does bbt charting work with pcos??
i thought it didnt.

im not monitoring im just dtd every 2nd day(or occasionally more) from cd8-20, trying to pinpoint o with pcos is way too stressful for me

My cousins pcos specialist told her not to chart bbt with pcos can be more confusing. My fs thinks I have pcos thought I have not had the tests done for it yet. Said if you are o ing regularly you should still be able to bbt and get good results. Who know with this ttc stuff everyone and every doctor seems to have a different answer. I personally love charting I don't always get positive opks so I would be really lost with out it.

Hey ladies.. new to this thread. I am being prescribed Clomid for my upcoming cycle. I got to choose between Femara and Clomid. I've done more reading about Clomid so I picked it. Now I am scared about twins, I don't mind the idea of twins, and I could handle it I am sure, but the thought of one of them being sick or going into preterm labour scares me and makes me sad... should I request Femara instead? I'd love some insight...

Seriously! Why does it seem like I am INVISIBLE on this thread?? No one hardly ever responds to me or my questions for some reason.

I am sorry you are feeling that way. I have felt the same with se of my questions. I know unless you check on a regular basis something's get missed. I did go back to look for your last question. Maybe they moved you to 100 mg to make sure yours eggs are mature enough good luck. I Am starting 100 mg my next cycle.

Hi Im currently taking metformine provera and in a week clomid. i want to know if anyone has any. success with clomid.

 

[ckylesworld]

Thanks so much. I hate feeling alone. I have my DH but he dosent want to know or understand all of the woman stuff

I am mostly confused whether to take it 5-9 (like ob ordered) or 3-7. I have taken 2 previous cycles of clomid 50mg 4-8 and 5-9 and BFN. I am affraid if I dont get BFP this cycle who knows when it will be. May not see fertility specialist, lots of $$$

 

[mdexter11]

That's what my Dr started me was 100mg of clomid.

Sorry you feel that way lovely I know I miss posts at times. Fingers crossed for you this cycle!

So, I know I should not be getting excited, BUT, I've tried OPK's a few times, (I know they don't work so well with PCOS) and I have the darkest line I have ever gotten on one! It's made me so so hopeful that maybe the 100mg is doing something.

I needed to offload this before I exploded! DH doesn't understand haha xo

 

[jenniferlawe]

I will be taking it days 5 through 9 as well.

I do not know much on opk's as I do not use them

Hi,
I am on my 2nd cycle with clomid... but I am not being monitored either....and I wonder if any of you know why this may help me?
I have unexplained infertility - so I ovulate and have relatively regular cycle.
My doc said that I should try it before IVF....
Have you heard of this before???

 

[dbluett]

BFN!!
Going to be starting round two of clomid. This time they are starting me at 1oomg. Waiting a few days to see if comes on her own, or if I need to take provera.

Many doctors use it on girls who already ovulate to produce better quality eggs, they prescribe it CD 5-9, hope that helps a little.

Sorry about the BFN lovely, onto round 2, fingers crossed

 

[HiS_BABy_GiRl]

So sorry Lovely that you got your bfn! Was it a blood test or hpt? If you have not gotten AF and it was a hpt, mayb try another. Dont count yourself out just yet! GL hun!!!

Ny- HI! Welcome to BnB... I am in the same boat. I O regularly and am a healthy 20 yr old but was also prescribed Clomid 50mg w/o observation. I took it cd3-7 though not 5-9. I also have unexplained infertility. Did your doc do a SA on your DH first? Before prescribing the Clomid?

 

[Tallmom2b]

Has anyone had a lower backache when taking clomid this is day 3 of taking it.
Should I be worried?

i never had back pain while taking it...only the week before af was due it was hurting on and off along with af like cramps. maybe its something you did thats not related to the clomid? try taking advil and see if that helps relieve the pain.

 

[NMichMomma]

CD 14 and I just feel plain ole icky!! My mouth is DRY, My lower back aches, I was a tad lightheaded earlier, trying to drink more fluids. Metformin has killed my appetite, I have light AF type cramps and I don't trust the OPK I bought at all! Goodness..this is just a vent, but I feel pretty darn yucky. Not to mention my Dr. brought up "what are you going to do to lose MORE weight" eek!! After almost breaking down..again, normal thing at my Dr. office poor people..I said I HAVE NO IDEA, with a 4 yr old and high gas$$$ and a total need for competition when working out Im LOST! ..I have lost 25+lbs and I need to lose about 75 more to be anywhere close to my ideal weight

Im such a lost cause. Blah. I abandoned my Welbutrin (not a good drug to be on if trying for a baby) so Im just a sappy, drippy MESS lol Im crying at everything..pretty sure I can blame the Clomid for that. Thanks for listening. This is my first cycle...and Im 38 and darn it I need to shed weight and get pregnant...honestly...do those to go together at all?? I had horrible pelvic pain with my DD and that made working out, walking even swimming almost impossible.. Pretty sure I like to torture myself at this point. Thanks for listening to me blabber.
