Hi TS73,
I had that on my first cycle (although yours was months ago now). Dr told me if it happened this cycle to go back!

I've started 2nd cycle today.

How did yours pan out?

Hi TS73 im on 3rd cycle this month and I havent had any bleeding other than when i should but clomid has changed my Af dramatically I went from not even being able to leave the house with flooding and pain to the lightest i have ever had so i know it can muck you around abit but if your unsure of antything phone your clinic they have always been gald to answer ant questions i have had. xxxx

Hi God damn Af came today so after crying my eyes out telling my fella im not gunna make him a daddy this month either its on with 3rd cycle of clomid and follical tracking on 17th. Why why why is life so cruel xx

hi eveyone just joined mumsnet and glad i have. We have been ttc for 13 months and after a million blood test, HCG test which was horribly painful my fella being tested and them finding nothing wrong with either of us we have been put on clomid, we are now on our 2nd cycle I have follical tracking and last month i had 2 healthy eggs and myining was nice and thick I was given and injection to make me release my eggs in the next 36 hours so we went home and had some fun but AF came and went so on to the 2nd cycle but this time it has been very diff from the 1st where it made me feel very aggitated and sick and gave me all preg symptoms poss but my AF was so light but did 2 test both neg this month I have had none of that only mild tender boobs I am due on today and as of yet no signs!!! So fingers crossed. xxxxxx

I have PCOS and have just started my first cycle of clomid. Today was my last day of taking it (day 5) but I have had some bleeding today. Does anyone know if that's a normal / common side effect? I'm only on day 8 of my cycle.... Any pointers much appreciated.

I was put on Clomid 50 mgc in Jan of this year. So far nothing has happened yet.

However over the last 2 motnhs I have rapidly gain weight with no explantion (have not go up in dress size), also I have swollen feet and ankles and a swollen belly.

Went to the hospital yesterday after phoning them the day before to explain to them what was going on and they said they wanted me for a scan tommorrow first thing. Went for the scan it did not show than anyting appeared to be wrong my right folicle was mature. Nurse suggested I go to the Docotor so have made appointment to see my Doc/

Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this and what I can to do get rid of it.

Thanks

Hi All Was wondering if any of u ladies had concieved yet as its been a while since you last wrote. Im in the same boat ttc 4 over 3 yrs on 1st round of clomid, ov on 50mg ust waitin to see if i come on Dc thought i had pcos but now decided i havent!?! Soooo wishing my journey wil be a sucessfull one soon ! best of luck girlies xx

HI

My husband and i tried to conceive naturally for 2 1/2 years without success so were advised to try clomid after founding out i had PCOS. Was on it for 6 cycles but it didn't work.

We then went to harley street fertility centre and had 3 lots of IUI but again it failed.

So we decided to try IVF and it worked! We now have a 20 week old baby , our little miracle!

I found out that the surface of my eggs were very thin allowing them to be over fertilised which led to failed pregnancies.
so we had the eggs fertilised one by one with the IVF.

So keep trying there are so many options out there !

Sam

Thanks! i will go there.

hi shm this thread seems to be quite inactive why don't you try www.mumsnet.com/talk?topicd=1366&threadid=6858008&o=1233065887646#14107710 - its called ttc - clomid - conception there are a few of us on there and you get loads of useful information and support.

By the way my specialist says there is no need to be getting internal scans think this differs from place to place, it is to see if you have enlarged follicles that turn into eggs (ovulation) but even with these scans there is no guarantee that you will go on to ovulate. hopefully see you on the other thread xx

Hello!

I have just finished my 3rd month of clomid, due to anovulation because of high prolactin levels (but my DH has problems with his little guys, so I am expecting it to take a while)

I see that lots of you are having scans to see if follicles are happening. My specialist has never mentioned scans to me, and I am wondering if I should bother him to have one done? Why do you go have them - just for interest, or is there a medical need for it?
thanks

Hello

on my 2nd month of clomid, been trying for 6 years, my sister suggested this site as she went through the same took 5 years until she had her little girl so there is a little hope that it will happen

been lucky that have had no side effects but i am wondering if clomid is working? had to have key hole surgery to remove cyst of an overie and they checked my tubes which are clear. consultant said if nothing happens after 3 months he will increase dosage of clomid possiably.

Hello!

I started clomid in Jan, no luck, and did another go early this month. AF due tomorrow but I don't think it worked again this month.

My specialist is so rubbish - he doesn't tell me anything! not even about side effects, nor the results of my various tests . So most of my medical advice I get anecdotally on here! and I follow these types of threads closely to help me understand my medication.

I wasn't ovulating at all, hadn't for a couple of years (no AF, which was very nice actually), due to high levels of prolactin which were caused by SSRI antidepressants.

Our chances of conception are not great, as my partner had a vasectomy about 8 years ago and got it reversed about a year ago, and his sperm counts aren't great. But we'll see.

hello all, well here i go again, i concieved on my second round of clomid last year, (i ovulated first time but just didnt fall pregnant), but unfortunatly we lost our little boy at 4 months in november so after a little holiday we are just about to try again.

I have pcos, and am currently on my last 2 days of northisterone (to get aunt flow started) and then on to clomid.

This time round we are not telling people we are starting treatment again, and won't tell people when im pregnant (hopefuly) untill im past four months, and so i would love to help people out and chat to people going through the same thing.

anyway i will keep an eye on the threads and try and help out as much as i can.

Good luck to all.

hi i had twins 2 years ago on clomid. they are 20 months old now. i want to try again this year. am just wondering if any one can help me will i get clomid again on the nhs? i stay in perth in scotland

Hi, I have just taken my first course of Clomid, because I have PCOS, which I only found out about once I had the mirena removed, I already have a 4 year old daughter, and cannot believe I am having so much trouble!! But was reassuring to hear Cherrybee say she thought it was the Mirena - so do I.

Has anyone been feeling ill?? My last day of taking Clomid was last friday, and I had to go home early from work yesterday and felt so ill, and spent the night throwing up!! I am still not dressed yet today, and been laying on the sofa so tired!! Is this normal??

Hi Ray81..

On Clomid again (2nd pill today 14.10.08) so hopefully fingers crossed it may work for the 2nd time...

I'll keep everything crossed for you & all x

Hi guys, I am on first moth of cliomid CD 29. I think and stress THINK i Ov on day 16 but cant b sure so wont be due until CD 33 driving me nuts.

I conceived my daughter on clomid 2 years ago & have recently been for further tests to try for our 2nd child.

The tests have come back that I am not o'ing again so i have been issued more clomid.

I took clomid for 5 days last time & had to go for a bllod test to see if my hormone level had picked up only to discover that i was infact pregnant!!!

I had a really good pregnancy with no complications.

Dear girls

I have just had a scan due to coming off the pill 13 months ago and having no periods.it appears it is PCOS. I have got to go back to see the Dr in a couple of weeks. I have had all blood work done and they were all fine it seems, so they have suggested clomid. When i go back in a couple of weeks i am sure they will ask me my decision on clomid. I don't know what to do really. I am all new to this and feel abit lost with the process and how to take clomid and which days to try in the month as i currently have no cycle. Sure these will be Q's for the Dr, but it was good to read all your comments, Good luck to you all. Any help would be well recieved!!

hiya guys tested thismorning and got a BIG FAT NEGAGTIVE so depressing havent come on either so dont know wat the clomid has done for me who knows?

Hi Ladies

Just to touch up, DH spremiogram results and I married a stud so Doctor reckons my eggs were not fertilised because it still has to get used to ovulating and kinda forgotten what to do with Sperm LOL

Hello Lovings

I had my Mirena IUD removed on the 12th October last year and ever since then have been trying.

Also with no success because i did not realise at that point we had a problem because the OBGYN said nothing.

You see my womb lining was beautiful and thick and healthy when i did my tracking a week and a half ago, both ovaries were blooming so we are still a bit puzzled as to why i started my menses as we followed the specialist advice to the T.

Waiting on the spermiogram results to see whats up with the DH.

The Clomid is a bit hectic, Im now on Day 6 of my second cycle of Clomid and I am feeling more in control but I also got the Doctor to prescribe me some mild HAPPY PILLS. They help a stack to handle the crap.

What problems re fertility do you have, is there any prognosis as yet or did your dr want you on Clomid to make everything go quicker
