Hi everyone,

This is my first post!

I'm almost 34, trying for first baby. Not had a period since coming off the pill 6 months ago, an ultrasound showed up PCOS but blood test didn't...

My specialist has given me 3 more months of trying as apparently I could be ovulating but just no period, then if I don't conceive I'm on clomid for 3 months. If that doesn't work, IVF...

I'm pretty sure I'm not ovulating- never had any hint of a second line on the OPKs, the Maybe Baby saliva thing has shown up nothing.

So I'm just finding comfort reading your posts about clomid and trying to figure out what I'm in for!

what is 'bd'?
figured out oh' is other half. Luckily I do have one of those.

any other acronyms I should know about?!

Welcome Chabby!
Bd is
O is ovulation
AF is aunt flow
CP is cervical position
CM is cervical mucus
Etc, I can't think of em all right now. Just ask as you need to
It's surprising that after 6 months of no AF that your doc isn't doing something to get it started. Usually Provera would be prescribed to jump start your cycle. What he is referring to is the first O before you begin AF. But if no AF happens than you haven't O'd.
Clomid can make us ladies feel more extremes of things you normally go through in a cycle. It all depends how your body reacts to it. Either way I love it, thanks to clomid and IUI (intrauterine insemination) I've become pregnant twice now
Good luck.

 

[Chabby]

Thank you!

Thanks for the clarification on the bd-ing- that's not one I want to get mixed up!

I fully expect to be starting the clomid soon and in the meantime I've cut out caffeine and alcohol and am having acupuncture, just being as healthy as poss.

Great to hear it worked for you!

Hi All, I hope I have put this in the right place, I am sorry if not. I am on 50 mg of clomid and this is my 4th cycle (with a break after the first 3 cycles) I am currently on day 23 of a normal 26 day cycle and feeling very nervous and confused!! I have had lots of cramps and strange tummy feelings this month, feeling very tired and been grumpy, plus very hungry and disturbed sleep, with hot flushes. I am not sure whether to feel hopeful this month or whether my symptoms are just the clomid? As I had cramps with the other rounds of the drug, I am just so confused. This month I had follicle tracking which my consultant was very pleased with how things were, the follicles were a good size and the lining a good thickness, I am pretty certain I ovulated when he scheduled me to. I have had a blood test to see if I did ovulate, but too soon for results yet. The whole wait till when my AF is driving me mad, I keep reading stuff on the internet and going from being hopeful to thinking I am reading far too much into it all only to get disappointed. I do not know whether to just wait for my due day of AF or test now, so confused!! Help please! xx

When to test is an individual choice! Some of us like to test early, and others wait until they are late! Your symptoms sound good, but I could be the clomid, af or the best choice baby! That is what makes the tww so horrible! Gl, and let us know!

if you havent had a cycle in a long time and you know for sure that your are not pregnant, then they day you start clomid will be considered as your ccd1. This is what my FS told me. When I first started clomid i dint have a cycle.

Welcome chabby,
an ultrasound cannot confirm PCOS. it can only show ovarian cysts. But blood tests are required to confirm PCOS, which is a complex endocrine disorder and can cause anovulatory or irregular cycles.

what dosage of clomid are you on. I am on 150mg Clomid for 5 cycles and never had OHSS. It helped me ovulate and have regular cycles.

Since you havent had a cycle in a long time, you are probably not ovulating. Your hormones change before and after ovulation. So since you havent ovulated it means that your hormones are still like it is in the pre-ovulatory phase. So the day you start clomid will be cd1 for you. That is if you want to start Clomid now. 50mg is a safe dose to start with, so dont worry too much about it. you might want to start charting BBT if you are already doing it. It helps you to confirm if you have ovulated or not.

Well, I guess yesterday was just an evap. Still early, af not due till 19th.

Kel21 - you tested again? Was it stark white blank, or could you see anything? I'm feeling for you, that's mighty cruel if it was an evap.

 

[jme84]

Sorry hope you get a dark line soon.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

In her case maybe it was meant for days 3-7, for some others it's taken on days 2-6, and some others still days 5-8. I think it's fine to begin taking it and just count it as day 1. The earlier in your cycle that you take it it may produce more follicles but they are less mature. It should be fine for 1 month to kick start your system to produce and ovulate. Just my two cents for what it's worth.

ok so today was the last day of clomid. this is my 3rd cycle. What i am confused about is the fact i had a temp spike this morning when i woke up. But my doc said i shouldnt be ov'ing for another week. Could I have Ov'd on my own and so early?? My husband and I have been ttc for 10 months now. I am suppose to have my follicle check next tuesday. Im going to take an opk this afternoon. I am just confused w the charting of temp. Im only on 50mg of Clomid. i went from having super long cycles after having a cyst rupture on my ovaries. Ive had to take 3 cycles of Provera also... I am so confused.
