clomid club

[Smile4me]

I know how you feel... I promised myself I would not be OC over all of this as I am with house cleaning etc.... I do not need an intervention I promise! lol
But DH and I said we would just take it one day at a time and if it happens it happens if it doesn't it doesn't... yea right!!! I am obsessed lol.. I try not to stress but all I think about is BABY and I want to try everything possible. I read more blogs and information than I ever though I would... It's addicting and I know if/when I get my BFP, I will be supportive and try and help as many people as possible!

As far as romantic... nah it doesn't sound romantic at all but hey how many days have you bd? I think it makes up for the tiny little procedure you will have,,, just go home and have a romantic dinner and give each other a massage...hehe

Should I be using Robitussin or something? I'm a little unclear on whether Clomid dries you up, or creates too much cm... Help, please!

 

[ttcbaby117]

caz- yeah I will try the grapefruit juice.....I wish i could use the preseed trust me...I love how it feels...but DH isnt having it .

 

[Smile4me]

yes, onlinedream, being this is only my second cycle, all that I have read use the generic robitussin with no letters after.. I used Wal Mart Equate brand three times a day, I also use Evening primrose three times a day as I read one success story with that regimine....

hi hun drink decaff green tea drink grape fruit juice and take the cough med and buy some preseed they should all help you x x x x

 

[babyloulou]

Onelildream- it dries and thickens up your cm. The cough medicine and grapefruit juice are supposed to help but never did anything really for ne (well they may have done internally but I never saw anything). I am obviously now a MASSIVE fan of Preseed! It was first cycle using so much at once- and my first bfp in nearly 6 years !

night girls xxxxx

 

[Onelildream]

THANKS! Will do. I'm not a tea drinker, but will try the Grapefruit Juice, cough med, and preseed. Can you get Preseed at the grocery store?

 

[lisaf]

I havent seen preseed at the drugstores. I ordered mine from Amazon. I never used too much of it... I kept it around basically for a substitute for lube when I wasn't exactly in the mood. I never used tons of it though, I used less than the tube says to use. If I had used too much and DH had to shower afterwards he would not have been up for using it again... and thats also if it didn't make it too slippery.
Though I'm not exactly a success story, lol so my method may be total crap.

I had fine CM on the first cycle of Clomid, next cycle I was still pretty good but had a lot of watery days and not as many EWCM days. Cycle after that things were not as good so I used the Robitussin and saw some improvement. The lower doses like the 50mg I was on are less likely to have a side effect on your CM... the longer you use it the more likely it is to interefere though.

ttc i wish i was relaxed lol.... It nice to no i dont have to do it but i kinda want to. Just cant get OH to come near me this month for some reason. Maybe he doesnt want to try this month but doenst have the heart to tell me. He said to me the other night its nice to no we dont have to have sex this month.

Charming!!!

Hope your well huni. xx

Thanks britt xxx

 

[VickyLou]

Oh and i used that conceive plus stuff during my second cycle and i hated it. It made me itch and its so runny but quite think. It feels horrible inside me and it didnt go down well with OH lol. I want to try the preseed but oh wont try it lol

 

[Onelildream]

Oh, I see. Thanks Lisa! Of course I hope to be pregnant on the first cycle, but if that doesn't work, I'll be on 100mg and monitored, and def trying all the add-ons to clomid like preseed and such! Thanks for all the support already, Ladies! I'm so happy to have someone that can relate!

 

[ttcbaby117]

Oh No Vic - I am sure he didnt mean it that way....men have a way to say things so wrong...even though they dont mean it that way. Bascially he was saying he was happy he didnt want to have sex on a schedule. At least that is what I hope.

Can anyone tell me about Evening Primrose Oil? I was thinking of trying that also.

 

[moonmama]

Hi! Just been reading the preseed debate!! I must be lucky then because my DH loves the stuff!

I'm debating whether to use clomid again this next cycle - it really did make me feel crap and I know I ovulate regularly so is it really that beneficial in girls who ovulate? I think my DH may strangle me if I'm as bad again - its like permanent PMT!

Congrats babylou - so lovely to see good news! xx

 

[VickyLou]

ttc i no he didnt mean it in a bad way.... im feeling shitty this month with no clomid feeling lost etc i need him to coem near me so i no hes not disappointed in me for letting him down not giving him what he wants. Might sound silly but its the way i feel. Cause i no all he wants from life now is a child. xxx

Cant help with primrose stuff hun nevr tried it. Im sure theres a thread on here some were. xxx

 

[lisaf]

moonmama - best way to see if Clomid is helping you is to compare day21 bloodwork with and without the Clomid... your progresterone should be a lot higher with Clomid which can make your lining better for implantation, nice stronger eggs etc.

My DH has expressed exhaustion with 'having' to have sex on certain days... it can be a lot of pressure. Of course we tend not to have sex any other time than my fertile window because we get so burned out so maybe your OH just needs a rest?
Tell him you need some cuddle-time... that just because you guys are taking a break doesn't mean you don't still need to feel close to him. --- he may think any attempt at affection is an attempt to lure him into bed for procreation.

I think the guys feel a little used at times, lol.

 

[ttcbaby117]

great advice lisa....that is probably all you need to do Vick!

 

[Onelildream]

Poor men! They complain when they don't get enough, and then complain when they get too much! I'm sorry, Vicky! It's nice to have a "break" but I don't think the thoughts ever go away, huh? You still can't stop thinking about getting pregnant...and he still can't stop thinking about having a baby! When I "took a break" with TTC my son, it was just as stressful as actively TTC, but that's me. I hope all goes well for you guys and your Hubby will find a way to not feel like a donor... My hubby often tells me he feels like one, too.

 

[VickyLou]

Yeah will speak with him tomorrow or try to lol.... thanks ladies. Always good to come here to put a smile on my face.

Appreciate it hunis

hugs xxx
