hi numpty1972,
i just finished yesterday, i feel extremeley tired and sleep on the bus, at my desk at lunch times. I had bad af cramping but other than that nothing else....

numpty1972 · 20/08/2008 10:57

ok ive finished the second course of clomid and i feel so sick with bad headaches every day,and don't get me started on the weight gain and spots!! is anyone else getting these probs?

websicle · 19/08/2008 16:28

Hello Ladies! Anyone mind if I join? I've been watching this thread for a wee while because I have been prescribed clomid and am about to start my 3rd cycle. I wasn't ovulating and that's why the GP prescribed it and my Day 21 results from cycle 2 showed that by progesterone results were 56, which I think are ok. No pg yet though! We started TTC 2 years ago in Sept - gets very depressing.
Looking forward to lots of us having success stories on here... nothing stopping us now!!

cam75 · 19/08/2008 14:16

babymadness,

I am on clomid cycle 4 but now i am 100mg as i aske the nurse to up it as i felt nothing was happening.
I took the last tablet today hot flushes are killing me like crazy. Yes you are right from day 11-15 are the days to get some loving!!!! IT's like we have been ttc for the same amount of time apart from i have had pcos for 10years.

You could be one of the lucky ones and get pg the first time.

fingers crossed for you xxx

cam75 · 19/08/2008 14:11

dungungirl,

i am off from my part time job in the eveing for 2 weeks so i am going for it.
I think my problem was i don't think i was having enough sex so i am this week and next week. I can't help but feel extremely tired these clomid tablets are taking it out of me...
I am glad you are swell and it is all going well. I pray for your little bump to grow healthy, happy and wanted so much...

babymadness · 19/08/2008 13:50

Hi...i'm new to this site but I could do with some opinions....I have just taken my last clomid tablet (days 2 to 6)...its my first cycle of this.I am due to go for a scan on day 14 to check if there are folicles....but here is my question....my fertile window is from day 11 to day 15 so i'm gonna be busy between those days.doesn't this mean that theoretically I could get pregnant within this time....which is before the scan date?.what if the scan showed too many folicles? Its too late to say don't get busy then isn't it? if its all been successful..couldn't I already have caught??..help! I have been trying for 5 years with no help but recently found out I have pcos... So am keeping fingers crossed for clomid I guess! I think u've been patient but i'm now just sad ..Thanks

DungunGirl · 19/08/2008 13:32

Hi Cam75

I am ok thanks. Started getting mild nausea - lovely. So fingers crossed it is a good sign that things are as they should be. I am 6 and a half weeks now. Can't wait till I hit 7 weeks on Saturday because then I will have passed the point I miscarried in March.

Keep faith cam75! So many ladies on here claimed that the first 3 months the body is still adjusting to clomid anyway.
I will keep praying for you!

Also, I am convinced that daily sex with DH from days 12-25 was the winning formula for me! It was the first time we tried a marathon of everyday and it worked. Before that we were doing it every other day and obviously kept missing an egg when there was one!

hi cam, i know what you mean, my fiance just seems so calm about it yet he say's it what he really wants! it was to begin with his idea!!! he has high count but slightly low motility, been giving him selenium, think i upset him yesturday when he arranged to go out for a drink with his mate tho cos i asked hi not to drink as it would affect our chances, god i never thought getting pg would be this hard!!!!! hope it happens soon im not getting ay younger and before long it will be too late for me. x

cam75 · 18/08/2008 15:35

hi ladies,
hope everyone is good.
I have one more day of the clomid 100mg!!!
i have the worst hot flushes ever!!!!!
I was wondering i don't think i have been having alot of sex?? strange but true, i was thinking is there a certain postion? i have heard that missionary is suppose to be good or doggy style is suppose to be good as you are at an angle? as it helps the swimmers. I have even tried to lie down with my legs in the air?????
The nurse told me see wants to see me friday as she has upped the dosage so she wants to make sure everything is ok. She says that i should only have it when she says as the risk of twins are a possablity????? I am getting anxious now as there is only 2 more cycles left??? i hope it works and i am going to put in over time this week:O

Why is it that my man is so calm about this??? I need to get preggers soon.........................................

Vix67 · 16/08/2008 13:22

numpty1972 · 13/08/2008 15:19

thanks for your kind words, now that the clomid has changed my cycle to midweek it gonna be really difficult ttc as my partner works nights and we only really spend quality time together at weekends!!. i work days this is gonna be fun!! is it really true that mornings are better?? hopefully mornings are just better for the woman cos my morrnings are like his evenings! just wish i knew why it wasn't happening, oh well guess i should just keep trying, hopefully the clomid will work this month.

cam75 · 13/08/2008 14:04

laraulou

thank you, i have found away of blocking it out and it does help some times.. I am trying to be busy and not think about what is happening down there!!!
If i do get blessed with twins you can have one!!!!!

ChoChoSan · 13/08/2008 13:56

Just got back from holiday to see Dungungirl had a BFP...congratulations DGG - I often see your threads on here, so it's good to see you have had a positive outcome!

I am on CD12 of my 5th Clomid cycle, with only 1 cycle left. So far I have just done 50mg/day, but I think I will up it to 100mg next month, as my GP overprescribed, so I have about 25 tabs left. Fingers crossed it will work out, never thought it would be like this trying to get pregnant!
