Starting Clomid tomorrow!

Yes it’s so hard.
Do you know your FSH, AMH and AFC results by any chance?

I hope it happens for you this month. Did you decide not to do OPKs? @TopSecret99

Hey girls now are we getting on? I'm in the midst of symptom spotting and so far spotted big fat nothing. So thinking I'm already out for the month ☹️ tho I have no idea at all when I ovulated

4 cycles and then next stop will be ivf but god knows how long will have to wait for that.

Thank you I really hope you get yours too. such a tough journey isn't it.

I have a good ovarian reserve so I guess the quality must be poor? Who knows- unexplained infertility is such a frustrating diagnosis.

You are lucky to have your 2 but I understand the want for another. It will happen, this one is just keeping you waiting a bit longer

@TopSecret99 how many cycles of clomid are you trying? Will it be straight to IVF then? Is your ovarian reserve all ok?

I hope you get your BFP soon. I am so lucky to have my two boys but I knew from the day I had my first I wanted three and I just don’t feel complete. However, I’m so grateful and so lucky I have two and I never take a second with them for granted x

@Hoping43 yes HSG was standard where I am. We've been trying just short of 2 years and never been pregnant we are going via NHS as will get 1 free cycle of IVF. I'm praying it doesn't get to tho. I'm 37 and do worry that it's too late.

I'm not sure HSGs are that much private- from what I've seen you need to shop around as the prices can vary.

Keep us updated on your journey, wishing you all the luck in the world! X

I took Clomid 16 years ago and my amazing 15 year old daughter is sitting next to me. Definitely go for it.

Clomid made me feel really sick unfortunately. Wishing you lots of luck OP ☘️☘️☘️

@TopSecret99 thanks so much for replying. Was your HSG recommended as standard? I don’t think all trusts do it and I want it doing due to having a section but worried if they won’t turn I’m going to have to pay £2k to have it done privately plus all the costs of IVF (convinced myself that’s the route we will have to go down now).

How long have you been TTC and how old are you?

Ahh fab ok so yeah I've had them all done including AMH and HSG and all fine.

They told me they prescribe chlomid to people who are ovulating as it helps with overall fertility and makes you release more than one egg so higher chance of a positive. X

@TopSecret99 we’ve had all the tests done and everything has come back within normal range apart from haven’t got AMH results yet. Only thing I haven’t had done is an HSG and nobody has suggested it yet but I have had a c section previously so maybe they will 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ahh ok so have you had any tests at all or is this first appointment?

@TopSecret99 how have they confirmed ovulation? No, it hasn’t happened to me yet but wondering if it might at my fertility appt in a couple of weeks as I have two children aged 5 and 2 and been trying again for a year now with no luck x

Yes me!! I've been diagnosed with unexplained- ovulate every month so bit sceptical about it working. Is this the same with you?

Hi ladies. Is anyone taking clomid who already ovulated on their own?

Yesssssssss @EMM01 that's fab news!!! So happy for you! xx

I got my mid-luteal P results back for the day 21 bloods and was told they were 'normal -no action'. I'll need to speak to the doctor on Monday morning to clarify what that means and get the levels, but I am presuming that ovulation happened, and progesterone is now at the right levels. God I hope so lol!!!! I am finally functioning normally lol! I don't think there will be any other success for me this month, but if I ovulated at all I'll be over the moon. Very hopeful now for the months ahead.
I didn't take a test btw, I'll just wait it out. I'll be happy with actual ovulation this month!

@EMM01 if you haven't already- don't dooooo it!! One thing I've learnt it wait for your period to be late/ not come. It's so distressing when you get a negative and if you're like me you'll just spend the whole time til your period comes thinking it might have been a false negative so you feel the disappointment twice

Don't mean to sound negative babe but I made a conscious decision a while ago and defo works out better in the log run.

I have EVERYTHING crossed you get your positive this month xx

Hi girls, I was going to post on this earlier this morning but stopped myself.... and now I'm overthinking again!! hate this waiting, I'm very tempted to buy some pregnancy tests on way home and start in the morning.... the early detection ones. I'm only CD23 (total guess) and is too early, but I don't know.... it might give me some sort of answer to work with I'll ring for my results from the bloods first. This weak has dragged. Will be hard stand five more months of this on clomid and then wait forever for ivf if it doesn't work

Thank you @naevo

Urgh it's the worst isn't jt! Every month something different seems to happen and you think "omg was that a sign??" Nope... no not this time!!

I don't wanna sound to negative... we got this!! It's gonna be our time!!

Yeah, I usually use ovulation tests but didn't this cycle as read they aren't very accurate when on chlomid so didn't see the point. So now god knows... I don't usually have an signs I have so... urgh!! This is so hard and I'm getting frustrated and impatient!! Lol
