Hi girls! I hope all is well with you.

Sorry I haven't visited in a while. Unfortunately, I had a blighted ovum and recently miscarried. I am doing better now, but am still overwhelmed by the thought of TTC again. I haven't been spending as much time on BnB, but I will probably stop by more often.
I'm waiting for my HCG level to go back to zero. Then after my next AF arrives, I can start treatments. I'm not sure if I'll take Clomid again, but I assume they will try it since it has obviously worked. Otherwise, I will move on to injectables. Only time will tell!

I am so so sorry for your loss. I have been there and understand how difficult this time is. Try to remember it has to be for a reason- even if we aren't privvy to what it is. It WILL happen. Stay strong. xox.

 

[Peach Blossom]

Bizybee so very sorry for your loss. The though of ttc again after a loss is overwhelming and you are torn with desperately wanting to fill the void and not wanting it to happen again. I won't say things like 'at least you can get pregnant' because things like that don't help. Stay strong and take your time. Talk to your Dr about whether you should go back to the Clomid when you're ready to ttc again.

Hi, I am returning to this site (after a while away) having started on clomid again recently. I have been TTC for 2.5 years and I don't ovulate naturally. I got pregnant after my second month of taking 50mg clomid the first time but unfortunately miscarried at 6 weeks. I am now in my second month of taking clomid for the second time around. I don't know why but this time it doesn't seem to be working as I am not ovulating (no temp rise, no period etc). Any advice?

Hi girls . I just started my first round of Clomid lastnight 50mg. I was scared to take the pill at first due to the side effects I have read about, but bit the bullet and took it. I woke up with diarrhea once, feel jittery, hungry then not hungry afterall, and tired. No hot flashes or headache yet. Do you normally get the side effects after the first pill or does it take a few doses.

Thanks!

Hi. I am back, after 2 cycles off of Clomid. I had one cycle on before that. This time, I am trying Clomid with IUI. I have Unexplained Infertility. Good luck to everyone! Oh, and I have been TTC for 16 months.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY

Scuttler = Im so sorry for your loss Did you have a break off clomid before starting again after the mc?? I would phone FS and ask for a tracking scan and CD21's just to see how youre getting on xxxxx Good Luck xxxx

Harmony = Good Luck with the IUI!!!

Proud - I got all the nasty side effects on the first month I took it... headaches, hot flushes, dodgy vision, depressed, insomnia.... eurggh but now on round 3 and not feeling a thing. Everyone is different and you maybe on of the lucky ones xxxx

Amy - 19 cycles ttc after mc. Just finished on CD6 tablet on my 3rd round. I wiish my nails where nice and strong!!! Good luck with the clomid!!! xxxx

 

[BizyBee]

Sorry for your loss Scuttler. Has your Dr. suggested increasing your dose? I don't think I ovulated until I took 100mg.

OneProudMummy, I didn't really have side effects so I'm not much help. I hope it goes well for you too.

Harmonygirl, hope the IUI does the trick and you get a bfp really soon.

Amy, I am in limbo right now after a MC so not sure when I'll have a new cycle. I didn't notice stronger nails. Maybe that's one of the lucky side effects!

Hi Samba darling! Hope all is well. xx

 

[lovin_it]

Well I had looked forward to beginning clomid this cycle, but AF didn't show up like usual...this time it was very light spotting/staining for a day and now nothing....I'm holding off taking a pg test....don't wanna get my hopes up to have them crash down around me again...AF may show up again soon...only time will tell. I was super excited to begin my first round of clomid...now I feel frustrated...urggghh...every 14 days I have gotten my period and the one time I want her to show up.....she goes away!! and doesn't come back.....

 

[lovebabies]

Hey everyone! Im new to the forum!
Im on my first round of clomid (50mg) and on D14 today...but still no positive OPK, so im getting frustrated. I hope to find some other girls in the same situation here
Goodluck to everyone!
Hugss

hi everyone.....

welcome lovebabies....im currently just on my 2nd cycle of clomid 50mg...my 1st cycle i didnt get a smiley face on my cb opk til d15...so maybe u might 2moro?? have heard that clomid can delay the ovulation so try not to worry...

have just been to isis, a fertilty center near us, they had an open evening....iui & ivf were discussed amongst other procedures too...its all so scary....they showed us round all the rooms etc & where they do all the egg collecting etc....cant believe its gonna be roughly £5000 for ivf....& only 30% chance of success!! have got a consultation on the 14th there so will see what they say.....we were hoping maybe iui but the success rate is sooo low & i dont think its worth doing at £1000 a time!....

pleeeeaaaaasssee let this cycle of clomid work & get me pregnant......would make my Christmas! xx

 

[MillieMoo]

Hi All.

Here's wishing to BFP's for everyone for christmas! Wouldn't that be wonderful!! Dh said that's all he wants for xmas! I really hope i can give it to him!

 

[OneProudMommy]

Hi ladies!

I took my second pill and today noticed my temp jumped, is that normal on Clomid? Also today both ovaries have been pinchy. Is this a good sign both sides are making eggs?

 

[lovebabies]

Thanks DancingKaty1, Im hoping you will get ur BFP before Christmas! I hope I'll get one too.. but first getting my big O!

Oneproudmommy; I had the temp jump too, but now 3 days ago on day 11 it jumped back to like around 96,8 (before around 97,5 when taking clomid and the couple days after) so I dont know, its like that low for like 3days, so I guess it has all to do with the Clomid... I was hoping it was my O-time but no luck yet!

Have all a great Thanksgiving!!

 

[nicola123]

Hey All - well I'm on my last clomid 50mg tablet on cycle 2, not as excited as I was on the first round but still must try with PMA!!

Lovebabies - I didn't get a positive on OPK till CD16 and then temps confirmed ovulation on CD18....so I wouldn't worry yet. I hope I ovulate earlier than CD18 this cycle just because I am so impatient!!! I want an xmas BFP too - would be the best present EVER.

Well just a waiting game now, waiting for O then 2ww!

Really wishing you all the best of luck with your BFP's. x

 

[lovebabies]

@Nicola123; Haha yeah im super impatient too, last couple days I even did 2 OPK's a day, just because I cant wait :O
Anyway today is CD15 so I hope I will get it tomorrow then or the day after
And BFP is the best Christmas gift EVER!! lets hope we'll get that

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

 

[lovebabies]

Hmm.. I was reading some old posts, and is a FS a fertility Specialist?

Is everyone here seeing one, or just a normal doctor?
Im seeing a normal doctor right now.. but I wonder if I should go see a Fertility Specialist?

My doctor prescribed me the 50mg of Clomid, but doesnt wanna do any monitoring..
I would like them to check with a ultrasound if my follicles are even doing something or that im just wasting time? I also heard some of you talking about the HCG shot.. does your doctor give that or do you get that from your Fertililty Specialist?
I would really like to get that too..So i guess I have to go to a FS?
Can you just call them or do you need to be transferred from your doctor?

Hope you guys can help me! (im from Europe living in USA, so everything just works a bit different here than im used too! )

Thanks!!!

 

[Kiki09]

Hi lovebabies, I am the same just being treated by my normal Dr, 50mg cd2-6, no monitoring. Monitoring etc is done if you go private, which I am thinking of doing as now on my 3rd month of clomid and not ovulated on it the last twice according to FF and my temperature...

Good luck with getting your BFP, hope you dont have to wait too long
