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 everyone and welcome hayzee.
How is everyone doing? I'm feeling really fed up today and fat!! I don't know about you guys but I can't stop eating!! Is anyone else like that? I am constantly hungry and all I want to eat is crap food! I've never eaten more sweets and chocolate in my life and I just can't stop myself from doing it, it's like i've got no will power what so ever!!
Like you vikks I've got spots too. Fat and spotty!! Bet DP finds me very attractive!!! Not!
I'm just playing the waiting game now, I'm on day 28 of 2nd cycle of clomid and cause I don't have regular cycles I don't know when to test. I feel a bit crampy (as well as cranky!) as if AF will come but who knows?
I'm going to an IVF open evening on Wed with DP which is the first step on the IVF ladder so I'll let you know how we get on.
Hope you're all feeling ok and not too stressed out (like me!!).
Take care everyone xx

Jonah's girl - have you got PCOS? If so it might be worth asking for Metformin which helps regulate blood sugars. I crave tons of sweet stuff if I'm not taking metformin or the contraceptive pill! It's part of the problem with PCOS that makes you eat loads and gain weight but that just makes the cravings stronger. Anyway, just a thought...you could, of course, just fancy chocolate!

Hi im new to this and my doctor gave me clomid today to take on my nxt period. When do i take the pregnancy test should i take it b4 my nxt period after the clomid or just wait to say if my period shows up

Hi MWmum thanks for your advice. I haven't got PCOS but I do have 2 cysts on my right ovary which I've had since I was 19 but they've never caused me any major trouble. I will probably mention it to my doctor when I next see her. What dose of metformin do you take and how often?
Welcome xTINKSx. If I were you I'd wait until your next period is due, either on that day or just after, before taking a test. If it's BFN and AF doesn't show up I'd wait a week before re-testing, otherwise you'll end up spending a fortune on pg tests! Good luck!

Hi!
Think it's 500mg X 3 a day. I try and take one with each meal. Recently remembered that I was taking Oil of Evening Primrose when I conceived my DD too! Started taking it again, I read somewhere to take it from start of cycle up to day 14. I don't pretend to know why but it can't really hurt I suppose and I did conceive the first time I tried that way back when! Could be coincidence of course.

hi i was perscribed 3 months worth of clomid last year. i concieved on the 2nd month and now i have a beautiful girl who is 6 months! so good look

hi all not sure how i feel today went for a scan today she said that she can see follicles on left and right ovaries but not sure if its my pcos, so got to go back on monday to see if they have grown cos they are about 9 0r 10 if they have grown then they will give me my injection so im none the wiser really. But she seemed hopeful as she said all my womb lining is measuring up ok according to me being on day 11 so maybe everything is as it should be

hiya everyone.
Iam new at this but have been reading this page for a while. we have been ttc for 18/12. I didnt have a period for a year before gp sent me for tests. I have pcos and endometriosis (sorry about spelling) I am just about to take provera so that i can start my 3rd lot of clomid. They have incrased it to a 100mg as second time didnt work at 50mg. Spots have got worse also hot flushes. Finding it difficult to stay positive at the mo.
Good luck everyone xxx

Hello everyone
this is my first time on here. Its nice to speak to people who are feeling the same as me.
I am due to start taking Clomid on my next peroid. I have been prescribed 50mg - im trying to be positive but its hard. hmm Does anyone have any tips?

Hi KatieLou,

Welcome to the thread, also welcome to Flo . My tips when taking clomid would be not to get obsessive about it, it will only end up stessing you out! Please try to stay positive. I know that is easier said then done. When I first started to take clomid I got obsessive about it & let it take over my life. It ended up making me feel so stressed & depressed. I felt like I had lost control of doing day to day things & that it was all about TTC. I also try to remember that everyone's experiences with clomid are different. Different doctors ways of doing things & different side effects. Stick to what you gyne/GP told you & if you have any concerns or side effects that you arent sure about then call them, after all that's what we pay NI for. I know that on this thread we are all in the same boat & are very supportive. I'm not knocking any of us when I say this but my one bit of advise is not to read to may forums, some of them can make you feel very negative & confused (that's my experience anyway). Luckily on this thread we have had a few sucsesses lately .

hi everyone,
had a weird weekend went to supermarket on friday when i got home there was a pregnancy test in the box then went back to the same supermarket today and this lady came straight up to me and said that my life would be ok and so would my health then she said to me that i was expecting a baby so i should look after myself. VERY STRANGE i just looked at her like she mad and she just walked off.

anyway ive got my scan tomorrow to see if my follicles have grown since friday (lady must have been nuts as not ovulated yet).

good luck and loads of baby dust to everyone on here

thanks pixistar.

fingers crossed and good luck to all
:-)

Hayzee - good luck for your scan tomorrow.

hi this is my first msg on my 3rd course hot flushes are crazy i have pcos which they found out on my first scan still not preg but all msg give me hope side effects are a bit crazy with weight gain nippy and hot flushs but will be worth it in the end i hope

had scan yesterday my lining had increased from 5.5 to 9.5
my follicle had grown was 9/10 is now 13.9 so ive got another scan booked for tomorrow to see if it has grown anymore

babyflush - ive got pcos so i know how you feel but good luck

Hi all,

Havent been on here for about a month now as i think it gets me down by making me think about the problem even more. But anyway had a blood test last week and got my results yesterday. Ovulation was at 50.5 this month compared to 30.5 the month before. I am due to start my fifth round of clomid this week. And in november i go to see my consultant. Good luck to you all.

hi everyone
had my scan this morning looks like ive got 2 follicles instead of one and are 16.6 and 17 so got to go back tomorrow to have my jab so fingers crossed i will get pregnant over the weekend

good luck to you all x

Hi everyone,

Havent been on for a while, bit annoyed really.

Was supposed to have my day 21 bloods last friday but had to cancel as was certain my AF was on its way only to wake up and it not be there, that was a week ago so i am due on tomorrow.

Hayzee good luck over the weekend, 2 follicles is great news!

xx

Skates, let's hope it doesn't come then!!! Then you can think bugger day 21 blood tests!

Hi All, got day 21 blood tests today, I ovulated but the tests said I wasn't pregnant. I'm not sure if there's still a chance cos the test was early or if I'm just kidding myself! Suppose I'll have to wait and see!

Hi everyone, Im new to this, but i found your messages when i typed in Clomid on google. I took taken my first ever clomid tablet this morning, and i just cant settle. I cant sleep, which is why im out of bed and on the computer now!! I just want to be a mum so much, and Im hoping and praying that Clomid will help me do that. I was recently diagnosed with pcos, and have quite a complicated background. I developed anorexia and bulimia 4 years ago, n nearly died. I was on the pill at the time but, even after stopping it, my periods stopped and i didnt have one for 3 and a half years, despite returning to a healthy weight. It was then the drs discovered I had pcos. Since this I have put on quite a lot of weight which I am finding hard to deal with. I was put on a month of the pill, to produce a period, and am now on clomid (and praying) It was so nice to read all your messages and to know that im not the only one with problems (I feel like such a failure) If anyone has any advice at all to increase my chances i'd be so grateful. Im not even sure, with the clomid, when my most fertile time is, all i know so far is that im having a blood test in 21 days to check for ovulation. Sorry for going on so much, im just feeling like theres no hope 4 me, after what i put my body through. Love and best wishes to all the ladies on here xxx

Welcome GemmaLouise, I wish you all the luck in the world for your much desired baby, you deserve it.

My AF is not here yet so fingers crossed!!!

Hi Girls

I have not been on for a few weeks i guess i have been trying not to think about it but feeling really down today as just found out that i have not ovulated for the second month.

I was feeling nauseous, had back pain and hoped that i might be pregnant but yesterday dreams were shattered as 21 day test came back as 1.0.

Pinkali- I was reading your earlier post and you mentioned that you had low progesterone for first few months and then it jumped up, are your periods really irregular? I hardly ever have a period!

Lots of baby dust to all....

Littlestar ... ditto! My second month showed my P was 1.0 (which devastated me and i just saw the months counting down), however my 3rd month still on 50mg it jumped up to 67 and this was the month I conceived! I still have a cupboard full of 100mg clomid for months 4, 5 & 6 as I pre-ordered them as i thought there was no hope on 50mg. SO MORAL OF STORY, stay positive and keep doing it! I really do know how you feel.. x

Thanks Pinkali,

you have really lifted my spirits are your periods irregular to?

Thankyou skates, thats really kind of u to say that. Im keepin my fingers crossed 4 u-keep me posted. How long have u been ttc? If u dont mind me asking? And have u been taking clomid 4 long? x
