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 all,

I did a test (the first response one) yesterday five days before period due and it was negative which I knew it would be as been getting really bad period pains since last week. Due on on friday so round 2 of clomid with IUI. I have been getting really bad mood wings, which is not normal for me as I never really suffer from mood swings...is this the clomid....has anyone else experienced this???? Its like really bad PMT i imagine.

Good luck to all those starting their next rounds x

hopeful1 · 28/07/2008 09:16

oops i mean swings not wings!!!!!

Hi all
Angel008 & Wallacex - sorry to hear the ob got you this month - fingers crossed for you for the next cycle. Think we are due some good news on here i dont think there has been a pos for a little while so hopefully you two can raise all our hopes!
Ive not been on here over weekend as been feeling a bit down - one of my friends has said she pg n she only been with bloke for bout 5 weeks - just feel that life not being fair - sorry to moan
Anyway guess we got to be positive that it will work for us lot here and our babies will be extra special!

hi all.
just an update my gyno rang and told me 2 up my dose 2 100mg. was due on friday but still no sign have tested but it was neg so jus gotta wait now 2 start round 4 but this will be 100mg so fingers crossed i will ova. best of luck 2 u allxxxxxxxxxxx

Wallacex · 28/07/2008 16:32

Hi Angel

Thanks for the message, sometimes it gets so confusing remember when to take what - thats good that we are at the same stage. I didn't get to speak to my consultant, but on advice on the nurse and my results im reducing my dose to 50mg this round, when i go for my bloods i will see if i ovulated and what it was.

Thanks for the message Peju - i know what you mean a friend of a friend popped out a girl on Saturday shes 26 and now has five children. Life is just so unfair - one of us soon must have some positive news it is definitley overdue now.

Hopeful - sorry it didn't work but don't get to disheartend, that response pregnancy test only gives a positive result to about 62% of women five days before they are due - so hold out you still never know.

peju25 · 28/07/2008 17:14

Hi
Hopeful1 its true what Wallcex says some women have to wait until they are 2 weeks late so i know its hard to wait but until af arrives there is still some hope. same to you Haylz its not over till the ob arrives. I posted before as someone i heard from tested 1 wk late then 2 wks late and both neg then 2 days after that got her pos so it can happen for some that the neg can turn into pos, and in meantime have fun trying!!

peju25 · 28/07/2008 17:17

Hi Wallacex - I am going to leave my office now and go n have a glass or 2 of wine as feeling bit fed up - know its not the ultra fertile peoples fault but bah humbug!! Sure will get over it!! But we could do with a good result on here so am keeping my fingers crossed for ya on this course!! Am hoping will finally get my scan date soon - will keep you posted.

Wallacex · 28/07/2008 18:45

Hi Peju

I couldn't wait to get out of my office today, i feel like im surrounded by pregnant women in the office and now the sun is shinning (well not at the moment)there seem to be more everywhere i look.

I keep starring into mothercare and wondering if i will ever get the chance -god look at me moaning on - no-one needs that.

We have to keep our spirits up and im sure one of us will have good news soon - have far are you into the treatment?

Angel008 · 28/07/2008 22:40

hiya wallacex.

Do you need to go for 21 day blood test. if so just realised day 21 is on a saturday so that means we are going to have to go in on monday.......thats what the consultant said last time anyway!

Just thought id post on here to let you know. Took my clomid today. Periods seem really heavy this month, dont know if thats cause of clomid!

Bubkin · 29/07/2008 12:33

Hi All, I am newly registered but i have been reading the threads for a few months.
i am going to be starting clomid 50mg this month, but am irregular, so is it best i start provera on the 28th day of my cycle?

thanks

kirsty

peju25 · 29/07/2008 13:25

Hi Wallacex - couldnt reply yesterday as my home computer went wrong!! Ive not started clomid yet have got to wait for a scan date first as my doc just wanted a scan done to make sure all else is ok so am hoping to start in August (prob end). Been trying for just over a year now so its not that long to wait i spose but i am getting impatient - no date in post again today!

cheekymonkeywanted · 29/07/2008 17:46

Hi angel008, im a little ahead of myself i guess, i am just on cycle 2 now, the busy part of the cycle of every other day hahaha!!! but having fun! I ovulated first month of taking clomid but just wondered how many months to leave it before speaking to the specialist again if nothing happens, i have been given 6 months worth of 50mg. Hopefully wont need to worry about that and fall pregnant, i guess "normal" couples take a while to fall pregnant anyway.

Wallacex - have a good moan get it all out hahah!!! i know what you mean pregnant woman everywhere...babies gallore! plus its quite sad i know but babies born around now are all from christmas time

haylz · 30/07/2008 13:33

peju25 · 30/07/2008 14:15

Sarah1109 · 30/07/2008 17:54

Hi guys,

Hope your all OK.

Well I'm now a day late, I was due on yesterday!!

Not too excited though coz I've done a test which was negative. Guess I'm just on an extended cycle. Probably the heat!!

Take care all!!

Angel008 · 30/07/2008 22:08

Hi guys,

Just wanted to let you all know i have started acupuncture today and so has ma hubby! Having a session every 2 weeks now till the end of my clomid! Lets wait and see if this helps. The consultant at the acupuncture clinic said within six sessions there is usually a success so lets wait and see if they just wanted my money!!!!! lol Good luck to you all x

feduplady · 30/07/2008 22:29

Hi everyone

Hope all ok - you are right we really need someone to get a BFP soon.

Know what you mean about pregnant ladies everywher had to go today to one hospital for blood tests (not for fertility) and just happened to be the same day as the ante-natal clinic - great!! woman sat next to me in queue just had her first scan grrr! then woman in pharmacy was pg too! lol

Then had to go 40 miles to my Fertility clinic, there is no change in my follicles so are upping me to 150mg Clomid next time round. Anyone else not even ovulating as I read some of you are successful in ovulatin? Also has anyone found they get bad headaches for a few days after taking clomid?

Good luck and lots of baby dust to all.
xx

haylz · 31/07/2008 11:14

Angel - are you going for your bloods on Monday 18 August, thats when ive worked mine out to?
