TTC on Clomid anyone?

We have started Clomid this month due to secondary infertility. I've had all the side effects (hot flushes, anxiety, cramps, bloating, fatigue) and am happy to finally be on 1dpo!

I'm putting a lot of hope into this cycle so I'm nervous I'm going to be very left down if/when AF arrives in a couple of weeks. :/

Anyone else in a similar boat?

Or do I use my last pills up and go for month 4?!! Has anyone had success on cycle 4 or higher?

@BognorRegenia plenty stories online about success in round 4/5/6 of clomid
i plan to do 6 rounds
currently 5dpo and no thrush as of yet which is a bonus this month

My clinic told me months 4-6 are the most common to fall, but that’s on Letrozole. And I suppose we did have a chemical last month, so conceived. I am upping my dose to 7.5mg this month, god knows how I’ll react but hopefully multiple eggs! X

Thanks for replies. I'll go snoop about online for other success stories Grin

I know it's so hard to tell what it's actually doing, but according to most of the research there's no evidence that clomid has a negative effect. Sometimes it is just a case of continuity.

It's annoying because I also expected it to be a golden bullet of sorts. Hopefully we'll all get some positives soon.

@JigglemonsterYeah, that's also the impression I get. I figure I have one month left so I'll use it this cycle, when my eggs are the youngest they'll ever be :/

9dpo today and I have consistently high temperatures since ovulation which is a positive for me as I usually get a dip day.
I’ve also started baby aspirin this cycle
I don’t have any tests in so I’m waiting it out till 16dpo as Clomid lengthened my luteal phase from 14 to 16 days

how’s everyone else?

I tested positive this Sunday, I can't believe it! It's still so early but I am trying to lean into positivity. I'm 4+1 today.
