clomid club

[owl35]

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

mk8, good luck anyway - you never know . Does your doc allow you more than 4 cycles on clomid?

 

[owl35]

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!

Hey abrock, so sorry to hear that your husband has to work so far away from you! I can't imagine how frustrating and crushing this must be for you.
I have never heard of Femara. My doc only gave me two more options after my 4th cycle of clomid fails: Injections or IVF. Maybe I should ask him about Femara. So you heard it has good success rates if clomid fails?

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!!

omg I am SO constipated right now... I feel so bloated. ugh. this is the worst side effect! are you taking anything for it?

I swear by Miralax! I'm an old lady at heart!

 

[Euronova]

I had constipation. It's the progesterone produced by your corpus luteum after O. All the fibre powders and stuff did not work on me. So ended up having to use micralax when it's been too long.

 

[CAValleygirl]

Owl - I worked out this morning and got a green juice (kale, carrot, spinach, lemon, orange, apple). Worked like a charm LOL

 

[mrsjennyg]

i've been using fiber powder and it hasn't done a thing! ugh it's so uncomfortable and almost painful with the gas pains. i'm going to have to find the miralax!

 

[abrock]

Owl-I have heard good things about Femara. It is definitely worth a try! When I go back to the Dr. in April I am definitely requesting to try it at least for a while.

I just woke up to see that the showed her ugly faceUrgh!
I was really hoping Clomid would have worked.

I wish all of you ladies the best of luck and lots of baby dust!

Oh Abrock, I am so sorry!

So I have been having cramping since 2dpo and I am now 5 dpo. The cramping was in both ovaries and then it started switching off from one to the other. What is going on here??? I have been urinating like crazy, and every morning at 5 on the dot I wake up to go to pee and I never had to wake up out of my sleep to go pee.... I am so gassy and kind of irritated and I can't figure out why..lol. It kinda reminds me of pregnancy symptoms but I am only 5dpo to early for those if I was to be pregnant(which I doubt I am cause with my luck that would be to easy!! Lol) has anyone experienced these same symptoms at 5 dpo???

 

[CheerCoach]

Abrock~ sorry Hope you get a suprise before seeing the doc in April!

Want a baby~ I don't recall having those type of symptoms myself...but maybe you are experiencing hyperovulation? I read somewhere that when women hyperovulate it can happen up to a week apart...so if you O'd 5 days ago you could still O again if you had another mature follie? Anywhich way my fingers are crossed for you!

Thank you cheercoach! If I am o-ing again that is good because it just doubles my chances... Guess I will just continue to just in case.. Still have about 6-8 days before af is due so it can't hurt nothing.. Good luck to you as well

Hey girliez!

Was hoping some1 could shed some advice...I recently had my day 23 Progesterone blood test results back and they were 57!!!!!
I understand that anything above 40 when you are on Clomid (Which I am) is a sign of Ovulation??

Does this indicate wot day I ovulated?? My last cycle was 32 days so my FS suggested going in a little later than the standard day 21 for my blood to be taken??

I have had a low back ache for the past week,not sure if this has any relevance or is just a sign of my period coming??

Any answers would be much appreciated xx Thanku xx

Congrats on the great number!! Anything over 10 or 15 indicates that you most likely ovulated. A normal woman's average number I believe is 30. With clomid I think they really like it when you get over 30, so your's is a great number!!

I just really don't wanna get my hopes up!
I want the 2ww to be over hehe!

Hi all,

I took my first round of clomid on CD 2-6 this month after inducing a period with norethisterone (irregular periods due to PCOS).
I tested daily with opk from CD9 and got a positive OPK on CD 10. I retested in the evening to be sure and it was negative I got a temperature shift following this but am still not sure if I ovulated. I had crampy back and pelvic pain for 3-4 days after this. I continued to use opks incase I had a false +ve initially and all have been -ve!

I am now on CD 16 and very confused :s I am not having any other symptoms such as breast tenderness etc.

Anyone else ovulated as early as CD10. Please help.

Thanks

Baby dust to all, Jugs xx
