First Clomid Cycle Buddy?

[dizzikel]

Hi hun,

Sorry...that was the devil inside me. I am ok, been having tummy pains still but not sure if this is just the clomid. This last 1WW is just killing me, just pleased it is Thursday tomorrow. Off for some yummy tea and an early night How are you?

Hi all! Thanks for the support! I am done with the HSG, tucked into bed with my heating pad and dog, and relaxing knowing my tubes are clear and now cleaned out and ready to go!!! THe procedure actually turned about being very painful-doc says i have a cervix tipped off to the left side so that was why it was more painful. still having lotsa cramps so i am taking the day to rest and relax. all in all i am in high spirits since the test had good results! I have another md appt on friday so i will get the results of the SA and hopefully get my clomid prescription!!

I am not in the UK-Actually i live in colorado, u.s. and unfortunately health care here is ridiculously expensive!! but you are right it is worth it for the final result!!

Now come on ladies, need some good news from BFPs for all of you!!! Dying for your results baby dust baby dust

Chez: sounds positive...the fact that you had 3 follie is fab. I didn't have any tracking so I don't know how successful the clomid has been. The fact that I have had lots of twinges and pains and only be a positive though! Does having twins bother you? Right we have got to keep up with out PMA! Come on Chez we are going to do this! Not sure when I am testing, I have not even brought any so I am not tempted lol! Will see how I feel at the weekend.

Sarlar: Glad all went well and you got positive results! Such a shame you have to pay for your treatment though...it just adds to the stress!

Hi chuck,

The only thing that bothers me about twins is the increased risk... I really would love twins but it would be hard work lol. Try to resist the test!!!! I hope AF does not show!

Still have erect sore nipples but not as bad as a few days ago. I always have sore (.)(.) before my period so that is not unusual for me. I feel really tierd and went to bed for an hour earlier. Still got cramps..... but I am really trying hard not to symptom spot!

I hope the clomid has worked.... just hate not knowing and being in limbo!

hi girls my sister in law has twins girls there both lovely and naughty but now why there geting a bit older there ok because they keep each other company xx xx

 

[ttcbaby117]

hi girls -

sarlar - I am so happy you got good results. They found a fibroid when they did mine that is bulging into my uterus...not happy about that...they seem to think it isnt impossible to get prego with it but it is going to make it difficult. rest up and have beautiful dreams about your up and coming BFP.

chez - your symptoms sound great...I really hope you get your bfp this month! I would love twins also....though I understand the risk part.

dizz - I didnt have any follicle tracking either..I do feel shafted by that..I would love to know how many potential eggs I had coming out.....I cant wait for you guys to test..hahahaha

 

[dizzikel]

Thanks for the support TTC! I'm feeling quite nervous about testing but hope we can make this thread positive!

What are you trying this month? Preseed? Temps? When do you usually ov?

 

[sarlar]

Another update: got a call today with sperm results and it looks like those are virtually normal. they said the sperm count is on the low end of normal but still within normal limits. cant wait till friday when i get the clomid as it seems our only problem is annovulation.

As far as twins go we discussed this risk before deciding on going with clomid and me and the dh both decided twins would be hard but if it means we can have a baby we would love two!! we just might be done after that lol.

everyones symptoms look really good. i am very positive that we will get at least one or more bfps this month

Fantastic! That is great news about the results...good luck with the clomid. Will keep you posted on our progress xx

Sarlar - Woo-hoo on your results! What a high to have that over with. What CD are you on? Still time to start clomid this cycle?

This is one of the more grueling tww's I've had (and I've had A LOT of them). It's mostly because I'm so excited to see if it worked. It's also partly due to the side effects of insomnia & massive appetite. If I have to do several rounds of clomid I will be incredibly sleep deprived & overweight!

I am so glad I can distract myself with your BFP's along the way.

Hey girls,

Sarlar, that is AWESOME news about your HSG and about the semen analysis! You guys will be a great candidate for clomid! I hope the heat pad has done it's thing and that you're feeling better now.

TTC, sorry to hear about your fibroid. What have the docs suggested you do?Will you keep trying for a bit and then decide if you want to operate?

Chez, those follies sound good! It's an interesting question about twins. I really, really wanted twins until I found out what some of the risks are.

As some of you know, I'm starting IVF next cycle and it's a really big issue for us, because if you implant two embies you get a 50% chance of twins - but the mortality rate is much higher. So DH and I are going to have to think long and hard about whether we implant two or one. Having said that I do love the idea of twins (!) I think people who are LTTTC often think that b/c we have been trying so long and we want a baby so much. I swear, the minute I pop out baby 1, I am going to be straight away working on baby 2!

Lola, Kel, Caz and Bob - hope you guys are all hanging in there!!

My boobs are killing me today and really heavy so I reckon maybe the witch is round the corner. Day 28 for me today.

Lots of babydust to us all!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

morning ladies -

MrsJA - thanks...basically b/c I have gotten mixed recommendations from my many doctors, my dh and I decided to try clomid for 3 months and if that didnt work then look at maybe getting the fibroid removed. I try not to think about it but that is very hard...hopefully, I will be pregnant in these next 2 cycles and it wont be an issue anymore! Are you going to be testing anytime? Are bigger boobs a af sign for you?

 

[dizzikel]

Hi all

Hope everyone is ok today! I am fine...now am home from work lol....and it's friday tomorrow! Whoop Whoop!

Not sure what to make of this but have been to the loo (sorry if it's TMI) and when wiping noticed small clumps of white/creamy bits in my cm. I have been having twinges and pains in my stomach again all day and still have sore turbo tits! I hope this is a good sign.

Fingers crossed for everyone who is waiting for a BFP in the next few days and those hanging in there for ov.

Come on girls ...we can do this!

Hi chuck,

Still hanging in there...just! Didn't realise you were on CD 28, you need to treat yourself to a ticker! Are your cycles normally 28 days? I hope you do get a BFP and show those doctors.

Good luck and take care

Hello girls,
Hope you don't mind if I join you. I've just been prescribed Clomid today to start on my next cycle for 3 months. I don't really know much about it. Does it have a good success rate and are there many side effects?

 

[caz & bob]

it does have a good success rate hun and the side affects are simler to early pregnancy symptoms xx xx

 

[sarlar]

chez-have you tested yet? lola-when are you testing? i am so excited for everyone!!

I am cd 12 so probably too late for clomid this month. unfortunately my md wouldnt give me the clomid to start this cycle until he saw good results all around. i have an appt. friday so we will be making our game plan then and gettting the clomid. now i just gotta wait for the af and get going!! hopefully the next couple weeks go by fast. i am sure they will we are going on vacation in 1.5 weeks and then 2 weeks later i am flying home for my sisters bridal shower/bachelorette party!! trying to keep busy. who knows may ill ovulate after having taken provera and then having the hsg?? wish i could get pregnant on my own but not holding my breath....

 

[lola13]

Hi & welcome, Bluebell. I've read the success rate is 45% over 6 cycles of clomid. Depending on other fertility factors, it could be +/-, but that's the average. Good luck!

OK, Jess, Chez & Kel, you guys are getting close (in that order, i think!). Waiting for you guys is helping me through big time. I personally don't test unless AF is late (read: I never test!) I used to test in my early days of ttc, thinking I just had to be pg. Obviously, that got old. I'm ready for some good news, ladies!
