Second Round of Clomid

[jenniferlawe]

I would like to join as well. I am on my second round of clomid first round of 100 mg as I did not ov on the 50 mg. this month through me for a loop and I am still a little nervous that I messed it up. I was told to take provera on day five through nine counting from the first day I see blood. I took provera last month as well as thiso th to bring on my period. On Saturday I wiped and saw blood day one I thought this lasted three days very light only when I wiped so o. Wednesday I took my first dose of clomid and on Thursday I saw blood it has continued today so now I think it is my period and that I started clomid on the wrong day. I freaked out yesterday but today I figure I will still ov just may be sooner. Glad I found this thread.
Good luck and baby dust to all

Hi I have done 6 rounds of Clomid at 50mg day 2-6 & not fallen pregnant, age 32 & quite fit. I am unexplained infertility.
I had high hopes for Clomid!! I'm now going to see about IVF at end of month, I hate the whole ttc I always assumed it was easy to fall pregnant..

Hi Jenniferlawe

I would try not to worry i take my clomid Cd2-6 anyway and seeing as my body doesnt conform i last ovulated Cd22 my cycles are 37 very long days lol! So yes I guess you may just ovulate a little sooner but the upside of that is that you don't have to wait as long. Im very impatient today i'm just willing the days away untill I ovulate. Best of luck and keep in touch.

V2R Welcome and I really feel for you that must be so difficult not having a specific reason - i'll keep everything crossed that the IVF does it for you!!!

Imanny welcome too! Its really encouraging to hear you concieved the first time with pcos and clomid. Look forward to hearing from you - stay strong in the 2ww

 

[jenniferlawe]

That would be awesome I hope I ovulate. Last month I did not on 50 mg.

Welcome everyone so nice to see we are not alone.

Hi everyone! Great to have so many of us on the thread now. Imanny - so sorry to hear about your MC, what a hard time that must have been for you, I hope you have some success and happiness soon.
While on clomid have you all been doing much different?! I have cut out alcohol, perhaps the odd glass, but still drinking coffee, working lots etc. etc. I feel like I don't want to do ANYTHING to jeopardise my chances. My gyno was away yesterday when I rang for my progesterone results and apparently she is the only one who can tell me them even though the results are back! (grrr) and I think sometime over the next three days I am going to take a preg. test...not that I really 'feel anything/diff' but its the earliest I can take one....how soon did you find out Imanny that you were preg. with your first on clomid? I am wondering if this round and then the next two rounds of 100mg dont work if I will be increased to 150mg....that is the highest amount right? Fingers crossed for us all!!!!! x

I just wanted to let you know that I was on clomid 50mg and did not ovulate...and I took it days 5-9...then this month I have taken it days 1-5 and have ovulated...so now just waiting...I was on my period while I was taking it...I also did not get positive OPK's since on clomid so I thought I did not ovualte this cycle but progesterone checked showed O...so yea you can O and it can be anywhre from 5 to 9 days after your last clomid pill...I have read that somewhere so not sure how right it is though...GL and lots of baby dust...

 

[jenniferlawe]

Thank you. I am hoping just for the chance to get pregnant. If I don't ov I don't have a chance. Fingers crossed and baby dust to all

 

[agape love]

Hey ladies just reading through the thread. I am currently on 2nd round of increase dosage of 100mg. Did not ovulate the first round of 50mg. I was diagnosed with PCOS Feb 2012.

Wishing nothing but babydust for us all!

AnnaNp, i conceived on the second round of clomid 100mg. During ttc i just limit my intake of alcohol and coffee. It is good that you are taking care of yourself, AnnaNp. The only thing that was diff that time was that i went for a vacation with my friends during the 2ww. I really enjoyed myself and wasn't thinking too much about getting pregnant ( tww always drives me nuts). Few days before my period was due, i remembered feeling bloated and been having constipations (sorry tmi!). I tested 1 or 2 days after my period was due and got a BFP.

Funny thing was, even on the second pregnancy (which i miscarried), i only conceived on the month that i thought i was not going to conceive.

I think if i don't conceive this month after 2 rounds of clomid, i wan' t to ask my doc if i can take higher dosage. My body doesn't seem to respond to 100mg this time. When i went for scan on cd13, my follicles were small, just 10mm...and i only feel cramp during cd13, and nothing after that so i guess this is not my month. Hope for better luck nx cycle...

Ok so the OH now thinks I'm totally nuts. He announced he is away with work for 2 days when I'm due to ovulate...cue upset me and I suggested maybe I could go with him - the look of horror to then be told its only 2 days! I was trying to explain they are the ONLY few days so I'm praying I O early or late.

Am I really nuts for wanting to go with him?

 

[sasha0430]

Well I am 15 DPO according to my FF chart...My temp were still high this morning so I decided to test and BFN :wacko... so much for high temps...now I am waiting on AF so that I can start 3rd round of clomid or meet with dr to see what other options we have...both of us have tests done and they were normal so who knows..I feel like ttc is a second full time job...good luck to all of you and lots of baby dust...

 

[AnnaNP]

Def Sasha - TTC is such a full time job!! constantly on the brain. Have had a pretty upsetting day today as the gynecologist told me that 100mg didn't work for me, Progest. results still at an all time low, therefore didn't ovulate Going to start me on 150mg now. I have decided to cut out my exercise regime, as I enjoy a lot of high intensity work outs, running, spin classes etc. and now I am going to walk, maybe some yoga and swim, low impact stuff to see if I get my periods back for a start. As now I have to take a 3 week course of the contraceptive drug to then get a period to then start clomid (such a process). Hopefully the added weight and maybe higher progesterone levels (if they happen) will work with doing this, just dont want to gain a lot of weight and get out of my normal 'anna routine' to no avail.....how is everyone else getting on at the moment??

 

[nimbec]

Hi Anna

Im so sorry to hear your news grrrr it can be so disheartening!! Feel free to message anytime. This TTC game takes us on one hell of a rollercoaster. As you know I stopped high intensity workouts, well I stopped exercise all together for a whole month (nearly killed me - i a bit of an addict!) and my levels shot up - fingers crossed the same will happen for you. Its hard not exercising and putting on weight but Im determind to get pregnant and if this is what i need to do than sobe it!

Im really disheartened today too, just found out the OH is away with work right around the time i 'should' O He now officially thinks i'm bonkers as I asked to go with him!

Sascha good luck with it all we are thinking of you!
Good luck and wishing baby dust to all!!

 

[AnnaNP]

Ohhh that is such bad timing!!!! Really hope you do ovulate..!!! And that is very helpful to know that your levels shot up once you cut back on exercise etc. we seem the same in terms of our enjoyment in it/feel good endorphins and all that! I am just walking now and eating a lot more....feeling it already :s Did you completely cut everything or just tone back? Def. worth it though - you are right. I just hope that putting on some weight or stopping high intensity is the answer!!! Also wondering whether or not to go back on metformin hmmm...how did you keep sane with not exercising?! just busied yourself? Hey some things I have heard are good for you with trying to conceive are: grapefruit and barley grass!!

 

[nimbec]

Hi thanks im hoping I do too!! feeling extreemley inpatient today tho grrr! I did cut out everything and tbh i'm really struggling with it, trying to keep myself occupied in other ways. I decided that I had to give it a good go and I could always go back to it after being pregnant (positive thinking!!!) I feel really lethargic atm and would love to do a spin class but everytime i get that feeling I just try and think about getting pregnant. It does seem that we are simular in how we are - maybe we can crack this together and hopefully discussing being pregnant some time soon...

I'll def look into the grapefruit as i dont eat any atm - any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Why have you got to do 3 weeks of provera? i only did 10days to induce period... just thinking it may speed things up for you.

 

[agape love]

Hey ladies....just reading do the thread.

Question I am so confused of the 10 day provera...I only took 5 days and started AF the day after. Then clomid days 5-9. Last month I didn't ovulate at all so hopefully the increase in clomid will help.

The Gf juice helps to increase CM. I have also heard EPO is a good alternative too.

Wishing you ladies lots of baby dust.

 

[AnnaNP]

Hi ladies,

I tried Provera but it didnt work for me i.e didn't get a period! that is why she (gyno) has always prescribed me a 3 wk course of the contracep. pill just to get a period! she puts me on Yasmin as apparently that increase progest. and oestrogen levels, both of which are low for me. Would be a heck more ideal if Provera worked. I have only tried it the once however so wondering if it would be worth trying again?? hmm dont know.

Hi aww that must be so frustrating for you! It took 14 days for me to start a d then it was very brief! Just enough to start the clomid. I wonder if perhaps they could inject you to make you ovulate this is the next stop for me...at least then you don't have to wait 3 weeks? Just a thought Hun also whereabouts in the world are you?

 

[nimbec]

Hi agape

Its such a nightmare that our bodies seem to have a mind of their own! When do you start your next round? Are you taking 100mg?

 

[AnnaNP]

I am in New Zealand 27 and have been with my partner for over 2 years, have been trying for a year now but only went on clomid oct/nov last year. Yes I know! so frustrating! will be interesting when I put on some weight though if my hormones level out a little. Fingers crossed. How long have you all been trying?
