Many thanks

hi hayley
i am fine but a bit worried about taking provera. i supose to wait till two weeks at least but the DR said because you are not ovulating you can start it doesn't matter at all. i hope it would be aproblem.Have you had a good time in your birthday.

Hi everyone

My name is Lynzie and I have looked at this thread a few times recently because I have been waiting to start my first cycle of Clomid, wouldn't you know it was prescribed on day 6 of my cycle so just too late to start immediately anyway have started it now and as luck would have it have not had many side effects just a few hot flushes and feeling like i have a brick in my uterus I'm on day 9 at the min and was wondering if anyone is at the same stage as me? I don't have any children yet and have been ttc for 3 years, consultant has said DH and I have genuine unexplained fertility so prescribed clomid coz of ttc for so long. Is that unusual?? Sorry to go on but thought I should introduce myself and my story.

Good luck everyone I have my fingers crossed for us all

Sorry last post should have said unexplained infertility

welcome autiemoo
i am on day 8 hun and having flushes but nothing that rele bothers me. have ur gyno said if ur ovulating or not cause they normally give clomid if ur not.
hi zem

hope all gos well

Hi lynzie,

I have too have unexplained infertility. Been ttc for 2 years now well just over. As you will see from my posts i was already ovulating without clomid, but even higher ith it. Clomid didnt work for us. It seems to work for many people who have pcos or other issues where they are not ovulating hence making them ovulate. I am now waiting for ivf in january. Good luck though. A word of advice would be to not get too hooked on these forums. If u scroll down you will see myself and wallacex have stopped coming on as at times it really gets depressing and for clomid to work anyway you cant have that! So good luck, really hope it works for you......Ask me anything if you need to. TC x

Hi Haylz

Yeah gyno said i do ov and can't find any cause of infertility!! Am feeling really hopeful that the clomid will work at the moment so fingers are crossed

Hi Angel

I'm sorry the Clomid didn't work but good luck and babydust for your ivf my fingers are crossed and my prayers will be with you. Will try not to get too hooked and keep a pma, it's just nice to know I'm not on my own.

It seems that because all my family (my generation) got married within 2 years of each other, they have all got babies now and I'm still childless Especially when one of them had been married 3 weeks when she got her bfp I get really jealous but then feel bad for feeling jealous and then I pull myself together and I'm OK I'm hoping that it's not just me and I haven't gone nuts

Hi haylz

Many thanks for your help. normally after one week finish taken provera i bleed but if it doesn@t happen i will ask you to ask you DR please so i am expecting to have period on wensday if it isn't it may be some thing going on. please pray for me. i hope good luck for every one.

Hi Girls

I haven't been on for a while coz was trying to take my mind of things...I just finished third cycle of clomid....progesterone at day 21 is very low and no AF...
I have AF about 1 to 2 times a year and progesterone has been under 1 in all 3 of my cycles...
This cycle I felt i was really pregnant...but my blood showed less progesterone levels shattering my dreams...my cousin who got married 2 weeks before me has had a baby boy lastnight and I was holding back tears...while my DH was oblivious to how i was feeling....I was wondering because my AF is so out of whack is there a chance i could still be pg? It was day 28 yesterday and I havent even bothered to test because its going to make it more real! I feel like il never get there...my sis in law said something like i can imagine what your kids will be like and I almost burst into tears...its so emotionally straining.... sorry to go on but am starting to feel depressed and strained....

Hi Girlies I?m back! It has been ages since I?ve posted anything, but I?m always having a read, I would hate to miss something! OK so I?m on cycle 4, 150mg and got the blood test tomorrow. I?m not hopeful though I?ve been taking ovulation tests and have still never had a positive. Last month I had to start taking Provera because I didn?t come on; I?m starting to think now what?s next? I was told I could only have six months on Clomid, does anyone know what could be prescribed next? I would hate to think to the Doc would just say have a break and then go back on it.
On the whole I think I?ve been coping quite well, although I thoroughly embarrassed myself on a night out recently. One of my friends (who doesn?t know our situation) was talking about his baby son to me and remarked that it took him and his wife ?ages to conceive?. three months!? Well that was it, I just burst in to tears and ran off. Poor bloke he must think I?m crackers!
Baby dust to all, Vik x

Hi Vickks,

Well in answer to your question about what's next. I am on my 6 and final course of Clomid, last cycle i had 7 follicles so they put me down to 50mg instead of 100. when they scan me last week i only have 1 follicle which was only 12mm, not happy, nurse said she don't know what's going on inside me, so i have to go back tomorrow for scan to see if it's still there or not then they will give injection.

Next step for me is 3 cycles of IUI, injecting the sperm by syringe, and 3 goes at IVF. Well i'm leaving it all in God's hands now he will bless me when his ready. Good luck and God bless to us all x

hi girls well my happiness has been short lived. been bleeding for the last few days which turned very heavy yesterday dr thinks possible miscariage !!!! having scan wednesday so will keep you all informed x

teenab im so so sorry 2 have red that i feel so gutted 4 u. please let us no how u get off.

ill be praying 4 u. all the best xx

Hi Angel and other ladies,

Well it seems i have certainly been out of the loop for a while. I had to stay off this sight for quite sometime, it was getting me so down with everyone falling pregnant.

I saw my gyno on 14 November and we discussed the next stage as the clomid didn't work for me (have pcos for those who don't know me) - the next process im told is IUI - we get three free goes, and the waiting list is 3-6 months, so DH and me have decided to pay for a go ourselves as all this waiting is driving me nuts (have been trying for four years this month). So figures crossed as i hoping to start that next month or in January.

Just to share something with you my gyno said - sorry if it depresses you, but facts and figures are a must in this game. The longer you have been trying to conceive naturally without success, the lower your chances (mine being 1%), with clomid the chance goes up to 5%, and with IUI it is 15%. Not sure what the odds are with IVF, but guess that will be even higher.

So im now thinking, why the hell was i given clomid when it only gives a 5% chance.... well it is now day 28 of my forth and final cycle of clomid, which considering my af is between day 32 and 49, im certainly not holding out much hope.

Hello eveyone

I have only posted on here once before when I started my clomid at the beginning of this cycle. Being the first time I have ever taken it I didn't know what to expect but so far so good. I went for my tv scan yesterday and nurse said I had already ov'd and was about to ov AGAIN!!! from other side, so needless to say DH will be getting no peace anytime soon when it comes to fun and frolics fingers crossed (legs not haha) that they catch and stick.......heres hoping

Babydust to all
lynz xx

Hi Angel,

Nice to hear from you - i feel sad for both us but your right again, we seem to be at the same stage, how have you been? Thought that was funny when you called me a silly moo - i will give you both my work and home email as im a 9-5 girl until i start this iui, then my work time will be all over the place - lol, its [email protected] or [email protected].

Cant wait to hear from you xx

Hi everyone,
Not been on here for a while. Had my first round of clomid this month and went for a scan on Tuesday. The nurse said there was one follicle that was 15mm and she thought I would ovulate on Thursday or Friday. She told me to use the predictor tests.
Anyway, there has been no LH surge for me so I guess I have not ovulated. Does anyone know what size the follicle needs to get to and if I could still ovulate in a couple of days or have I just missed it?
This whole process is doing my head in. Feel as if my heart has been ripped out every time I do the test..I am a million miles away from pregnancy...the chance to ovulate would be a massive step!
Good luck to you all

hi hopefulstar, i had my scan today to and the woman said it need to get to 20mm to ovulate. i had one at 14mm and one at 19mm so was told hopefully it should be in next 48hrs. i did opk yesterday and today and neither has shown even the faintest of lines. i know how you feel but i think im going to try and believe the scan than the opk. hope this helps

Hello Everyone

A quick question........ I'm in the midlle of 2ww but have a raging headache and am stuck at work so can't sleep it off, do you think it would be ok to take paracetamol, am on first round of clomid if that makes any difference.

I feel like my head may explode

thanks

not read the whole thread - but I was on clomid for 3 months after trying for 4 years, ds1 came along after the 3 months, then conceived ds2 12 months later, and dd another 12 months after that. It reset me beautifully. Good luck

hi auntiemoo
paracetmol is ok 2 take cause i asked my gyno wen i first started and i suffered the headaches and she said it fine cause wen u r preggy they r the only pain killers u should take. hope u feel beta soon.
baby dust 2 u all xxx

Thanks haylz will take em now

hey haylz, im having scans and blood tests so im not sure.its only for the first round of clomid though and then i go it alone after that. As far as i can tell the scans are just to check they arent over stimulating your ovaries and so they can see if your follicles are growing as they should.
hope this helps,
praying for you to
