clomid club

[trying hard]

Welcome to the group to all the new people.

First of all Crazycoolmum... I so understand why you decided to do that, desperation for a baby makes us do crazy things. You are right in that lots of people are just given it like candy and it will probably be fine...Did you even ask your doc to prescribe it for you? I'm not judging just asking out of interest. Cheer coach is right that clomid is very cheep. Each month for me is a couple dollars for the pills and $50 for the testing that goes along with it. (over here you need to be monitored by bloods at least)

If you are worried about multiples I would take them days 5 to 9 and start with 50gm. 25mg is a really low dose, almost everybody starts at 50mg

I sincerely hope others here understand why you doing this. (I considered it myself) Luckily I managed to change doctors to someone willing to give it to me.

Good luck honey.


cavallygirl Good luck hun, my day 13 bloods will be done on Monday

Lucynia sorry to hear about the cyst... hopefully they can fix you up quickly so you can get back to it.


Maurie How are you holding up honey?


Missy I have had some real clomid crazy months but some not so bad. Last month I was all weepy one minute then crazy angry the next complete jeckyell/Hyde thing going on but this month I have been real good, no clomid crazies at all. I don't know if the dose really matters as I have been on 50mg the whole 4 months and from what others have said when they change dose. One tube should still be ok on clomid At least now they know what has been your problem and can now fix it

Hope Good luck hun, can't really help with your questions but I'm guessing your doc is just covering as many bases as possable. Sounds like you have a through doctor. Yay you.

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

I am really sorry to hear that
How lonh have you been ttc begore you got pregnant?
All the best for you. Stay strong!

Lots and lots of newbies welcome and hope your stays are all short n sweet missing all my old girls so haven't listed in a while think I joined this club in 2010 and still no miracle well I'm cd 29 and not sure wether to test or not cycle normally between 28-35 days plz let it b time soon xxx

 

[mrphyemma]

Hi Winston!! I'm still lurking but like yourself don't post much as all the old gang seem to have moved on.
Ladies, I'm CD11 on my last clomid cycle, praying the last one brings me my miracle. I had high hopes and expectations when I was prescribed clomid. I thought it was a wonder drug and I'd be preggers with triplets within a month. No such luck. I did fall pregnant on cycle 7 but sadly lost my baby at around 8 weeks. That was over a year ago now and no BFP since. Will have to rely on a natural miracle BFP if this one isn't my lucky month.

Winston....................TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck hun, it's high time you had that BFP. xx

Hello all
I wanna say welcome to all the newbies and goodluck.
I took clomid on the 25 of jan witch was on the 3rd day of my cycle and it only lasted 3 days. I guess its because I had to take prometrium to bring on a period to start the clomid. Anyways I took clomid day 3 on the 25th through the 29, now im just waiting to AF come by its self because I don't feel like the clomid work. I don't know if I ovulated or not . I didn't wanna i'll because I have pcos so I didn't want to spend money on it. Now im on day 27 of my cycle and 20 days after clomid. I have DR appointment on Monday just hoping that at come so he can start me on my 2nd round
Again good luck to u all and especially the newbies.

Hello,

Hoping I can join this thread. I have just started my 3rd cycle of clomid 100mg. I did not ovulate on 50 but did on 100 so they are keeping me at 100, Thank goodness because my poor hubby is beside himself with my mood swings I had two miscariages last year one at 5 weeks and one at 14 weeks. I conceived my daughter soon to be four on Clomid. I have PCOS and Clomid is the only way I ovulate. It took me a year to be confortable with trying again so praying for a sticky bean this time.

 

[CAValleygirl]

Hi to all the newbies...

Jammers, I too didn't ovulate on 50mg, but 100 mg seems to be working for me (on my 2nd cycle now). Did you get monitored during your cycle last month? Will you be going in for scans this month to better time things?

Sorry about your losses FX'd for a bfp that sticks!!

 

[Jammers]

Cavalleygirl,

I went in for a 21 day progesterone test on my last two cycles. On my third pill of five today and will go in for another test on day 21 if I dont get pregnant this month we will be starting scans next cycle. This is the first month I am using OPT's and am unsure when to start testing does anyone know?

 

[CAValleygirl]

I usually start testing for ovulation on cd10 or 11

 

[Jammers]

Thank you valley girl

Even my dr was surprised and said it is weird that cyst was there three days ago and now she can not see it!!
Hoping for the best and going for follow up ultrasound tomorrow cd18.

Baby dust to all of us

 

[filipenko32]

Hi there, just wondering if anyone on here is taking clomid to produce more than one egg to up chances of normal egg implanting? I've had 4 mc and whilst one was a normal loss one was chromosomally abnormal. Since I miscarry anyway I just wanted to try to rule out an abnormal loss again. Or does anyone know any stories of anyone who ovulates anyway and took clomid for the same reasons? Thanks

 

[momwannabe81]

here goes to cycle 3 clomid was so hoping this would be it

 

[kel21]

Still waiting on the witch! Should have started fri or sat. Had af symptoms friday (slightly crampy which I usually get right before or after I start, and my usual rages!) Now nothing. No pregnancy symptoms, no af symptoms, nothing! And all BFN!!!! I hate this, guess clomid is going to make my cycle longer! Right now I am either 15 dpo (going off of opk) or 13 dpo going off of o pains.

 

[wantababy1]

Hey ladies! How are you guys doing? Went to my dr appt today and got another urine test and it was neg, but still no af!!!! My dr wouldn't do a blood test cuz she says she just wants to wait it out, is she serious I am pulling my hair out wondering what's going on. I just wish af will come already if that's what's going to happen. It's only my first round so hope isn't completely gone for me yet. I think I will try robitussin and preseed. I have a question. How do I take the robitussin with the clomid? I guess round 2 here I come, eventually.

 

[wantababy1]

Af finally showed up! I don't know whether to or . I guess the best part is knowing I'm on to my second round and I am hoping for success this time. Lots of baby dust to all of the ladies still waiting for their bfp and also to myself....

 

[35_Smiling]

good for you wantababy1 i would be happy and sad myself but at least it showing you are ovulating and you can ttc again. good luck and all the best

Winston love i guess no news is bad news, so you must have 'ed by now. good luck to you too hun and all the best!
