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

[DungunGirl]

Hi ladies!

Hope you find the new thread!!!

I seriously dont think i will ever have another child at this rate.....

of course you will come and sit down and have a mince pie.

Yeah maybe.... i think the trying gets to you after a while.... what will be your plan if the clomid dont work?? what are the next steps?

I am on my last cycle this time so i have been in touch with the gynae's secretary (who is really nice lady) and he has agreed to refer me to a fertility specialist.

I guess now i will have to wait for the specialist to get in touch and then the tests start again so in for a long wait.

Hi georgie & pinkie, dunno how i managed to calculate i was on day 36, i must have added an extra week in there im only on day 29 counting day 1 the first day of clomid. i havent had a period since i come off the pill over a year ago so my specialist told me to take the clomid immediately he didnt give me anything to bring on a bleed, so im not really sure what cycle day im on. he told me if nothing happens go ahead with my second course of 50mg which i'll take next week because i read you can take it at least 30days after the first one. So i'll test then to see...ooh fingers crossed. have any of you had cramps after taking clomid?

Hi Valz,

I had a cramping sensation which i was advised was most likely ovulation...

My periods had stopped to, so im not sure why they have not prescribed you provera to bring on your period, i was always told this was the procedure, but i may be wrong...

i didnt think clomid can help without a bleed...

I think everyone is different on here and we csan only do what weve been advised, i just feel like the more they are trying and errorring on me im wasting time on Clomid and the months its not working.....

Hi, thanks for all the help, not sure what's going on to be honest think I might just need to chill.

I have another week left - my breasts are hot and a little painful today too, but surely too early for any symptoms? I have read that clo can shorten cycles so may just be working up to AF I guess.

Not confident about this month, month 1 BFP would be fab but I am a realist - fingers always crossed though

Good luck to all! xx

You and me both newhere

i wont have a choice but chill as last clomid cycle this month and then got to wait for fertility clinic to refer me and get appointment so while am waiting not much chance of BFP

Anyway at least its xmas soon and am getting into the spirit and even started wrapping presents.

hi valz

i dont understand why your doctor has given you clomid and not provera or anything else to bring on a bleed if you go online and look up clomid it will tell you that you have to start it normally cd2 of your period coming if you havent had a oeriod then how will your body no when its time to ovulate ?

what dosage has he put you on ? and what days did you start it as you havent had a period so how will you no what day you are

take care

baby dust to everyone xxxxxxxx

Hi lauralou, he put me on 50mg for 5 days, he said since i hadnt had a period in so long i obviously was not ovulating, he told me i could start taking it immediately and count the first day as cycle day 1, he said i should ovulate around cd 10-15. going by his instruction im now cd 30 and no period, he told me at my app if i dont have a period and not pregnant go ahead with a second course of 50mg for 5 days.

Hi Valv and Lauralou!

Im obviously on clomid but i had to take provera to start my period and clomid day 2-6.

Weirdly my 2nd cycle gave me a period day 21, which apparently is very strange,so now i have to wait until the morning do a pregnancy test and if its negative im to start clomid tommorrow pretending its my day 2 and take 2 tablets..... so strange.....

WOuldnt it be great if i did the test and it said i was preggers.... like thats gonna happen but its a nice thought...

i ve also gotta have a blood test AGAIN on day 21..... yuck!!!

I wonder if there is someone this has happened too....

Hi all, finding the chilling really hard! Can you tell me if clomid affects a pg test oe not - i.e will it give a false BFP?

Also, how early can you safely rely on these first response tests?

baby dust to all

And patience be with all of us on the dreaded 2ww!

hi newhere

clomid shouldnt affect your pg test it didnt affect mine and mine was just a tesco test i did my test on cd35 and it came up positive straight away i couldnt believe it and now am 19+2 weeks pg what cd date are you now

good luck love laura lou

Hi Lauralou (and congrats )

I am on CD 25 of a usual 28 day cycle, there are all sorts of things going on with my bod though and I don't know which are tablet related which are in my mind and which could mean I'm pg!

Patience isn't one of my strong points I'm afraid!

hey newherehelp, im on day behind u im on cd25 today. im not very patient either. but really think i cant be this month, not exactly taken things easy. I have been building and demolishing my kitchen lifting lots of heavy things about prop not best idea. but come monday i shall know.
had a prety good first month on it really other than few hot sweats and mild stomach ache in first two weeks ive been fine. Having all the symptoms of starting af now though.
fingers crossed for all

Hi Ladies,

firstly congrats lauralou, great to hear ur bfp i phoned a specialist yeaterday to ask when i should start my next course, i gave her all the dates of my first course so she'd know what day im on etc and she told me then that i should have started my second course last saturday because usually its taken on cd 2 but i told her my period hadnt come and i dont know when id ovulate or if i did so i would i know when my period should have arrived. i more confused then ever. she told me ive missed this cycle and to start again on 4th january and take a pregnancy test next week im concerned now cuz i think they really should be monitoring me better. i told her about the cramps & she said thats common with clomid, sometimes its due to over stimulation but that was very unlikely on 50mg tablets. im so tempted to goahead with my second course on monday rather then wait another month what would yous do?. this should be cd33

hi valz h$ave you had a period if not i would do a pg test then start it when your period comes

i cant believe they are not monitoring you they should be giving you scans everymonth on the cd11 and blood tests cd21 and cd28 if you didnt ov on the 21 test and for her to say over stimulation does she not realise how dangerous over stimulation can be

i have never heard anything like this before with clomid and it is really stupid

it looks like they are just giving it out like sweets and saying go away

take care lauralou1

I was advised by my specialist today that you are only offered scans every month if you are definitly ovulating, but mainly because you are worried about multiple pregnancies...

And they also said to me that if your first month on clomid shows you are ovulating you wont be required to do another bloodtest on day 21...

Have you all been told something different....

I also forgot to ask is anyone on 100mg??? do you have major side effects on this dosage?

I'm on 100mg and I have virtually no side effects, mine was given by my GP and he told me to come back in 3 months or sooner if I was pregnant, no bloods or scans????

i wasnt ovulating and had to have scans to make sure my folicles were growing because if you havent got any folicles then you probably wont ovulate and there was no worry aboput multiple pg i was on 50 mg the first month then 100mg the month after which i ov on and got pg i had no side effects at all with the 100mg i had more with 50mg everybody i no has had scans to check the clomid is working and i have been on this thread since the beginning i have not come across anything like this before

were are you from ?

take care
baby dust to all

Really.... im from bournemouth.... you??? well im still taking the 100mg now... so when is the best time to you know....boom shagala.... is 10-15 after the first pill... obviously im a bit different this month by not taking the clomid with my period....

Thanks lauralou1

well af decided to make an appearence today and also embarrass me making me too hot n i fainted in church oh the shame!!
As if af wasnt bad enough.
hey well guess its time to start the clomid again tomorrow, so i best get used to the hot flushes again.
