I've taken my first month of 50mg Clomid ttc for 5 years with PCOS on cycle day 31 and still no period have all the symptoms of pregnancy yet a negative test! so frustrating :( have I teated to early? What symptoms did you all experience when you got preg with clomid?
Thank you x

Hi Lisasteve.
The thread you have posted on is an old and now unused one.

If you click on this link you'll meet up with people who are currently using clomid.
Hope that helps.

Hi, am new to this site, so sorry if i don't know the lingo!! I've just finished third cycle of clomid 50mg, and had my day 21 progesterone blood test done with all 3 cycles. cycle 1 was 40, 2 was 29 and 3 was 5!!! Whats that all about??? My cycles were 27 days long with 1st cycle, 28 with 2nd and i'm now on day 33 and still haven't come on!!!! Have done pregnancy test on day 32 which was negative but still can't help wondering if i am???? Has anyone else experienced anything like this or does anyone have any answers or suggestions for me?????

Right, new thread is CLOMID GANG - the new thread. Used capitals as makes it easy to spot, like this one. See you over there.

katie - it'll be 100mg. And yet more scans and blood tests to see if it's actually working. Had the invoice today for the last lot - frightening amount of money considering it hasn't actually done anything yet!

It's injections roobedo, eek, actually I'm not too worried about it. Poor you, it's shite isn't it. It could be your month you know but I understand totally and completely how you feel, it just takes over your entire being doesn't it.

I think starting a new thread would be a good idea. Would you like to do it?

So Katierocket - do you have to take clomid for IUI or is it the self-administered injections? A friend of mine found that she needed half a bottle of wine before she could inject herself the first few times (her DH couldn't face doing it - I'd have made him!)

DH has gone out for the evening. Have just finished our 3 day BD marathon (thank God) and am already feeling down about it not working AGAIN. Really feeling fed up with it all and feel that I just want it all to be over so I can think about something else for a change. Even find myself daydreaming about what I'll do with myself when no longer ttc - in my daydreams I finally get rid of my post baby little tummy and become super-svelte athlete! Oh well, a girl can dream. In reality, suspect I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst.

Think I'll have some wine and an early night. Have a good weekend all. Wish someone would have some good news or we're going to have to start a new thread as I think this one may be jinxed.

sorry to hear that lunar - what dose will you be going on to?
We went to see consultant yesterday - we've decided to give IUI a go but I'm not going to get myself all excited about it because it only has a 16% success rate - heh ho, worth a go I think.

Sorry to hear it's not working for you Lunarsea, I hope the increased dose does the trick without any ill effects.

Well it's official, bloodtests show that nothing's happening. So it's double doses of Clomid from next month. Forgot to ask if it was one tablet twice a day, or 2 once a day though - doh! Katie - what have you been doing? Hopefully if it hasn't worked yet, they'll take it as 6 months from when it does start to work, not 6 months from it not working, otherwise we're already rather depressingly half way through the 6 months without any progress.

thanks ionaming - you too.

A lovely mumsnetter has been kind enough to share her experiences of IUI with me and it's made me feel OK about it.

Katierocket, good luck with your appointment today. Hope things start moving forward for you

Oh Katie, thanks for being excited for me. Yes, will be BDing - with assistance of wine. Hope the appointment goes well, keep us posted.

oh roobedoo, when I saw your name as the last poster I swear my heart was racing waiting to find out the news. What a shame but like you say at least not bad news and how weird. So you are now BDing then? (well not now this minute but over next few days)
We're off to consultant tomorrow.
Fingers crossed to all.

Well, I'm not pregnant but am apparently a medical marvel (I'd rather be pregnant). Somehow I have completely missed my period and am currently housing two big follicles ready to pop. The Nurse said she had never come across this before and had no explanation as to how it may have happened. Quite relieved the not knowing is over and glad it's not bad news - I was getting worried I had an ectopic or big cyst or something. Anyway, had the injection so busy 3 days. We're def more relaxed about it this time so we're going to have a couple of glasses of wine and not worry. Nurse did say my sore nips and dizziness could have been due to a very early preg which wasn't viable, but trying not to dwell on that as didn't even get a BFP. I think the symptoms were more likely down to all my odd hormones - I am a marvel after all!

Haven't tried reflexology or acupuncture but am quite interested so look forward to hearing how it goes. I got put off because someone said their reflexologist told them not to ttc for two months, although I don't think they all say that.

oh roobedo I saw your name and hoped it was good news. it does sound positive though, lots of people don't get postive results until ages after AF is due.

BFN. Still no sign of AF though. No idea what is going on. Think I'll contact clinic if nothing by Wed as that will be a week after the test date they gave me. Trying to forget about it - guess how well I'm doing!

crikey roobedoo, it sounds very promising, fingers crossed.

Oh, sorry Milsey. Still no sign of AF here so will do another test tomorrow. This not knowing is driving DH and me mad! AF well overdue now.

oh Roobedoo, it's so depressing when we can't allow ourselves to get our hopes up at the slightest sympton anymore. It used to be the "exciting" bit each month! Tonnes of luck that both you & Milesysgirl get your BFP this month - it's about time this thread had some good news
