Hi ladies, can I join this thread? I just went to my dr yesterday and she prescribed me 50mg of clomid cd 3-7. I actually started AF yesterday, (after thinking I was pregnant) so I will start clomid tomorrow. I took clomid years ago, but when they did a blood draw on cd 21 they always camed back saying my hormone levels were not high enough to cause ovulation. I have since had a child (3 1/2 yr old boy now) but had to take injections to get pregnant. Now that we're trying for our second baby, the dr wants me back on clomid to see if it works, before going the injection route because of how well my body reacted to the injections. I really hope the clomid works for me. I go to dr on March 12th to get blood drawn to test my progesterone levels. Hoping for the best! Best of luck to you all!!!

I don't know, it's kind of different each month. My cycles range from 28-45 days. But my period tracker on my phone is usually pretty accurate, and with out clomid, I should be due to ovulate on Saturday. Don't know of clomid will make it sooner, or later.

Yeah thats what im waiting on too.. I should be oing soon..

keep us posted..

Welcome hope. What type of injections were they? Just being nosey!!

 

[Hope585]

Nessaw- the injections were called Gonal F. I gave them to myself in the stomach for 5 days, then an ultrasound confirmed I had six mature eggs that would be released with the Ovidrel injection. Had timed intercourse, then 10 days later got a BFP. The Dr was shocked that there was only one baby, since I had 6 eggs, but I was happy with one

Just picked up my prescription. The doctor has me taking 50mg twice a day from day 5-9 of my cycle.

Did anyone else start at 100mg? The pharmacist seemed a bit unsure about the dosage as most people start at 50mg a day!

I think it's just the doctors preference by what I'm told. I was put on 50 mg on cycle day 5-9 as well. How many pills do you have? I have 10 and take both pills at the same time. I was thinking that it is 50 mg like each pill is 25mg each?? Please don't tell me I am crazy and read the directions wrong~~

Oh Goodness! I guess I am on 100mg afterall! I called the pharmacy and they said that each pill I take is 50mg and that I take them both at one time. Glad I ck'd bc I thought I was actually taking 50mg

Hi Ladies!

I'm currently 12dpo and waiting for AF to arrive! (Temps are dropping and still getting BFNs so I now I'm out this round!)

I am planning to start clomid this cycle.

Just wondering if you ladies have any tips or stories to share? I'd particularly like to hear success stories for the first round of clomid! (And up to 3 rounds because that's the extent of my prescription!

We're not doing IUIs yet, I'd like to try at home for the first couple cycles!

Share share share!

What milligrams are you starting your clomid? What days did your doctor prescribe it?

 

[tundralife2]

hey! I don't have a success story but I am on my first round of clomid, 100mg day2-6. I just wanted to let you know because I was also wondering about the 100mg (however my fs said 100mg was standard but if I wanted I could do 50mg). I took it first thing in the morning and didn't have many symptoms during the days I took it- a few hot flashes and a bit more emotional. Now I'm on cd10 and have noticed it is making me feel depressed and some hot flashes at times. Hoping my ovaries will start to hurt any day now!
Good luck to you!

I was surprised my doctor started me w/ 100mg too. But I didn't really have side effects and I only had one mature follicle, so it didn't work as intended. She may increase the dosage next cycle if this one didn't work.

I wish my dr would do a u/s but being military I am required to see the doctors on base for a period of time before they will refer us out to a specialist. That makes me insane that I can't go see someone who specializes in this stuff. I have only had a FSH, LH & estridiol drawn and he said that was to make sure that at 40 I am showing no signs of menopause yet. He said that my bloods on that part were within normal limits but bc of my hx of endometriosis he would put me on the clomid and started me out at 100mg too. I am currently on my 3rd round of 100mg. I can feel my ovaries working like crazy.

Tonight will be my last night of taking it! I have this huge fear of missing ovulation! Worried it'll happen too soon, before I start testing!

Did Clomid give any of you guys vivid dreams? I have had pregnancy or baby related dreams like mad in the past 3 nights. Dreamt about twins, dreamt about having a home birth, etc etc.

That's funny about the dreams but I have them and I think it's not because of the clomid but because I have baby on the brain everyday!

I start testing at CD8 or CD9 because I don't want to miss either. I only started using OPK's last cycle and I got a positive at CD13 BUT my husband is military and was out of town during my week window so we totally blew it!!

I'm buying some OPK's this weekend and I test 2 times per day. Once in the morning before work and then when I get home.

Mindgames77- Hello! Good luck with your first round of Clomid! I am currently on my 3rd round (no success story yet) My first round of Clomid I took 50mg days 3-7 only had some hotflashes and that was it.for side effects. That month ended with a BFN. My 2nd round of Clomid was very strange... I toon 50mg again but this time days 5-9 and had zero symptoms but AF showed on CD 14!!! I was so upset because I obviously had not even ovulated yet... My doctor had no idea why that happened. So now I am on my 3rd of Clomid 50mg days 5-9 and today is CD 6. I have started my hotflashes which I am looking at as a good thing. Anyways I am hoping the 3rd time is the charm for me and I wish all of you other ladies babydust and good luck!!

Hey again Noele0002! I am so crazy because I thought I was taking 50 mg but called the pharmacy today and it's actually 100mg!! Each of the 2 pills I take per day are 50mg each. He started me out on the higher dose. (still hasn't worked) Anyways, I am a CD behind you. I'm on CD5 and started my clomid on days 3-7 this time instead of the 5-9. I am keeping my fxd for you too. That is weird about your last AF and you starting at CD14. Strange. You'll be using your OPK's so I'm sure you will get the smiley face and it will happen!!

 

[mindgames77]

I was on 100mg days 5-9 and I got my + OPK this early evening.

Had a positive clear blue opk this morning but my digi was still negative. Then at about 5pm my digi was positive! Yaaaay!

 

[mindgames77]

On and sorry I missed your earlier post, I took two 50mg pills at once.

 

[lilrojo]

im still waiting

 

[mindgames77]

I've been watching a lot of YouTube TTC vlogs lately. Just watched one where a girl had her first round of clomid, she didn't ovulate until CD 31 and got pregnant on her first round. There's always hope.

I'm planning to bd tonight and tomorrow night, then I suppose its the two week wait for me! Good luck to us all!
