Hi ladies, hope all is well. I was wondering this moening, do any of you take women's daily pre-natal vitamins? The pack comes with 30 prenatal and 30 fish oil- each month I only take the prenatal bc tthe fish oil makes me nauseous ( even when I take it w food) and I burp fish all day long, I ask bc am I missing out on something by not taking it ?

Hi Ladies, just got back from the OB who had confirmed my Actually saw the little pregnancy sac in my first sonogram pic. It's still early though, I'm only just starting my 5th week. So still keeping my fingers crossed.

But I thought it will be good to just share my thoughts on what led to the , perhaps some of you can identify with these symptoms as well.

1st Clomid cycle
- No side effects
- Hungrier than usual but only during luteal phase
- IUI on CD14 but I think I ovulated way too early for the inseminated sperm to catch the egg
- Usual pre-AF tender boobs, but went away a couple of days before AF arrived.
- No cramps at all
- Ultra heavy AF on the first day, with lots of blood clots. Never had this since my teens! The next 2 days were lighter, but still heavier flow as compared to my pre-Clomid days.
- AF lasted only 4 days

2nd Clomid cycle
- Went for HSG, all clear
- Headaches after taking Clomid
- Hungrier than usual during LP
- IUI on CD14, this time I think I ovulated right before insemination
- OB prescribed 10mg Duphaston (progesterone) to be taken twice a day until AF arrives
- BBT dip on 7dpo
- Warm, fuzzy feeling in the stomach from 12 dpo onwards
- Constipation
- Acne breakout (face and body)
- Mild and short cramps that goes on and off on 12-14 dpo
- Boobs continued to be sore past 14 dpo
- No fatigue, no nausea
- Get hungry more frequently (although my appetite at each meal has not increased)

I'm definitely no expert but my gut feel tells me that the 2nd round was successfully because of 4 factors:
- The heavy AF after the first round had cleared the old uterus lining and any blood clots that had been sticking around, thereby making way for fresh new lining to be built up
- The HSG cleared my tubes of any minor obstructions
- My ovulation occurred right on time for IUI
- The progesterone pills that I've been taking throughout LP

In both cycles I had 2 mature follies which ruptured. But only 1 got fertilised during the 2nd round.

So there you go! I hope this helps and to all!

Can I ask, what's the longest anybody has gone without AF and did clomid get you ovulating? I ask because I haven't had one since March 2010 and I'm wondering if clomid is gonna be enough for me...

I've read that Duphaston is prescribed to regulate menstrual cycle as well. But I think this drug is not available in the UK...give Clomid a go this cycle and see how it pans out. I guess your OB will adjust the dosage accordingly later, and if necessary recommend some alternatives.

My AF between first (bfn) and 2nd (bfp) clomid cycle was super heavy too. Horrible massive clots the size of your pinkie, was scary. Maybe it cleared me out dunno rly but theres so many factors its hard to say.

People take provera sometimes to start AF off if they have super long cycles, might be worth asking your Dr.

Hey ladies! I am in need of a little help here. Im on my 2nd cycle of Clomid, 100mg. I have not been able to ovulate in years due to PCOS. Today is cd 17 and I started getting a pain on my left side all of a sudden that lasted for about an hour then was gone. I went and took an OPK, but it wont let me post the picture of it on here yet because I havent posted 10 times yet. It looks positive to me. I had a co-worker look at it and they think it looks positive, but then again they have never seen one before

 

[cranberry987]

Sounds like ovulation to me mine was usually a sharp stabby pain which would last a few hrs. Get jumping on dh!
