clomid club

[want2bamom]

I just finished my last dose of clomid and thank god i'm finished..I really took it rough this month...I was so naucious for so long, terrible headaches and hot flashes!!! So now its waiting time for me to ovulate!! Woo hoo!! I have a very PMA right now!!!!!

 

[hollee]

jan i wouldn't worry too much im on my 3rd round of clomid and haven't had any blood tests or scans, my GP said as long as im getting +opk's then all is ok for now.

 

[Jan34]

Thanks hollee - that's useful to know. I'll have had 1 lot of results by then anyway, so hopefully they'll be ok and it won't be an issue.

So you got clomid from your GP? Have to get it from a consultant in my area. Isn't it strange how much these things vary according to where you live!?!

 

[miel]

Af is here ....so going ton my second round of clomid i guess !

 

[Jan34]

Sorry she got you miel. Fingers crossed for round 2.

 

[Angelmarie]

Sorry she got you again Miel Bring on round 2 though!!! Good luck!!!

I had to be prescribed clomid from my specialist here too. Wish my GP had been able to do it would have started it a long time ago!!! Oh well. My chart is looking pretty good - the best it has ever looked post ovulation I think. 8 dpo. Fingers crossed.

 

[hollee]

im sorry got you miel

i had my lap and dye & blood tests beginning of dec, after being referred to my FS, i then had to wait 4.5 months for the follow up appointment so i went to see my GP and after she got the results in the beginning of jan she was happy to prescribe me clomid as she understood that waiting over 4 months for my follow up was really upsetting and i had just been diagnosed with depression the month before & she wanted to make things as easy as poss for me, she has been fab!

though when i phoned up my FS secretary to get DH's results faxed to my GP (which i had to fight tooth and nail for) and mentioned that my GP prescribed me clomid she was really rude and horrible saying that my GP had no right to do that!!! the whole conversation with her really upset me at the time, i will be going to my FS app on the 16th march halfway through my 3rd round of clomid so i guess ill find out then if he is as unhappy as his secretary about it if i see her i might be a lil naughty

 

[Jan34]

Hollee - Good for you for refusing to sit back and wait! Don't worry too much about the secretary - in my experience those in the NHS they like to throw their weight around to feel important!

Angelmarie - fingers crossed, keep us updated!

Hi!

I am on CD 24 with my 1st round of 50 mg clomid. I had severe side effects with this medication. I basically missed 2 weeks of my life, in bed for 6 days.... visual disturbances, dizziness, unable to concentrate, weakness, hot flashes and on and on. I am not sure if I will take it again.

Last Monday I fainted. I have been having very sore bbs with a sensation of having a fuller and heavy lower abdomen. I feel like I am going to have a very heavy AF. My cycles are very long and unpredictable so I have no idea when AF should be coming. Cramping has been constant for about a week now and I think from what I have read, that I Oed around day 14 to 16.

Good luck to all.

That sounds terrible!!! If you do go on to round 2 I hope your body is a little more accustomed to the meds!

When you going to test? Good luck!

 

[CLDM]

Hi Angelmarie!

I am going to the doctor on Thursday, Mar. 12. That will be the last day of this "cycle". Like I said my cycles are usually really long, so I will see when he wants me to test. Today, the cramping is not as severe and I feel so much better with regards to the dizziness and visual symptoms. And I thought that I spotted today... Just a little .. so not sure what that is about. Also, my bbs are not as angry either lol.

Take care! And good luck to you as well.
Cheers

Hi there,
I am starting my first round of Clomid tomorrow...I am excited yet nervous...I am tired and drained, I took Provera to bring the witch down and she came with a vengeance, my flow is so heavy I got light headed at work yesterday...not sure what to expect of how it all works but feeling a glimmer of hope I am so glad this thread is here, reading through it makes me feel like I am not alone out there...thanks ladies

 

[hollee]

clomid is working i got a today on my opk

im going for a friday 13 conception

goodluck to everyone

 

[miel]

i am getting some bad bad headache ? is that clomid you think guys?

 

[hollee]

definitely clomid, i got pretty bad headaches aswell that lasted about 5 days

 

[miel]

just took 2 pains killers hope that will help me !!!!

 

[CLDM]

Arrived with a vengeance today. But the good news is... I was on CD 28!! My doctor said that I DID Ovulate 14 days ago and that is a first for me! So clomid at least did that much. Going to take a break from the meds though... Side effects were brutal and my doctor had never heard of them like that before.. so.. good luck to all!

 

[Jan34]

Miel and Hollee - same here with the headaches, particularly for a couple of days after finishing the course. They were brutal.

Hollee - me too!!! I saw my first ever pos on a OPK yesterday!!! I was so excited, I tried them for a few months about a year ago and got soooo stressed about never seeing a pos that I gave up and started temping instead. But Dr insisted I use them whilst on clomid. My temp went up this morning as well, but not significantly enough to defo be OV. But I was soooooo excited to finally see a result on one of those damn things, I've peed on soooo many sticks since starting this journey and I was starting to feel I had defective pee!!

A couple of questions

My Dr told me to go for a blood test 7 days after detecting LH surge, but it would be SOOOOO much easier in terms of work to go 8 days after. Will that matter?

And secondly, Dr told us to bd every other day rather than every day as research shows that gives you more chance of conception. We were due to bd last night, so we did. Given I got pos OPK yesterday, I want to have 1 more go tonight and ignore doc's every other day advice, because the way I figure it, tomorrow will be too late. I should add they dh's sperm is good - so dr didn't tell us that for those reasons.

Whaddya reckon ladies?

 

[Angelmarie]

Im 15 dpo... two days late... no and no ?!?!?!?!?!?

I just wish would come as tha looks like the way its going this month... Had loads of symptoms but I would have thought a hpt would sow by now plus my temp has become erratic and is dropping...

How frustrating!!!

Well done ladies on your + opks!!!! Get and I will watch this space!!!!

@ Miel - I also got headaches. Not nice. Hope your painkillers work!!!

Sorry she got you Good luck for your next cycle... and I dont blame you for having a break from the meds! It sounds like they wiped you out!!!

@ Jan - I would bd every day just to cover bases
