Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[brandi91]

Angela, I'm so sorry!!!!! I am so frustrated for you! Let us know what the doctor says.

 

[brandi91]

I'm on CD 12. I figure we will start BDing tonight. I wanted to start a couple of days ago. Hopefully I'll have the big O this month.

Fx for you!!

Not much going on here. I am working late this week so I have way to much time to think about ttc. I am getting very anxious but I also just want the time to pass so I can get on with it.

It lowers testosterone and sugar levels naturally in your body, it definitely works it help reduce my pcos symptoms at the very least

Oh, I could really deal with that. I will have to see if I can find any.

Brandi get to BDing!

AFM Af is full blown here! I go on Friday to get an ultrasound to make sure I have no cysts and can start Clomid. Fingers crossed!

Red rose I hope she shows for you soon so you can start your cycle!

 

[brandi91]

Redrose any sign of AF?

Dogmommy good luck with your scan!

CD 14. Don't think I've O'd yet based on Temps. Also, I feel like my CM has dried up. Last time I noticed a lot!

 

[RedRose19]

Hi ladies it's finally CD 2 today! Af arrived yesterday suddenly and heavy, v weird but great, starting Clomid tonight. I'm still trying to decide if I should take 150 even though they said stick to the 100 but it obviously didn't work

 

[dogmommy]

Yay redrose! Fingers crossed for you. I start my clomid tonight. I do have an endometrioma growing back hopefully that doesn't hurt my chances.

Brandi did you ever O? I'm hoping you get some success!

 

[brandi91]

Congrats, Red! So happy for you!

Dogmommy, not yet I bought some OPKs today and took one. It was negative. I'm CD 16. Trying to hold onto some hope for this month! We have been doing some BDing on CD 12, 14, and 15. I'm Cd 16 today, but hubby will be gone until tomorrow. We will probably try to BD then as well through CD 21. I'm not getting any scans done, but I'm at least going in for day 21 blood work. If it doesn't show ovulation, I'm just going to ask if I can go ahead and start Prometrium for my next cycle rather than waiting till Cd 35 to test.

Sorry about the endo, dogmommy. Fingers crossed it won't hurt any chances! What CD are you?

 

[krissie328]

Brandi- so not everyone will o on cd 14 on clomid. For me I o'd on cd 16 and 18 on my cycles. This would cause thr 21 day check to be invalid as it is designed to show ovulation 7 days after you o. So if you don't o until cd 18 you shouldn't take the test until cd 25.

With that said I have read if you haven't o'd by 14 days after your last pill it is unlikely you will (due to clomid causing it).

 

[brandi91]

Thanks Krissie! I always wonder how long I should wait because I've heard of it making people O late. Tomorrow is CD 17. Just took another O test but it was negative. Ugh.

 

[krissie328]

I usually count myself out by cd 25 if I haven't o'd. Since I do opks and temp I know if I do or don't by then. Cd 19 here. I had a lot of ewcm today but kinda not reading anything into it. I have had quite a bit this cycle with no o.

 

[Vankiwi]

CD19 for me too. No o yet but blazing positive OPK so hopefully any day now. Siiiiigh I hate this wait!

 

[brandi91]

Good luck Vankiwi! That gives me hope! I had a negative OPK this morning, but my temp was the lowest it's been this month. Maybe the pre-O dip. Wishful thinking!

 

[RedRose19]

Hi ladies had anyone experienced chest pain while on Clomid? It is a possible side effects but it seems like a serious one, my shoulder hurts too. So it could be the pain from my shoulder is going to my back and chest but I'm only 25 can't be heart problems surely? I read Clomid can cause clots in the lungs aahhh I shouldn't of googled

 

[brandi91]

Red, I haven't experienced that! Hopefully it's unrelated to the Clomid....I would just watch it and go to the doctor if it progresses.

Just took another OPK and it's negative, although I had clear stretchy CM. Starting to think this cycle is a no-go. I hate that I don't seem to be responding to the clomid! Ugh.

 

[dogmommy]

Red rose that's no good. I haven't experienced chest pain with clomid but this is only my second time with it.

Brandi I'm sorry that you're not getting a positive opk I know clomid can play tricks on us.

Afm I'm on CD 6 and have my follicle scan on Saturday. I'm hoping that I get three again. I was reading stories about women with multiples and it seems like they were taking clomid in most the stories. All I want is 1 !

 

[brandi91]

Good luck Dogmommy! Update us ASAP!

I told hubby last night that I didn't seem to be responding to the medicine. We were out to dinner. He almost cried. He is not a crier. So I know that he must have been genuinely sad. I feel so bad to see the toll this is taking on him.

 

[RedRose19]

I'm sorry Brandi I it is so hard but as long as you are strong for each other you can get through this together big hugs if this cycle doesn't work you can try the next dose or some people respond better to other meds similar to Clomid

Hi ladies was told the chest pain was muscular thanks God. Just stressed etc
