First clomid pill popped last night

[clomidhelpneeded]

After more than a decade of fertility problems/miscarriages and then 2 miracle kids, we are embarking on our last ditch attempt for #3. It may be greedy, it may be foolish but we would love to have a bigger family. i don't seem able to get pg without intervention so clomid has been prescribed again.

If it doesn't work then I think we will finally have closure on a very long fertility journey. Even if it DOES work then it will be another miracle if I can hang on to the pg. I have had 7 m/c over the years.

We are very very lucky to have our 2 dcs but fingers crossed the lucky pills have one more dose of baby dust inside.

yes joycep - mine was day 21 !! It can effectively set you back the number of days youtake it
my nurse said if no sign day 23 give her a ring!

Oh Capiche I really hope it doesn't turn into full AF for you - I had light bleeding at 5/6 weeks preg with DS and all was fine so keeping my fingers crossed for you. Thanks for the 4dpo spotting info.

Joycep ov is supposed to occur 5-10 days after your last tablet, mine was 10 days this month.

hi im new to this site and new to clomid. this is my first cycle of clomid,(been ttc for over a yr) i was given 100mg to start on day 2-6 and im now on day 28, im not sure if i ovulated or not, although i did have cramping in both left and right side of my stomache. i have been put on clomid due to irregular periods and not ovulating. so far i have had hot flushes and bloatedness, loss of appetite (which soon came bk lol) headaches, very slight blurred vision(but that subsided quickly) the only thing i still have is i cant shift the heavy bloating feeling i dont no why im still getting it, im very confused, i have taken a preg test and it came bk negative. ive not seen anyone with the same as me (although i no there are - im obviously looking in wrong area) i also have a fibroid that is the size of a 5p and was told it should not effect me concieving. does anyone out there have the same

Just popped on to mark my place. I am away now until Tuesday so wont be on here but wanted to say to capiche that i am thinking of you and hope that the spotting is nothing serious. I've had MCs as well and I totally get how you feel. fingers crossed for you. Hi to any newbies. Will pop ba ck after Tuesday to see how you're all doing. I decided not to use my second lot of clomid this month as we are moving soon and all very stressful here. I will keep my last 2 doses of clomid for once we've moved but will still pop in and see if there are any BFPs

oh capiche - really sorry. Will keep everything crossed for you.
thanks ladies for letting me know. How confusing, I always though clomid was suppose to bring forward ovulation and lengthen LP!

Hi all,

7dpo for me today (but hey who's counting!) and had a weird red glob this morning...cue frantic knicker-checking throughout the day which has revealed pinkish cm. Really hoping AF isn't about to arrive as, like Joycep was hoping clomid would lengthen my 12 day LP not shorten it!!

Hope you're doing ok Capiche

Welcome kelmcdonald you could still get a BFP this month, it just depends when you ovulated.

hi thxs pinkcustard for ur reply but as my cycle is very irregular i have no idea when i ovulated and i called my gp for my results of my blood test that i had done on day 21 and it came bk my progestrone level was 1. and i havent got a clue wat it shud be

Hi guys
Can I join please? Joycep - hello!
I am on round 2 of Clomid, prescribed by a hospital-based assisted conception unit under duress (because they really thought I was worrying over nothing and thought I didn't need it!) to correct my luteal phase.
I was prescribed 50mg cd2-6 and it didn't seem to make much difference - I perhaps added a day to my lp (9 to 10) but that was all. I asked whether I should increase the dose and was told that there was 'no point.' However, I know it's a bit rash but I've done it anyway! I weighed it up and felt the benefits could outweigh any potential risks - I was regularly monitored on 50mg and only developed one dominant follicle - so the risks of over-stimulation and/or multiples is low.
Of course, this means that I only have one cycle left as opposed to two - but if 100mg doesn't make much of a difference then I'll probably can Clomid altogether and try something else. If it does make a difference I'll tell the hospital and hope they don't kill me/blacklist me, and/or get a further scrip from a private GP I've found.
cd3 today!
Best of luck all.

feeling ok thankyou everyone - i also think clomid DID lengthen my lp

spotting seeeeeems to have just been the one little bit but still not shouting from rooftops

period not due till sat or sun but tests getting quicker.....aaarghh!! Once when i got pregnant i celebrated - now I feel guilty if i fantasise for a second that it might work!

Capiche that sounds really promising - I'm keeping everything crossed for you!

still crossing fingers for you Capiche.
Hey Mrs HY1!
PinkCustard - is that usual for you to get spotting around that time?

I must say I'm so confused by what clomid is suppose to do. My egg was ripe on day 12 apparently. But I was told to carry on and to follow my natural cycle and use OPKs to see when I got the surge at which point i was to inject myself with Ovitrelle. I rang up yesterday as it was day 15 and still no surge and no ewcm and in the past i never got a surge later than day 14 and normally 4 days of ewcm. Anyway my doc told me to inject the Ovitrelle.

So basically I'm suppose to ovulate in the next 48hrs now but really strange my body is just not building up to ovulation like it did!

Hello all, just checking in again. Am on the 2ww, cd19 now, plenty of SWI between days 11-17 but nothing since. Am slightly concerned that I only had one day of ewcm, and not loads of it, as previous cycles there has been a lot! Oh well, there's nothing to do but wait.... and wait.... and wait......

Hello
Quick question - did any of you get twingey like sensations in your ovaries during the treatment course (e.g. cd2-6?). Common sense would tell me that this is in my head - because currently the Clomid is suppressing any activity in my ovaries at the moment - right?? (Am cd5 today).
x

Mrshy - I got lots of twinges in both courses. I wondered whether they were psychosomatic but I had to stop playing tennis because of them so I am sure they weren't in my imagination!

Hi all, clomid continues to make things earlier for me, just had a smiley face on CD9. Last month CD11. I have researched a bit and others have had the same. Not being monitored this month as on holiday. Just hope not too many follicles as doctor has said it is not a good idea for me to get pg with twins due to odd shaped uterus :)

i am back on clomid this month as af arrived on my wedding day saturday going to try day 4 to 9

fingers crossed for capiche.

Sorry to hear AF arrived on your wedding day emma - that is horrible horrible timing. Hope you had a nice wedding day aside from the crual blow from that bitch mother nature.

Its was perfect hippychick i forgot about af as i was having such a good day
Did u have a nice holiday?

really glad the wedding went well emma - it is such a special day in a girls life.

it wasn't actually a holiday - we went to the place that we are re-locating to and tried to find somewhere to rent for 6 months whilst we house hunt properly. Total nightmare actually. Only been there one hour when i drove over some raised ironwork in the road and TOTALLY took out the exhaust. So £400 later we were back on the road

Then 3 of the properties we were meant to view got taken by other people and the three we had left to view were all horrid and musty. SO we came back with no address and we have to move out of our house in 3.5 weeks cos we are about to exchange contracts. Plus we can't apply for school places until we have an address - can you see why I decided not to waste the clomid this month

Any news from you capiche?

Hi, can anyone help? What days have you ov when taking clomid. I took 50mg on days 2 -6 and started testing on day 10 and now am on day 15 and still no smiley face. Should I carry on testing or is there a possibility I ov very early this month because of taking clomid? I am worried I missed the boat. Also my problem is endo and I am 39 but I do ovulate normally.

Also meant to say I have had ov pains and EWCM but still no smiley face - am very confused

I found I ov'd a bit later than normal. the egg whites are a good indication that you are about to ovulate. I would say keep peeing on those sticks and shagging. I think you'll get your positive smiley face soon.

Good luck.

ps. I have endo as well. luckily it has not stopped me getting pregnant. I have 2 lovely sons and have had 2 MC's. it is however quite painful but i know it could be worse.

Thanks hippy

I too have two lovely children and tried for a long time for both of them but given age have decided to try for no. 3 and consultant suggested clomid after a year of trying this time round! I will have to go and buy another pack of test sticks!

Any weekend testers on the thread? I'm trying to hold out til Tuesday (CD30) but the suspense is killing me - I hate the 2ww! I have some distractions in place over the weekend though - am away Sat afternoon til Monday night so as long as I don't take any tests with me or get persuaded by my friend (who knows we're ttc) to test whilst I'm away with her then I should be able to resist the urge to POAS prematurely. I'm giving myself to the end of this year (as that's all the Clomid I'm allowed) then if we haven't managed it, I will be content with my lot. I really am grateful for my 2 children, but whilst I'm broody for more, I want to start moving on with the next phase iyswim?

Nope i'm on cd6 i only had a light period for 2 days now got alot of brown discharge sorry 4 tmi
