clomid club

[mscorduroy]

Hi ladies!

I'm on cycle day 5, and day 4 of my first clomid cycle. I'm taking 50mg days 2 to 6 this cycle, then having cycle day 21 bloods. If I haven't ovulated then I'm to increase to 100mg next cycle. I'm doing 3 cycles before I go back to the hospital.

So far, no side effects. I know that should be a good thing, but bizarrely, I feel a bit disappointed; it would be nice to have some indicator that I am swallowing the pills, y'know?

I am feeling quite positive at the moment - I have PCOS with very infrequent periods, so I really hope clomid will work for us.

Hope its ok for me to join this thread and nice to 'meet you all!

Liz

Morning
Hows everyone today I am trying super hard to hang to my PMA
XXX

 

[babyloulou]

Morning everyone! NOT a good start to the 100mg round- I seem to be an emotional wreck already! I had a massive barney with OH last night- I was in tears in bed- telling him how rubbish he was, etc... I now feel really sick, I have a headache and massive hot flushes at work. I feel constantly on the verge of tears (not good when trying to teach classes of challenging kids!) I even smoked some fags last night for the first time in months!

I was really hoping the side effects would give me a break- I know I've had them every month so far but I was thinking maybe, jsut maybe they might ease off the longer I was on the tablets- guess that was just wishful thinking! Looks like double the dose- double the side effects!!

How are you Claire? xx

 

[Rudeollie]

Aww Lou! Big hugs honey! It messes you up sometimes doesnt it?? I had it last cycle, had a massive scream hissy fit with DH. And then felt guilty and cried and cried all night! Horrid.......Bless you having a few fags! I dont blame you xxx

Clairy - Hows the urge going?? Wanting to test yet??? I have plenty of PMA for you hun xxx

 

[CLAIRYFAIRY]

Oh no Lou that sounds awful lets hope it works and you only have to take it this month.
I am ok thanks sleepy and a bit nauseaous (is that how you spell it?)but nothing really I am just trying not to get obsessed and keep away from anthing remotely stick like that I might be tempted to pee on.
LOL Claire x

Aww Lou, I completely understand how you feel, i was the same last week...and poor hubby was getting it from me...and emotions...goshhh yep i wanted to cry at everything and anything!!! So hun...deep breaths and it helps to talk and sometimes let it out...
OK Ladies, I am new here and not very good at the abbreviation so i apologize in advance!
Ok my story...My husband and i have been married for 7 years and never really used any birth control (we are both 31)...we started "proper trying" 4 years ago and we have been very unfortunate. Sept 09 I had a laporoscopy and i everything looked fine, they found a 'patch' in my uterus which they dont think is connected to my infertility tho...(i need to have a HSG done to have it checked out).
I am on my 2nd cycle of clomid day 13 now, i am taking 100mg and i went for my scan yesterday, Dr said it looks better than last time but theres no good news...basically there were some folicals but not big enough...(he was very vague) and as he was performing the scan I started bleeding...Ahhh!!!! He suggested it could be bleeding from the cervix...not sure (he said they can test for that, its just like a smear test) The only problem is that i have very irregular periods and now im thinking this may be it...and its confusing the hell outta me...i mean i dont know when im 'on my period' or that its just the cervix bleeding!!!!!
Oh and i have been feeling a little run down...have had a sore throat and runny nose since last Thursday, does anyone know if this could be connected to Clomid??
Anyways hes asked me to go in on Thursday for another scan and i guess i will know a bit more then!...
I wish you all loads of baby dust as they all say...Good luck and i hope we all have babies very soon!!
If anybody has any advise or knows what could be happening to me please message me...Thank you for taking the time to read this xxxx

 

[babyloulou]

Thanks girls. I don't feel any better to be honest as the day goes on! I feel so emotional. I had Friday off work because of it- I can't go home again! I can barely function though- and I still feel angry with OH even though he hasn't done anything- can't even bring myself to make the peace with him. I really want to go and smoke

 

[Simi78]

Hey Lou,
Does he understand whats going on and how you are feeling?
Remember he is apart of this too...im not sure if im helping at all!!!
Maybe have a chat with him later and have a cry too, it will help...making up is even better!
xx

 

[DragonMummy]

Oh poor you, Lou. I hope youre feeling better now. x

Am a bit worried about this month - last cycle I had ov twinges strongly pretty much every day. This cycle I have had it once for about 10 minutes and that's it. Am left side this month and the left is my bloated ovary so maybe I won't ov?

 

[Rudeollie]

Lou. I really really hope you feel a bit brighter soon honey xxx Hate seeing you so upset x

Dragon - I didnt have ANYTHING at all until I ov'd so dont rule it out just yet.....Early days!

SBB - Are you ok honey?? Havent heard from you in a little while xxx

Hi Ladies,

Can someone give me some advice, Do you class day one from one you spot or wait until you are heavier?

Thanks

 

[babyloulou]

He is absolutely brilliant- but I feel that bad that even my head and teeth ache! My teeth feel that on edge that I can barely get through each lesson! Can hardly have a month off work though

Yomo- CD1 is the day of an actual flow- not spotting! So if you were wearing a bodyform towel then blood would reach it in at least a light blood flow.
