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

[DungunGirl]

Hi ladies!

Hope you find the new thread!!!

Hey everyone,
Do you mind if I join you and gatecrash the thread? You all sound fab - and the idea of being able to 'talk' to people who are in the same boat is just fantastic.
So you know something about me (on the off chance you're intertested!) my basic stats are: DH & I have been ttc for 12 months. His swimmers are basically fine (slightly low count, but motility OK). Have just taken first round of clomid (50mg days 5-9). Thought I was lucky and had no side effects but then the day after I took the last tablet I began to get ghastly headaches and nausea which lasted on and off for about five days. I was also unbeliveably moody (even I found I wanted to rip my own arm off just so I had something to slap me with - so the fact DH was so fantastically tolerant is a source of great wonder to me). Am 32 (just!... 32 and 2 days in fact) so not exactly ancient - but am suddenly panicing now that the whole conceiving thing is all proving to be a lot less straight forward than I thought it would be...
Am also now a tad concerned that my GP is not doing any tests at all (neither before prescribing clomid nor since - and none are planned). None. Was just given the prescription for the clomid and told to come back in three months if it doesnt work... anyone else had this?
Crikey. Have talked too much so will sign off!
Blooming gargantuan buckets of baby dust to everyone

hello everyone,

i went to the hospital today, i have 3 nice size follices and i should be ovulating sunday and tuesday!!!!!! so i will be in bed all wknd long

I have to go back tuesday reason being as my doseage of clomid has gone up they want to make sure that i don't get pg with twins/triplets?

Hi Cam75,

Do they tell you 'no sex Mrs'?

Hi Cam75 - I wish you all the best my darling. And if you end up with twins/triplets it's meant to be. Bloody doctors they love playing god. My sister is a doctor and I always ask her,' so how big is your ego darling'.

Well be gentle with your hubby ok

Tiggers1976,

Re your comment:-
"Am also now a tad concerned that my GP is not doing any tests at all (neither before prescribing clomid nor since - and none are planned). None. hmm Was just given the prescription for the clomid and told to come back in three months if it doesnt work... anyone else had this?"

You've been badly fobbed off here and what is worse you've been given a drug treatment without any proper evaluation (along the lines of blood tests and or ultrasounds) beforehand. Clomid is quite powerful stuff and not everyone is suitable to take it in the first place. Also you do not have a diagnosis.

That is absolutely appalling on the part of the GP, I'd complain to the PCT. I would also move GP practice or at the very least now see a different GP; you've been given very poor service here.

I would also insist on now being referred to the subfertility unit at hospital; gynaes generally like to see people after 12 months of ttc without success. Both of you need to be further tested. Any test result over 6 months old needs to be discounted; you need up to date results and more than one semen analysis.

ok so got the better of me. done a test. still bfn and still no sign of af. argh !!!!
getting frustrated now wish it would stop getting my hopes up like this.

today im having a really bad day. started af 4 days late and was really beginning to let myself get my hopes up.
had an almighty row with dh last night about his controlling sister which probably didnt help my mood really feel s**t.

sarashy - if it's any consolation I am having my own issues with psycho sister in law (DH's sister)

why whats she doing moonlit? i could quite happily murder mine right now.

Well mine has this habit of making me out to be vindictive and manipulative. She sends these pathetic emails to both her brothers, with her version of events. Basically she has nothing better to do, but analyze my every move. People who have known me a long time, including my own family don't understand what her problem is. She is the most difficult person I have ever met in my life. I don't think she will be happy until my DH and I are divorced.

The stress she has caused me, is part of the reason I have been unable to get pregnant again. However, I have an appointment at the fertility unit at the end of September, so I am hoping I will finally get my clomid (even though clomid has had bad press recently).

One thing I have decided, is to cutt of the b from my life. I don't need the hastle!

So I bet yours is not as bad as mine?

mine said we should stop trying for a baby just so we can go to her wedding next yr that she wants us to find £2000 for as it abroad. she doesnt understand i dont want to commit to booking a holiday as im due to start clomid this month and fingers crossed.
but shes just been a big bi**h about it all and she knows just how to wrap my dh round her little finger. shes say jump n he says how high n what would you like me to lick on the way there, no matter how i feel.
i feel the sam that she wont be happy till we're divorced.
I just wish shed leave me alone n stay out of my life.
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

what are we like hey.
xx

LOL....Yes what are we like!!!!

But some people are just born selfish. Just ignore her. That's what I have learnt to do.

I feel bad for our hubby's, it's not really their fault. Ahh bless them.

hello... can join in? i have pco and have been ttc for 5 years. i am in my first cycle of clomid (day 14) and had a scan today. They said i have 3 big folicles on one ov and one big one on the other....so triplets would be likely! i dont understand fully tho....i thought i ovulated 2 days ago (day 12)...clear stuff i pants but the scan showed the folicles so i couldt hav ovulated yet, which is really disappointing as my hubby is away now so no more getting busy! we got busy from day 11, 12 and 13 but am now thinking i may not ovulate as today is 9 days after taking clomid....oh how confusing...i'm giving myself a head ache....oh no...thats clomid!!! anyone have a suggestions for me?! ps have had an ache on the left ov since day 12.....
