clomid club

[Anxiously]

This month with my upped clomid I had two big follicles one on each ovary. One measuring 20.5 and the other 25.5 Trigger shot was given @ 9am thurs after my u/s. No problems with either me or OH but we just not been able to produce a little miracle as yet. The nurse did ask did i want the injection this month as we are at high risk of twins with the size of my follies this month. We had already discussed this and said yes so now were currently in the 2ww after having a very busy but fun weekend Im trying to stay positive but its so hard when it seems like everyone we know is pregnant or got little babies. . . Its heart wrenching.

My.Wish, I'm in the exact boat as you, with risk of twins. Well, let's not call it a risk shall we, I'd say it's a blessing!

I'm also literally surrounded by pregnant ladies just by sitting at my office desk! Makes it kinda of hard to move around with all the big mommies - it almost looks like a baby factory over there. My best friend is recently pregnant with her second babe, and I'm not spared from my neighbour either! I'm really crying inside.

My 2ww starts tomorrow after my IUI as well, do keep us updated on your status!

Hey ladies, im just dropping in to see how your all getting on Good luck to you all and your 2ww.. i know its the most intense time, but i have faith in you all and im sure one or more of you will get a bfp this cycle
Congratulations to anyone who already has a with not coming on this thread much i feel out of the loop now...
A drop of love and Perspective: It took me 6cycles of clomid 50mg and 1loss (after cycle2) to get to where i am now, 2weeks and ill be out of the woods thank god... i cannot believe how fast its gone since we found out, but at the time of trying it felt like we werent getting anywhere fast! My thoughts for the 6th cycle was it was my last and so even though i would make it count i wasnt going to stress over it as i didnt honestly think it would happen and i would have been taking some time out from ttc, and whala!! Even though it feels like a lifetime please just keep faith in yourself and keep trying its the best you can do... and fingers crossed and lots of luck youll get your bfp too

lots of very sticky xxxxx

It shouldn't be too late, but don't forget that a positive OPK doesn't mean that you've ovulated, just that you've had an LH surge. Fingers crossed you have ovulated and your BFP is just round the corner! Good luck!

I did mention in my journal that 14.8 is not a sign of no ov...in fact the opposite They say it has to be under 10 to show no ovulation! GP should defo refer!

When I had my blood tests, no-one seemed to know how to interpret the results, but someone (a doctor, I think), read somewhere that 16-28 is possible ovulation and over 28 is definite. When I had a 17 and a 23 one cycle, the gynae said it looked like I probably hadn't ovulated and I should increase the Clomid dose. Are you saying that I had ovulated after all? Oddly, the one time I had ovulation symptoms, I got 0.5 and 0.6. Odd.

levels are measured different in different countries. Which is why CJSG1977 said a 10 was ok...
Doctors look at the numbers differently. Some say that any number under that 'magic' number indicates no ovulation. In reality it means they can't guarantee you ovulated under that number. If you do ovulate but your progesterone doesn't reach 'ideal' levels, then it may lower your chance of successfully implanting. This may mean you don't implant at all, that you implant but have a chemical pregnancy, or in some cases you implant and your body increases progesterone to support the pregnancy and you have no trouble at all.

(I had 'borderline' numbers until I got on the right dose of clomid. I had 2 suspected chemical pregnancies when my numbers were borderline. Once I got the right dose of clomid, my progesterone levels hit normal and I got pregnant)

Borderline or low progesterone levels can be because your follicles don't get big enough to create a strong corpus luteum. If thats the problem, clomid can easily fix this. Good luck!

Thanks very much for that. I was wondering what it really meant. I'm off Clomid this cycle, but hoping to go on 150mg next cycle, so hopefully that will work. Fingers crossed...

BTW, CJSG1977 and I are both in Wales, so it should be the same for us.

I'm new to clomid.... Did my first round two weeks ago, but think this will be a BFN... if i'm correct I start Round 2 Next week. Here's to A bfp!!! They say 2nd times a charm!!

 

[amethyst77]

Is it normal to feel stressed and upset about taking Clomid? I was thrilled when the consultant said we could have it, as I thought we would be fobbed off again. Butsince then, I ahve felt really emotional about it all.
Also- are the Clomid mood swings really that bad? I am already quite up and down and wondering who to warn about them....
Thanks

[mrphyemma]

Kazza it just brings up a blank ff page for me

Irish I hope you won't need to start the 2nd cycle, why do you think it will be BFN this time?

amethyst, not everyone gets mood swings, some lucky ones don't get symptoms at all. You may be one of them. Usually for a few days after taking the first tablet I get snappy and moody, very similar to PMT but sometimes I feel very very depressed. It doesn't last long though and if it gets me a baby its well worth it. x

Happened to me, so don't worry about it. Clomid seems to have shortened the cycle for a few of us here too.
