hi ladies

ttc-do you have pcos???? doc made me wait til i hit a hear to give me the clomid. i don't get monitored yet. this is my second month on it. the doctor said that i will either get pregnant by cd 30, get period by cd 30 (if the clomid worked), or not ovulate and not get period (then we know i didn't ovulate). this is coming from my ob/gyn.....

So far I've had all blood tests come back normal, husband is normal, but I've always had irregular cycles so I don't think I ovulate on my own. I was so happy when the first cycle of Clomid worked but now discouraged that the second cycle didn't. I see the doctor tomorrow so well see what she says. I just don't feel like I'm getting that much attention from the regular ob/gyn.

Who else is in their TWW?

I am... I am 10dpiui and 11dp my trigger shot... so af is due sat... what about you?? How are you doing? any symptoms? how did the clomid work for you this month?

I'm not sure what DPO I am but I can tell I'm in it because I have very sore boobies/nipples and back pain. Maybe around CD4-5?

Wow Sat will be here before you know it! How are you feeling about this cycle?

It's been.. alright. I was feeling pretty sick with it but def didn't feel as much abdominal discomfort like I did on 50 mg.

Well im 12dpiui today and i have sore boobs and have been very moody too which are always symptoms of af on her way... im def. feeling out... i tested today and bfn.. so did you take 100mg this month? im thinking of asking to be upped more than 50mg to see if it helps.

thanks Lesley, how are you? when will you be testing?

 

[LesleyL]

sonichka- i think you'll be fine missing the dose by those hrs. they just say try to take it at the same time each day.

ttc-sounds like me. all test came back normal on me. just don't o or get periods on my own.

lily-i'm doing good, thanks for asking. i will prob be testing the wk of july 4th. i walked in from work tonight and my husband asked if i tested today cause i told him i o'd yesterday. haha. thought it was cute.

 

[Lily7]

Not long to wait, but then again to us ttc girls an hour can sometimes feel like a day, a day like a week etc! Awk that is so cute, my husband will say random things sometimes, depends how I am feeling what way I take it! I either think....you really don't listen to anything or awk how cute are you, if only it was that simple! Lol
I will be following this thread to see your outcome, I left my prescription in yesterday, it will be ready tuesday and the doc wants me to start the provera wednesday, I am glad the ball is finally rolling but so so scared at the same time

 

[LesleyL]

how many days do you have to take the provera??? i take it every month too to induce af. i usually take 10 mg for 10 days. i see that alot of ladies get it prescribed for only 7 days. my periods are always a wk long on it, and it takes me 4 days after the last pill to bleed all the time. so that is 2 wks wasted to me that i could be ttc. that's when i get mad at my body for not working right in the first place. i hope you have luck with your first time of clomid. the side effects really aren't that bad. it'll all be worth it in the end.

so far as long as symptoms, yesterday i felt bloated still, and would get little cramps here and there all day. nothing bad, just noticable. i am just hoping i ovulated the other day and i really don't have any cysts.

Did you test again yet? I'm really hoping this is your BFP. Yes I was upped to 100mg. If this month doesn't work for you (let's hope it does) hopefully they will up you to 100.

alright ladies, I can finally "officially" post on this thread as I was prescribed clomid today! I will be starting provera (10mg for 5 days, last time they had me do 5 as well and the time before they had me do 10 days but anyway 10mg for 5 days) and then I was told to take 50mg of Clomid on days 5-9.

A few questions for you, Im currently on CD 18 (after taking provera to induce period) Is it weird that my dr is having me start provera already? I know I havent ovulated since I have been charting my temps and doing OPKs and by the time I actually get my "period" this will have been a normal length of a cycle... Just curious if you had to wait for longer into your cycle or not?

Also, I have read that most people say not to count spotting as day 1 but to count day of actually flowing blood as day 1. I asked my dr and he said to count the 1st day that I see any sort of blood including spotting, what have you been told?

Lesley, I hope you will have lots to celebrate on the fourth of july this year!!

CRC25, dont give up hope! Ive heard of lots of women feeling "out" and actually getting their BFP, stay positive!

Lily, looks like you and I may be starting clomid right around the same time! good luck!

Quick question for ladies experienced in Clomid, my nipples are killing me!

I am on CD15 and I am not 100% sure if I ovulated (hoping I have) but on my first two rounds of clomid I didn't get sore nipples like this, would the sore nipples be a side affect of the clomid or a sign of ovulation??????

I got prescribed 7 days worth, I'm not sure on mg, prescription will be ready to collect Tuesday, I have to take one in the morning and one at night for 7 days then take clomid 50 mg days 2-6.

I hope this is going to be your bfp! fingers crossed!

missangie, I have to start provera for 7 days starting wednesday 29th, I have never used it before, when are you starting yours? It will be good to have someone to go throught this with, I hope we are together in our cycles good luck to you too!

Im going to take the first provera pill tonight and will take it for 5 days. Ive taken it a few times before. for both 10 days and 5 days. The first time my period didnt start for 13 days after the last pill, the next it was like 2 days after the last pill and then it was 7 or 8 days after. I hate not knowing! Ill let you know when Im on day 1 and you should keep me updated too!

Oh I will, I don't know what to expect, I am on CD106 today! so I hope it works for me, I cant wait to actually be "trying" again! although we are still having sex, we know its most likely not getting us anywhere! Is this your first cycle on clomid? hopefully we can keep each other company through it

 

[LesleyL]

weird u are taking the provera 2 times a day???? i bet its 10 mg twice a day. i don't think you can get any other mg of it.

missangie-did you have recent blood work? if your bloods showed you didn't o, maybe that's why dr told you to start the provera mid-cycle???

nope the last bloodwork I had done was the cd21 bloodwork last cycle. he didnt even tell me to take a pregnancy test or anything before starting it. luckily, since ive been doing OPKs and charting i know i havent O'd but still he doesnt know I have been doing that...

Hi yeah I just checked, it is 10mg twice a day, one in the morning and one iat night. Its probably because I have went so long without one and by the looks of my internal scan he said there is not much there to come out so so he wants to make sure it def comes, he also said that because there is not much I have to count the first show of any type of blood, spotting, wipe etc as CD1 as opposed to the normal of waiting for full flow (as he said I might not actually get a full flow)

ugh I just wish we didn't have to go through any of this! why can't I just come off my pill, have unprotected sex and wham! preggers!?!

 

[LesleyL]

wish it was that easy lily! it sucks to have to take the provera. it did make me feel alot better after my first bleed from it because i hadn't had a period in about 7 months before i took it. now its just routine every month....pg test, provera, clomid and opks. haha. i wish i owned a pharmacy, it would save me alot of running around

angie- that is strange he didn't even mention testing or anything. my doc didn't do bloods/scan on me last month...i went and he upped my clomid to 100 mg when i showed him all my neg opks for the month. after he wrote the script and handed it to me, he finally asked if the nurse did a pg test on me there.i told him no, and it was pointless cause i took one that am......and about every am for the 5 days prior to me being there. its funny how they are so irresponsible. i'm a nurse myself, so i know how doctors can be.

 

[caz & bob]

good luck girls i am on my 4th round of clomid hope we all get these bfps soon x x x

 

[missangie]

do you ladies taking clomid bd every day or every other day around ovulation time???

 

[LesleyL]

they say to every other day, then when you get pos opk or suspect ovulation, do it 3 days in a row. i have been doing it everyday. actually, i think next cycle i will stop that. the day i thought i o'd, dh didn't want to do it. he said all the sex we'd been having was making him sore down there (dunno if this is true, or it he just didn't feel like doing it).

don't worry though, i forced him to later that night haha

haha, good work! My Dr said to every other day is fine but I like what you said about doing it 3 days in row when you get a pos opk. I think Ill try that this first month (assuming I actually get a pos opk and ovulate!)
