***TAKING CLOMID FOR THE FIRST TIME - PART 2***

[DungunGirl]

Hi ladies!

Hope you find the new thread!!!

Hi

Great news on the + opk Ray just keep at it the next few days and that should keep all angles covered
Glad the clomid is working for you Vics just at least you can relax a little if you know its working. I wasnt monitored at all so dont know if it worked or not.

Still no sign of AF as yet but also dont feel any different so not holding my breath yet. If its not here by Thurs Ill do a test i think, but im sure there will be no need as she is probably just playing with me

Baby dust to all xxxxx

So nice to see you back on the thread. After LauraLou shouted out, I have been waiting to see if you came on.

I'll keep all fingers and toes crossed for you!

If it isn't meant to be on the clomid, then enjoy Xmas and worry about it all again in the new year!

Don't forget the Oxford Fertility Clinic and finding out if ovulating is the problem, whether IVM is an option!

Will keep an eye on the thread for updates!

Hi all,

CBear - fingers (and everything else for that matter) crossed!! You are so good waiting for that long to test!! It is nice to know it's working. I had such terrible mood swings, not sure if I can carry on with it if it doesn't work this month. Not fair on everyone else I live with!!

Ray - I am 1 of 5 and also didn't want my DS to be and only child. We have been trying for 18 months, it was discovered that I wasn't ovulating at all. Prob is my DS is 11 and if we don't hurry up, he'll have moved out my the time it sorts itself out!!

Best wishes to all

13 weeks already! Excellent stuff. Past the first trimester then! Hurrah! Hope you have your 12 week scan already as well then.

I am now 16 weeks plus now and at last starting to feel more human again. Nausea is more or less gone but I get the occassional wave when my gut is playing up.

Take care of yourself LL!

Dungungirl lauralou,

yes everything is fine with dp sperm it is just me and the ovualting thing and the clomid is working just waiting for the lazy sperm!!!!
I think i have been ovualting with the double dose of the clomid!!! I am hopefully and just going with the flow and trying not to get down. I feel like a pin cushion it is also helping with the weight lose lol!!!!!!!
I am good thanks ladies for the shout out!!! xxxxx

hi all

Im out of the running as AF arrived this morning after 31 days when its normally 27 days. I think it done it just to break my heart. Yesterday I had slight pinkness and had convinced myself it could be implantation but then in full swing today. It was my last month on clomid so thats why I wanted it so much. I have been so positive for the last 5 months when AF arrived I just dusted myself off and said there is always next month. This month im devastated
I will now have to go through all the proper tests to find out whats wrong so hopefully by xmas I will know and something can be done.

take care all and im wishing you all luck

Oh Clairebear,

I'm so sorry it didnt work for you good luck with all the tests i hope they figure out whats happening and are able to help you.

I'm on CD17 and have just Ov have been Bding everyday for 3 days twice a day if that doesnt do it i dont know what will.
Just the 16dw now as my LF is 16 days not sure how i am going to cope with it this month. I may just hibernate i think you never knwo it may work.

clairebear ->> (HUGSS)
so sorry to hear it didnt work. did the consultant told u what to do next after clomid? i wish u all the best and do update us with your progress..
ray 81, good luck i cant remember the last time me n dh did more than once a day lol..re hibernate is also good, i am doing it as well lol.
dungungirl, cam75, hope you girls are doing well..thinking of you
am on CD7 today and yeah its a long way to go so am off to hibernation mode now

Hi

Nandos - It was my gp who put me on clomid and now I have been referred my specialist couldnt believe I had been prescribed them before any tests had been done. So Im doing it all back to front really. I have had ext and int scan ( waiting for results ) then gotta have lap & dye next month and bloods so hopefully have more info soon.
Im glad they are finally looking into the problem but I think there is only a certain amount of months you can have clomid??
Not sure what the next step is gonns be but ill stay on the thread and let you know.

Im sure you will all be lucky on the tabs so keep it going even if the side effects can be rough at times. The months go so quickly and you wont forgive yourself if you come off them as you will never know

LUCK to all xxxxx

Clairebear

There are also the people who get pg the month after stop the clomid. So keep your chin up, you never know that might me you.

Good luck with all those tests

Hi all,

CBear - I am sorry to hear what's happened. The tests will certainly be very helpful to you, I'm sure and you may be offered a more suitable solution. I think you can take clomid again, my friend has 2 clomid babies. I think you just have to have a break between six month periods of taking it (I hope that makes sense!) I am thinking of you, and hope you get some answers with your tests. I have also heard of people who get pregnant when they come off clomid, it seems to kick start things in some cases.

Hang in there, sending love and hugs

bug hugs clairbear, my fingers are crossed for another solution for you. keep us posted.

thanks for all your posts/hugs and love everyone. im hanging in there and just going with the flow for the next few months. i have some hols coming up so gonna relax and enjoy it, get back into the right frame of mind.
ill keep you all posted on results and the next steps.

Love to all

HELLOOOOOOOO

clairebear glad you brought us back to reality lol (well..just me at the moment) maye the rest are really busy in bed i am not anymore as my 2ww just started today..
how are you doing and any updates from the GP/specialist?

Hi there everyone!

Hi CBear, how are you doing?

I am in the middle of the dreaded 2WW now. My first on clomid. Feeling OK, very anxious though. Shattered this week as just started a new job. Hoping that having no time to think and stress about dreaded 2WW will mean positive results. Also, my DS was 11 this week. Where does the time go??

Hope all you ladies are OK

Sending love and hugs to all, V x

Hi guys.

It has been very quiet on here hasnt it where is everyone?

Af due fri and is going to come just know it. Am on second month of clomid and BD 17 times around OV so was feeling realy positive, now just feeling v v defeated and want to give up but i dont if you know what i mean.

Vics good luck to you i hope you are one of the ones the clomid works for first time it would be nice to have some good news t make me smile.

Clairebear Helloooooooo where are you in cycle? how are you feeling ?

Hi Ray

Whats made you feel down, come on girl you were soo positive. How are the foot symptoms ?

Am throwing lots of babydust your way.

XX

hi pinkie,

Felling realy down as have lots of Af symptoms and know that it hasnt worked this month. starting to give up hope and wonder if it is ever going to happen ever.

have had a prob with computer all morn to and they took 2hrs to sort it and cried like 5 times over a bloody computer. Today is not a good day weather is shite and have just been to lunch and am now realy wet.

Need to go back home to bed i think.

How are u pinkie ? did Af arrive ?

Hi Ray,

Ohh Yes it arrived bang on CD28, i had some spotting a couple of days earlier and was really upset when that happened but everyone on here was so wonderful that by the next day i brushed myself off.

Its not over til The AF arrives so come on be positive. You will get there,just think after all that bding you have set a record. If its worked we will all be going for a 17.
what happened to your feet, is it still swollen.

I know its hard but you can have those symptoms and it be early pg?

I am now on cd4 so day 3 of clomid, acupuncture on weds, which i am really looking forward to.

Hi Pinkie,

I must admit that AF symtoms not as bad as normal. Also not sleeping very well at all realy strange dreams, kept waking up last night and also feeling very Hot and cold so maybe coming down with something. This may also be TMI but have very creamy CM its realy thick and white and also kept thinking i had wet myself when waking in the night, i didnt need to go that much but had to go and check i hadnt which is weird. Am very windy and Very tired not like normal but just very tired suppose that could be the feeling down thing though.
Also have been going to the toilet alot which is unlike me (sorry tmi but 2s you know). there is one more thing and thats that i just dont feel NORMAL, dont feel right in my skin its realy hard to explain but i just dont its weird. Mt foot is still swollen and the vein is still pulsing which is weird as it is a vien and not an artery so it shouldnt be pulsing, have also noticed the other foot is swollen to and it wasnt but kinda think may be getting myself out it there.

See when i put things down like that i feel abit more positive as these are things i dont normally have but then again my body does tend to play tricks on me and make me think i am when i'm not.

I'm glad you got over it quick this month i find its so much easier that way.

I may try the acupunture next month if it doesnt work. Good luck hon im realy keeping my fingers crossed for you and am so hoping it works. Even if it doesnt work for me perhaps you should try 17 times it may work !!! he he

Hi girlies

I thought you had all gone and desserted me, i started really worrying about how I was gonna get through all this without you lovely lot.
Ray - 17 times, my my you have been busy at least you should be a bit more toned after all that exercise lol. Im on cd10 so getting prepared for the next couple of weeks of trying hard. Try to keep positive about everything but I would check with doc about problems as could be side effects. Hope your ok.

Nandos - not had the results from scan yet but I reacon they will gather all results from scans/bloods and give them to me in one go.
Vics - glad all is ok on your 1st month of clomid keep positive and keep your mind busy
Whats 2ww by the way as I cant get into acronym list???

I have bought som agnus castus so gonna take them to balance my hormones and apparently it corrects luteal phase ( not that I know i have that ).

GOOD LUCK XX

Clairebear,

God i wish that i was more toned but still wobbly and flabby so that didnt work. i had lots of energy though which was great as needed it. You should follow the sperm meets egg plan as it gives focus. You Bd every other day from CD8 then start OPKs from CD10 once you have +ive Bd for 3 days miss a day and then again on the 5th day. The theory is that you should hit the right time then.
Me and DH bd from cd8 but 2 times a day on CD8 CD10 and then CD12 got +ive on CD14 and BD morning and night and inbetween for 4 days missed a day and then again even found that we were waking in the night and bding which was quite exciting DH thought he had died and gone to heaven. He even said at one point that he hoped it didnt work so that we could do it again next month. GIT !!! must admitt i nearly killed him then.

Now see when i put it down like that it seems pretty positive, we must have hit the point surely and if we havent i give up. What more can we do i think we gave it our all and if that hasnt worked then life is seriously such a bitch.
Well i have kind of an excited feeling about it now as it must have worked. Oh Pllllleeeeeeessssssseeeeeeeee let it have worked.
I am due either thurs or fri am going to try so hard not to test til monday. I just cant imagine being PG again i would be soo soo soooooooooooooooooo happy/ Oh please let it be.

Good luck clairbear for the next week i'll be praying for you. and will be here for the 2 week wait (2ww) if you need anything.

Hey guys,

Guess what did a test this morn and BFP. OMG i am Pregnant cant believe it after nearly 5 years it has happened.

I hope this is a keeper as have had 2 MC before and so want this to be real. Please let this be real.

Good luck to everyone else and by the way me and DH bd 17 times this month so try it guys it worked for me.
