This is my 2nd month and i find it weird that my period only lasted for 4 days when it always lasts for 7 days, is that normal with clomid?x

Hi there,
sorry went to post in the wrong section earlier so here is a copy of what i wrote:
I have just started on my 1st cycle of Clomid in late Feb this yr and now in the 2WW. I took clomid late, started on the 7th day of my cycle which I've read wont be as effective as on the 2nd or 5th day. Anyways another big blunder is that I took double dose (100mg)on the 1st day of pill to make up for the lateness lol. But rest of the days took only 50mg.
So am not hoping much this month ..
but will update on my progress n hopefully will get a BFP soon!
P.S. I dont have PCOS or any other major problems except that my period is sometimes 31days and sometimes 35 days(every alternate months). So far doc says I ovulated n my ovaries r fine, so i dont know if Clomid would work??

Hi Eleveld... thank you so much..am trying not to get overally excited as soooo early and also miscarried in Oct so it's causing me a lot of anxiety. BUT as DH says, we must think positive. Yes I had severe severe endometriosis. Have had 2 op's so far and saw consultant this morning re Endo. Told him I was preg so obviously holding off with any further op's but eventually I will need one as it is all over my bowel and bladder as well as all the usual places. All I can say to you is... keep trying and be forceful with the experts. I was told by a very high up professor that there was no chance I could conceive without IVF, so far I have done it twice, 1st without any help but m/c @ 5 weeks and 2nd with 50mg of clomid. Fight for the clomid esepcially if you are like me and your ovaries are stuck together (or frozen as they say). We will just have to see what happens. Fingers Crossed.

Sambrads, thank you for your support. xxxx

i hadbad stretching pains with my ds so try not to worry.

oh im so happy for you

Eleveld · 04/03/2008 10:47

hi Pinkali37

First of all, massive congratulations, you must be over the moon.

I think we may have met on a previous thread? Sorry for being nosey but did you say you had severe endo? If so, it's even more encouraging to hear your news. I have endo and am having my next scan this lunchtime to see how bad it is at the moment.

Am on month 3 of TTC

Pinkali37 · 04/03/2008 10:33

Have just seen my consultant and he has told me not to worry. Apparently no reason to think the worse. He wants me to have a scan at 6 weeks so that will be in 2 weeks.

Sambrads - did you have any pain early on???

sambrads · 03/03/2008 17:07

i was probably lot worse than you i am a born worrier its awful but hey we would not be women if we did not worry

i am 10 wes now and i am not settled yet as i am getting my scan on 20th and counting the days . this is my second child so you would think i would be less worried but im worse this time think dh is reday to leave

my sickness started nearly straight away it is awful never had any wit ds so i am finding it hard to deal with .

think we should start a new thread when you feel ready for clomid success stories having babies 2008

Pinkali37 · 03/03/2008 16:10

Were you the same? How far are you now? When did your morning sickness start?

sambrads · 03/03/2008 14:34

oh im so excited and happy for you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

try and relax say after me this ones a keeper

Pinkali37 · 03/03/2008 12:05

Sure did, although every other day.

I can't concentrate i'm so nervous and have no idea how I am going to get through the next few weeks.

sambrads · 03/03/2008 11:48

Pinkali37 · 03/03/2008 11:41

Moonlit · 03/03/2008 11:38

Pinkali37 just think positive thoughts and it will all work out ok

You can sell your clomid to me

Pinkali37 · 03/03/2008 11:35

Thank you ever so much But i am soo nervous as m/c in October and I am sooo early at the moment. I think it is sods law as my doc prescribed the next 3 months worth of clomid at 100mg.

I suppose I just have to hold on and calm down as as my husband just said "what will be will be".

Pinkali37 · 03/03/2008 11:33

6th feb..

Moonlit · 03/03/2008 11:32

Hi Pinkali37,

I have been watching these thread closely, as I am hoping my GP will finally prescribe Clomid in three months time, that's of course if I am not pregnant already.

You and Sambrads are great examples of Clomid working. Congratulations to you both!

sambrads · 03/03/2008 11:22

what was the date of your last period??

i will work out when your due .

please dont do anymore tests your consultant will be able to put your mind at rest

Pinkali37 · 03/03/2008 10:56

I feel shakey. When should it implant? I feel so nervous I daren't move. I think it would be middle of November. Thank the lord I am seeing my consultant tomorrow.

I can't believe it yet. Last time I did the test on the Monday and by the Tuesday evening it was all over. I have given up coffee and am already taking folic acid so that's good.

sambrads · 03/03/2008 10:48

are you ok in shock im sure

when will you be due ?????

sambrads · 03/03/2008 10:47

oh my god thats so brill yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

oh my god so hppy for you [grin[

Pinkali37 · 03/03/2008 10:43

OH GOD Sambrads... you're going to kill me. I've tested and it's POSITIVE......................................................... clearblue digital test. I'm sooooo scared as I miscarried in October... This means I am 4 weeks on wednesday.

Pinkali37 · 03/03/2008 10:16

I agree with you. I'm just going to forget about it well kind of.

sambrads · 03/03/2008 10:14

because i was told i did not ovulate i never thought about it .

i do think you can start to imagine things a straight away you must be pregnant please dont doi this to yourself as its awful when you see a negitive

i seriously think you have a great chance this mnth so try and stay cool relax and dont serach for symptoms

its so easy for me to say as i was a panic freak hahahaha

Pinkali37 · 03/03/2008 09:25

Apart from taking the test would you have had any idea you were pregnant? Some people get very early symptoms and they "just know".

sambrads · 03/03/2008 09:15

no i have had no bleeding at all but dont wait on bleeding as i never did with ds .

some people think they should have bleeding so show someting has happened this is not the case

Pinkali37 · 03/03/2008 09:07

Oh god that must have been an amazing feeling. My only thing is, that ok so I have ovulated but it all depends on my husbands sperm... They better have been swimming weel !! I think I will leave it until day 33 so next Monday. I had a few pains the other day like sharp pain below my tummy button. Did you have implantation bleeding then?
