CLOMID first timer....

999 replies

cheekycurls · 05/09/2011 17:52

I can't seem to find any clomid threads that are active, so thought I would start this one.

Currently just finished taking my last tablet (50mg) on my first month of clomid, I'm very excited & nervous at the same time.

So many things going on in my head, no one to really talk to, symptoms are a bitch (but must mean something is working if I have symptoms yeah?!) Confused

has anyone taken clomid without being monitored? My consultant isn't going to scan me to check on follicles, I just have to go back to see her in 3 weeks (not sure what for?) Blush

Really hoping this works! Hmm

But if anyone wants to join me on a clomid ride, share info or success stories, feel free to...... Smile

well this is my month off clomid and all things TTC but I'm now 5 days late, neg pregnancy test, is this possibly something to do with stopping clomid? Confused

I think I've heard of Clomid delaying ovulation Cheeky, which in turn I suppose would lengthen cycles. Do you know when & if you ovulated this cycle?

I'm only on cycle 1 of Clomid, but it didn't delay my ovulation this month (I had positive opks on cd15 as I had before I started on it). I'm expecting AF to turn up any time soon. Here's hoping that we (and anyone else in a similar boat) get BFPs instead Xmas Smile

I wasn't really paying attention to my cycle this month Blush but as I have no problems ovulating I'm assuming I did ovulate this month,
my cycles was very regular before I started clomid and they didn't change while I was on it, don't know what to think!

just so confusing, not sure if I should drink tonight or not!! Grin

fingers crossed for BFP's all round Pixiepops

AF showed it's ugly face!!! Sad

at least I know where I stand my attempt at being 'positive'

Oh Cheeky, that's rubbish. AF turned up for me too at the weekend so I'm onto month 2 of Clomid. No symptoms at all this time (so far) so that's good I suppose as long as it's working

I'm so bored of not being pregnant!

Wow cheeky that's wonderful news, you must be over the moon! Massive, massive congratulations. Fingers crossed all goes well.

Were you still on Clomid?

cheekycurls · 12/03/2012 19:57

thanks highlove I can't stop smiling :)

I wasn't on clomid, it was my 2nd month off it as it really did make me feel bad and my cycle went a bit mad, this was the one month of not 'trying' as I was told nothing more can be done (not eligible for IVF)
I'm still in shock and it don't seem quite real yet!

how are u getting on highlove?

highlove · 12/03/2012 20:18

It's just great news...how on earth do these things happen after trying so long?! Really pleased for you, it's always fab to hear a positive outcome from someone on the same boat!! Has it sunk in yet? Do you know how far you are?

Ok here, fed up of not being pregnant though! Am on fifth cycle of Clomid, third on 100mg. Have had really good ovulation on 100mg so far but sadly AF turned up bang on time. Am off to see consultant for review next week and hoping to move on to injectables...apparently better success rates and we'll do IUI with it. I read that the combination of injectable and IUI has the best success rate of anything except IVF so fingers crossed..

Have you been to the doc yet?

highlove · 12/03/2012 20:19

Ps.. How many pg tests have you done since finding out?!?!

cheekycurls · 12/03/2012 20:57

yeah I was looking into injectables but would have had to save up and go private, have u looked into super ovulation?

still not sunk in yet! not been docs yet, have appointment next week for a scan, and I think (going by dates but cycle has been pretty messed up after clomid) I'm about 5 weeks, VERY VERY early days I know but very hard not to get excited!
I have only done 2 tests one cheap ebay one that was a very very faint positive so I did a store one 2 days after that and got a very good line, might do another one in a few days to check that I still have a line!

Hello, I'm not sure this is the right thread for this, but we have one son, 27 months old. We've been TTC for over a year, and had our preliminary tests done - just waiting for a test for a hysterosalpingogram (sp?) to check that my tubes are not blocked but I think they are not. For the first year after our son, we were desparately short of sleep and just abstained and my periods were normal. For the second year, my periods have been a bit odd.... each time we have SWI, it brings on my period early. It's just happened again. I have no idea why this might be happening, or why?

Anyway, I'll be 40 in December, and the Fertility consultant was keen not to waste time. He said that if the tubes were blocked, that he would not recommend Clomid, but going straight to IVF in order to maximise my chances of conceiving. He said that taking Clomid, and it not working would simply put off conception with IVF by another year. Has anyone here been told that as well?

kiddiwinkles · 10/04/2012 14:56

I took, 5 rounds of Clomid back in 2005. Side effects for me were horrible, could not walk for the pain, sickness etc, BUT I decided the last course was the last. Resigned my self to the fact of it was not to be. THEN, I became pregnant with my Beautiful daughter, on that last course!!!!!!!

She is now 6, :)

rachie12 · 16/04/2012 21:03

im due on my period on friday i have sore nipples but im not sure if its a side affect of the clomid but i have been having period like pains today so its not looking good :( i only have 1 more round of clomid left then i dont know what they will do :(

rachie12 · 17/04/2012 10:43

Absolutley gutted came on my period this morning :( one more try left now! :(

Solars · 17/04/2012 17:27

Hi rachie12 so sorry to hear that, have everything crossed for you that the next month will be your month.

By the way congratulations Cheekycurls that's fabulous news, hope all is going well for you!

Highlove are you still around?

Would be great to hear from others on clomid.

CaipirinhasAllRound · 18/04/2012 18:45

I'm on clomid too. Have done one month at 50mg to try and make me ovulate and just found out today it didn't work so I have to double the dose next month

xlizziex · 12/05/2012 01:08

Hello, not sure if you all still write on this, just been reading through and its been a great help :) we've been trying for 18 months, my partner is all fine and I have PCOS, I also do not ovulate, I took Metformin for 6 months which didn't work, and I've just had my appointment at the fertilty clinic. She prescribed me Provera to bring on my period, that was regular or a while (between 30-40 days) now I've not had a period for 55 days! Done 6 pregnancy tests and they are all negitive. She also prescribed me Clomid 50mg days 2-5. I start those as soon as my period comes. I'm excited and so nervous! I can't ever see myself being a mummy! Its taking soooo long and I can't see it happening! Anyways :) I hope you are all still chatting on here, it would be so nice to have some people to talk about it with :). Lizzie xx

rachie12 · 15/05/2012 11:20
