Hi all,

CBear - I am sorry to hear what's happened. The tests will certainly be very helpful to you, I'm sure and you may be offered a more suitable solution. I think you can take clomid again, my friend has 2 clomid babies. I think you just have to have a break between six month periods of taking it (I hope that makes sense!) I am thinking of you, and hope you get some answers with your tests. I have also heard of people who get pregnant when they come off clomid, it seems to kick start things in some cases.

Hang in there, sending love and hugs

Clairebear

There are also the people who get pg the month after stop the clomid. So keep your chin up, you never know that might me you.

Good luck with all those tests

Hi

Nandos - It was my gp who put me on clomid and now I have been referred my specialist couldnt believe I had been prescribed them before any tests had been done. So Im doing it all back to front really. I have had ext and int scan ( waiting for results ) then gotta have lap & dye next month and bloods so hopefully have more info soon.
Im glad they are finally looking into the problem but I think there is only a certain amount of months you can have clomid??
Not sure what the next step is gonns be but ill stay on the thread and let you know.

Im sure you will all be lucky on the tabs so keep it going even if the side effects can be rough at times. The months go so quickly and you wont forgive yourself if you come off them as you will never know

LUCK to all xxxxx

clairebear ->> (HUGSS)
so sorry to hear it didnt work. did the consultant told u what to do next after clomid? i wish u all the best and do update us with your progress..
ray 81, good luck i cant remember the last time me n dh did more than once a day lol..re hibernate is also good, i am doing it as well lol.
dungungirl, cam75, hope you girls are doing well..thinking of you
am on CD7 today and yeah its a long way to go so am off to hibernation mode now

Oh Clairebear,

I'm so sorry it didnt work for you good luck with all the tests i hope they figure out whats happening and are able to help you.

I'm on CD17 and have just Ov have been Bding everyday for 3 days twice a day if that doesnt do it i dont know what will.
Just the 16dw now as my LF is 16 days not sure how i am going to cope with it this month. I may just hibernate i think you never knwo it may work.

hi all

Im out of the running as AF arrived this morning after 31 days when its normally 27 days. I think it done it just to break my heart. Yesterday I had slight pinkness and had convinced myself it could be implantation but then in full swing today. It was my last month on clomid so thats why I wanted it so much. I have been so positive for the last 5 months when AF arrived I just dusted myself off and said there is always next month. This month im devastated
I will now have to go through all the proper tests to find out whats wrong so hopefully by xmas I will know and something can be done.

take care all and im wishing you all luck

Dungungirl lauralou,

yes everything is fine with dp sperm it is just me and the ovualting thing and the clomid is working just waiting for the lazy sperm!!!!
I think i have been ovualting with the double dose of the clomid!!! I am hopefully and just going with the flow and trying not to get down. I feel like a pin cushion it is also helping with the weight lose lol!!!!!!!
I am good thanks ladies for the shout out!!! xxxxx

Hi all,

CBear - fingers (and everything else for that matter) crossed!! You are so good waiting for that long to test!! It is nice to know it's working. I had such terrible mood swings, not sure if I can carry on with it if it doesn't work this month. Not fair on everyone else I live with!!

Ray - I am 1 of 5 and also didn't want my DS to be and only child. We have been trying for 18 months, it was discovered that I wasn't ovulating at all. Prob is my DS is 11 and if we don't hurry up, he'll have moved out my the time it sorts itself out!!

Best wishes to all

Hi

Great news on the + opk Ray just keep at it the next few days and that should keep all angles covered
Glad the clomid is working for you Vics just at least you can relax a little if you know its working. I wasnt monitored at all so dont know if it worked or not.

Still no sign of AF as yet but also dont feel any different so not holding my breath yet. If its not here by Thurs Ill do a test i think, but im sure there will be no need as she is probably just playing with me

Baby dust to all xxxxx

hi cam

it is so good to hear from i was a bit worried

i was wondering have you been ovulating the last 5 months on clomid ? i cant remember

if so do you think it could be your partners sperm ?

i am ok hunni am 13 weeks now but still doesnt feel real as cant feel anything except sickness and midwife said i am really anemic so that would be why im so tired but they cant give me iron till am 16 weeks its such a pain

so how is work and everything at home you coping alright

take care see you soon am praying for you still love lauralouxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Vic,

Thats great newa that the clomid has worked, where are you in your cycle now? keeping fingers crossed for you.

I agree with you thats its more difficult to cope with AF arriving after you know that you have OV, it makes you think 'why not me'.

My DD is 6 nearly 7 and we have been trying since she was 2, i wanted to have children close together, not going to happen now. One of my big things is that i dont want her to be an OC, i come from a big family am 1 of 9 and my mum was the same i couldnt imagine not having Brothers and sisters around me and i dont want DD to have that, although my youngest sister is 8 so close in age to DD they are very much like sisters so at leaast she will have her if i never fall.
How about you how long have you been trying?

Hi everybody,

Scan yesterday showed clomid has worked on first month. I was quite surprised! It will make the terrible mood swings and tummy cramps a bit easier to bare knowing that it does something.

Ray - I understand where you are coming from, sometimes it feels like it will never happen, but our time will come I am sure of it. How old is your DD? My DS is 11 next week! How time flies.

CBear - Any sign yet? Am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Peju - I am just bracing myself for the disappointment this month. It somehow seems more difficult knowing that Clomid has worked and if still no little blue line, I know I will find that so hard.

Positive thoughts to everyone!

Hey Pinkie,

It is quite exciing when you get that +ive, just a shame we cant have another at the end of the month gauranteed too. watch this space ay!!!!

I'm feeling +ive about the clomid but not about falling, i have this ' its not ever going to happen' thing in my head at the mo, i think perhaps i'm trying to set myself up for the fall that will come at the end of the month or at least i'm convinced will come.
I have DD and cant ever imagine not being pg ever again but that seems more likely the longer this goes on i really dont want to get to 5 years i think i may have to give up if i get to that point and just accept i'm not meant to have anymore.

Oh arent i a happy bunny today !!! dont know where this negativity has come from just thinking on the balance of probablities if it hasnt happened now surely it never will. Must pull myself together maybe a slap around the face will do it he he

Hi Ray

Isnt it great when you get that +ive. I felt really positive about the clomid when that happened. Even though last months blood test showed that it was its nice to see it.

( and hopefully following the "plan" will really help us)

Hi Guys,

Got my +ive on the OPKs this morn so alittle earlier than i was expecting so means Ov tomorrow or thurs am going to BD everyday 2 times a day. We did this morn!!! shattered now can wait to see how i feel after 5 days of this !!!!

Please Please please let this work i so need it to i dont think can cope with this much longer.

hi all

Glad everyone is well
AF is due today but no sign as yet which is a little weird as normally arrives a day early. You never know, im hopeful but also ready for it to arrive any minute. I dont feel any different apart from feeling queasy for the last week ( i think thats in my mind though )ill keep you all posted.

good luck all

Well im onto round 3 on the clomid the OB got me on Friday .
Am dissapointed as was really hoping this was my month - guess you cant tell with symptoms whilst on clomid as mine have been different each month
At least i know from blood test it is working so fingers crossed round 3 will be my lucky round!!
Babydust to all of you!!

hi lauralou and everyone else who knows me........ i have been busy with work and everything else.
i have finished my cycle 5 of clomid just having lots of sex i feel like a machine so hopefully should get a result soon. I have been to see my consultant last wednesday to talk of options what will happen next if no luck on clomid, i have a further appoinment in the new year. He suggestes ivf which i have been there before and it neva worked plus i have not go the funds to do it. ICI too? not sure about how that works?
I suggested to him ovarian drilling if my problem is ovualating then it should be ok? i would rather try that then if all esle fails do the ivf or something..
I am glad the hot flushes are over it has been really bad.
Still got one more cycle to go if all else fails. Oh and he also said i need to lose more weight?? i am on the metformin which is helping and i am glad he says i need to get do to 84kilos!!! hello xmas sweets and chocolates?? i am going to try but at the same time i am not going to kill myself over it.

how is ure bump lauralou? everything ok with you?

Hi Attila,

Me and DH have had all the tests you mentioned and nothing is abnormal at all, its driving me mad i'm almost convinced that there is something thats causing this "unexplained infertility" but they just cant find it and are just fobbing me off. I feel with DD so easily and was one of those smug people that thought it would happen like that the first time Oh how wrong i was.

Pinkie,

Good luck with the 2ww, i know its hard but try not to do your own head in ( wish i could take my own advise) I am realy keeping my fingers crossed for you i so hope this is your month.
I'm on CD 13 and no +ive yet on the opks but sure its not due until CD17 anyway thats what it was last month, have been Bding every other day and will follow the plan when i do get +ive which should be fri, it will work out quite well as DD is away this weekend and we will have lots of time for eachother. i was thinking over the 3 days may try different times in the day, maybe morning the first day, afternoon the second and evening the third, do you think it would hurt to Bd more than once a day? you never know i may find the energy from somewhere. he he. If it doesnt work this month think i may just go alittle crazy!! there is a hting called Fertility Aid and my cousin who was trying for 8 yrs brought it and after 3 months she was PG, she said that was the only thing she did differently so i may give it a try if it doenst happen this month you never know may be that one thing that helps.

Sarashy, good luck with the clomid i hope it works for you, word of warning the hot flushes take abit of getting used to and i have suffered from realy bad headaches in fact have got migrane today, just managing to cope with it luckily dosed up with painkillers and hoping it will pass soon. Just be prepared for some side effects. The only way i get through it is to think at least the side effects show its working!!!

Nandos, welcome back for the second month, so sorry it didnt work for you. fingers crossed it will work this month. Look up the Sperm meets egg plan seems to have a bit of science to it and makes you feel like you are doing something +ive.

Well i'm off heads bad so can look at screen anylonger. Will log back it later to catch up. Baby dust to you all.
