The monitoring really depends. They dont do it as standard on the NHS or even privately and if youre not having iui or trigger shot Im not sure theres much value in it other than checking that youre responding well to the clomid.

You can do opk to check when youre ovulating but the best way is just to have sex tbh. even with a low normal count you should be ok dtd every other day and not affect sperm count too much

they sometimes do a hsg sometimes not, i never had one.

Hi Ladies, AF arrived this morning right on my little girl's birthday. Ahh well at least I have no time to wallow as I have to entertain the kids all day. I'm having a break from the clomid, taking some vitamins and hoping for a miracle x

Aww, I am sorry hun....

Hi Ladies!

Still no AF, and its day 36. Took a pregnancy test and it was negative. My boobs are sore, I have cramps and twinges....no idea what is going on!?!?!?!

Maybe I might have scared my period away because I was too excited to begin my clomid? My doctor says to wait a week and if still no period and retesting are still negative then she's prescribing me provera....Im just a mess right now. Ive read a little bit about provera, but for those of you who had to take it and have had irregular periods (ie. 23 but no longer than 36 days) after the 10 day prescription do you get your period right away?

Thanks!

i hated provera more than clomid for my skin and sleeping patters, so i took it 5 days (10mg) and it worked the same. I got period about 3 days after ending it.

Hi ladies,

I picked up my clomid yesterday. I was prescribed 3 months by the hospital but my doctor has given me 6 months worth

Does it matter when I take these tablets? I've been told to take 100mg on days 2-6 but has it been shown to be more successful in the morning or evening?

Cheers

 

[cranberry987]

it doesnt matter rly but take em at the same time every day. some say evening means you sleep through the side effects but i took mine in the morning and was fine

gl!

I took mine in the morning last month and had headaches before lunch. Took the first tablet last night this time around and we'll see how it goes this time.

Are you sure you've been given 6 months' worth? You'll probably have 50mg tablets so you need to take 2 a day. Sorry if you already know that!

Hello ladies:wave:

I am not currently on clomid but have used it in the past but I have some questions..
When I had clomid last it was when we were TTC Emily.. we used 100mg clomid with Pergeon injectiables , trigger shot with 2x IUI.
Our fertility issues are.. I have one tube, DH has a low end of normal count and our ages.. I am almost 39 and DH is 42

This time because of money being tight and wanting to try TTC without IUI, I was thinking about asking my DR about trying us out with just clomid on our own.

Now for my questions..

When you take clomid without doing IUI do they still monitor your cycle via U/S ?

How do you know when to BD with out temping ??
I can't because of my sleep patterns.

Do they make you have a HSG before giving you clomid ?

Hi future!

I wasn't monitored with u/s on Clomid. Just given 1 months' worth and told to get 21 day progesterone blood tests and further Clomid from my GP.

You could try checking CM instead of temping.

I had an HSG before Clomid, to see what the problem might be, but not everyone does. Mine failed because I have a narrow cervix and they can't get a catheter up it, so I went on to have a lap and dye.

ok So CD13 and i went back for another sonogram. I have 4 eggs growing 2 on each side. They have to be 2cm to do IUI. 1 egg is almost ready she said. If I dont get a surge on my OPK's tomorrow I have to get another sonogram Friday then I hope IUI lol just a waiting game till I ovulate and get to 2cm

 

[BabyForMe83]

oh my gosh - sounds like great news! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx

4 follies is great! I've had only 2 the first round of IUI and 3 the second (I got a trigger shot with just 2 mature follies). What are the sizes of the other 3? Maybe you can get the doc to give you a trigger shot once those 3 are big enough to increase your chances?

Hi ladies hope everyone is good afm I went to see gp today and as I was given 6 months worth of clomid and only took 4 because I started ovulating on my own he now want me to take the last 2 cycles of clomid 150mg before sending me back to the gyne for next steps I'm ok with taking them but I'm a bit worried as I've heard that taking clomid while your ovulating on your own can have the adverse effect and actually stop you from ovulating do and of you ladies have any advice thanks x x

I've been a regular ovulator but still got on clomid for unexplained infertility. No side effects other than shorter and heavier period.

1.4cm the others are I forgot the one thats bigger

trigger shot makes you pop the egg out of the mature follicle, i think its fsh they give you

i dont know about clomid stopping you ovulating but if you already ov and they put you on 150mg Id ask about monitoring as you may find that you react v strongly to it.

The only thing my gp wants me to do is take the clomid days 2-6 then get my cd21 bloods done
