clomid club

[babyloulou]

I think it said 3 or 4 a day is good enough. The men should be eating them too- good for the sperm- and spinach for the men xx

humblebum- that's a lovely story about getting your little boy- and the good thing is that you know clomid works for you!! I ovulated on my first two cycles of 50mg but not very strongly- then the third cycle didn't work, so I have been upped to 100mg for the next 4 cycles. I'm 30 and TTC#1 with PCOS and slight male issues too. Welcome to our little club xxx

Hi all,
Welcome newcomers! Glad to hear that the 4th round of Clomid can be successful, but my doctor didn't up my dose, so I'm not sure I should get my hopes up.

Had quite a lot of cramping today... almost worries me that I have cysts or something else wrong. Don't usually O until day 15-18 though. Of course I have so little hope for this cycle that I keep forgetting to temp and check CM and everything. I even forgot to bring my OPK sticks in to work so I can do my 11am tests.. oops..

hello ladies, just wanted to stop by and say hi.
Lisa- I had very strong O cramps this cycle (normally I never do) and I ovulated quite early CD13 and I had taken Clomid on days 5-9, so you definitely could be O'ng early or gearing up to O soon. Fx'd for you hon

TTC- yeah!! so does that mean you O'd on CD15?? so you are 2dpo? yeah only 2 days behind me. Has your weather improved? we had great weather and now its totally lousy and suppose to get worse....agghh

Babylou- I see your CD8 already, that seemed to have gone by quickly.

Anyway, hello to all the Clomid girls and welcome to the newbees.
Nothing to report from me, feeling really hot though
hugs,

ttc - yeah I am thinking I did O...I will give you a more defo answer tomorrow!!!! Weather was absolutely gorgeous here today....seriously awesome....went to the beach and did my exercise instead of the gym....Ollie - no more bad weather...lol....

 

[moochacha]

Oh perfect can I join ladies? I'm taking my first round of Clomid 100mg currently on CD12.

I just started a thread in the TTC section because I've been having MAJOR cramps. On both sides, normally I ovulate CD17 without fail according to FF though I'm a slow riser I'm not sure if I actually ovulate on CD 17.

I have never felt Ovulation pains before this. I've tried researching it on the net but haven't came across anything useful.

hey moochacha hun,

I used to be on here and lurk from time to time and saw no one was on line to answer you so thought i would reply.

Strong cramping can be a symptom of taking clomid. i cramped from about 3dpo right the way through to AF. I also used to cramp whilst taking the tablets a little bit. Clomid actually brought my OV date forward to CD11 when it used to be CD14 so they recommend using OPKs from 5 days after your last pill to detect the surge.
I hope the pills work for your hunny.

Ours are a year apart then, Rachel - Harry is September 2006! I'm Lindsay btw, I just turned 30 on the 14th. We had problems conceiving Harry as we have pcos and mf issues but we didn't know then and were in theory NTNP. It took nearly 3 years with no help but we got him! This is my second cycle of clomid now and we have been ttc for a year - I came off the pill just before our wedding last year. xxx

 

[Simi78]

Aww DragonMummy, I hope it works for you this this cycle. I am too on my 2nd cycle I was given 50mg Clomid last cycle and 100mg this time. Went for a scan Monday and there were some good signs but then all of a sudden we saw bleeding, consultant says it could be coming from the cervix...hmm...anyways going for another scan tomorrow and nervous as heck!!! xx

 

[DragonMummy]

What's that all about then Simi? Never heard of that....

 

[Simi78]

Hi Dragonmummy, Its where you have inbetween period bleeding...and its from the cervix and not a period...its called Cervix Erosion...basically bleeds after intercourse (which is not always the case with me) and of course i bled that day coz they did an internal scan (I know its called something else but thats what i know it as)!
Dont really know too much about it...still working it all out...its just very confusing sometimes coz i already have irregular periods and now this will only confuse the situation even more..so yep i kind of felt like i was right back at the beginning on Monday...its never simple with me!! I am just praying tomorrow will be a better day with good news.
Where abouts in the country are you based? xx

 

[moochacha]

[baby_dixon]

Hey guys, I will be starting clomid my next cycle...what should I expect?

 

[babyloulou]

Hi girls- I wish I could say I felt better but the moodiness seems to be getting worse. I am so emotional! No I haven't made up with OH- we fell out again last night. I can't believe how I feel- the side effects were bad the last 3 cycles but nothing like this one!

Hope everyone else is OK today xx
