Hi caz and bob hope your doing well, i know these holidays are all over the spot this year thanks to the royal wedding..

How is everyone? sorry i havnt been on, ive been trying to distance myself from thinking ttc, and chillout abit. I couldnt even tell you what day im on.
This cycle i took my clomid days 5-9 because i still had a follical from my last cycle there until day 5> even though i did ovulate it just wouldnt budge. so psychologically I kept thinking we didnt have a chance this cycle (because initially they said i wouldnt be able to take my clomid). I have used OV tests and got my very strong positive so we BD'd the day i got the positive and the day after which was yesterday, but im not constantly thinking about needing to BD which is nice. I feel quite chilled! although i do keep having strange baby dreams. ??

If we dont concieve this cycle im taking 2-3 cycles off the clomid to chill, but theres still a possibility i can concieve naturally on my off cycles, its just whether i will or not. hopefully we wont have to take any off and I concieve this cycle FX..

sorry its long just thought id update xxx

FYI, I had a 17mm cyst at the start of my BFP cycle.. my doc did some bloodwork to see if it was a functional cyst (aka a follicle).. it wasn't so he let me take the clomid anyway. He said it wouldn't hurt anything to take the clomid if it had been a follicle, but it wouldn't have done anything for me if it was a follicle.
Just thought I'd share!

Hey ladies! back after a long absence. Just got referred for IVF, as the 150mg of Clomid for 10 days did not make me ovulate and that is the highest dose my doc can give me...sigh...oh well. onwards and upwards!!
hope you're all doing well =)
Probably won't be on the clomid club much more as i'm no longer taking clomid....too bad it didn't work for me. hope it works for all of you =)

 

[cranberry987]

Oh sorry about that, 150 for 10 days, eek, must have been hard. Fingers crossed for stimming it tho, its a different drug after all so you may react to it well, gl with it all

Congratulations McMummy!!!! H&H 9 months and beyond my lovely x

born2b, Sorry the clomid didn't help and lots of luck with the ivf, do keep in touch x

Caz, So sorry AF got you honey but lots of luck for cycle 2 xx

Win, The kidney infection sounds nasty, have been there myself and it isn't pleasant. To add insult to injury the antibiotics gave me thrush Hope you have better luck next cycle too. x

AFM 7dpo so another week until testing. Hoping for a miracle. x

Hello ladies, do you mind if I join? I am about to start clomid, got the tablets today so will start in the next few days or so.
Quick summary. I am 41, DH 43, we have DS who is 9 and have been ttc no 2 for 2.4 years with no success at all Had all the tests and now officially classed as 'unexplained'. FS has given me 6 cycles clomid at 50mg on days 3-7 and will let me have up to 12 cycles if needs be. Was told today at clinic appt that success rate of pg is about 40% but that this drops in over-40's. Of course!.
Anyway, I am hoping for a miracle like all of us on here and would love to join and share the journey with you all. Any advice on when to take the tablet and what I might expect for first month?

Expect anything and everything tbh, PMS on crack was my experience of my first cycle, then clinically depressed but not PMS-ey symptoms 2nd cycle. Some ppl sail through the months tho, so dont get too worried about it.

I dont think it matters what time of day you take the tablets as long as you take them the same every day. Some take them at night so they sleep through some of the side effects, I never had any while I was actually on the meds tho, only from cd7 or so. It really does vary, but basically anything which is out of the ordinary, its most likely to be clomid.

My side effects were
Headaches
Hot flushes
Unquenchable hunger from CD3 to 10 or so
Moody
Tired
Severe depression
Had an odd period in between the cycles with massive clots in - the size of jelly babies.
Hmm, loads of other minor niggles. Im sure if you post on here if youre unsure there will be 10 ppl who have the same thing.

GL with it tho! Is hard but does often get the job done.

Thanks cranberry. PMS on crack - that made me laugh out loud! Still, if there's a chance of something happening on it I will put up with it all! Just waiting for AF to arrive so I can get started. Never thought I'd hear myself say that!!
