clomid club

[wantababy1]

I'm out for this round Off to my last round of clomid #4. I am so mad, sad, disappointed and angry. I feel hopeless. Has anyone of you ever taken a one month break from clomid before taking it again? I feel like I m ready for a break for one cycle where I don't have to get monitored, no OPKs and no schedule...

Sorry to hear that... Dont lose hope it will happen for all of us eventually... Keep at it and dont let the wicked witch(af) defeat you. We are all stronger than that and thats why we are taking clomid because we didnt let the devil of infertility defeat us... Hang in there!

I'm so sorry, Owl. Did you ovulate at least? Has your husband done a SA?

I don't see why you can't take a month off of clomid, or just a month off in general, and start back up.

Thank you CAvalleygirl. I had a really good cycle this time. 3 follies over 20mm and I ovulated according to the doc. Even my progesterone was over 40 and that was a record too. I got my hopes up to high again after hearing all those good news I guess.
My hubby got checked out as well and all is very good on his part My doc just told me that there is absolutely no harm in taking a month off and I think I will do it.

Thank you wantababy I think I'll let the wicked witch defeat me for the upcoming cycle and take a break. I'll try my last round in March and hope for the best Good luck and babydust to all of you in the meantime

That's good news but yes, also very frustrating

Take a month off - it will be good for your sanity

Well, part way through my no-charting month - so far so good I'm off to Panama tomorrow for 2 weeks AF is due the day I return, so hoping to conceive in Central America! Keep your fingers crossed for me please...
for all of you!!!!!!!

Hey Owl, I'm in the same boat, cycle three of clomid didn't do anything except shorten my cycle by a day! I'm on 4th round now and did wonder whether it was worth taking a break as dh and I won't be able to bd days 9-12 and I get my positive on day 13 normally. But I popped a pill yesterday anyway! So if it's a bust, it's a bust. Sigh

I'm curious if anyone gets overly weepy on clomid? Last cycle I was an emotional roller coaster but this cycle I keep crying...like at stupid commercials, anything relating to babies, my own baby..etc. If I think something is cute somehow I start crying about it! If something is sad...oh geez! I don't much care for all these tears

Yes! crying at everything and also super constipated this time around! Ugh like I really need to be feeling fat now on top of everything else!!

 

[CheerCoach]

Funny the things we will go through for babies, huh? I know that once I see that none of these pesky tears, 's..etc will mean a thing, but right now they kinda suck.

 

[kel21]

I have been really weepy too! Stinky clomid!

 

[zimmy]

I've been really mean this round! Would rather be weepy I think - Hard to get DH in the mood when I'm yelling at him, LOL!!

A little TMI - My first 2 rounds I had diarrhea, next 2 constipation. Much prefer constipation hahaha

See you in 2 weeks girls! xo

 

[trying hard]

Zimmy, I hope you have a great holiday and come home to an even better time.

I get moody too, I feel myself being irrational but I just cant stop the words from coming out of my mouth. I don't yell I say spite-full things instead. (poor Sam)

He knows its the drugs but when it is for months and months on end I feel so sorry for him. I have to bite my tongue around bed time big time!

Have fun Zimmy!!!
Sending you lots and lots of and luck!

Ah...poor hubbies! I'd feel bad for mine except he works out of town 8-9 days at a time....both last cycle and this cycle he's been fortunate enough to miss my clomid days. Luckily this cycle he'll be home cd 15-25 and I should O between cd 17 and 21 I sure hope I'm not moody/weepy when he gets home.

hello ladies hope you all doing well today.
I have a question, i have PCOS so it really haed for me to use the opk's. but yesterday i tested i had a real dark line similar to the reference line, just now i tested again i had a very faint line. so what is that suppoded to mean.
also for the past 2 or 3 days have been feeling pretty sore down there, painful intercourse, have any of you lovely ladies experience this before?

some opk brands have a pos if the line is at least as dark as the control or darker. So if yours is one of those, it sounds like a pos! And just this cycle I had painful intercourse before ov too! Maybe a clomid thing for some women?

oh Lord did you find out if you ov yet.... but yeah I was feeling sore for a couple of days and today too.

 

[momwannabe81]

I had the same feelings around O time

Owl...I am in the same boat as you. I am sorry to hear about this month. I have a day to three days left to wait to confirm af. Unfortunately this is my final cycle of clomid so to say I am bummed is definitely an understatement. To top off my week, my husband (works for railroad) just got bumped 4 1/2 hrs away M-F! It has been a very frustrating/crushing cycle. I will be taking a couple months off. I have switched dr.'s and will hopefully have better results with this new dr. It makes such a difference if they actually care a little. lol. I am going to ask to be put on Femara. My sister was on it for a short while. It is very similiar to Clomid with less side effects. I have also read that it works well for women when clomid fails.
Baby Dust to all!
