hey shazbot im on the other thread now. come over!!

Hi wizzywig its good to hear that you concieved so quickly i took my 1st tablet today i already feel a little sick i know it will be all worth while in the end.

thanks nomoremagnolia, see you there

new clomid thread here come over and join us

hi shazbot, im sort of new to this thread (only posted in july). its crazy to hear about having to wait years just for clomid. its just a cheap tablet and then some scans for monitoring. its not as if its something hi-tech like ivf. aagh the nhs-fertility situation in this country makes me mad but very grateful at the same time. my 9month son was conceived on 5 months worth of clomid (100mg). anyway ive been ttc since june (so around 3 months) and ive had two day 21 blood tests which show im not ovulating again so i got my prescripton from my gynae today for clomid. here we go on again! everyone better hide cos next month im going to be the crazy clomid woman!! good luck everyone, i'll be thinking of you while im keeping those legs in the air. xxxxx

Hi all i am new to mumsnet and i have just been prescribed clomiphene 50mg. I would like to know how successfull it can be as i have been trying for a baby for years. I had to beg my doc for the tablets as i do not fit the criteria for treatment from the NHS as my fiance has a child from a previous relationship dreaded postcode lottery. Ive only been given 3 months supply so i am kinda hoping it will happen very fast.

Hiya NH101- well as far as I know clomid has "worked" in that they think I am OVing. I do get AF regularly now and they did a prog test in the middle of my first cycle- I never saw the results for that as he said that as long as I am getting AF regularly then I should be Oving. Clomid hasn't "worked" in that I am not pg, so after my next cycle (start soon) I will have surgery. There were suggestions that I had scarring caused by the ERPC or maybe endemitriosis (which was tentatively diagnosed many years ago).

I am just hanging on to the fact that our MC were a sad event and that we can still get pg. It is awful, though, I know as you are so upset about losing a baby and on top of that you feel like it has screwed up your body! Take care and try to stay positive!

Hey flosspot - all your feelings are normal, especially so soon after your miscarriage. You are still grieving. I didn't feel better about other people being PG until five months after my mc. Are you ttc your first? I am and yes it seems unfair when other people don't have to temp/pee on sticks etc but wouldn't you rather be in control of your fertility?

I worry too that I don't OV as I have never had regular periods (although was on pill for long time) and wonder whether my last pregnancy was just a rebound after coming off the pill. But we both have to be comforted by the fact we DID get PG - and in all likelihood we will again.

Don't you just hate it when people say try to relax? But try to relax!

I am on second day of Clomid today and feel no adverse reaction - when would I start to get side-effects if I was going to?

Have been lurking but not posting sorry! Anyone else think we ought to start a new thread - it's not July anymore and soon it won't be August either!

Roll call:

Sorry I haven't had time to read whole thread ... I conceived my DD on second clomid cycle. On-the-ball GP realised I had long cycle and did the ov test on day 28 not 21...looked good first time but no luck. I used ov prediction kit second time which showed I was ovulating but later than standard day 14 (or whatever it is, this stuff used to be engraved on my mind but its 9 years ago!) so if you think you have long cycle on clomid may be worth ov testing...otherwise keep ttcing longer!

Best of luck to all of you. I wouldn't be EmsMum without clomid.

Sorry ladies - hijack thread. Hi Tigerschick - just popped over to see how you are. Glad clomid didn't send you raving mad as you feared

Sorry to hear about AF floss - are you definitely OV'ing? I read somewhere that sometimes it doesn't work. I just thought with your mega long cycles... and maybe the same would happen to me. Wasn't your last Clomid one 40 days? I thought they were supposed to be the same every month.

Sorry for being so numb about it all.. I'm a total Clomid thickie - just feel like I have been thrown into it and I don't know what I am doing!.

Hi ladies

nh101 - glad to hear that the progesterone has done its job. Hope the Clomid doesn't give you problems, I had no side-effects at all, thank goodness.

Flosspot - sorry that your period turned up, but like lulu said, at least the Clomid has shortened your cycle and you can now think about the next attempt.

Lulu - hope the accupuncture goes/went OK. I saw a clinic in my local town advertising 'alternative therapies' the other day. Was tempted to get a brochure but I was driving and there was no where to park. Also not sure what dh would think.

I'm still waiting until cd35 (currently cd20) when I can start another course of progesterone and begin all over again. I did, however, have rather a lot of cm yesterday (sorry, TMI) so, you never know, but I'm not expecting anything.
Hope everyone is OK

Oh Floss, sorry to hear AF arrived, but yes it is good that clomid has got you on a shorter cycle. I find I am gutted when AF arrives, but then after a few days just try to focus on the next attempt! Hope you are feeling OK. Have you started 4th clomid cycle, then?

I'm off for my acupuncture appt in an hour.

Ignore me, NH101. Your doc will know far better than I. Good luck with it all.

I didn't know that Lulu. My doc said it was still worth temping - will bear that in mind, though. Will use OPK sticks as well this month. Thanks for info.

Well done on the AF, nh101 and good luck with the clomid. I could be wrong but I thought temping was tough with clomid. You should ov 5-9 days after your last pill.

Hi everyone! I finally started my period yesterday (almost 12 weeks since last one!) after a course of progesterone so now I am on CD2 and took my first Clomid this morning.

I am shitting myself!

It has been just over five months since my miscarriage and I am just beginning to feel "over" it and now I might be putting myself back on that roller coaster again.

I am temping to see if I can pinpoint ovulation. And am a bit scared cos I am not going to be monitored so fear ending up PG with six.

I am mad busy at work so may not be able to check in very often but will keep you posted with any news. Good luck to everyone else.

Morning all- how is everyone? Floss- where are you at now? I am CD23 and have the horrid feeling I didn't OV this time. Usually I get really a really sore left boob- one lump after I ov and I have nothing this time.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Enjoying the sunshine here! Tho I got stung by nettles when we went blackberrying earlier
Didn't realise it was the bank holiday until yesterday That's what you get when I'm a SAHM and dh works pretty much everyday regardless!
