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 Angel,

No a/f as yet, but i have major pain so give it a couple of days - round 2 it will be for me - bit fed up - but best not to dwell (i say until the weekend comes and i drink my sorrows away).

i think the thread was on fertility zone or baby and bump - off the top of my head - lol

Hello All
Well I'm still 'Fed up lady'. Had 2 cycles of Clomid, last one was 100mg dose. Went for day 18 scan yesterday and my biggest follicle is only 9mm (apparently they have to be 17mm to release eggs). So this is only 1mm bigger than same stage last month and thats with a double dose from last month! I was so down had to bite my lip to stop me crying to nurse. however she did say that as the Clomid is trying to stimulate ovaries they might just suddenly kick into action and start popping eggs out, thats why they have to keep close eye on me. They want me to go back again next week for one final check but if no big improvement going to up me to 150mg next cycle. I can just see it going all the way to IVF .
Sorry to winge, hope everyone else is ok
xx

Hey,

I am due to get my period in 8 days and have got period pain (which I can get up to a week before it comes) not a good sign is it??????

So fed up and this is only first round.....going to do 3xIUI and then IVF

Hi all,

Well I am another 'newbie'. My story is i got pg 10 years ago on Clomid and miscarried at 9weeks. Have PCOS and one blocked tube (just found out that egg can get out of either side so if blocked on left can get out via right!!!) Kind of gave up for a while - have very irregular AF as in sometimes monthly then 6 monthly. Anyway 10yrs on and getting older now 37 - realised i really want a baby! Was referred to JR in Oxford and given a 6month deadline before IVF. Started clomid last month, responded 'fantastically' follicles good size, bloods brilliant - this is it i thought!
Well not! AF arrived this morn - gutted! So back to the drawing board as they say think i just missed my ovulating window!
Reading threads on here really quite positive and wondered anyone same kind of story or knows about blocked tubes and can they still get out with one blocked!
thanks all :-)

I got 5 days til I'm due on. I feel rubbish - really sicky!! Probably just the heat. Unbearable isn't it??

I felt a lot of pg symptoms last month but it turned out to be nothing. I dare say it will be the same again this time!!

Hope everyone's OK? xxx

Angel008 · 24/07/2008 22:02

Hi all......This seems like its gona be a big message lol!

Angel008 · 24/07/2008 23:18

Wallacex · 25/07/2008 08:51

Hi ladies,

Blimey i seem to have missed out a lot of those messages yesterday, scrambling through them today.

My body is doing weird things, i was due on yesterday but i still haven't seen. I have all the symptoms but nothing. Im getting frustrated, i just want to getting cracking with round two. My body is driving my nuts.

Angel - have no idea why it was funny, i think the heat and working in an office yesterday, not to mention the strange things that are happening to my body, seem to be sending me do lally (not sure if spelt right).

Have you come on this morning - if not when will you test?

peju25 · 25/07/2008 09:26

Hi All - ive been busy so not had a chance to get on here!! At work now so able to!! Im ok still no scan date yet - hate waiting just want to get started.
Wallacex have you taken a pg test to check?? I know that some of symptoms of pg mirror af so just a thought??

Wallacex · 25/07/2008 10:03

Hi Peju25,

thanks for your message, do they really, i have had bad cramping pain so just put it down to my period, figured after doing those early tests last weekend and they were negative just asumed this was my af. Will probably wait til next thursday before i test, as they say clomid can make your cycle longer (not that i had a cycle really before).

will keep you posted though - how you getting on with everything - no that feeling am at work myself.

peju25 · 25/07/2008 10:08

done sooo much reading on symptoms when i kept being late and thinking i may be pg and yep some do get period like cramps etc when they are pg - think our bodies do it to annoy!! Let me know if you do another test - will keep my fingers crossed for you.
I just wanna get started on a course now but having to wait for scan - still nowt in post this am. Bored at work and dont want to be stuck in office all day! Spose at least it not sunny out and i am getting out of office this afternoon so yippee!!

Angel008 · 25/07/2008 11:14

Hiya wallacex where are you???? I havent come on yet either. I have pains in my back and pains here and there but no cramps....had them yesterday but nothing today......I dont wana test thogh cuase i probs will come on even though dosnt feel like it!

Im gona test on thursday with you if im not on by there which is like i say extremely unlikely!!!!!!!! lol Good luck

Wallacex · 25/07/2008 12:14

Hi Angel,

This is so hard - im so tempted to run out in my lunch hour and buy a test, but i keep thinking i still have cramps on and off so im not pregnant, and after those tests last weekend that were negative, i can't imagine that i am.

I just wish my body would make up its mind. Is it a date for thursday or should i test today?
