Hi ladies so this morning I took my last pill and felt pretty good all day except a little head ache late in the day, but then all of a sudden felt alot of pain in my right ovary and still alot of pain!!!! I just wanted to ask what could this possibly be I know it cant be ovulation already way to early so is it just the clomid just doing it thing? I just want to make sure everything is ok and that I shouldnt worry any one felt this before early on in the cycle please any advice please!!!!

yep thats clomid working its magic! I was panicked the first time I felt it too- you'll feel it for a couple days and then believe it or not it will be even sharper when you ov! good luck!

I had a similar experience and thought I was ovulating early...but I think it's just the weirdness of clomid. I had twinges n aches...but my temps are still low and my opk's are getting darker (not positive yet). I'm guessing I'll have a pos opk tomorrow and O on the 16th...which goes right along w/what my doc said about ovulating 5-10 days after last pill.

I have read that some women ovulate early on clomid though...so maybe make sure you get in some bd'ing to be on the safe side?

OMG Candi that sounds so positive!!

Kel - ill cross my fingers for u hun!!

Sarah - not long for you to get busy.!!



Im really disheartened.. I know my cycles are NEVER 28 days apart from last month (1st month clomid) and i should be due saturday..

SO convinced im pregnant OR im gonna have a really heavy AF from the clomid, as nipples hurt, so tired and hungry all the time and i just "feel" different, not symptom spotting cause theyre so bloody obvious..

Did a FRER yesterday - BFN, and same again today. BFN.

I know its too early but now i'm seriously seriously disheartened and dont think its gonna happen

 

[Jugs21]

Thanks Candifloss.

Your words are very reassuring. I've been so stressed about all this that I'm sure that alone will prevent me from getting pregnant. I've decided to stop charting and even doing OPK's as every -ve results leads to disappointment

Fingers crossed for your +ve BFP That would be wonderful!!

I'm still waiting for a bleed in order to start next round of clomid (on Day 20 currently), have started getting slight shooting pains in breasts so hopeful for a period at least!!

BabyBoyle, don't get disheartened. I know easier said than done, but remain positive. It's only cycle one and as candifloss said sometimes it takes a few cycles for the body to kick start again.

Keep trying everyone. Sending positive wishes to all!

I'm going to try and de-stress (if that is possible for a control freak like me!)

Love Jugs

The way we have to look at it girliez is even if we get a period-this is a step in the right direction!
We need 2 dust ourselves off and try again, all this stress we are putting on ourselves is only gonna hinder our chances!!
Positive thinking my lovely ones xxxx

 

[wantababy1]

I'm out this month ladies... Looks like I may have had 2 false pos because along with those came 2 neg pregnancy tests. I don't know what caused this to happen but I am so sad . Af is due for arrival tomorrow so all I can say is bring on the 2nd round and hopefully next month is my month. Wish me lots of luck ladies and lots of luck to all of you

 

[trying hard]

false positives are so so so so so rear. It is super unlikely that you would get two. I say if you got a positive even if you got negatives too you will have been or still are prego.

Wait and test again tomorrow.

Good luck honey, it looks to me like it may be your month.

Hey ladies, I hope an unprescribed clomid lady is welcome. Just a short background, the last normal (for me) ovulation I had was when I got pregnant with my angel baby in November 2011. I ovulate on my own already and have regular periods but after my m/c my ovulation became delayed. I've had one chemical since the miscarrage which was ironically the only cycle since my m/c where I ovulated on cd 18.

I decided to do u/p clomid because my insurance doesn't cover fertility meds and I refused to pay more when I could order from a reputable pharmacy unprescribed. I hope know one dislikes me because I am not in any way advocating this but hey it is what it is. Overseas clomid is given OTC.

So the plan is to take 25mg, from cd 3 to 7. I am very excited and I hope it gives me the boost I need. I've already checked out the brand that I got and they are on the up and up.

The one thing I am struggling with is if 25mg is enough. My SO wants me to take 50mg because he wants twins but I do not want twins, just 1 healthy baby. Hopefully you guys can give me some advice. 25 or 50mg?

 

[CheerCoach]

Not sure if you are aware or not...but if your ob writes the prescription for you I believe you can get it at Walmart for $4 or $5. A few other places have similar deals...just fyi if you didn't already know.

I read quite a bit of negative stuff about u/p clomid on another site. If I were in your shoes I think I'd go with the most common (seems to me that it's 50mg cd 5-9). From what I understand if you react negatively to clomid you could hurt future chances of conceiving. I'm not preaching, what you decide to do is your choice...just letting you know what I read.

The hyperovulation on clomid seems so unpredictable...I've read women on 25mg have hyperovulated and women on 200mg have a single mature folicle. In addition, the later you start (ie cd5) is supposed to produce more mature folicles which are potentially better quality for fertilization. Again those are things I've read...I think the safest route is going to your ob/gyn but I'm not judging/preaching/etc...just be careful

Whatever you decide I hope it works out and you get your sticky soon.

I also considered u/p clomid but ultimately talked to my ob who ran some blood work then gave me the prescription.

Hi ladies, how is everyone feeling today?

I woke up early, getting nervous for my cd13 scan today to see if the clomid is working. They are ready to give me a trigger shot if they need to as well, so we'll see. Hoping for the best!

 

[CandiFloss]

Good luck CAValleygirl!!

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site but I hope to get some help and support.
My DH and I have been TTC for over a year now with no results.
His tests came out normal and mine as well. I have regular period and never had any problems. I also think I ovulate regularly on day 14 or 15 (I can feel little pain when it happens and I also use ovulation tests).
Last month I ovulated on my left side on my own. Didn't get pregnant so my doctor decided to put me on clomid.
This is my first month. I took 50mgh on cd 5 to 9. I had first ultrasound on cd11; results- 'nothing on the right side and little something on the left'. Had to come back for another ultrasound on cd13. This time doctor (it was a different person) said I have a cyst on my left ovary and it is over 2cm. She was really surprised that they didn't see anything two days earlier.
This made me really upset as I never had any problems before. I think that Clomid messed up my system. Going for another ultrasound tomorrow cd16 and I don'y know what is next.
So disappointing

Sorry for my English (have been living in US only 5 years).
All the best for everybody and please let me know if you have any advise or have been in similar situation

I am sorry to hear that. From what I read Clomid can certainly cause Cysts, that is why it is prescribed. I am in a similar situation. I am regular, I ovulate on my own, DH's SA is all good. I do however have low progesterone. They put me on 50 mg day 3-7 we conceived on cycle 2 only to loose baby at 5w6d.

I hope everything works out for you, and you find your success

Hi ladies,
I was wanting to join this thread as I started round 1 of Clomid yesterday and could use the advice/support of others taking it. I just started testing with a new doctor this week as DH and I have been ttc for over a year now. She is fantastic and is willing to be aggressive with our mission to have a baby. She started me on 100mg of Clomid this week even though judging by my cycles I think I am ovulating on my own. Do side effects get stronger with higher doses? I am nervous that I'll turn to Dr. Jeckyll/ Mr Hyde at any moment

I also went in for an HSG yesterday where we found out I have a blocked left tube AND got a phone call from doc last night that my thyroid is at 4.4 so they'd like to get that down with Synthroid. Thus far it's been a bit of a rough week although I guess I'm happy to be getting this all out of the way at once, just can't help getting scared

Hello all, May I join the club??
A little bit about my background. I have a son he is turning 6yrs old in April. My ex and I had infertility problems and it took us 8 long years to conceive my DS. I have a new boyfriend and we are ready to start a new family. 8 month ago I was diagnose with cervical cancer stage 1,my Dr did a leep for the cervical cancer and I had surgery for 4 fibroids (he did it robotic, which was like a cesarean in my uterus and only 4 little cut in my belly) 6 months has had passed and I still having issues with my periods (super heavy periods) TMI (sorry) I was on bc for 3 month and messed up my periods, my dr did some blood test and came out that I have low progesterone and I do not ovulate on my own he puts me on clomid 3-7 (50mg) then estradiol for 8-12, day 13 a ultrasound then same day trigger injection (ouch, does it hurt?) then from 17-28 prometrivol. Does anyone have an idea why I have to use estradiol and prometrivol? Last time when I was put in clomid (many many years ago) I only used clomid, nothing else at that time. Thanks in advance
