The Beanstalkers (formally ttc buddy?)

Oh man that stinks. Hmm I wonder if it changed anything for you!! So you ovulated 10 days after your last pill, I'm wondering when I should expect to ov. Now I'm kind of nervous 25 mg isnt enough, you were on 50 and you ovulate regularly!
 
So jealous, ladies! The 27th can not get here fast enough for me!
 
Lisa, I happened upon someone in another thread who was on 25mg of clomid cd2-6 and they successfully ovulated each clomid cycle and ended up with a BFP! Hopefully you get the same thing!
 
No way!! Yay!! Thanks for sharing. I can't find anywhere on here who has taken 25 mg even though I made a few posts about it. Thanks Rae, I needed that! What thread is it?
 
hey girls

AF has arrived - boo! Took a HPT just to be sure it was negative before I commence cycle 2 of clomid tomorrow.

What I have found from cycle 1 of clomid:
- I got a positive OPK 2 days earlier than normal (CD13, not CD15).
- FF confirmed O on CD15 though (I usually O on CD15/16).
- My cycle was shorter at 26 days (normally 27).
- I had 2 days of spotting pre AF - dark brown CM. I have had that before but I wasnt expecting it this time as I thought I would have a stronger corpus luteum and therefore longer LP.
- LP was 11 days (usually 12 with spotting on day 12).
- Boobs sore a week before AF.
- Cramps mid cycle.
- LOADS of spots on chin and forehead.
- My temps started falling from 8dpo which was surprising as I thought my prog levels would be higher and support higher temps.
Doesnt sound too promising for me! Haha.

I think I will take B6 complex and folic acid religiously for cycle 2. I also intend to do more exercise and sleep better. Luckily I didnt get any horrible side effects.
 
Lisa, I can't remember which one I saw it on. It was one of the clomid threads I was browsing last night but can't remember which one. Sorry!

Thanks for the info mk8!

I'm still trying to be patient. I already can't wait until Christmas and now I can't wait for my appointment either!
 
Rae - No problem. If you happen across her (or anyone else taking 25 mg again) send me her name or the link to the thread. :)

Mk8 - Sorry your first cycle of Clomid wasn't the magic "fix" you needed. Ugh I hope it doesn't give me any zits, I never had ANY when I was on BCP, ever since coming off I always have 1 or 2 persistent, bright red little buggers. So annoying. Anyway, maybe call your dr about the change in your cycle, as far as the spotting and whatnot. You don't want to keep taking the Clomid if it's having the opposite effect that you want it to.
 
Hi girls, I'm going to stick with clomid for now. Af in full flow today. Spotted brown weds and thurs (yesterday), yesterday I had fresh blood at 10pm but v v light (more than spotting). Dark brown middle of night, now full flow today. Is today cd1 or 2?

Bad period back pain today ��
 
I usually count anything more than spotting as cd 1, so if you were going by that then today would be your cd 1. Hope Clomid works for you this cycle. :)
 
Hey ladies!
Am now into another tww... Although I don't think we stand a chance. It's been really difficult to get the energy to "do it" ..... Lol if u know what I mean! We have both had enough of doing it to to schedule!

Hope the rest of u ladies are ok xx
 
Lisa, how is it going with Clomid? I'm so excited. Only a few more days until my appointment
 
Going ok I guess?? :shrug: No side effects, other than being extremely thirsty all week, which may not even be a related side effect. I'm kinda bummed today, feeling like 25 mg isn't going to be enough. I know it's still super early, but I don't know. :nope:
 
How many days has it been since you last took it? I think I heard ovulation can happen as soon as 5 days after but I've also seen people who took it and didn't ovulate until around CD 20. That would still be an improvement though :)
 
Hehe, yes I know, cd 20 would still be an improvement for me!! I'm on cd 14, took my last pill cd9, so it's been 5 days. Trying my best to be patient, but hoping for a Christmas eggie!! :)
 
So my excitement has now turned to a bit of devastation. I had my appointment today fully expecting to be put on Clomid but I wasn't so lucky. My HSG results were great (as my obgyn already informed me), my blood test came back that now my hormone levels have corrected themselves (obgyn says these fluctuate so she's doesn't put much weight on that), prolactin levels are now slightly elevated which they want to test again, and my ultrasound came back with small follicles around my ovaries (cysts) so PCOS is pretty much confirmed now.

DH's SA was the kicker. It came back with no sperm present. None at all... My obgyn says she's still up for putting me on Clomid but not yet since we we have to deal with DH's situation first. We now have to go back to the fertility clinic to get him retested.

I don't really know what to do at this point. I think I'll probably try to make us an appointment together with the fertility specialist to see what direction we should be going. The only positive to come out of this is that DH was very upset which has been the first indicator that he is as hopeful to have children as I am. Unfortunately, now we may not be able to together.
 
Oh Rae.... I hope it was just a fluke! Please keep us posted on how things go with your DH..... :(
 
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that... is there anything they can do for your DH?
 
I'm not sure Kendra. We just got the results back from my obgyn today and the first step is to get retested in case something went wrong. I've been researching a bit and it seems that if the diagnosis is confirmed there is either nothing to be done or sperm can be harvested (in the case of a blockage). But, this is pretty invasive so I don't know if that will be an option. We're just trying to figure out how to adjust to this new pitfall.
