clomid club

[babyloulou]

Laura- well I have all the usual "clomid" symptoms/side effects! I am bloated, constipated and REALLY moody! But that's just the clomid. No I don't feel hopeful at all Laura- feel like I am just waiting for this cycle to end so I can start again!! How's you and the bump? xxx

Megs- that is DEFINITELY a BFP!! xxx (and please can you send the 'magic' OPKs my way )

Beth- Thanks- how are you and the peanut? xx

Rudeollie- I am so sorry love! I wouldn't have gone on about mine if I had thought that- I honestly thought yours would be fine! Are they doubling you to 100mg now?

Hedge-- how are you today?

mommy2skie Welcome xxx

Tyson- your line getting lighter will mean absolutely nothing!! It'll just be a crapper test (less dye) or diluted wee! Try not to worry- I think this is your BFP girl!

Nursekel- thanks, but I don't feel hopeful this cycle! How are you?

Vickylou- don't give up yet- 9dpo is early xxx

Hope I haven't forgot anyone xxx

 

[Rudeollie]

Hi Loulou. Its ok hun, I dont think anyone could have expected them to be that low. Not sure on dosage as the results come through my gps and they wont comment on the clomid at all! So i need to call my f/s and try speak to him on monday. Im hoping so cos I feel even more useless than I did before hahaha

What do you reckon to me starting provera? Start now or wait til after AF due? x

 

[babyloulou]

I think you should wait until after just to be sure! Nursekel is the perfect example of why you need to! Her prog level was too low to show she'd ovulated and yet she was pregnant! xxx

 

[Rudeollie]

Hmm yeah maybe I'd best. Its just soo frustrating to be back behind schedule (so to speak!!) Hey ho at least Im doing something nice this weekend and not sat around moping! Loulou thanks for the help xxx

 

[babyloulou]

Again- I'm really sorry rudeollie- once you're doubled I'm sure you'll ovulate xxx

 

[Rudeollie]

Right more help needed! Been trying to weigh up all thats gone on and have just started with the terrible pain I had last month when I tested positive on the opk! Surely Im not ov'ing now??????? And noticed a LOT of cm. Advice please??????

 

[NurseKel]

Ollie, my theory is to never rule out any possible ovulation while taking Clomid. I have done a lot of research and there is just too many differing stories from ladies. I have read people ovulating later with Clomid and some earlier. I can tell you that I knew from my CM when I ovulated. I tried the OPKs but never got what I would call a positive so I stopped. I ovulated around CD 9 my last round which is extremely early in my opinion. We just BD'd every other day starting the day after finishing my last Clomid pill. I know this is impossible for some couples due to work schedules, etc but it almost ensures you will not miss the big O.

 

[Rudeollie]

Thanks Kellie. And here I was resigned to the fact things had stuffed up this month hahaha. Its so sore! Owwee! xxx

 

[NurseKel]

Just think of it this way...our bodies are crazy enough on their own. Then, we go putting the evil spawn known as Clomid in there and ya just never know what's gonna happen! LOL Keep your chin up cause ya just never know when that second line on a stick is gonna appear for you! Fingers crossed and lots of baby dust!!!

 

[Rudeollie]

Hahahaha you a funny gal kellie! Thanks for rsvp'ing so quickly. You've kept me sane hun! x

 

[NurseKel]

You're very welcome hun! I know what it's like better than anyone. I was so frustrated and couldn't believe I didn't just get pregnant immediately. I would never have dreamed I would be taking a fertility drug to get pregnant. Just goes to show ya that age really does kick our butts! My DD was an accident baby and this one took actual work to get! ROFL. I have all the faith in the world that all the wonderful ladies on here will get their BFPs.

 

[Rudeollie]

Well you're a big dose of PMA for all of us! Yay to your sticky bean my love xxx

 

[babyloulou]

HAve you got any OPKs ollie?

 

[Rudeollie]

HAve you got any OPKs ollie?

Yeah I have a few left over, but Im a total water freak and have drunk a lot today (cos I didnt think i'd be in this situation!) Still might give one a go though

 

[reedsgirl1138]

WWWOOOOHHHHOOOO Looks like I missed some BFPs!! Congrats to Tysonnme and Megs!! Megs that test looks awesome!!
Lou & Hedge FX your right there with them!!

Looks like I am just playing the waiting game now. I have a appt on March 9th for the HSG and I have a appt on April 20th for a consultation with a specialist. Think we are going for IUI....FX that all goes well and maybe I will get a BFP before then.

God Bless you all ladies and here are TO MANY BFP THIS MONTH!!

 

[babyloulou]

Try one anyway- later tonight. Some people ovulate really late on clomid xxx

 

[Rudeollie]

My poor DH is going out of his mind with all this! Haha Bless him! I shall test later on and see what to make of it. Would be good if it was but even if its not perhaps it means AF is on her way! XXX

Reeds girl - good luck with the HSG. Is it your first one? Its not as bad as some make out, just breath like its labour and you'll be ok xxx

Yes this is my first one and to be honest I think the results will show my tubes open or how else would I have had 2 chemical pregnancies?? But I do wonder if maybe they are open but maybe got some "debris" in the way keeping the egg from moving down to implant in time?? Does that make any sense?? Or am I grasping at straws?? LOL

 

[Rudeollie]

Makes total sense hun. Mine showed nothing at all. Which was great news as i expected the worse! Loads of girlies i know get their bfp's after a hsg so good luck!!!! My cousin did and now i have my beautiful god daughter Freya!!! FX for you hunni xxx

Hi girls,

Sorry to hijack your thread but I'm new to this site and wonder if someone can help out with what all the abbreviations such as OPK mean?

I have my first fertility appointment next Thursday & imagine they'll put me on clomid (I have PCOS and have had no periods for 9 months) so any advice, info on what to expect would be very much appreciated!

Thank you, Laura.
