Clomid advice please!

[sianos12]

Hello I want some advice please to anyone who has tried clomid. I'm trying to conceive my second child and struggling. I conceived first time around using clomid. My issue last time was low progrestrone and lack of ovulation. This time round I seem to be ovulating but late! Usually get a positive OPK around day 18 and period can come 8-10 days later!

I have decided to go private and get the clomid as the NHS takes too long! I have a busy month again with 3 weddings (2 of which I'm bridesmaid for). I'm just desperate to start the clomid when my period comes but worried about side effects. I remember last time feeling bloated. Should I take or wait another month? I know could come across a stupid question but just want to see what people would do! Don't want to particularly hold off for someone else but want to enjoy myself at the weddings!

Also does anyone have advice with short luteal phase? I get brown spotting before my period which I know is also a sign. Plus painful periods.

Thank you :) Appreciate any replies. It's making me miserable again the disappointment every month.

@sianos12 I'm new on clomid and to be honest sometimes I had side effect and other times it seemed ok but I had headaches and bad dreams and to be honest just didn't feel like myself after my first round and I got really tired but we have to just crack on with things don't we and unfortunately we can't put a stop on the rest of our lives while we are on the clomid rollercoaster! If your keen to get pregnant just take them and take it easy and look after yourself. On the other hand if your young and you can afford to miss a cycle you may have the luxury to wait but I spent alot of time waiting and putting it off, I have a holiday or I'm starting my new job and then now I'm ready it's taking forever to happen and I wish I hadnt waited 🙄. Good luck just stay in tune with your body when your on them I think that helps 🤠
