Hi lovely ladies!

I'm new to this forum and am loving the support you girls are offering.

DH and I are currently TTC #2. I have a beautiful baby girl (14 months almost) who was conceived with clomid (4th cycle, 50mg) back in March 2010.

I finished my first round of Clomid (50mg) a few days ago and the scan today showed that a cyst has developed instead of a follicle!

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this experience?? I had no problems with clomid when I took it a couple of years ago.

thanks! The doctor really put me and ease when she laughed when I told her how late I was. I would hate the idea of missing a month of ttc, but ultimately it's the best idea. I don't have many symptoms (little things, but I want the morning sickness to put me at ease).

I am WILLING you to start throwing up!!

You'll be fine hun.

everyone...I've been stalking this thread for a few weeks now and guess I should finally introduce myself

I'm Christey...currently TTC my 4th and final baby. I have 2 older daughters (18 & 16) and a 9 month old daughter. My husband and I have been together almost 21 years and were content w/our 2 daughters when I suddenly fell pregnant in 09...that pregnancy was diagnosed ectopic for which I was treated with methotrexate. We TTC for 16 months after that before getting our . Our lil one was born 2 months premature but is healthy happy and doing perfect! My OB gave us the go ahead to TTC again when Mackenzie was 2 months.

This is our 7th cycle of TTC and 1st on clomid. I started clomid cd3 and am currently on cd 26 but feel like AF is on her way I wasn't monitored so unsure if I ovulated. We're doing 3 cycles on 50mg unmonitored before doing further testing. I feel that if I start AF I will ask my ob to start monitoring w/blood draws and ultrasounds as the wait is driving me crazy.

I've loved reading the success stories and often cry for you ladies when the witch shows up. So, here to tons of 's all around!

Welcome Christey. You're in good company.


AFM....AF finally turned up this morning, I am fine about it, I had zero pregnancy symptoms and am relieved that the Clomid didn't lengthen my cycle to an elephant's....29 days is ok...and next cycle, I won't test til CD30, will save me a fortune on tests and keep my blood pressure down!!

Will take my first Clomid pill tomorrow, here we go again, at least I didn't get any side effects last time, so FXd I still don't!!

Love to you all and to those of you still to test!! xxx

Hey heavenly, sorry af showed but on to cycle 2!!!

I'm on cd22 and boobs have started to hurt. Very slight creamy/sticky cm too. These are usually my signs that af will come but then again I've had no sore boobs pre af yet bfn!

Other than that I was super tired because of the cold snap here in the uk and very little sleep. But after 7hrs of slumber last night I'm feeling great! Trying to stay relaxed and positive but it's tough.

Lisa- how are you doing?

Hi ladies! This is my first month on 50mg Clomid. I took by CD9 pill yesterday so I'm done with the pils now for the month. This morning my CBFM showed a rise to "medium" fertility which is about 5 days earlier than normal. Does anyone know if Clomid impacts CBFM results? I'm considering just buying OPKs while taking Clomid and skipping the CBFM but was curious if anyone knew anything on this! Thanks!!!

Hi there, I have just finished my first cycle on Clomid and I use a CBFM. I peaked on CD13/14, which is fairly normal for me but Clomid did lengthen my cycle to 29 days, so I have heard it can have a little play around with you!

Hi Ladies,

I am new to this site and forum. My husband and I have been ttc 21 months. I have never been pregnant or even thought I was pregnant. I am on my 4th round of clomid 150mg(3-7)...I am 4dpo. I have 2 mature follies, but this isn't the first time that has happened. I also take metformin to help with my pcos symptoms. I have enjoyed reading your thread and felt like this was a good enough time as any to join a support system. I am really hoping that this is my month since my doctor dumped me and I will be referred to RM, which of course my insurance doesn't cover.

I am sending baby dust to all of you!

 

[fayewest]

Hi ladies,

Hope you are all well and dont mind me joining ... I have just started my 3rd cycle of Clomid, I got pregnant on my 2nd, but lost the baby at 8 weeks ;0( . I am desperate for a baby, arent we all ... My god I hope it happens soon, I am loosing the plot here.

Are people finding that they ovulate later on clomid? x

 

[kel21]

Wow! Lots of new people! Welcome Rachel77, Mama d, abrock and fayewest!

Heavenly, sorry about the big bad Fxd for next month!

Re: opk's on clomid:

I took clomid 50mg on days 3-7. I got a positive opk on cd12 AND cd16. However, I had some spotting and cramps on cd22-24, so now I really think that's when I ovulated after all... Who knows with clomid? Maybe it was stress that kept pushing it off?

Either way I'm no on cd33' which I think is 11 dpo... I'll keep you posted!

Thank you ladies for the kind welcomes Hi to all the other newbies to this thread!

I had been so hopeful for this cycle but my BBT dropped substantially this morning. I am new to doing the BBT chart so I dunno for sure. But I went from 98.1 yesterday morning to 97.5 this morning...not sure what my coverline was as 1. my cycle seems screwy on clomid 2. I didn't start temping until cd 6 and 3. CD 6-12 were a bit wonky bbt-wise..in my opinion. I guess I will know for sure in a few days.

I'd test but I just can't obsessively start at a single pink line again today I could obsessively stare at 2 pink lines though.

Where are each of you in your cycle? Lots of BabyDust all around!

So many new people Welcome cheercoach, Rachel77, Mama d, abrock and fayewest.

I just had my Dr. appointment and doc thinks I ovulated based on the ultrasound. I guess the OPK didn't work this month then. I'm waiting for the nurse to call me back with my progesterone level to see if that supports ovulation. And then wait and see
The doc also said that next cycle I have to decide if I want to do clomid for one more round (which would be the last because he doesn't recommend more than 4) or if I want to move on to injectables. I so hope that it doesn't have to come to that but I'm also slowly preparing myself for the idea. It's my cd21 so I have at least 5 more days to decide.

fxd that this will be your cycle!

I totally agree. First half of the cycle I'm obsessed with getting a smiley face from the OPK and second half I'm obsessed with hoping for a bfp. That's why they call it cycle I guess, the waiting and hoping never ends... ;-)

 

[kel21]

Maybe if I had a job outside of the house it wouldn't obsess so much! All I do is sit on computer looking at this stuff! And now trying to quit smoking. Clomid made me hungry all the time and now no cigs, all I do is sit and eat. Gotta stop! Help! Ok, I'm better. Sorry about that! Little rant. Have started exercising though. Just need a BFP, then all will be well!

 

[zimmy]

Omg, I know how you feel. In fact, I just came back from the kitchen. I have gained 5pounds on Clomid! Aaaaghhhh - BFP soon please! lol

 

[kel21]

lol

 

[trying hard]

first of all welcome to the group Rachel, fayewast, abrok, mumad and cheercoach, may your stay here be a short one.

Heavenly

Sorry hun Hope you are ok. At least you know the clomid did its job so chances are you will conceive soon.


MK8 wishing you lots of I seem to get pregnancy symptoms every month on clomid. It is happening again and I'm trying to ignore them best I can. I'm not going to test this month. If it happens I will know soon enough. And if not then I will know even sooner. I am currently 9DPO so will wait until at least 14DPO this time round. GL hun hoping this is your month.

Good luck CAVally. not too much longer to wait now

Kal it seems us LTTTCers are always waiting for something lol. Time to start getting busy with it teehehe

Zimmy and Kal.... ME TOO even if I don't get pregnant I'm going to end up with a belly. Oops.
