CLOMID first timer....

999 replies

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

Ha ha You sound like my dh Grin I didn't have the guts to test this morning. If nothing happens today will test tomorrow.
Colleague came in with her little baby had a big cuddle made me want one so much more.
I really hope it happens for both of us soon the waiting is so frustrating!
Holiday being booked this afternoon, at least it will give me something else to focus on and look forward too!

Sorry - quick question...when did you first start to feel side effects from your Clomid? Took my first one thing morning and have a headache - not sure if it's related or if I'm actually imagining it!

Thanks

Solars · 13/10/2011 15:53

Everything crossed for you Florin for that bfp tomorrow :)

Highlove i'm probably not much help here so hope someone with a bit more experience can come along with some better advice, but this is my first month on clomid and my third day so far and i've not had any side effects at all yet. Hope you get some answers soon.

Florin · 13/10/2011 18:27

I think I had my first symptoms on about the 2nd day of taking 50mg, it was just the hot and cold thing on 50mg didn't get the visual disturbance until I was on 100 mg. Hope you don't suffer to much highlife and if you do get any symptoms try and remember that it's worth it for (hopefully) a really good outcome. Hoping this is all a distant memory for all of us!

highlove · 13/10/2011 19:31

Thanks florin really hope tomorrow brings good news for you.

Thanks for all the congratulations it hasn't really sunk in yet apart from odd things like already been out for dinner, odd having soft drink while dh has lots of wine on his own. Going to our best friends later who are 4 weeks ahead of us. Will be nice to talk about it together. Hope everyone's symptoms aren't to bad and it works for you soon

confu3ed · 16/10/2011 20:09

Hello! Been away for a while no BFP for me AF was a few days late and after getting the negative result I just wanted it to come. Have finished my second month of Clomid and now SWI as much as possible whilst praying it works.

Cheeky - fingers crossed for you this month

Congratulations Florin, amazing news :)

Highlove welcome... my symptoms come and go, always get the hot flushes but they get worse with each dose. This month I am still having hot flushes and I am on day 10. The side effects for me were much worse on 100mgs.

Lucy I was told that you can get a false positive, but did use them myself the last time, except the month I got PG. My doc told me to SWI from day 10 to day 20 so I reckon that if you do that you do not need the tests. For me not doing them made me relax about it a bit more.

lucytee · 16/10/2011 21:43

hi Confu3ed

i dont really know what to think really , the day i got a positive a few hours later a done a second one and it was negative. :( everyday i have done one since then has been neg .. i dont think i have oved because i have had no pain or anything as yet and am currently on day 16. it souns silly but is it possible to ov and fell nothing ? im feeling a bit down abwt it all as i dnt feel its working :/ advice ladies?? x

Solars · 17/10/2011 08:43

Hi Lucy

Just wanted to respond as didn't want you to feel so down about things. Not everyone gets ovulation pains so the fact that you don't shouldn't worry you, I don't get any pains and because my cycles are slightly longer than the average 28 days (mine are about 31/32 days) I don't ovulate 'til about day 17/18. As Confu3ed said as long as you swi every other day you should be ok. Hope that helps xx

I have heard lots of different symptoms/side effects/ovulation cycle day of clomid so don't despair if you don't have the same as others.

Clomid has been a miracle for me - conceived DS on 1st month of taking it (50mg - CD3-7) and am now just over 8 weeks pregnant with 2nd child (am praying all will be ok as still early days, but have seen a heartbeat and they have confirmed it's a singleton). With DS no ovulation pains/side effects etc...but this time very strong ovulation pains and terrible PMS...also took 50mg - CD3-7. Ovulated CD17 this time (used Clearblue ovulation tests) and got a BFN on CD25 and then a BFP with a clear blue digital the following day, but then used cheap tests the following 2 days and got the faintest of faint lines (in fact not sure I wasn't seeing things)...I have heard of people ovulating "late" on clomid so wait a few days and you might then get your BFP...or just do loads of tests like me every day!

I have never been monitored whilst taking clomid and in fact emailed my gynae (I don't live in the UK) for a prescription this time...not sure whether she would have monitored me if it hadn't worked within the initial 3 month prescription.

Good luck to everyone trying! I really hope you have your BFPs soon. I have heard negative things about clomid but I can't speak highly enough about it..

Montsti · 17/10/2011 18:11

Just to add - fell pregnant 2nd month of clomid this time. I have heard of people conceiving 6th month of clomid and more so don't assume it won't happen if it doesn't immediately. Also have friends o had no success with clomid/AI/IVF and has since fallen pregnant "naturally" twice so miracles can and do happen...

also something else weird, been having lower aches like a dull ache (almost periody) and although my boobs are the tiniest bit sore they are mega itchy WTH?! weird right?! Confused

ITCHY BOOB?! SERIOUSLY?! it's just 1 tho, I have worked out on clomid my boobs start hurting (like pms) a little earlier then normal and they are not super sore like previous months have been atm but never, ever heard of itchy boob!! (It's just under right nipple on my right boob) I've scratched so much it's very red now and sore :(

OP posts:
Florin · 17/10/2011 23:46

That's what I got. Also the fact my boobs weren't huge and painful like normal was also a sign. Just had itchy tingly nipples-now they are starting to hurt though!

Montsi that is really encouraging to hear, I hope you don't mind me asking, were you prescribed clomid because you had a problem with ovulation?

Cheeky good luck with testing soon, all sound like good symptoms :)
