On first round of clomid...

[hopingfor4]

Yay! Congrats!

got me on 19th so i'm out for this month...

Just finished taking round two tablets - had no side effects this time though which is strange. Has this happened to anyone else?

Also I don't understand why people take Clomid on different days - i've been told to take it on cd 2- 5? They scanned me first month and said it was working so guess its ok.

Just going to go for it this month with the , every other day and hope for the best! I don't do charts or temperatures or anything like that - I find it stressful just doing OV tests!!

Any other advice welcome...

I just finished my second round of clomid, last time I did days 6-10 50 mg... and had horrible side effects! this time, I did cd 3-7 and 100 mg and I've had no side effects!

I did ask the Nurse and she says it's quite common and doesn't mean it's not working...

Good Luck!

I hope th stays away for you heavenly.... I am in the dreaded 2ww now on round 4 of clomid..ugh

AF turned up yesterday evening. I am now starting cycle 3 Clomid, only 2 cycles left before invasive treatment. I had a little cry this morning, didn't let OH see. It normally doesn't get to me but it did this morning. I always thought I would fall naturally, but that doesn't look likely. I am getting my AMH done this afternoon, I am worried about the results of that as well.


Anyway, I need to think positively, it's Friday, the sun is shining, March is a new month!!

Love to you all! xx

I have cried every month for the past 13 months that I have been trying....you are very strong that this is the first time it got u

i have bawled my heart out in front of my husband though I have projected an "i HATE kids" attitude to the world.....its tough but we can only hope for the best and pray for a miracle

my update - beta HCG on 16 dpo is 1578.....i go in for a scan on Sunday 4th March...the FS is still very cautious....makes me think that maybe all is not going smoothly but as i said hope for the best and pray for a miracle

I don't know why it hasn't upset me before, I suppose I always thought it would happen but for some reason, this is the first month it has hit me that it probably won't, naturally. Also I am on ADs and I think I am worried if I get too hung up on it all or down about it, it will bring my depression back, so I have tried to just go with the flow...which has worked...until this cycle.

I am wishing you so much luck and love this cycle, keep us posted!!

I know what you mean Heavenly, I never thought I would have problems and now I have to face the possibility that we can’t have them. Now I’m taking Clomid it’s so much worse when AF comes as it becomes very worrying. I’ve been assured that not ovulating is the reason why we haven’t fallen so I was hoping we would on the first round. I know that every cycle I don’t fall I will get more and more worried as I think we only get 6 rounds of Clomid in the UK.

Praying for all of us xx

Hi girls, I start clomid 50mg cd2-6 once my artificial period turns up!

Good luck and baby dust to all! x

Welcome to the Clomid Cronies.


AFM......have perked up a bit, I took back control. Went to the Agora Clinic in Brighton, had my AMH done, and decided, instead of going back to my FS with the results, that I would meet up with the Director of the Agora to discuss them. I can also discuss possible invasive treatment there. It was a very nice relaxing environment, also only a 20 min drive, which would be extremely handy if we did go ahead. It is a satellite clinic with the Lister in London. I feel better that I am doing something proactive. The nurse told me to start taking DHEA and I told her I had already ordered some!

Love to you all. xx

hey ladies how is every body getting on? i havent been on in a while because my laptop broke and had to send it off to get fixed so im on day 2 on my second cycle of clomid 50mg. the first cycle was monitered by scans and we saw the egg and i also new when i ovulated and dtd at the right time. was ready to test today but had other plans and showed up the day before last. hada good last night and now here i am ready for round two so how is everyone havent had time to read through all the post yet xxx

Hello ladies I am back again with the 4th round of clomid, I decided against gonal F injections as I was petrified about OHSS and losing my ovaries to cysts now I am filled with remorse that I am not going down this route.
I have negotiated with my obgyn consultant that I can increase my clomid to 150mg and see what happens. I have just finished the 5 days and I have my scan on Friday morning. I am having a few abdominal twinges but nothing too major. I am so desperate to know what is going on in there! Counting down the days until Friday
Good luck everyone
xx

Hi Ladies,

Hope all are well…

Heavenly, glad your feeling more positive, i've been told thats the key! (if only it were that simple!!)

dreamofabump - sorry you didn't get lucky on 1st round but onwards and upwards!

I'm looking for a bit of advice on ov tests if anyone can help?

Think I ov’s last weekend but not sure and wondered what you thought. Weds the test had no line on, Thurs the line was faint and then Friday the line was much, much darker but not quite as dark as the control line. Unfortunately on Saturday I was away, had run out of tests and none of the shops where I was had any so I couldn’t test. On Sunday I tested and there was no line again.

I know the test line has to be as dark or darker as the control line to be ov so I’m thinking that maybe it would have tested positive if had been able to test on Saturday. I have attached a pic of the test stick from Friday to see what you think (its a bit blurry, sorry also there are two tests on there as I didn’t think the top one would work as it looked weird. Bottom one is the correct one).

Also, my fertility nurse told us to BD every other day but on the ov test leaflet it says when you test positive you should bd within 24 hours but not after 48. We bd’s late on Fri night and as we were away the next time was late on Sun night so I’m worried I may have missed my window.

Any thoughts on these two things would be much appreciated!

Hi girls! Hope this cycle is going ok for you (so far) I have a quick question which may sound dumb...

I'm due to take Clomid CD2-6 and af is due any day now, I plan to take my clomid at night to lessen the side effects you so often hear about, should I take it the night of CD1 so itl be working its way into my system the early hours of CD2 or take it night time on CD2 so that itl be working its way into my system the early hours of CD3?

I'm so confused...

Thank you for any help

I take it CD2-6 and take it at night. I am on cycle 3 now and have no side effects.

Good luck.

Do you think its a positive though? The line was slightly fainter that the test line...

thanks

hello ladies,
I had my scan yesterday and have one tiny little folly at 10mm with an endometrial lining of 4.4mm, I was day 10. My consultant wants to rescan me on Tuesday (day 14) I am not sure if it is going to grow to that much but hoping it will get to 18mm.
Has anyone else had similar numbers?
NB
