Clomid symptoms

[brooklyn1]

no, I don't blame you at all. I'd be the same way. It's too hard to get your hopes up when everything is so uncertain. All you can do is wait until tomorrow.

Hey, I've been offline most of the day. Anyone seen BizyBee? I think she had her second beta today. xxx

Hi reallyready, have a look at her journal, she has posted an update on there,

Hope you get your results today and it comes back with a big fat BFP!!!

Fingers n toes crossed!

I have still got major AF cramping, but no AF, so she may not be coming early just playing with me ready for next week

 

[MillieMoo]

RR, i really hope its a BFP for you!

Kiki, maybe the cramping is from something else!! Have you tested again yet?

 

[Kiki09]

Tested yesterday with an another 10miu internet cheapy and got a fat BFN! have bought a first response yesterday so might test tomorrow as it says they can be used upto 5 days before AF is due.. I dont feel like its my month to be honest, these cramps are identical to AF cramps only stronger no other symptoms at all...

 

[brooklyn1]

hi everyone,
Kiki, I'm sorry about the bfn...did you get your first response test yet?
Reallyready, have you gone to the doctor yet today? I'm sure you're looking forward to resolving this suspense one way or the other. Let us know...
Bizybee, I hope you're doing ok today.

As for me, I'm on day 5 of clomid round two, and cd7. I'm not having as many side effects this time around, just more tired than usual. My temps are all over the place though! Does anyone else have that on the days that they are taking the clomid?

 

[reallyready]

good god, i'm going nuts

thanks for checking in bklyn.

the doctor who needs to approve someone giving me the results is busy and i was told i "need to be patient" (really you just said that?) because they won't know when she will be able to review my results and give the clear for someone to tell me.

this a.m. they said to call at noon so i just called. so now i don't know when i'll hear.

[reallyready]

oh and bklyn i think i remember reading that temps raise on clomid. mine did too i think once or twice.

 

[brooklyn1]

thanks RR...god, that's crazy that you're still waiting. keep us posted.

 

[reallyready]

SURPRISE, I am NOT pregnant!

What a crock this all has been.

Am just glad not to take the progesterone tonight so my AF can finally arrive.

And am really glad to be changing Dr's now after all this mess.

I've never had a cycle longer than 33 days.

 

[brooklyn1]

Ugh, I'm sorry RR. At least now you can start thinking about finding a new doctor and moving forward. Let me know if I can help in any way- I've talked to some people about the different RE options in NYC.

 

[reallyready]

Hey Bklyn thanks
She is referring me to an RE named Dr. John Zhang. Is he on your list? I have my first appt for Sept 27th.
After the initial shock and crying spell, I'm feeling much better. I knew the whole time I wasn't but I had that little little tiny flicker of hope still and so I had to knock it out with tears this afternoon.
Just stocked up on B6, Evening Primrose Oil and Raspberry leaf tea. About to drink a ginger brew cause it should help bring on AF and I'm on RESET.

But seriously, I just told DH that I have about 6 more cycles left in me. I just don't know how much more of this I can handle.

[brooklyn1]

RR-
I think I have heard of Dr. Zhang, is he at new hope fertility? If so, my acupuncturist mentioned that place. I was thinking about checking them out myself. I think they offer mini ivf which is with less expensive and invasive drugs- like ivf with clomid...Definitely let me know what you think!
I hear you about wondering how much you'll be able to take. I can't sustain it either but I'm trying to take it month to month for a while.

 

[reallyready]

Yes, it is New Hope Fertility up by the Frick. I'll def. keep you posted. I'm a little nervous. I made the appt just to get in, but I haven't resolved 100% that IVF is the route for me. Remember I'm in denial that I have infertility, I'm thinking it is just taking a little longer than usual.
I've got a lot of reading to do this wkend.
How is acupuncture for you? Does she have you drink those earthy thick teas? Are they helping your cycles? I kinda liked zoning out on the table.

 

[Kiki09]

Hi RR, its good to see that you are getting some expert help, f'xd this gets it sorted for you

My AF started last night, clomid has shortened my cycle and made my AF much heavier, so that has to be a good thing!?

Anyone else noticed any difference in the AF/cycle length with clomid?

Here comes round 2!!

Here comes round 2!!

Mine normal cycle is around 33 days but the clomid made it 30 days. Did not affect my ovulation day i.e. day 16. So it shorten my luteal phase to 14 days but I think that's fine. My FS said it can make it longer or shorter. I don't think it made my bleeding heavier or lighter, length of time bleeding was pretty much the same also. Good luck KiKi, I am at round two of clomid at CD 14 :-D

Just so u know, I was extremely depressed on round two of clomid but after I was done with the last pill, I am back to my normal self. Just in case you have to go through the same thing, u will get back to normal :-D Apparently all these bad side effects are signs that clomid is working...

 

[MillieMoo]

Well now AF has arrived you can get onto round 2.

I found that clomid shortened my cycles (thank god) and made me bleed longer but less of it.

I also noticed that the second round of clomid made me really moody. Even dh said to me that the pills i was taking were making me horrible! I felt irritable the whole time and as soon as i stopped taking them i was back to my normal self. So just warn your oh that you may be a monster for bit!

 

[brooklyn1]

I actually found that my cycle lengthened (from 26 days to 29) but af was shorter and lighter...hmmm. It worried me a bit, so I think I'll ask my FS about it when i go in for my scan tomorrow.
I also found myself very moody while taking clomid for the second round. I was getting teary all week! I was also very very tired for most of the week. But I'm feeling better now that I've stopped taking the pills...now I'm on cd10, so getting closer to O. Hopefully there's good news about follicles at the scan tomorrow.
It does seem like our clomid club/clomid symptoms girls should be getting some serious BFP's this month.
Fingers crossed for all of us!

 

[little_e]

aww... i feel good that two ladies here are the same as me in regards to 2nd round clomid and turned into a different person whilst on the tablets, wish someone told me before hand so i didn't get so scared! good luck to us all 2nd clomid round girls!

btw has anyone here heard about softcup/mooncup/divacup? i am going to try it if this run doesn't work...

 

[reallyready]

When on Clomid my AF was short and heavy, instead of its usual long and heavy.

It seems my cycle length extended a bit but then in the last cycle that was due to progesterone, not the clomid.

I did get a simple cyst while on Clomid. (oh joy!) which I hear is common. Anyone else end up with a cyst? I hope it is clearing away now.

Seriously. BFP September, com'on!
