Hey:wave: I wanted to join you all!

This is my first go-around with clomid, Dr. started me off with 50 mg and I'm taking it CD 2-6 and I'm currently on CD 3.

So far the biggest things I've experienced is hot flashes and headaches.

I hope everyone gets their BFP soon!!!

Tallmom, I've gotten super anxious a couple times on Clomid, to the point of having minor panic attacks over nothing.

And mrsundy, I o'd on cd19 last cycle. I'm on cd 14 this time and still no positive OPK.

Mrs Undy I never O before day 16, even with Clomid so don't give up yet

 

[hopefulfor1st]

so, ive been googling like mad and cant find the answer.
does anyone know the success rates of clomid? i know it makes 80% of women ovulate but what im looking for is the breakdown- as in how many people needed 50mg, how many needed 100, and how many needed 150mg to do the trick.
just wondering what my chances are of the 50 doing the trick!

Kookycake- It was more uncomfortable, I had a laparoscopy, pvarian drilling and a hysteroscopy... I am so glad I had it done a had a mucus blockage in my tube they got rid of too my fs wouldnt let me on clomid so I went back to my old fs and I started it on this cycle again (which is my third since the op) but I will never be doing clomid again now if I dont get my bfp this cycle then its onto injectables

MrsUndy- I use to o very late, think it depends on the fs/doc, mine like to see o by cd20... But ot doesnt mAtter all that important is thT you o during your cycle, I am sure your doc will be happy with you ovulating late but to be sure I would give him a call?

Hazeleyes- welcome to the thread gl

Hopefulfor1st- sorry I am not sure Hope someone can help

Hopefulfor1st- I don't think that type of info has been studied or put out there. If you ovulate on clomid that generally puts you into the normal success rates, higher end if more then one egg is produced. It really isn't amazing odds or improvement. It's gives you the best possible opportunity to conceive each month though.

I'm on my second round of clomid, had scans Monday but having more this afternoon as my ovaries didn't look as if they were going to ovulate so going in today for another check etc, but good luck everyone with this round xxx

 

[scerena]

Laurabeth- gl I hope your ovaries are producing some eggs

So just got back from my CD 8 scan and guess what? 3 follicles on my right and 2 on my left biggest one is 17 So he gave me the Trigger so I can inject myself at 4:30 in the bloody morning then IUI on Friday at 2:30pm which will only be CD10. Freakin crazy what age and Clomid can do

So in a nutshell. Sex tonight. Trigger shot in the morning. No sex Thursday night. IUI Friday. No sex Saturday and IUI again on Sunday. Then good old fashion sex every other day on out ..phew!!

Praying this is my month. This Clomid is a nightmare, but it will all be worth it for that BFP!

Prayers and Blessing!

I am 12DPO today and tested yesterday afternoon. It was a BFN. I am hoping it was too early or something.

Af was due yesterday or today. I usually have 23-24 day cycles. I Oed 1 day later than normal with Clomid so, should I expect AF 1 day later, too?

I am thinking of testing again on Friday or Staurday, any advice?

 

[scerena]

Galvanbaby- No advice hun but gl hope you get your

Angie- gl hope this is your cycle

Angie that sounds great. GL

[HopinAndPrayn]

I went in for my scan today and as he looked at the right ovary the PCOS was obvious, lots of tiny follicles

BUT on my left ovary there was a follicle and it was 20mm (almost 21mm)! I almost jumped for joy!
My doc thinks I'll ov in a few days!

FX for this month! I'm also pretty excited to avoid scans for a few months.

Hiya guys, I'm cd 22 now and from what I can see there is no sign of ovuation, so i don't think it will happen for me this time. My Dr has said that I've got to check 6wks after last af and if no bfp on the test or no sign of af, I'm to take norethiserone to bring on af and start another clomid cycle. I'm not being monitored in any way other than 21 day bloods. I know it would help if I was scanned, but they won't do it.
Should I up the next dose of clomid myself??? I'm concerned that I won't ovulate again on the 50mg and really don't want to waste yet another clomid cycle on not ovulating. Any ideas, is it a good idea to change the dose without previous agreement with the Dr. If I ask I know she will tell me to do the 4 cycles on 50mg before changing the dose, but I don't see why I'm bothering with it if I'm not ovulating, isn't that kinda the whole point with clomid??!!?!?

If you Ovulate on 50 it's standard proceedure to up the dose next round. Did they not tell you that? How long have you been ttc? Is this a fertility specialist (RE) or just a reg doc? If its a reg doc I would ask to get referred to RE or calls fertility clinics yourself. The only thing monitoring will do is tell you approx when to o so you can BD at the right time, but if you don't o what good is that? The cd21 bloods will tell you if you o or not. So I'm guessing you didn't. Good luck.
