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

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.

Thankyou!

Hello, I have taken my first Clomid today and these messgaes have been really helpful and calming! However I an unsure as to many of the abbreviations, pcos, ds, dd4, dd1 etc? Please can someone help?

PanicPants · 31/08/2007 21:44

pcos = polycystic overy syndrome
ds = dear son
dd = dear daughter

the numbers are the number of the ds or dd in your family

Hope that helps and good luck!

My friend concieved within 3 months after starting clomid. she now has a beautiful little girl.

Roller21 · 03/09/2007 07:48

Thanks for that, it's all starting to make sense!

Hi, I was on Clomid for 6 cycles and we were about to give up and think of adoption - am now 17 weeks pregnant on last but one set of tablets! All the best to everyone trying - I so feel for you and remember so clearly the frustration and hopelessness of the situation...but it isn't!!!!

BTW I'm 39 so time was starting to run out it felt like.

nuttynat33 · 10/09/2007 21:40

Hi, i have PCOS and when i had tests they said i realeased an egg one month but didn't the next, i have started clomid 50g today
as it has been 2 and a half year i have been trying

as of yet no side effects, who knows in the following days!

been reading all these sucsess storys and it's looking good , made me feel better anyways :-))

not too sure why the cod wants to see me in 6 months time mind, i thought they would monitor you inbetween taking these tablets .
i only know that i have to go on day 21 for my bloods, and if the 2 month worth i have don't work , just ring them up to get more.

arent they meant to monitor you inbetween all this?

good luck everyone else

hey,
i have PCOS, wasn't ovulating naturally and so was prescribed Clomid. i conceived on cycle 4 of clomid (i am now 23 weeks preggers). The blood test you mention will test for progesterone levels and if they are raised above a certain level you did ovulate. in my experience if all is well you'll be left to get on with further cycles, and if the dose you are on doesn't work they can up it for future cycles. i did also have lots of scans with the first cycle to make sure the ovaries were playing along and weren't over stimulated.

despite excellent care at the fertility unit i was under i found the whole think quite emotional. if this happens with you do stick with it and don't loose hope - i had to wait until cycle 4 (i'm not very patient at the best of times) but it's all worked out thus far and i can't wait until Jan when baby is due to appear.

the very best of luck to you, take care of yourself

nuttynat33 · 14/09/2007 15:03

hi ste, congratulations to you and your family. i admit im very impaitent to :-/

flosspot · 24/09/2007 11:25

Hello all-

I've been on Clomid since February for PCOS. DH and I have been trying for two years to conceive. My cycles had always been very long, but stepping up to 100mg started to bring them down. I got pregnant on cycle 2, but mc a few weeks later. I've just got a BFP on cycle four.

It's naturally early days, but you asked for success stories. And this is mine!!

AASHIJI · 25/09/2007 09:56

hi Danielle and all ladies
my name is Aashi and after 12 years of trying(PCOS) with 2 IVF and misscarriaged both times, anyway first time after so long (i am 33 now, with no child so far) doctor put me on clomid 50mg to help me get pregnent because all my life i was thinking that i have both blocked fallopean tubes from last 12 years, some gynacologist told me after some check up but now when i had check again with laproscopy, i have been told that my both fallopean tubes and fine and healthy, no blockage what so ever but i do have bad POCs, so gynacologist gave me clomid and to my surprise after just taking one set of clomid 50mg, i got pregnent within first month in July, i wasnt expecting that however unfortunetly i misscarriaged on week 11th, in scan there wasnt any heart beat showing and it had stopped growing, well i had to have surgery to remove the pregnancy sack with the baby, but i am hopefull now atleast that i may get pregnent again, so if i can get pregnent than anyone can, trust me. love to all.

Betty22 · 18/10/2007 22:23

Hello! We had been ttc for two years and finally plucked up the courage to do some tests. Hubby was fine but I wasn't ovulating and was prescribed 50mg of clomid. I conceived on the first go as i felt more relaxed in my head and we have a lovely boy who will be a year old in two weeks. No side affects and a grand pregnancy! It does work and we are trying again naturally now so fingers crossed xxxx Good luck to you too!

nuttynat33 · 27/10/2007 14:30

Hi tis is my 2nd month on clomid now, i was on 50mg but the test said i hadn't ovulated

feeling like it's never going to happen

sambrads · 12/11/2007 09:34

thank you xoxo

SummerC · 12/11/2007 10:36

Hi Natty,

I was diagnosed with PCOS 6 years ago and my husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for almost 3 years. I was given a 6 month supply of clomid and had my first cycle at the beginning of March. I landed in hospital two weeks later to an emergency appendectomy and was shocked when I did a pregnancy test (well 3 actually) at the beginning of April and had a positive result. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but it worked for me on the first try and I'm now 36 weeks pregnant.

Just be prepared for the side effects. I had horrible headaches, hot flushes and just generally felt like shit for the month of March. Be prepared, keep your fingers crossed and stay positive.

Good luck!
Summer

DungunGirl · 28/11/2007 14:44

Hi ladies

I have suspected PCOS. My 21 day bloods revealed low progesterone and high testosterone.

Am going to have one more testosterone check before GP perscribes Clomid.

I am desperately trying for my 2nd baby, and reading all these success stories is getting me really excited! I can;t wait to get the treatment going!

You are all great inspirations!

Rangali · 01/12/2007 21:12

Hi
Just found this website. New to all this. Have one gorgeous son, almost 3. Been trying for a second bambino for over 2 years. GP said relax, eventually we were sent for tests. Hubby ok! I've had lap and dye, scans, ultrasounds and all ok except not ovulating. (Fell first month with my son). Now on my first cycle of Clomid. Had high hopes of it working but from reading through I may be in for a shock! Had my injection Friday so kinda busy this weekend!
Doc says 3 months on Clomid then IUI but as we have gone private (due to our ages and local waiting list length) we have decided just these 3 months and thats it! Really great to read other's experiences. I know we are fortunate to have one child but I REALLY didn't want him to be an only child as neither my husband or I are. Here's hoping to some good news this Xmas!

waiting4amiracle · 09/12/2007 07:12

Hi everyone, it is so comforting to know there are other women experiencing what I am experiencing with trying to get pregnant. I hope someone can give me some helpful information. My doctor put me on 50mg Clomid on days 5-9 in October. I thought I would be prenant by now or he would have increased my dosage. My progesterone level was 0.42 and increased to 9.6 after taking clomid. I was under the impression that I was suppose to continue taking clomid until I became pregnant. I used an OPK test but it never showed me that I ovulated but then my progestrone test showed that I did ovulate. I am so ready to be a mom. I'm 29 and my husband and I have been trying for almost 3 years. Any information would help me.

DungunGirl · 14/12/2007 14:22

Well...I am confused. My 2nd blood test came back with normal testosterone levels. However my GP still wants me to take more tests!

Anyone had this happen?

I am being booked in for an ultrasound scan in January to look at my ovaries.

I am sooooo tempted to just order some clomiphene citrate ( CLOMID ) off the internet and get things moving already!!!!!

lard1 · 12/01/2008 04:03

Hi I was prescribed clomid in 2001 as i don't ovulate. I fell pregnant the second month of using it. Have just been prescribed again to try for second child. Good luck.
