First cycle on Clomid... anxious :(

[Ss83]

Sorry to hear that pixie, fingers crossed for your next cycle though, just try look forward to that x

fingers crossed for you coral, let us know how you get on.I get my scan next wednesday, can't wait...!

 

[plpixie]

Have we got any more news from anyone???

I had my confirmed by blood work... boo. But I did ask them to check my TSH cause I have been feeling "off"... sure enough it is out of wack again which can be counter-productive to gettting pregnant!

Waiting for now so I can try again!

I have decided that June 2013 is going to be my month! Who's with me!!??

 

[plpixie]

hey ladies!
I'm day 4 now and on my second round of clomid, first round was so brutal!! i was beyond emotional going between depressed and very mad!
were did an unmedicated iui-bfn and then started clomid but couldn't get to FS for IUI but i had 3 good follicles that time so hopefully this time i respond well to clomid and can do IUI
how did you ladies handle the side effects of clomid? i'm only on 50mg day 3-7.
sending you all baby dust!!

Hey jcr1988 - I was on 50mg days 3-7 last month (1st time).... I was fine for the 5 days, but the day after I was honestly a monster

We all reacted differently to medications, so try to give yourself a break. Hormones are VERY powerful!

just in the other tww - waiting to O
Had an opk yesterday that was alot darker, but only half of it looked as dark as the control line - so I wrote it as a neg. Maybe today's will be dark...though odd doing them at work...
Still having some cramping on either side, but not as much anymore. Feel out of it a bit again today...good thing this week is an easy week at work.

 

[jcr1988]

plpixie - sorry to hear about the bfn. Hope it works out next cycle! (maybe just a late bfp this one? )
Just now waiting to O...and trying opks...at least these tests I get 2 lines
Was a bit sick yesterday, but feeling fine today. my temp dropped today, so hopefully I'll O in the next day or so.

jcr1988 - what side effects did you get? I was just a bit out of it the whole time when taking the pills, then crampy for the past few days, and a bit sick to the stomach.

Day 1 I get horrific cramps, day 2 just bad cramps so day 3 I start clomid and get mild cramps and pains near ovaries. Mood wise I'm all over the map, never know what my next emotion will be. I know when I get angry I'm being irrational but I can't make it stop. I cry much easier. Emotion wise I get worse every day until about day 12. I also get hot flashes and headaches.
But... In the end it will all be worth it!
I'm also taking 100mg DHEA a day so that doesn't make anything better other then follicles

Hi ladies, can I join you? Starting Clomid next cycle if needed! Anxious... Wishing it wasn't too late this cycle... Hoping for a BFP this month!

 

[heres_hoping]

Hi can I join too? I'm on cd 3 of my first clomid cycle, doing 50mg cd2-6. It's been not too bad so far, mild headaches, slight dizziness and slightly blurred vision. Oh and the hot flushed lol. But nothing that distrusts my day. Is bank holiday weekend here in uk too so I can take it easy now

I have PCOS and therefore, long irregular cycles normally, so I am excited to see what clomid does for me! I do ov on my own eventually, so I am confident this will work well.

Grayson's mummy, I remember you from the loss section.....I'm so sorry you find yourself LTTTC too, it's really cruel. I pray that we both are blessed with rainbows soon x

hey ladies sorry i didint update

went for my scan on may 15th and the technician went to get the doctor and wouldent tell us anything so my hubby and i were kinda freaking out so when the dr came in and told us we have 6 follicles that are big size and could go at anytime she advised us not to keep trying this month as there a high chance of us ending up with a reality show << her words hahaha

she said that my dr should of started me on 25mg insted cause i already ovulate on my own

so after hearing that we could possibly have 6 babies i was in shock and freaked out she did say it might be too late since we had intercourse that morning

after talking it trough with my husband and our families just to get some opinions we have decided were gonna keep trying . we see our specialist tommorow at 9:20 so ill come back on and update see what he says im kinda scared what if he gets mad were still going at it this month lol

 

[River54]

Hope you get a bfp coralym30 (and not the reality show kind ) What dpo are you?
It is nice to have family support. My dh and I are not telling our families we are ttc, but sometimes I wish we did, though my family are gossipy, so probably not a great idea unless I want to get the pity looks...

After hearing a bunch of stories about multiples on clomid and already ovulating on own, I must admit, I am kinda scared about it, esp since we don't get scans or anything. There are twins in the family...

I am 5dpo, and getting tired & bloated all day, maybe a side effect from the clomid? Or just being Monday at work...

 

[coralym30]

hey river i feel pressure near my ovaries and feel bloated dont know if i even ovulated yet but i usualy ovulate between day 14 to 16 im gonna ask the dr tommorow if its normal im constipitated too again dont know if it has anything to do with it :O

I get a lot of pressure too! Just know that it means your reacting well to clomid. I peeked at my paper work this am and I think I have 5 follicles! I ovulate on my own so I'm not too sure why they put me on clomid!

 

[coralym30]

hey jccr i also ovulate on my own the dr gave it as a boost so you have more chances

 

[coralym30]

i really hope i get pregnant this cycle my due date would be february 14th ! valentines day l

my birthday is feb 16th and my mom was due with me on the 14th

also my wedding anniversary is feb 23rd

so yessss February would be an awesome month to have our baby be born

 

[coralym30]

omg okay so we went to see our specialist and he said we have a high chance of having the 6 and its really dangerous he told us about selective abortion . which i cant even think about but he did say if more then 3 eggs fertilize that some of the babies could die or be born handicapped . he said i could already be pregnant so he sent us to the lab for an early pregnancy test and another ultrasound because he wanted to see if i have ovulated since last Friday and how many ovulated ... went for the ultrasound and found out all 6 ovulated !!!!!:O omg now im waiting for his call to see if i am already pregnant

 

[River54]

wow - keep us updated!

AFM - just trying to pass time til I can test. tww is annoying, I wish I got scans or some other form of updates!

How is everyone else doing on their clomid cycle?

oh my goodness!!! i hope you get a BFP but not all 6!! thats very sounds like a very scary endeavor to take on!! so hard when your faced with infertility and they mention abortions!! its something that infertility patients never even think about because we want a baby so bad!! wishing you the best of luck in this!! keep us posted!!

 

[coralym30]

thanks ladies so the dr called me and said i did infact ovulate all six and he got the blood work back it was negative but he said its too early .. also he said i ovulated not too long after my ultrasound i had on the 25th so its too late to stop ttc for this month . hes really worried but said he will be there every step of the way to to take of me so it makes me feel better

 

[coralym30]

sorry i had my ultrasound on the 24th lol

 

[Ss83]

Oh me coraly....that is scary...fingers crossed for a healthy (and not multiple!) Bfp...when can you test?

 

[coralym30]

the dr said it might be too late since i ovulated not too long after my ultrasound last friday and we had sex but my husband decided he doesent want to take a chance so no more sex this cycle .

im a little upset , i just feel like its another month wasted

i can test on the 7th

hopefully i do get a bfp and its not multiples 2 or 3 would be okay just not more i dont wanna have to kill my babies

after all this time i have a chance that it could actually really happen ! and its not happy or excitement its fear and im sad
