Clomid Virgin....Team Destined 4 Success!

[tryingforange]

Hi, im new to the forum but just wonder if someone could help with a question please.

I have pcos and unfortunately do not have regular cycles im lucky if i get one or two a year. However i started my first round of clomid on the 17th Febuary and I ovulated on day 17,18. This was confirmed with the bloods taken for progesterone level, before I started clomid my progesterone was only 2.7 after the blood test it was at 17.9 my consultant told me this was still a little low but said she wasnt really worried confirmed i had indeed ovulated. I have been told to just inform her if i get my next period.

This is the question, because i dont get regular cycles I do not know how long my cycles are. If I ovulated on days 17.18 when would be my date for the menses to start. Does anyone know. I was told to add 14 days which meant i would have 32 day cycle or 33 is that right. Does anyone know.

This is driving me mad and im so tired all the time from the stress of it all, we have been trying for over 8 years and only just got the help last month, but im pretty much left on my own to find out what to expect etc, and just feel like giving up already. Could anyone please help.

Sorry to rant and ask

Hi and welcome

I think that it is right that you add 14 days from when you ovulated.

I don't have irregular cycles though - so not sure. There are girls on here that do so they may be able to help you more. Didn't want to read and run. X

Hi Jocr - I have PCOS and was started on clomid which I took for 3 months. I ovulated on 2 cycles but it did not result in a BfP so my specialist referred me for a lap&dye. When i woke from the op the specialist adv that he had also done ovarian drilling where he basically drilled small holes in my ovaries and it is suppose to hlep me ovulate all on my own! My tubes were clear but he did also laser away some endometriosis which i didn;t know i had. He also told me to continue using clomid to increase my chances 6 months following the op. I believe that the op has worked as i had af exactly 28 days after my last af which was about 2 weeks after the op! I am really hoping that clomid is going to work this time. My OH also has issues with morphology being only 5% but count and mobility are normal. I can see that you in the tww; i really hope it works for you this month. If you don't mind me asking - why are you taking clomid and how are you finding it? x

mcnicks - How long were you off work for after the Lap & Dye? I should be having a LAP sometime in the next 8 weeks and not sure how long I should be off for?
Good that they delt with everything that they could in one go when you were under. Great that it seems to have sorted out your cycle too.

So how long have you been on the clomid in total?

I was given clomid 2 months ago by our fertility dr because I asked for it. He isnt very good at offering anything & he gave me 3 months worth. I have found that I am really rather PMT ish on clomid, this month for the first 2 weeks but seem to be ok at the moment.
So far my HSG, scan & DH sperm are all fine and all test results except poss clymidia antibodies. Which the dr thinks may have scared my tubes - hence the lap soon. Oh yeah the person that did my ultra sounds at the GP's said she thought I had signs of PCOS but my fertility dr doesnt think so re blood test results!

Lots of luck

Hi - you rant as much as you like
I think you are absolutely right and i would say you seem to be having a 32/33 day cycle. It may take a little while to get regular on the clomid but I have heard it really helps.
My fertility dr is useless at explaining anything too and doesnt seem to tell us anything. This is another reason why B&B is such a great place to talk to people and get advice and know youre not alone in all this.

hey hon welcome

I have pretty irregular cycles and my LP also changes from month to month - I would say expect AF any time from 10DPO to 14DPO and you should be covered - it may be worth charting your BBT whilst on the clomid so that you can keep track? I hope the clomid does the trick for you hon - I have been ovulating since taking clomid (albeit a little randomly!)

Hi Jocr -I had the lap&dye on the 2nd March and went back to work Mon 14th March so a week and 2 days off work. However, I felt fine after 4 days and could have gone back to work on the mon following the op. I wasn't really in much pain at all but I felt bloated and the stitches were pulling a bit. You will be absolutely fine I was surprised at how quick I recovered. I went in at 7.30am and was home by 3.30 and my OH was able to stay with me all day (apart from when I was in threatre of course) which was great.I was really glad that they did everything whilst they were in there and that I don't have to go back for another one.

This is officially my 3rd round of clomid but 1st round following OD so this is a fresh start got me. So far I have no real side affects apart from a few spots but today is only day 3! I didn't find out that I had PCOS until Nov last year when I had an ultrasound - I have very irregular cycles anywhere between 29 and 43 days but no other symptons. Good luck with your lap&dye but hopefully you will not need it and you will have your BFP beforehand. Feel free to ask me anything about the lap if you have any questions x

hey ladies

Im waiting for AF to show up today shes definately on her merry way! Then onto the next cycle - have got an appointment at fertility clinic on 5th May so am writing a list of questions to ask this time round I think last time I was so focussed on getting clomid it was just like job done when they gave it to me - wheras this time I feel I know more and can have a proper discussion about things - hopefully

am having more random ewcm-ness I mean its nice to get ewcm as i know some ladies dont get ewcm -dont get me wrong - but it does seem a bit bonkers

Really helpful info.

How are you getting on with this round of clomid - feeling ok I hope?
I have my apt next tues so I assume I will just be giving the DR the ok to put me in for the LAP. Really need to get this done asap so we can see whats going on in there (is anything). xx
