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 Skates my bloods are due to be taken 26th August. Im confused because my cycle can be 31-38 days so unsure when to ttc, hubby works loads of hours and every other night isnt realistic, do you or any other have any advise. I also dont feel any different since taking the clomid, I keep expecting all these side effects or my body feeling it changing in some way, not happening.

Good luck and baby ust to all chelle

hi chelle.
waiting for clomid to make u feel diffrent aint going to happen unless u have any of the side affects of course. the only thing we want 2 feel mind is ourselfs ovulating dont we lol. stress is a bad situation 4 ppl like us 2 b in so try and relax. im due 4 my bloods on tues then due on the 26 and i can never judge the lenght of my cycle so me and hubby just do it as much as we can and both work alot of hours. on my last round which was round 4 my dose went up 2 100mg so i am hoping and praying that i have ova this month. best of girls. thinking of u all xxx

Hi haylz thanks for that its hard though to know what is right and wrong in these situation and what to look out for and what to ignore, I m just going to have fun over the next few days and wait to see if i have ovulated from bloods. appreciate your support its all a nightmare and our dh dont understand fully what we r going through so it is difficult.

Big hugs and baby fluff ( thought id be different) chelle x

Hi Giselle,

On my first round of clomid my cramps were awlful, there was one day in particular when i could barely walk and nearly went to the hospital. It turns out that i had over ovulated and had to lower my dose from 100mg to 50mg. This time round i dont have any cramps so i think my body is being really weird, either that or i haven't ovulated.

Its normal honest to have cramping!

Hi All,

I have had the most weird feelings in my tummy today, I feel bruised and I am extremely hungry, not sure what thats all about but my stabbing pains are worse today and feeling very sick, not good.

Giselle - bloods should be done on day 21 to make sure you are ovulating, if you are not they may increase your dose or if your levels are too high they may change the days you should take them. I have been trying for a baby since i was 20 and I am now 28, i seperated from my previous partner and have now been with my current partner (soon to be husband if he ever pops the damn question!) for 3 years and have been pretty much trying since the day we met xx

Chelle - It is hard trying to fit it in, i totally understand what you mean, my partner is a sports fanatic and doesnt get home til about 11pm each night. how about trying sex in the mornings?

I dont know about anyone else but I am sick and tired of hearing people giving me that crap line from pregnant friends "we stopped trying for a baby and ta da we got pregnant" in a perfect world yes we all would but this world is not perfect!!

Hear hear to that! hahah...... The thing i find difficult is that i have been tryin for two years, so as soon as i stopped the pill my body must have felt lonely without its crutch of hormones and decided to make me feel so unbelievable ill on the run up to and during my long spaced periods. I had every sympotom going making me think i was pregnant..... i think ive bought hundreds of tests as i was convinced that i might be different and it takes a few attempts at the test before u get a positive How sad eh? But no one... unless your goin through it will ever be able to understand the feeling. I have felt like an emotional wreck.. to the point of the doc putting me on a short course of anti anxiety tablets. Every day comes with feelin sicky and headaches.... clomid is just adding to the list but atleast this time i can think its for a good reason with hopefully a good outcome??? Sorry for long msg..needed to vent! hahaha xxx

Oh my god it is nice to hear that there is someone else out there! I have always had extremely heavy and painful periods, I normally have to spend the whole week in bed. I was admitted to hospital in January because the pain was so awful i could not breath, i had a scan and it showed that my left ovary was lazy and hanging slightly lower meaning it was contracting against other stuff in there and making me incredibly ill. roll on the morphine!

My SIL has just had a baby and she is very over protective of her so I am unable to spend any time with her which really gets me down, i think she thinks i will steal the baby or something! My other SIL is also about to drop so with those 2 and the 10 people at work expecting or partners expecting I am full to the brim of people saying "it will happen just relax" or "stop trying and you will conceive" it doesnt work that way, god gave me PCOS because he wants me to work harder so that is what I am having to do.

I too do a pregnancy test (or 5) every month in the hope that just maybe.... but never a good result. hopefully this month will be a good result for me and all of you girls xxxxx

Hi all
Not been on for a while but been reading all the postings.
Im feeling really peeved today just chased my scan date (which ive got to have before they will give me the clomid) and the hospital have said they not received the referral - phoned docs n they say yes it gone off - been waiting 2 months for a date now so was a bit harsh with them - hoping it will get sorted soon as just wanna get started.
Keep having stupid hopes i may get pg in meantime even did a test yday as got the sore boobs and been getting cramps but it was neg so guess it just means im gonna come on lot earlier than norm.
I agree the line bout stopping trying then finding out you are must be utter rubbish cause lets face it if you wanna baby you aint gonna give up trying even if u say you will we would still all do the ov calculations secretly!!
Anyways sorry to rant but not told anyone bout this and so it good to be able to post it here!!

Hi Peju,

I think that is terrible that you dont yet have a scan date. when you are trying for a baby I feel time is of the essence, waiting only prolongs the stress!

Fingers crossed. Will let you all know monday.

Morning girls... not doin well at all. Went out last night to a bbq and had to go home early as felt so ill. Continual sicky feelin hot flushes that make me feel dizzy and feelin sooooo bloated and abit constipated. Sick of everyone tellin me to just try not to think about it and then the same people keep sayin ...' well u could be pregnant if your feelin like that????' I cant win! Just dont know what to do with myself..... i know im not... its too early to start with but dont get why my body thinks its fun to give me all these stupid symptoms..... Sorry girlies just wantin a baby sooo badly. xxxxx

Hi Giselle21,

I know exactly how you feel, i feel like im due on a period everyday, bloating, tired, just not myself, think its the clomid thats made me feel like this, im on a emotional roller coaster at the minute.

Lets hope we all get some good news soon, sprinkling lots of baby dust.

Keep smiling xxx

hi everyone well im happy to say ive had no side effects at all ! ( apart from longer period than normal, but hey i can handle that !!!!) am on day 9 0f my cycle,on clomid for the first time took it days 3-7. can anybody tell me when im supposed to ovulate as im a little confused

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi teenab, go on a site called fertility friend online, it will give you a calender that works out your ovulation days, also good as it keeps records of hospital app and whatever else you need to add, i use it and its been a big help .

Good Luck

Hi guys....on day 14 of first round of clomid and do not feel anything so far...i suppose its a good thing not really having side effects but it makes me feel like nothing is happening. I usually ovulate on day 17-20 and im kinda hoping for some pain to make it all feel real and like something is happening!!

Giselle- I was also given three months supply of clomid with no mention of bloods...only a scan when the three months are up...some doctors must take the relaxed approach!!??

Giselle,

Are you under a normal day 2 day GP or have you been refered to a fertility clinic? They SHOULD be monitoring you! Bloods should be taken on day 21 of your cycle. I know some people have regular scans to check up on things aswell. I've been put on clomid after numerous test's because they have found out that my progesterone level is very low. That was after being refered to a fertility specialist. Have you had any tests? Sorry if this comes across a bit negative. It just concerns me that you have been given medication, that they should be looking after you whilst taking it. I'm sorry to hear about the side effects that you have been having

Cheekymonkey: Any news???

Angel/Sarah: You have not posted for ages, how are things with you guy's?

Hi All,

Hope you had a nice weekend.

Mine was filled with feeling sick, constipated, abdominal pains, hot flushes and headaches! Also feel a bit angry and have been biting everyones head off.

Cheekymonkey any news?? have you tested again today?

Giselle my body is also making me feel pregnant, oh how I wish I was b ut like you said it is too soon.

Hi Giselle and Skates

Are you both on your first round of clomid? Last month i felt the same, i was so sure i was pregnant, i did three tests just in case each of the others was wrong - its not a nice feeling - but i think it gets better as i have had no sypmtoms this time round - went for my bloods today, think i must have seen a butcher of a nurse, because she popped my vain and now i have a bruise in the crease of my arm, it hurts so much i can't lift anything heavy up.

Pixistar - Angel is at the same stage as me she would have had her bloods done today and Sarah, well she is taking a break from clomid as she was unsuccessful with round 3.

Hi Wallacex,

Yes first round for me, finished my 5th day on friday just gone, I was kind of hoping the headaches and sicky feeling would go but they have persisted and have got worse but I can live with it if it means that I have a greater chance of getting pregnant.

I have come to the conclusion that nurses are butchers, the best person to take your blood is a phlebotonist as they have much more practise and it hurts much less. My veins seem to get stage fright when I go near needles.

Hiya wallcex,

s**t i forgot my bloods today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im so pissed off!!!!!!

Hi All,
Another newbie here. I was just going a bit crazy there and I found this thread, Thank God! I feel instantly better, I AM NOT ALONE.
On second month of Clomid 50mg (day 14), saw the doc a week ago and was told I have to increase to 100mg as I'm still not ovulating. This was just after taking another round of 50mg so he says I'll not ovulate this month...... hence the craziness! I feel like I'm in limbo for another two weeks. Plus I'm a little worried about the effect of taking more drugs.
Anyone on 100mg and not experienced side effects? I'm scared I'll turn into an ogre and my husband won't want to come near me!

May the force be with us! x

Hi Vikks

Welcome to the thread - yep i was on 100mg and i had no side effects, i was told to reduce my dose to 50mg as i had ovulated too much. Have you had any side effects from taking 50mg?

Angel - oh no!!! can you go today or is too late? This was my last month of going, so i won't be seen now until November for my review.

welcome vikks.
im on 100mg as i wasnt ova on 50mg and had no side effects. i had my bloods done this mornin so fingers crossed i will do this month.

angel why dont you go 4 ur bloods 2day it wont make much diff i dont think as ur stil on day 22.

Hi Guys hope you are all well, unfortunately I only get the chance to get on my computer 2/3 times a week that is why Im not on every day. Im on day 15 of my cycle and also cant figure ovulation times, been looking out for changes in the body as told but nothing occuring going to keep trying until bloods next Tuesday 26th hoping to god have ovulated. DH and I have had a good chat as we dont want to put pressure on each other or it becomes to clinicial, then that is to much pressure. Have been getting dull pains just below belly button, but dont know if that is anything and got a rash come up on my chest, falling to bits. This is a really helpful site and some great caring girlies hear, big baby hugs Chelle
