clomid club

[bklove]

Question: Has anyone had to go on clomid because they were ovulating but the dr wanted to "strengthen" it and potential extend luteal phase? How well has that worked? My gyn suggested it but i'm worried about if its worth doing because the side effects sound harsh from what i've read on here. Any suggestions?? Thanks ladies!

Hi

Like to join the club, I am on my fourth round of clomid 100mg days 5-9. I'm on day 13 of my cycle. Husband has high abnormal sperm, but a normal sperm count if that makes any sense. I'm not even sure when I will ovulate since I never get a positive OPK. APpt, with fertility specialist on APril 9 if AF arrives that day.

yay clomid seems to have worked for me the 1st round..

i O'd on CD17
now on 6dpo..

wish m luck girls...

Lunaty...what days did you take clomid..how long is your cycle generally? Just trying to pinpoint when i will o since opk dont seem to work for me. Good luck to you!

did you guys get started on it because you weren't ovulating or for other reasons?

We got started after TTC for about a year. I was convinced maybe I wasn't ovulating...I was getting a period every 27-29 days, but never got positive OPK. I'm on the fourth round of clomid, day 13, and still no positive OPK. What about you bklove?

Hey hey, i had a very long anovulatory cycle before this (about 80 days).. my normal BCP cycle was always around 30 days..
I had to take Provera to start a new period and i took Clomid from CD 2 to 6.

You can have a look at my FF chart in my signature.

im 15DPO & really want to test but am scared coz had slight cramps yesterday and loads of creamy CM, i really wanted this month to work as its my last one on clomid for awhile.....don't know if i can handle seeing a BFN tho

My dr recommended it because of possible lp issues and m/c history, but I do O though according to +opk and rising temps. She thinks it may "strengthen" my cycle. I haven't started it yet, don't really want to if I don't have to I guess. I decided to wait out this cycle and see, but I am open to it though, thats why I wanted to know why you ladies started taking it and the benefits.

Hi. Im about to start clomid. As i have irregular periods i dont know exactly when this will be but hopefully sometime in the next couple of weeks. I will be taking it days 2-6 with Metformin 500mg 3x daily.

Lets hope it works!

Hey girls!

Man its been a while since I last posted here, well I went off TTC for the months of Feb & Mar and here I am again

This is my 3rd cycle on clomid, but they up'd the dose to 100mg I started today (cd 3).... lets see when I ovulate now! lol

Anyone else taking 100mg? What days do u take it and when did u ovulate?

 

[misa080401]

hi jaytee! I'm actually on my fourth round of clomid, 100mg, taken days 5-9 (I generally have a 28 day cycle) but am not sure if/when I ovulate. Good luck with everything and baby dust to you!

so even on clomid you have a 28-day cycle? that awesome. My last two cycles on clomid 50 mg gave me 32 day cycles! I hope that the 100mg makes me ovulate sooner then cd18 like in the past.

~~I need to buy my OPKS! lol

I have a Clomid question here. If you have PCOS and therefore dont use OPK's beause you get positives all the time, then is this still the case when you're on Clomid? Because Clomid controls some of your hormones - but does it control LH?

Any PCOS Clomid experiences of this out there?

 

[krockwell]

Hi Ladies,

I've just started (3 days ago) my first round of Clomid 50mg. I'm taking CD 5-9, and the Dr told us to like :bunnies: on CD 12 through 18, every other day.

We have... unexplained not...neccessarily infertility, because we can get pregnant, it's just that we can't sustain a pregnancy.

Also pairing the Clomid with 250mg/twice a day of Metformin. Anyone else on this? As I'm not entirely sure what the Metformin is for?

Hi Ladies, I am on my first round of clomid. Today is my day 5 pill. I havent had any side effects. thank god. I would like to join the clomid club. the days my dr put me on clomid are different from the normal. He started me on CD9 after i had my HSG done. I have an ultrsound set up for next week to check my progress with the clomid. Hubby cant wait to bd. good luck to all you ladies and hoping for the BFP'S

Hey Fairy1984 ~~

I was told that I have PCOS, however not everyone that has PCOS gets a positive on OPKS all the time...for example - I don't get a positive opk until I'm actually near ovulation, I guess I'm blessed that way.

Clomid can be tricky only because you shouldn't OPK test until 2-3 days after the last pill. If you test sooner than that you are bound to see a positive because Clomid turns opk's positive - therefore leading to false positive OPK's.

for example ~~ if you take Clomid cycle day 3-7 then you shouldn't OPK test until cycle day 10. I hope I helped a little

Hi girls, do you mind if I join the club?
I have very long cycles so I've had a variety of tests: HSG, ultrasound, bloodwork. My Dr. determined that I am anovulatory (most recent progesterone level was 0.53). If doesn't arrive by next Friday, I will start taking Provera. Then I will begin Clomid on CD3-7 and Prometrium on CD18-32.

Hi Girls
Hope u dont mind me joining u, i started clomid 4 the first time last month days 2-6 of my cycle. unfortunately the witch got me today feel like crying but i suppose i have to get on with it and start over tomorrow. I really thought this was the month had no period pains and my boobs were killing.
Hoping for BFP this cycle

Welcome fingersx, I am fairly new my self and trust me when I tell you that you are going to love it here at B&B our ladies are so supportive and helpful a breath of fresh air from other mommy websites

I just started AF after a 32 day cycle (I was shocked it came on it's own since I needed Provera last month) and unfortunately had a failed first attempt at Clomid 50mg last month...I have a doctors appointment on Friday 4/10 to see where we go from here and to see if he should up the dosage of Clomid to 100mg or keep me another month with 50mg...I did not track ovulation last month and for sure this month I will.
