Clomid !!

[bmavery]

Hiya guys, am coming to join you. My story so far is thus: I'm Claire, 34 and married to my 2nd husband, the loml. I've been ttc forever, 5 years + with my ex and over 2 years with my dh. He already has a child with his ex and so we don't qualify for ivf in our area. The story with his ex and dd is a long and very arduous one but she basically hates me and won't let his dd have anything to do with me, which has put a strain on us and our ttc journey. His dd is his 'miracle baby' and sometimes that makes me feel very inadequate. Having a baby is primal need in me, yet he doesn't seem too bothered a lot of the time.

I'm currently 11dpo and started my first round of clomid this cycle. Have managed to link in my chart on my sig so pls feel free to have a look and tell me what u think.

I'm trying to remain hopeful that it will happen for me, but part of me dies every month when AF arrives.

Well that's me guys - sorry if Ive bummed u all out x

Welcome!!!!!! I know I joined because I ass needing more support as my husband feels ge needs to be manly and doesn't really care to talk ovulation, how many days past, or CM. I know its very disappointing to him as well. But I think he is staying stronge so I don't break down. Good luck and stay positive.

Day three of clomid!!! Oh man yesterday I gad this headache that seemed to be an annoying ache, it was just there all day, however no sign of that this morning but my boobs are achy so bad, I feel if you touch them I could cry! Two more days of pills, but we have alreadfy started doing the baby dance since I have always had AF visit for only a short amount of time, 4 days Max! So we jumped on the first chance we got since my dh has CQ, 24 hour duty fir those who aren't military, on Friday and that is prime to start the baby dancing!!! Dang army, always interferring one way or another!

Seems a few of us have very close cycle days! That is awesome!!! Cycle buddies!!

Lots of baby dust! And keep positive!!

Bmarvey we are nearly same in cycle my first month I had no symptoms an last month was a night mare spent most of it crying an emotional an taking everyone's head off. Hoping this month won't be same stared clomid this morn. Are you being monitored this month?? I'm also taking progesterone this month from 2 days past ov for extra support as my lp is failing. Good luck cx

Hi everyone,
I have been told to take 25mg of clomid by my fertility dr. also. I have taken it cycle day 3 - 7 last cycle and this cycle. I am also then taking progesterone pessaries after I have ovulated. I have lupus, but have also been diagnosed with short luteal phase (luteal phase defect) - the time after ovulation prior to these medications has been around 7 to 9 days. I also had an early miscarriage in July this year.
Last cycle which was my first cycle on clomid, I found that my underarms were very itchy during my fertile phase, and is starting to get that way again this cycle - talk about weird side effects. Also last cycle the days around ovulation I became very nauseous, with vomiting and diarrhea. I was worried and called the nurses at the fertility specialist office and they said I most likely caught a bug/virus. I am still suspicious whether I had hyperstimulation of the ovaries and will see if I have the same sort of effects this cycle. I am doubtful because my husband and son both did not become sick around the same time.
So, I do already ovulate on my own but they wanted to overcome the luteal phase defect and improve the quality of my eggs, which is why the low dose. I wish you all the best and hope to have some more information about my journey to help you with yours

Welcome new ladies, and good morning as well to my friends!

Stay positive girls, its hard we all know!!!! Day 4 on clomid and starting to think its not as bad as I thought it was going to be so very happy about that, tomorrow last day if clomid but I start my mucinex, so it seems that I will continue will pills Haha! But I guess I don't have time to really think if they have side affects unless they are huge since I have to get my boys to school and daycare, my dh off to work and my college. Not much time to notice them.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day and lots of baby dust for everyone!!!!

Welcome girls

[BabyBoyle]

Hi girls!

I'm joining you all!

I start clomid after this coming AF in a few weeks.

I won't be being monitored so just hoping it gives me a boost.

I have been TTC since feb 2010, got BFP in October 2010 and had a girl at 17wks with turner syndrome who didn't make it. My story is on here in previous posts.

After many people saying they fell quick after a loss, I had my hopes up.

Now it will be a year on 7th feb it's taking so long.

Here's hoping this helps!

Lots of baby dust to everyone!!!! Xxx

 

[cbmd]

Hey babyBoyle...im sure I remember u from bnb before...we're you retraining to want to be a midwife. Im on my first ever round of Clomid x

 

[BabyBoyle]

Hi I remember your name x x

Yes I was, put on hold at the mo as was hard, but working as a carer for the elderly. Currently with the woman who delivered the queens children and who delivered Harry n William. She is incredible! Lots of stories and advice!

How are you finding the Clomid? I'm excited but nervous..!

 

[cbmd]

babyboyle- wow thats amazing...your avatar is great by the way...i remember you saying you were going to get that done!
I dont know why im not very optimistic about clomid.....although im willing to give it a good go! took first tablet this morning - felt a bit weird this afternoon - bit hot and tired but im probably paranoid looking out for symptoms when i normally wouldnt!
ive got 3 months at 50mg to try then i have to go back to specialist....im not being monitored either....hows your year been? have the docs any idea why u might not be conceiving?
ive got pcos, no periods and elevated fsh levels - or something like that!! theres always something new to find x

 

[Bugbabe77]

So joy of all joys, the clomid starts again tomorrow. Have warned family and dh that
I will be a bitch for the next couple of weeks (well, more than usual) and hope that this is the one. Fx.

Baby dust to all xxx

 

[BabyBoyle]

I guess is good though as you know what's happening and this may help!!

They think possibly the same, so I'm hoping this makes a difference. I'm on cycle 12 since Madison was born and no luck at all. Not charting or temping, just DTD regularly..

Cycles range from 26-35 days, not regular at all, so hoping this will shorten them a bit too, gonna buy stocks of tests!!

Think I'm gonna take mine before bed and hope the symptoms are minimal.

Had to go to two Drs the first wouldn't even consider helping for ANOTHER 6 months and still preached about how young I am etc (25 this year..) made me feel So patronised!!!! X

 

[trying hard]

Crystal Have you got your blood results back yet? How did it go? And has the bleeding tapered off yet... Thinking of you hun


How you doing Jessica?


Karen On clomid my AF is horribly heavy too. Normally it is just a medium flow for 2days then next to nothing for 3 days after that but last month I bleed heavily for 5 days then it didn't completely go away for another 3 days after that!!! YUCK

Welcome to all the new ladies here :wave: My name is Sarah.
I hope your stay here is a short one.

claire... you feeling better today?

Shelly are you taking a b6complex to help your LPD too? My first month after I realised I also have LPD I started taking B6 as well as my clomid. 100mg per day before 0 and 150mg after O and took my lp from 9 days to 15. Last month I dropped it down to 110mg through the whole cycle and I had a 13 day LP. Totally worth a try!

Bmavery I usually start getting my side affect around 4 days after the first pill. This month however the hot flushes have started already. Fun times!!

Baby boyle and cbmd... Hoping one cycle will be enough for you both. lots of luck and baby

 

[Bugbabe77]

Hey Sarah - well, my AF is really heavy - as per usual - and very painful too - again as per usual. Dunno if feeling better is really how I am but I'm focused on starting round 2 tomorrow. I'm just worried cos the fs has only given me 5 cycles but I know we can't get ivf on the nhs and so I don't know where we go after if the clomid doesn't work. We can't afford to go private and so I guess I'm screwed if this doesn't work. Add to that an insensitive husband and his bitch of an ex and I'm ready to kill - and that's before the clomid SE kicks in!
