clomid club

[ttcbaby117]

becci - when i went they did an hsg and scan. They also tested dh sperm count. They didnt do to much blood work on me...not that i remember anyways. Then after they saw my tubes were clear then gave me clomid.

britt- yeah this ttc does take a toll on a otherwise healthy relationship. Your dh might just feel a bit insecure about his results...men sometimes dont like to deal with things like this, like it affects their manhood or something. Maybe just give him sometime to swallow that pill first. Us women, well, we deal with it sooooo much better.......

dragon - good for you on the excersise bit. I try to get to the gym at least 1 hour a day....though I cut it short today. I had some weird af cramps which is weird for me at this time of my cycle. So i jumped off the tread mill and went home...then of course my nerves got the best of me.....I am here now and not having anymore pain but I do feel slightly anxious...does anyone know if this is a side effect of the clomid....I hate the feeling of anxiety!!!!!

[ttcbaby117]

hahaha, yeah it is really beautiful here today also....i went to the beach this morning and had a walk...but today on the treadmill was weird...I have never had pain so sharp but then brief like that.....Does clomid cause anxiety cuz i am really feeling anxious.

 

[Rudeollie]

Its probably ov getting ready honey. It could come and go over the next few days Im afraid.........You can take any baby safe painkillers with it tho

Clomid makes some anxious and some depressed too. It might not be every month tho xx

i get bad pains too with clomid its quite common,

i get hit with terrible anxiety luckily i hide it quite well, i feel like i've been hit wth a huge bill or something and start over analysing what people are thinking of me. it passes after ovulation though.

xxxx

 

[ttcbaby117]

thanks ladies, I feel much better now....I didnt have these feelings last month....Actually I havent had such bad anxiety since I was going through my divorce 5 years ago....WOW!!!!

Well I guess on the up side this means my ov is close...I guess i will start my cough medicine tomorrow...and maybe some preseed...hahaha

caz - are you going to start bding everyday now? i was thinking of doing the same...we didnt bd last night but will do tonight and then maybe take off tomorrow and then do it every night after that till ov is confirmed!

hey gals, been lurking a little.
Ran into an issue with my Clomid though. I've forgotten to take it 2 times now!
First night I was supposed to take it, I forgot, took it at 6:30am as soon as I got up and realized I'd forgotten. I took my next dose at night as usual, around 10pm. Then last night, I forgot again!!! I took it this morning and will take the evening dose also.

I switched to taking the pills at night so I would remember.

Any idea how badly this will mess things up? I'm on 50mg, this is my 4th cycle, ovulated each time.

I used to horseride at birchwood riding centre Helen and often on Riddings Park- how old are you?

hey guys I haven't posted for a while. I got my positive OPK yesterday early in the AM and was really excited as I have not ovulated this early in my cycle in forever! What does everyone think about working out and jogging and such while BDing and TTC? Do you all try to cut down on the extra activity so as to avoid shaking out the spermies? I know that sounds silly but I wonder.

Lisa F- I saw your question about clomid missing a dose, I think you better ask your doc. I think you aren't supposed to take double dose on the same day but since you are only 50mg it seems like to me you would be okay. I would ask!

 

[ttcbaby117]

kcw - congrats on the ov'ing...I do tone down my workouts a bit during my tww but not before that. I dont life heavy weights and I track my heart rate. I dont think the spermies will fall out unless you jump up right after bding and start a workout. Try to lay down for about 1/2 hour after bding so the spermies can get up into the uterus.

 

[kcw81]

thanks ttc - I do lay down, actually I lay there for an hour! I always think about how during ovulation time you want your spermies to be able to swim up and make it to meet the egg and fertilize and I always kind of wonder if running and walking around alot disrupts that process at all. I know they say there is no way that it does but I still worry!

So for some reason I got curious and pulled out my original hiring packet from my current job. We had this great insurance plan that just got too expensive for us to keep.

Sure enough, on that plan, infertility services would have been covered 50%. We got rid of that plan in January of 2009, so I wouldn't have even known I had fertility issues at that point and wouldn't have had a chance to get much testing done anyway... its just such a bummer that we had to get rid of that plan.

I am pouting right now and don't want to call my doctor. After my appointment with him on Tuesday, I found out that he wouldn't have forced me to have my blood taken on 5dpo... which is not what the nurses told me when I asked them to check with him. I feel like the nurses do not communicate well with them. In fact, he indicated he would have had me stop at the 3rd round for a break - yet the nurse checked with him and told me he said to go ahead with my 4th round. So either he's losing it, or the nurses cannot take a message or relay information correctly. So... yeah, lol I don't want to call to find out what they say about the missed doses.

sorry lisa F ! your docs and nurses communcation abilities suck. I googled it, so thats where I read that you shouldnt double up on the same day - but I led to my own conclusion that since you are only at the 50mg and plus it was early in the AM spaced out to the next one at night, you would be fine. They said if you missed a dose then okay just miss it and take the next day on schedule. I don't know how that would still work for a person with one day missing.

I'm figuring I'll be fine because they are spaced out and I am taking a low dose. Heck, my progesterone was low on this last cycle, so if what I'm doing counts as doubling up, maybe it will help! Lol! I'm just worried because I did it twice now. Can you tell how unexcited I am for this cycle? Feel like its my last chance since I have to take a break after it and I don't think I can even hope that I'll ovulate on my own without clomid.
