Ladies!!!
So many posts I don't know where to start!!

everyone who is new

Thank you TurboTurtle80, TeddyBearPug, scerena and Lily7!! I thought 100mg was a lot to start on, but guess not??

Congrats to those of you who are approaching ovulation or are in the 2ww!!! YAY for clomid

I will take my first clomid on Sat!! I don't know if I should take it in the morning or evening.... I read taking it in the evening can help with the side effects.. I suffer from migraines every once and awhile.. Doctor said taking it at night will make me sleep through most of the side effects.. What do you ladies think??

I just got back from my pre op at the hospital and blood-work.. I did not know that I had to have 2 pre ops! I am sick on doctors and hospitals!! I hope my insurance covers both of them I am at home for the rest of the night... Gonna pop in a movie and cuddle up in a blanket Trying not to think about the procedure tomorrow or the horrible bleeding I am sure I will have after!
All I can think about is procedure+hsg+clomid=

 

[scerena]

Prettynpink- hey! I took my tablet at 7pm had a few side effects but nothin too major to be honest apart frm mood swings lol! I also get migraines and took it at night, next round I'm going to take it in the morning/ afternoon and see how that makes me feel. But yes I took my first round at night.

Goodluck for tomorrow Hun and try and rest up as much as you can tonight xxx

I actually prefer to take in in the morning before I go to work. Usually i stay busy and don't think about it to much. When i take it in the afternoon I notice the hot flashes more. I have to take mine at 8pm this cycle and I hate it!

 

[LoloShells]

I've been taking them at 10:30 am and I really haven't had any side effects. Loose bowels which is a nice change of pace for me but that's not something I could have slept through anyways. I figure if its in your system you'll have side effects regardless of when the pill is taken. You might sleep through some but you'll be awake for others so might as well just take it whenever fits your schedule best. Just my opinion of course.

 

[LesleyL]

i usually take my clomid at 1 pm at work on my lunch break. a few hot flashes here and there, but i'd rather have them during the day than at night.

 

[Holi2459]

Im on CD 8 today . i took my clomid literally just before i went to sleep at like half 10, 11pm
ive never had side effects.

im also trying preseed this month aswell that i ordered from ebay.

I nearly used it last night as my bf was gonna be late home and i thought well as he walks through the door ill em 'take him to bed' lol but (my boyfriend is a boxer and trains most evenings) my bf came in looking very angry and upset and he said that he had quite badly been punched in the balls and he wasnt up for any BD. so i sort of was gutted as i had wasted some preseed and then had to sit on the loo waiting for it to come out (TMI sorry) lol but also now im worried how this accident will affect his sperm? what do u all think? he was told when we first started TTC that after a sperm analyst his sperm is slow moving but he has like double the normal amount so it sort of evens its self out to normal.


and also just to add to ur poll. i would love a lil Girl. i see little girls with there mums and think its the cutest thing . but obv just a happy healthy happy would be amazing!

No side affects from me also to report on CD 15!! Have had a more darker line on my stick but it's not quite a +. Last time I took Clomid it was cycle 3 when I remember getting any side effects like hot flushes and ovary pain so I think these things happen the longer you take it.

 

[Holi2459]

ive never used opk's before.. what time do you do it. like in ur first wee of the day? or is it more than once a day?
and what CD day do u start using them?
xx

 

[scerena]

Yesss my cyst has gone down in 2 days by 2cm! So I'll be taking my clomid tomorrow I love the nurse I just saw so I will be doing cd3 rather than cd2 this cycle xx

 

[scerena]

I usually start opk's frm about cd9 but I never get a strong positive... Because I haven't been ovulating...
Use them once or twice a day avoid 1st morning urine- hold your wee in as long as you can- up to 4 hours and try and limit your fluid intake 2 hours before testing- if I do 2 tests I tend to do them at 2pm and 6/7pm
Hope that helps a little x

 

[caz & bob]

girls chill day today why my son is off school i have pain in both of my legs today and on my left side well got my scan tomorrow wooppp to see whats going on weather hes this morning but it looks like its going to brighten up now woopp x x x

 

[Holi2459]

scerena - Yay, thats good news. well i hope this cycle goes well for you. you are only a few days behind me so keep us posted ive had slight stomach cramp this morning, very dull but random . i may start using opk's 2morrow morning. and hopefully my dear boyfs balls would have healed so we can start the BD lol

i think ill opk at half 7 when i wake up as i always have to run to the loo straight away then when i get home at 6 ill test again.
every time i see some on sale or in an offer i always buy some. i have a whole draw at home full of OPK'S and HPT'S lol

xxxx

 

[Holi2459]

also random q.... but do any of you take anything fo hayfever during ur cycle. i suffer so badly so i have to take those 1 day tablets but im worried they will mess things up? does anyone know anything about it?
i didnt take any while i was taking clomid just incase x

 

[daopdesign]

xx

That's great news scerena good luck and keep us posted!!

I'm testing at around 2-3pm and try to steer clear of having a wee a couple of hours before. Best thing really is to actually avoid drinking anything mid morning to the time you test then you can make sure your urine isn't watered down!!

Hi, hope you don't mind if I join in

My name is Lee-anne, but get called Annie, I'm 32 and from Australia. I was on clomid back in 2004 due to having PCOS and trying for 5 yrs to fall pregnant. I fell pregnant with my son on my 6th round , found out I was pregnant christmas day 2004, so it was a wonderful christmas present

My son was born in September 2005 , and after having him we tried to fall naturally on our own because I started getting periods every now and then. We had success in 2009 falling pregnant without the help of clomid but unfortunatley I miscarried at 17 weeks After that I never got a period again till December 2010.

So back in May we went to a specialist and he put me on clomid right away, the day I saw him I was already on CD10 and he told me to go home that night and start taking the clomid. I wasn't to keen seeing as it was a bit later then normal, but he said it could possibly work. Well it didn't, never ovulated. But I did get a period back on the 25th june, I have just taken my last clomid tablet tonight, took 50mg CD 2- 6. So here's hoping it works!

Glad to have found an active group, and from what I have read, you all seem like wonderful ladies and I am looking forward to sharing this journey with you all and getting to know you all better

Take Care xo
