dungungirl,
how are you? baby? i am frustated!!!!!
i can't get preggers!!! i am now on 100mg clomid this is cycle 4!!!!

Hi Cam75

I am ok thanks. Started getting mild nausea - lovely. So fingers crossed it is a good sign that things are as they should be. I am 6 and a half weeks now. Can't wait till I hit 7 weeks on Saturday because then I will have passed the point I miscarried in March.

Keep faith cam75! So many ladies on here claimed that the first 3 months the body is still adjusting to clomid anyway.
I will keep praying for you!

Also, I am convinced that daily sex with DH from days 12-25 was the winning formula for me! It was the first time we tried a marathon of everyday and it worked. Before that we were doing it every other day and obviously kept missing an egg when there was one!

Hi...i'm new to this site but I could do with some opinions....I have just taken my last clomid tablet (days 2 to 6)...its my first cycle of this.I am due to go for a scan on day 14 to check if there are folicles....but here is my question....my fertile window is from day 11 to day 15 so i'm gonna be busy between those days.doesn't this mean that theoretically I could get pregnant within this time....which is before the scan date?.what if the scan showed too many folicles? Its too late to say don't get busy then isn't it? if its all been successful..couldn't I already have caught??..help! I have been trying for 5 years with no help but recently found out I have pcos... So am keeping fingers crossed for clomid I guess! I think u've been patient but i'm now just sad ..Thanks

cam75 · 19/08/2008 14:11

dungungirl,

i am off from my part time job in the eveing for 2 weeks so i am going for it.
I think my problem was i don't think i was having enough sex so i am this week and next week. I can't help but feel extremely tired these clomid tablets are taking it out of me...
I am glad you are swell and it is all going well. I pray for your little bump to grow healthy, happy and wanted so much...

cam75 · 19/08/2008 14:16

babymadness,

I am on clomid cycle 4 but now i am 100mg as i aske the nurse to up it as i felt nothing was happening.
I took the last tablet today hot flushes are killing me like crazy. Yes you are right from day 11-15 are the days to get some loving!!!! IT's like we have been ttc for the same amount of time apart from i have had pcos for 10years.

You could be one of the lucky ones and get pg the first time.

fingers crossed for you xxx

Hello Ladies! Anyone mind if I join? I've been watching this thread for a wee while because I have been prescribed clomid and am about to start my 3rd cycle. I wasn't ovulating and that's why the GP prescribed it and my Day 21 results from cycle 2 showed that by progesterone results were 56, which I think are ok. No pg yet though! We started TTC 2 years ago in Sept - gets very depressing.
Looking forward to lots of us having success stories on here... nothing stopping us now!!

numpty1972 · 20/08/2008 10:57

ok ive finished the second course of clomid and i feel so sick with bad headaches every day,and don't get me started on the weight gain and spots!! is anyone else getting these probs?

cam75 · 20/08/2008 11:32

hi numpty1972,
i just finished yesterday, i feel extremeley tired and sleep on the bus, at my desk at lunch times. I had bad af cramping but other than that nothing else....

numpty1972 · 20/08/2008 11:40

yeah i know wot u mean about the tiredness! well hopefully it may happen this month, i got rid of my biggest stress in my life yesturday, i quit my job and feel so much better!!

cam75 · 20/08/2008 12:30

really? what will you do now?
I wish i could quit. i had 6wks off with stress when i stared my treatment. I have'nt told them at work it's none of there business.
Something has to happen now right???

nandos · 20/08/2008 14:22

hi everyone..dungungirl..cam75.. and the rest
sorry for the 'me me me' posts but i went to the clinic today and guess what?? my next appt is next year in march! Unbelievable.. and i dont even have any problems (had been to prvt doc recently)
they r going to check dh sample in a few months time n my blood test ALSO in a few months time..i feel like killing them.
sorry for venting but thank god i am going for a two month vacation otherwise i would be sitting here doing nothing for the next 7 months! might see prvt doc if i can't push it forward..
will see you guys when i come back from holidays and will try to log in to MN whenever i have internet access..
take care all

cam75 · 20/08/2008 14:40

Nandos darling how are you?

Wow that is a long time to wait?? they are a joke...
Hope you have a lovley holiday just realx and enjoy you never know what may happen...

clairebear88 · 20/08/2008 14:40

Hi all

Nandos - Well I wish I was on a 2 month vacation ( you never know this might be the rest you need to fall. Fingers crossed for you

Numpty - I have had pretty bad side effects so feel your pain. Sitting at my desk and cant even do my trs up as so bloated and uncomfortable. Worse thing is its because im ovulating but the last thing I wanna do is get jiggy when I feel fit to burst.

Oh well im sure we will all carry on reguardless until we have our bundle of joy.

nandos · 20/08/2008 15:37

hi cam75, it is definitely a joke isnt it
thought that due to ttc for so long they might see me sooner..but was wrong.
7 months is ridiculous! i seriously will get some kind of treatment sooner than this
goodluck with all of you taking clomid..might join you guys with clomid if i have it by end of vacation which is in october
will be here till sun so will keep typing till then

cam75 · 20/08/2008 15:52

I am really fed up with dr's do they not know that time is not really on our side!!!!
I need a some sun too.

Relax and have fun in the sun (wink)

numpty1972 · 20/08/2008 18:47

i'm gonna get a job with much less stress, i really don't care about the pay cut anymore, as long as i am calmer and have less stress in my life! maybe will stand more chance of getting pg now that i'm happier, just got to stop other half from drinking on sunday night, got my scan on friday to see if i'm gonna ovulate this month so fingers crossed!! he got 2 weeks of work so we can get down to it. it has to happen this month cos next month he will be back at work and we won't get a chance as he works nights and i ovulate midweek!!! not good! god i feel fat, not a great start for setting the mood. hope you all well. good luck to all of us. hopefully i will also get job i applied for. take care all. xx

sarashy · 20/08/2008 19:47

numpty1972 · 21/08/2008 19:34

how did you get on today sarashy? hope you were lucky, got my fingers crossed for you. x

sarashy · 21/08/2008 19:59

Well numpty so far good ish no sign of af but did a test this morning and was neg. just keeping my fingers crossed its to early to tell. If not it could be a good thing im a few days late as it will mean i can start my first round of clomid this month rather than next.
Hope everything goes well with yur scan tomos my fingers are crossed for you to and for the job.
I know how you feel about the nights thing, i do semi permenant nights n it doesnt go well for the ovulating thing.
Bad Bad thing happened today though. i got a needle stick injury off a dirty needle at work, and have been told not to have unprotected sex untill i get the all clear and that if i am pg then ill have to start on profalatic drugs. which could harm the baby. still hopefully low risk n theyll rush the results through, but im still pooing myself.
but thanks for the fingers crossed mine still are

numpty1972 · 21/08/2008 20:11

sarashy · 21/08/2008 20:14

numpty1972 · 21/08/2008 20:17

will do, just hope i can hold all the water in that they make you drink!! i don't know if it the clomid or my ibs but i need to pee constantly!! this gonna be fun. x

sarashy · 21/08/2008 22:35

lol it makes it even worse when the press on your belly to do the scan. i had to go back as told bladder not full enough, which was awful as i already needed to pee. x

numpty1972 · 21/08/2008 23:22

tell me bout it i nearly wet myself when had scan when i was pg with my son. question for anyone who may know the answer, is it poss to ovulate as early as cd9/10 as i have some pain on left side and dp just checked my mucas and thinks that i may be ovulating, which means we been doing it the wrong time every month, is it best to do it every day or every other?

numpty1972 · 22/08/2008 11:16

hello girls, had my scan today they said i will be ovulating early this weekend in fact and i have 2 eggs!! just the problem of actually getting pg now, dp has low motility only 30% of his little fellas swim forwards!! and he refuses to give up smoking, so if this doesn't work we won't be allowed ivf because of the smoking!! fell a bit more positive now i know i'm ovulating tho. it all up to him now!! fingers crossed, hope you all getting on ok.
