TTC advice on clomid please :)

[broodyhen2014]

hi just joined i really cant do this alone anymore need to talk to people like me ... here goes .. Me and OH have been TTC for 3 months now DTD almost every other day we don't see the need for OPK's and im am just fed up atm i want that BFP so bad its getting to the point im scared to do tests because i know it is a BFN and it always is plus my periods seem to be shifting around latley last month it started on the 16th when it was supposed to be the 12th which was so horrible for me because i did the test and it was BFN and i was in tears :( so this month it is nearing 16th maybe period will come on 16th maybe another date if it is still shifting around i am taking 2 folic acid tablets 2 evening primrose and 2 multivitamin and 2 vitamin c and zinc one pill of each one on a morning and one on a night with dinner also ordered OH some fertilman the other night and we are using pre seed lube and where using softcup's to keep the semen in me after but they leaked so not using them now.. anyway thats my story lol hope i didnt bore you too much ALSO has anyone bought clomid pills online ?? if i went to doctors am i old enough to be prescribed them im 20 OH is 27 i thought Doctor's only gave old women in there 30's fertility help but is it available for young women sorry if i offended anyone say they are old

Hot baths ?? why sleepyhodglet i take boiling hot showers everyday i know your not meant to when your pregnant because baby cant regulate their temp but didnt know you couldn't when TTC :( here comes the worry again ....

You're right you can get periods even if you don't ovulate which is why using OPKs, especially if they're sitting in your cupboard, to check whether you are in fact ovulating at all!
You've mentioned not eating properly, if you're underweight that can affect your cycle and your fertility too.

Even if you are ovulating, three month TTC is nothing, generally, a doctor won't do anything at your age, unless you've been trying for 12 months.

Hot baths for my dh. Sorry not to clarify!! It can damage sperm if the testicles get to hot and sperm is produced for 3 months in advance I think.

You can't just catch an egg- it is only around for about a 24-48 hour window once a month and that assumes you are ovulating monthly.

that's the good thing about us liking DTD every other day there is always sperm is my fallopian tubes in theory i sometimes feel like it all gushes out after with nothing left like my cervix doesn't open and good thing that OH hates hot water his shower are close to freezing we can never agree on a set temperature when we shower together there's no harm in me cranking it up on my own them :) pheww

have you got a BFP sleepyhoglet

Yeah. More luck than anything to do with baths and vitamins I'm sure! Actually got it 2nd cycle. Pink pad was the best app for me.

we have be trying since november so thats 5 cycle's i think cycle's are your periods right now something else ? and congratulations :)

Thebuggerlugs that wasn't a very nice comment. i am not going to buy pills online i was questioning their quality and genuity and asking if anyone had ever bought them. and yes 5 months is a long time any amount of time waiting to conceive is a long time because it is a slow and painful process going through cycle after cycle month after month it grinds you down very quickly. i'd thank you to keep your nasty comments and assumptions to yourself this is a positive thread i don't do "trolls" or nit pickers looking to argue

well if you know how hard it is then you know that every woman deserves a child no matter whether they are 20 or 40 age doesnt matter your ready when your mind and body tell you your ready. you should be judging me or anyone else for that matter by saying things like " you feel you're ready to have a child God help us all.

And a quick search of your username thebuggerlugs shows you delight in upsetting other TTC'ers with your harsh and upsetting judgemental comments were all in this together you know if you don't like other women that TTC or get BFP before you then leave them alone don't torment and upset them with your trolling comments.

Oh for Goodness' sake! You came on here asking for advice and have been given some very genuine feedback. It's not a good idea to self-medicate and three months is no time at all to be TTC.

TheBuggerlugs is a long-standing member of this forum and a wealth of knowledge on all things TTC - rather than calling troll and searching for things to attack her with, I suggest you heed her advice.

Those of us on here who have been trying for longer than three months will all remember that back then it felt like forever, but honestly it's totally normal. Just keep dtd every other day and in all likelihood you'll be fine. And if not, you can seek proper medical advice once a year has passed and the doctors will be able to advise whether Clomid is the right route for you.

A couple of pieces of advice if you're still with me. I would be careful not to exceed the stated doses of your folic acid and multi-vitamins. It won't help you to conceive any quicker, so is just a waste of money and overdosing on vitamins probably isn't the best idea. Also, check that you're taking a conception/pregnancy multi-vit (it doesn't have to be one of the expensive brands) rather than just a normal one as Vitamin A is a big no no in pregnancy. You'll then also know that you're getting all the recommended amounts of folic acid, vitamin D etc.

Evening Primrose is another one to be careful of - others will have more experience of this, but I'm pretty sure it should only be taken from menstruation to ovulation as it can affect implantation, so you might want to look at that.

Oh, and stop calling women in their 30s old. It's rude.

The last thing Bugs is is a troll, take a deep breath, get a grip and inform yourself. Don't ask for advice if you don't want it.

broody clomid induces ovulation. That is all. If you are already ovulating it won't help you at all. It's powerful stuff (I'm currently on my fourth clomid cycle). If used unsupervised (assuming that whatever it is you get if you buy it on line is actually clomid) it can cause serious problems. I'd advise to leave it well alone unless qualified medical professionals think you need it. The side affects are awful, not just flu like. They're is a clomid thread on mums net that will let you know all about how tough clomid is.

Oh, the arrogance of youth.

I wish I knew how good I had it.

I don't think doubling up on vitamins will help you either. You will just wee them out!

I'm sorry OP but you are coming across as a bit childish and pathetic.

OP have you done everything you want to do education wise and are your finances sorted? These will makes things easier and might be worth waiting if you haven't yet. 24 would still make you a young mum. How long have you and dh been together?

I tried for my 1st wen I was 21, me n dp now x had been tryin for about 9 months when I went to my gp. Got referred to hospital, where our fertility was checked. Turned out I had poly cystic ovaries so was prescribed Clomid.

I would go to your gp if no success in about 3 months, the more you worry about not getting pregnant, the less chance there is of you falling pregnant, stress plays a big part in baby making!

I wouldn't take Clomid from online, and spec wouldn't take it until you know if you have fertility issues. Otherwise your wasting your money and taking something that might cause you more problems, for no reason.

It's very obvious you already know it all OP, many of us have posted useful advice but you choose to dismiss it or patronise us, so I'm bailing out of this thread now.

Eight out of ten clinical trials suggest that correct punctuation can do wonders for fertility.

Now that is trolling.

@ little not what we were all thinking at all
