Hi everyone this is my first time sharing my story.Well so far we have been ttc for 4 years with no luck and no medical explaination.I was just prescribed clomid 50mg cd5-9 and just finished last pill yesterday.I was wondering if anyone had any encouragement for me as I am feeling a liitle down with the whole process.I am very optimistic about the clomid with all the success stories I have heard.And I did have a little bit of sde effects like nausea,headaches,and a little hot flashes but it was worth it I hope.Well thanks for listening. Amanda

Hi primrose..

I had a lap as that was what discovered my endometriosis... complete shock to all as I didn't have classic symptoms. Firstly, DO NOT PANIC..... if you are also having the dye test to see if your tubes are patent, when you wake up and go for a wee you may notice some blueness to your wee or in your knickers, if so, once again DO NTO PANIC it is perfectly normal. All you can do is think of it as a positive thing as IF you do have anything stopping a bean from being created they will help you sort it !!! Better to have the problem explained than go on not knowing... "Said the wise old bird"... Good LUck and let us know !!

WHERE are you Sambrads????????? Probably the pregnancy brain, she's forgotten where the computer is.. hee hee lol xxxx

nandos · 11/03/2008 15:18

Hello everybodee,
lolz..Im now on CD19 and according to ovulation calc, was supposed to get my next period on CD32 but cos of the leap year (and have a 31day cycle) it increased my waiting time to CD34! God help mee!
Its already soo draggy having to wait for my AF, let alone waiting to test HPT AFTER AF is due(if it doesnt come) soo much sufferinggg..
Im sorry but I need a place to complain and release my frustration

Pinkali37 · 11/03/2008 15:46

You complain all you need to this is what we're all here for !! x

DungunGirl · 11/03/2008 16:02

Good luck tomorrow primrose!

Pinkali37 · 11/03/2008 16:12

Hi Duncangirl, how the hell are you sweetheart?

DungunGirl · 12/03/2008 12:44

Hi Pink!

Our thread has gone real quite eh....

I am actually really nervous as I could be counting my chickens too soon....BUT my AF is almost 10 days late, my temps are really high AND I took a pregnancy test last night and I got a very very faint positive line.

I am holding off getting excited....I am going to re-test on Saturday morning.

THe worst thing about this is that my focus on going to the gym today is totally gone! All I can think about it whether I am or not!!!

Pinkali37 · 12/03/2008 13:08

OH WOW... 10 days late? Surely that's a pretty good sign?? I tested 3 days early and got the BFP so I really hope this works out for you. It is so exciting but also sooooo nerve racking. Have you tried the clearblue tests, the digital ones? That's what I did. Really good and very accurate. Go on get one, the £14.00 is well worth it.... Let me know how you get on. xxxx

supersteph · 12/03/2008 13:37

Hi all, I am a bit down today as I should be starting my second does of clomid at 100mg for the first time today. I finished my 7 day couse of provera on Sunday and I should have had AF yesterday (as AF showed up 2 days after last pill of provera last month.) And today is 3 days since last provera tablet. My temps are up and have been for 6 days. So I am confussed, did I ovulate late this time? I am currently on CD 37. If so will my period show up soon so I can start my higher course of clomid on days 2-6. OR could I be pregnant? I am very confused and I need some advise please.....
Thank you all for listening to my complicated storie. xxx

Pinkali37 · 12/03/2008 13:46

Hi Steph, Mmmmmmm well... you could always test? Otherwise hold tight and wait for a few more days then test again. I should have shares in clearblue preg tests as I have wasted a lot of them !! Remember you are more likely to get an incorrect Negative test that an incorrect positive one, so what the hell do a test... xxxxx Let us know how you get on.

supersteph · 12/03/2008 13:49

Thanks Pink. I will test in the morning if No AF by the end of the day. How are you getting on? Have you got an appointment for a scan yet? Hope all is well> xxxx

Pinkali37 · 12/03/2008 13:52

Everything is fine with me thank you (touch wood PEA stays where it is). Feel surprisingly good apart form exceptionally tired and my boobs are now starting to hurt when I go downstairs!! Weird! I am 5 weeks today so all very early still but all seems ok at the moment. No date through yet, hopefully it will come shortly. Although want the scan later into week 6 rather than earlier as they will be able to see more and I do not want what happened last time a complete silence as she was trying to find it.. well to be fair ANYTHING...

supersteph · 12/03/2008 14:00

Glad to hear you are doing well. keep thinking possitive and you will be fine xxx

nandos · 12/03/2008 15:58

Hey all,

I would like to ask anyone here who have used clomid a qn:
Does sore nipples right after ovulation(e.g 3 DPO)normal when using clomid cos' of side effect or early pregnancy symptom?
I never had this b4 so early in my cycle so was wondering..
anyone plzz help ..thanks a lot in advance

Pinkali37 · 12/03/2008 16:06

Mmm Nandos, I just read something that said it can be a symptom of taking clomid but at the same time It oculd be an early preg sign although that would be very early. What day are you on your cycle?

nandos · 12/03/2008 18:07

Hi Pinkali
today is 5DPO and still having this symptom..

Pinkali37 · 13/03/2008 07:58

Ooh ...... have you done a test yet?

Duncangirl - I can't stand the waiting (obviously never mind the fact it is happening to you lol)... do a test... xxx

nandos · 13/03/2008 09:47

Hi pinkali,

nandos · 13/03/2008 11:28

cam75 · 13/03/2008 11:45

hi all,

i have pcos and have been ttc for 7yrs now.
I have had one ivf attempt and it failed.
Had a laparoscopy last year and dye test and everything is normal.
Went to the hospital yesterday and have been given clomid due to start soon. Just finished a period, not sure what to expect.
I am nervous, happy at the same time. I am on 50mg.
Any tips will be most grateful.........

supersteph · 13/03/2008 12:37

Hi every 1, I rang my fertility nurse yesterday and she said there are two possibilitys, I am pregnant ( that would be great as it is my first clomid cycle) OR I have ovulated late so the provera would not give me a bleed as my body is in the process of ovulating. So she said to test next wednesday and if positve give them a ring, and if negative start clomid on the higher dose (100mg) and book my follicle scan around CD11.

Nandos - My cycles are between 35 and 91 days when not on clomid. As it is my first cycle I dont know how long they are during treatment. xx

nandos · 13/03/2008 14:46

Did i see that right supersteph? 35 to 91 days??
I really hope u r pregnant in this cycle..dont wanna see u wait till 91 days!
Did u have any symptoms that may be preg symptoms/PMS after ovulation?

nandos · 13/03/2008 14:48

Hi cam 75, welcome
hope the clomid cycle works for u this time after the IVF fails to make u conceive ..
