Hi Girls

Its such a shame that alot of us dont get monitored and are left to get on with it.
Im taking 3rd round of 50mg clomid on day 2-5 and as my cycles are pretty regular about 27-29 days im going for it every other day from day 12-20. Its hard to find time though as they say mornings are best but not very romantic when you have to leave early for work anyway lol.
oh well we will keep positive ( which is very hard ) and good luck to all

numpty1972 i have jsut finished my course and all my doc said was to ring on the first day of my next period to have a scan..... nothin about blood tests...... havent really been given much advice when i think about it

do i start taking the clomid again 2moz, i was told by specialist to take clomid on day 2 for 5 days. i havent been monitered whilst on it, i thought i was supposed to have scan and bloodtest?! i don't know what to do and can't get in touch with the specialist that prescribed them to me.

Hi girls.... im new to all this. Have just finished my forst lot os clomid tablets and just wantin to know how every coped with it. I ve had headaches but thats it.... worried they might not have worked but i have a long 6 weeks ahead to wait for my next due period. I was diagnoised with multiple cysts on both my ovaries but the doc seems to think i should get pregnant on these tablets? Some advice would be great xxx

looks like it game over! i raelly thought i could be pregnant, my boobs are so sore, more so than usual before period, can't stop going to pee, and ive been feeling really sick in mornings and evenings, but got up this morning and i got some bleeding on tisue everytime i pee. this last 3 years have been so long ttc! i just feel so hopeless now, and he really wants a child of his own, i don't know how much longer i can handle all this dissappointment. thanks for the advice dungungirl.

hi cam
am here hunny you missed me lol
i havent been on for a while just been trying to relax ....

i feel really sick this last 2/3 days and so tired and my boobs are bloody killing me lol

went for my blood tests today so find out if i ov on friday so will let you no

i am starting to feel the same as you like it is never going to happen they said if i dont ov this month they are not giving me any more which i am not happy about so i hope i have ovulated

how are things for you ?

hi, i took my first course of clomiid last month as me and my partner were having trouble getting pg! i am now 2 days late for my period and pregnancy test said negative, im not usually late for my periods, does anyone out there know if this is normal??? can clomid stop your period or give you a false negative result?? would be really gratefull to find out if anyone has any answers, thanks.

Hi
I wrote my cycle days completely wrong ! I meant to say I varie between 28 and 37 days !
I always thought you ovluated something like 14 days before your next cycle was due to start......so I guess as my cycles vary so much this could really affect when I ovulate ! I have only taken 1 cycle of Clomid so far, and didnt have any side effects, so fingers crossed !
I really hope it works..........I really feel like it won't happen for us sometimes :-( I know I need to stay positive and try my best, but its hard sometimes !

hopeitwillhappen,

i am not sure when you ovualate? there is web site that will work it out for you.
Clomid will make you ovulate chick.
Have you any side effects?
I get hot flushes and cramping.

Hi Cam75, thanks for replying :-)
My cycles in past have varied between 38 and 37 days, so what days of my cycle does this mean I might ovulate on ?
Apparantly I haven't been ovulating, but now I am on Clomid, I hope I will, so what days do you think I should try on ??
Hopefully on Clomid my cycles will become less irregular which may make it easier (hmm)

hi hopeitwillhappen,
it depends on your cycle what times you ovulate, the nurse told me to try every other day and my days are between day 10-16 from what i can recall.
From the the nurse told me every other day as it give the swimmers time replenish!!!

Hi, I am new to this site, but would really appreciate your advise.........
I have been ttc for 1.5 years now and according to tests I have had my progesterone level is low and I am not ovulating at all or infrequently. A scan showed my ovaries are OK with follicles on - so something is happening I guess !?!?
I have been prescribed low dose of clomid, and have only taken 1 cycle so far. When is the best time to 'try' ?? When are you supposed to ovulate after you have finished 5 days of clomid tablets ?
Thank you for any help you offer xx

lauralou where are you?

Dungungirl i did a test last nite and it was negative
Not sure if i told you, but with 3 cycles to go i am losing hope!!!! I called the nurse and asked her to doubled the dose of clomid so instead of 50mg i will take 100!! My nurse said she will have to scan me and keep a close eye on me as the risk is twins and stuff.
I knew aunt flo is on her way because i went out saturday nite and i was swaeting so bad it looked like i had a shower!!! my hair was wet and even though i went outside in the cool but it never helped....

We will see what happens now.. I rememnber when i had the ivf they increase my drugs and i did have 4 good eggs 3 got fertlized so i know it will be good... I have to remain faithfully now i really do.

Hi
I am still hovering around,waiting for AF to arrive so i can start my 5th cycle, this will be my last cycle on Clomid, I am doing 150mg for this last cycle, and feeling a but apprehensive, apparently it is rare for 150mg to be prescribed, has anyone else been on 150mg with any joy????

i read the article today in the daily mail about clomid and iui. The article is a joke n dosent make snese. it says they had three groups,
one doing nothing, but the obvious
one on clomid
and one iui group
it then says after 6 months there where 101 live births.
Now call me silly here but i thought you where pg for NINE months. so to me that absolutly says research is B***s.
(Maybe not allowing for printing errors but you think they'd get it right in a big national paper.)

quick note for big tree- when i bought some preseed i got 25 free pg tests with it. go on access diagnostics have them cheaper than chemists if you doing them that often.

Hi everyone..can i join in??

Started my second round of clomid today,i have 2x50mg a day cycle days 2-6. It obviously didn't work last month!so am keeping everything crossed it works this time round. Had every test going and doc thinks i've got a problem ovulating as have very irregular cycles.

Me and dh have been trying for our first for about 15 months now. Last month whilst clomid didn't work my cycle length was only 32 days,which for me is v v good so keeping positive it's doing something!

I just can't stand the waiting every month will need to remortgage the house,how many pg tests i buy and waste!!am going to be strong and will not test untill cd33if af is no show!so 32 days to go!

Good luck to everyone x

Hi Cam

we had been ttc 5 years when it all eventually happened - had some PCOS signs but not actually the cycsts also only had a 3 day LP and when ov did occur body very confused and AF arrived before hormones could show OV. All together very complicated situation but Clomid 100mg defo kicked things off 4 months at 100mg and Ov'd each month by took DH's swimmers time to figure out what to do when they found the egg!!!! Anymore questions just ask.

oopsacocnut,
how long where you ttc? do you have pcos?
knowing that you got pg with the help of clomid round 6 is good to know. I have finished cycle 3 just waiting to test???

hi lauralou,

hope you feel better honey, gosh it's madness isn't it.
I haven't been checked up since when i started the clomid... i am left to my own devices. I still call my fertilty nurse so that is it. I haven't got a clue what is going on and i take all these pains and sick feeling with a smile and pray that my bundle of joy is coming....

Hi Everyone,

This is my first time to the site. I have been ttc for 18 months. I have a period every month but spot in between. I had a laparoscopy in April and they found mild endometriosis. I also hav had blood tests to detect ovulation and am reaching 20 and 28, normal level is 30 i think??
I am now on my first month of clomid and am getting stitches in the lower part of my tummy at both sides, is this normal??

Am excited because its my first month but dont want to get my hopes up either!!!!

Any advice would be much appreciated.
