TTC w/50mg Clomid

[prayingm2b]

Hi All! I'm new this forum but thought i would join. Currently TTC our first. We've been trying for 6 months now. I'm very irregular. My cycle ranges anywhere from 37-60 days and at one point, 7months. Because of irregular my cycle was I decided to just go to a fertility doctor to confirm if everything was ok, rather than waiting. I'm a very impatient person who tends to stress out a lot when i dont know have the answer. So i made an appointment and got an ultrasound done so the doctor could confirm if everything looked good. My visit consisted ultra sound , getting a thyroid test and egg count. In adition to that he checked my breast due to me lactating (never been pregant and have had that for about 5 years now). Well in my ultra sound he confirmed that i wasn't ovulating so he prescribed 50mg clomid from CD3-7. Went back on Feb 12th (CD 16) and got another ultrasound to check how i responded to Clomid. I first just want to share the my thyroid was normal and my egg count was great. However, the doctor stated that the lactating test was abnornal. So he prescribed medication that will helo dry out the "milk if we can calk it that). He said that he believe this was affecting my chances of getting pregnant. Off to my ultra sound...To my surprise i was getting ready to ovulate there it was on the screen my big egg ❤. I responded very well to Clomid. Later than night i took an OPK test and my test line was just a tad darker than the control line . I think i may have ovulated Saturday evening. Had mild cramping and soon after i took another OPK and the test line was faint. I BD friday night, saturday, sunday and monday. I heard many women say to only bd every other day but my fertility doctor stated that it didn't matter. So i decided to do a little research and from women who have been able to pregnant recommen to BD everyday so that your chancer are higher to conceive. Well...Here i am 4 days PTO and i have sore breast along with mild cramping. Praying we may get lucky and have a little angel on the way. I know its too early to tell, but i am so impatient right now and I'm being very observant of everything my body is doing. Hope you all can share any similar experiences. And sorry if im jumping around in my story

Hello and welcome! I am starting clomid next month and it is hopeful to hear that you ovulated on 50mg. Did you experience any side effects? Its ok to have sex every day when ttc but try to wait about 24 hour in between sessions to give the sperm time to reload. Please keep us posted on your clomid results.

Hi! Thank you 😃
I experienced headaches for about 3 days and went away after. Also hot flashes and mild cramping. Nothing too bad.


I wish you good luck and lots of baby dust.
So far on your journey have you changed yout way of eating?

I am leaving for vacation today, but hen I get back I am going to start adopting the PCOS diet. I am a huge sugar addict which many women with PCOS are. It am going to start by cutting out sugar and refined carbs while increasing my protein intake. The diet calls for lots of vegetables but I eats lots of veggies as part of my normal diet. I will then work on cutting out dairy which I think will be really hard, I love cheese. I already exercise regularly so that is good. I am also going to do acupuncture with Clomid. I already did a round of acupuncture and it did not help my cycles regulate, I hope it will work well with the clomid. I also starting fertility massage next month as well so that should be interesting.

Did you find it better to take the Clomid at night?

I hope the diet change helps. I have a poor diet, so maybe I should consider changing that. Let me know if you notice any changes.

I did acupuncture for a a few months and did not notice any changes. I'll probably start the message as well. Hooefulky that helps 😥.

I actually would take it at noon. The first day i took Clomid at night I could not sleep. Not sure if that was because of the Clomid, but did not want to risk being up at night since i'm up for work early.

I also wanted to update you. I got a BFN yesterday 12 DPO. I was very dissapointed. I'm not sure what is going on with my body but I have had lots of cramping since I ovulated along with with sore breasts. I thibk my body is mimicking the pregnancy symptoms since i want to be pregnant so bad. I'm not sure if i will do another round of Clomid next month. Might just miss out for the month of March and start April. I've also considered on buying Fertile Tea. I have read lots of good reviews of women getting regular periods after drinking the tea.

:wave:

Ok, on 50mg (nausea ) minor cramps before period, lil clots (tmi srry)
100mg headaches God the headaches sucked ! more cramps, more lots.
150mg X2 the heachaches, cramps and blood.

While I was on Clomid i didn't take any other supplements, meds etc.. per doctors orders. Now i'm just relaxing, I do put in a soft cup after BD around O time.

I can only imagine what you are going through. I've had cramping since i O (16DPO) not too bad, but not loving the fact that I've literally felt as i have been PMSng this entire time. I also got chunky discharge on 6DPO (sorry TMI) but i thought it was so odd. Never experienced that. The DH and i will do 1 more round of Clomid and will take a break if not pregnant.

Lots of positive vibes your way and baby dust. Keep us posted on your journey
