Hi ladies,
I have been stalking a bit, do you mind if I join?

I am 37, DH is 41, TTC since April. Came off the BCP in March, and periods have been irregular ever since. I have had some crazy short cycles, so I know I am not ovulating all the time. My job is also stressful, I teach special ed. I just had a full lab work up done, and my Prolactin level is a bit high(norm is 3-20, mine was 35). My OB put me on Clomid because of my messed up cycles and I didn't ovulate last cycle, either. DH got a SA done, and he has sperm issues.

I am a little nervous, tomorrow is day 1 of Clomid, I am doing CD 3-7. Should I be taking Mucinex right now, to help with CM? Any other suggestions?

Looking forward to seeing you ladies get some BFP's and hope there is one soon for me, too!

Welcome! FX'd for you! i used preseed. and there is a thread i am in called honey and cinnamon babies! you should join. you take a spoon full of honey and sprinkle cinnamon on top and take that once a day. It is supposed to help with blood flow and very good for you. A few have gotten BFPs for the first time after trying this and they have been ttc for a year or more. Its worth a shot i did it for half this month and i got my BFP! not sure if thats why, but those two things helped me. good luck

Just a quick question to you all. I'm not on clomid yet, but my CD bloodwork showed low estrogen, testosterone and high prolactin, plus my LH/FSH ratio is 2:1. Waiting for my appt with the specialist. Ultrasound on my ovaries will be in a week in a half.

I'm guessing this will be their first step?

Hi Lisa,
I work with high functioning kids with autism, grades K-3. I like my job but one of my kids has major behaviors and it's exhausting. I know that's part of the reason why we can't conceive, as I am stressed a lot. Hope Clomid helps! I started today. It's nice to have you guys to chat with!

Thanks! I used preseed, began temping, and started taking a tablespoon of honey with a sprinkle of cinnimon

Hey Ladies!! I'm a newbie to clomid! I'm on my 4th pill out of 10 of 10mg of provera to induce my period. once I start my period I'll be taking 50mg of clomid CD 5-9! Doc said ovulation should take place around cd 14. I'm starting clomid because I don't ovulate. My progesterone is out of wack and always SUPER low, a 1.1 last time bloods were done on cd 23.

Wondering if it works?!

I used preseed last cycle but im trying the h&c this cycle! hopefully thats the missing ingredient!!

I think I may try honey and cinnamon! Just a spoonful each day?

 

[jmandrews]

Ok!!! yes thats all spoonful of honey with cinnamon sprinkled on top

 

[Helena_]

I think I'll just go back to royal jelly. I was taking it but hated how sweet it was so I'll just take the freeze dried pill form! Maybe add cinnamon supplements to that

 

[Helena_]

is it ok to take cinnamon with metformin?

Where is the cinnamon thread?

 

[jmandrews]

Good Morning Ladies,
I wanted to add another post, I posted to this forum on Friday 11/18 to see if anyone else had had spotting after AF ended while taking Clomid, I started my first round of Clomid 50mg this cycle, and ever since my AF ended, I have had some dark brown spotting. I was also put on Provera prior to the Clomid to induce my cycle. My cycles are very irregular, and we have been TTC since Sept 2010. Well.....today I got a call back from my doctor. She said that it's not common to have the spotting for so long, but it shows that my hormones are out of whack and that I still can ovulate even when having the spotting. She thinks that the Clomid will help regulate my cycle, and that this might only have happened this cyle. So we will see if I get the BFP the first week of December or if I am calling to get a refill of the Clomid.............Let the 2WW begin
