I'm just really hoping it regulates my cycles so I can track ovulation

They say it can take 6 months to make work. So for me going to nothing to ovulating and having a period just after starting and then 2 months later is a huge improvement and hopefully it's still gonna get better since I haven't hit that 6 month mark yet!

Does anyone pay attention to their cervical mucus?

Mine was really dry last month (another symptom of my cysts, I suppose) but for the past few days it's been really watery and I feel "wet" down there. isn't this type of cm only supposed to show up just before you ovulate? It should be "fertile" mucus, right? But I shouldn't ovulate for another 4 or 5 days. Or is this just a sign that I'm going to ovulate soon?

We are going to start tomorrow, but now I'm worried that we might miss our fertile window.

Cm is tricky to keep an eye on. Mine was dry, then wet, then sticky, watery then dry.
Text book cm is egg white consistency during ovulation but I only saw it once during my ttc time. Other than that it was just thin and watery.
Everyones different I imagine....

well at the moment I have nothing but only slight bleeding and spotting no OV so anything would be an improvement how did you manage the side effects

It didn't affect me too much but I'm prescribed 1500mg so the first week I just took 500 a night before bed then a week later go to 1000 and work up to the full dose

 

[LindseyGarth]

Ive got a really positive attitude towards this im really ready to through my self in to ttc its been 2 years now and I feel now im ready to jump back on the ttc wagon this is why im just holding out hope that met will work for me xx

It varies, the absolute maximum dose is 2550mg but I've yet to see anyone on that much, apparently it's weight based. Most people I know of are on 1500.

I started it mid July this year. Hadn't had a period since I stopped the pill jan 2012 (my son was 1st round clomid conceived may 2012 i hadnt had af for 5 months b4 falling pregnant since I'd stopped the pill, he was born jan 2013)
No post partum period for 6 months
31st July faint BFP!
6 August miscarried
Sept 25th had blood test and progesterone said I'd oved!
4th oct (today) pretty sure AF is about to start...
This will be my first normal AF in years.

I had a mmc in august 2011 and have never had a regular period since. im really sorry to hear about your miscarriage looks like it was the same month as mine only 2 years later. I would really like to try clomid but ive been told im to overweight so that sucks a little, congratulations on your little boy though

Hey ladies!

Emma and Ethan were born 9/4 via csection, a day earlier than planned. Everyone is doing well. Ethan has a heart murmur and a cleft lip. But they are doing so well.

 

[nlk]

congrats ghinspire! It's good to hear from you! Were they born naturally, or did they just move your c section forward?

Welcome to all the newbies :wave:

sorry I've been mia, been insanely busy! Got my scan next Friday to see whether everything has shut down enough to keep going with the ivf. Nervous doesn't even begin to cover it! Hope everyone's doing well...have a good weekend!

 

[BABTTC123]

Congrats Ghin!!!
Did they say if Ethan will grow out of his heart murmer at all? And as far as his cleft lip, easily fixed but not necessary I went to school with some one who had a pretty serious cleft lip but he still got girl friends! No one cared about it so he will do fine either way ^_^

nlk- are they pretty much just tricking your body into being pregnant or just being in the ovulation phase of your cycle?? What do you mean by shut down?

 

[nlk]

In order to go through ivf, the clinic has to have complete control over my body. So essentially just stopping my body from doing ANYTHING - ovulating, bleeding etc. It makes sure that I also don't produce anymore cysts, and that it gets rid of any that there are. I will have been doing it for five weeks by the time of my scan...been so ill with it! Really hoping that I don't need to do it for longer. They have me on the pill to do most of it, but it's a brand that I knew from previous experience that I don't get on well with! If all is good next Friday then I come off it, and start stimming from the withdrawal bleed (to produce LOADS of eggs).

 

[BABTTC123]

@_@ it sounds like a lot to do! Well I hope that the scan goes well and that you get the good news to start on the next phase!

Lindsey- I'm technically obese but clomid still worked for me!

Gh- congratulations! What did their weights end up being?

NLK- so exciting!!!! Fx

Afm, it's CD1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes for those who don't know me this is my first natural period (if you don't count the chemical) in years. Of course being pregnant would have been better but this is a good consolation prize.

 

[Katerz]

Aww congrats GH! Great to hear from you.

AFM not a lot to report on really! Lily is full on crawling now and pulling herself up on stuff...sofas, chairs, stair gates you name it she's climbing it!

Lots of hugs and to you all xxx

I was told they couldn't prescribe it me because the bigger you are the more risks associated with the drug

I think it depends what country you are in. I'm in Australia and its no real big deal here it's always the first round of treatment. As for the risks, they aren't with the actual drug they're with being overweight and pregnant full stop so they're trying to stamp it out any way possible, which is unfair because they only have that control over people with fertility problems.

 

[LindseyGarth]

Yeah ino it sucks well when I start the met I'm going to try my best to stick to a strict diet after 2 years I think I'm finally ready to give ttc 110% x
