clomid club

[TryinFor1]

Going onto month seven now. Never imagined it would take that long. I asked my mom and my grandma if they had any trouble getting pregnant and they both laughed in my face.. literally. Lol. I am the ONLY one in my entire family who has had problems with this.

Thanks for the reassurance. I think that not smoking will immensely help! I am trying to figure out a way to get him to take some kind of ttc vitamin.. but IDK if he would be willing to go for that.

What about you? how long you been trying? Will this be your first or do you have others?

I know how you feel, I'm the only one in my family with this problem too I'm trying for my first, got a BFP last September but lost the pregnancy the following month. I've been TTC for over 2 years! But, to be honest, a lot of that time was really ntnp...I didn't get any testing done until my HSG last year and lap & dye this year.

Quitting smoking really will help, good luck! I quit 5 years ago, and am REALLY glad I did. It was super hard, but I'll never have to do it again

So I'm not the only one with a man who doesn't want to get his SA!!! Annoying! Glad to know someone else understands how frustrating it is!

My DH took more than 4 months to finally get the SA complete. He tried several times with my help, he thought it was way too weird. . . one night I lost it, I was so upset because my dr wouldn't proceed with anything until he did. about 2 days later I asked him to try one last time. I had to pull some websites up (Which I am completely against!), handed him the computer and a cup and Success!!! I had to talk him into going with me to the hospital to drop it off just in-case they needed his signature, I didn't want him to have to go through all that again.

I am the only one in my family who has gone through this. . . actually most of my family had children before they graduated high school. Now they all have several. We have been trying a little more than 2 years.

Good luck quitting smoking!

so took my 5th pill today so now it's just time to get jiggy with it I guess... I was wondering if the side affects(namely the hot flushes )carry on after you have taken your final pill or will that stop tomorrow?

TryFor1 I know exactly how you feel - I am the ONLY one on both sides of my family, and in DH's family that has had trouble conceiving. Probably why we haven't told anyone because even my own mother doesn't understand. Even my cousin with endometriosis conceived on accident! And as far as I know, nobody in my family has ever had a miscarriage. I wish I had someone in my family that I could relate to, but nada. I feel like such a failure!

My ob/gyn wasn't all that worried about my DH not having a SA done. I think the big thing though was that he did get me pregnant last year, even if it was only for a hot minute. He also asked if my DH had had any injuries to the groin or surgeries. My DH hasn't, and is healthy so we weren't worried. He agreed that after Christmas if I still wasn't pregnant he would get one done. He actually wasn't against it, I was just afraid to ask him to do it LOL! I hope your DH either changes his mind, or doesn't have any sperm issues and you get pregnant soon. I hope he isn't away during your fertile week in December - my DH spends more time away from home than at home so I definitely understand the frustration!

 

[Asryellah]

My DH hasn't given SA either, it totally pisses me off. I'm going to give him time untill end of Dec (when my clomid prescr. ends) and then he has to go and do it, because it seems like we are not going to have success without help. And I'm hating even waiting that long, because by that time we might have even succeeded if theres a problem in his sample we could do something about it!

So I'm starting clomid round 5!!!! I so feel like giving up . Everywhere I look (google) it says clomid helps in 1-3 rounds, after that it doesnt...

 

[caz & bob]

girls bin in really bad pain with my lower back these last few day do you think i could o early my right side were i have no tube is bad paining i have took a wee sample in my doctors to see if i have got a uti if its not a uti not a clue what it could be unless i am ovulating early what do you girls think xxx

 

[TryinFor1]

It is great to know I am not the only one! Yes, it is QUITE frustrating he wont just go get one! lol. Partially thinking about getting one from online, doing it to him myself, and running and locking myself in the bathroom till the results come out. Lol.

Oh, and maurie, I dont smoke. DH did, but he quit about a month ago! I was saying I hope that it helps his sperm! BUT thanks for the good luck.

i totally understand.... everyone in my family seems to get pregnant first month's off the pill and without even trying hard!
My sister even had an abortion because she is supposedly "too fertile"... no point saying that i found it hard to speak to her... and now she finds it hard to speak to me because she regrets the abortion so much and now i am preggers so she finds it too hard to talk about... what a mess!
I feel very lucky, our doctor wouldn't prescribed the clomid unless we had done a SA and all the test (HSG, scan etc), OH was getting really broody so he did not complain and went to do it at the clinic (he said it was fine, even got some good porn mags lol)
Doing the SA really made him sympathise with me though and he had to answer all sorts of questions about his caffeine and alcohol consumption and it really made him realise that i was not just a crazy women nagging him about his vitamins and not drinking too much coffee and afterwards he even bought his vitamins himself and religiously took them.

 

[TryinFor1]

Yeah.. idk. I hope that my dr doesnt stop giving me clomid because of it. IDK if I ovulate on my own.

Anniemacd: :wave: Welcome to CLOMIDVILLE!!! sorry hun no I have never been on 25mg but 50mg and 100mg. if you had five follies that were the right size why was it abandoned in the mean time good luck to you on this cycle!

Monalissa: :wave: Welcome to CLOMIDVILLE!!! Good luck to you on this cycle

Just catching up in this thread and want to say thank you for the welcome!

 

[Monalissa]

My OBGYN would not prescribe clomid until DH had his SA. I was lucky, no arguments from him (not to say he was thrilled about it - more embarrassed than anything!). We had the appointment a few days after she told us he needed to go in. Thankfully, everything was great.

I'm pretty sure AF is coming in the next day or two. I don't have much cramps yet but spotting started on Sunday and usually lasts 3-4 days. I'll be starting my first cycle of clomid in a few days. I wish I wasn't so nervous!

What is everyone doing to help boost CM? Pre-seed or Robitussin? We've been using a small amount of pre-seed for the last 2 months as it definitely seems to help make things more comfy. I'm going to take the pill at night to help with side effects. Any other tips?

For those of you taking it cd 3-7 when did you get a positive OPK?

 

[RM_Wife]

Hey ladies, how are things? I think there has been another positive sign over the last few days, I have had a metally/bloody taste in my mouth every morning up until about lunchtime. I was speaking to my friend about it and she told me she had that when she fell pregnant. So I am still trying to not get my hopes up too much but the signs are looking good for this cycle xx

 

[cj72]

RM_Wife - Fingers crossed for you sweetie! When are you testing? I'm CD8- Prob Monday before I Ovulate.

 

[zimmy]

Monalissa - I've been using a little bit of pre-seed, but I don't think I really needed it this cycle. Trying hard not to symptom-spot this month as I'm getting some side -effects to Clomid. When is everyone due for Af this cycle? I'm due Sunday but will test Saturday so I can go to a Christmas party and not worry about it

 

[TryinFor1]

Well, this cycle is only day two. I decided to take my clomid cd2-6 instead of 3-7 in hopes I ovulate a little sooner. SO, this cycle I expect AF to be due around December 17 but I am gonna try and hold out testing till the 22nd, which will be mine and DH 4 years since we started dating.

I take evening primrose oil from day 1 untill ovulation and that does wonders for the CM...Give it a go, it doesn't cost too much and it really does help me
