clomid club

[norahbattie]

I used to have 45 day plus cycles and ovulated around day 40 so not sure what is going to happen with clomid as I had an usually short cycle in round 1, it was only 17 days long!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Ohhh wow.....thats strange....my cycles are longer on Clomid but since you have a longer cycle maybe its just not time to O yet....I'd say maybe in about 4-5 more days...but continue to keep doing OPK's to make sure of course don't miss it!! ..... PRAYING you ovulate soon...

Norah - What cd are you?? Don't lose hope. I just started getting a noticable line yesterday, on cd 18. I hope to get my positive later today or tomorrow. Yours could be coming soon!

 

[zimmy]

This is weird - I am near the end of my 2nd Clomid cycle, CD 28 today (I usually have a 28 day cycle, but last month on Clomid it extended to 33 days). 5 am this morning I woke up with menstrual cramps, went to the bathroom hoping I wasn't too late and no bleeding. Cramps stopped, but here it is at noon and no bleeding or even spotting. huh.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I'm usually a 26 day cycle both my Clomid cycles were 32 days FX for you hunny! Praying stays away!

 

[Monalissa]

I have had no side effects from 100mg of clomid but felt rough with 50mg. I'm really scared it's not worked this cycle, I'll be day 12 tomorrow and still no high/peak on my monitor not even a faint second line.

Same here. I take my last 100 mg dose tonight and have pretty much been side effect free, except for this heartburn that still hasn't gone away! It'll be interesting to see if it stops once I am done. I hope it worked too. At least last month I felt "different" with 50 mgs and like something was going on with my body.

Clomid also extended my cycle to 29 days when they are normally 23-26 days max.

 

[norahbattie]

I can let you know ladies if it has worked tomorrow, I have a scan in the morning at 8.30. I am not keeping my hopes up and don't expect to see anything huge. I had a 4 cm cyst before that almost killed me so a 2.2 follicle I would feel, I feel nothing!
Currently day 12 and having a scan day 13, unlucky for some but I hope lucky for me I don't why my OBGYN says that it is failed cycle if the follicle doesn't grow to be a certain size between 10-14 days, why give up so easily?

 

[Monalissa]

Good luck, norah!! What was the size of your follie last time? Based on what I've read, they grow 1-2 mm per day. Unless it was really small, I would think it could grow enough if you have more time until O?

My largest was 14 mm on CD 13 but that was 26 hours after I detected my surge indicating I was going to O soon. My doc considered it a "success" but the lady who did the scan said it needs to be about 20 mm.

 

[norahbattie]

Mine was 9mm on day 10 last cycle but I am not too sure if to call last cycle a cycle as I had very intermittent AF and not a real bleed. AF this time was the best I have ever had, it was actually really pleasant!

 

[mk8]

Hey ladies, im wondering, how many days after your last clomid pill do u usually o?

Im on cd13 and took clomid days 2-6. Last cycle (first clomid) i git a kinda positive opk on cd13. By lp was shorter by a day though and i had a shorter cycle. Weird. I expected clomid to lengthen my cycle. I o on my own (though potentially weak as 21 day progesterone test was 26nmol/l)

No idea if clomid is helping me or not. Best of luck to you all!

My lp was 12 days long but when I had my progesterone checked at 6dpo it was 8. My doctor said this was lower but still fine. Idk why she thinks that but, whatever. So I'm thinking if I take vitamin b complex it will lengthen my lp thus, raising my progesterone. I used to take it (all in vain, of course, as I did ovulate) but stopped when I started taking a proper prenatal. Does anyone take a vitamin b complex- has it helped you?

Another thing I was considering. If my progesterone is low with 100mg, shouldn't I be put on 150mg? My doctor kind of laughed at me when I suggested this and said no because I still did ovulate. When I first was prescribed clomid I got 3 refills for 50mg. I used one and now have two left over but was just given 100mg after the first proved not to have worked. How horrible would it be for me to fill one of the 50mg and take it if in the next maybe 2 cycles 100mg doesn't work?

another post- but I posted this on the main board. Meant to post on here but it's LATE and my brain clearly isn't functioning. Sorry for the repost but I need you lovely ladies! haha

So I ALWAYS have clotty periods. They haven't been as bad since I've been taking baby asprin. I thought clomid was meant to thin your lining which (I imagine) would ultimately lead to a light period. My period is normal. Medium to heavy for the first few days and seems to be slowing down now. I doubt this is anything to worry aboout- in fact it's probably a good thing. Is it ok to assume that my lining isn't being too thinned from the clomid? Anyone else have normal periods?

 

[trying hard]

Hey helena, my periods have been heavier while on clomid and i also take b6 complex too 110mg per day and have taken my LP from 9 days to 14!! Good stuff! Added bonus I don't seem to get pms on it either

Zimmy, that is a good sign!! i had horrible AF craps with no bleeding for days when i got my
Any update?

 

[mrsjennyg]

sorry I have out of touch- but I finished my first 100 mg of clomid cycle. I had talked to my doc
and she said since I wanted to take it at night I could start to take it the night of cd2 before bed.
the only side effects seemed to be overly emotional.. .but we had brought my grandfather home
to die with hospice and we have been there with him pretty much 18 hrs a day...we don't want
our grandmother to be alone when he passes...but he's been holding on since 12/19 ! so the
"overly emotional" might just be normal for the situation.

I do take vitamins that I have heard some people say on here that helps- prenatal, evening
primrose, B100 complex and vitamin D

good luck to you all! fx for lots of 2012 bfp's!

Hi everyone. Hope you all had a great Christmas or holiday.

I called my OB yesterday to get my results from my blood test last week. The nurse said it was low. 5.4 taken on the 20th day. Her words were "it doesn't appear you are ovulating". I lost it. Slumped in the floor and sobbed.

I am frustrated with the dr. I've explained that I BBT and have a monitor that clearly indicated that I ovulate but my LP is short. I figured they would be a little more proactive with my situation. Guess I'm wrong.

I'm on CD 27. I usually have a 28 day cycle but with the the emotions, meds and stress it will will prob be late this month only to devastate me when AF finally shows.

I feel like such a lab rat.

Thanks for letting me vent. I'm saying prayers for us all!!

Zimmy... I'm praying hard for you.....
