The clomid thread- if you take clomid please join and ask questions and get answers

[Ladyb]

SCERENA & Prettynpink29- Thanks for your encouragement already!

I stopped my 3 months worth of 50mg Clomid at the end of March and have also had a hysterolsalpingogram (if that's how you spell it?!) and an internal scan which all showed up clear.
We have just been to see the consultant again this week and saw a different doctor yet again (v.frustrated that I haven't even seen my main consultant yet. Grrr). She was extremely confusing and said that from the internal I had done they had not commented on certain things, so she did not know if there was anything wrong.
Also commented that I may have PCOS, even though I have had a blood test to confirm I don’t ,at the beginning of the year (this seems to have been lost on the system)

Managed to get her to provide me with 3 months worth of 100mg Clomid, which I will start taking on day 2 of my next cycle and have to be scanned to see if I am ovulating. Fingers crossed this works, but I am in 2 minds, I don’t want to get excited, incase this doesn’t work, but then I don’t want to be too negative. It is all so confusing.

I would really appreciate anyone’s experience of these scans and being on 100mg.
Last time when I was on 50mg, I didn’t have many side effects, apart from feeling ridiculously hot at night.
Also didn’t use OPK as too expensive, what does anyone recommend is the best of the cheaper ranges?

Thanks for the support!

Scerena, yes I am glad I am finally starting but I don't know what is wrong with me I have been terribly snappy and quite rude to my husband and my mum and feel like shit for it, I think I am just really scared of it not working and feel alone, even though I know they are 100% in it with me, does that even make sense? I think its just mainly because it is all on me, there is nothing wrong with my husband and its just up to my body to work properly and I don't really have any control over that happening if you know what I mean? Sorry for the downer! Hope everyone is okay x

 

[Lily7]

Hi ladyb, sorry no advice for you as I'm only starting tomorrow but wanted to say good luck x

ladyb - im on my 5th cycle on clomid . 2 on 50mg - no O, 2 on 100mg ,no O. ive never had any side effects

im now on 150mg and have been told today that i did O ,proberly yesterday
as for the scans. ive had about 5 now and they get less and less annoying everytime,. no pain just discomfort to begin with. you get to see all the goings on on the screen its really cool. i went on monday and saw my follies, they were only 7mm about 3 of them.. and then i again today i saw my lining which is how it should be and a patch of fluid my doc said means ive ovulated.

i personally enjoy the scans, i feel not so left in the dark about not knowing whats going on. are u from the UK? because i got mine from wilkonsons for under £10 and superdrug were £15 but buy 1 get 1 free so i got alot.

[prettynpink29]

Hello Ladies!

I haven't read through any of the other posts yet, so I am not up to date! But I just wanted to say that I probably wont be on again today because I feel like crap I think clomid is causing me massive side effects all the sudden... I was so HOT all night that I barely slept.. Now this morning I have a felt dizzy, have upset stomach like I am gonna puke, my abdomen is bloated with sharp pains on my left side and my boobs/nipples hurt so bad!!!! I have called the doctor and I hope that they get my message before they close.. I don't know what else to do I am really scared!

 

[missangie]

Morning girls! Just a little update AF is here today!!! Woohoo CD1, clomid here I come! Hope you are all well x

YAY!!!!!!!

 

[missangie]

this was my first cycle using them so i was very excited. my boyf keeps thinking they r pregnancy tests and he's like '' why are you doing so many and so early??'' lol i tell him everytime they r opk's and it must just go in one ear and out the other,lol

xx

hahaha my hubby used to say the same thing. Or, he would see that I had done an OPK and then come down and say "so... are you prego" lol. MEN!

Good luck catching that egg holi, I hope July is your month!!

 

[LoloShells]

Hi loloshells and welcome, when are you testing?

x

I haven't made a firm decision yet. If I don't have any symptoms then I will hold out a lot longer than if I do. Playing it by ear for now.
