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 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.

hi ya all just thought i would share my story!!!

i have been trying to concieve for 8 months !!!
was given clomid last month (dec) and took it day 1-5 !!!
i got my bloods taken on day 20 of my cycle and found out i did not ovulate!!!

i was so gutted

my af was due 23rd dec and did not come so as you do you do a test !
i could not beliveve i got two positive tests!!!!!!!!!

i phoned the doc in shock and told her what happened she said as my cycle is 32 days long getting my bloods done on 20 day of cycle would not have shown that i have ovulated!!!!!!

i am still in shock the doc says i am 4 weeks and a few days and i cant take it in!!!!

please stick with clomid its truelly a miracle drug!!!

Natty, I don't know if I replied on this thread or not.

I took clomid for about 5 months last year and became pregnant in Dec now due in Sept. I'm over 40, have one ds 7 and had a mc 3 years ago. I appeared to not be ovulating which is why I was put on clomid.
I'm delighted to be pregnant of course but am not being too confident, I lost my last pg at 9 weeks so I feel hesitant this time!

The best of luck to you, it certainly worked for me!

hi everyone nice to find people to chat too who are going through the same as me..been trying to concieve for four years now found out both my tubes were fully blocked,so had the op to try and unblock them and it worked...i'm now on my forth month on clomid and still no joy only have two months left of trying so fingers crossed...good luck to everyone best wishes xxx

Hi Everyone

I have just found this site and hope that someone will be able to give me some advice. I have been trying for a family for 3 yrs and found out my right tube was blocked. I was give 50mg Clomid and took my first course in Jan. I had my scan on the 10th day and was told to do a test 2 weeks later (which i did this morning) but my period is not due for another 5 days, has any one else been told to test this early or have i just worked it out wrong? I have been given 3 months supply so fingers crossed it might work in the next two months. Would luv to hear from anyone
Good luck to you all xx

catcarvell · 06/02/2008 21:00

hi peanut23...you can take a test normally four days before your period is due hope this helps good luck xxx

peanut23 · 07/02/2008 10:28

hi catcarvell, thanks for your reply, at least i know i done the test at the right time now. Do you get any side effects from clomid? i was very moody and felt sick alot but not sure if it was the tablets or not. Good luck with the next two months hope it works for you x

catcarvell · 09/02/2008 14:07

peanut23 · 14/02/2008 08:58

well i was due my next period on monday but i am still waiting. Dont really wanna do another test as the one i did last week was a no. Has anyone else been this late cos i am thinkin that the clomid may have just messed up my cycle! Any one else had this?

amy2211 · 14/02/2008 21:40

hello im new to this. been trying for baby for 5yrs. had laproscopy due to erratic bleeding, endometriosis was diagnosed. had the op to remove that 6 months ago, felt really positive, but alas no pregnancy since. after complaining again to the doctor for the millionth time in 5yrs, she finally referred me to a fertility expert clinic. they asked questioned my boyfriends sperm count, but he has got 2 kids, so no problem there. i went to this clinic 3pm today and the doctor said he's going to write my doctor a letter telling her to prescribe me clomid..sceptical though would love a baby SO MUCH. but good luck like that just doesn't happen to me. but reading through your stories has made me feel a little more positive, but then this page is called 'succesful' clomid stories... so now im wondering what happened to the unsuccesful ones, and are there many of them.............would love to have faith

please answer if you htink you can advise me in anyway...congratulations to you all xxx

peanut23 · 15/02/2008 10:32

Hi Amy
I was told i have a dipped womb and my right tube is blocked. I am 28 and have been trying for a baby for a few yrs now. I have finished my first cycle of clomid which made me feel sick and moody and i have put weight on (but didnt connect this with the clomid at first untill i spoke to Catcarvell). I am now waiting to start my second course as my preg test was a big no. To be honest i got my hopes up so much after reading everyones comments on various website. Clomid worked for so many people in the first course but i think everyone is very different so dont worry if its not succesfull your first time.
It would be nice to keep up to date with you, Take care and good luck x

catcarvell · 15/02/2008 14:20

hi peanut and amy, my periods have started to be late the past two months think it does mess with them a bit but if you were due on on monday and still no sighn do another test ya never know ya might have got caught or maybe your just stressed...but hopefully not i havn't heard of a period being this late on clomid good luck and keep us postedxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
amy....have faith there are far more success stories than there are unsuccessful...i felt a little discouraged after a few months on clomid but after reading these stories i have hope good things will happen for you try to relax...i know easier said than done...but have faith good luckxxxxxbaby dust to all xxx

amy2211 · 15/02/2008 20:06

amy2211 · 15/02/2008 20:10

dear peanut, thank you for your reply to. wish you all the luck in the world aswell.

peanut23 · 18/02/2008 16:26

Hi Girls
Well i finally started my period which is good as that means i can start my next lot of clomid, however it only lasted 2 days over the weekend!!!!! cant believe how messed up my period is, there is no mention of this in any of the clomid info, but hey at least im on my second course now.
The good news is that so far (touch wood) i have had no side effects like i did with my first course.
Good luck to everyone, keep in touch xxxxx

joanne1973 · 19/02/2008 13:55

Lost a baby when I was 17 weeks pregnant last year.Periods never really came back so just on my first course of clomid. Going for a scan on Mon what will this tell me? Grateful for any advice as i feel like i am going mad x

peanut23 · 19/02/2008 16:54

Hi Joanne

Sorry about your loss. Your scan will tell you when the best time to have intercourse is. I have my scan on monday too which is day 11 of my cycle. Good luck xx

maggiems · 19/02/2008 17:06

Another success story here. My clomid babies (now 6.5) are creating havoc outside on their scooters as I type. It worked the 3rd month for me and I became pregnant with triplets. I lost one virtually as soon as I knew I was pregnant with more than one and now have 2 mad boys.

catcarvell · 19/02/2008 22:51

himaggiems...thats really nioce to here not for the one that you lost but for the two you have i'm really pleased for you just hope wew all have the success story to post on here and give someone else that little glimmer of hope good luck everyone xxxxx
