clomid club

[Euronova]

Hey ladies, all crossed for a load of :BFP: before Christmas!!
Had my 12 weeks scan yesterday and just wanted to say Clomid can definitely do miracles. After a year of NOTHING happening, prob not even ovulation, we are finally able to tell everyone we are having a baby. The cycle we got our :BFP: I was sure it had not worked, I had horrible AF pains... Keep the hope up!

Good morning ladies (well it's morning here!)
thank you so much for all the advice about clomid. I cannot tell you how happy I am that my friend told me about this site, you have all been so wonderful and supportive (very different than what I found on another site).
Anyway, I'm not naive and I know that its not going to be the best couple of days when I start (right before New Years) but if it gets us our take home baby then it is worth it, right?
I am wondering though, I only have one tube and I don't know which side I'm ov on so wouldn't it be a waste if I'm taking it on the cycle that's on the bum tube side? We're doing 3 cycles with clomid and then on to IUI (at least that's what I think the doc said I was still out of it from surgery- I have my post-op on 12/29 so I'll get the details then).
Have a great day!

clomid stimulates both side, which is why there is more risk of twins, so i guess you can still ovulate from the "good" side

When did you get af pains during your tww?

I got them yesterday, along with a backache, at 8dpo. I am PRAYING it was implantation! I have never felt like that before!

Hey ladies, I have a Clomid question for you. This is my first round on Clomid 50mg (CD5-7) and I took my first pill yesterday afternoon. This morning my temp was super high. normally I am between 96.8 and 97.1 and today I was at 97.7! Has anyone ever had this happen?

Thanks!

i got AF pain nearly a week before AF was due... i thought i was going to have the worse periods in my life! i kept going to the loo to check as i even dreamt that i was bleeding at night the pain was so strong.
i kept saying to OH... oh dear... i am not sure how many months of clomid i will stand and what if i have to take a higher dose!!! i had palpitations, headaches, hot flushes.. the whole lot and my boobs were really painful (they got painful before AF usually but it was worse)
i was so sure all was due to the clomid and in a way it prob was as my progesterone at day 21 was 88!! so i had a very strong ovulation (prob the first one in over a year!)

Thanks girl! I got them HORRIBLE yesterday. I was nervous it was PMS but it is gone today. It wasnt a week before af though, only 4 days. She is due Saturday. AHH!! I hope it is true!!

Waving a shy hello.

Hope it's ok for me to join. I'm on cycle 13 of TTC, I'm 31 and dh is 32. I ov on my own but my day 21 prog is borderline at 26nmol/l. My cycles are regular at 26-30 days, lp 12 days usually with spotting on 12dpo. Bloods revealed my numbers are ok but I have an elevated free androgen index (which can suggest pcos) but my internal ultrasound revealed everything was ok. Doc told me to keep trying, hubby had sa and his numbers are ok (35m/ml, 7%normal form, 51% progressive). After some badgering my doc prescribed clomid (refuses to do hsg as I'm low risk).

So took 50mg days 2-6. Opk and temped as I was curious what clomid would do, I got a positive opk earlier cd13, usually cd15), though fert friend says i ovd on cd15. but lp appears a bit shorter as I started spotting today cd26, 11dpo. Usually spot 12dpo on cd27. Temps also fell from 8dpo which surprised me as I expected clomid to boost stronger ov, stronger corpus luteum and therefore prog and lp.

Wishing you all the best of luck!

Hey all! I forgot about this clomid thread!

I will only be 6dpo on CD 21 but it will be much easier for me to get my progesterone checked on cd 21 instead of cd 22. Will this be ok or should I just wait until I'll be at a proper 7dpo?

 

[trying hard]

Wow lots of posts over night! lots to catch up on...

ttcreed- Has AF started properly yet?

euronova- Thanks for the words of encouragement, its always nice to hear success stories from a fellow LTTTCer

Trying for one- Good luck hun, it aint over till the fat lady sings. I wish you lots of for your test today

mrs jennyg- euronova is right you still have a good chance every month even with only one "good" tube. good luck

mk8- all your stats look pretty darn good to me but thresholds are a lot lower here in NZ for example day 21 progesterone only needs to be over 15! and thats while on clomid. I think perhaps you did O on cd 13 like your positive opk said so that makes things about right putting you at 13dpo not 11.

Helena I don't think it matters too much so long as the know how many days PO you are so you can tweek the numbers a little. Good luck!




I am now CD29 and 15dpo. I'm not ready for the heart ache of testing again so I'm just going to wait another couple days and see what happens. I was up quite a few times last night with an upset stomach and now I have diareah TMI I know sorry) So yeah cant really trust my temps this morning seens as I was up so many times. It was 36.8 so above cover line but below what it has been stable at for the last week. I have been having cramps too but don't know if its period cramps or upset stomach cramps. I'm sure I will find out soon enough though. PLEASE LET THIS BE IT... I have never got to 15dpo before (thank you clomid!!!!)

 

[TryinFor1]

It doesnt matter Helena. I know I answered you on facebook but the first time I had my progesterone checked, it was 7dpo and it was 17.2 The second time, I was 3dpo and it was 23. SO, you will be good to go!

I was Oing before but had LPD (9days)




Well totally bummed, the has come... on to round two.

 

[mk8]

Oooo 15 day lp is great then! Sorry about the witch but i hear cycle three of clomid is the one that works for most!

Question... Can you take b6 complex with clomid? Also, anybody tried acupuncture with clomid?

I took b6 with it... I don't think it would have been nearly as long with out it. I will be doing the same this cycle too. I'm wanting cycle two to be the one for me, I don't want to waste another month and another $60 not that that is much in comparison to IUI and IVF but even still, less is better. I think we have spent a small fortune on tests, vitamins, special lube and HPTs . Would hate to add it all up.
