clomid club

[jm823]

Hi everyone I stumbled across this forum and could use some support. I am losing hope with clomid 50 mg I am on round 4 and feeling discouraged! I had bw 1st round and I did ovulate... what round is everyone on?

 

[hope0678]

This is my first round this time (i took clomid before my son 6 years ago but he was conceived naturally)

 

[trying hard]

jm823 I'm round 4 too

 

[momwannabe81]

Round 3 for me

 

[Jugs21]

Hi jm823, I'm on round 1 but hoping to start round 2 once comes.

Misscoach, just wait another few days before taking prometrium/provera. My doc said sometimes the cycle is 35 days so hopefully will come without using any meds. If not, then take it. I'll probably do the same if I get to day 35!

Anyone else HATE this waiting game. I feel like this has been the LONGEST month of my life. I'm just counting down the days 1 by 1.

Kel21, goodluck hun.

jugs i'm the same, it feel sooo longggg.. the dayss are passing sooo slowwww

 

[Afamilygal]

I agree Jugs and Hope- SO slow! so frustrating! but if you are on vacation- the time just FLIES by. jeez.. Staying busy really helps but I find myself thinking about it all the time so there is no escape.. how is everyone feeling so far?

I've calmed down a little compared to 2 weeks ago. I was going insane checking OPKs, charting, reading all possible forums on the internet.

DH was finding it difficult too so told me to chill out. I don't think I've quite 'chilled out' but am a lot calmer than before!

I think next cycle im not going to chart or do the opks, will just every other day and hope for the best.

I'm also considering metformin. Heard success is better on both clomid and metformin. But I'm not overweight so don't know if it'll help much.

If anyone has any experience with it let me know pleeeaaase.

Thanks girls. tick tock...tick tock

I know, on weekedns times flies... but oh well thats part of life

I'm feeling weird lol, yesterday night I have some cramps, like menstrual cramps, I'm hoping thats clomid doing what it supoosed to do. otherwise I have no idea

 

[holdinghope99]

Hi ladies! Well generally I just sit back and kind of read the forum and comment here or there...

For started the Metformin isnt only for overweight people. it helps with insulin resistance which a lot of people suffer from. its is also perscribed as a diabetes medication so apparently it has multiple things it helps with lol

So for me I am now starting my third cycle of Clomid. We have been trying for over a year and doctor wanted to start Clomid as we discovered I do not ovulate on my own! What fun that is!! So pretty much we had over a year of waited time!! So my first two cycles she had me on 50mg of Clomid and just this cycle she up'd me to 100mg because when she did my BW she said I did not ovulate and they wanted me to try one more month at the same dosage and it still didnt work but I still managed to get AF on day 29. Wierd how my body is working. So I had to have my bloodwork done on day 21 again this month and if the numbers arent as high as she wants them to be she will be uping me to 150mg. Seems like so much but at the same time I just want my body to work so I can finally get the pregnancy we have been trying for for sooooo long!!

Hoping the sideeffects arent too bad on the higher dose. only thing i got on the lower dose was hot flashes a few times and they only lasted like 10-15 minutes. and AF is very heavy when she visits which i am not used to because I have always had such a light cycle!! Maybe its a sign!! lol

Well hope we all get what we are trying for sooner than later!!!

Jugs2 you are sooooooooooooo right and i hate the waiting game. so im gonna wait until sunday or monday if i dont see it i will def go back to my Dr. so he can give me something to bring it. right now i am way too confused of not seing my period ans having pain on my nipples.

I have a question though when the DR give you 100mg do you have to take two 50mg everyday for the 5 days?

I agree about how the cycles feel so long I think this one has been the worst so far and I think its that way for me since it's our last attempt. I can't help but feel hopeless right now. I go back and forth, one minute feeling like if I get a bfn I'll be okay with it and just move on....then I switch back to...well maybe another cycle after this one. In my heart I think it would be better to stop trying. *sigh*

I know how disheartening it is when a cycle isn't successful, but I really encourage everyone here to keep positive! haha, I say that when I'm so negative right now...but I do mean it, It took us 16 months to conceive Mackenzie...it was a very rough journey but so worth it! I also know a few women from a local group I belong to who conceived after years...failed IUI's, failed IVF's and then sudden unexpected pregnancy. In fact one of the mom's ended up adopting 2 children and the day after they got the 2nd one she found out she was pregnant

for you all, in the event that I don't conceive I'll have to force myself to really give in...and I doubt I'll visit the boards (don't wanna go anymore crazy)...but I'll hope for each of you to get your lil miracles!

Okay, crazy clomid woman here...lol lotsa babydust for everyone

CheerCoach dont give up yet, i feel the same way too now that my husband is back home from deployment i wanted to stay positive and give it a second try, and now that his getting out this week he decided that he was gonna drive trucks so that means i wont get to see him often. right now we gonna start the 3rd round once AF show her face and if nothing happen by March im gonna take a break because I dont wanna hold my husband back from going after his dream. although he desparately want a baby he also want to start a civilian job right after he get out of the service.
so im keeping my fingers crossed for you and me

Hi gals, Just thought I would stop in and give an update on how my cycle has been. The last time I posted I was freaking out cause I was in alot of pain but like you guys said must have been my follies growning or something, but anyway I have been testing like its going to be my last pee ever and last cycle I had a positive opk on CD 17 so figured it would be about the same this month but my DH husband made a guess that I would O on CD 15 which last night I started to feel the PAIN lol and so we bd this morning before he went to work at 5am so I just tested and the line is darker just not quite a positive just yet I will test agian tonight to see if it has changed but of course there will be alot of in the house the next few days! Well hope everyone luck this month and lost of BFP's hopefully the next time I post it wil be a pic of my first ever BFP lost of baby dust to all of you ladies and congrats to all the BFP's

 

[hope0678]

question I'm not ovulating on my own, so I took clomid 50mg 3-7cd, when I suppose to ovulate? I'm thinking on using OPK's again this month to see if I'll get the positive, last month I used it but never ovulated.

***fixed***

 

[hope0678]

good luck

MissCoach~ ah thank you. Hubby and I decided to finish this cycle and what ever it brings is what we get The reason behind it is that our oldest daughter just found out she was pregnant. I actually got the news the day of my last clomid pill. Hubby and I talked about it and figured since I suffered through clomid we might as well give it a go...lol. If it doesn't happen I'll be okay...after all I have a grandchild on the way...so weird. Our older daughters are almost 19 and almost 17...then we had a suprise pregnancy in 09...it wasn't til then that I realized I wanted more. We miscarried and then began ttc...finally got Kenz and wanted to conceive again so that she'd grow up w/a sibling. Now we figure if she grows up as an only child that's okay Of course she won't be an only child but she'd grow up that way as our 17 year old leaves for college next fall. The 19 yr old is in college and moving to be w/her fiance. He's also in the military.

And...thank your hubby for his service! I hope this cycle brings your ! My fingers are crossed for you & me too!

I actually tested...even though I promised myself I wouldn't...and unless I'm hallucinating I see a super super faint line...the kind you have to squint to see...lol. At most I'm only 7dpo so I'm figuring it's evap..but testing again in the am!

 

[CheerCoach]

Hope...my doc said 5-9 days after last pill...I read online they say 5-10 days after last pill...lol so I'd guess you'll O between cd10 and cd 15. Can I ask why you only took clomid for 3 days? I've never seen that before, thought you were supposed to take it for 5 days..?

Hope you O on time and get a !
