Newbie!! TTC on clomid CD4 would love a buddie

[brooksbaby]

Hey Ladies!

I would love to join this thread. DH and I have been NTNP for the last 6 months, but due to my age and history of PCOS, my doctor encouraged me to get serious about this, so I'll be starting my first round of Clomid soon.

I just started Progesterone to get things going again (haven't had a period since Feb!). On CD3, I'm supposed to go in for a blood test and if all is well I'll be taking Clomid CD5-9.

Wishing you all lots of luck. I'm not sure how to feel. I'd like to be crazily optimistic that it could happen on the first round, but I read through these threads and see what a struggle it can be too.

At any rate, whatever happens/doesn't happen...I'm looking forward to sharing this journey with you all.

Hi brooksbaby and welcome!!! Clomid can be fantastic as well as having some side affects but well worth if if you get a bfp I also had progesterone to kick start me it took 8 days after last pill to bleed grrrr but some bleed after 2 days fx for you!! You should end up around same time as all of us- keep in touch!!

Wlcome Brooksbaby! I have not had my period since Dec last year so you are not the only one... Finally I took provera this cycle and got AF 4 days after finishing the dose

Hi ladies!

Welcome brooksbaby, ARGH on the Nattymommy & SG and YAY CDN!

So much news over the past 5 days!

Argh, the witch got me on Friday, as predicted, although she's been so flipping light for 4 days and then today only spotting. I often wonder whether to actually class it as AF or spotting, but since she's always like that, even on the pill, I class it as a normal AF. That's the usual for me, except when I was on Provera last month.

I'm going 'natural' this month - no Clomid - because I don't have any! I was only given it for one month by the private specialist in South Africa and my specialist appointment here is on the 9th July, so I figured I'd give it a month's break to see if my ovaries decide to work on their own. By my appointment, I'll know whether I've ovulated or not, so will be in a good position to demand Clomid again if I haven't o'd.

CDN, I know how happy you are, I was exactly the same last month! It's such a relief to finally see that temp curve and get a positive reaction from FF! Isn't it funny how we let a bit of software manipulate us so much?!

Festival was good, I went prepared, so didn't get muddy at all and Wimbledon was good yesterday too, saw some great players Back at the office today though... boo!

I just started Progesterone to get things going again (haven't had a period since Feb!). On CD3, I'm supposed to go in for a blood test and if all is well I'll be taking Clomid CD5-9.

I didn't have a period for over 7 months after coming off the pill in August last year and once I had one, I didn't have another one for almost 2 months. It was at that point that I went private and the specialist gave me Provera, which worked like a bomb! And then Clomid CD2-6 made me ovulate for the first time in my life, so I'm a huge advocate and wish you loads of luck with it

 

[nimbec]

Lkpone sorry the wicked got you!! but i'm glad you've had a good time away! You will def be in a good position fx for you!!

Brooks I also had to have provera to kick start me then the clomid worked well for me too! keep in touch!

Well I fear i'm suffering from line eye today i stared for so long at my bfn i though i may just be able to see a glimse of something - ladies there is nothing there i'm just going nuts

I don't have normal af symptoms though and i should by now as she is due saturday....temps up again today...some mild cramping but boobs still nowhere near as sore as normal...

i just want to know now

Hope your all ok?

Nimbec, your chart looks good... hang in there!

hi, i am new here. i have also been diagnosed with PCOS and currently on my 1sy cycle of clomid. i have been married for past 2 years and had consulted a gyno after 1 yr of marriage. initially the doctor was not too keen to start treatment as they said we were young and newlywed. (both my husband and i are 30).after 6 months of consultation, the doctor suggested that i lose weight. living with PCOS for years its very difficult to lose weight. no matter wat diet or exercise, your hormones make it difficult. as a doctor myself, i dont reli have the time for proper exercise regime. my husband was quite suprised as he told me many ppl who are overweight get pregnant so y cant i. thus, my husband and i decided to start clomid. my LMP was 26/5/2012. i dont reli have regular menses but yesterday 25/6/2012 i had some spotting, brownish/reddish /pinkish.about 1/6 of panty liner. so now i am not sure if its menses or mayb implantation bleeding (at least i hope). also have been having extreme fatigue and sleepiness. i am unsure if to test or no.

 

[nimbec]

Pb27 welcome!! I also only spot my gynae told me to count it as cd1 otherwise i'd never get going! I personally would do a test just incase though before starting the clomid as if you were pg it could be detrimental.

Fx for you and keep in touch!!

 

[SG_Lady]

Welcome Brooksbaby and PB27! As you can see a lot of us ladies are in similar situations so this a great place to get advice/support. I also have PCOS and do not ov on my own so rarely get AF without a kick start.

Nimbec- your chart does look good and your symptoms sound promising too!! I am feeling v positive for you!! FXd

LKPone you are back! Sorry about blasted AF. I'll be here with you next cycle though good luck for your au natural cycle!

So I'm just on CD5 impatiently waiting for things to start happening! Boring! Oh and I have planned for a lot of bd on our hols next week though so hoping to o while I am away! I won't be monitored though so I will have to rely on opks....

to all

 

[SG_Lady]

Yay CDN!!!

I have no clue on what dpo I am on as I don't temp.... I just know that I am on CD32 now. But my progesterone level were good so I think that I should AF should cm on its own this cycle even if I dont get a bfp. I will just wait for another day or two and then test.

Niks- how are you getting on? Any thoughts about when you are going to test? I feel good about your cycle! Keeping everything crossed!

AF has not shown up yet... but I do have a bit of lower back pain.... As I am doing everything as my doctor said so I am waiting for CD35 to test which btw is on Friday.... I can always cheat and test now bt somehow I despite of all the impatience I dont want to do that . Keeping my FX'ed in the meantime.

 

[brooksbaby]

Thanks for the nice welcome girls!

I'm on Day 4 of Provera today and am pretty sure since we're going on a quick "romantic" getaway next week that AF will decide to rear her ugly head around that time. Laws of the Universe, right? Haha.

Niks, when are you going to test? Good luck to you!

 

[nimbec]

Hi all i'm struggling with PMA today I don't seem to have either af or pg signs....my breats are not as sore as they are normally for af and they are def not as sore as when i had chemical - what on earth is going on???!! I'm shattered today too!

Hey hon - thats good news that your temp has gone up! Also I have heard a lot of ladyies say that their pg clue was a lack of af symptoms! Sounds promising! FXd!!!

 

[SG_Lady]

So Im on CD7, finished my Clomid for the month and feeling fine I bought preseed today for this cycle as I notcied last time around I didnt have any ewcm, (TMI alert) my cm around o time was actuallly creamy and opaque. Im thinking that might be why the didnt catch my egg last time!

Im hopping on a plane tonight and off on hols until 9th July but I will definitely try to check in to see how everyone is getting on. I want good news on her by the time Im back!!

Hi Ladies

I know I was supposed to test today but I just cant do it... I got up in the morning and can't make myself test... I know it is stupid and I dont know how to explain it as I myself dont understand why... May be I have been living in hope for the past week and I dont want it to be shattered now... if I get a bfn now despite of good progesterone results it will mean there is something seriously wrong with me ( I dont have any pregnancy symptoms).

But I will definitely test tomorrow... I cant live in this limbo forever and if it is a bfn I will atleast have the whole weekend to sulk. I am feeling so down today.

Niks dont feel down I felt that way last cycle too - I was trying not to get my hopes up but it is nigh on impossible not to...it really is an emotional rollercoaster. It was so disappointing to see a bfn. Your cycle sounds really promising but even if you do get a bfn (which FXd you wont!) it doesnt mean there is anything wrong...there are a lot of other factors that can affect whether or not you get pg in any given cycle

Please dont feel sad - we are here for you and if the worst happens and it is bfn I will be here with you next round!!!

Good luck honey. Have everything crossed for you X

 

[nimbec]

Sglady that sounds like a good idea to me I also use Preseed only a tiny amount tho otherwise ends up to slippy! They also say drinking a small glass of grapefruit juice every morning up until ov helps thin cm.

Hope you have a lovely holiday!!!

Niks keep your chin up I understand exactly how you feel fx all ok for you! ((hugs))
