Hi Everyone

I have just joined the discussion board today and seeing all the success stories is so comforting...well my story is as follows...

I started my periods REALLY late at 18 and only had a period roughly once a year if even that...I had been going to the hospital originally coz of lack of periods but then continued due to the infrequentness of them...after many blood tests which came back fine, and lots of different scans I was told i had MAYB had mild PCOS....but all results for scans were normal...anyhoo i took metformin which did not really do anything for me...

Now i am 25 years old and have been married for a year...i have been prescribed Clomid and am on my first cycle...I have had my 21 day blood test on monday now fingers and everything else is crossed that something happens...

I dont know whether anyone will have the answer to this but wen should i do a pregnancy test considerin i have no idea how long my cycly is coz i have never had consistent periods??

GOOD LUCK TO ALL....lots and lots of baby dust XxX

Hi little star

welcome to the forum.

I am also 25 and have bee trying for a year due to unexplained infertility. I have finished my 3rd round and am due to start my 4th round on around 27th of this month.

I wish you loads of luck and hope you concieve! I would suggest trying every week or every other week realy. well good luck with trying hun and loads of babydust to you.

Hi wallacex,

No side effects yet but I don't know whether that's just because the dose is too low for me. I was told my progesterone level was 19 (don't know what scale that is) last month and that it has to be over 30 for you to ovulate. Have you been told anything like this?

haylz,

Hope the results are good! Did anything feel different this month? Any positive ovulation signs on the 100mg?

littlestar08,

Welcome, I think you may find that your cycle is pretty short and regular on Clomid. I was having 90 day cycles before I started and couldn't believe it when my first cycle was 30 days, even though I didn't ovulate! If I were you I'd take a test around day 28, good luck.

Many congratulations cheekymonkeywanted, I think it was all the 'baby dust' from the ladies! I have renewed hope today because of you.

hi littlestar u shoold do 1 after day 28 the clomid really sorts ur cycle out mines was exactely day 28 this month wierd 4 me as i usually have a 33 or 34 day cycle oh i have came out in a major rash day ive tane my 3rd tablet not sure if its clomid as its not on side effects this is my 3rd cycle got gyneo in a month 4 a review baby dust to all xxxxxxxx angel u coold stil get 1???xxxxxx

hi new to this site found it great seeing that im not on my own. I started clomid last month day 2 - 6 of my period me and my partner have been trying for 2 years now. i had really bad side effects feeking preg and feeling sick but i thought these syptoms would pass they lasted all month then my period came i was gutted. iv now just taken the last tablet today for the second round, hopefully it will work. I went doctors yesterday thou to see if the syptoms were right for the whole month he just looked in his medical book and said yes, my appointment for my fertility speacialist is not til december should you get monitored on these tablets, cause i just think she has given to me and hope for the best.

Hi ladies, yes im being seen by a fertility team. Ive had blood tests that were normal, a scan that showed cysts on both ovaries that wernt big enough to cause me damage but too small to remove, and then i had the dye through my tubes to check for blockages. I am a nurse an asked the gyne registar where i work if it was normal not to have bloods at 21 days..... he said yes as im havin ovarian tracking???????? Maybe il know more if i come on my period and have the scan.... they might tell me what to do next? Feeling slightly better. Have been havin like a shootin cramp when i walk at the front and i can feel my right ovary working over time. I cant help but feel like this isnt going to work first time round but hay ive had two years of dissapoointments so abit longer wont hurt! haha Hope evryone else is okay. Good luck to all xxxxxxxx

hi vikks
i also hope i have better result this month. i aint had any side effects since taking 100mg. i did get rele bad headaches taking 50mg. dont worry my body just likes 2 play games lol.i think i may have ova this month cause the bottom of my stomach has had a few niggles but nothing much.

will let u no tho. baby dust 2 u all xx

Cheekymonkeywanted.......a massive congrats.. hope you have a fab pregnancy! Baby dust to all and a bit more ofr good luck! x

I was given progestrone tabs to bring on periods and took clomid day 2-6...no major side effects but did have occassional hot flushes

Thanks for your advice angel,vikks and debz! This means that i should test on Monday...am dreading doing the test! I have a hospital appointment on Tues to get results of my day 21 blood test.

I am getting sharp twinges of pain once or twice a day on both sides of stomach but think that am probably over reacting...feeling really negative as can not feel any signs of being pregnant...am an emotional wreck...i start crying over pointless things, i cant control my emotions

I was like that and still am littlestar08. The doc said i was depressed and put me anti anxienty tablets which let me see things for what they were. I was always blowin up at small things like pots not bein washed. This has got to be the moststressful thing in the world. I upsets me mainly because having a baby is what us women are made to do... it seemed at first the most natural thing in the world and now im in limbo havin to take tablets to conceive. Thankfully this site has let me vent to women that DO understand what im going through and no how hard it is. Hope u feel better soon huni and remember ur not on ur own xxxx Baby dust to all xxxx

Hi Ladies,

Cheekymonkey - a huge congratulations - well done indeed!

Vikks - you are correct, you should ovulate between 30 and 70. On 100mg my ovulation was 109 - so my dose has been reduced for that reason - don't feel much different though and am not holding out much hope.

Littlestar - welcome to the forum - i too have PCOS and never in my life since 13 have i had regular periods - but trust in clomid and it does work because on my first cycle i ovulated and had a period with no problemm, though it was 32 days.

Thanks Giselle

I have been reading the threads for a while and decided to join coz like you said every1 understands...i feel so lost ALL the time...i try not to let it get me down but its hard not to... I have never spoken to anyone about my probs even my best friends and it has been hard to pretend am normal...wen every1 talks about that time of the month iv felt close to tears and felt abnormal...right now 2 of my cousins got married same time as me last year, and both are expectin...

My hubby loves kids and it kills me to deny him that i said to him if this doesnt work i will walk away so he can have the happiness of having his own child...

Am sorry I know am venting but this is the first time I have really been able to let it out...almost seems like I have been living a lie...

aw littlestar chin up if the clomid doesnt work 4 u which it probably will theres always ivf etc i felt like that few months ago even sed to ma fiancee same thing he sed he just wants me and if it came to point were we cooldnt av any we woold adopt hes sooo cute love him more 4 that i have 2 friends that have been trying 4 3 years to concieve they are also 25 ive told them to go get bloods to c if they are ovulating but they havent yet im glad i went and saw my doc and found out i wasnt ovulating or i would still b trying with no sucess really hope clomid works 4 every1 as it really sucks getting ur hopes up then getting ur period
ive ovulated both months on clomid which i am pleased abowt hoping this month works 4 me
hope every1 is well
xxxxxxxxx
littlestar my email is [email protected] if u wanna chat or any1 else 4 that matter

Thanks debz...Only a few days to go and then I will know if it has worked...i went shops yesterday to buy one of those first response tests so i could find out before my missed period...its weird am still confused I wont know when to test because i dont know how long my cycle is...if i test day 28 and its negative how do i know that is not just coz my cycle is longer?

Hi all - just chased up for my scan again as getting irritated and want to get started on clomid (doc said to have scan 1st) now been told cant have one yet??? Dont get it my doc said she going to speak to hospital and ask why and if it ok to put me on clomid anyway - just feel like ive been waiting sooo long to get started. Asked if she would just put me on it anyway but she really wants to speak to hospital 1st. Cant understand why i have to have one as it seems lots of you not - did any of you have to have scan 1st??
Sorry to rant on there!!

Littlestar08 - just a note to say just in case you end up like me - im irregular just been diagnosed with PCOS and was testing all the time!! there are tests on internet (access diagnostics site) where tests work out at about 80p and are pretty good ones too

Thanks peju...Before i was put on clomid i had loads of tests including millions of blood tests, MRI scan, 3 ultrasound scans and even a bone density scan...

The tests are so annoying, frustrating and draining...then the other thing is things seem to move toooooooo slow...for example appointments every 3-6months even if it is just for results of blood test...

I feel 4 you....I always hoped i could fast forward

Hi Peju it took 3 months for me to get a HSG scan with the dye. I had already been given the clomid but was told to wait till after my scan before starting it. I was told there is no point in starting incase there was any blockages which can cause an eptopic pregnancy as much as I was very fustrated and also p*ed off I had to look at this realisticley for safety reasons. Also these tests arnt run regularly and have to be at a certain time of the month. I feel for you. I have taken my first month of clomid and going for bloods next Tuesday, lets hope for the best. Congrats Cheekymonkey. Baby dust all round
