I know a lot of people on here have taken it. I just wanted to know how many cycles it took to work and what dose were you on? I just feel like hearing a few positive stories.

I just had one of those sinking moments when I read a thread with someohe saying they were 6 months pregnant and I realsied thats what I would have been if I didn't have a miscarriage.

Hi,please do not buy clomid online if you take it without the help of drs you can over stimulate your overies and then you will never have a child. I understand how frustrating it is as i have just been put on clomid after ttc for 10 years.xxx

I am trying for a baby and yesterday went to the consultant to have fertility test to see if I am ovulating. The consultant told me I would be given clomid to help me ovulate, but this will be after my next appointment which will be in 4 months. I am 41 so don't want to leave things too long, has anyone bought this online? Please help

Hi everyone, I know this is an old post however has some relatively new posts too..
Me and my parter have been ttc for over four years now and seems almost impossible, the amount of pregnancy tests we have been through is unbelievable lol!
finally the doctor prescribed 50mg clomid, i have finished my first round however due to hectic work commitments haven't been able to make any check ups so it's pretty much trial and error right now (which my Doctor is surprisingly enough ok with). So anyway my period is due on the 3rd of December and we are both really praying for a positive pregnancy test this time round. My question is though.. i was going to take a test this Friday (28th November) is that too soon? or should i be ok?
It was great reading all your posts, it did take a long time however lol!
Take care everyone and it would be great to hear back from a few of the people in the older posts to hear how they got on x

Hi I took clomid for first time 50mg starting 1st July took 6 days worth and just found out I'm 4 weeks pregnant so been very lucky to work first round. I did however have 1 session of acupuncture to help with fertility and it made me feel so relaxed straight afterwards and really helped I believe. Good luck everyone and try stay relax as stress lowers progesterone levels baby dust for you all xxx

Hello, I just started my first round of clomid and am wanting to hear some success stories! I have been trying for a baby since 2008 with no luck. We have had five m/c's in a row. The last one was on 10/18/13 and was a healthy baby girl. With that being said I am hoping this Clomid works. I started on 50 mg's and on cycle day 3 to day 7. I go for lab work on the 24th of this month so I hope we get good news.

Hi,

I am 28, 5ft 6in and 9 & a 1/2 stone, I have been TTC for 4 years now. I have PCOS and my husband (36) has low count and mobility.

I have done 2 cycles now on 100mg of clomid, unssucceful. i have 4 more cycles to go. I am reading a lot that if it doesnt happen straight away it probably wont happen.
Over the last four years i have tried every diet, position, excerise plan that i've read helps get pregnant, all failed!

I seem to be getting a lot of side effects with the clomid, hot flushes and depression i would say are the worst though.

Is there anything anyone would recommend i try, any hope/chance is better than none????

Thanks

TheCatInTheHairnet · 02/08/2012 03:29

And having read properly now, I have probably had 40 periods in my life (and and am now in my late 30's) and have 4 kids. Having no periods does not mean you can't have kids. In fact, my Dr at the time told me that the fact that my PCOS had shown itself as no periods was a good thing, as I hadn't put on weight etc etc. So, it was easy to manage.

Also, I know people think this is superstitious nonsense, but if you have any friends who have young babies, go hold them early-mid cycle. I swear, I didn't even mean to do this, but every time I have held newborns when I was ttc, I was instantly pg.

Sorry, I've just reread the reason this was bumped. I was replying to the original OP.

TheCatInTheHairnet · 02/08/2012 02:50

My Clomid success story is now 11! And my Metformin success story is 9! And the other two that came by freakish chance are a whole other story.....

JLH730 · 02/08/2012 02:46

Hi everyone!

I'm new at this... I've read blogs similar to this for months but just now decided to share my story to maybe get some advice. :)

Here's a little background on my story and my cycle...
I'm 26 years old (17 in Sept) and my husband is 27 years old. We got married in July 2011. We've been open and ready to have kids but haven't actively tried until now. I have never had my period in my life. Well, I bled once when I was 16 but it only lasted one day, and that was the only time. My doctors said it was probably because I was active and involved with sports. No tests were done. When I was 18, I finally got put on birth control to regulate my cycles. I successfully got periods every month.

A quick run down on my cycle and fertility:
*NEVER got my period
*Age 18-26 - Took OrthoTriclyclen BC pills to get my period
*November 2011 - Went off BC pills (not trying but not avoiding/unprotected for 9 months, never pregnant)
*March 2012 - Never got period while OFF BC pills so went to OBGYN
*March 2012 - Blood Work (about 10 different tests) resulted in the assumption that I do not ovulate and that I have 2 symptoms of PCOS; absent period and slightly higher levels of testosterone (doctor said it wasn't significant, but was high)
*March 2012 - Took first cycle of Provera (2x/5 days)to jumpstart my period- success. Got period 6 days after finishing pills. I was to take Provera every 3 months to "clean" myself out.
*June 2012 - Second cycle of Provera (2x/5 days) - success. Got period 7 days after taking last pill of Provera.
*July 2012 - Third cycle of Provera (2x/5days) - success. Got period 7 days after taking last pill of Provera. [I didn't wait 3 months after last Provera cycle because we wanted to start Clomid to begin TTC more seriously.
*August 2 - Start 50 mg Clomid on CD5 thorugh CD9

I have no idea how long my normal cycle is because it always changes depending on when I take the Provera. I am unable to get my period without any pills. I'm nervous that this will interfere with the Clomid process.

How will I know when the end of my cycle is if my period never comes naturally??

I feel like my scenario is different than most because of my completely absent periods. I am hopeful that Clomid will work but worried what my future will hold if it doesn't... :/ However, my OBGYN/fertility doctor said she would only let me be on Clomid up to 150mg then we'd move right into IUI. She said she understands that when I couple wants a baby that they want them now, not in 2-3 years. I feel like we're in good hands... fingers crossed!

My husband plans to have a sperm analysis test soon. I'm worry about my fullopian tubes being clogged, cysts on my ovaries, everything! I wish I just knew the answers now. Can anyone relate with that?

I also don't want to overreact because we're so early in our process... we've told our close friends and family that we're having issues or may have issues in the future but who knows! It may work the first time around.

THANK YOU all for sharing your success stories and GOOD LUCK to all of you who are TTC!

Hi, DH and me have been TTC since a year now, our reports are all normal, doc says it?s unknown infertility problem so she put me on 1st round 50 mg of Clomid (day 3-7)., I have a regular 28 Days cycle and I O?d on the 14th day of my cycle( Did OPK and charting) . I didn?t have any side effect of clomid all the while neither on the day I O?d .. I am right now on CD22 and since the CD 18 I have been having cramping and tingle in my tummy, it usually shifts side mostly on the left side, the cramping lasts for about 30-40 seconds. Also occasional cramp or pull on bbs like a sharp shooting one. Apart from this is have no other symptoms like nausea or anything a little tired & lazy not much though.. I do have sudden heartburn.
I am really getting hopeful, is this implantation cramps are like?

Hello - quick question for you all... I am on my first round of 50mg clomid (day 2-6) and today is cd5, will finish the course tomorrow. I am not having bad side effects, but today i had a lot of pinkish brown spotting which is v unusual for me so early in the cycle. I assume its clomid but have any of you experienced this? Thanks!!!

Hallehope · 31/03/2011 20:21

JRsandCoffee thank you sweety good luck to you too xxx

JRsandCoffee · 31/03/2011 17:48

Hello Ladies

I'm on CD 14 of a 100mg of Clomid cycle, I had two goes at 50 mg to no avail, although they were both taken at what we'll describe as "festive" times when frankly all attempts at moderation etc went right out of the window!! Currently have slightly crampy feelings but had a neg ov test earlier so either the time has passed or will soon be upon me! The DH is away so there has been (and possibly will be more) comedy scooting round the country to meet up. We're being determined as he's about to go away for quite a while so this is last chance while I'm still a stripling of 36........

On the 50 mg it bizarrely seemed like my symptoms were worse than they have been this time - bloating, hot flushes, weird dreams, headaches. This time there has been considerably less booze (not none but certainly lots less) involved and more exercise and I feel much, much better, more normal. I was dreading it but seems much better. I took it first thing in the morning with my breakfast to try and put as much distance between it and the sleeping times as possible, not sure if that made any difference. The main side effect I'm noticing this time are getting hot at night (although not as badly as before and only on a few nights) and that CM seems to not be quite so visible.

Hallehope I have everything crossed for you! Hoping for good news!

oneyeartrying · 31/03/2011 13:34

Hello can I join please? We have been trying to conceive naturally for 12 frustrating months (with all sorts of aids... from vitamins, to acupuncture and chinese herbs). And finally I started my first round of clomid yesterday, day 2-6 with timed intercourse and scan on day 11. I have regular 32 days periods, I ovulate etc but havent worked so far.
Anyone else with clomid for unexplained infertility?

I only have 1 month of clomid (I am on CD 3 today, 2nd day of clomid) and then I will see how it goes. for now, I feel a renewed sense of purpose...No major side effects for now except for a splitting headache which they had warned me about.

Hallehope · 31/03/2011 02:09

Hi everyone I'm sorry I haven't posted much I hope everyone is doing well xxxx

I'm currently on day 26 of my 1st round of 100mg clomid I really have no idea what to expect from it as I don't know anyone who's ever taken it and this is my very first try

Have any of you guys noticed any side affects???

I felt totally normal while taken the tablets although I noticed more cramping and an increased feeling of being swollen inside around ovulation I'm assume this is due to the increased follicle development. The last week iv noticed I can hardly eat and when I do I feel sick, I'm tiered all the time and I'm getting alot of acid my breasts are also really painful and my lower tummy feels really odd ( I can't really describe it any other way )

Has anyone else noticed things like this during there cycles on clomid ???

I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up but I really don't know what to think I could really use some support :(

BabyBunz · 22/03/2011 00:08

Hello All,

I just wanted to give you all some hope. I got a BFP last week! I've been keeping my fingers crossed, and just got the results back from my 2nd beta hcg - 5000! They estimate I am at 4 1/2 weeks.

This was Clomid round 2. Things we did differently: me & DH were exercising more, used Preseed during O week, and I prayed A LOT. This month was also the first month I was on prescription prenatal vitamins and DH was also taking a multivitamin. I also have not been drinking any alcohol and have cut down on my caffeine the last couple of months.

I hope you all are doing ok. Don't give up! It WILL happen. I never thought I would get a BFP. Grin
