clomid club

[sma1588]

ya i felt it buliding up then that day i had major pinches down there and alot of ewcm. my opks were also very dark, darker than the month i was on 2-6. i completly thought i was out that month because me and OH hadnt done anything for 2 days then a friend of mine had an emergency so i went to stay with her for 5 days. i was thinking no way i would be preg that month. i guess it actually helped though the sperm met the egg and my mind was on other things...............the cycle that worked for me was cd 3-7 100mg

YAY this month is my first and my pills were 3-7 well its now cd10**** and last night I took a OPK and it showed a pretty good line not darker than the other yet but close in the next day I should see the O
I was really worried but have gotten in a few bd's Some girl said that her doctor told her that the pulling and such means that the eggs will be in really nice shape! hehe that makes it all better my side killed for like 2 days stright!!!!!!! thanks so much and congrats girl!!!!!!!

Hey girls, sorry to everyone that had AF show, and good luck to those still waiting. We need more positives around here! I haven't been on. My honey and I bought a house and have been moving since the middle of last week. We are finally settled.

AF showed for me on Friday (moving day of course) and almost a week late. I think that it took so long due to the stress of buying a house and moving. Seeing the specialist on May 6th but my regular doc took me off the Clomid for this month while I wait. I was pretty pissed.

I can't O on my own and successfully o'd the last three Clomid cycles at 50mg. So I guess we are sort of taking this month off... sort of. I might do OPK's and we always have sex anyways. But I doubt I can O' without the Clomid.

Hopefully the FS has a great game plan and one that is aggressive. This was the hardest month by far. Now we have a big house with empty rooms, just waiting to be able to make one into a nursery.

Maybe they can bump you up to 100mg ? everything will work its self out!

Congrats on the house, now you can relax some

tmc - I doubted I would O on my own without clomid, but I did... Fx'd for you ... having another wait for AF etc would really stink!

I took it 3-7 last month and was in the worst pain i have been in so far with it. I could even lie down it hurt so much.

If that means my eggs were better and i had a stronger ovulation then i dont care about the pain and ill do it every month lol xx

Hi, please can I join the Clomid club...

Hi everyone

I am currently on cycle 2 of 100mg of Clomid. I am currently cd21 (blood test tomorrow) yet today I have really uncomfortable high backache. I woke up with this this morning. I had this last month but on cd24. I feel really down as I think its a sign the Clomid hasn't worked again this month. I don't know if I ovulated this month, there were no signs I did. I have had nausea on and off for the past four or five days, terrible hot flashes this month and headaches on and off. Its this backache that is really bothering me. It is a constant ache just a little below my shoulder blades. I just cannot get comfy. I really don't think the Clomid has worked again this month and I am really upset. I'm getting to the point where the constant bfn's are getting too much for me to deal with. Has anyone else had this sort of backache with Clomid and on cd21? I stupidly went to see a psychic about 7 weeks ago who was convinced I would have a bfp at Easter and she could see me heavily pregnant at Christmas. I can't tell you how that perked me up and now I feel rubbish she was wrong. I would be so grateful of any replies....thank you. x

Hi, I dont know about the backache sorry, but the more and more I see of ttc I realise that our bodies do just trick us at every step. If you read back a few weeks youll see that I was convinced I hadnt ovulated even tho I test daily. The psychic has upset you and Im sorry about that. Just wait til AF is due before you cast judgement.

If you need to take another cycle maybe use opk next time,they might help with the waiting a bit.

Clomid really does make the cycle a lot harder, but we're all v supportive here so post away

Hi cranberry, thank you so much for your reply and a huge congrats on your BFP. You must be over the moon. I am really happy for you. I have read back and have read your journal. Its fab. I guess i will just wait until ledt month. I have ordered more opk but as I have PCOS, they are not supposed to be reliable. I will plod on, lol. Congrats again, hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy and enjoy. x

susan123 - I did my first 2 rounds of clomid without scans or even blood tests. Then my next 2 I had blood tests and found out my progesterone was still low. I switched doctors and got the full treatment, scans etc.
In my case, we did the scans so that we could keep an eye on follicle size to see if they weren't getting big enough to give me good progesterone levels. We also had to do the scans because I was going on a higher dose of clomid and they were more nervous about the chance for multiples etc.
Scans aren't REALLY needed unless you are trying to watch for potential issues like cysts or too many follicles or even small follicles etc. I would have been just fine without the scans on my last cycle... but if my progesterone had come back low again we would have had more information to make a plan for next time. (I was getting an average of 19 on my progesterone levels using the UK measurement by the way.. thats what I mean by 'low').

Hope13 - I never had the bachache either... but I can also tell you that absolutely nothing felt different physically about my cycle when I got my BFP. The only symptoms I had showed up after I had a positive blood test and were so subtle that I wouldn't have noticed them if I didn't 'know' I was pregnant already. Its normal to have these ups and downs of hope and despair though. Just hang in there If you need to get yourself ready for disappointment, by all means do... if you need hope restored, let us know and we will all happily cheer you on!

Thank you Lisa, congratulations on your bfp, lovely news. My backache is terrible today, really high up then travels down periodically through the day. Im definately out this month, my gut instinct tells me. Anyway, brill news for you, enjoy and hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy. x

hey girls anyone have weird cycles after clomid? I was on the 100 mg last month and had that rough end to the cycle..... well we are taking a break this month. the cramping has never gone away and i am on cd 9 or so. also i had moderate to heavy af for a couple days then back to the spotting. spotting quit and now today i had a little brown spotting again when i wiped. so confused. also have had a ton of water retention- like gaining/losing 5-10 pound in a day!!! i have an appt with the reproductive endocrinologist next week.

Is fatigue a side effect of Clomid? I have been so exhausted the last several days even though I've been getting plenty of sleep. I went to bed at 9 last night and slept til 6 and I feel so worn out today. I don't remember being so tired with my previous rounds of Clomid.

 

[mmcheek1]

ok ladies i have been on 50 mg of clomid o'd but had low progestrone levels. i had been using the smiley opk's in the past decided to use the cheapies from online. i had everyone read them they thought it was pos 2 days ago even yesterday but, not i or anyone else could say for certain. except i am having very little cramping and my breast are not sore but tingly. i cramped like the dickens the last two months and now higher not so much. does that mean no big o
