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

[yazzy]

Hey Girls, just popping in to say hi!

Caz & Bob sorry AF got you, I hope this new cycle is the one for you.

Baybeemz - good luck at your hospital appointment, I hope they come up with a good plan for you.

I took my first lot of clomid this cycle and today have just had my cd21 bloods done, its all being dealt with at the hospital so not sure if i'll find out the results. My cycles are long'ish - about 43 days sometimes longer. We conceived naturally last Dec but unfortunately had a mmc in Jan so the fs said to start clomid to give us a boost. I normally get ewcm but this cycle haven't had any and i'm not really sure if I did ovulate. Cd13 had a teeny bit of spotting and the start of some cramps around my ovaries then more cramps the night of cd15 and morning of cd16 then on cd17/18 my cp changed and I had some horrible pains on cd18 in the afternoon so thinking that may have been O??!!

Anyway not getting my hopes up because we only bd cd11, 13, 18 - OH didn't seem to get the importance of it that weekend!!

Hey ladies! Just wondering what your experiences have been with clomid and your AF's arrival? This is currently my 2nd cycle and i'm waiting for AF. I am cd 30 now with ovulation from cd15-17...i got my +opk on cd 14 but ewcm around 17. I'm thinking i'm late and have been having cramping since cd 21 and i just today started seeing a light beige (so light it cant be described as brown) on the tp today. My cervix is low and i think its open. Anyone had their cycles off with clomid? Last month i was 26 days and without clomid i'm usually no more than 31. The little spotting i had today isn't considered cd 1 is it? I'm just so afraid i'm going to miss the begginning of my cycle!!

You don't consider it cd1 until you have full flow from AF. And my cycles have been extremely screwy since I've been on clomid.

AF got me yesterday. I'm thinking of taking a break from the Clomid, since we can't afford another round of IUI. Good luck to the rest of you ladies this month.

Hi girls! well AF showed yesterday bang on time which im really pleased about as its my first period since my mc last month and usually the can be late after a mc but luckily the witch arrived on time
I'm not taking clomid this cycle i dont see the point even though i fell pregnant on my first round of it as i dont want to risk getting pregnant again then having another mc as i'm seeing my fertility consultant in 3 weeks time and i want to get my bloods checked out first before i carry on with the clomid as i really think this is the root of my problems and causing my mc's i just really hope they check my blood work for auto-immune diesease as then at least i know for sure and then be one step further in finding out whats causing me to loose my babies

hope your all well x

Hi ladies

May I join you please?

I am on my first cycle of Clomid, 50mg days 2-6. It's day 10 today and I've just returned from an ultrasound appointment, or the 'dildo cam' as I like to think of it

I asked to go onto Clomid because I have long cycles (anywhere from 33-49 days) and have a short LP.

My ultrasound today showed that I have follicles but there is no dominant one emerging yet, so I have to go back on day 13. Bit disappointed, kind of hoped that my O date would move from cd27-37 right back to a 'perfect' day 14!

Is anyone else having ultrasounds like this, and when did you spot your dominant follicle? x

 

[Coco14]

Sorry AF got you girls, good luck next cycle *hugs*

 

[caz & bob]

girls hope your all well afm been the gym been shopping going Chinese tonight for tea yumyum love it well my mum has just told me my cat has died gutted but i have had him since i was 12 and i am now 30 so hes had a good life x x x

 

[rosababy]

caz, so sorry to hear about your kitty. It never gets easier to hear news of your beloved pets.

Afm, I think af is coming. 3 days of cramps, and the brown spotting has begun. Sigh. My new RE said this will be my last round of clomid, so I guess that was it. Now, on to invasive testing. Yesss!!! Whatever. This sucks.

Hi and welcome! i get the ultrasounds every month for the past 2 months on cd 12. Last month i had 2! loads of fun! not!

I got my new prescription for clomid for the month of June. I'm now taking 100mg on cd 3-9!! He has added 2 extra days of clomid in hopes of stimulating more follicles. Hope it works this month. I'm not excited about the extra clomid, its already made me crazy! He also wanted me to make sure to start timing intercourse on cd 10 which i have been doing already. Next ultrasound will be on cd 14. This month i'm just going to relax and try my best not to think about things.

 

[caz & bob]

girls hope your weekend is a good afm got my soft cups tried putting 1 in and i couldn't let go of it haha to scared haha x x x x

rosa- how are you doing? what testing are they having you do? this is probably my last round of clomid, as well. my doctor referred me to a fertility specialist...so off i go to see him tomorrow. since i've already had most of the invasive testing, i suspect it's dh's turn...which will be a welcome relief.

I'm doing fine. I feel like I live at the RE though. I've had a regular exam and sonogram, another sonogram and cd3 bloodwork, just had a sonohystogram today, so far all were no big deal. However, Friday is the hysteroscopy and Monday is the hsg. Both say to take pain killers an hour beforehand, so that can't be good. I've heard both hurt, but hsg really sucks. So, I'm just going to pull up my big girl panties and take it like a man.

Have you had all of those tests, too? Did they hurt? After Monday, we come back in for another consultation and he tells us what he found (hopefully nothing!) and then hopefully move on to an iui. Hopefully my tubes aren't blocked.

 

[caz & bob]

girls hope your all well afm bloated today i am going to do opk in a bit well the body they drag out of the canal is a old man that's been missing since April x x x

 

[ldybeowulf]

According to my very positive OPK, I am Oing or about to! DH and I dtd last night, will do it again when I get off work tonight, and tomorrow to cover all possibilities. I plan on starting the progesterone cream on Saturday.

I hear you!! I just had my first appointment with the RE today...since I've done most of the testing, I'm in the clear this month, but will have all the ultrasounds, bloodwork, etc. for IUI next month. Turns out someone finally thinks DH needs some testing! I'm quite pleased, actually. They're doing a full work up on DH, bloodwork for every infection disease, and giving an antibiotic to be sure we don't have an infection. For the IUI next month, they want me to stay on the same dose of Clomid with the trigger shot, but add progesterone suppositories after the IUI.

Ummmmm not going to lie...the HSG was pretty terrible. I was in pain for like 3 days after. DH came with me, and I think it did wonders for him to finally understand what I had to go through with all of the testing. I recommend taking 4 Advil before...and then keep Advil with you throughout the day. I went back to work and was not so happy...you might want to stay home with the heating pad after. Also, no one prepared me for bleeding after. I had to wear a pad for the rest of the day and was bleeding quite heavily for a few minutes after the procedure. It's quick, though, which is it's saving grace. Put on your big girl panties and good luck!!

I've never had the hysteroscopy, but I imagine it's mostly cramping from opening the cervix. To be fair, I had cramping with the IUI because I have a very sensitive cervix...so maybe you won't have as much pain as I did. Have they sent your DH to a urologist? They're concerned that mine may have a varicocele because of his low motility (but apparently normal count and borderline morphology...all of which we were told was low).

 

[rosababy]

Dh has had one SA and has another one scheduled for end of June. He has low morphology, and average to slightly low motility but a HUGE count. He likes that. He's on several supplements, so hopefully they work. I'm prepared for the tests to suck. I'm not going to work after the hsg, so that's good. Tomorrow is the hysto...something. hystoscopy? Who knows. I hope I can bd a few days afterwards, so this cycle won't be lost. I have no idea when he'll want me to do an iui, HOPEFULLY this cycle, otherwise we have to wait until September. Out of town during both weeks that I'll be o'ing. But I'm not sure if I get my hsg done on cd11 that we can move quickly enough to do an iui that cycle. Who knows. Maybe the hsg will be enough to clear things out and make me pregnant.

Hi all, I'm on my second day taking Clomid. I seem to only have a little headache yet, hoping the side-affects don't get much worse!
