Just wanted to pop my head in as this has been my first round of Clomid. I used OPKs and had 3 days of positive which I don't usually get. Would this be due to the Clomid? Does it indicate more than one day of ovulating? I'm not sure what happens when on Clomid. I am now in the 2ww and became nauseous after being awake for an hour this morning, and then vomited on and off for an hour and a half. I went back to bed and woke up feeling ok. So far I have been fine for the rest of the day. I also have sore nips...the bbs are fine, just the nips. Fingers crossed I haven't picked up a bug and I don't have PMT!

Wishing everyone good luck and hope we all get our IN 2009!

[lioness168]

Goodluck Ness, how have you been? I wish you the best! How have you been finding the Clomid so far? Or do you mean that if you dont succeed this cycle, you start next? Which days did/will you take it on? Did your specialist recommend which day to start . I am hoping that my nausea and vomiting might be morning sickness...I guess I'll find out in a couple of days time - fingers crossed.

mrsando although you got the evil witch at least this means the clomid is working. Keep going with it and you will get there!

Hi girls, just to let you know that my blood tests are showing elevated levels of prolactin (I wondered why my bbs were so sensitive and itchy!).

Has this happened anybody else? I only have one cycle of Clomid left and am not feeling hopeful. I suspect the hospital may be able to give me something to inhibit the prolactin but I'm not sure?

I have/d elevated prolactin and my RE put me on Parlodel (Bromocriptine) almost 8 weeks ago. I had my bloodtest last week and it is now under control due to the medication. I highly suggest they prescribe something to control this because the prolactin makes your body think you are pregnant or breast feeding which makes it almost impossible to even get pregnant since it suppresses Ovulation and or your period as well. This is just what I have read a while back when I researched it. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

I took Clomid 100mg CD3-7 last month and I feel crazy as hell!!! I am now 12dpo. I also had ovidrel trigger and 2 IUI's back to back. I'm in the wait but I'm pretty sure this cycle didn't work for me. I have my beta test scheduled for Tuesday morning.

Welcome lioness and nessie!

Sorry mrsando

 

[lioness168]

My 1st mth of clonid too. I also have sore nips and not sore bbs. This is not normal for me either.

Hi kstan, I noticed you are on CD35...when would you normally expect the to show? Are you experiencing any other signs or symptoms?

 

[kstan]

My cycles are normally 35 days so Im due any day now! I dont feel her coming at all this mth tho. I think that clomid have seriously knocked my hormones out of sync. No signs or symptoms other than the sore nipples...oh, and for last week I've had weird pain in my right ovary. I know its not ovulating but was gettin a bit paranoid about ovary enlargement, cyst (all the lovely side effects of clomid.) The pain makes me stop and drop everything I have hold of at the time. Oh, and this is gonna sound weird but shooting pains up my you know what and also my bum!! Hahahaaha!!!!! God I cant believe I have a pic of myself on here and Im sayin all this - oops x

 

[lioness168]

Hahaha you are the funniest kstan, thanks for the laugh...it was definitely what I needed today!!! Have you tested or going to test soon? How many cycles of Clomid have you been on so far? This is my first and I do not know what to expect. Tonight I have decreased appetite and the smell of food doesn't help. I am not sure if this is because I'm feeling a bit stressed at the moment or something else.

 

[kstan]

Any more comments like that from me then I'll have to blur out my picture - oh the shame of TMI!!!!
I've tested since 6dpo and all -ive! Been on clomid just 1 mth. Dont think I could go thru it again tho. When are you due AF? Have u had cd21 tests this mth?

 

[lioness168]

Love your sense of humour kstan , keep it up .
I tested 10 and 11 dpo and both came back negative. I am wary of testing again until I am about 3 - 4 days late. I am due around CD28 - 29? Do you know if clomid changes your cycle or does it stay the same. This was my first round on Clomid 50mg and I am also not looking forward to doing another round of ttc as it is so exhausting in all areas. Rang the specialist today and he was exceptionally happy with my CD21 blood results. My DH mentioned some of the symptoms I have been getting at the moment and the specialist said he was feeling positive about it Guess we'll just wait and see. How did you go with your CD21 blood results? Any news yet?

 

[kstan]

Thats good news that yr day 21 results were good - shows the clomid worked. My 21 results came back that I never o'd but I never would that early anyway cos I have 35 day cycles. I'm not sure how clomid affects yr cycle but it all sounds good for u!!!! Yippee for them making u ovulate! Thats one hurdle out the way!!!!! Yr day 28 today - pls go get a FRER and let me know how u get on!! I've got a great feeling for u and everything crossed!!!!! I'm officially 1 day late today and no sign at all. I'm hoping that I might have o'd late!! Always hanging on to some hope!!!!! GO TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[inayab]

Hi clomid club girls,
Just a quick question, i am on my first round of clomid and had scan on cd 10, 12 and 14 to see if i was oving, she said on the last one that my follicles were big and looked like they were deflating or they werepatchy on the screen and that i should ov in the next few days.
Question is, i wont be havin blood tests done till round three of the clomid, so how will they know if i def ov, or is it guaranteed that i did from the scan.

Please help!!

 

[lioness168]

Aww Kstan thanks for your support and for cheering me on. It certainly is and has been a hard journey. I am worried the may arrive tomorrow or maybe the Clomid may make things later, even though the specialist said my cycle should stay the same. I noticed tonight my areolas are getting bigger, hope this isn't just a PMS or Clomid effect. I want to try and wait to test until I am about 3 - 4 days late.

Sorry to hear about the results, sounds like you may have ovulated after the blood test though, as I read that they base the CD21 blood test on the average cycle length on 28 days. So maybe your bloods would probably be better taken at CD28 (35 - 7). Did you around your ovulating time? Officially one day late, thats great...not everyone gets any signs....fingers crossed for you. When are you going to test? I'm sooooooo keeping my fingers crossed for you. Sounds like we are both doing the waiting game thing.

inayab, I am sorry that I am not able to help you with your question as I didn't need to worry about scans. I ovulated on my own but just needed a bit of a boost as I have been ttc since Nov 07. I hope someone else will be able to assist you in your question.

 

[kstan]

Did I BD around ovulation....haha...we did it so much my fiance asked for a break for 1 night!!! The sheer cheek of it. It's ok for us to say no but the man should be on demand!!! I may go shops now and buy tests actually...brb x x

 

[lioness168]

kstan, how did you go? For me, I think AF has just started (either that or late bright red implantation bleeding - which I really don't think it is - just reaching). Looks like I will be starting 2nd Clomd cycle tomorrow (taking this afternoon as day 1????) DH an I are absolutely devastated as we did everything we could think of this month and covered all bases...and still no positive. I just don't understand. I thought we were in for a real chance since I had a lap about 2 months ago, on Clomid and ovulated, had acupuncture, and :bed: across the whole board of days throughout the cycle even though poor DH was really sick with fevers, etc. Any ideas whats happened? I really thought our chances were high...bugger!

Hope you have had a better day than DH and myself today. Take care and hope you have more luck this cycle than we did.

 

[kstan]

Thats crazy Lioness cos I have the same as u this mornin. I felt crampy this mornin so thought AF was on its way. I checked and there was a bit but not enough for a tampon. I put a tampon in anyway cos I was meeting a colleague with lkight grey trousers on!!!! Anyways, after being with her 1 hour, I burst out crying cos I was in sooo much pain. I felt like I was gonna give birth!! Not that I know wot thats like but the pain was bad. I'm now at mums (SO SHE CAN LOOK AFTER ME!!) But after being here an hour my pains have completely gone. I'm spotting a little but I dont need a tampon. Dont know if clomid has done this to me. Yr flow sounds similar. This is strange!!!!

How u feeling??
