ANY ADVICE ON CLOMID????

Hi all i took clomid i have PCOS for all my pregnancys fron day 5 to 9 some pain around ovulation but nothing major.Conceived 1st month each time should say i have 4 children.Last one was twin however lost one at 8 weeks but continued with preg to have little girl now 3.Wonderful stuff where would we be without it.
Good luck to all who are trying.

LOL Roobedo, I so know what you mean.

my af is due any day now and my pmt starts at ovulation time and then eases off when af comes usually the day before. Think my af will be here in 2 to 3 days as a bit less stressed. i do hope the clomid doesnt turn me into a monster. Ive already decieded to try and control it as much as poss, i mean we wont bd if im a moody miss will we

It's times like these I feel vaguely sorry for DH - this week I've got pmt, next week will be AF so grumpy anyway, but clomid grumpiness on top, then he gets a week where I'm demanding non stop BD followed by a week of me being depressed about it not working. It's all fun, fun, fun!

OK thanks roobedo, resigned to AF coming (due in 5 days), feel very angry and tense, could be Clomid, could be the frustration of it not having worked.

How is everyone? I have been feeling quite pmt like today although AF not due for another week. Could of course be that DS was horrendous this afternoon and I was feeling particularly tense, but have just felt down and grotty all day and keep feeling faint - but I'm always doing that!

Good luck to u all... Stay positive

well you are a beacon of hope for us all curvey!

It is possible i really cant remember my youngest dd is just over 2 years now. So seems a long time ago now

Plus I never had any side effects from the clomid at all....!!

you were maybe on 1 x 50mg then 2 x 50mg.

Cant remember the dose in mgs.... But i was on 1 tablet from day 2-6.. Then i was put up to 2 tablets from 2-6. And they never found a reason to why i couldn't fall naurally...!!

Thanks for that Curvybebe (love the name!) I think I've resigned myself to the fact that I will be starting on Clomid next week now.....what dose were you on when you conceived? I'm starting out on 100mgs per day

With my 1st dd i was on cloimd for a year then they doubled the dosage thats the month i fell!!! All in all we tried 3 years for 1st dd and 14 months for 2nd dd who we also fell with the month comid was doubled. I remember well the heart ache month after month the dissapointment. All i can say is be positive, and as corny as it sounds it is really worth the wait!!!

I'm on day 20 now, AF will be here by a week tomorrow if she's coming...but I always get tell tale spotting 2 or 3 days beforehand so I'll probably know by Monday if I'm not PG.

I had to get up in the night again for a wee last night, that's the second time running, and it's almost unheard of for me, so who knows? Also, I had niggly pains down there yessterday evening (not cramps and not particularly painful, but a bit early for AF signs) so I'm now trying deperately not to get on to the Am I Aren't I rollercoaster.

I was quite excited about going on to Clomid at first, but if I'm honest I'm dreading it now - not because of the side effects or anything, but in case it doesn't work

I know roobedo, that's what is so frustrating. I just keep thinking why? 15 months seems like a lifetime. Oh well, will try very hard not to dwell on it today (difficult with nagging AF pains). Have a good day.

Oh no - so many faces. Poor you Katierocket - it's just up and down with the emotions isn't it. It's just so frustrating - we've managed to conceive before so why not now?

thanks Loubie. I don't know whether they are worse, maybe some of it is psychological because I'm thinking about it so much?
Anyway, whereabouts are you in cycle?

(((Katierocket))) Are the pains worse than normal ones? Maybe that's another side effect of Clomid?

I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up with my first course of Clomid - I know it is possible to conceive on your first round, but reading through Clomid message boards it seems it's the exception rather than the norm.

In fact my specialistisn't even monitoring me on the first cycle - I'm having 21 day bloods done on month 2 and 3 so maybe he doesn't expect it to work first time round?

Big hugs, I hope you feel better soon

I have horrendous period pains

what's so hard about it is knowing that every month you have to go through the same set of emotions again - anticipation, excitement, disappointment - I just can't face it.

AND got new Isabella Oliver catalogue through the post this morning - that made me feel really great.

Don't know what I'd do without you lot to confide in. Felt vaguely sick yesterday and DH got so excited, but I think I may have imagined it and feel so bad for getting DH's hopes up. Have been and bought zinc this morning and instructed DH that he HAS to take it! Feel like I have pmt although too soon for AF so think I'm just a bit miserable.

yes Loubie, fingers crossed. It helps to chat to someone going through the same thing doesn't it.
