Clomid ....... have you??

[Tarkwa]

Morning ladies!
Dippy, CD is cycle day e.g. CD1 = first day of period.
Thanks for the tip Quaver - I literally take mine just before I got to sleep so will change it to when I eat my dinner now!

Hi, I wouldn't say I had an empty tummy, but I'm just glad I'm not on them now

 

[Dippyxdx]

I have to take pervera to have a cycle
gotta take my next pervera on the 1april x

 

[Dippyxdx]

Hi ladies,
just been Reading over everything and I've noticed that your all on 50mg of clomid, and I'm on 100mg

 

[Tarkwa]

Yeah, the normal starting dose for clomid is 50mg. Usually, if the blood tests on CD21 (or 7dpo) show that you haven't ovulated/didn't respond to clomid then they would up your dose. I respond fine so my FS said no need to change dose. It does seem strange that you are on such a high dose to start with. Who prescribed it for you? GP or FS? There must be a reason why .

He must know what he's doing then hun. If you're not sure of anything then you should ask him, after all, it's your body he's messing with. And they can why they are doing it. I think doctors do like to show off their knowledge sometimes when you ask them to explain, but I was laughing when I saw my first FS who showed us on cards what we should be doing to make a baby!!! You don't say - the man puts his willy into the girl's fanny, REALLY?!?!?! And then a sperm meets an egg and settles down for 40 weeks, well I never?!?!?!

[Dippyxdx]

Omg Neva lol
I'd have laughed too, we read we had t have sex every 3-6 days as it's to fire them off better lol but the docs at the time sed it's ok to have it ok anytime x
how long have u been tryin? X

 

[Tarkwa]

20 months chick (since June 09). When we first started I had all sort of problems - irregular periods (97 days was my longest cycle! I don't know how many sticks I pee'd on to see if I was PG!), Bells Palsy (which had to be treated with steroids) and then an op last summer to remove a kidney stone (they could have zapped it as the zapping machine was in the hospital that day (only there every two weeks or so) but because we were TTC the shock waves could do more harm than good). In between all that I've been trying to lose weight to help conceive and regulate periods and it's certainly helped with the latter. Just need to work on the conceiving now (which isn't a problem for my SIL who announced her accidental pregnancy at the weekend!).

[Dippyxdx]

Aww we started not far from each other as we started in feb 09, and I know how it is I've just found out my little bro gf Is pregs and so Is my little sister
3 of my friends have fallen on and friends on fb have fallen on so it's not nice is it
but we've just gotta keep goin and goin but this is are second baby and it will b well worth it all If/when it happens x

 

[Tarkwa]

I should add it was her SECOND accidental pregnancy. The first one was a complete and utter shock for them and she was crying for days (she had only just turned 23), but now she is 27 (28 in June) so I think a little less shocked by the whole thing. Her hubby doesn't have a job and she has only just started up her own business (financial advice type stuff). They had to sell their house during the first pregnancy and are in and out of both sets of parents' houses. They currently have their own place, but will be a matter of time before they need to move back in, but my MIL (her mum) would never allow it because of the stress it caused! Honestly, we are older & wiser, have secure jobs that are well paid, nice family cars, mortgage on a family house with potential (and permission!) to extend and much much more. It's just not fair. I bet she wouldn't even realise there are drugs out there like clomid to help people get pregnant! Raaaargh!

Just checking in. Last night I couldn't sleep and just very hot. These hot flashes are something. I am gonna take my last pill tonight. This is cd 6 for me. I don't feel any pain tho.

 

[KeiD]

hi all,

i haven't had any pains just hot flashes!! Will be glad when those stop, do they stop once you stop the tablets? (i took my last one yesterday)

got a scan on thursday to see how many follicles are growing! exciting stuff

my DH says i haven't been too moody - but i think he may be not telling the total truth on that one!

 

[missin_a_girl]

Keid- i also just took my last pill last night. i took 50mg 2-6. i dont feel any pain neither just hot flashes and extremly bad headaches... keep us updated on your progress.
