Clomid club - before, during and after

[dandybrush]

:wave: has hit heres hoping second times the charm

 

[caz & bob]

aw hun fx for next cycle hun are you taking folic acid and drinking green tea hun they both help xxxx

 

[dandybrush]

thanx, what does green tea do?? i am taking folic acid

 

[lisaf]

green tea can inhibit the absorption of folic acid... but its also said to help with cm.. so

 

[dandybrush]

maybe i should have it for my cm, being that clomid made me dry maybe just till Ov then stop, is green tea like regular tea?

 

[lisaf]

green tea is a particular kind of tea...
There are other things to help CM like drinking grapefruit juice or taking Robitussin to thin out the stuff you do have etc... you can also use preseed to help.

 

[dandybrush]

yep, i might try the grapefruit juice and robitussen this cycle, unless my gyn says otherwise

 

[dandybrush]

so i went to the gyn, and im not allowed to take any clomid this cycle, apparently, my ultrasound last time, being on day 9 didnt confirm pcos, so i have to have another one which im having tomorrow i hate ultrasounds

and the reason im not allowed to start the clomid again is my stupid OH because he hasnt had his semen tested yet she said she doesnt want me on something with potential side effects if his sperm arent swimming straight now im never gonna get my xmas bfp i'll prob have another 80 day cycle now

 

[lisaf]

can you get provera from your doctor this time so at least you can cut the cycle off once the SA has been done?
Also... I had long, non-ovulatory cycles then after a few rounds of clomid, I ovulated on my own at a regular time... so perhaps there will be some residual effect of the clomid? Always hope, right?

 

[dandybrush]

i dunno we have to make an appointment once he has done the test.

yes can hope though am feeling doubtful now

this is what I am affraid of I am on my 2nd round of clomid I am just doing next cycle if I am not PG then thats it. DH will not get tested so I got a Home kit its 95% accurate better be for $100. Just getting DH to do that will be a challenge I am sure. I am just going to say you dont want to get checked we do it at home together! I just need to know that his sperm moves and its healthy. I ovulate on my own so this is why I am going to stop the clomid after 3 months on it.

Hello ladies,
I would love to join your group. I myself am on clomid 3-7 and this is my first cycle. I started yesterday and I am kinda nervous but excited. I'm nervous because I am 39 and overweight so the chances for me are thin. I can't talk to my husband about all this women things, because he gets to timid and doesn't know what to say. So I would love some great ladies to hop on the baby boat with. I wish all of you some baby dust.
Happy

 

[lisaf]

hey babebump!

I'm overweight too and clomid still worked just fine for me! (I'm a bit younger than you but if your ovarian reserves are good then age shouldn't be too big a factor for you in clomid working or not).

 

[TntArs06]

HAPPY 16 weeks Lisaf!!!! Gosh I remember when you got your bfp and your already this far! Wow! Do you know what your having yet?

 

[lisaf]

How've you been doing?

 

[caz & bob]

Hello beautiful ladies how is everyone and there bumps? (those that have them) Im back from Dubai now and god i wish i wasnt lol. Life is so good out there...

Still waiting on results from the tests i had done before i went away, hopefully i will get them soon. The doc has told me that my testosterone (cant spell) lol is very high, should be 1.7 mine is 2.9. Looking likely that this is the main reason for my weight issue. Im just happy to be getting some answers.

Anyway will be about again soon, so busy with things at the moment. Speak soon girls takecare xxxx
