clomid club

[Rudeollie]

Me too Britt!!!! Pcos & low morph - my hubby was only 3%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at us now Hehehe!

SBB - Yep its 12 weeks and that depends on how busy they are! My friend paid for her 12wk one last year as the waiting list wouldve meant she was 18 weeks! Madness!

Ive just been talking with someone in Perth who gets private scans for £25!!!!! Get up there or at least check how much yours cost. Mine is £100 under 8 weeks and £150 after x

 

[babyloulou]

Britt- my OH has motility and morphology issues too- I agree with Dragonmummy- my OH cut out baths, alcohol and caffeine. He added zinc, selenium, wellman vitamins and bee pollen. His numbers on his second test had improved loads after 2 months of changes xxx

 

[SBB]

Sod that I might get a private scan at 8/9 weeks...

x x x

 

[Britt11]

thanks girls so much!! I knew I could count on you for advice and feedback
DH loves his hot baths and I cant seem to talk him out of it...maybe with this info I can
Rudeollie, thats amazing and you got your BFP this cycle too!! I dont see your status changed though or a preg ticker!!
how many rounds of Clomid were you on? did you do anything else special or have any advice to get the BFP?

honestly girls, I really feel so at home on this thread....love the kidness and support

 

[dizzikel]

SBB: Did you have any symptoms? How often did you bd? Sorry for all the questions but I am on my first cycle of clomid too so new to everything.

 

[Rudeollie]

Im too scared to change it just yet Britt! M/c last year and I burnt my fingers with that one so will change it soon promise! xxx

Where do I start on things i tried!!!!!! Hahaha Wel I was cycle 3, Ov'd in Jan ddnt in Feb lost most of March and Ov'd April 4th.

I drank pink grapefruit juice in the morning, decaf green tea at night, took the cough medicine 5days after my last tablet and until the day after I ov'd......Was already on vitamins and after ov I started munching on brazil nuts to help my lining Oh and used preseed every other night !

It was the first month I used it all togather so something worked ok xxx

if not I have heard really good things about IUI, maybe thats what we need...

 

[Rudeollie]

Well my F/s said iui or ivf was our only options.......I begged for clomd and I proved him wrong didnt i???? Waa haaa haa!!!!!!!!!

 

[babyloulou]

Britt- mine used to have a hot bath everyday- he wouldn't do showers at all- until he saw his results. He has a bath once a month now on the day I come on AF. I crack the wine open and he runs his bath! It's made a HUGE difference to his results xxx

 

[VickyLou]

Congrats SBB on your bfp, hope its a sticky bean.

[lisaf]

Hey everyone, just catching up with what's going on.
Congrats SBB!

Having a rough day emotionally waiting for my doctor's appt. I went in at 11:30am and he got called out for an emergency. I'm supposed to go back at 1:30 but am afraid they'll put me off again. I stayed home today, doing work from my laptop just to go to this appointment and I'm just so afraid I won't get to see him and get all my questions answered.

 

[MrsChambers]

Hey ladies, I am relatively new to the forum and been trying to catch up on all the posts in here. I have joined the first cycle clmoid thread as well.

First of all Congratulations SBB and rudeollie on your BFP's fingers crossed for sticky beans.

I am 30 DH 34
Been TTC since April 08
No Af since only with norethisterone in June, September and December 09

I have taken my Provera for 5 days last day was Sunday and now I need to wait for AF to start my Clomid on days 2-6. I will then have to have follicle tracking done so got to keep my fingers crossed.

I hope there is someone out there at a similar stage to be a buudy for me throughout this process x

hey Vicky, hope you O soon. Very curious on your DH's sperm analysis, hopefully they were a good shock??!
thanks girls for your advice on improving DH's count...it seems like its really common for the guys to have issues too. I think as women we are so hard on ourselves we normally assume that its just us...

 

[VickyLou]

Hi and welcome mrschambers.

Good luck with starting clomid. Hopefully it will get your bfp sooner rather than later.

Im on the 3rd and last course of clomid this month. Also having follicle tracking.

Ollie - Did you start taking the cough medicine 5 days after your last pill or for 5 days after your last pill....I am going to try the cough medicine but i dont want to start taking it to early. I didnt ovulate on clomid last cycle until cd18 which would mean I would be taking the cough medicine for 10 days straight. Any advice from anyone on this would help!

Britt- I think that advice on the vitamins does really work, if you are in canada might I recommend the vitamins my dh uses....we got them from our friend who has a vitamin store in vancouver....they are called Platinum activ-x multivitamin, (I actually take the prenatal version of the platinum brand).....also they are soft gels which I have been told allow for better absorption ....My DH luckily didnt have an issue when he went for his first test...but we put him on vitamins and after 3months they did another test and it came back even better.

 

[ttcbaby117]

Also ollie - how much of the medicine did you take per day?

 

[Rudeollie]

Thanks mrs chambers xxx Good luck on your clomid trip xxx

TTC - I started taking it 5 days after my last tablet, and took it 3x a day 10ml each time i think???? And took it right up til the day AFTER I ov'd xxx

 

[ttcbaby117]

ok that is what I was thinking of doing...thank you for that bit of information!

 

[stoney31672]

Hi I'm totally new to this site, would be nice to get some feedback. I started Clomid in November but by Jan 2010 my consultant decided to increase it to 100mg as I was not ovulating, 100mg is making me ovulate since Jan but still not pregnant! I am due in hospital tomorrow on CD16 I seem to ovulate around CD17/18. Last month I ovulated 2 follicles not sure what I will be told tomorrow.

 

[VickyLou]
