First round of clomid starts tomorrow

[His Princess]

Hi Ladies,

My DH and I have been TTC #1 for 15 months. My GP referred me to a specialist a few months back and the hospital called me out of the blue yesterday to offer me an appointment for this afternoon.

I was diagnosed with PCOS a number of years ago and as a result have irregular cycles. What the specialist told me today though, was that although I sometimes get 'periods', I don't actually ovulate. I didn't even know this was possible, and now feel like a bit of a numpty who is completely clueless about the whole thing

Anyhow, the good news is, she prescribed me 3 cycles worth of Clomid, so I have my fingers firmly crossed. Just wanted to hear from anyone that's one a similar journey/wants to share their stories etc x

Hey

Firstly I'm sorry you're here in LTTTC! I hope we don't keep you for long

I don't have PCOS and we are currently in the 'unexplained' category, but I was prescribed Clomid to make my ovulation stronger, as I already ovulate on my own but the FS said I was going to give it a little bit of a 'push' in the right direction.

Our first round of clomid failed, and I had a bit of a LTTTC breakdown, and took last month off, but AF arrived today, so round numero dos of Clomid starts tomorrow for me so we'll be taking it at the same time.

I didn't get any really bad side effects last time round, so I'm hoping tomorrow brings non either!

Fingers tightly crossed for you

welcome aboard hun

I was given clomid when I had my second IUI even tho I ovulate on my own...I had 4 follicles in one ovary and 3 in the other, after taking it on CD 3-7!! so it really does pop those eggs out

I only had hot flashes and bitchy episodes (or more bitchy episodes than usual ) when I was on it, and had a bit of pain in my ovaries, but it wasn't too bad!

Hopefully the clomid will help you produce beautiful juicy eggs that will help you get your BFP!

Oh my poor husband, I too have mood swings at the best of times, so I feel for him ha ha.

I wish you ladies success, and hope that you both get your BFP's soon
