Hello everyone! Eeeks wheres the 1st thread? Havent been on for so long and been a bit bz with a guest at home for a wk now..
Dungungirl how r u? what happened at the consultant? N hows everyone else? I have got an appointment on the 20th August..seems like ages away and also going for a 2mth vacation end of august so the clomid might get delayed till october sighs.. hope everyone is ok..
Nice to see you back! Unfortunately the old thread got too big!!! we had over 1000 messages!
So glad you found us!
I am good thanks. I have got my first appointment booked at the PCOS clinic for the 18th Sept, so that is good.
I was planning to start the clomid you gave me this month but I am waiting to do another test tomorrow as this morning I did a TESCO pregnancy test and it came up positive.
I am thinking that it may be faulty , so just to be sure I am going to do a clearblue digital tomorrow morning.
Will keep everyone posted!
If turns out to be false negative then I may do clomid this month....I am still trying to decide whether I should jsut do it or whether I should hold back till after my appointment at the PCOS clinic and I am sure they will want to run some tests and i don't want to mess things up with the results.
Oh man! I was just going to do a quick read through cos' i had to go do something after this and you made me post Dungungirl If you are really pregnant (i really hope you do) then you really deserve to be do test another one to confirm btw isnt there any earlier dates for the appt? its bloody long to wait till sept! well good luck with everything you do..i am here to support you
It is official...Clearblue digital gave me a BFP this morning! And so did Boots on brand stick! (Couldn't help myself...had to be double sure!)
HOORAY!!!!
Now....the worrying begins.....I had my MC at 6.5 weeks the last time....so.....I am going to be biting my nails as time ticks.....
I don't feel like telling mg GP yet as if I MC I will have to go through the cancelling of Midwife appointments all over again....
However, as I have had one MC I am allowed an early scan ( 6-7 weeks ) to be sure all is well. And I think only my GP can book that...ohhhh I don;t know...
Im so happy for you. I am fairly new and posted a couple of times on the last thread. I read all the problems and worries you have had and its brilliant that you now have a positive show. Im sure all will be fine concerning the mc as alot of women ( about 40% apparently ) lose the first pregnancy. Many of them very early so some dont even know. I was so shocked when I read that but made me more positive as I had a mc 10 years ago at 9 wks and have not become pregnant again. Im so happy for you
Yeah...I know MC happens loads...I think I am just more paranoid as I have PCOS and it makes me 50% more likely to MC it seems whereas the 'normal' population have a rate of 15%.
Dungungirl! Huggs am soo happy for you.. i think that clomid made u feel that you needed it to make u pregnant and now u r pregnant without it! do take care of yourself cos' u r now PREGNANT just one qn: how does the pregnancy affect PCOS women? sorry if its a dumb qn [blush ] clairebear, sorry to hear that..have you got any treatment since the mc?
I to have read all your woes on the last thread and have been rooting for you all along. I even supported your decision to take 'you know what' but I'm glad you don't need to now. Start on the pregnancy vits straightaway. I hope the little bean sticks.

Thanks! Unfortunately, women with PCOS tend to have a higher risk of miscarriage than women without PCOS. Some studies have suggested that as many as 50% of women with PCOS experience a miscarriage compared to the average rate of 15% among the general population. While the exact reason for the increased miscarriage risk is unknown, experts do have a few theories.
Insulin resistance is thought to be a contributing factor, as women with PCOS and insulin resistance seem to be at a greater risk of miscarriage than women with PCOS but no insulin resistance issues. However, it is also thought that the increased LH (lutenizing hormone) levels present in some women or the high androgen levels in women with PCOS could also be a factor.
Is this what you wanted to know nandos?
As for how a succesful pregnancy affects PCOS women, some women claim that after a successful pregnancy their PCOS symptoms hugely improve, some claim they dissapear, and others claim they just go back to how they were before pregnancy!! But basically while you are pregnant the symptoms go away and you are actually more 'normal' for a while! Madness!

There you are! Thank you so much. I have spoken to the consultant at the PCOS clinic and as I am not officially her patient yet ( waiting for 1st appointment in september) she can't refer me to the Endocrine disorders in pregnancy clinic for monitoring but has told me to get my GP to refer immediately for monitoring!
So fingers crossed all will be well this time, I will be looked after by the department I should be in and I will hopefully not have to be back in the position of thinking of taking 'you know what!'.
*Thank you everyone for the congrats!* I am excited now but still nervous! Roll one week 12 !
Nando - Well 10 yrs ago was not planned and to be honest I was only 21 so didnt think I was in the right place ( at the time the mc was a blessing as couldnt make the decision). How differently I feel now though as im now married and oh so ready for a family and im having trouble ttc. Been ttc for 1.5 yrs and was given clomid for low ovulation and am on 2nd cycle with no joy yet. DH has slightly low count too so trying all the usual things. Im sure our time will come but really hard being positive every month. Gonna get a holiday booked as relaxing seems the best medicine
Dungungirl, thx for the info.. i just find it unfair for women with PCOS cos' its difficult enough for them to fall pregnant, let alone suffer the mc.. i hope beany sticks well for you
clairebear, i understand what u mean. i suffered a 1st mc like 3 yrs back when i was 23 and married but thought i wasnt ready till i suffered a 2nd one this May. had clomid early this yr and it worked first time, hope it works for you soon. I am delaying taking clomid again till oct(long vacation) cos' i feel a need to take a break from it and also somehow i feel more fertile than i was before mc..strange isnt it cam75, fingers crossed for you too..
hope everyone of us will get our bundle of joy soon..
hey cam, im fine thank you im not taking any clomid at the moment..maybe taking it on october onwards if im not pregnant by that time. what cycle r u at on clomid? any side effects? i felt something different on my 1st cycle of clomid e.g bloating n pinching feeling during ovulation so if u have any of these symptoms during clomid, it might be good news
i have 3 more goes with it. I have hot flushes and some pain but not alot really. I think i am due to test next week sometime?? I am or shall i say have ov so it is working, just waiting for the special swimmer to do it's thing
I have been reading up about Selenium ( a trace mineral) and there stuff all over the place saying that men should take it because it improves sperm quality. Try getting your DH on 100 ( don;t know what the measurement type is) of Selenium a day.
I am taking this on recommendation from my GP who said it has been proven in some tests to reduce miscarriage.
I am sure you will get there!
Also, another tip for everyone...we were busy 'at it' EVERYDAY from day 12 until day 21. This is the first time we have tried doing it everyday. It seems to have paid off. If you can face it, try it everyday ( if you DH has normal sperm count only though!)
nandos
Yeah, having PCOS sucks big time. It gets you at the TTC stage and just as you think you've done it, it can get you to MC. It is a real buggger!
Dungungirl - Im off shopping for selenium tonight by the looks of it thanks for the info. I have read a few sites and he is on Zinc and multivits already so Ill be hearing him rattling soon lol.
Sarashy - I am on clomid as I have slightly low ovulation but no pcos. I think im quite lucky getting it prescribed as some ladies really had to fight with gps to get it. Fingers crossed it gives us the boost we need hunny. Hopefully you wont have many side effects as they really vary for people. The 1st month was worse than the 2nd so stick it out. I got bad bloating ( my trs would not do up and so painful ) sore boobs and bad hot flushes. This month has been better so hopefully you will be fine too.
thanks clairebear i get the bloating, sore boobs ect anyway so hopeully wont make it worse lol. Im quite lucky as i work for my consultant so i think was easier to ge it prescribed. Everything crossed it helps us both. let me know. x
Good stuff sarashy. I hope it works for us too. Gonna book a holiday for sep around the **right time ** so hopefully the relaxation will work as has not worked this month..
we tried the whole going on holiday thing in feb and unfortunatly didnt work but i think it wasnt the **right time**. just got back from camping so fingers crossed it was the **right time** it sure works out about right for my dates. If not first round hopefully next month. x
damm!!! when are you suppose to start taking clomid in your cycle??? i will be on day 6 when i see my consultant and think that it may just be to late for an aug cycle. x
I have been prescribed 50mg day 2-6. I think there is a few girls who have been told different days tbh I think its down to the gp. I should be on the box though
Sarashy - Just another suggestion as it really helped me with any possible side effects, take the tabs before you go to bed as I took them in the morning 1st month and was definately better 2nd month when took in the evening
dungungirl i am soooooo happy for you dont stress yourself and just enjoy the next 9 months it just shows you that it can be done i am so proud of you for all the hard work you put in and now you got your reward congratulations to you and your partner
Did anyone see the news this morning about Clomid?? It said that they reacon that clomid and iui did not increase your chances of getting pregnant and the NHS are reviewing it They tested 1000 couples who were ttc for 2 yrs and they reacon that the following results were proven 24% increase following iui 14% increase with clomid 17% increase with no intervantion just carried on trying.
Oh well im on the bloody things now so hope they work
lauralou, honey where have you been? i am fine sweetie i am off today so i have to run and go find a dress my sister 30th 2moro so i need something sexy to complement my hour glass figure??? (well almost) lol I am a bit confused at the mo, my boobs have been hurting for some time now and i am not sure what to expect??? i have been feeling nauseous in the eveing time and have nearly thrown up??? Not sure if af is coming or wheather it is baby???????? I am going to test i think next week(shock) This body is doing it's own thing?? How are you?
clairebear - i saw that report. doesnt make it sound good does it. but there is a lot of sucess stories on this site. maybe it helps because it makes us relax a bit, knowing that something is being done.
im going to ask my consultant about it when i go but i dont think it is going to put me off taking them.
Just wanted to say when you read the study about clomid, iui etc remember the results are for those with 'unexplained fertility'. I had clomid (for luteal ohase defect and ineffective ovulation) and am now 38 weeks pregnant. It took 6 months and is deffo not a miracle drug but if you have ov problems it can help so don't be dis-heartened by the report.
This is my first time to the site. I have been ttc for 18 months. I have a period every month but spot in between. I had a laparoscopy in April and they found mild endometriosis. I also hav had blood tests to detect ovulation and am reaching 20 and 28, normal level is 30 i think?? I am now on my first month of clomid and am getting stitches in the lower part of my tummy at both sides, is this normal??
Am excited because its my first month but dont want to get my hopes up either!!!!
hope you feel better honey, gosh it's madness isn't it. I haven't been checked up since when i started the clomid... i am left to my own devices. I still call my fertilty nurse so that is it. I haven't got a clue what is going on and i take all these pains and sick feeling with a smile and pray that my bundle of joy is coming....
oopsacocnut, how long where you ttc? do you have pcos? knowing that you got pg with the help of clomid round 6 is good to know. I have finished cycle 3 just waiting to test???
we had been ttc 5 years when it all eventually happened - had some PCOS signs but not actually the cycsts also only had a 3 day LP and when ov did occur body very confused and AF arrived before hormones could show OV. All together very complicated situation but Clomid 100mg defo kicked things off 4 months at 100mg and Ov'd each month by took DH's swimmers time to figure out what to do when they found the egg!!!! Anymore questions just ask.
Started my second round of clomid today,i have 2x50mg a day cycle days 2-6. It obviously didn't work last month!so am keeping everything crossed it works this time round. Had every test going and doc thinks i've got a problem ovulating as have very irregular cycles.
Me and dh have been trying for our first for about 15 months now. Last month whilst clomid didn't work my cycle length was only 32 days,which for me is v v good so keeping positive it's doing something!
I just can't stand the waiting every month will need to remortgage the house,how many pg tests i buy and waste!!am going to be strong and will not test untill cd33if af is no show!so 32 days to go!
i read the article today in the daily mail about clomid and iui. The article is a joke n dosent make snese. it says they had three groups, one doing nothing, but the obvious one on clomid and one iui group it then says after *6 months* there where 101 live births. Now call me silly here but i thought you where pg for NINE months. so to me that absolutly says research is B***s. (Maybe not allowing for printing errors but you think they'd get it right in a big national paper.)
quick note for big tree- when i bought some preseed i got 25 free pg tests with it. go on access diagnostics have them cheaper than chemists if you doing them that often. x
Hi I am still hovering around,waiting for AF to arrive so i can start my 5th cycle, this will be my last cycle on Clomid, I am doing 150mg for this last cycle, and feeling a but apprehensive, apparently it is rare for 150mg to be prescribed, has anyone else been on 150mg with any joy????
Thanks for the kind words....just holding my breath now.
However this time I am making sure I am getting the attention I should have with a PCOS pregnancy!
I am booked in with an early appointment with the midwife to get an early scan booked in, and my GP has referred me to the Endocrine disorders in pregnancy clinic at the hospital where they monitor pregnant ladies with any endo disorders like PCOS!
So, hopefully, I will all set up this time round.
There are good signs though compared to the feb pregnancy and that is that I have caught a KILLER COLD ( immune system goes down when baby is getting settled in ) - so good sign! AND i have gone off tea totally, again this happened when i was carrying my DS. But it didn't happen in feb....so makes me think feb was a doomed one from the start!
I am slowly letting myself feel positive and enthusiastic about this one...am hoping!
Dungungirl i did a test last nite and it was negative Not sure if i told you, but with 3 cycles to go i am losing hope!!!! I called the nurse and asked her to doubled the dose of clomid so instead of 50mg i will take 100!! My nurse said she will have to scan me and keep a close eye on me as the risk is twins and stuff. I knew aunt flo is on her way because i went out saturday nite and i was swaeting so bad it looked like i had a shower!!! my hair was wet and even though i went outside in the cool but it never helped....
We will see what happens now.. I rememnber when i had the ivf they increase my drugs and i did have 4 good eggs 3 got fertlized so i know it will be good... I have to remain faithfully now i really do.
Hi, I am new to this site, but would really appreciate your advise......... I have been ttc for 1.5 years now and according to tests I have had my progesterone level is low and I am not ovulating at all or infrequently. A scan showed my ovaries are OK with follicles on - so something is happening I guess !?!? I have been prescribed low dose of clomid, and have only taken 1 cycle so far. When is the best time to 'try' ?? When are you supposed to ovulate after you have finished 5 days of clomid tablets ? Thank you for any help you offer xx
hi hopeitwillhappen, it depends on your cycle what times you ovulate, the nurse told me to try every other day and my days are between day 10-16 from what i can recall. From the the nurse told me every other day as it give the swimmers time replenish!!!
Hi Cam75, thanks for replying :-) My cycles in past have varied between 38 and 37 days, so what days of my cycle does this mean I might ovulate on ? Apparantly I haven't been ovulating, but now I am on Clomid, I hope I will, so what days do you think I should try on ?? Hopefully on Clomid my cycles will become less irregular which may make it easier (hmm)
i am not sure when you ovualate? there is web site that will work it out for you. Clomid will make you ovulate chick. Have you any side effects? I get hot flushes and cramping.
Hi I wrote my cycle days completely wrong ! I meant to say I varie between 28 and 37 days ! I always thought you ovluated something like 14 days before your next cycle was due to start......so I guess as my cycles vary so much this could really affect when I ovulate ! I have only taken 1 cycle of Clomid so far, and didnt have any side effects, so fingers crossed ! I really hope it works..........I really feel like it won't happen for us sometimes :-( I know I need to stay positive and try my best, but its hard sometimes ! x
hi, i took my first course of clomiid last month as me and my partner were having trouble getting pg! i am now 2 days late for my period and pregnancy test said negative, im not usually late for my periods, does anyone out there know if this is normal??? can clomid stop your period or give you a false negative result?? would be really gratefull to find out if anyone has any answers, thanks.
I have read all the pregnancy tests and they all say that clomid should not affect the test result.
However, I have also read that clomid can slightly change your cycle - the ladies here should be able to advise if this is true!
If after a week still nothing I would test again! Sometimes 2 days is not late enough to detect a HCG surge...you never know!!!! Good luck!
hopeitwillhappen
Your situation sounds very similar to mine. I had regular periods - every 30-35 days but tests did seem to indicate that I was ovulating irregularly. I was diagnosed with PCOS - cycsts covering both ovaries - plus I had the other symptoms that make it the syndrome and not just polycycstic ovaries.
I think on a longest cycle of 37 days, that would make the last likely date of ovulation day 23 - BUT...saying that , that is if your luteal phase is a definite 14 days! I know that when I was charting temperatures, I noticed that I had a slightly short luteal phase! I was supposedly ovulating around day 21 but I would get my period by day 31! So that was only a 10 day luteal phase!
If I were you, I would start getting jiggy with DH from days 12-25. Hard work but worth it if you fall PG!
I was on course to get metformin/take clomid but after losing 2.5 stone and eating a low Gi diet, I managed to fall PG naturally. It took me 14 months the first time, unfortunately miscarried at 6.5 weeks. BUT I am pg again! JUST! I am almost 6 weeks this time, so fingers and toes crossed!
You will get there - it will happen! There are so many success stories on here.
hi cam am here hunny you missed me lol i havent been on for a while just been trying to relax ....
i feel really sick this last 2/3 days and so tired and my boobs are bloody killing me lol
went for my blood tests today so find out if i ov on friday so will let you no
i am starting to feel the same as you like it is never going to happen they said if i dont ov this month they are not giving me any more which i am not happy about so i hope i have ovulated
looks like it game over! i raelly thought i could be pregnant, my boobs are so sore, more so than usual before period, can't stop going to pee, and ive been feeling really sick in mornings and evenings, but got up this morning and i got some bleeding on tisue everytime i pee. this last 3 years have been so long ttc! i just feel so hopeless now, and he really wants a child of his own, i don't know how much longer i can handle all this dissappointment. thanks for the advice dungungirl.
Hi girls.... im new to all this. Have just finished my forst lot os clomid tablets and just wantin to know how every coped with it. I ve had headaches but thats it.... worried they might not have worked but i have a long 6 weeks ahead to wait for my next due period. I was diagnoised with multiple cysts on both my ovaries but the doc seems to think i should get pregnant on these tablets? Some advice would be great xxx
do i start taking the clomid again 2moz, i was told by specialist to take clomid on day 2 for 5 days. i havent been monitered whilst on it, i thought i was supposed to have scan and bloodtest?! i don't know what to do and can't get in touch with the specialist that prescribed them to me.(hmm)

numpty1972 i have jsut finished my course and all my doc said was to ring on the first day of my next period to have a scan..... nothin about blood tests...... havent really been given much advice when i think about it
Its such a shame that alot of us dont get monitored and are left to get on with it. Im taking 3rd round of 50mg clomid on day 2-5 and as my cycles are pretty regular about 27-29 days im going for it every other day from day 12-20. Its hard to find time though as they say mornings are best but not very romantic when you have to leave early for work anyway lol. oh well we will keep positive ( which is very hard ) and good luck to all
lauarlou i have missed you. i understnad sometimes you do need time away. I have just got into work, just went to see the nurse i spoke to the nurse the other day in disppear as i only have 3 cycles left and there is nothing happening... The nurse has up my dose to 100mg so i start 2moro as af arrived with a bang this morning. I am losing the weight with the help of metformin so it is good news. She wants to scan me next friday and keep a close eye on me??? she says i have to becarful as there is a risk of twins??? and i am to have sex when see tells me too?? I need prayer i really do i am trying to remain faithfully but it is getting hard. I suppose now i am ovu it is all good. I am going to have fun with my honey i don't want him to feel drained :O If i can fertilzed 3 eggs with ivf why can't i do it now!!! i really don't want to have to do that again it is so stressful. I hope all is well with you. xxxx
Just got back from holiday to see Dungungirl had a BFP...congratulations DGG - I often see your threads on here, so it's good to see you have had a positive outcome!
I am on CD12 of my 5th Clomid cycle, with only 1 cycle left. So far I have just done 50mg/day, but I think I will up it to 100mg next month, as my GP overprescribed, so I have about 25 tabs left. Fingers crossed it will work out, never thought it would be like this trying to get pregnant!
thank you, i have found away of blocking it out and it does help some times.. I am trying to be busy and not think about what is happening down there!!! If i do get blessed with twins you can have one!!!!!
thanks for your kind words, now that the clomid has changed my cycle to midweek it gonna be really difficult ttc as my partner works nights and we only really spend quality time together at weekends!!. i work days this is gonna be fun!! is it really true that mornings are better?? hopefully mornings are just better for the woman cos my morrnings are like his evenings! just wish i knew why it wasn't happening, oh well guess i should just keep trying, hopefully the clomid will work this month.
i am praying we both get pg together that would be great i wish you and your partner all the luck in world and dont worry it will happen just look at dungungirl she had given up hope and now look
let's have a cup of tea!!!! My partner is fine he is cool i am the one who worries alot!!! i even said to him that if it does not work maybe he should find someone who can give him another child!!!
He is good now i have to be strong and faithfully. Just going to get a herb tea.. How are you and hubby doing?
well here goes, starting second course today, hopefully i will have some good news for my bday nxt month!! couldn't believe my period is stopping already only started yesturday! does anyone know if it usual to still have sore boobs and needing to pee alot even after your cylcle when on the clomid??? well good luck to all of you ttc, and congrats to all those who have been succesfull.
hi numpty1972, all the best to you too. I have now began cycle 4, and i am on 100 instead of 50. I have notice that af goes within a couple of days for me, the 1st time i took it it went the next day??? all the pain for one day???? wish you well and i hope we all get good news soon....
thanks cam75, wish you well too, not very clued up on all the little codes and abbreviations on here, never really chatted on line like this before, so without sounding too stupid, would it be poss to have a crash course on this please if it not too much to ask for?? god i must sound like a complete idiot!!!!! oh well got to learn some how. take care. x
i'm just starting to get the hang of this site and i love it!! Im on my first round of clomid and now on the dreaded 2ww!! Fingers crossed no AF arrives and I get a BFP but dont feel pregnant?!
numpty if you go to the Useful Stuff section at the top there is a link called acronym list click on there and it tells you what all the abbreviations mean!!
hi ladies, hope everyone is good. I have one more day of the clomid 100mg!!! i have the worst hot flushes ever!!!!! I was wondering i don't think i have been having alot of sex?? strange but true, i was thinking is there a certain postion? i have heard that missionary is suppose to be good or doggy style is suppose to be good as you are at an angle? as it helps the swimmers. I have even tried to lie down with my legs in the air????? The nurse told me see wants to see me friday as she has upped the dosage so she wants to make sure everything is ok. She says that i should only have it when she says as the risk of twins are a possablity????? I am getting anxious now as there is only 2 more cycles left??? i hope it works and i am going to put in over time this week:O
Why is it that my man is so calm about this??? I need to get preggers soon.........................................
hi cam, i know what you mean, my fiance just seems so calm about it yet he say's it what he really wants! it was to begin with his idea!!! he has high count but slightly low motility, been giving him selenium, think i upset him yesturday when he arranged to go out for a drink with his mate tho cos i asked hi not to drink as it would affect our chances, god i never thought getting pg would be this hard!!!!! hope it happens soon im not getting ay younger and before long it will be too late for me. x
I am ok thanks. Started getting mild nausea - lovely. So fingers crossed it is a good sign that things are as they should be. I am 6 and a half weeks now. Can't wait till I hit 7 weeks on Saturday because then I will have passed the point I miscarried in March.
Keep faith cam75! So many ladies on here claimed that the first 3 months the body is still adjusting to clomid anyway. I will keep praying for you!
Also, I am convinced that daily sex with DH from days 12-25 was the winning formula for me! It was the first time we tried a marathon of everyday and it worked. Before that we were doing it every other day and obviously kept missing an egg when there was one!
Hi...i'm new to this site but I could do with some opinions....I have just taken my last clomid tablet (days 2 to 6)...its my first cycle of this.I am due to go for a scan on day 14 to check if there are folicles....but here is my question....my fertile window is from day 11 to day 15 so i'm gonna be busy between those days.doesn't this mean that theoretically I could get pregnant within this time....which is before the scan date?.what if the scan showed too many folicles? Its too late to say don't get busy then isn't it? if its all been successful..couldn't I already have caught??..help! I have been trying for 5 years with no help but recently found out I have pcos... So am keeping fingers crossed for clomid I guess! I think u've been patient but i'm now just sad ..Thanks
i am off from my part time job in the eveing for 2 weeks so i am going for it. I think my problem was i don't think i was having enough sex so i am this week and next week. I can't help but feel extremely tired these clomid tablets are taking it out of me... I am glad you are swell and it is all going well. I pray for your little bump to grow healthy, happy and wanted so much...
I am on clomid cycle 4 but now i am 100mg as i aske the nurse to up it as i felt nothing was happening. I took the last tablet today hot flushes are killing me like crazy. Yes you are right from day 11-15 are the days to get some loving!!!! IT's like we have been ttc for the same amount of time apart from i have had pcos for 10years.
You could be one of the lucky ones and get pg the first time.
Hello Ladies! Anyone mind if I join? I've been watching this thread for a wee while because I have been prescribed clomid and am about to start my 3rd cycle. I wasn't ovulating and that's why the GP prescribed it and my Day 21 results from cycle 2 showed that by progesterone results were 56, which I think are ok. No pg yet though! We started TTC 2 years ago in Sept - gets very depressing. Looking forward to lots of us having success stories on here... nothing stopping us now!!
ok ive finished the second course of clomid and i feel so sick with bad headaches every day,and don't get me started on the weight gain and spots!! is anyone else getting these probs?
hi numpty1972, i just finished yesterday, i feel extremeley tired and sleep on the bus, at my desk at lunch times. I had bad af cramping but other than that nothing else....
yeah i know wot u mean about the tiredness! well hopefully it may happen this month, i got rid of my biggest stress in my life yesturday, i quit my job and feel so much better!!
really? what will you do now? I wish i could quit. i had 6wks off with stress when i stared my treatment. I have'nt told them at work it's none of there business. Something has to happen now right???
hi everyone..dungungirl..cam75.. and the rest sorry for the 'me me me' posts but i went to the clinic today and guess what?? my next appt is next year in march! Unbelievable.. and i dont even have any problems (had been to prvt doc recently) they r going to check dh sample in a few months time n my blood test ALSO in a few months time..i feel like killing them. sorry for venting but thank god i am going for a two month vacation otherwise i would be sitting here doing nothing for the next 7 months! might see prvt doc if i can't push it forward.. will see you guys when i come back from holidays and will try to log in to MN whenever i have internet access.. take care all
Nandos - Well I wish I was on a 2 month vacation ( you never know this might be the rest you need to fall. Fingers crossed for you
Numpty - I have had pretty bad side effects so feel your pain. Sitting at my desk and cant even do my trs up as so bloated and uncomfortable. Worse thing is its because im ovulating but the last thing I wanna do is get jiggy when I feel fit to burst.
Oh well im sure we will all carry on reguardless until we have our bundle of joy.
hi cam75, it is definitely a joke isnt it thought that due to ttc for so long they might see me sooner..but was wrong. 7 months is ridiculous! i seriously will get some kind of treatment sooner than this goodluck with all of you taking clomid..might join you guys with clomid if i have it by end of vacation which is in october will be here till sun so will keep typing till then
i'm gonna get a job with much less stress, i really don't care about the pay cut anymore, as long as i am calmer and have less stress in my life! maybe will stand more chance of getting pg now that i'm happier, just got to stop other half from drinking on sunday night, got my scan on friday to see if i'm gonna ovulate this month so fingers crossed!! he got 2 weeks of work so we can get down to it. it has to happen this month cos next month he will be back at work and we won't get a chance as he works nights and i ovulate midweek!!! not good! god i feel fat, not a great start for setting the mood. hope you all well. good luck to all of us. hopefully i will also get job i applied for. take care all. xx
Big fingers crossed. AF is due tomorrow really hoping it doesnt happem so i dont jave to start my first round of clomid. Dont feel pg though. AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! please just once i have to be lucky. x
Well numpty so far good ish no sign of af but did a test this morning and was neg. just keeping my fingers crossed its to early to tell. If not it could be a good thing im a few days late as it will mean i can start my first round of clomid this month rather than next. Hope everything goes well with yur scan tomos my fingers are crossed for you to and for the job. I know how you feel about the nights thing, i do semi permenant nights n it doesnt go well for the ovulating thing. Bad Bad thing happened today though. i got a needle stick injury off a dirty needle at work, and have been told not to have unprotected sex untill i get the all clear and that if i am pg then ill have to start on profalatic drugs. which could harm the baby. still hopefully low risk n theyll rush the results through, but im still pooing myself. but thanks for the fingers crossed mine still are xxx
will do, just hope i can hold all the water in that they make you drink!! i don't know if it the clomid or my ibs but i need to pee constantly!! this gonna be fun. x
lol it makes it even worse when the press on your belly to do the scan. i had to go back as told bladder not full enough, which was awful as i already needed to pee. x
tell me bout it i nearly wet myself when had scan when i was pg with my son. question for anyone who may know the answer, is it poss to ovulate as early as cd9/10 as i have some pain on left side and dp just checked my mucas and thinks that i may be ovulating, which means we been doing it the wrong time every month, is it best to do it every day or every other?
hello girls, had my scan today they said i will be ovulating early this weekend in fact and i have 2 eggs!! just the problem of actually getting pg now, dp has low motility only 30% of his little fellas swim forwards!! and he refuses to give up smoking, so if this doesn't work we won't be allowed ivf because of the smoking!! fell a bit more positive now i know i'm ovulating tho. it all up to him now!! fingers crossed, hope you all getting on ok.
Hey everyone, Do you mind if I join you and gatecrash the thread? You all sound fab - and the idea of being able to 'talk' to people who are in the same boat is just fantastic. So you know something about me (on the off chance you're intertested!) my basic stats are: DH & I have been ttc for 12 months. His swimmers are basically fine (slightly low count, but motility OK). Have just taken first round of clomid (50mg days 5-9). Thought I was lucky and had no side effects but then the day after I took the last tablet I began to get ghastly headaches and nausea which lasted on and off for about five days. I was also unbeliveably moody (even I found I wanted to rip my own arm off just so I had something to slap me with - so the fact DH was so fantastically tolerant is a source of great wonder to me). Am 32 (just!... 32 and 2 days in fact) so not exactly ancient - but am suddenly panicing now that the whole conceiving thing is all proving to be a lot less straight forward than I thought it would be... Am also now a tad concerned that my GP is not doing any tests at all (neither before prescribing clomid nor since - and none are planned). None. Was just given the prescription for the clomid and told to come back in three months if it doesnt work... anyone else had this? Crikey. Have talked too much so will sign off! Blooming gargantuan buckets of baby dust to everyone
i went to the hospital today, i have 3 nice size follices and i should be ovulating sunday and tuesday!!!!!! so i will be in bed all wknd long
I have to go back tuesday reason being as my doseage of clomid has gone up they want to make sure that i don't get pg with twins/triplets? I feel good as the metformin has finally agreeing with me and i am losing weight so it is all systems go. I hope sept is my month!!! baby all the way ladies..... i hope we all have good news in the next couple of weeks..... i better get my dp some red bull he is going to need something to help replenish is stock!!!!
well sarashy i wouldv'e done another test by now cos i am so impatient! but best bet is to wait till sun or mon and test again, my fingers are so tightly crossed for you! we won't be bd tonight as i've given him the night off, poor thing knackered from wednesday night and last night but he is ack to work tommorow night!!!! just booked a hotel in yarmouth on wednesday and thurs night, going to the fireworks display there! could really do with a break, may make me relax a bit. which means no internet for 2 nights!!!!!!!!anyway hope you all doing ok. baby dust to all of us. xxx
