***TAKING CLOMID FOR THE FIRST TIME - PART 2***

Omg i just got a letter from the hospital saying we have reached the top of the iui/ivf waiting list. am in shock its only been 6 months, was told 12 months by one hosp n 3yrs by first hosp was referred to. Me n DH very excited but trying not to get our hopes up to much. got to go for our first appointment on 25th feb then stat treatment at second appointment.
Only 3 months into clomid so may say can we wait n give that the 6 months but the am i wasting my time? hummmm need a long think n some discussion with DH me thinks.

hope everyone else is ok.
Hows things georgie? got a scan app yet?

Hey Valz

Congrats on your pregnancy, so your 8 weeks 2 weeks in front of me... its a nightmare, I dont get ill in the morning i feel like crap in the evening..... Never had this before...How have you been feeling???

hi ladies, havent been on this thread for a while, just thought id update, im now 8 weeks pregnant from my first cycle of clomid so it proves it definately works

lauralou glad to hear all is going well with your pg, keep us posted.

georgie congrats to you, i know what you mean about the wait til the 8-12 weeks, it does seem like a lifetime.

sarashy sorry to hear you havent been feeling well, but you never know, fingers crossed for you.

Yeah i did it again cd 19 i followed it down to the tee, but i didnt do any ovulation tests.... dont forget i did it from day 10 then day 12 14 15 16 17 skipped day 18 then again on day 19 and had it again i think on day 21.....

Good luck sarahshy.... xxxxx

good morning ladies,
just been re-reading the 'sperm meets egg plan' as af arrived this morning 2 days early, blooming typical (but at least now know asthma drugs havent effect baby if i had concieved). dont feel as down about it all this month for some reason. But have decided to take double clomid this month and try the plan again. just wondered about a bit of it. it says

'When test is positive, "try" that night, plus two additional nights in a row
Skip one night, then do one last "try" '

One last try, so does that mean after cd18 we shouldn't bd? can't really see dh going for that idea.

Anyone else tried this plan? I know you did georgie what did you do?

hi dungungirl

i have been wondering were you are how are you ?

i am fine hunni apart from constant heartburn i am the same as you i look about 30 weeks pregnant not 23 i cant believe how quick it is all going

the sonographer in the hospital said she thinks its a girl but thats not enough for dh so we have an appointment with babybond to get a 4d gender scan just to put his mind at rest but i no its a little girl

but never mind thats men for you lol........

have you thought of a name yet ?

take care lots and lots of love lauralou and bump xxxxxxxx

lol just read my post yesterday. ment to say angel not angle! why would we want angle's.
this clomids affecting my brain i think.

hey georgie, how did it go with the midwife? hope u got the reassurance you needed. Im going to take ur advice on taking at different time of day as i usually take it before bed as i heard it was supposed to reduce side effects, but not had many so nothing ventured and all that. May also take the 2 aswell will see how i feel. Decided to look for a new job so hopefully that will take my mind off ttc.
heres hoping 2009 brings us all a little angle.

Hi girlies

I hope you all had a great xmas and new year

Big congrats to Georgie its nice to have another BFP as send positive vibes out to all of us who are feeling down and negative. Havent been on for a while as no longer on clomid but check up on the goss every now and again. I have got my HSG next week which im dreading and also means I have had to use contraception this month which feels wrong considering meant to be ttc. I also had abnormal results from my smear in Dec so also got a colposcopy week after. Im just hoping they sort me out and I get a bfp this year. Im 32 in March and have no dc yet and feel like time is slipping away.

Anyway I hope 2009 brings you all the BFPs you deserve. Good luck

Blimey my spelling is horrendous.... sorry!!!!

Hi sarashy

I got the midwife calling me tommorrow so i will see what she says...

My last pregnancy i had no complications so they dont seem to worry about peace of mind for you... but i am going to ask.... I would defo try the 2 tablets, i didnt take mine same time everyday which alot of people seem too i took my after 11am but no later than 3pm (im not sure if it makes a difference)

Anyways you are the same as me then 3 months in to taking clomid... i know what i would do... i could always send you my tablets if they dont agree...but if your not thinking about every 2 mins too i think that helps....

Good luck peeps.... big hsndful of babydust to you all.... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi pinkie, i asked the drs but at the time i was a little too ill really, all they could say was if i didnt have them id die so benefit outway the risk. Bit of a wasted month on clomid really but unfortunatly i wasnt ill when i started this month lol!!

Georgie, i followed that plan last month unfortunatly didnt work for me. Not done it this month but will be trying it again next month if not got caught. I thought about taking double dose n then telling hospital i lost some for the final month? See my boobs always get sore around af time anyway so not a good indicator for me.
Will they not do a scan or something sooner, knowing how long you been trying?

hi all
happy new year to you all
congratulations georgie i am so happy for you

alot of you are sounding really down about this clomid just try and keep your head up i no its hard been there to and now am 23 weeks and having a little girl
i wish you all the luck in the world

baby dust to you all

love lauralou

Hi Guys,

Well i suppose in some respect i did alot of things differently, 1st i doubled the dose, 2nd i followed the sperm meets egg rule, thing and had sex every other day from day 8..... I didnt do any ov tests but when i got to day 14 i had sex 3 days solid then missed a day and on day 19 i did it again...

Three tests ive done, just done another now, i had my period on the 1st December, and the other thing that was dofferent for me was i took the clomid a week later....

So if i write it down its completely different to my usual however this was my 3rd month....

I new i was as my boobs were sooooooo painful to touch and i came over queer in tescos where i had to sit down my poor little boy didnt know what was happening....

All i can say is i was really negative and it was the ladies on here that made me determined...

Thank you guys.... its still early days though and im trying to remain positive but until i get to the 8-12 week check i wont be satisfied...

Sorry you not been well sarashy

Did you ask the docs about the interaction of asthma meds and the clomid.

Congrats Georgie

hi all, Hope everybody had a good christmas and new yr. I on the other hand had the worst ever, ive been in hospital with my asthma. Had a massive attack, my only worry now is the effect all the steroids and other drugs on either the clomid or on the slim chance we have concieved the baby. Well im on cd 24 so we'll soon know one way or the other. It sure has given me something else to think about anyway. 2month on clomid not very hopeful it will work.

Congratulations Georgie, share all. what cycle? do anything different?

My next app is early Feb - been rearranged twice; should have been next week.

I had Asherman's Syndrome follwoing a c section with my DD. This is adhesions on the uterus. Can cause infertility. Had 3 monir ops and 2 lots of high dose HRT and progesterone following each. Then Clomid to get things back on track a few months later. Been TTc over 4 years fnow for #2. DD took a while (15m, early mc then 15m again) but nothing like this.

Neither of us have any problems according to tests.

Hi hulababy i am on my 6th month now and am not very hopeful. I have my next hospital appointment on 3rd feb, so should find out what happens next then.

Have you got your next appointment?? If you dont mind me askin whay are you on clomid??
I wasnt ovulating properly!!
The clomid made me ov but unfortunately no BFP

Congratulations Georgie

Well, my 6 months are up and over. Didn't work. Not sure what comes next.

Congratulations georgie !!!!! What CD are you on and how many tests have you done?? I dont thing PG tests can be wrong!!

Sorry i know im not usually on this thread but i watch it all the time as I am on clomid too!!
I am on my last month though and am losing hope fast!!

Did u do anything different this month, any tips???!!!!

Oh my god... where is everyone?????????????????????????????

Oh my god i just got a BFP fuck!!!!! sorry oh my god oh my god..... can it be wrong...... shit.... i was the most negative person EVER!!!!!!

ITS GOTTA BE WRONG.......

lauralou

Ive been thinking the same thing.

I hope you had a good break.

My updated news is that i see the specialist on 12th Jan so not long and get results 2 weeks later.

Have managed to get gynae to give me another months supply of clomid so not twiddling thumbs while waiting for tests etc. Apparently it has no effect on their tests. NOt holdng out much hope for this month though.

Where are you up to ?

OMG were is everybody
