clomid club

[SummerLily]

Hi ladies , hope you dont mind me joining you over here!

Im starting my first round of clomid today ! (50mg cd2-6) although im not having any bloods or scans done throughout.. was prescribed it for 6 months with the intention that if it has not happened in the 6 months to go back and see him in month 7 where we would then be refered for assisted conception. Hubbys SA was normal with a slightly reduced number of 'normal forms' and my bloods came back slightly on the low side with regards to ovulation ( i do not ovulate very month) . Is it best to take it this evening ? and when would you suggest starting OPK's?? sorry for the questions !!

Gl all those still in the clomid making !! xx

Hi ladies,

I also have a question for you lovely clomid ladies!

CD15 yesterday but i have had positive OPKS since cd 13 yesterday i had strong cramps which i thought could have been ovulation pains yesterday (cd15) and since cd11-15 i have had lots of water cm. I thought maybe i ovulated yesterday but i got up today and did another opk and got another strong positive.

I cant understand why i keep getting so many pos opks! Surely they should be neg by now. DTD from cd13 to 15 so far, i dont no when to stop now, my oh needs a rest!!!!

Hi. Will try to answer some

Cd 1 is when you wake up with full red flow. So if it starts at night, next day is cd1.

You can take clomid any time but make sure ita at the same time each day. Some say evening means you sleep through some side effects

They say you can ov as quickly as 5 days after finishing clomid so I'd start sooner rather than later, like cd 8 to be sure

The positive opk may be from the pcos, it gives false positives. Or you could be just having a super long surge. Either way keep at it!

Gl all

Hi ladies, just had my CD12 ultrasound - saw 2 beautiful follicles at 19mm! Pretty amazing cos I usually ovulate only at CD16 earliest, so I was really surprised at the size. Must be the clomid magic! So the doc gave me a trigger shot and I'm scheduled for IUI this Wed, keeping my FX'd!

wicked clomid can shorten your cycle so thats not unusual for things to develop earlier than usual. fingers crossed for some strong swimmers after theyve had their bath!

Thanks as normaly AF can last 7days so will this shorten? So full flow today CD1 today...

 

[cranberry987]

Not sure about that one, some say that taking the clomid makes af dry up earlier than usual.

ps, working from home today, so will be on here a LOT

 

[laura_2010]

hehe thanks.... What job do you do? Think id like that lol...
Iv jst checked my dates and CD21 will be a sunday... soo wen shud I get bloods taken? x

 

[cranberry987]

Monday if you ovulate on cd14 I reckon. Use opk tho to confirm this.

Im an interpreter, so waiting for clients to call. today i will mostly be on amazon

Id call your prescriber to check. They generally say you have to wait for full flow, but thats obv with a more regular type cycle. If you cant get through to a consultant, ask your GP. Mine can usually get through to talk to someone if I cant.

Hey Laura, I took clomid for the first time this cycle and my AF shortened from 7 days to 4 days, and my follicles are growing faster than usual. My reproductive system seems to be on steroid!
