Hi ladies, any room for another? i am on my 4th round of clomid, 50mg the first 3 cycles and 100mg this time round. first two cycles no ovulation but third time it worked but the docs have still increased it, feeling as rough as i did when i first started it which i thought i would escape with already being on the 50mg but nooooooooooooo!!! all the symptoms are back with a vengance, my hubby calls the mood swings "a clomood"!!
i have PCOS as well as many other weird and wonderful illnesses, Graves disease, MS etc, here is a bit of my history, **UPSETTING, DO NOT READ IF OFFENDED**
hubby and i have been trying for a baby for 7 years now and its been a rough road, we lost 16 angels all between 8-12weeks one after the other last m/c in feb 2008, we then got caught again and got to 10 weeks before i collapsed, the baby was in my tube, still growing so needless to say i lost my angel and my tube also. that was august 2008, in october i went for a HSG and found out christmas day 2008 we were expecting. i had a very very difficult pregnancy, between the finding out i had the autoimmune disorder that makes my own body reject the fetus as it sees it as a disease to the chronic sickness which landed me in hospital with ketoacidosis. then came the SPD, i was in a wheelchair by 18weeks it was that bad lol, couldn't take the weight of me and my huge bump i was 8 stone but by 18 weeks i was the size of a fullterm pregnancy, i didnt care though lol, after waiting for so long it was worth the pain, when i got to 26 weeks i began in a lot of pain, early labour they thought but i was ok, just go home take it easy, by this point i was on weekly appointments with the consultant and supposed to be given a detailed scan every other week with a basic one the week inbetween, so every week was the same, i complained about the pain and asked for baby to be delivered, they sent me home telling me i was paranoid. this went on for 6 weeks and then they booked me in for my c-section which was in two weeks time, i went for my scan but once again the staff were not there either off or whatever so i was only given a basic scan, went to antenatal, again complained of my daughter not moving as she should be, i wanted her delivered, she was having weird freaky movements, again not even touched and told go home as i was being "neurotic", as i was leaving my daughter had a huge seizure and her heart stopped, she died not ten mins after i left the doctor who told me everything was ok, i was still in the hospital.
that was 15th july i gave birth to our much wanted loved and cherished sleeping angel Lilly-Maye on 18th july, she died from cord round her neck 3 times tight, cord torsion, cord compression, hypercoiling, full and complete body wrap and 2 true knots. her neck broke on the way out as she ad no give on the cord and as i was pushing her placenta/cord was being ripped away from me inside, my hubby delivered her as the midwife fell apart and couldn't, it was a mess, but she was absolutely perfect.
since i have had Lilly-Maye i haven't ovulated properly at all, my af has gone up the wall and i have had to battle with my doctors that there is such a condition as PCOS, i live in the back of beyond and they don't agree with the methods of clomid and such like. so i am now on my 4th round now 100mg and have never been checked at all whilst i have been on clomid. no scans no appointments nothing so looking for support, and saw your clomid club.
i hope i am ok to join you here
Sam
