Hi
I wrote my cycle days completely wrong ! I meant to say I varie between 28 and 37 days !
I always thought you ovluated something like 14 days before your next cycle was due to start......so I guess as my cycles vary so much this could really affect when I ovulate ! I have only taken 1 cycle of Clomid so far, and didnt have any side effects, so fingers crossed !
I really hope it works..........I really feel like it won't happen for us sometimes :-( I know I need to stay positive and try my best, but its hard sometimes !

hi, i took my first course of clomiid last month as me and my partner were having trouble getting pg! i am now 2 days late for my period and pregnancy test said negative, im not usually late for my periods, does anyone out there know if this is normal??? can clomid stop your period or give you a false negative result?? would be really gratefull to find out if anyone has any answers, thanks.

DungunGirl · 13/08/2008 08:50

numpty

I have read all the pregnancy tests and they all say that clomid should not affect the test result.

However, I have also read that clomid can slightly change your cycle - the ladies here should be able to advise if this is true!

If after a week still nothing I would test again! Sometimes 2 days is not late enough to detect a HCG surge...you never know!!!! Good luck!

Your situation sounds very similar to mine. I had regular periods - every 30-35 days but tests did seem to indicate that I was ovulating irregularly. I was diagnosed with PCOS - cycsts covering both ovaries - plus I had the other symptoms that make it the syndrome and not just polycycstic ovaries.

I think on a longest cycle of 37 days, that would make the last likely date of ovulation day 23 - BUT...saying that , that is if your luteal phase is a definite 14 days! I know that when I was charting temperatures, I noticed that I had a slightly short luteal phase! I was supposedly ovulating around day 21 but I would get my period by day 31! So that was only a 10 day luteal phase!

If I were you, I would start getting jiggy with DH from days 12-25. Hard work but worth it if you fall PG!

I was on course to get metformin/take clomid but after losing 2.5 stone and eating a low Gi diet, I managed to fall PG naturally. It took me 14 months the first time, unfortunately miscarried at 6.5 weeks. BUT I am pg again! JUST! I am almost 6 weeks this time, so fingers and toes crossed!

You will get there - it will happen! There are so many success stories on here.

All the love and luck!

Giselle21 · 13/08/2008 11:08

Hi girls.... im new to all this. Have just finished my forst lot os clomid tablets and just wantin to know how every coped with it. I ve had headaches but thats it.... worried they might not have worked but i have a long 6 weeks ahead to wait for my next due period. I was diagnoised with multiple cysts on both my ovaries but the doc seems to think i should get pregnant on these tablets? Some advice would be great xxx

numpty1972 · 13/08/2008 11:12

do i start taking the clomid again 2moz, i was told by specialist to take clomid on day 2 for 5 days. i havent been monitered whilst on it, i thought i was supposed to have scan and bloodtest?! i don't know what to do and can't get in touch with the specialist that prescribed them to me.(hmm)

numpty1972 i have jsut finished my course and all my doc said was to ring on the first day of my next period to have a scan..... nothin about blood tests...... havent really been given much advice when i think about it

clairebear88 · 13/08/2008 11:43

Hi Girls

Its such a shame that alot of us dont get monitored and are left to get on with it.
Im taking 3rd round of 50mg clomid on day 2-5 and as my cycles are pretty regular about 27-29 days im going for it every other day from day 12-20. Its hard to find time though as they say mornings are best but not very romantic when you have to leave early for work anyway lol.
oh well we will keep positive ( which is very hard ) and good luck to all

cam75 · 13/08/2008 11:59

lauarlou i have missed you. i understnad sometimes you do need time away.
I have just got into work, just went to see the nurse i spoke to the nurse the other day in disppear as i only have 3 cycles left and there is nothing happening...
The nurse has up my dose to 100mg so i start 2moro as af arrived with a bang this morning. I am losing the weight with the help of metformin so it is good news.
She wants to scan me next friday and keep a close eye on me??? she says i have to becarful as there is a risk of twins??? and i am to have sex when see tells me too??
I need prayer i really do i am trying to remain faithfully but it is getting hard.
I suppose now i am ovu it is all good. I am going to have fun with my honey i don't want him to feel drained :O
If i can fertilzed 3 eggs with ivf why can't i do it now!!! i really don't want to have to do that again it is so stressful.
I hope all is well with you.

cam75

just try and not think about it that is what i have been trying to do ...............

i no its easy to say but it does make a difference
would it be a bad thing if you had twins lol

ChoChoSan · 13/08/2008 13:56

Just got back from holiday to see Dungungirl had a BFP...congratulations DGG - I often see your threads on here, so it's good to see you have had a positive outcome!

I am on CD12 of my 5th Clomid cycle, with only 1 cycle left. So far I have just done 50mg/day, but I think I will up it to 100mg next month, as my GP overprescribed, so I have about 25 tabs left. Fingers crossed it will work out, never thought it would be like this trying to get pregnant!

cam75 · 13/08/2008 14:04

laraulou

thank you, i have found away of blocking it out and it does help some times.. I am trying to be busy and not think about what is happening down there!!!
If i do get blessed with twins you can have one!!!!!

numpty1972 · 13/08/2008 15:19

thanks for your kind words, now that the clomid has changed my cycle to midweek it gonna be really difficult ttc as my partner works nights and we only really spend quality time together at weekends!!. i work days this is gonna be fun!! is it really true that mornings are better?? hopefully mornings are just better for the woman cos my morrnings are like his evenings! just wish i knew why it wasn't happening, oh well guess i should just keep trying, hopefully the clomid will work this month.

lauralou1 · 13/08/2008 15:58

Hi everyone,

cam75 · 18/08/2008 15:35

hi ladies,
hope everyone is good.
I have one more day of the clomid 100mg!!!
i have the worst hot flushes ever!!!!!
I was wondering i don't think i have been having alot of sex?? strange but true, i was thinking is there a certain postion? i have heard that missionary is suppose to be good or doggy style is suppose to be good as you are at an angle? as it helps the swimmers. I have even tried to lie down with my legs in the air?????
The nurse told me see wants to see me friday as she has upped the dosage so she wants to make sure everything is ok. She says that i should only have it when she says as the risk of twins are a possablity????? I am getting anxious now as there is only 2 more cycles left??? i hope it works and i am going to put in over time this week:O

Why is it that my man is so calm about this??? I need to get preggers soon.........................................

numpty1972 · 18/08/2008 19:52

hi cam, i know what you mean, my fiance just seems so calm about it yet he say's it what he really wants! it was to begin with his idea!!! he has high count but slightly low motility, been giving him selenium, think i upset him yesturday when he arranged to go out for a drink with his mate tho cos i asked hi not to drink as it would affect our chances, god i never thought getting pg would be this hard!!!!! hope it happens soon im not getting ay younger and before long it will be too late for me. x

DungunGirl · 19/08/2008 12:09
