Clomid Virgin!

[pinkangel]

Hi All going a bit

This is my first round of taking clomid 50mg days 2-6.

Had internal scan on Monday right ovary was looking good with one follicle 13mm
Couldn't find my left one? Did in the end and was in my pouch of douglas (didn't even no I had a pouch of douglas until lap and they found lots of endo in there, if I loose my car keys again it's the first place I'm going to look!)Anyway...


Nurse told me to do OPK's this week and to BD this week as she thought I would ovulate.

Have been doing OPK but also using my CBFM. CBFM high for days 10, 11, 12 peak 13, 14, high 15. Have now read the instructions and saus that Clomid can stop it working.
Clearblue OPK has not given me any positive results. So I'm a bit confused.

On days 13, 14 did have EWCM not as much as usual but from my research clomid can effect this.

Nurse did say that if I don't get a positive OPK in a week to go back for another internal scan.

Just wondering if anyone has had the same experience???

From blood resutls I have had in the poast I do ovulate myself but my cycles are variable ranging from 25-28 days.

Sorry for the long post!

Hi, I don't use OPK's so I can't really help, sorry,

I just wanted to tell you what my FS told me, have sex every other day throughout the cycle andit will greatly improve your chances. He told me that all his patients that use OPK's are causing themselves more stress than is necessary and he believes them to be a waste of money. Lol.

I'm not saying they are a waste, many women swear by them, I personally chose not to use them.

I would go back for a scan a week after your last one anyway just to ease your mind.

Good luck. X

Hi PinkAngel.

I am cd 28 on my first round of chlomid. Same dose and days as you. I didn't appear to ovulate all the time by myself though.

I didn't have a scan, but used opk's. I had 2 faint lines days 9 and 10..... then days 15 and 16 I had the best lines I've ever had! In almost 18 months, I've never had anything like it. I did then get my cd 21 bloods done and got a result of 76, so I know that it worked.

I personally am going to keep using the opk's. My cm wasn't quite as much this month though. Well I say that, since O, I seem to be getting more, but hey ho, I'm just happy I O'd.

You know your body better than anyone else, so if you have concerns contact your GP. But I know that I appeared to have O'd later than expected. So maybe that's what is happening with you?

Good LUck.

This is also my first month on Clomid, I'm doing a couple of unmonitored cycles, same as you 50mg Cd2-6.

My reason for trying it is a bit different, in that I ovulate fine every month BUT, since I took some BCP 4 months ago (to change my cycle dates as OH works offshore on a fixed rota) I've been getting a delayed ov (Cd18-20) and a shortened LP. Still regular at 28 days with a 6 day AF but no good for TTC

All I'm really looking for the CMD to do, is bring my Ov forward to where it was before I messed with things (Cd12ish). I don't really expect it to help me get pregnant as this stage, we are going for FS and tests next month.

No SE to report so far

Hi everyone. I have been a lurker on these boards for some time now. Thought I'd step out into the light...haha. I am on CLOMID and use the CBFM. This months was my first cycle.

I am 36 and my husband will be 41 in 2 months. We have been TTC for 14 months with a lot of frustration.

My husband finally took his SA at the end of October (only took him 6 months to get up the nerve for that- said it was mortifying....can you imagine?? silly boy!). The SA was a 1.3. My OB said that was slightly low but nothing to be concerned with. (How can slightly low be nothing to be concerned with?)

I then went for the HORRIBLE HSG test. No issues there, either...except for the writhing pain and agony that was the test!! I should have known when the nurses shoved 2 pads and 3 washcloths under the changing room door that I was in serious trouble. OMG! I had terrible cramping and pain until my period started on 12/2.

I have been charting my BBT since the beginning (for over 14 months). I ovulate late, usually around day 20-22 and start my cycle over on day 28. I do ovulate, which is good but my luteal phase is terribly short.

My OB started me on 50mg CLOMID days 3-7. I started my 1st round on12/5. I also invested in the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor. I've had a lot of High days starting at CD9 but b/c I have been doing my BBT, I had a temp drop on CD16 (12/18). We BD on 12/18 but the monitor still showed it as a High day. On 12/20 I got my 1st PEAK reading and we BD again. My temps have shot up. I know I O'd somewhere between 12/18-12/21. I also have another PEAK reading today.

The issue here is that I have been having the WORST abdominal/uterus pain EVER! Feels similar to the soreness after the HSG. A lot of tugging and to speak frankly, it feels like my insides could burst onto the floor. The pressure is crazy. It is not constant. It comes and goes. Walking, sitting, lying down. The heating pad doesn't help the pain but it comforts me. I am moody and tired. I've had a few headaches. I feel nauseous after eating but it hasn't curbed my appetite. I'm a wreck, emotionally as well. I was given the Rx for the CLOMID with no further instructions except to take it on CD 3-7. I've heard this CLOMID can do crazy things. With all the symptoms I'm having, I've called my OB and I'm going in tomorrow for a blood test....I suppose to check my progesterone levels. If all is "normal", whatever that is, I will start a 100mg CLOMID cycle next month.

I really don't feel like I obsess with getting pregnant. I think others around me obsess about me more than I do. I'm the type that sees it as “I'll do what I can and if it happens, it happens, when it happens".

This weird stuff happening to by body and mind is driving me nuts, though.

Thanks for letting me vent and join in on the "party". At least here I feel like others kind of know how I feel. I know,

I'll keep you updated......

Fingers crossed for you hope the pain goes, i start clomid tomorrow after 5 years of trying so fingers crossed

The mystery pain is gone. Poof! Just like that. I woke up and I was pain free. Well, I'm still sore and I have mild pressure but NOTHING like yesterday and the day before. I suppose I was ovulating. I'm just happy I can walk upright again..... However, I'll still bite your head off in a second and spit it back out at you! I'm so pleasant to be around at this Christmas time....

I hit up my CBFM this morning with a reading of HIGH as expected so I guess ovulation is over. And as planned I went in for BW this morning. It was for Progesterone, I was told. I'll hear something about that maybe as early as tomorrow or next Tuesday b/c of the holiday. They went ahead and called in 100mg CLOMID, though. I am so apprehensive to take it since I felt so bad with just the 50mg. I told the lab nurses that my husband doesn't even like me anymore. They kept reassuring me that it's all worth it and I replied with "not if my husband doesn't like me and I have to do it all alone". Half joking....but half serious, too. I bet if we do some research, there is a CLOMID Divorce Group.

I am very tired today but I promised my nephew we'd go see a movie this evening so I'm on the hook for that. I just hope I don't fall asleep on him. Poor thing. I may lose my current Awesome Aunt title if I do. "Drool's not Cool!"

I guess now I settle in for my results and the TWW.... "Dear Sweet Baby Jesus- You could end all of this for us right now if only you would drop of load of babies on us!!! Your Biggest Fan, JDonn!"

Merry Christmas everyone! We will be traveling so I might not get to pop back in tomorrow.
