I've been taking Clomid 50mg for the past year and half. I have had 3 miscarriages with taking it. I have ovulated every month. I don't have an side effects besides not bringing home baby! It has gotten to the point of where I have seeked for a fertitly specialist. Im sure I don't have to describe the feeling month after month of not conceiving. Don't give up ladies!!!!! I conceived for the first time after 3 months of taking it. then other other 2 miscarriages were shortly after that. I haven't had another miscarriage since, but still hoping and determined that one day I will bring home baby! It has taken a toll on my husband and I, but we both are determine and aren't going to give up!!!

Hi everyone! It's been a little while since I've been on here. Back to school and all that...new teaching job.
I'm 7dpo today. I've been proud of myself for not getting too crazy in the tww. I realized after last month's tww that all the symptoms in the world don't mean anything! So significantly less "symptoms" this month, so maybe that's good.
Sorry for your BFN 4boys1girl
Seems like so many of us are around the same place in our cycle!
I'm going to wait until Sunday 10dpo to test the first time.
Good luck all!

Hi ladies. I posted a question in the main thread and then wanted to ask you gals. If you failed to ovulate on clomid, what was your period like? I do not ovulate or have periods on my own, and this was my first cycle using clomid. I'm on CD31, and my day 21 bloods did not show ovulation. I stopped temping because I was upset and didn't want to think about it. However, I have now started spotting. I'm not sure if it's af coming, but I've had no symptoms that she's on her way. I'm trying not to get my hopes up that it's implantation bleeding. So, what were your periods like if you didn't ovulate on clomid? Thanks!

Hi, my doc told me if you have to ovulate to have a period so if no ovulation=no period.

I didn't ovulate on my first round of clomid so i had to take provera to induce a period, I am now on my second round.

If you think the spotting could lead into af then it is possible you have ovulated, just later than you thought you should have therefore 21 day bloods would be inacurate.

Hope that makes sense! lol good luck either way

Ok ladies i probably did something really bad! ha ha. well my OBGYN for some reason wanted me to keep trying with 50 mg after already 3 times failing to ovulate! so instead of trying to convince him to up it i just took matters into my own hands and lol filled it twice at the pharmacy! lol so now i can take 100 mg. i guess you can call me a clomid addict! any ladies go behind the doctors back? lol

 

[Lily7]

I am only on my second round but I would absolutely do the same in your shoes! good luck!! x

 

[lindsayms05]

Thanks Lily. I wasn't expecting to get af at all without inducing it, so I was shocked to be spotting. If I didn't ovulate, I thought maybe I could have some spotting or even a period just because the clomid made my hormones do some things they normally wouldn't have. It doesn't feel like af at all. I know it's a long shot but I'm really hoping it could be implantation bleeding. Anybody know how many days after implantation would be safe to test? I hate to test already and be disheartened by a negative!

 

[Lily7]

well good luck then lindsay, I hope it is IB for you, fingers crossed

when i had periods before clomid they always came on the same day bang on and always started heavy . but since taking clomid every month that ive had a period ( and unsucessfull ovulation as far as im aware ) ive spotted a couple of days before and then it starts as a light period only lasting 3-4 days . xx

 

[scerena]

Shanda3124- yep me lol! I'm meant to wait until after Xmas to carry on taking clomid after my lap but sod it I'm taking my left over clomid for the next two cycles once af gets here gl Hun!

Lindsayms05- good luck Hun! I hope you get a bfp!

Summerlily- my periods are never really that heavy on clomid either sometimes I only fill a 1/2 pads (sorry if tmi) I have quite light periods now

Lily7- hey Hun how's things with you? Feels like I haven't spoke to you in ages! Xx

Hello girls I'm after some love as very down in the dumps today. I met with NHS fs on monday (cd17) and had bloods and a scan. Scan showed only one big-ish follicle, but even that was only 9mm. So I was sent away and told to come back today cd21, and if it was big enough they were going to give me a trigger shot....I went and nothing :'( I know it shouldn't be a shock but I was willing that follicle to grow with all my heart.

That's us at the 1 year ttc mark, and I'm still not even ovulating. I know people try for a lot longer but I just don't feel strong enough today. It's literally breaking my heart.

Sorry to moan girls....I've been trying so hard recently to stay positive but I know you all understand better than anyone. xxx

 

[Lily7]

justwantababy - BIG HUGS!!!! Your welcome to come on here and blow off steam any time, i am sorry about your follicle, I was the same last cycle and didn't ovulate xx

Hi Scerena, I am fine thankyou, cd5 today, no side effects from the clomid, I am scared because I didn't have any side effects last time and it didn't work so am thinking the same thing but trying to stay positive. what cd are you now? xx

 

[Justwantababy]

Thanks Lily, you are lovely. Have calmed down a bit now...it's so tough emotionally. You can't help but hope then bam it all goes out the window. Still, just got to dry your eyes and give yourself a shake-onwards and upwards to next cycle though I guess

CD5-9 yay for you! Is your scan on cd13 again?
xx

 

[Justwantababy]

Ooops...double post

 

[Lily7]

Hi just wantababy - awk thankyou, well we are all here for the same reason and to help each other through, I do know how you feel. I am taking 100mg this time days 2-6, I am on cd5 now and don't feel any different! I have my scan next Wednesday cd10, if he tells me this time them clomid has not worked again I will be in exactly the same frame of mind as you and this conversation will be happening only the other way round!

I never thought ttc would be this hard on us all xx

Tryin this one more time please!!: I did my first round of clomid 50mg cd3-7. I'm on metformin too for pcos I dont get my temps though because it dropped one day to normal pre o temps and then jumped to .8 higher to post o temps. now I haven't been sleeping well which is a post o thing too. I'm worried we missed our shot...what are your thought?

 

[caz & bob]

girls well my opk is getting there think its a early o hers a pic sorry its a bit blurry cam is rubbish x x x

 

[Justwantababy]

Fingers crossed for you honey! Hope you get good news next Wed.

I know it sounds a bit mental but I went Google daft last night and read that a hot water bottle on your tum and/or elevating your legs high for 20mins a day helps follicles to grow by increasing blood supply to the ovaries. Maybe worth a try? I know I sound like a crazy ttc'er....but let's face it I probably am!

Hey hon don't really know what that could be....it would be very early for ov. I see from your chart you bd'd on cd7 pm....if your chart is showing ov you could have caught with that. Do you always temp at regular times?

I guess just keep on charting to see if your temp stays up, and bd'ing....and hoping for the best

 

[prettynpink29]

Wantabby- YAY!!! We are both 4dpo today!! I am going to test sept 1st and 10dpo What about you??

Happycloud- Hello!! I am glad you are back!!! Your chart looks good!

Lily7- How are you? You are lucky to not feel any symptoms!!! And I don’t think that it means it is not working, all of our bodies are different!! Think positive!!

SummerLily- When did you start your 3rd round of clomid? Have you Od yet?

Justwantababy- so sorry
