Many thanks

hi pinkali
i live in the midlands my af was due last friday, im not getting my hopes up tho as im almost sure im not pregnant especially with the results i had with my bloods.How many sessions do you recommend for the acupuncture.
hows things with you ? xx

Hello All
Not been on for a while. I am stil waiting to start my first round of Clomid...... for the first time in ages i am desperate to come on so i can start these tablets.

I have to to the doctors on day 11, 12 or 13 for a scan. Does anyone know what the docs are going to maybe tell me? I am assuming they will tell me if they have worked and when i am going to ovulate. Is this right?

Good luck to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi all hope your all well.

just thought id see how you all are. I am currently on day 13 after finishing round 5 of clomid. Been going for acupuncture too. It was my 6th session yesterday and the needles were put in even deeper!!! Ouch lol they were also put in my hands too which was a little painful during and after but maybe it will all be worth it. Not looking forward to next session as it seems the more sessions you have the deeper the needles go. How is everyone elses acupuncture and where are the needles being put. I have them in my feet too, dont understnd what hands and feet have to do with concieving lol! Got one final round left of clomid next month and see my consultant in 4 weeks!

Hope it works out for me this month!

Take care xx

teenab "Hello" I would start it as soon as possible. I had a session each week (which did become a little expensive BUT i was at the stage of doing anything). We were also about to start IVF if the clomid didn't work (think someone on here mentioned it). I used to think it was a load of boll*cks (acupunture that is), until the man doing it really explained how it could help and it actually made sense.

I used to have the needles put in my wrists, in my ankles (quite deep, well he would twist them until said owch and then that was the right place apparently), and also once or twice in my head. I didn't have many. I used to really enjoy the sessions because it was me time and I spent the session believing in what he was doing. He was trying to make my womb fertile (like soil in a garden) so that things wanted to grow in it.

I am feeling very well thank you. Have just realised i have put on 2 stone and I have 5 weeks left and just can not believe it. I know how you all feel and I thank god everyday for this special little miracle and I do pray that it happens to every single one of you.

Hi Angel,

I too have been avoided putting messages on this thread as during my second cycle, my emotions were so bad i was getting really down and depressed.

I have finished my third round of clomid and am due to have my period any day now, as for me its now day 30. I had acupunture this time as well and thought what aload of pants, how can it help but i was willing to try anything, so fingers crossed. I had the needles put in my feet, legs, wrists, head, ears and very briefly in my back.

I am due to see my consultant next month, 13 November and will only be on round 4 or 5 by that time, but if the clomid hasn't work its on to the injections for me.

hi everyone havent been on for a while, currently on day 29 so just waiting 2 c what happens. I have had a few cramps n increased discharge but not sure if it means that im going 2 get my period or if im pregnant, guess ill find out cos if i dont get my period by sat then ive got 2 test. Keeping my fingers crossed for us all n loads of baby dust 2 each n everyone of u x

Hi Gem,

Sorry I ahvent been for a while, got my AF on saturday morning and since then I have felt like crying but enoguh of my moaning.

For sweet cravings I normally try to have strawberries, raspberries and kiwis, something about them makes me feel like ive had something nice, have you tried making squah ice cubes, just add a little bit of sugar free squash in your ice cubes and then have them with water, makes it taste better meaning you drink more and eat less. these are the sort of things i find work, failing that a huge bar of dairy milk with caramel!!

I am now on my third and final round of Clomid, i am also taking metformin just in case this helps at all.

My doctor has told me that I will not be able to rely on pregnancy tests alone, he always has said that.

love Katie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh Katie, Im so sorry to hear that but please dont give up hope. Ive heard so many stories about women who have had success after several courses of clomid, and they also say that it happens when u least expect it. I am sure that u will get ur much deserved baby, even if it takes a little longer than u hoped, and i do know the upset and frustration that ur goin through, but do try and stay positive, even though its desperately hard to do so. But a positive mind does help I know u will get there, i really do feel positive for u and I am sending u much love and healing. Remember this-even in the darkest of days there is always a glimmer of hope, and its that uve got to hang onto,

Take care of yourself and im thinking of u,

Loadsa love Gem xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi there,

I was prescribed clomid and got my bloods taken on 12th Sept after my 3rd cycle and doc told me I never ovulated...said something like the results was less than 2.
I was about to start my 4th cycle when the dose was doubled, but found out on sunday that I'm pregnant
I think the reason for this is because I wasn't trying this time due to the fact doc said it wasn't possible this month.
I have done 7 hpt to be sure and they are all positive, just waiting on doc to confirm this!

Please don't give up hope of clomid working, but please dont stress too much i calmed down and now I got my wish!

Babydust for all *

Flynn Fantastic news and another example of how it can work, like with me!

Skates Why are you only tring three months of clomid?

Hiya wallacex, im due to see my consultant the day before you on 12th nov. I think its best not to really post messages on this site otherwise your always thinking about it.

Dont worry wallacex i dont think the clomids going to work for me ither only 1 more rund left. dont believe in it at all. i think GMTV were right lol! What injections are you taking???? Dont understand....xx

Hi Angel,

I agree, I loved the support this site first gave me and the info, plus the comparison as to the effects of clomid as its something the doctors don't seem to be aware of - but then after a while it made me depressed i've kept an eye on the thread and am chuffed that it has worked for some ladies, but at the same time (sorry to be selfish) i can't help thinking how come its not me.

Anyway on to the injections - not sure what they are called, the name is so bloody long - but you inject them daily straight into your pelvic region then you have one final injection which is a HCG injection which makes the ovary release the egg - then your supposed to have sex for the next 2-3 days. They are suppossed to give a better result than clomid but if you can't get them on the NHS then i think it is roughly about £1,000 per cycle as you have to be monitored with scans every week due to size your ovaries could grow to.

Also there is more of risk of multi births with the injections than clomid.

Morning all,

Pinkali - I am only allowed to try 3 months of Clomid, not really sure why my doctor has told me that, he wants to try ovarian drilling after this and then maybe the IVF waiting list, it all seems to be a bit strange to me, why not let me try Clomid for 6 months, 3 months is not long enough for my body to get used to ovulating, i havent even had a day 21 bloods yet!!

Gem - You are right, no matter how much it hurts I will get there in the end, even if that is through adoption. How are you doing, any side effects? Loads of love xxxx

Hi Katie
That does seem strange that ur dr wants to opt 4 surgery so soon, mayb u should tell him that ur not happy with this n want to stay on clomid 4 longer. Hes obliged to listen at least.
Im doing ok, but the headaches r still really bad, and am feeling sick too, altho this could be due to the fact tht i have bronchitis at the moment which is makin me feel horrible!! The worst thing is the antibiotics 4 bronchitis r not suitable during pregnancy and while ttc, so i wont take the risk, just gotta wait 4 my bodies own antibodies to fight it.
How r u finding this round of Clomid? R the side effects as bad as b4?

Oh I was goin to ask, r u on facebook?

Take care love Gem xxxx

Skates77 - I had ovarian drilling a few years ago when clomid, pregesterone and metformin had no effect. It is a really simple op and you don't suffer much and within 3 months I was preg with my DD. Please don't dismiss it if yu can get it done. I wish they'd do it again for me!

Hi Ladies,

I hope everyone is doing ok. I finished my second round of clomid at 100mg back in september. Was due on today, but AF has not come. Did a HPT & it was BFP!!!!!!!!!! Could not believe it. Still in total shock , did not think that it was going to work out this month. Dosen't feel real. I am absolutly over the moon though.

Thanks for all of your support over the last 3 months. I hope it works out for you all & may all your dreams come true.

Baby dust to allxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

any ideas when i start my next round of clomid . its sooooo confussing.

congratulations pixistar great news. we started taking clomid around the same time so theres hope for me yet!!!! xxxx

Pixistar congratulations to you! Its such wonderful news. xxx

Hi Gem,

My bloods are booked for next friday so i will find out when i get the results what we are doing next, after reading up about ovarian drilling and hearing some positive news on here regarding it i think i am a little more comfortable having it done.

Yes i am on facebook, its katie budden im in brighton and hove network, there are quite a few of me so my profile pic is just me with blonde hair and a green top!

i took my last tablet thursday of last week and since then the head aches have been really bad, the worst i have had in the past 3 months definitely, also feel mega hungry all the time, not good!!

lots of love
katie xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hiya Katie
Yeah I found the headaches almost unbearable to be honest, and I dont know about u, but Im so wary of taking anything 4 them. Ive heard that even paracetamol is a no-no if ur ttc, what do u think?

Im glad that u feel more comfortable now about the drilling, maybe it will be the thing to work 4 u, who knows? Fingers crossed also 4 this round of Clomid!

I have my bloods tomorrow (day 21) and im so so nervous coz i dont want to be disappointed. Ive got my hopes up too much but I just cant help it. Ive had some funny symptoms, Sore swollen boobs, and exhausted all the time, but Im probably imagining it.For some silly reason I did a HPT, although I knew it as too early and it came back neg. When is the earliest time to do a test? Is it after day 28?

I hope ur headaches calm down soon-have u tried 4head stick? I fond that can be quite soothing xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi all just thought i would let you all know after 5 rounds of clomid i have finally reached the top of the IVF waiting list. Treatment starts in 2 weeks......So Do happy, no more clomid and straight in at the deep end now.

Wallacex hope your well. the injections your taing are they for IVF too.?????

Hi Girls,

Have not been on for a few weeks, firstly hello to all newcomers...

Congrats to pixistar on her good news...

I am going to start round 3 of the clomid in the next few days...I have very irregular periods...the last one was induced by progesterone tabs in August...

1st Month

50mg clomid no ovulation Progesterone 1.2

2nd Month

100mg clomid no ovulation Progesterone 1.0

I really need alot of babydust and prayers my way...i feel like giving up everyday because of the heartache when it doesnt work...Not to mention the craziness and flying of the handle for no reason....
for example lastnight i said to DH am not talkin to u...he said y? I said because of what you said downstairs...he said what did i say? I said I cant remember but it wasnt very nice...lol

i was listening to myself and thinking u crazy cow...where is the logic in that...ur refusing to talk to him but dont know y
