Many thanks

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 3 years. After talking with my OB-GYN about our concerns, she referred us to a specialist. The fertility specialist ran several tests on me and my husband and everything is well, so he suggested clomid. My husband wanted to try for a little while longer on our own so we waited six months trying to having a baby w/out clomid. My last cycle, we decided to try it out and tomorrow I have my last US before TIC. I'm so nervous, and I hope it works ur first round of Clomid. Well I'll keep you all posted. Keep us in your prayers!! Good luck to all that are trying to conceive. Babydust!!

Hello everyone, hope you don't mind me asking but I'd really like to know when clomid can help.

Have been ttc for 18 months now, had one M/C at 10 weeks and nothing since (over a year ago) my consultant says the progesterone tests are positive and I'm ovulating. When do they prescribe clomid? Is only when you are not ovulating??

I think my luteal phase (ovu until AF is about 10-11 days) is this an indication for clomid?

Sorry about all the questions but mn seems to be alot easier to get answers than doctors are.

lissie · 25/07/2007 09:56

poppy, i will be prescribed clomid on the 30th due to irregular ovulation. HTH

Molly65 · 25/07/2007 13:36

Hello,

Just popping by. I am 42 and conceived naturally after trying with clomid a couple of times. The clomid seemed to get things moving. Just to be sure I had a red-dye test to check tubes were clear as well. We had been ttc for about 18 months. I'm now 15 weeks pregnant, and so far all is well!! Good luck!!!! It can work.

Molly

poppy75 · 25/07/2007 17:19

Thanks

Maybe I'll speak to my doctor about it, might just help

ccpink · 25/07/2007 17:45

Malfoynomore · 25/07/2007 18:01

NO personal experience, but a friend of mine fell succesfully pg with her 2. cycle of clomide ( she was on it as she had to much tostesterone) , years later she felt surprising pg, naturally....

Malfoynomore · 25/07/2007 18:01

erm fell even ,lol

RavenclAwen · 25/07/2007 21:03

was px clomid 50mg for PCOS on first course 21 day bloods said hadnt ovulated. I also tested negative for pregnancy so started progesterone to induce bleed. Bleed didnt come and tested positive for preg CD64 (ov'd around CD40/41) so dont know if clomid boosted system or wehter i just ov'd anyway. Now 17+2. x

good luck with the clomid.

LunarSea · 25/07/2007 22:15

Well it took 9 months of clomid, and hcg injections (turned out I could grow the follicles, but they didn't pop on heir own IYSWIM) - but ds2 is now 3 months old

MrsTLC · 28/07/2007 01:58

Hi poppy, to answer your question. You can still take clomid even when you're ovulating regularly. I have no problem ovulating, but have been unable to get pregnant, so my fertility specialist prescibed me clomid. You should also be be able to get it, just speak with your doctor. God bless!!

Mrsjaffabiffa · 28/07/2007 10:26

Hi, A very close friend of mine doesn't ovulate every month. She was prescribed chlomid after 4 years of trying naturally, she then fell pg quite quickly but unfortunately miscarried at 12 weeks. She took another course and fell pregnant again, she had a gorgeus dd 9mths later. She is now 8 days overdue with her No2 conceived totaly naturally as soon as they decided to start to try again. Good Luck. xxx

MrsTLC · 30/07/2007 02:45

Thanks for sharing MrsJaffajiffa, that's good to hear. I just took clomid for the first time last week, and on Aug 6th I'm supposed to take a preg test. We're really hoping it works the first time. Keep the stories coming ladies!! These stories have given me a lot of knowledge and strength. Keep me in your prayers, Thanks!

AlexE · 30/07/2007 12:05

Hi sorry bit of a long one. Was trying to conceive for 2 years then had lap and dye test in Aug 06 which said one tube blocked but one ok. Then was given clomid but couldn't take until i had a period now i had not had a period since i came of the pill and started to TTC for 2 years so i asked if there was anthing to start a bleed so i could start on clomid. They gave me something and i started the clomid on the 30th October 06. I had the 21 day blood test and said that i hadn't ovulated so to go onto highier dose. I didn't have a bleed or anything i did a preg test just before xmas which was negative so after xmas instead of taking the stuff to have the bleed i just started the clomid as preg test still neg. This showed that i had ovulated. But my period never came, did a preg test and was positive but when we went for the scan i was 8 weeks pregnant and had conceived on the 14th December 06. We have recently lost our baby and they have started me back on clomid and i just wondered if anyone had had anything similar happen as not sure if it was the clomid or a one off me ovulating, it just seems weired that i hadn't ovulated for 2 years and then took the clomid and got pregnant within 6 weeks? Really confussed¬!!! Thanks for reading appologies again for so long.

MrsTLC · 31/07/2007 02:28

AlexE, Clomid is still kind of a mistery to me too. Not sure how after 2 years of no period, you got pregnant with Clomid, but considering you had a successful pregnancy with it before; I think it will work again for you. Good luck!!

MrsTLC · 31/07/2007 02:40

Help!

I was told after taking the clomid and the hcg injection to wait until Aug 6th before taking a preg test. But today I felt sharp like pains which was unusual, so I couldn't wait to take the preg test. The preg test came back positive. I'm a lil in shock!

Has anyone received a pos. preg test after taking clomid, when in actuality they were not pregnant?

AlexE · 31/07/2007 08:18

Hi just wondered if anyone had had this before, i started taking clomid last Tuesday and took my last pill on saturday. On sunday i had a really bad pain in my stomach for about 1 hour it was really low down like period pain at first i thought that it was becasue i have been really badly constipated sorry tmi, but it stopped hurting after an hour or so. Then this morning i have started to bleed a little not very much like the start of a period and i have a bit of a dull ache in my stomach on and off. i didn't have a bleed before i started clomid as took the withdrawal bleed stuff but nothing happened so my consultant said just to start the clomid. Not sure what is going on in my body has anyone had this before as last year when i went on clomid on the same dose i never had any bleeding inbetween?

Thanks

I am puting weight on and its always been my problem i am 10 and just above half stone and i am 5'5". in deep down my heart i gave up ages ago but yearn for child, i know that i m not going to have baby because it didnt happen from last 12 years, i am just down, this is 1st month of tablets, i hope really it works. good luck to all sisters in same position. x

wexy · 18/08/2007 17:42

I have also started taking clomid my first time. I feel very strange but i have recently given up breast feeding, a 18 month old. I have a 30 month old and 18 month old. I feel i want another child and dont feel complete yet. I am aged 43 and have being trying since January 07, no luck yet thats why i have decided to take comid, to speed things along because of my age. Do you think its successful in the older woman or am i taking a risk.

tori32 · 20/08/2007 20:40

Hi all, I haven't had personal experience of clomid, however, it did work for my friend and she had a ds. Later she went on to concieve twice without it.
ASSIJI- my friend had lots of similar problems to you in that an ectopic destroyed one tube and the other tube was blocked. She had tests obviously and ended up having 3 rounds of IVF without success. Her and DH decided to try to adopt. After a year in the system and with nearly a child placed to them she discovered she was PG. He is now 18mths and she recently concieved again but unfortunately MC 3 wks ago.However, at least she knows she can concieve which was the initial problem.
I hope this gives some hope xx

PanicPants · 20/08/2007 20:49

I was on clomid (for PCOS)for just over a year (13 cycles) before I fell pg ( I m/c ) but the following month conceived ds (now 2) and since the pg have started having normal periods without using clomid (for the first time in years. Going to start trying for another soon so fingers crossed.
