle #2. I am also going to ask the RE to really LOOK to see where my largest fibroid is. Ever since I had the HSG, I've had cycle day 2 be the worst heaviest bleeding I've had in 20 years (this is third period after HSG). I think they knicked it when they did the IUI since she said I was bleeding a tiny bit when she took the catheter out, but I never saw any after that. I still think that fibroid is keeping me from getting pregnant. It's annoying that my GYN and the RE won't do anything about it "until you have multiple miscarriages". Um, I can't get pregnant, so how am I supposed to wait until I have multiple miscarriages? So frustrating. It's not their money. I have to take out a loan for this when all it might be is one stupid little fibroid that can be easily removed.

 

[MrsMcCurdy]

Hey y'all! Missed talking to you all recently. Glad to see more bfps! k4th, happy to see you're doing well! Fern, missed you're comforting and helpful words.
I'm just trying to save for my fertility tests, I have insurance now but will cost more upfront till I pay the deductible then it'll get a little better. Having worse issues with my period, day 38 of still bleeding and has been heavy the last 2 weeks, iron is getting low I can tell. So RE is getting higher on my priority list.
I've been keeping busy which is good, keeps my mind off things but also feel I'm not helping myself because I haven't been able to take the greatest care of myself. Just tired all the time.
I hope everyone is in a good place and is happy.
PS. I still stalk occasionally

 

[Jean40]

Onto clomid cycle 2. Fibroid still looks the same. No cysts! No change to my protocol, but I am getting my mid cycle scan 2 days earlier since I ovulated a day early last month.

 

[SarahLou372]

Hi ladies

Just dropping in to update you all.. I've had to stop my clomid on the last day due to headaches and blurred/disturbed vision! Apparently according to the gynae unit its a side affect of clomid they don't like! I'm still not right now I only missed one tablet so she said she don't think it will make a difference to the outcome of the cycle or treatment.

 

[babydollm87]

Hi a I'm new to this site I have taken my 1st round of clomid an I'm awaiting AF to arrive well hoping it don't show got all taltale signs that I have had for the past week an a half feeling n been sick headaches aching boobs running to the toilet moody as hell an I'm hoping it's not my mind playing games with me I'm due tomora an to scared to do a test as I have my fair share of mc over the yrs I'm 27an been trying for almost 7 yrs now all tests come bk normal so my gp said to try clomid..

 

[Fern81]

Just had to reply when I saw my ol' partners in crime popping in! I often think of you ladies and hope you are all doing well.

Lace&pearls - OMW What!!??? I can't believe they are treating you like that. I would have been so furious. At least you finally have the dreaded hycosy almost out of the way. Sheesh. Any way you could switch clinics? (probably a stupid question!). Hope as I stalk from time to time I see some positive things happen for you!

MrsMcCurdy - same for you! Bleeding for so long???? THB I hope you get to see the RE sooner rather than later just to sort out any underlying issues... I can just imagine how tired you must be hun. Really hope you get things sorted out just so you can have a nice, healthy normal life and carry on to get your bfp. x

K4th - I can't believe how far along you are already! Feels like just the other day you got your wonderful surprise bfp. I still can't believe you're going team yellow lol I am so curious and excited for you .

TTCBean - so have you tested again?

SarahLou - hi darl, glad you are trying again and sorry that you are suffering side effects. I hope that you also get your rainbow bfp soon hun. Things need to turn around!

Everyone else - Good luck to all you courageous clomid ladies! FX for all of you.

AFM - month 2 off of clomid and I'm still ovulating apparently. Last month I temped for a few days just to have something to show the FS (IF I still go end of June) and had a clear temp rise. This month I really just wanted to do NOTHING so I tracked nothing. Still, it's hard not to notice the oodles of EWCM, sensitive boobs and hectic O pains this month. A little hard to FORGET about ttc when my body is sending out these messages! Just a pity that I know ovulating means nothing for me because clearly even when I O I don't conceive (assuming it's from the blocked tube(s), scarring and endo inflammation). Oh well! In any case, I've been very sick with a virus so every time we dtd I coughed so much that all the "fell" out and I absolutely refuse to have a tww!
My sister's twin pregnancy is doing great and I'm more focused on having them in my life in 2 months. We are also seriously looking at a house!!! Eeek, FX we get it.

Hope everyone has a great weekend - public holidays and long weekend in RSA. Will pop in again some time!

6 DPO after my final round of clomid. Fx for a BFP!
