Clomid success stories please

[Natty1806]

Hi

Not sure if this has been done before but am due to start clomid next month and could do with some happy stories. Please let me know why you were prescribed it and how long it took to get pregnant.

Many thanks

Hi cheekymonkey,
My consultant said that it would be a good start to loose 10% of my body weight. I joined slimming world & found that it come off really quick, but in a healthy way. I am so impatient I can't wait to start clomid, my period is due around 16th July (it's been regular lately) It was all over the place at the start of the year. I hope it stays this way.

HI SARAH1109, MY TEST IS ACTUALLY TOMOOROW (FRIDAY). SORRY I GOT THE DATES MIXED UP. YES ALL IS WELL, JUST KEEP GETTING HOT FLUSHES SINCE LAST NIGHT, WEIRD CAUSE I TOOK CLOMID LAST ABOUT A WEEK AND HALF AGO.

HOW ARE YOU....???

Hi Angel008,

I'm doing OK thanks. I've been getting hot flushes ever since taking my Clomid. (I took my last one last Friday) I normally get ovulating pain for about 6-8 hours, but this month it's lasted 2 day so far?? Perhaps I'm releasing multiple eggs??!!

With any luck our continuous hot flushes mean that the Clomid has worked!! I'm just hating the wait to find out!!

Hope all goes well today. Let me know how you get on!!

Good luck hun and take care. xx

hi every1 hows ur tests going? angel008??
ive had lil bit of sleepness nights since being on clomid hot flushes oh n my appetite has gone so wierd lol part from that its cool and i feel fine last tablet tnt can u still drink on them?? got friends 21st 2mrw nt and i wanna get drunk as we r going clubbing after duz any1 no if u can drink on them??? xxx

Hi debz9384,

I've had a couple of glasses of wine whilst taking mine, with no dodgy effects. However, they do say to only have 1 or 2 units per week max while pregnant, so maybe take it easy?? Upto you at the end of the day though!!

xx

Hi sarah1109 and debs9384,

Thanks for the messages..x My blood test went fine today get my results in around 5 days so will wait till next fridy and then go doctors.

Sarah i do hope the hot flushes mean its worked....i so want a baby now.....been thinking of all sorts of names and moved all the baby stuff out my house as im always baby shopping but my mates have said its bad luck and il jinx myself. hmmmmmmmmm

I dont think clomid has worked for me this month. although i always think negative anyway so maybe im wrong. Hate playing the maybe and what if game.....

Sarah and debs, fingers crossed this will workfor yous and me too but if its not have you all been put on the ivf list too??? It depends on the area how long you wait doesnt it, i have a date for february which is like 7 months away so im really excited abut that anyway. If someone pulls out which i think is unlikely then the names come closer to the top of the list which is even better.

Anyway hope you are both ok and debs hope your not drinking too much but then again you may asweel before you have a baby on its way lol!!!!

xxxx loadsa luck to you.

Hi Angel008,

Keep your chin up hun and try and stay positive. There's a very fine line with staying positive and getting your hopes up I know!!

I've been ovulating for the last 3 days I think, my "area" has been in absolute agony! It's not so bad at the moment but I can still feel it! The next 2 weeks are just gonna drag by aren't they!!

I know what you mean about the baby stuff. I haven't bought any, but I do keep looking at it all and "picking" out stuff that I'm gonna buy one day (I hope).

I have a D from a previous relationship (nearly 7), but my husband has no children of his own, and we really want to have one together. Plus it will be nice if my D can have a brother or sister. Unfortunately, we won't qualify for IVF on the NHS, because of my D, and we really can't afford to fund it ourselves at the moment, so I'm really hoping the Clomid works as it's pretty much our last chance!

I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you hun, really hope your blood tests come back with excellent news!

Debz9384, hope you have an excellent time at your friends "do" tonight. Ah 21, those were the days!! . Try and relax, and enjoy yourself, you never know, it may just help!!

Lets hope we can all have a successful month, so that we can go through the next stage together!!

Good luck girls. xxx

Hi sarah1109 and debs9384

Thank you both for your messages.

Sarah your message was really sweet....it would be nice if we didnt have to go through this but now that we do its nice to have some support from women who understand.

I have noticed whilst on clomid ovulation pains are really bad. I could barely walk is was that bad With every step i took i felt excruciating pain.

Awwww thats really nice that you have a daughter but i cant believe the nhs dont fund ivf for that reason. Your with a new partner now so it should be a whole new start. oh well dont give up hope and if i ever come by any money id defo help you out. Even though you dont know someone i think when u share the same experience its as if you do know them.

once again thanks for all your kind messages and i sincerely do hope too that clomid works for us all.

Debs9384, why wont you qualify till your 25?? yes it was my test yesterday. the guy aking my blood bruised my arm lol. i swear he didnt know what he was doing.

by the way re you both taking pregnacare too??????????????its really supposed to help whilst trying to concieve. Im from manchester.

hi angel008 i dont know y im from scotland thats prob y lol .... i hate getting blood taken so wen do u get ur results??? oh i hope u get preg ths munth is ur partner bein supportive?? aw no really i hope it aint too bad wen im ovulating yeah im on that 2!!!! im obsessed with checking all stories abowt clomid i hadnt even heard of it till april how long willu b on waiting list 4 ivf??? xxxxxx

I was prescribed Clomid at age 32 after diagnosis of Polycystic Ovaries and hypothyroidism, although the latter was also treated with thyroxine. It took 9 months to conceive (dh was away a lot on business, so that had something to do with it) and after our first child, the next 2 were conceived spontaneously without any help.

Ah bless you Angel008, that's a really nice thing to say!! Thank you. I keep doing the lottery, so you never know I may be able to return that favour one day!!

On the IVF thing, the NHS set up the free IVF thing a little while ago, but it's the poxy governament who stepped in and said that couples with any children from any partner (even if they no longer live with you!) would not be eligible to NHS IVF treatment. I hate Tony Blair!!!

I've never even heard of pregnacare, but I will definitely go and get some....anything that will help!!!

I'm from Southend in Essex by the way!

Take care girls. xx

Hi debz

I get my results on friday. will post a mesage on here wether its good or bad news.

Yeah my parners being relly supportive but theres no only so Men just sometimes think your exagerating lol. But hes really patient and i supoose when good things happen we can get excited together.

Its good that your taking pregnacare...kep it up. I know what you mean with clomid stories, ive been looking at em too but found this is the best discussion site really.

Ive been on the witing list sinc last february so about 5 months id say. Only a years wait so im really glad. 7 months 2 go and after my clomid en then that another months. but in novembe i see the consultant again and i might get a further highe dosage of clomid. probs means worse oulation pains! lol

Hi sarah 1109

Your most welcome.....il be waiting for you to win the lotto lol!

I cant believe you havent heard of pregnacare. at te moment its 3 for the price of 2 in boots. plase get some its really good and provides you with all the vital vitamins and its important you do take it when trying to concieve and during pregnancy. i stocked up on it ages ago. i get like 6 months supply when the offers on.

Your from southend......ive been there quite a nice place. i only went to the pleasure beach though lol!!!

Anyway take care and night night xx

Let me know if you get any pregnacare.

Hi Angel,

I will get some today - any excuse to go out shopping anyway!!!

Southend's OK I suppose, my parents live in Wales and I think it's lovely there. Also, we go on holiday to Cornwall every year which is great - I get to do nothing in the sun, on the beach, whilst my hubby goes surfing!! WSe're going again in about 8 weeks and I can't wait!!

Are you going on holiday?

Take care xx

Hi sarah, my family live in wales too in rhyl. lol......iv got no holidays planned but jut come back from egypt last month.

Ive been having really bad pains in my tummy all night like period pains and still got em today. not due on for another 8 days so hope im not coming on early. :-(

Hi Angel,

You may be having ovulating pains. Clomid can make your cycle longer. Keep an eye on them and maybe contact your doc if they start to worry you.

My ovulating pains are finally subsiding. Lasted about 4-5 days though!!

xx

I was prescibed clomid just over 8 years ago as I had stopped ovulating, a side affect of taking the pill. I was given 2 months supply and still have one month in my cupboard. DS2 is 7 1/2 yo. My sister hs PCOS and was prescribed Clomid. She took it for 3 months with not success. She then tried IUI unsucessfully and then IVF. DS1 was born in February.

Good Luck Natty

Hello

Just thought I would pop in to say, I was diagnosed with severe Endometriosis and Endometriomas 2 years ago. Had 2 operations to clear scar tissue and stuff. DH had vasectomy 14 years ago and a reversal Nov 2006. We discovered he only had 33% good sperm as the rest had the antibodies on them. We were told by a professor of IVF that we would NEVER conceive naturally. My own consultant was more positive and suggested we tried clomid. I was then waiting for my next AF last October when I discovered I was pregnant but later went on to miscarry. Then in February this year and on my 3rd round of clomid at 50mg, i discovered I was pregnant. I was so nervous and was convinced something was going to go wrong, alas we have our 20 week scan on Wednesday this week.

All i want to say is have faith. I am still amazed that my body is coping with being pregnant and that I am that lucky to be given this opportunity. Also, if you are able to, try acupuncture. I started a course of this at the beginning of the 3rd round of clomid and I truely believe it helped. If not because of what it was doing inside but because mentally it helped me adjust and think about what my body was trying to do. Trust me I was sceptical initially but when you get to our stage, we'll try anything.

Wishing you all the best of luck, and trust me, I know exactly how you feel. It overtakes your life and you feel like no one understands but if you need anything, please just ask. This website is great for support. x

hi pinkali37 omg thats amazing u must b soo excited ?? i finished my 1st round of clomid fri so just in process of trying lol hopefully it wrks ths munth got 3 months supply
hi rainbow did u concieve ur ds by clomid??
hi angel008 and sarah hope uz r well any thing to report back???xxxx

Thank you debs... My consultant said to try 50mg for 3 months and then go up to 100mg for 3 months. I almost think that it builds up in you. However, I didn't ovulate following the first 2 months worth with day 21 blood tests such as 1.0. However, on round 3 day 21 came back as 67, which I was sooo happy with and then voila... mini me arrived.

I really do wish you luck. x

Hi debz9384,

I'm doing OK thanks. I ovulated end of last week, and OMG did it hurt!!!

The pains have subsided now, but I do feel weird. I don't know if it's the tablets or what but there's some strange things going on with my body!!
