**Clomid Girls** ~ Updated ~ 11 BFP'S AND COUNTING!!

[Pdwife]

Hiii, I started clomid 2/12/11 First round, 50mg days 3-7. I don't always ovulate on my own. I did until we were TTC...weird, now it is a hit or miss...so I am hoping that this month I would have ovulated naturally and clomid made me "super" ovulate lol. I O'd on CD 16 according to fertility friend & my temps...heres to hoping a in 10 or so days

any of you ladies know if after ovulation cramps are normal with clomid? I never cramp and this cycle ovulation was crampy and each day after. The after cramps aren't too bad but definitly noticable...

Hi, I took clomid for the first time last month, 50mg, but sadly no luck .
So have done a second cycle, OV test showed a smiley face on Sunday, so all systems go go go this week!
Just a question, I have been prescribed 3 months / cycles of clomid 50mg. If the worse comes to the worse and we have no luck within the 3 months, can you take clomid for longer? Just confused as a friend said "oh I don't think you can take clomid for longer than three months, or certainly not without a break".
I don't know if anyone else feels the same, but I'm a realitively intelligent girl (who can't spell!) 38, but have to say the whole ttc is a mystery. Thank goodness for this site, I've learnt lots. After spending most of my adult life hoping I wasn't pregnant each month, now when it comes to trying I feel that I have no idea how my body works, what I should be doing and when. I really should have paid more attention in Biology!
Thank you site members for being a bottomless pit of info and tips xxx

Hi Daisymay!

I know that Clomid treatment is given on a limited basis, but Im pretty sure 6 months is the usual limit. Is your Doctor monitoring you at all during the treatments? A lot of docs do scans around Ovulation time to check follicle size and stuff. Mine isnt, but many do.

My doc is having me come back after only two months to discuss where to go from there if the 2 cycles dont work. Hopefully it wont come to that but...


BTW...another lady on here posted a Documentary from www.youtube.com
called "The Great Sperm Race." You really should check it out!!! Its entertaining and actually extremely educational!!!

I always have had some discomfort at Ovulation time, but the Clomid definitely made the cramping worse, and yes it did last several days after, so Im guessing (and hoping) thats normal.

Hey Daisymay72!
Just was reading your conversation and my very first dose of clomid was 50mg, i did that for 3 cycles and got nothing but BFN. And wiith no break my Dr bumped me up to 100mg and i got a BFP on my very first round on that dose! Had a healthy pregnancy & had my son, So i dont know much about taking breaks my Dr just kept me moving right along without question. So hang in there you may just need a higher dose! Hope that helps!

Hey daisymay, First time I was on clomid for 19months, I think it just depends on the circumstances and Specialist. Good luck xx

 

[x0xbaybeeemz]

Hiya, could you put a BFN next to my name please. they wont be a chance that i am pregnant because left it way too late Hopefully next month ill get a BFP

Pd, I usually o myself too, but not mature enough eggs. So, I'm hoping clomid gives me "super eggs" too! That was hilarious! I've had some minor cramps, but I haven't o'ed yet, so I don't know about after o. The side effects do say cramping, though.

Daisy, the length of your prescription depends on your doctor. My doctor said if it doesn't work by the 5th cycle, he'll find something else that will work for me. He said we could also take a break from it and try it again later. Totally depends on the doctor, sounds like.

Anyone else having massive hot flashes? I take Clomid at night and wake up sweating in the middle of the night!

 

[sportymom]

Rosababy, yes hot flashes on my end too! I take mine in the early morning but still experience flashes throughout the day...tomorrow is my day 9, last dose of clomid...cant wait to start trying! Cant be here fast enough!

 

[rosababy]

I only took them at night because I got them in the afternoon and wanted to start them that cycle. But man aLIVE! These hot flashes SUCK! I can't imagine having them all day! Hey, if that's the worst that happens, and we get our baby, I'll deal! That's about it for side effects, though. Some little cramps, but nothing serious.

I'm cd10 now, so we start bd'ing tonight, every other day. It's too early today, but we gotta whip those in shape!

 

[sportymom]

Yea i hear ya i started mine right away 2! Luckily i dont get the flashes all day & like u said whatever we have to do to get our babies! My days to try are next mon thru weds, my dr told us to hold off until those days. I bought a bunch of ovulation tests online so im going to test those days to make sure im ovulating. Hope this is all our month!

YES!! I am glad it's not just me. It can be freezing outside and I am sweating, and I wake up in the middle of the night sweating too. Wierd!

x0xbaybeeemz sorry to hear that hun but you are not out yet until 11th March so FX'ED for a

well cd15 today still no sign of ovulation cbfm been reading high from cd8 and the cheap internet opk's are still negitive hope i get a possitive soon..... to be honest i just want to see that i am in fact ovulating then it will make me alot happier because this is why i am on the clomid to see if i ovulate as blood tests in the past and iregular cycles looked like i wasnt ovulating but the last few cycles have been regular so doctors think because of my weight loss my periods are going back to normal and therefore i should be ovulating......i'm waiting and praying for that possitive opk......come on eggy!

 

[Fritty]

[monalisa81]

Sorry for the witch hun!

[Tititimes2]

Faint at 11 dpo. I was hoping for a dark line but I'll take it! It was definitely there on the FRER!

 

[x0xbaybeeemz]

I dont even think i ovulated!
Iv been using cheapies to test, so i tested on off from CD10 and CD10 there was no line at all, couple days later it was abit darker so i assumed i was going to ovulate soon then the line started getting light again then i gave up testing, but i also didnt get any symptoms like ovulation cramps or anything

 

[nlz2468]

Fritty sorry to hear that i hope cycle 2 does the trick and you get your bfp FX x
