Everyone here who has been on clomid...

How was it for you? Thought this might get more traffic than on the Conception board, so here goes.

On 4th cycle of clomid. 150mg. Am beginning to feel as if I am never going to get there. On the 2nd cycle I did ovulate, but didn't get pregnant. The 1st and 3rd cycle I didn't ovulate at all. It seems it's all really hit and miss.

So what I'm hoping is that there will be some MNers out there who can give me a wee boost with their positive outcomes on clomid, as I am really feeling down in the dumps this evening.

TIA

I couldn't ovulate on clomid, tried 3 cycles I think.

I did one round of tamoxifen and had success!

Good luck.

Don't know how much she was taking - am guessing it wasn't triple the normal dose though Smile and twins do run in the family.

Good luck - I'm sure lots of people will be here with their positive stories.

Space as you can probably tell from my name, I'm a PCOSer too.

Were you on metformin as well, by any chance?

Congrats on your DC :)

Sorry cross posted there jumping

Thank you for the luck, not so sure about the fun after all these years but I suppose I'll muster up some energy for upcoming shag week!

I had two tries at Clomid. Both 6 month trials. Unfortunately it didn't work for me, but I had PCOS so maybe that's why? I always remember my DH going in to Boots to collect it for me, and telling me that the lady behind the counter said it was very successful for a lot of people. And I think it is, so don't give up hope. I conceived naturally in the end, against all odds.
Good Luck, it WILL happen for you at some point.

Not me personally - close friend had several MCs and used clomid, this would be 17 years back - healthy 16yo son, deliberate gap and a healthy 13yo girl.

Good luck and have fun trying until it kicks in Grin

well, I don't want to scare you but a member of my family had triplets after taking Clomid Grin
