Hi, I haven't personally bought clomid online but there are ladies on this thread who have. I was started on 50mg but didn't ovulate on that so was increased to 100mg. I think 150mg is the maximum dose but best to start with 50.

Basically, go to a Dr for it.

i was on 50mg hun and ovulated, but you'd be best booking in for blood work to make sure you ovulate as you dont want your ovarys over stimulated and end up with cysts. good luck xxx xxx

I'd like to applaud Cranberry! And I am about to make a very strong opinion so I apologise if I offend....

Clomid should not be used to self medicate! There are reasons that women like myself and others go through months if not years of testing and treatment. So that the right treatment is given and with as little risk to the patient as possible. When you choose to self medicate you are giving that drug free rein to do damage to your body and having no medical support. Clomid is linked to ovarian cancer, and hyperstimulation. It may not be what you need to get pregnant!

The best thing you can all do is do what the rest of us has done...be patient. Get to a GP, be referred and make sure that you are on the right treatment for you. And if you cant wait go private.

The damage you are going to do to your bodies could end up ruling you out of having children all together if you are not careful!

Good articles Cranberry!

Again, I dont mean to offend but I have gone nearly 4 years ttc and 6 mc's and its frustrating seeing people play with drugs they dont understand.

Please be careful if you buy online!

I dont want to have a go either, but clomid rly is quite a strong drug. Theres pages and pages of ppl here having side effects and all sorts. You really need monitoring while on it. Talk to your Dr, they might not be as harsh as you think. Nothing to lose

Just to let you know a rough idea of costs in the uk at least as I went private. I got 4 months of clomid with one consultation and an ultrasound. Cost me £400.

I hope you feel able to stay here whatever you decide. We rly are very nice

Do you have PCOS baby.wishing? That can cause multiple +opk's? Or like Caz says you could be pregnant, have you used an hpt?

Hi emma no I don't have pcos and aint taken a hpt as I'm only cd15 of my new cycle but this has never happened to me before x x

 

[mrphyemma]

So PCOS is ruled out then. I just wondered if you thought you had gotten AF two weeks ago but were infact pregnant. Did you test when AF arrived to rule out pregnancy? If you can rule out pregnancy then I would possibly recommend trying a different brand of opk next time as some brands aren't as sensitive as others. x

I did post a few weeks ago because I did get what looked like a few pos hpts but then af showed up well I think it was af anyways all this cycle my internet strips has stayed negative and the asda brand but my first response opks are still positive hun x

I understand what you are saying wannabeprego. I am not sure how clomid will help low sperm...if thats the problem then diet, smoking and drinking are things to consider. Make sure he is taking vitamins and drinking lots of water. Also things like be weary wearing clothes too tight round crotch and not have extreme temps ie too hot baths for example.

I know its just me but sometimes it feels like a slap in the face to me cause here I am meant to get treatment and I see people who have kids or who have only been trying a few months and then self med'ing or speaking ill of the nhs. I am relying on the nhs to give me even just one child! Clomid has made me quite a frustrated person.

You really must be careful about using these drugs. Soy Isoflavones do the same as clomid and its natural and you can buy it very cheap. Would that be a better bet as a first step?

I hope you have you forever baby soon hun!

 

[CJSG1977]

Baby maybe do a test to reassure yourself whats going on. At least you'll know either way then. I had 5 days pos last month and last year I had a month with 10 days! I think I never ov on that cycle but my body kept trying.

Wanna be preggo hiya

I agree with Cj re the sperm count and agree not to self medicate however that's your choice

My oh has a low sperm count and our dr is referring him for an ultra sound scan of the
testies and gave five main vitamins; zinc vit c and e, selium l'cartine this should help and
is quite cheap to buy.

I have been prescribed clomid due to PCOS and not ovulating on my own. Do you ovulate? If yes clomid will not really be much use to you hun x

 

[kazzab25]

AFM last day of clomid tomorrow woop woop however this is my last round !!!!
