Baby dust to all

Hi everyone, I am worried about side effects of clomid, taking 1st one next week and have read about depression and risk of ectopic as being some problems. Any thoughts on this? All you ladies sound really strong, I know it can be hard, hope some of your strength rubs off on me

Good vibes and all,V x

hi all

Ray - i hope you get you bfp next week i have my fingers crossed

sarashy - im so glad you are getting taken seriously as sme docs are a nightmare. good luck with the clomid

pinkie - im glad your not getting too many side effects and your feeling positive about it all.

I have my scan next wed to see if any pcos or problems. I finished my last clomid tabs this week and now my dh has a good count we are going to try every day, if poss, from cd12-22. Im so hoping this month works so i dont have to have all the other tests or to go through ivf.

Mums are the best and mine was so worried about the tabs and any time i said i felt a bit funny she would rant about them lol.

Hope all you girlies are feling more positive this month.

Pinkie, thankyou for the positve thinking am trying so hard not to get hopes up and then they spring up out of nowhere 'saying you are you are' anf then another vioce saying 'youre not youre not'. its like having alittle angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. Oh dear i do sound completely mad i think i can hear sirens coming to take me away he he Who called them !!!!! he he he. Make sure you keep us posted on this month. Losts and lots of good luck to you.

Sarashy, Hi dont think i have spoken to you before. Good luck getting the clomid, it took me 4 years to get it although i dont have a prob Ov but they seem to be realy tight with it.
I dont know if i should say this but you can buy it on the internet if they wont give it to you obviously iys up to you and DH my DH wouldnt let me and made me go to docs i'm glad i did as have it now. Just keep going on at them.

Nandos. Of course i wouldnt actually do it but sometimes realy have to force myself not too how awful is that!!!

nandos dont you worry ill be grabbin it with both hands and begging and pleading with my second consultant that he should at least give me a try. hopefully referral will come through quickly.

dungungirl, 14wks! thats fast..hope your pregnancy goes smoothly
pinkie, sorry to hear AF came..hope this month is the month for you
ray, i just came across other thread which you wrote and i agree with you..sometimes we have the need to give someone a slap
sarashy, grab the clomid quick and join us!

Hi sarashy,

I know exactly how you feel they made me do 2cycle day 21progesterone tests before they would agree that i wasnt ovulating.

Mums can be funny about it dont take it to heart she means well. mine has spent this month asking why i feel sick, tired headaches etc needing to be reminded of clomid every time.

Start taking this months tomorrow so keep us posted how you get on and we can swop info.

Baby dust to you

whooo!!!!! hope you guys are ok not been on for a while taken me ages to catch up on all the gossip.
I say whooo!!!! cause i had some good news finally today (well i think its good anyway). I HAVENT OVULATED!!!!! yeah!!! i sound mad but at least it now means they are going to give me a chance at clomid. I told my consultant that i thought the first test was a fluke. so hopefully when i get my referral through for my second opinion he will give it me straight away.
My mum is being a little negative about it as she said i should want to know why but im seeing it as a positive as at least now i can do something about it. DH is also very pleased.
fingerscrossed and baby dust to all

Have lots of CM and the mo which i normally get around when Af due but not normally this early. trying to keep reminding myself that clomid can affect Af in this way and that just getting myself at it. I'm sure that Af will come with a vengenace soon but i realy wish it would hurry up so that we can begin again.

am going to try from CD 8 next month and BD everyother day and then do OPKS and BD on day of surge day after miss and day and day after that. DH realy up for that he he, eyes nearly opped out of his head.
Its realy nice to be able to share this with someone who is also taking clomid.
have Sister, Best friend and another friend who are all PG at the mo and finding it realy difficult to cope, find i dont want to see them and feel like a bitch for feeling like that.

Hi ray,

CM = cervical mucus which can be dried up by the clomid.

Have tried preseed and its worth a try can be bought over the web best site for delivery is access diagnostics. its a lubricant that is not harmful to swimmers and is meant to help.

AF been ok massive pains and swelling yesterday.

keep me posted on how you get on.

lots of baby dust

Hi Pinkie,

No Af as yet and havent done any BFs, how good am i. I realy realy hate them so am putting off as much as i can, may consider doing one MOn if no Af but sure its not due til Tues anyway.
I keep getting sharp pains and then very dull ache which comes and goes, BBs realy sore but always are but this ache is unusual for me. V V tired but think may be the clomid doing that.

Apparently acupunture is meant to be very good, i have had it before but the man i saw was like big on herbal treatments to and felt pushed into trying it all so stopped going. May find another in the area though and just have it for the TTC. Whats CM????? If grapefruit juice helps worth a try. Also read on other tread about Preseed, not sure what it is but seems to work for people.
Whats AF been like is it awful due to clomid??

Baby dust back hope its your month this month.

Hi ray

had acupuncture yesterday and af disappeared until coming back with vengenance this morning so am classing today as cd1. (yesterday was just a threat with some staining -sorry TMI)

doing acupuncture again next weds which will be cd6 and last clomid day wonder what they will make of that.

Have read on another thread that grapefruit juice helps CM so with side effects of clomid am going to give it a try apparently needs to be unsweetened.

How are you getting on any BFs yet.

Lots of baby dust to you

Hi Pinkie,

Havent done BF as yet was going to wait til next thurs and dont think Af is due til weds. cant be sure though. This is driving me mad though bless me.

So sory Af arrived for you what a bummer i realy hope it works this month for you. Keep me updated of progress and make sure try every other day for CD8 give you the best chance.

Hi Ray

AF arrived this morning - bring on the Clomid. Taking clomid days 2 - 6 and no blood work this month as gynae was pleased with last months. Going to buy clearblue digital opk with the smiley face as says on box can use with clomid. starting acupuncture, increased water intake no alcohol, no coffee and just on another thread got told grapfruit juice meant to help EWCM so going to get some.

Have you got your BFP

Love and baby dust

Hi Nandos, from what i understand clomid can give sore boobs etc. I thought it would make me Ov earlier to they said 7 days after taking last tablet but it didnt come until 11 days after i took last tablet. What was that all about. I'm realy hung up on having Ov on CD 17 but i didnt to OPK either i just get pain when Ov so go on that. I suppose i could have OV early so AF would be due now. i had CD 28 last month and perhaps thats why getting AF pains already. Hopefully just the nips paining is a good sign i'll keep fingers crossed for you.

Hey pinkie have you had AF yet or BFP?

Hi ray, everyone
i didnt check for ov this month as i didnt bring OPK when travelling..so i dont know when i ov. its usually CD 15/16 but the clomid may have made me ov early..
and actually only my nipps are paining, not the whole thing
pinkie, hopefully the stabbing lower abs pain are a good sign..

Dungungirl! nice to see you here..how r u ? how many months pregnant r u?

Hey Pinkie, Well you never know you may have Ov later and not due to next week. Hopefully the stabbing pains and then nothing is good sign.

I'm not looking forward to symptoms either but we can comfort each other. Bless us.

I'm off in a min to pick up DD thank god my work day is nearly over.

Speak soon Lots of baby dust and luck to you.

hey ray

mine can range from cd26-cd34 but that was ages ago.

i also get stabbibg pains in lower pelvis and think AF is coming and then nothing, not holding my breath though.

you know what last month only knew what everyone else was telling me about the clomid , now really not looking forward to the symptoms

got to go to a meeting.

lots of baby dust

Hey pinkie didnt use any this month as i do feel it when OV so thought would just go with the flow. But if it hasnt worked this month will do OPK next month. I also have CBFM but will probably just go for the digital CB shop brought one that gives happy face. I dont see why it shouldn't work its all the same hormones.

Are you normally CD28. When i read the leaflet it said clomid can lengthen cycle so be prepared to have a longer LP so may not get AF when normally expected. If i dont get AF next weds will wait another week and then think about doing BF. although i hate BFs just dont like doing them.
Have funny pains today very low in pelvis and like stabbing pains V strange dont normally have these. Perhaps a good sign

hey ray81

which opks have you used with the clomid as before i was using cbfm and they say it doesnt work with clomid tried not to obsess this month and didnt use any. That'll teach me probably missed those important days
no af yet
lots of baby dust

Hey Pinkie,

Im on CD27 so we are only one day apart. You never know though even though you had BFN it may just be too early i'm still hoping for you. I think i ov CD17 this month so wont be due til nest when LP is 16 days i'm sure of it.

If it doesnt work for me this month i think am going to join you and try every other day til end of month, i'm also going to get Ov tests to make sure its working and so we know exactly when its happening at least then we can give it best shot.

Kepp me updated.

Baby dust to you Tons of it he he.

hey ray81

i am on cd28 today and i couldnt help myself for doing an early pg test BFN never mind guess not my month although AF not here yet am sure it will be.

Hope you get good news.

Am going to try every other day from day 8 through to end of month next cycle.

Lots of baby dust to you
