Clomid-ifiers, get yourselves over here! July thread

Thanks flosspot so sorry to hear of miscarriage

Hi everyone, this threads very quite, hope its not me
Just wanted to ask your opinion, im cd14, been looking for signs etc. And all i've noticed is my boobs (especially left one) seem really sore all of a sudden.

Has anyone had this just before ovulation on clomid? No ew cm so i've been saving my opks for a couple of days.

Any symtoms you had before ov on clomid would be very helpful

Hope everyone is ok
Thankyou x

Hi, I just wanted to drop in and offer good luck wishes. My DS is now 8 months old after 2 years of ttc with one mc then a cycle of clomid. It turned me into the psycho woman from hell. Never did understand why they gave you tablets to help you conceive which made you so horrid no one wanted to have sex with you...

Anyway, we are now ttc no 2 and if we have no success by Christmas, we shall go back for more Clomid.

I hope you all get the beautiful babies you long for.

on the lowest dose of 50mg.... think I started to go pmt mad towards end of 1st cycle...! very strange as never suffered pmt b4... Have two months left after this cycle...

Can i ask how much your on minxi, it hasn't turned me psyhco, I actually really like the affect its having on me so far, its made me feel much more confident and brave (live in a dodgy area) whereas i didn't dare leave the house before .

Plus much less snappy and weepy, I guess its balancing my hormones. I really hope it doesn't change later on in the cycle or as my dose increases. I'm on it for a year so it better stay this way!!

1wish.. I was totally devastated after the 1st cycle of clomid not working, just had this vision of a magic pill and plus added to the fact turned into some crazy psycho women not a good combination ! was like that for first two cycles, the third and this one am fine..thank god!!!

Am now on cycle 4 day 14 and to be honest haven't done the opk thing this month or temped properly...dh not been around since monday - back today so hopeful can get some bd in today/tomorrow otherwise probably a wasted cycle...

so I know how you feel....i too am fed up with it all daren't take a break though as might go back to pshyco girl again?!

Hi everybody
Cd10 here 1st clomid cycle, just done a digital opk and no smiley face. It sounds riduculous but i'm just as gutted as when i get a bfn, i've even thought to myself 'knew it wouldn't work, sod the whole thing'

Its the 1st test out the box fgs, but i've gone from feeling positive, to thinking its never gonna hapen again, all based on the result of one opk!!!

Trouble is starting on clomid gives you the same fresh optimism you had when you first started ttc before you realise there's a problem. But that optimism can be easily shattered and your back to the despair of 'it'll never happen' with alarming speed.

Sorry for the rant and the philosophy!!!, hope your all ok xxx

Thanks, everyone. CAela- actually, I am booked in for my first acupuncture appointment in mid-July. I thought it might help. Congrats on your lovely boy.

Floss- I hear you. I am so frustrated. I just can't believe I got pregnant so easily last time only to lose the baby. I can understand how you feel. It so horrible to be trying for so long, to get pregnant and for it not to work. I am really sorry and hope you are feeling a bit stronger. I still feel devastated about the miscarriage.

Anyway, I'm off tomorrow and have decided to take a break from the clomid. Hope you all have a good few weeks!

Have you tried acupuncture? I have PCOS, had 6 goes with Clomid without success, including two goes of IUI. Had a break, went to acupuncture for 3 months and became pregnant. I now have a lovely, 9 week old boy.

Good job, Floss. Thanks for your kind words on the other thread (and for the chocolate). So, if any one has any ideas as to how I can stop obsessing please let me know. I feel it is all I think about and the cycle of hope and disappointment is taking its toll!

I think the brief holiday will do me good. I promise to come back in a more positive frame of mind.

I would also love to know if anyone has been told anything about taking a break from clomid?? I read somewhere that you are to take a break after 3 cycles- I think that was in Zita Wests book... I'm weighing up my options of whether to keep at it or take a month off to see how my body responds. Any advice/ thoughts... anyone?
