Please come here Clomid users!!!

Well af came and im now cd3 and I went for my u/s today and I was cysts free! thank God! So the f/s decided for me to take clomid on cd3-7 instead of cd5-9. I responded very well last month so not sure why they switched the cd's.... does anyone know the difference of taking clomid on cd3-7 and cd5-9??? Well I go next week to have a test done to make sure that my tubes are free of fibroids and cysts... praying my results are good... gettng nervous :/ then I go for my u/s next week to see how I responded to the clomid and that day we will determine my trigger shot day and the day IM going to be doing my first IUI.... oh gosh Im really praying this is the month.... the f/s he really likes to pair up clomid and the iui... he said they go hand in hand... he said since im 25 and had conceived in the last year that it makes it a little more promising... but I dont want to get my hopes up too much! how is everyone else doing?>????

Sorry to hear about AF showing up! My AF is still hidden and I posted a pic in the pregnancy test forums about a line that showed up after the limit last night and this morning. Wishful thinking ? Probably I'm trying to stay positive though. I'm glad to hear no cysts or anything. I wonder why they changed what cycle day you took clomid, maybe it has to do with ovulating earlier?

I talked to the doc. today and he said that taking it earlier will make you have more eggs. So praying that happens for me!! oh wow your cd29 w/ no af in sight! sounds pretty promising... when will you test? do you have to take provera to help af start? are you have any symptoms?? ill try and find your hpt pic. good luck keep us posted!

AF showed up, it was very hard for me and not excited about doing this another month . Trying to stay positive!! I will know tomorrow if my dose will be upped or not. Hopefully not!! Good luck ladies

aw sorry to hear that jasielle. we are back on the same boat again. i started yesterday

 

[DelilahsMommy]

I took Clomid 50 days 5-9 and bd every day from cd 10-18 (didnt use opks) and a dye test Got pregnant 1st time, but devistatingly lost the pregnancy at 20 weeks. Doing the same dye test and 50 of clomid this month plus iui. fingers crossed for all of us.

 

[LesleyL]

good luck! and sorry for your loss

 

[yazzy]

Lesley - I didn't do OPK's I just tracked cm and cp which so far has given me exact O day each time. I have a feeling I O'd yesterday on cd32, will contact my fs and see where we go from here. I bd'd on the day before O so fingers crossed!

Good luck everyone, fingers crossed this is your month!

 

[beanhunter]

I am not doing opk's either. First month on clomid and day 10 today and having loads of weird twinges. Hoping it's my ovaries finally waking up. Trying bbt but clomid has screwed up my temps so it looks like a mountain range! Any thoughts ladies?

 

[LesleyL]

i don't know. i don't temp either, just use opks twice a day.....

hi everyone

Im starting 100mg of Clomid today and nervous, so hoping to hear from some of you experienced ladies!! I notice most people start at 50mg so I questioned the nurse and she just said my FS is the head of department and has a lot of experience so to go by her suggestion Im nervous about side effects, so please let me know if you had any (especially those that started at 100mg).

wishing you all lots of luck, where are you all in your cycles?

anyone nervous about multiples? I know its only a 10% chance but when she told me it stimulates lots of follicles as was like whoa! Im going back next friday for CD11 bloods and ultrasound and so I guess they will tell me how many follicles are maturing then. anyone know how many is too many and they cancel the cycle?

Im thinking of doing IUI in september if clomid doesnt work.

to everyone

Hi. I also started straight on 100mg. Side effects not too bad, just a few headaches though I've been pretty grumpy today! CD12 today and some really odd left sided pulling pains. Do you think it's ovulation pain? Never had it before so fingers crossed! Temp not gone up yet though.

could be ovulation pains, Ive had that before and people say things feel stronger after clomid. good luck, whats your BDing plan. thanks for replying, glad theres some other people who started on 100mg.

Well my husband and I are on opposite shifts days/nights all week so it's a bit of a struggle. Trying for every other day since cd8 and will carry on maybe til cd18 like that unless it's really obvious that my temps up. Does that sound reasonable? It's hardly very romantic but anything more just won't happen with shifts - only in the house for 45 mins today together!

my FS suggested every other day. I used the ov tests and when I get a positive I always panic and fill in a couple of days inbetween too!! but some of my friends on here got pregnant from just a couple of sessions around ovuation so I dont think quantity is always needed. good luck!!

hi sarah! i am on cd 5 today and on clomid 100 mg days 4-8, so we are very close in our cycle pattern. i started out on 50 mg last month and didn't ovulate. i didn't get bloods/scans. just used opks twice a day from cd 10-22. they were all negative and i never got my period ( i have anovulation AND amenorrhea), so that confirmed it. the doc doubled the dose for month 2.

do you have pcos? i have been tested a few times and the docs say i don't have it.

as far as side effects- i really didn't have any on the 50 mg except a few small hot flashes. i am on day 2 of the 100 mg, and so far nothing (knock on wood).

great to hear from you!! thank you so much for letting me know the symptoms are not bad. Im taking my first pill tonight. Wishing you lots of luck with this cycle...hopefully we can keep in touch on this thread.

Im unexplained infertility as all tests are great and hubby has above average sperm count Im 38 though so could be just an age thing, and just had a polyp removed so that could have been the problem but Im too impatient to wait and try naturally at my age (tried 2 months after polyp removal and nothing). I ovulate already, my FSH is perfect, cycles regular, but my FS suggested Clomid as an extra boost, then next its clomid with IUI.

 

[LesleyL]

Hopefully clomid does the trick for both of us! It is great that you ovulate already. Hopefully it will make your eggs more mature.

Care if I join? I took clomid days 5-9 (50 mg) Definitely felt ovulation pains on my left side on day 14. I'm not 3 dpo. Only symptom now is sore nipples. How is everyone else getting along? Anyone testing around June 19th?

hi! Im quite a bit behind you but would love to see how you get on this cycle so please update!

 

[yazzy]

I'm hoping I can up my dose next month as on 50mg cd2-6 I 'think' I O'd on cd32, today I am 5dpo, AF due 22nd. Not holding out my hopes for this cycle though and am staying pretty chilled about it all.

 

[LesleyL]

i have one more day of clomid. sure hope it works this time around. i will be happy if it just makes me ovulate to know that i can. this dose feels a little different than the 50 mg....i feel crampy a bit in my abdomen the last 2 days. has to be from the pill.

how is everyone else doing???? and welcome, april showers

hoping it works for you! hope the cramps means the follicles are getting ready to shoot out some great eggs!!

Im 3 pills down, 2 to go. so far no side effects at all, hope it stays that way!! FX for everyone this cycle
