Starting clomid!

[AlliCat]

I want to say a big congrats to lilrojo and Ali for the pregnancy's!! A happy & healthy pregnancy to you both!

Also want to extend a big congrats to Tundra for ovulating very well without clomid! That is wonderful news!

Nessaw---I hope your journey is a good one and hoping the best for you!

Saying hello to the new ladies that have joined us recently!! This is an awesome thread and have gotten 3 or 4 pregnancies so far!

Update on me....this is my 4th cycle on 100 mg on 5-9 (I handle clomid great so that is a bonus! no side effects at all). I ovulated great on 1 & 2 and no ovulation on 3 and now I am 5 dpo (another great ovulation) so I am in the waiting game.
I haven't really been obsessing this cycle to much....thinking it isn't going to happen anyway. IF it doesn't then I think I am going in to get a HSG done and see what my tubes are doing...we have timed sex perfect, ovulating good, and still no +! I am thinking that maybe my tubes developed scarring tissue from the surgery (hoping otherwise but just a gut instinct)...
But anywho..going to sign off for now and will pop in hopefully in about 6-7 days and have a + HPT picture to show people!!

to all and good luck to everyone!

Thanks and hopefully we all continue to get BFP's in this thread! Hubby and I were not obsessing this Clomid cycle and enjoyed "playing" every other day instead of everyday and I think that that was our ticket... Fxed for everyone!!

Nessaw--good luck to you hun and that is a bummer about having to take a break from ttc because of those stupid measels! Please continue to stalk this thread!

Faither- welcome back. Been wondering about you. Good luck in the TWW. Are you symptom spotting? I see that you were kinda being a little chill this TWW. I am crossing my fingers and toes for you. Oh and you made me snicker a bit on the "congrats" for my ovulation. Hehe...it's funny the things us women ttc get excited over. Thank you though because I am very happy myself.

I am CD10 today. Not sure if I will be using my OPK's to confirm the surge this cycle or not. Was told to not take clomid again this cycle because of the cyst the doctor found on my left side. Was afraid to over stimulate them. I am just glad I did ovulate last cycle. I am sure I will get weak this week and break donw and buy some OPK's. I thought about checking my temps next cycle but who knows. I'm just not really into it all right now. It's so complicated and I get my feelings hurt so easy so it seems to be easier to just not care about it either way. Doesn't that sound mean of me? I've still been keeping my O'ing and when I need to BD to myself. DH doesn't know so I don't pressure him. He actually asked me at lunch to BD with him tonight. Go figure I am not near O'ing though--grrrr but hey, at least he asked! ;-)

How is everyone else? Welcome and good luck to the newbies!!

Tundra - what days do you start using the OPK? I'm on CD 7 today and taking my last clomid pills tonight. It's my first month on clomid, so it's all a bit new to me. I've used the OPK in the past though starting around CD12 and they have always worked for me. Can clomid affect the results of the test?

 

[lilrojo]

They recommend waiting 3 days so I would start testing on cd10

Good luck with the MMR jab, Nessaw. It must be so frustrating that you can't TTC for 4 months I really hope the months whizz by and you get your BFP as soon as you are back in business!

I started on Clomid yesterday (day 2, 50mg) and am free of side effects so far (touch wood!!) The only difference is being in a GREAT mood! I get happier with each pill I pop. I think DH wants me to take them every day! Tee-hee-hee! I'm also on a health kick this month; cutting out gluten, caffeine and sugar, drinking RRL tea, eating loads of pumpkin and sunflower seeds (urgh!) and taking some extra vitamins. I'm hoping we will get lucky on our 37th month TTC!

Good luck lovely ladies!

Lilrojo - thanks, that's what I was thinking but wasn't sure.

Eviebee - I really think that clomid may make me happier too, it's really strange. I keep meaning to stop by the health food store on the way home to pick up some sunflower seeds too, I love them!

 

[lilrojo]

You ladies are lucky... clomid gave me bad mood swings.. I was very irritable.. and still am now that im pregnant lol

Us lucky? I think that is you sweetie, I would rather be irritable and pregnant than happy on clomid

 

[lilrojo]

LOL that is true.. and hope you can join me soon to be irritable..

 

[Hopethisyear]

Haha..thanks! Me too

 

[EvieBee]

Day 4 of taking clomid today and this morning my BBT went crazy!! (My chart is in my signature). Is that normal on clomid? I hope so!! I've had a bit of discomfort in my back around my ovaries and lots of nerve discomfort in my thighs, but I read that was ok. I'm still super happy too! Hahaha!

How is everyone else getting on? Good I hope

 

[lilrojo]

Yes clomid can def affect the temps.. it makes them higher than normal..

 

[EvieBee]

Thanks Lilrojo

 

[Hopethisyear]

EvieBee, this is my first cycle on Clomid too and my temps are all over the place.

Can I ask you ladies how many of you O'ed earlier/ later/ on time with clomid? Today is CD 1 for me and was going to do my first clomid cycle this month. Hubby is travelling for 3 days on business later this month. If my cycle remains it's regular length 33/ 34 days he would be back in time for O, but if my cycle is shortened by 3 - 4 days we would miss it I want to get started darn it, already had to wait last month too

Any difference in which CD you take the clomid in terms of earler/ later O?

I've used the OPK in the past though starting around CD12 and they have always worked for me. Can clomid affect the results of the test?

It kind of depends on the lenght of your cycle but I can give you an example with mine. I hear from my dr that on a normal 28 day cycle peopel generally O around CD13-15. I have a 31-32 day cycle and I have been O'ing around CD16-17 and I know this from starting my OPK's on CD12 and then testing until I get it to negative again. I know the instructions say that you should only test until you get a positive but I get about 2 days that have the positive so I want to know. I am using clear blue digitals the ones with the smiley face if it's positive so no guessing. I like them but are expensive then regular ones. However; they come 20 to a pack and if you begin at cycle day 12 or then you can use next month too.

how's everyone holding up?

will be starting my 100mg clomid tonight...eek!excited, scared at the same time...lets bring more BFP's in this thread!
Do you guys know if I should continue going to gym this cycle?i do aerobics at gym,but if its going to mess up my chances then i'd rathe rnot go..please advice.

 

[lilrojo]

The first month I took clomid I ovulated later I took 50mgs cd 5-9 ovulated on about cd 23 I think .. second month I took 100mgs cd 3-7 and ovulated on cd16.. I normally oed cd 20..

 

[nessaw]

Peanut I was on 100mg cd2-6 and it pushed my ov back from cd9/10 to cd12/13 and evened out my cycles to 26/27 days long. Good luck.

Will keep stalking u ladies and hoping for lots of bfps. Had my jab the other day-I cried when the nurse asked if there was any chance I was pg!!!

 

[Hopethisyear]

How's everyone doing with the clomid?

I'm on cd 13 now with no side effects. Been testing with OPK's and have not got a surge yet, hopefully soon!
