On first round of clomid...

[CHILLbilly]

So I have a question.....

Can I take sleeping pills 1 day after ovulation?? this insomnia is killing me... I have taken 1 a few days before ovulation but tend to not take or do anything risky after...Not even tylenol..lol

This is my only clomid symptom......starts few days after I am done clomid pills......
Its almost 2am and I am wide awake.......of course I am dead tired in the am..... its a vicious circle..LOL


Heavenly........ Good luck I'll be thinking of you....... I have been TTC for almost 4 yr as well....... and know how it feels a few days before you think AF is due.....I stopped early testing 2 yrs ago.
I have my fingers crossed......

Hi hun, can't answer about the sleeping pills I am afraid, best to ask your GP if you are not sure. Sorry you are not sleeping, hopefully the side effects will settle down.

Well, no AF yet, but am convinced it will turn up today!

Will test tomorrow (14DPO) with a FRER if it doesn't turn up!

to everyone. xx

Hmm, I had an awful nights sleep last night too - didn't know insomnia was a side effect!! I've also been getting what I think is heartburn (never had it before) feel like I have a lump in my through, constantly swallowing and phlemy (sorry!!) a slight acidy taste aswell. Anyone else have this?

Am quite worried that i'm having so many side effects already as i'm only on 50mg. If it doesn't work and they up the dose they'll be much worse!!

It's natural to be nervous, I was! But I didn't get any side effects, so you may not!


AFM, CD28, 15DPO and still no sign of AF, and no AF pains either! Does Clomid lengthen your cycle?

Will test on Fri, if AF hasn't shown up by then.

Love and to everyone. xx

Hi everyone,

Hope you don't mind me joining, I'm hoping it'll help speaking with others on clomid!

We have been TTC for 3 years now - one miscarriage in Jan 2009. We have one son who is 4.

I was put on one cycle of 50mg clomid in 2010 before being moved onto Tamoxifen, but then developed a cyst.

This is my first cycle of 100mg clomid (days 2-6) and progynova (days 9-18). I ovulated (rather painfully) on CD16. I had a CD12 scan which showed one follicle on the left 21x16mm and one on the right 15x12mm. My endo thickness was 7.3mm.

After 3 years of TTC I still have so much hope that this is now going to work after everything we've tried to do and have had done!

Good luck mojo86, on the same path as you!

All sounding good Heavenly - fingers crossed!

Thanks for the positive thinking and encouragement Angie - we need it!

Hey ladies

Well AF finally turned up this morning, which I expected as I have had zero pregnancy symptoms.

Looks like Clomid has lengthened my cycle to 29 days so will go by that next cycle, save me a fortune in tests and keep my blood pressure down!! So will be testing in March and maybe OVing on Valentine's Day!!

to everyone still to test this cycle. xx

Sorry she got you! x Clomid is very frustrating!!

My AF is very bad, I was throwing up yesterday, bad pains and it's very very dark, almost brown, and very gloopy! Not sure what to make of all that!!

Will be taking my Clomid from today (CD2-6), here we go again!

Love to everyone! xx

So, had my scan this morning ladies and I’m happy to report positive news!

My follicles are at 16mm and she told me to BD tonight as she predicts I’ll be ovulating over the next three days! I have to have a blood test on 13th so will know for sure then whether I ovulated but she said the signs look good. She also said that usually side effects are a sign that the drug is doing something.

So I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a positive blood test and dare I say maybe even a BFP this month!
