Welcome, Sarah. Your scan sounds promising! Please keep us posted on your next scan.

Feb4th2011 -- I don't know, but I am interested in any responses you get. I may do a HSG my next cycle if I don't get a BPF this month. I was wondering if you can do both in the same cycle.

Lots of !!!

[trying hard]

hello all It's been a while since I posted in this thread as I have been on holidays with crappy internet. Am currently CD22 round 2 of 50mg days 2-6.

Both my day 12 and 21 bloods have come back pretty good so I am really hoping for my this month, the first week wait was pretty good but now that I'm back home It's starting to play on my mind again. DH went and did another SA (his last was borderline) today which he was very good about although we have had the little cup waiting to be used for over 2 months but oh well it is done now. Will probibly get the results tomorrow

Been having loads of symptoms but I often do and they have never turned out to be anything before. I have really sore boobs, they look bigger (normally I'm a D cup anyway) but I also bought some new bras so it may just be that. My lower back is super sore but I also spent 4 hours in the car yesterday, I've been having naps most days this week but we are on holiday so maybe my body is just making the most of it. And killer headaches and vivid dreams, all of which can be explained away to the clomid. It is such a hard job trying to balance being optimistic and not getting your hopes up. 2ww sucks!!! Sorry for my rambling just wanted to get it out.

Good luck and baby to all hope everyone gets there this time round.

I would think that would be fine. You can continue to try the month of your HSG, so taking Clomid shouldn't matter. I think the reason this doesn't happen very often is because HSGs are done around cd7-10, and Clomid is usually taken starting cd5 the latest, so the opportunity for that cycle has already been missed. Good luck!

Hey Thanks for the reply! I'm not quite sure if I understand what you mean by "the opportunity for that cycle has already been missed" I'm taking the clomid CD3-7, having the HSG CD 10. The earliest i would ovulate would be day 11... but more likely 12-14. What do I miss?!!

Hiya ladies,

How is everyone doing?

I'm 9dpo 3rd round of clomid and having no symptoms yet again and I had a temp dip so I think I'm out. I had an appointment with FS today and I've been prescribed another 3 rounds. If that doesn't work I have an appointment in april to go on the waiting list for IVF on the NHS. She said we could go private in the mean time and still keep our place on the list. She said it will cost between £3000-£4000, which is cheaper than I thought. I'm just praying it doesn't come to that!

Hi all

Hoping I can join in...
AFM- I am 21 and have done 5 rounds of clomid ( still have 2 days to go on cycle 5) and still no ovulation my DF and i have been ntnp for almost a year and actively trying for almost 8 months. I started on 50 mg clomid for days 2-6 and did that for 3 rounds and then was put onto 100 mg clomid for days 2-6. So far nothing I knew about my PCOS when i was 16 years old but didnt realise it was going to be this hard!!! i still have 3 repeats on my script for 100mg then i guess back to the gyno to see what they think AGAIN!! Oh well it will be worth it when we have our bundle of joy! I had lots and lots of pregnancy symptoms last month even vivid dreams of being pregnant but af showed her ugly head on the 01/01/12! great start to the new year!! NOT!! well i hope i can join in and take this ride together with you ladies as no one knows we are trying. baby dust to you all

Welcome to the newbies

9 more days until testing, had no smiley on my OPK today after 5 days of them, I guess the trigger shot has almost passed through my body 6 days on. There are still 2 lines on the OPK but the test line is much fainter than the control line. There is an extremely faint line on an internet cheapie pregnancy test this is probably to do with the remains of the trigger shot.

Staying at home and counting down the days is actually killing me, I really need to keep myself busy...symptoms so far, nausea, abdominal twinges like I am getting my AF, awful smell in my nose and tiredness....YAWN...off to have a siesta now

spent the morning throwing up. Probably because I went from 500mg of metformin to 1500mg. Agh. Well 4 days until I ovulate. Very excited to see the smiley! I'll start testing two or three times a day today as I should expect my surge soon (probably in two days).

 

[Monalissa]

Hi Ladies. Has anyone O'd later on 100 mgs of clomid vs 50 mgs? It's cd 13 and no sign of my surge. Last month on 50 mgs I got a positive OPK cd 12 and off clomid I usually get it around cd 10. Thx!

Sorry to be a pain. Anyone? Now CD 15 and no sign of a positive OPK. I guess I still "have" another 2 days to stay within ovulating 5-10 days after your last pill but this makes me nervous.

 

[Helena_]

your 15dpo? I'm going to assume you mean cd 15. It's possible that you'll ovulate later or even possible that you just missed your surge. I suggest temping. It's the.best way to know when you ovulated

 

[Helena_]

you probably already said this but, why were you put on clomid if you ovulate on your own? And if you ovulated on 50mg why were you put on 100mg?

 

[Monalissa]

Oops, I just corrected that! I meant CD 15. I doubt I missed it as I've been testing twice daily since CD 10. My progesterone was 7 when I was tested 7 dpo, so I was put on Clomid for a "stronger" ovulation. I've always gotten a LH surge, it doesn't necessarily mean you will ovulate from what I understand. My follies on 50 mgs were still pretty small 24 hours after my surge. A doc I had a second opinion with prescribed 100 mgs.

Thank you for responding!

 

[Monalissa]

Oh, as for temping as much as I would love to, I don't get enough uninterrupted sleep. We have a kitty who has a brain tumor and needs to get seizure meds in the middle of the night. DH and I take turns, but I am constantly being woken up by kitty to eat (he is on steroids which make him very hungry!).

 

[Helena_]

hope you get your surge soon!

I was just wondering, when do you ladies find yourself being effected by the side effects more? Is it during your entire cycle or is it for only a certain part of it?

I didn't have any side effects while taking it, just very thirsty. Random! I also had sharp pains for about an hour one night, which I think may have been ovulation. Not sure. Now I'm in my TWW and quite crampy, but it's too early for it to be anything, so I'm guessing it's also because of the Clomid. I think that's it though. I was lucky, but I'm also on a very low dose! Good luck!!

 

[Try Rocking]

I am on the same cycle days but taking 50mg
I'm in the 2ww as well. I haven't had anything other than some irritibility although lately I've been tired, had some heartburn the last 2 days, some diarrhea (ick), quite a bit of CM and sensitive boobs here and there. I've thought I was pregnant before and I wasn't but I'm trying to figure out what is from the clomid. It's just a bit frustrating, part of me wants to hope but I dont' want to get my hopes up.
