Cycle day two! Anyone else with me?
- Thread starter MaybeBabi
- Start date
Hi Maybebabi!! :wave: I'm CD4 and taking my 2nd round of clomid starting tomorrow (5-9)! Last month on 50 mg my progesterone level was only 10.45 so they bumped me up to 100mg this cycle.
Maybe we can get each other through this cycle?!

Korink,
That sound great! Tons of baby dust to you! I am on cd 5 just took my clomid 50mg. A little nervous because I heard you could get use to the dosages and it might not work. My doctor says since 50 worked the first time it should work again.. But no hot flashes this time, which I had instantly the last time. I'm glad to see u take it 5-9 like I do. I was seeing everyone taking it at different times and was thinking this was wrong lol. I heard that the earlier you take it the more eggs but the are less mature. So 5-9 seems safer to me!

Yes, I kept reading that people have better luck taking it days 3-7 but then I finally found a site that said taking it 3-7 gives more eggs, but not better quality but if you want better quality and have lower progesterone (my day 22 test was lower) you want to take it 5-9.
I didn't have a single side effect last month on 50, and took my first round of 100mg about an hour ago and have not felt a thing!??! I worry it won't work..again.
I OV on my own, so I thought my levels would be crazy good, so I was shocked I was low even on clomid...ugg...
Do you temp or anything? I temp use OPK and my fertility monitor (maybe a bit overkill, but don't want to miss anything).

Oh, and if it worked the first time last time, I'd think it should work again. I think your body would maybe get used to it if you were taking the same dosage month after month. You've had a couple months of not taking it so it was only in your system for a couple weeks.
FX'd for us!!

Thank you, reassurance really does make u feel better 
I temp. One month but didn't keep up with it. I need to sleep in on the weekends lol. And when I'm up for two seconds, I'm up for the hole day.. I did use opk when I got pregnant, but they don't really work for a lot of people with PCOS. Mine was positive when I think I ovulated, but stayed positive.. For like two weeks lol.yah alot of people say they don't have side effects. I am getting hot flashes today. Lol yay! It makes me feel better like maybe it's working. You have a good point about how I didn't take it for months and I did have a break. I hope this is our month.... I'm not monitored so no one checks my levels. That would be the next step if this month and next month there is no bfp... But my insurance is for some reason based out of Memphis and they don't cover fertility down there so I'm hoping I won't have to pay put of pocket for a specialist (300 just for the consultation)

hello my fellow clomid buddies......
haha
I am on 2nd cycle of clomid days 5-9 150mg...
I ovulate on my own BUT only have 1 tube , and am 40..so dr. prescribed me comid so i don;t miss a cycle.
1st cycle didn;t notice any side effects, other then having hard time sleeping.
My biggest fear is the higher doseage will potentially thin my lining. Anyone know how to treat that?
Hope we all end up with some comid babies soon!!!!!

Oh yeeaahh, a couple Clomid buddies!!! Maybebabi I'm jealous you're having some side effects, I want just something, ANYTHING so I know the pill is doing something! I've only taken 1 pill so far, but so many people say they feel diff. within a couple hours.
I also worry about it thinning my lining, but I think that's why they only let you take it for 3 months continuous (at least that's all my Dr. will let me take). If you take it longer than 3 months in a row it can thin it. Chill it looks like you are on every other month so I wouldn't worry much if I were you!
I'm going to stay in a hotel and shop this weekend with my mom and sisters so that should speed up my days a little bit (patience is not my best quality--which SUCKS when LTTC lol).

Hi Ladies!
Can I join? I'm a newbie, so please bear with me. 1st round of clomid - I'm on cd7 and started 50mg of CLOMID on cd4 - so one more day to go. My bf and I have been trying unsuccessfully for 2 years now. I have irregular periods (cycles range between 27-70 days) so I'm hoping clomid will do something for me this month.
Has anyone had an HSG yet? My dr says that the procedure may be therapeutic... My appendix ruptured when I was 4, so I have a FEELING that my tubes may be blocked. I was scheduled for the HSG today, but I'm still bleeding so I will have to wait :**(
I'm really hoping that I get a BFP soon... so I won't have to do the HSG.
I'm soo happy to have found this thread!

hellokelye- Just wanted to say i had an Hsg done and it wasn't bad at all...some ppl do experence painful cramps during and after.. just took some deep breaths and it was over fast. thats how they found out i only had 1 tube...
and if you do have a blocked tube then it increases your chance of having a tubal pregnancy.......So dont delay!!!!!
Korink- I'm only skipped a month because we forgot to buy it in time...oops!!!!! And my dr only gave me 3 months supply so i guess thats why....
Hope we can all keep each other company gering up for o time and after......take the stress out of LTTTC.

CBMD - Good luck to you!! Are you experiencing any side-effects from Clomid at all?
ChillyBilly - Thanks Hon' for the encouragement. I am such a chicken :**( My mom had an ectopic pregnancy a few years ago and the Drs removed the damaged tube, but they couldn't save the pregnancy. I don't know whats worse... the HSG procedure OR finding out the truth about my tubes... I just... don't want to know. :**( I had a little... cry-fest with my bf this morning about it. I can't handle the truth.

hellokelye- knowing whats going on with your body is the best thing you can do..... if you do have an HSG done.take a few pain killers 45 min before appointment...that helps.....
and good news about HSG...you are extremely fertile for 3 cycles after...LOL

Welcome hellokelye! Any symptoms from your clomid? The only thing I've noticed is that about an hour after taking them, I get a really SLIGHT headache. It goes away real quick tho....Clomid should def. help regulate your cycles.
Ok, this is probably so stupid but what is HSG--is it the test where they put the dye through your tubes to see if they're ok? I've been thinking I should ask for it, but she said that since I got PG before (ended in mc) that my tubes are fine. But after thinking about it, that just means that 1 of my tubes are ok, right?

korink- yes hsg is the dye test DO IT!!!!
hahaha
If you've been trying for more then a year (6months if over35) ask your Dr.
the dye will show if tubes are working...plus it kind of cleans them out and may make you fertile after.
The main reason is to get answers......i wasted way to much time "trying" before i had mine.
I only have one tube but am on clomid to help me ovulate from both sides, hopefully...
My Dr. actually told me that sometimes one tube will float over and pick up an egg from the opposite side...sounds Ridiculous to me....but she is a fertility specialist....but i still dont beleive her...lol

For sure if I go through my 3 months of Clomid I'll ask for the HSG. Actually, maybe if I get a BFN this month I'll ask. I just hope my stupid progesterone level is higher this month, last month it was only 10.45 so I think that's my main problem before I even start with my damn tubes! lol
Well, and DH had a pretty low morphology number on his SA but Dr. said his count and motility were good so she wasn't concerned. Who knows....sometimes I feel like they give me more hope than they should when I wish they'd just say the truth.
