Clomid takers- September thread

So sorry about your period showing up sunshyne. But, like Awen says, at least you know that the Clomid is doing something and your body is now behaving more like it should be doing.
Fingers crossed for your next cycle

sunshyne. I guess a positive note would be at least your body is doing something and getting already to make baby.

Thanks for all the goodluck. Unfortunately my period has just started 1 day early ! Back on the Clomid tomorrow

Love the name too Flosspot 10 weeks already! Am 31 weeks nearly 32! If this one arrives at time ds1 did only 6 weeks left... could be less

Hi makecakesnotwar - like the new name floss

I was told not to use OPKs with PCOS as they weren't accurate. I had to rely on ewcm as temping was completely off with PCOS too. But it worked. 10 weeks and counting.

Hello Awen- can't believe you are 30 weeks already. Too excited!!!!

PS- I am flosspot with a new name.....

PMSL at 'onga bonga'!
But it is good advice. I have a friend who conceived her ds on Clomid and she oved on CD9. It is different for everyone. I have got some OPKs and so I'll proabaly continue to use them - but I now know that they are unreliable.
At the end of the fourth paragraph here it say that OPKs can give a false positive if used too early.
One of the replies here says that if the lines are equal then you are ov-ing.
I Googled this - peruse at your leisure

Hope everyone is well and happy

Moocha - I was told not to use home ov test kits. Especially as they arent reliable with PCOS & clomid.

I ov'd very late in cycle around day 42 iirc, I only suspected because of CM. My tip is to onga bonga everyday and keep going all through cycle unless of course period turns up. Worked for us and now 31 weeks preg.

day 16 - no ov yet!!

Day 15 no ovulation yet- has anyone else had a delayed ov on clomid??

fingers crossed for test sun

Tigerschick - I cant quite believe how time has flown either, am 31 weeks today Feel very lucky to be where i am tho. DP & I have been talking about the next one. I know it is early but having problems with PCOS and ttc we are trying to plan a little more. Will def be back on this board then as well. I hope the increased dose does the trick for you guys. Keeping everything crossed.

Beena - sorry for your period turning up. Fingers crossed that next cycle works for you xxx

Hi all

Awen - glad to hear that things are progressing nicely - I know I sound like a broken record but I can't believe you are 30 weeks already!!

Sunshyne - Really good luck for tomorrow. Got my fingers crossed for you.

Beena - so sorry about your period showing up. What a bugger! Ah well, at least you know that the Clomid made you ovulate ... that's something I suppose.

Anyone else - hope all is well.

I've just started my third course of progesterone, today. So hopefully my period will show up a week on Thursday and then I can start on the higher dose of Clomid. DH is worried that a higher dose means I'm more likely to react to it - had no real side-effects last 2 times.

Hi Sunshyne

good luck with your test - let us know how you get on.

As for me - AF arrived this morning after 7 days of spotting and cramping. Feeling very deflated and sad to be honest as convinced myself the spotting and cramps might have been implantation. Oh well, on to cycle 2. Having follicel tracking scans this month starting on day 10 so hopefully we'll be able to see what's been going on inside, if anything.....

Hope all you other clomidifiers are having mroe luck than me!

Beena

Hello everyone

Good luck "Frank"

Beena - How are things going with you now ? I had the same thing with the AF pains on day 14 !! Very strange, I have been feeling a bit sick as well. This clomid is strong stuff. I am due to take my test tomorrow, I really don't know what to expect as my body has been going through a whole load of unusual feelings. I am trying not to get my hopes up.

Wishing you all a very happy haloween just in case I don't get time to chat to you again before Wednesday.

Just found you all again Fab news nh101 how exciting

How is everyone? Had 30 week scan on Monday all is well, baby growing just right and is most def a little boy.

Hi floss

Oh Beena. Sounds thoroughly awful.
I'm afraid I don't really know anything about the side effects.
Hopefully your 21 day results will show something helpful ... either way make sure you speak to either your specialist or at least your gp about your concerns.

Forgot to say - have also been getting AF type cramps for the last 2 days as well just can't believe AF has arrived so very early.

Am now really worried as have just started spotting and its only 7 days since ov. I normally manage 9-10 days before I start spotting but this is the worst ever. Is this another of the many horirbel side effects of clomid does anyone know? Does anyone else get this?

Just back from very embarrassing trip to the fertility clinic! Fainted half way through my day 21 blood test! Am not good with blood tests at the best of times but think I must just have had low blood sugar this morning as didn;t have time for brekkie before I went for it. The nurses were so lovely though and rushed in wit hot sugary tea and biscuits!

Get my results tomorrow and really hope they are better than last month before I started the clomid otherwise they are going to double my dose up to 100mg.

good luck sunshyne

Hi tigers Hope you are well? give me an email when you get a chance!

I know what I said I wasn't going to use the OPK's but I had a funny feeling this morning. And I was right i had a very clear positive ovulation test. So here goes.....Stage 2 commences.

Good luck to you all out there I wish you the same.

Thank heaven for Clomid - I thought I was past it

Thanks girls I'll keep you posted and v useful info Atilia as always so thanks for that. You are a font of knowledge!
