clomid club

[mellieb]

Hi Ladies! I'm new here and was excited to find this thread! After a lot of convincing, my DH and I are TTC number three. I am on day 20 of my fist Clomid cycle. I did not have any side effects until the past couple days. Is this normal or could the effects be from ovulating? I have been very dizzy, nauseous, grumpy, no appetite, tired but can't sleep at night, pressure in my head, hot flashes, and a very sensitive gag reflex. I feel like a complete wack-a-doodle! My doctor is lowering my dose for next month because there was too high of a risk of multiples this month -so there was no MBS. Hopefully, next month will be better.

Hi mellieb, how many mg of Clomid did the doc give u? I'm on my first cycle of Clomid as well n today is day 21 of my cycle. I was given 100 mg of Clomid. I noticed that my body is tired but I can't stay asleep at night, no appetite but I hv hunger pangs at crazy hours. Did ur doc also gave u progesterone pills? I noticed after taking progesterone pills I'm not as moody.

I'm sorry to hear about what your sister said. My sister was a fertile myrtle and it seemed like everyone time I turned around she was pregnant. Hopefully, your sister will realize how inconsiderate she was. I hope today is better for you.

I'm not sure, (threw the bottle away) but they are going to adjust the dose for next time. I was on progesterone as well. They want to see me after my cycle starts to see what dose of clomid I need.

baby wishing- That was inconsiderate. I was ( notice I said WAS) the fertile Myrtle in my 20's and my sister spent 10 years fighting PCOS to get pregnant and have her beautiful baby. We're both trying again right now. I'm so sorry your sister was inconsiderate and you were hurt. Hugs coming your way sweetie!!!

cranberry987 thanks for the kind words. I'm meeting with my doctor this morning to find out the game plan. I guess I assumed clomid was in the cards since the last time I spoke to her a few months ago she said that could be a possibility. I honestly think I might ovulate sometimes because I feel the twinges and all the other bells and whistles when one ovulates...so, im just so confused right now that all I want is guidance. Realistically a few more cycles of blood work might be a good option, but like I said the wanting of being pregnant has now started to become big drum rhythms in my whole entire body that i cant hear anything else, lol . What was your journey like? Ladies, what has been your journeys so far?

Baby dust to all!

Hi Ladies,

Just received an email from my gyn saying that my progesterone blood test came back that I did not ovulate naturally this month. A little background story-I have been tracking my af's since this past January (i know short time, but once hubby and I decided to start trying, I wanted to be pregnant yesterday) past 5 cycles my periods have been pretty irregular ranging from 23- 35 days most recent. Tried the OPK's never got a + result also tried BBT temps were all over the place. So here I am, day 1 of finding out I now need to look into medicine to help me ovulate. I must admit I'm not the healthiest- Im 5'2 about 190 pds (although I've been told I carry it well- whatever that means) and I occasionally drink and smoke- needless to say, today is day 1 of not smoking. I guess to sum it up, I'm feeling a little disappointment in myself, angry at myself and feeling 'less of a woman' although I totally understand that this is life and I'm not alone I still cant shake this feeling. But I've never been one to give up or wallow in my pity, so I'm meeting with my doctor tomorrow to discuss the process but can anyone give me a run down on what I can expect? Has anyone gotten a after their 1st round of clomid? Does this feeling of disappointment and let down get easier as you go further into the process?
Thank you for your responses in advance! Good luck to all

Infertility is really hard, but I've found being on here really, really helpful - just being able to let it all out, get advice and feel supported has been great.

Is this the first time you're seeing your doctor? They should get you to do blood tests first, to see if you're ovulating. I recommend charting your BBT and CM to see when you might be ovulating, so that you do the blood test on the right day (7-10 days after ovulation). If you check you CM as well as BBT, it might help.

If you're not ovulating, I suggest acupuncture - I can't praise it enough! I took Clomid for 3 cycles and still didn't ovulate, then ovulated first (and second) time on acupuncture!

It's not an easy journey, but chatting to others who know how you feel really helps. Good luck! to you!

Hi to the newbies!

Baby.wishing - sorry to hear you've been having such a hard time. I really hope you get your BFP soon.

Oh, and LadyE - you might want to try hypnotherapy for the weight loss and smoking - Paul McKenna's programmes are fab! I lost over a stone and my brother massively cut down on his 60-a-day habit. All you need to do is buy the book and CD - it's much cheaper than going to a hypnotherapist!
