October 2014...starting Clomid for the 1st time! Anyone else?

[taurusmom05]

Hello! DH and I have been ttc #2 for 2.5 years. Dh's SA= great!! ...... Me: mild pcos, low thyroid levels, weak ovulation and high testosterone. started taking metformin and thyroid meds last month and get to start Clomid days 5-9 when af finally arrives in a week or so!
We are so excited and just praying the Clomid does the trick for us, as well as the other meds I'm on. Anyone just starting out with Clomid and want to buddy up?!

Baby dust to all!

Hi taurus!
I'm currently on cd 8 and had my 4th clomid this evening. It's not my first time having clomid but it is my first fully monitored cycle. I'm booked to have my first scan on Wednesday morning so my fingers are tightly crossed that my follicles are looking good and my body behaves.
DH has the low end of average for all SA measures. Just good enough for them to let us try a few monitored cycles of clomid before moving to iui.

Hi mrslake! That is exciting that you're being monitored this cycle! You will have to let me know how many beautiful follies you see during your scan!
I hope this is it for you!
I do have a question: How did the clomid make you feel? I have heard many women experience several side effects.

I am so eager to get this cycle started...praying the metformin has been working, also!
Looking forward to your update!

So i had my cd10 scan this morning. We could see quite a few very small follies and one which is 8mm with another 1-2 not far behind. I was so overwhelmed that this is actually happening and I'm on the way to my already loved baby I sat in the car and cried for 5 mins.
Back in next Thursday for another scan. Fingers crossed were getting close to the 20mm mark!

The clomid this time has made me emotional. I'll get angry/grumpy/upset at the drop of a hat then 1 minute later like it never happened. I never had this last time, maybe due to a 20kg weightloss it might actually work this time!

Hi taurusmom & MrsLake, may I join?

I'm currently on cd19, this is my 2nd clomid cycle, and 1st cycle using clomid + Ovidrel, and had iui last week. What's so strange is I'm not experiencing any symptoms, other than hot flashes and light off/on cramping. And over the weekend I felt extra emotional.shrug:, Lol. My first cycle on Clomid I broke out, had hot flashes, sore boobs, tiredness and cramping. I'm trying not to over analyze things but it's so hard not to, lol

MrsLake, that's wonderful news and congrats on the progress!

Taurusmom, good luck on your upcoming appointment!


Keeping my FX'd for us all! xo

Thanks Buttercup! Hope you get your BFP!!!

I was so excited to have the new hope of having some clomid in my hands. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Hi ladies, mind if I join? A little about me...I'm 30, DF is 28. I came off bcp Apr 16, ovulated 30 days later. We dtd without contraception 1 time, 4-5 days before I ovulated, and were surprised to get a BFP. Unfortunately, my hcg never rose properly and I miscarried at 6 weeks. I had a normal length cycle for the first time in my life in July, but didn't ovulate. 2 months later I finally ovulated again, and we were actively TTC...BFN. So bc of my very long cycles and family history of severe endometriosis, my midwives have put me on clomid. Took my pills CD 4-8, and I'm currently on CD 14, which is day 2 of my expected ovulation window, with all negative opks. Also am having some mild spotting and watery bleeding off and on the past few days, which I also had throughout August, so I'm a little concerned about that. Has anyone else had that?

Hi drjo718 and welcome!

Sorry for your loss, wishing you the best of luck!

 

[MissLaroo]

Took my first pill last night no real symptoms yet today. How's everyone else doing? What my friend told me who took clomid is that it will make you crazy moody.. Anyone experiencing that? Lol
