Clomid !!

[trying hard]

I hear ya!!! Im cycle 3 now and have been told I'm only allowed 6 cycles. I got sent a script for my next 3 cycles (50mg)but I am so tempted to tell them it didn't arrive so if all 6 cycles don't work I'll take 100mg as a last ditch effort and have a spare 50mg cycle if that doesn't work. I'm getting scared now that clomid wont fix me. We can not afford to do IVF privately either and won't qualify for public funding until we have been trying 5 years as I am unexplained and Sam's SA was good.

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

Tryinghard.....I had really bad cramping for a few hours after we did the baby dance but have since tappered off! Very moody and snappy now! Good thing its close to bed.
time.for evetyone

Hi Sarah, yes I am taking vitamin B6 aswell. I tried a lot of natural stuff before going to the fertility dr about the short luteal phase. Thanks for the tip though, it is good to have that sort of information. Initially 2 drs told me that short luteal phase was impossible or very rare, but after I did the bloods they requested, it confirmed the LPD - thank goodness

It is good to hear about everyone's stories too. Good to know there are other people out there having similar experiences.

Good morning everyone, final pill was taken about 30 minutes ago! In a great mood now and I get the day to myself as I don't have class so lite of studying and test taking to pass the time or I just might be a numb and take a nap and relax. Who knows!!

I did start taking mucinex today as well, I git the 1200 Mg ones as that's all they had,has anyone else tone the mucinex? My doctor told me about it so hopefully it works!

Its so awesome we are relatively on the same cycles and we can keep each other going! Stay positive ladies, chins up and we got this! We are determined and will succeed! Baby dust!!!!! And smiles!!!!!

 

[Bugbabe77]

so just to get this clear in my head - where is everybody on their cycle this month? I'm CD2 - 1st clomid tab today.

 

[BabyBoyle]

I'm so glad there's others same kind of dates too, encouraging for support!!!

AF is due in 8-10 days for me so about 2 more weeks til I start my first one!!! X

 

[cbmd]

Hi lovely ladies
My journey is several steps behind yours, we have been trying hard for 18 months with no success, I've had the whole, its stress, dont worry, relax, it'll happen etc! My cycle ranges from 28 days to 40 days so impossible to work anything out, lost 1 stone in weight, doing more exercise, taking all the right vitamins, eating plenty of veg, anything I can do without going to the doctors I reckon I've had a go at! Have been putting off going to the doctors as my best friend has recently had IVF which resulted in a miscarriage at 11 weeks and I dont know that I am strong enough to handle that! Finally went to the doctors in November when I had a period with such bad pain that all sorts of things went through my head, all was ok (although still think it was very odd!) doctor told me to go back on day 5 and 21 of my next cycle for blood tests.Chickened out AGAIN before christmas however, have decided that I am fed up of this disappointment and I need to take my head out the sand!! I am going to go this cycle and have some blood tests and hubby is going too. Was online researching the various things that we may be offered, may happen and came across this forum and your thread. It really struck me how lovely you all are and I just wish you all so much baby dust!!!! You have given me hope that I can cope with whatever comes our way and we just need to go and see what our options are. I feel much more positive after reading your thread and whilst I dont know if I'll end up on the same path as you guys I just wanted to say Thank you and I hope 2012 is a very positive year for us all!

 

[Shelley83]

I am on cycle day 12, which is the start of my proposed fertile period. Lots of BD over the next week I think. I have been getting a bit of bloating and sore tummy already, so I hope I do not have the same side effects as last time (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). I see my fertility dr. next week too to see how it is all going. Good luck to us all!!

 

[trying hard]

Crystal... Jessica....... are you still out there?

 

[cbmd]

welcome babydust - your definitely in the right place! you are doing the right thing going to the doctors, me and my oh tried on our own for ages like you, we are both young (ish) healthy and fit..however it turned out i had pcos and one of my other hormones fsh was a little bit high, i was given these tablets to bring on my period for a few months, it was really straighforward and somehow miraculously i conceived after years of trying. unfortunately that hasnt worked this time hence why im now taking clomid, but i know for sure if i hadnt been so insistent with docs there was a problem i wouldnt have my son today, and i know he might be the only son i might have so i know how precious he is.....so get yourself to the docs, its not scary at all, sometimes its a relief to find a solution the the problem!

I cant believe how much this clomid has screwed me up this month!!!
I have a constant headache, I have been as emotional as you can imagine. just cant shut my mouth! Poor Sam. The hot flushes are worse than ever. I was at a baby shower yesterday and a friends mum was "Sarah whats wrong with you, always taking your jumper on and off" And I just blurted out that I'm on fertility drugs and they are screwing with my body. That shut her up quick smart. I hate that baby showers are a free for all, no tact required. Everybody being nosy and telling you that your daughter must be getting pretty old and it is well and truly time for another!!!

Sorry ladies as you can tell I'm in an awful mood and we have two toddlers birthday parties today so it will be more of the same again.

So saving the absolute worst till last, The clomid has been giving me really vivid dreams and last night Madelyn got into bed with us as she often does in the mornings. (I say mornings but it is more like 5am or something stupid like that)
So anyway back to me being a horrible person.... I can't remember what I was dreaming but I ended up biting my little girl really hard on the arm while I was asleep only to wake up to her screaming and me trying to explain what the hell I has just done. I feel so awful about it... It has left a nasty mark too. I just cant believe that that could happen!!

This better give me a frecking baby !!!!!




RAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Sarah I am so sorry, that this is happening! Big hugs! I cant say I know how you feel because my side effects were not even close to what you are describing! I hope your daughter is okay as well. How many more days are left, I haven't had any symptoms linger after I stopped my last pill two days ago! Good luck Hun and keep us posted!

 

[trying hard]

These side affects will probably last until around O then I will probably get the pregnancy symptoms again. At least now I know not to get my hopes up.

We had to explain to Madie that If she wakes up early and wants cuddles she has to go to Sam's side of the bed...I SO DON'T WANT TO RISK DOING IT AGAIN. If I can bite her once I am worried what else I may do in my sleep. I feel so awful! There are still marks and it is beginning to bruise. I just don't understand how I could do that.

Sorry for my rant but I don't know how much longer I can put myself and my family through this. I am constantly so close to tears/ outbursts and don't know what to do.

Jessica we are all so thankfull for your 1 little post I'm sure I speak for us all that it keeps us going having support an someone 2 vent all our thoughts an feelings 2 so thank you 😃

Trying hard im so do sorry that this is happening 2 you this month,I hope your little girl is ok... I'm on day 5 this month an feel so normal an stable compared to last month.. Last month I went through exactly the same as you I even went as far as 2 feeling I wanted 2 leave my partner that how much clomid screwed with my head an emotions. This month my only change I did was completely changed my diet.. Only eating healthy cut everything out 2 try stabilise my hormones an it seems 2 have worked.. Or it could be just a case that each month it affects you different Hun.. Just don't give up Sarah once you finally get pregnant an hold that beautiful baby you will forget about all your hart ache. Maybe talk 2 your doctor they might even change the drugs.. Big hug for you stay strong.

An welcome 2 all our new girls hope you will all be blessed very soon.we are all close enough in days so stay positive an strong girls
