TTC - Clomid V -

[jobobpip08]

Oh no! I used up the last comment, I think! Here goes, hope this works, industrial strength babydust to one and all!

Hi
Sorry, to hi-jack, but can any of you experts help me out? I'm having a panic and the consultant's secretary isn't there to answer the phone.

hi ozziesmom what an awful reaction to clomid. Can't help you with either question I'm afraid, but you're more than welcome to join us.

brassica I think it can be a side effect, (the internet search of clomid side effects says for 1% it can cause irregular bleeding)its not happened to me but hopefully one of the lovely ladies here will be along to reassure you. Definitely pester your consultant till you get an answer. And yes, if you were already spotting the sex may have irritated your cervix abit.

Babydust to both of you

Ozzie sorry you've had a bad reaction - the first one |I think we've met on here.

Brassica I've had irregular bleeding once I'd finished clomid but no pregnancy. 8 months later & still trying to cope with the excessive bleeding! All scans & blood tests show that all blood cells are normal & linking of cervix is normal!!!

Oh wow Pops a boy!!!!

I'm just lurking on here as it's getting harder with all the bleeding, feels like I can reach my dream...

Thanks guys. I need the virtual hug today. I'm def in the bleeding category now rather than spotting. I've also got a grinning opk, which I can't normally muster, but a low unfertile position cervix. Add that to not being able to raise the consultant and I'm driving myself quite mad!!

Shit, sorry Ozzie! Too self absorbed today . Sorry about your awful side effects. I hope the next meds are better for you x

Hi everyone,I've been ttc for 2 1/2yrs have secondary infertility and have been charting my temp since conceiving DD four years ago. currently on clomid on cycle three at the mo. had three Mc two before DD and one after. Feeling quite stressed and anxious about it all so booked some acupuncture sessions to try and chill me out! Desperate to feel like I'm doing something.

hi plumblusher, similar story here but ttc for 6 yrs and have secondary infertility and on 3rd round of clomid 100mg. DD is 12yrs just learn to go with the flow otherwise life will be miserable gud luck on aupuncture.

Stac I forgot, how long did it take you to get pg on Met? I'm on day 20 (longer cycle than of recent times) but today I started to get watery blood/spotting. Too heavy for a panty liner but not really a towel needed, IYGWIM.
I don't feel pg...

Hi everyone, hope you are all well :)

On round 4 of clomid 100 mgs now wondering if it will ever work for me. DH reckons I am worrying too much and should relax more....wish I could!

Ozzie - That is insane and I thought that the headaches weight gain and night sweats were bad!

Supersunny - At last you can take the tablets! My DH is sticking to a max of 3 pints, the doctor said that as little as 3 can mess up your sperm count for 100 days, i have gone with the theory that doctors always play it a bit too safe, so 3 pints it is.

fairy it took 2 months in fact i conceived this month, i had spotting for weeks kept thinking it af. Hows the weight loss going? X

Hey all, I haven't been on this thread for a while because I started driving myself a bit insane about ttc and whether I'll ever get pg again. We saw the cons last week who was v suprised that 100mg of clomid hadn't worked and has put me on metformin which I have to take for at least a month before I try the clomid again. Mentally it's been good to have to take a break and I'm trying to use the time to get a bit healthier and lose some weight.

plumblusher i had some acupuncture during my last cycle of clomid and while it didn't help me conceive it definitely helped me to feel less stressed.

supersunny - glad you can take clomid soon. Are you starting with 50mg? I found I had minimal side effects on 50mg but I've had really bad headaches and v sore boobs (sorry, prob tmi) on 100mg

hi supersunny soz i havent posted much as i had my much tried for dd 14 weeks ago. Best bit of advice i was given was to take clomid at night it lessens the side effects. How was the test?

really think everyone has felt that way at sometime. Ttc seems to overtake your life, but at least you can come and go as we all know how you feel

to everyone else, how are you all? X

Stac the spotting has stopped again today. What's going on????

Hi Supersunnyday, relax is the last thing you can do & it takes time to calm down. 2 weeks time & it'll be the 3rd anniversary of us deciding to try for a baby & we still don't have one!!!!I'm more relaxed than I used to be but can still get myself worked up & addicted to google!

Hey Really grumpy you can join my Mets club!!!

fairy i spotted on and off for about 5/6 wks, i had no idea i was pg and kept cramping so assumed af was on its way. Did your bleeding stop after the last time?

really i didnt get to take clomid again when i was taking the metformin as i fell pg before i took clomid and i know you were the same before. its a good thing to get a break from clomid too

super dd is amazing and tiring but i wouldnt have it any other way. Sorry it was bfn hun, you'll get your l.o. When do you see the cons? What monitoring are they giving you? I had cd 21, cd 28 and cd 35 to check hormone levels. X

Stac I'm full on af today so made it to 3 weeks without bleeding so mets is working. Lost a few ponds again this week so edging closer.

Super I need a BMI of 29 to get IVF but hoping the mets will work!!!

Hi everyone, quick update from me. I am still on the neverending cycle (CD53 today) and can't book my HSG till my period starts. Getting very fed up waiting and feeling like I'm in limbo. Just want to move forwards and feel like I can't just now. Did POAS just in case and BFN (no surprise there). Am still having acupuncture and enjoying it. She did a point that she hopes will get my period starting in my session this evenng so fingers crossed that will get things moving. In the meantime if anyone has any "how to get your period to start" tips then please share them!!

Plan to do something where you can't go if af is here - ooh & white jeans lol!!

I wish I could help...been there before.

highheels I think best knickers and white jeans are your best bet for encouraging af

fairy is the met helping with weight loss? I'm only on 1 tablet per day this week and I'm taking it in the eve so the side effects aren't too bad but I think when I'm taking 2 tablets next week and 3 the week after I'll probably feel a bit grim... I'm just hoping it will kick start my dodgy ovaries into actually producing an egg!

Supersunny - Chilling out about it is really hard especially when all your friends seem to be preggers!!! Good luck with the clomid not long to wait now :)

Highheels I find running brings mine on, as fast as possible and for as long as I can, also takes my mind of everything for a while.

Reallygrumpy with you on the headaches on 100 mgs and painkillers don't work, I seriously had the worst headache last night I think I have ever had without a hangover! On day 9 now and the hot flushes seem to have stopped and no headache today so looking up!

Hello to everyone else xx

highheels- a more sensible suggestion is if af doesn't arrive soon you could go to your doc and ask them to prescribe progesterone tablets to bring on a bleed. I think you have to take them for 10 days and then that should bring on a bleed. Hope that helps!
