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 all - well im on cd22 of my 2nd round of clomid. Had day 21 bloods yesterday but got wait a week for results. Am really hoping this could be my month but think may be getting hopes up.

Have been really tired last couple of days and had some funny feeling in tummy and boobs are starting to ache (think it different to af symptoms as more round nips than at sides - lol!!)

Trying not to get my hopes up tho as it is prob the OB being just round corner. Hating this 2ww it is awful symptom spotting all the time!!

My cycle on 1st round was 31 days so got a while before it worth testing i think and trying to hold off!!

Any one else in their 2ww??

Peju25, I'm in my first cycle, but in exactly the same position. Feeling really tired, sore boobs, strange stomach aches. Worried I'm just imagining it all though cause don't want to get hopes up. Now got 2ww to see what's happening.
It's so frustrating each day waiting takes forever, but the months of no pg are wizzing by too quickly.

Hi All!

I've very usefully started my cylce on the first day of the month for past two months so I always know what cycle day I'm on! LOL
Anyway, that makes this day 17, I had a 31 day cycle last time so I guess I'm due to Ov today, although I think it may have been earlier this cycle due to cramps I felt. Who knows, prob never ov'd at all! The TWW is the worst bit. Knowing something for definate at least has a sense of peace, we just drive ourselves insane between one period and the next (if you even get that!) Sorry, off on one!

Hi All,

Thanks you for your best wishes. I will keep you all posted on my pregnancy. Just thought I'd mention something from my clomid experience. I have a 42 day cycle & was going for blood tests on day 21, this will only be accurate if you have a 28 day cycle. I started my last AF on 1st Sept, went to have a blood test on 22nd Sept (21st was a Sunday). When I rang for my results on the Thursday being 24th Sept, was told I had not OV'd. I was told that because my cycle was longer to go & have another blood test on 6th October. Rang up & found out that I had OV'd at 71 a week later. I must have OV'd around the 28th Sept.

Good Luck & baby dust to all. xxx

Hi Everyone (especially Wallacex!)

Just thought i would post another message on here as nerves are getting the better of me. Wallacex where are you? Lol
For those of you who didn?t know I finished my fifth round of Clomid 50mg roughly 2 weeks ago. To be honest I felt may be Clomid would have worked for me as my monthly cycle was fine and I had unexplained infertility plus I was ovulating above average every month. But I couldn?t have been more wrong as even though my consultant was happy to keep me on it, it just hasn?t worked for me. I have one last round left for October 26th which I will take but I haven?t got my hopes up!!!

On Tuesday I got a letter from the hospital saying I had reached the top of the waiting list for IVF. I was so excited as I had not been waiting long, well 9 months to be exact and 5 months of that were taken over by Clomid so I didn?t have much time to think about IVF. It was more about waiting to see if Clomid would work. I have an appointment with my consultant on 30th October and then 12th November, both discussing the start of IVF and the next step.

Im not entirely sure how I feel though, in a way im really scared and nervous aswell as happy and excited. I have 3 IVF attempts for my area but the whole procedure will be very emotionally draining. I have rad a lot about IVF and rather than siding with just success stories I have read failure stories too as I want to be prepared for both. I hate injections so im really not looking forward to that bit but I guess if this is what we want we have to go through trials for it.

I just made it in for IVF as I was 2lb under the required weight but if anyone has diet tips that could HEEELLLLLPPPPPP over the next week and half please do let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol

Good luck to all of you on this site, I really do wish you all the best and hope all your wishes and dreams come true. I know it?s a hard time for us all but as long as we all stay strong and positive and have faith im sure we will see light at the end of this tunnel!!!! GOOD LUCK!

xxxxx babydust to you all!

wuhooooo!!!!!! how glad am i that i asked for a second opinion. Finally i win my battle to be allowed to try clomid. and also find that at this other hospital the ivf/iui waiting list is only 18months and not the 3 yrs at the other one, yeah!!! not that im hoping we get that far. plus hubby has agreed to have ivf if it comes to that yeah. looks like my life could finally be getting better.

omg im am so happy someone is finally taking me seriously and doing something about it. The only way i will be happy is to get my bfp in the next few months.

Well the day 21 test said not ov'd so I'm back tomorrow for more tests. Never know, could've been late but so far it's been yes, no on a rotation so I'm trying to remember that GCSE Biology..do your ovaries take it in turns to work each cycle? Maybe I've just got one duff one?! Starting to consider forking out for IVF but not sure where the money would come from?!

hi

hi every one i have just finish taken clomid 100m aday and my doctor has scan me yesterday, she said i am not ovlulating and she advice me to come back on next tuesday.

I've got a question. As a child in biology lessons, I thought that to have a period you had to ovulate. Can I still have my period, but not ovulate?
I started on clomid last month after ttc for 18 months, really thought it would work but just started AF today. I was positive I ovulated and that I did everything right. Thought I knew my body so well but how wrong I seem to have been.

hi loobloo
yes u do have a period b4 u ova cause they say u ova around day 21 but it all depends on how long ur cycles r but u can also have a period and not ova at all. isnt ur gp or gyno sending u 4 bloods on ur 21 day.
hope this helps. baby dust 2 u all

Hello Ladies,

It's my first time on here and i have been encouraged by the many messages that i have read. I was diagnosed with PCOS last year and was prescribed Clomid. I am now on my 5th cycle of 50mg.

On my last scan i was told i had 7 follicles, 4 on one side and 3 on the other, the smallest being 19 and the biggest 25 in size. i thought this would give me a great chance of conceiving, but the nurse told me that i could not have the injection as there was a risk of multiple births, to say i was gutted was an under statement. The nurse also told me not to have sex and wait till my period started, then start on the next course where i would only be given 1 tablet aday instead of 2 (not good). Of course i did not take her advice and was on the case every other day. Supposed to come on this Saturday, wait and see and hope for the best. Quite a few of you stated that you have your bloods taken after each cycle? Can someone explain this, as i never get my bloods taken, once my period starts i just go to the hospital for a repeat prescription of clomid.

God bless & good luck to everyone

Hello,
I am new to this. I came off the pill last year and havent had a period for 11 months....has anyone else had a similar problem?
Got diagnosed with PCOS and am starting clomid next week...once I have induced a bleed. It still all feels very surreal to me to be in this position as I used to have periods before I went on the pill 10 years ago and always assumed that I would be ok...how wrong you are.
Anyway, any advice on positive stories would be much appreciated.

hi julzes
the bloods r taking on day 21 of ur cycle to check ur progrestrone level which can tell u if u have ova. my gyno said anything over 30 says u have ova but all docs tell u diff.
how come u been taking 2 tabs while on 50mg cause they r 50mg aint they.
im due on 2moz so i got everything crossed

Hi Haylz,

Thanks for explaining about the bloods, it's clear now. I don't know why they have not been doing it, i will have to ask them next time i go in. What i meant to say was that i am on 100mg, this whole process get's me a bit confused sometimes. Not looking forward to my last course of clomid, i'm not convinced it will work, they said next step is IUI. Fingers an toes crossed x
