Hey,
Is there anybody else on tww after 1st round of clomid? Haven’t seen much posts here re clomid.
we have been ttc for nearly 5 years, I have mild pcos, but so far no luck except for 2 chemicals last year. My gp gave me clomid prescription. I went for day 21 bloods, she said lh and pg looks good.
im on day 29 now, just tested and got very faint lines on 3 tests, praying this month is lucky, it has been heartbreaking time ttc for so long

@AnnMii what cycle of clomid are you on now? How are you finding it

genericusername789 · 15/07/2022 22:35

Also fell pregnant first round of clomid, now have 2.5 year old non-ID twins! Good luck, it really is a wonder drug ❤️

@AnnMii sorry wrong tag and I don’t know how to delete it

I went on clomid when my period didn't come back after a mc. I caught fifth time but mc, then started again and it worked first time. Felt very lucky because the scan showed a very thin lining, so I wasn't even sure I should start the new course, very anxious the first few weeks. DD2 is now three.

GrowlingManchego · 15/07/2022 22:40

Hi @AnnMii , hopefully it works out for you. I had exactly the same history as you’ve described and my 15 year old is the result of me taking Clomid for the first time 😊

@SheepingStandingUp how did you do it wrong the first time round? Did you go private for your clomid? I’d love to know how you found your clomid cycles

I was told to take it X days after my period started, I counted wrong. Think like take on day 6, and I did it after day 6. I knew as soon as I didn't it I'd misread what I was meant to do.

Next month did it a day earlier, tested a few days early as I felt so bloody awful and it was a strong positive.

I was having regular periods, but every 3 months and with the PCOS no sign the eggs were releasing.

Very nice doc took pity on my decrepitude and referred us to hospital, saw a nurse and she too took pity on my age and prescribed it v quickly. I'd had a previous successful pregnancy but after a LOT of effort and some weight loss so she accepted that it was going to happen quickly and I was mid 30s.

I was lucky - Dr was young and just saw me as v old. Nurse was my age and got it.

@Brunette1652
this is my first cycle, it’s cd 31 now and I’m getting positive lines, just hoping they will get darker. I did clear blue one this morning and it reads pregnant 1-2, just hard to believe it, I guess it’s still a waiting game, Im so afraid to get my hopes up, I didn’t even tell hubby yet, just so aftraid it’s not real.
I didn’t have any symptoms when taking clomid or after, didn’t track ovulation either, actually I was bit angry with DH and we dtd only like 4 times In whole month, so I taught it’s a wasted cycle . I didnt tell him i took Clomid, didnt want him overthinking, I like keeping those things to myself, I know how much he wants to have a child and I would hate to break his heart every month.

@SheepingStandingUp you'll be as tired as me then 😂

Longbin · 16/07/2022 13:16

@AnnMii in Greece. It's about 2.50 over the counter for a pack that lasts months!

GrowlingManchego · 16/07/2022 23:26

It does take an emotional toll. I was doing a counselling course around the time I fell pregnant. Having something different but positive in my life that wasn’t related to conception was really helpful for me.

Sending you baby dust and hoping it works for you. X

I have pcos and have a cycle once or twice a year. I was given clomid for my first child and it work first time been ttc again and not being successful So back on the clomid this month I was maybe 90 odd days since my last AF so they didn’t say wait for AF just take it so I had 50mg clomid on 4th July to the 8th July. I started feeling aching symptoms from left ovary on the 9th and 10th July I was using Pearl a home ovulation detection and the results were going up and down daily, as seen in the image below. The blue line is FSH and the pink is LH, So yesterday I had the gynaecology scan and she said I had definitely ovulated on the left side, so I ovulated somewhere within 6 days after finishing clomid I think around the 12th or 13th July, the scan showed an endo lining of 9.63mm too which I believe is good for implantation. now I’m in the two week window and praying we have timed everything correctly, my other half said he put arm bands on his swimmers so they have more chance of meeting the egg 🤣 got to love his sense of humour, that helps with my stressed head over obsessing about ovulation and tww and so on

anyways I hope this story helps and I will let you know the results in two weeks, fingers crossed 🤞 good luck to everyone on here xx

just updating from my first post if it helps anyone who is also on the same journey, I think I am 8dpo today I’ve had slight brownish CM and a few niggles. Two days ago I was sitting up in bed and the movement gave me a sudden sharp pain down there not sure what happened there. Desperate for a BFP. Has anyone else had brownish CM 8dpo?
sending baby dust to everyone x

Longbin · 26/07/2022 09:53

I have a BFP! 🎉

Brunette1652 · 26/07/2022 11:19

@Longbin congratulations!! Was that your first cycle? Do you have pcos?

Longbin · 26/07/2022 11:39

Thanks @Brunette1652! It was my first cycle. No I don't, but I don't think I ovulate naturally as I never have EWCM and I noticed some this month when I took clomid, and had some during IVF too. The doctor thinks I do ovulate, but my progesterone is always borderline and when I've tested it earlier in the cycle it's always a bit elevated.

Brunette1652 · 26/07/2022 12:02

@Longbin that’s amazing! Did you Opk test too this cycle? That’s amazing that you got the ewcm and it worked on your first cycle! Amazing

Longbin · 26/07/2022 12:06

@Brunette1652 yeah I did. I used Ava, Mira and OPKs. And they all detected ovulation so I was hopefully from that as I usually see nothing, but it's been so long I don't track properly anymore really.
