Twiglett, clomid made me v. emotional, the same goes for a friend of mine, she said she cried at the slightest thing. It's all that messing with hormones.

Hi Twiglett, hope you enjoyed last night! We saved it until the morning! (fell asleep b4 actually). Well, sorry to be graphic but this morning had gallons of CM. Never seen that much b4. On day 12 now so v hopeful that the clomid is doing its job. Are you temping? Mine is still low, and has been all time since clomid, when b4 its always been quite consistently high throughout the whole month. Hoping for a rise tomorrow which means i ov. Doing OPK this afternoon and fingers crossed; all the signs are there.
Any luck with your OPK yet???

twiglett,

all the best for this cycle - I assume that you are surging!
As for my own experience, I was originally prescribed 100 mg Clomid for 3 months with the requirement to be monitored by scans and blood tests for at least one month. As it happens I was monitored during the first month, didn't ovulate, was put up to 150mg for 2nd month and continued to be monitored - still didn't ovulate, so consultant told me to stop taking it. However at my hopsital it was pretty much standard treatment to put everyone on clomid to start with whilst other investigations were carried out (subject to a satisfactory sperm analysis). They claimed that 50% of their patients conceived whilst on clomid for 6 months - the other 50 having to go on to other treatments.

Good luck with this cycle.

bunny2 · 21/08/2003 21:27

Keep at it ladies, it does work. I have been trying to get pg for over 18 months and 2nd clomid cycle BINGO! IMO it's a wonder drug, keep weeing on your sticks and keep shagging, you'll get there .

Hi twiglett, i am now on day 11 of cycle, first time on clomid. not sure its working for me either, although i know its still early days. dont worry. it may be that you are not stimulated enough and will need to have a higher dose. i really think we should be given scans whilst on this do you? my cons said not to worry about them for a couple of months, but all the books i've read says its really important so that we;re not over or understimulated necessarily. and considering we only get about 6 tries we ought to be getting it right from the start. oh, i am just so fed up. Sorry - supposed to be helping you, but want you to know that i know how you feel.
Have read Bunny's news though so thats great isn't it? very postive. She ov on day 12. But we are all different. when did you start testing?

Twiglett, Bunny2, thanks for the feedback. I will now be able to talk to my friend without 'interrogating' her!

It's 30 days since I started my last Clomid cycle. Still no AF but 2 neg pg tests. How long should a cycle be on Clomid? I am still unsure.

Aloha, as far as I can understands, Clomid is prescribed for women who do ovulate but do so irregularly. Does your friend fit into this category?
