Seeing all these BFP announcements has made me super excited to get his show on the road! I do have a couple questions if anyone can help!
- Why are women told to take the Clomid on different days? CD 2-6,3-7,5-9???
- Are you going to use OPK's? or CBFM?
I was also curious as to how long you all have been trying and if you have unexplained infertility, PCOS, etc?
I have PCOS, my cycles have been crazy since June 2010. We thought it was related to working in a very stressful work environment... but after I went on stress leave and eventually quit my cycles didn't straighten themselves out. Ive been anywhere from 26CD-77CD (last month was 30!!) WOOP WOOP!! I feel like AF should be here any day... I was on Metformin from August - November, I took December off as I was experiencing terrible side effects and needed a break.
I hope Clomid is the answer to our prayers!!!
Omg I just wrote the longest response ever and it got deleted somehow grrr...here goes again...
I'm not sure on the exact reasons for different cd to take clomid...I have heard it has something to do with your cycle length and what day you O since clomid can cause delayed O. I also have heard that the earlier you take it Your cycle the bigger and greater quantity follies you can get?
I will be using opks, I have read that they can be misleading when you have pcos? but that's my method of madness for this first cycle
Dh and I tried for 5 years to get our daughter. We did 3 rounds of clomid the stopped because of the side affects and my moodiness lol and then 3 cycles later conceived her naturally! I think my body just needed a jump start!! They say I have pcos but only the part where I have irregular 1+ year cycles and I don't O on my own. We have TTC #2 for 2 years now, finally just found a new dr that would listen to us and help us the way my old RE did!!
I have been on Metformin since August Nd no luck with that alone since I don't have a period on my own so I have been taking provera every 30 days to jump start my period and this will be my first month taking provera, Metformin, and clomid....I'm soooo excited!! As bad as its messing with my guts inside already I'm looking forward to hopefully O'ing and getting that BIG FAT POSITIVE
