clomid club

[CJSG1977]

Kazza Clomid is used for many fertility problems. Not ovulating is the most known one. I have always ovulated. But clomid helps with hormone levels (eostrogen / progesterone), producing more or stronger eggs and can lengthen luteal phases. So it is an all round fertility drug.

Clomid can change quite a lot with your cycle and you might find that you get new symptoms pre-AF. Im not sure pain pre sex, Id suspect thats the cervix doing things, rly dont know tho tbh. Call your Dr if youre ever worried about things tho. Theyre rly the people to know about your specific situation.

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

Thanks for the info and for being supportive. I am not in the UK, I am in the states, so i am not sure what the costs will be for me here. I will be sure to join in on the thread if i end up trying out clomid though.

I just bought mine- one 50 mg cycle was $20 generic.

 

[mrphyemma]

BFN again for me today and just had some brown cm so AF isn't far away. Ah well. One more chance to get pregnant before the due date of my little angel (6th August)

any of you ladies know if you havet to be a certain weight or bmi to go on clomid??? im between 36 and 37 and in the process of losing weight and i have just been diagnosed with pcos and im afraid they wont give it to me!!!

 

[cj72]

I'm in the US- I'm a BMI of 34 - My dr didn't even hesitate to give it to me. I didn't even have to ask...I've been taking B6 to lengthen my luteal phase and it's gone from 9 days to 15 days- maybe he saw that as a reason to give it to me-I don't know. I do hear the UK ladies saying it's hard to get it over there. My sister has PCOS and they did tell her to lose weight - she was about my weight though I don't have PCOS. She lost it and they gave it to her- after an HSG and gave her clomid she was pregnant the next month.

ok I have to chime in here. I have been on this board a long time. been TTC #2 for 18 months. I was one to take clomid on my own from October 2010 to January 2010, I had NO tests done. I had Ovulated on my own and I have normal periods. so I went online and bought Clomid 50mg at first did my research b/c I was alittle scared, but everything turned out fine. in Dec I was still NOT Pg i went finally for my HSG test normal. had blood taking normal. May 2011 I finally convenced DH to go to the FS and now we know, DH has normal sperm count they are just 10% slow swimmers. and I ovulate what looks every month just different days, and my LP might be defected. we are doing this cycle 50mg CD 2-6 which I just finished and we will be doing blood work a week after i get my first + OPK. I did although on CD 9 get a HIGH reading already. Last month I didnt ovulate and I didnt get AF till 2 weeks later. doesnt happen all the time was a first for me. SO this is my story and do research first. I did alot of it before getting it online.
we are scheduled for IUI first week of AUgust if I dont get PG this cycle

You don't have to be a specific weight for clomid per say but the nhs have cutoffs of either 30 or 35 bmi depending on where you live.

 

[kazzab25]

Cj - I didn't no that thought it was just to produce better quality eggs and ovulation!! Thanks for sharing xxx

i was totally scared of that as well but my doc just laughed it off lol. she said try to lose some weight but she sees women much heavier with healthy pregnancies. heck she even put it down as irregular periods so my insurance covered it!

 

[CJSG1977]

Miranda its nice to hear a good gp actually trying to help! Clomid worked for you then? Good luck in your pregnancy hun.

I have heard some enforce a cutoff but my specialist didnt even have my latest weight when I was prescribed it. But I think even by my old weight my bmi was 29. Its 24.5 now. I know for IVF its a different story. A friend of mine is waiting for IVF and was told to lose weight.

I have had all sorts of cramping while on clomid. In the luteal phase and up to ov mostly. My period cramps were then horrendous too. But everyones story is different.

As for pain before sex...thats something you should get checked out. If anything clomid just makes me horny when I take it ( ) but doesnt cause pains like that.

Sorry for the bfn Emma

How is everyone doing?

I'm CD5, tonight is day 4 of clomid And to be honest the symptoms, so far, are not as bad as last month. Mildly blurry vision, couple of bad headaches and some mood swings. AF is gone Thank god!

So took a few pics after my son's graduation:


My son and his best friend! They are a mess been friends since my son started mid-year at Cedarbridge Academy from the Belair borading school in Jamaica.



My son and his age-girl. As he says "Mom, I'm just checking her out..that's all). What ever! lol



My son and his step-father (my husband)



Me and my son! I am so proud of him. He starts his first ever job today! that means I can save more money for myself We agreed he gives me $80.00 a week from his paychick. I said it goes towards the house bills but I already started a bank account for him and going to put the money in there so when he turns 21yrs old he has a nest egg (in hope he can move out just joking but its not a bad idea though
