Hey Lauren

Im alright, Going to cardiff tomorrow with my partner for a couple of days, Cant wait to just relax,

No my consultant doesnt no that iv started taking clomid again coz she said to wait untill i come on naturally but i started taking it the day i had my D and C so it acted the same as having a period and starting it then, Think i ovulated on Wednesday ish so ill ring my consultant when i come on in a few weeks so ill get scanned next month, Think it should be about 6 weeks from D and C to first period so should be due on in about 3 weeks,

Where about on your cycle are you? XX

Hey jen welcome hope u get all the advice u need on here, the girls r really nice and help u out as much as poss, hope thursday goes well for u.

hope every1 else is well

Hi Ttcvee

Welcome, Dont be nervous about starting clomid you will be fine, I am on my 5th month and it has just become apart of my life, Its normal now,

You will start on 50mg and they will most likely scan you around day 15ish and you will probably have day 21 bloods done aswell but everyone is different but thats what happens to me, If you do get scaned on your first month and you have ovulated they probably wont scan you the next month ( Thats if you dont fall pregnant) but if you havent ovulated they might keep you on the same dose and see how you get on, It can sometimes take a couple of months for your body to start reacting to the clomid, If you still dont ovulate after a couple of months they will increase your dose (im on 200mg) You may suffer some side effects ( Headaches, Sickness, Tiredness, feeling a bit misrable) Everyone on here gets some of those but its very rare to get them all,

Like yourself not many people no my partner and i are ttc so it can be very hard sometimes but we are always here for you when you feel like a moan, Remember we are or have been through the same thing. XX

Hi jen
They scan on cd 10 to see if you have ripe folicles which hopefully you will this in turn should mean you will ovulate, I didnt get scanned but got bloods done on cd21 to tell me if I had ov'd

Hiya ttcvee its a nightmare when you odnt know whats going on. We have been ttc since last April but when I stopped the pill I never took any periods, this was very strange for me as I have never missed except when I had DS (who is now 10) this made the doc check my bloods and he sent me for an internal scan, this proved I had polycystic ovary syndrome and I was given clomid. Try not to worry when taking it I had mood swings and hot flushes unfortunately for me I only ov'd once on it so I am now going for an echovist scan, kind of like the xray you got. Some clinics dont offer monitoring depending on circumstances and post code I got bloods done on cd 21. 28 and 35. Hope this helps a bit

Hey clwc, Claire hopeful and lauren how are you all? Any news? Hope your all well xxx

Hi Folks

I'm a newbie and found this forum the other day - I have so many questions......... and thought after reading some of the posts on here you guys sound more knowledgeable than my GP etc!

I'm 35 (36 in Sept) and have been TTC for 2yrs now. Own GP did 21 day progesterone day test and said it was fine but would refer me to infertility clinic. So went there, they said the reading was only 27 and asked me to get another test done as it should be 30 Then on Thur past they had me in for the xray with the dye thru my tubes - it was absolutely agony - I screamed with the pain. But was told my tubes are fine but the doc says I am definitely not ovulating, this time the 21-day test came back with 25 as a result :-( So in 2 weeks time I have another appt to see Infertility Nurse and she is going to give me Clomid - they weren't very keen to give me it though as I am in the "obese" category, although I have lost 7lbs in the last 2 weeks - so they relented since I am trying. They are also going to refer me for IVF but that could take another 2 years!
My partner's sperm count came back fine - apparently he has 565million fast swimmers so it's all down to me not ovulating!! Quite strange though really considering I have get pain mid cycle every month and my GP told me years ago that was just ovulation pain. However, can't tell you how much we wasted on the Ovul sticks and never got a positive reading.

Does anyone have any advice for me? Is there anything you think I should be doing to help? Am nervous about taking Clomid - do they monitor/scan everyone or does it depend on you health board? Sorry for the massive post, it's just getting me down - found out yesterday my little cousin gave birth to a beautiful wee girl and my sisterinlaw is due in 6 weeks time. No-one even knows we are trying, never mind having problems so I have no-one other than partner to talk to about it.

CLWC

Yeah its defo a learning experience, my scan has been put back until monday of next week now, what do they do on them? Is it just to check that you are actually ovulating? Its really wierd every time I take the Clomid tablets I think that I will get pregnant! I need to get that thought out of my head haha!! Have a good day everyone.

Jen x x

Hi Stac,

Yeah your defo right, I have found out more off you lot than anybody else its great! I try not to get disheartened but sometimes just think the worst! I need to be more positive haha! I'd be so happy if I was ovulating when I get the scan next week at least I know the Clomid would be working. Hope you've all had a good day! its beltin' down with rain here x x

Hi Milly,

How lucky is that falling pregnant with twins on your second time, bet you were so happy, it gives me hope as well that the medication does actually work. Hope you have the same look this time! x

hi girls hows everone this is my second time on clomid i fell preg with twins on the second month of tablets they are 2 years old now boy and the girl. but my doctor told me not to get my hopes up this time because it might not happening that fast this time am nervous but i have my fingers time

Hey Ladies

busy on here today lol, af finally finished yay lol

How are you all?

claire has the pains eased up any now? I'm sure its just oving and nothing else

clwc my friend has just qualified as an OT and absolutely loves it as I'm sure you will.

jen I knew absolutely nothing until I started using these threads, the ladies are great so anything you want to know just ask, as you will have read we are quite open and honest lol dont be disheartened ttc is so daunting especially in our cases

lauren hows things with you?

Anyone else I have missed hi!! xxx

Hi Claire,

I'm 29 and in the RAF, which is a good thing because through the RAF they give you 3 chances at IVF for free before the age of 35 but I hope it doesn't come to that. I really expect not to be ovulating yet and I'm not gonna get my hopes up, I'm on 50mg at the mo and from what i've read it seems better to be on a lower dose for some strange reason!! x x x

Hi CLWC

Thanks for the info on met. you know so much more about the condition than I do, im glad I've found you lot, its really cool to talk to people in the same position as me thanks a lot for listening. x x x

Hi Jen

I didnt ovulate the first 2 cycles so dont be suprised or dishartened if you dont its quite normal not to, If you dont then your consultant will put you on a higher dose, What are you on now, 50mg? how old are you if you dont mind me asking? XX

Hi Claire,

Its so nice to speak to people who are in the same position as I am, and I'm really sorry to hear you had a miscarriage I cant even begin to imagine how awful that must be especially after everything we have to go through to get pregnant in the first place. I really hope things work out for you. I have my first scan next thursday to see if im ovulating, im not hoping for much right now as its very early days, it will be good to see if i am or not though. Any more info you have would be greatly appreciated, when I went to the fertility nurse the first time she said I coudl skip Clomid and go straight to having a Laparoscopy to make my tubes are ok, but i decided to try Clomid first I'm on this for 6 months then go onto injections if Clomid doesn't work. I keep seeing stuff about Metformin do u know what this is as its never been mentioned to me? Hope things get better for u Claire and soon

Jen x x x x

Hi Jennifer

Everyone feels like that at some point so your not alone and were always here to listern to you let of steam, i to have got pcos and endometriosis.

Clomid does work, I fell pregnant on my 4th go but sadly had a missed miscarriage so i have started clomid again and think im ovulating at the moment so fingers crossed, Are you having bloods done aswell?

Hey Stac

Iv still got pains today and they were really bad yesterday but hoping its ovulation pains and nothing else, I bet your getting excited about your appointment rnt you?

Clwc How are you? XX

Hi STAC and CLWC i was diagnosed with PCOS in April of this year after trying for a year to get pregnant I was absolutely gutted!! I'm now on my 2nd month of Clomid and am getting my first scan next thursday to see if I'm ovulating or not!! This website is really refreshing because to be honest I'm feeling a bit down about it all at the mo and really cant see any light at the end of the tunnel! I suppose everyone feels like that at some point though, and plus its all still quite raw with me as I've only just found out I have PCOS. Sorry to be soo depressin think i'm just having an off week, I cant wait for the scan next thurs at least then ill know if im ovulating or not!

Jen x

Hi jennifer welcome to the thread, I also have pcos its a nightmare. How are you finding the clomid?

Hey lauren you dont always get ovulation pains, how long have you been on clomid altogether? I was on it 5 cycles but only ov'd once so I pressed the consultant due to the fact it obviously wasnt working which is why he has moved me onto the scan then new treatment. Maybe you should query if not preggers this month, but have fingers crossed you are hun

clwc I have had loads of interviews, or so it seems lol one was for college the rest was for jobs, but got the college/uni course so I am chuffed.

Hey claire hows things did the ov pains die down?

Hope your well hopefull

xxxbaby dust to allxxx

hi everyone,

Im really new to all this, just started Clomid cycle 2 and am hoping that this month will be the month I have PCOS and have a scan next thursday, its inspirational to see all your comments
