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

Hiya all - well i went to see doc on friday and she agreed to let me start clomid, feel so glad to be starting to try something now!! Taking it day 2-6 (but 3-7 this month as got it on day 3!!) No blood tests this month she said to wait until next month. Have not had much by way of side effects at all - is this good??
One q my cycle is between 28 and 42 days - when would i be likely to ov - normal time or will it be earlier with the clomid?? dont want to miss any opportunities!!

Morning Ladies,

I have to wait at least 3 days for my results, they do give me mine over the phone most of the time for other stuff so i would imagine they would for this too, they did when i was at 1.2 anyway.

On second day of second course and i have a headache and a period pain but other than that i am doing ok, feeling a lot more cheerful about things and realised that i should not get me hopes up but it is hard not to.

Peju thats great news, im doing mine 3- 7 this month too as i only got the all clear tyesterday.

Chelle thats great news about ovulating, i hope this month is the month for you

Hi Girls,

Hope everone is doing well? A big welcome to all the newbies

Well after my first round of clomid 50mg no ovulation and no AF (my periods have always been irregular, once or twice a year)my progesterone was 1.2 at day 22. I had app with gyno on day 30 and my blood was taken again, i was advised advised if my progesterone came back low i could start to take Clomid double the dose at 100g...i checked my results yesterday and apparently progesterone was less than one I was hoping that I might have just had a longer cycle but I guess not...am a bit concerened that I have been advised to take the clomid without an induced bleed...has anyone else done this?

Baby dust to us all

Hiya Little Star, my first attempt at 50mg failed and the specialist made me do a pregnancy test, when he confirmed it was negative he sent me home with a double prescription.
I took them as advised and that started my cycle off, although it was always long like 38-40 days, used to go for bloods on day 28.
I was successful on my 6th cycle.

Lots and Lots of Baby Dust to you all.

Sorry girls ment to say went for my blood results today and have ovulated, Im not special or lucky it takes a week for me to get my results as well. Sorry for the slip up. Due on on Friday lets wait and see. Big baby hugsd chelle xxxxxx

You definitely ovulated!

Hi girls,

Unfortunatley, started another period, all the heartburn and backache must of been the clomid, oh and the mood swings, me and my husband are just falling out all the time, he works away and im paronoid hes going to leave me , not been able to give him a child scared he will meet someone else, really down at the minute, my family and friends mean well , just dont understand, is it the clomid making me feel like this.
Love to all Marcy xxx

Marcey - and they are all perfectly normal feelings. I was exactly the same. I felt like I had failed as a woman and a wife. I thought I was jinxed that the one most natural thing in the world I couldn't do. The problem is, it becomes a vicious circle, the more you feel like that, the more you will act strangely which in turn will and we have to be honest it does do things to our relationships but that is to be expected. My best advice would be to sit your husband down and talk about it. There is nothing worse than it building up inside you (trust me). My second advice is to do what I did at the point when I had given up all hope; I relaxed. (even left my job as a solicitor) I took time out from calculating, noting every change in my body etc.. (you know what I mean?), i did some acunpuncture, DH and i went away for a long weekend and made it about us not about making babies, we drank copius amounts of alcohol (which ordinarily i wouldn't, esp not whilst trying to conceive) and you never guess what; I fell pregnant (we think we conceived on Valentines night!!). Life is sometimes crap to us, but you have to battle through and remember your husband married you because he loves you NOT because he saw you as a baby making machine!

My baby is a miracle, I have severe endometriosis and endometriomas, i don't ovulate and my husband had a vasectomy some 15 years ago and had it reversed 1 year ago when we were told he only had 33% good ones. I was told my a professor of IVF that I would never conceive naturally.

I really do know how you feel, but I also now know that I could never have imagined being pregnant and thought it just wasn't meant to be, alas I am pregnant and have 10 weeks left and every single day I thank god for our miracle. Just think, when it does happen, how special that little person will be to you and your DH.

How many rounds of clomid have you been on?

I wish you all the luck in the world but remember babies are not made when mummies are stressed!!!! RELAX, take time out and you never know what could happen!

Hi all,
Me and my hubby are trying for a baby over 11/2yrs. I am 34+ with no luck so far. I have irregular period & had serveral tests:LAP,HSG & tube dye. Evrytng was fine but only problem is I'not ovulating.

Now I have started taking colmid tablets(50g) and this is my 1st cycle and day 17 2day. I have 2 follices grown on my left side ovary but still not ovulated yet. My right ovary was quite but now 1 follice started to grow. Nurse told me that I have 2 wait until next cycle & then they will give me hcg drug to trigger the egg.

Does anyone have same problem as me?
Which food can increase da ovaulation?
Can you help????.....

Hi everyone

I've just found a good website called babymed.com that has loads of information about taking clomid and answers lots of questions we all might have.

It also has a clomid ovulation calculator were you put the date in of when you took your last tablet and it works out when you can expect to ovulate and which are your most fertile days.

Check it out on...
babymed.com/tools/fertility/clomid/

Hope it's useful

Take care xxx

Thankyou again xxxxMarcy

HI Marcy,

I will definitely email you. It's always nice to talk to people who know exactly how you feel. I sometimes felt like I was in competition with other people as to who could get pregnant first, silly really.

I actually got it wrong, my DH had his vesctomy reversal in Sep '06 not '07.

Hi

I have a really dumb question...first month i was on 50mg tabs, this is my second month and i was told to take 2 tabs...I have been taking them separately..morning and evening but i was thinking maybe i should be taking them together? can anyone help with this?

Firstly, Shaddy, i'm so very pleased for you, i know how surreal it feels when it finally works!

Secondly, Littlestar, it does make me wonder why some Gp's are not willing to let 50mg work. I was told by my consultant (V high up inhis field) to try 50mg for 3 months and then move up to 100mg for last 3 months. My first 2 didn't work but on my 3rd month (and already had prescription to move up to 100mg) it worked! If you have been told to up your dose, they should be taken together to make 100mg!!!!

Congratulations Shaddy, thats great news, hopefully there will be a pregnancy for all of us very soon

xxxxxxxxx

congrats that is great news!!!!

I hope i can join you eventually - finished 1st round of clomid 3 days ago so gonna make sure get lots of fun in!!!
Just not sure when (or if) i ov as my cycle so mixed up im usually anywhere between 28 days to 45.

Well done again!!

thanks pinkali37

I will take them together...my progesterone was only 1.2 after taking the 50mg tabs hence the reason it was put up

Littlestar - My progesterone in 1st month was unrecordable, 2nd month 1.0 and 3rd month still on 50mg 67! By the first month not working it doesn't mean a 2nd on the same dosage won't. Anyway, i wish you luck. Be a little wary though if GP puts you up again to 150mg for 3rd month!!

Peju, Clomid should help regularise your cycle (it won't be perfect cos mine wasn't). My consultant recommended; abstain from day 10 to eve of day 12, then do it as and when you want all the way through to day 17-20 (depending on how you feel). In fact the month I got pregnant my DH suddenly decided he felt like a robot so we were doing it less often. Think it was eve, morning, then the next days eve and so on (if that makes sense).

Hi Pinkali

Just another question for you...I have taken 2 tabs yesterday one in the morning and one in the evening and have taken one in the morning today...if i take one this evening around 8pm do you think it would be ok to take tommorows 2 tabs at 4.30am? or should i wait till the evening? Dont want to overdose

Hi Littlestar,

I was on 50mg of clomid which was increased to 100mg this cycle finish last tab tomorrow. I've been taking 2 tabs together. I hope this helps.x

Hi guys,

Hope you're all well.

Still no luck on the baby front!! I guess it's just not gonna happen.

I'm trying to focus my energies elsewhere but it's not going too well.

Best of luck and babydust to you all. Hope you have more luck than me!!

SHADDY, many congratulations with your pregnancy, you've given us all a little bit more hope today.

I needed cheering up today, I'm so desperate to come on so I can start taking my 100mg. I think my body is playing tricks on me, I feel like I'm on. I'm definitely not pregnant and my Doc thinks this is the month I'll ovulate. I've never wanted a period so much..... maybe tomorrow.

Shaddy
You have given us all so much hope. I LOVE to see women get that happy ending were all hoping and praying for. Good luck girls and keep your spirits UP. I've been re-reading "The Secret" and the whole law of attration. We have to KNOW we will get pregnant, not HOPE or worry we won't.
DH and I have been having our fun as well, and he too is feeling like a robot LOL. They complain but I'm sure they LOVE it.
Best wishes and baby dust to all!
