Hi all
Lauren hope you feel better soon rest up - you are going to need your energy!

I caved this morning (cd60) and did a test BFN guess it was what i expected but still upsetting especially as an hour after that my bro rang to say his son been born this morning.

Guess ive just got to wait for the witch to rear her ugly head so can try again. Going to go back to docs and try and get referred on and maybe ask for another lot of clomid.

hope you all having a good bank holiday weekend.

lauren Congrats hun, I am so chuffed for you, can't believe your having twins yay!! I am ok thanks have started on metformin and have heard good things about it so hoping it works, but if my aunts psychic is to be believed then I should get bfp or fall pregnant in September (we'll see lol) So how are you feeling? Is the sickness getting any better? It usually calms down after 12 weeks. Are you going to find out what your having? I remember on the last thread you said you would love twins I am so happy for you (soz for being all gushy lol)

claire hows you? Hows the decorating coming on? Think I was oving yesterday as had pains there but who knows. I go onto 1000mg metformin today so hoping I am as lucky as I was last week with very little side effects.

peju How you feeling hun? I mailed you on the other thread.

Hope everyone else is good, clwc not heard from you in ages is all ok? xx

Hello all! It's so nice to hear a success story with lauren! It really does help you not to give up hope! Congratulations lauren - how lovely to have twins Are you going to find out the sex?

I'm on CD 21 (2nd clomid cycle). Not sure if I've ovulated or not, but BD'd loads so if I don't fall pregnant this month then it's certainly not through lack of sex!

Still not really had any of the side effects I had last cycle, apart from feeling sick. I really hope the tablets are working

I've got a feeling that if I don't fall this month I'm going to be REALLY gutted. I'm terrified of feeling as low as I did leading up to and during my last AF!! I've tried to relax loads this cycle and not stress about things, but that might set me up for a bigger fall!!

Hope you're all OK xxxx

Hey lilew
Are you being monitored while on clomid? You should be getting bloods done on cd21 to see if you have ov'd or scans on cd 10 to check for ripened follicles. I know its hard but try not to be too down this month if its not bfp, ttc is a roller coaster and we are here to help out with anything thats bothering you. I felt the same as you in the begining but I am now trying to remember that not getting pregnant isnt my fault I am just unlucky but it will happen eventually. I think it really helped coming on here and speaking to people in the same boat otherwise I would have drove myself mad lol hope you get your bfp soon hun xxx

hows everyone else? xxx

Hi stac14! I had a CD21 blood test last cycle, but the results went straight to my consultant and I haven't heard anything yet. I'm due to see him on 14th Sept so I'll ask about it then. I've not had any scans or another blood test though. I'll ask about that as well when I see him next. Maybe he's waiting to see if I fall with these tablets and if not he'll start monitoring more closely?

You're right - it's nice to be able to speak to others in the same boat and support eachother. I'm feeling a lot better about things at the moment though so lets hope that continues!

Let's hope your aunt's phsychic is right and you fall this month

xxx

Hey lilew I doubt the psychic is right, I'm not that optimistic lol. My gp done my bloods and called me when I ov'd, your cons may just be waiting to see how your body is reacting to the clomid its different for me as this is my 2nd child we are trying for so kind of got different rules for me. Do you have pcos? if so you should defo be monitored when on clomid as you ovaries can be overly stimulated with the tablets. Listen to me going on and on lol How long have you been trying? xxx

Well you never know! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you anyway! Did you conceive your last child while on Clomid or anything?

I don't have pcos, and my tubes are all OK - I just hardly ever ovulate! We have been TTC for nearly 2 years now. I don't know what the next step will be if I don't fall on this batch of Clomid. I'll ask the cons when I see him...

x

Hey lilew I only found out I had pcos last year my ds was concieved naturally and to be honest quite quickly but that was 10 years ago and a lot changed since then lol. DP thinks this could be our month as I feel sick (but think thats the metformin), tired and a few other things but I think he is just symptom spotting lol
If the clomid doesn't work for you (hope it does chick) then you could be offered letrozole, iui's or ivf. There are lots of different things they will do for you chick so dont loose heart xxx

Hi all. I've only just discovered this thread, although familiar with mn as have been using the pregnancy loss forum.
Well heres a brief outline of my 'story' .
We have a DS who is 13 (conceived naturally) tried for 2nd child 4 yrs later n no luck. Found out i had PCOS and was put on clomid. We tried it for 9 months and decided to give up (obviously not easily) as we hadn't had any joy .
Almost 9 yrs on i fell pregnant again, naturally , but i lost our baby boy at 19wks. This has been extremely hard to handle. However we have decided to try again. I am just about to start my 3rd cycle of clomid 150mg and was just hoping for support, advise, reassurance and ultimately some hope as feeling very low about everything.
I have read some of this thread and it seems there is some hope but would love to join in with your chats if poss. x

?Hiya popsy welcome to the thread, sorry to hear of yoru loss hun. Hows the clomid treating you? I had hot flushes and mood swings, think it made me very low too. The pressure of ttc is a nightmare. The ladies on here are lovely and will ultimately try thier best to give you the help and support we find hard to get from our friends and families. Speak to you soon xxx

hi all, not sure if I have posted in here before?

Anyway... after getting pregnant on my first round of clomid and then miscarrying I am back on teh clomid and am now on CD29. Tested on Saturday morning and it was a BFN. When I got pregnant before I didn't get my BFP until day 30. Am scared to test.

This is my second round of clomid but I had a 2/3 cycle break between the first and second because of teh miscarriage. Does Clomid make your cycles longer? My old cycle was about 25 days long.

Thanks stac14. It's good to know that there are other options out there if the Clomid doesn't work. My DH symptom spots too! I was so tired yesterday that I didn't want to do anything and I slept during the day (not like me - I usually can't sit still for more than 2 minutes!). Straight away he said that maybe I'm pregnant!!! I try not to symptom spot but it's difficult when you're wanting it so badly! I'm on CD27 so we'll see. My last cycle was 33 days, so I've still got a little way to go yet. Here's hoping we both get a BFP this month eh hun?!

Hey beanie! I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage honey - I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like. My cycles could go up to 40 days before clomid. I'm on my 2nd cycle of Clomid now - my last one was 33 days. I've read that Clomid can increase your cycle by a few days though, so maybe give it a few more days before testing again? (easier said than done I know haha!).

Good luck to you both! xxx

Thanks for reply stac. Jus had message frm hospital saying to stick to 100mg n no need for follicle tracking as they know that this dose of clomid works. Is this normal to stop scanning?? My hubby n I r a little reluctant as they never scanned me during the 9months years ago n we never fell pg.
Re. Taking the clomid I feel okish a little nausea n av got really low but unsure if it's the clomid or loosing our baby or both.
Feeling particularly low starting this month of clomid as had so many symptoms last month we were both convinced I was pregnant.
Sorry to waffle but I don't really av any one else who understands it all.
How long av people been taking clomid?

Xx

hey popsy I was on clomid for 5 months but it wasnt working for me so I am trying it with the metformin (as soon as af comes lol) I never got scanned at all just bloods to see if I had ovulated but I have heard of them stopping scanning for others.

How is everyone else? all well I hope xx

Hey ladies. How is everyone getting on? I'm feeling very sorry for myself at the moment! AF arrived over the weekend and as predicted I went into a terrible mood and just want to cry all the time again now!!

Seeing the consultant today so hopefully he will lift my spirits again.

I swear your body just plays tricks on you - I had constipation, heartburn, no PMT - I was just so hopeful, and then BANG - knocked right back down again.

I seriously just feel like giving all this up - it just does my head in.

Sorry for being a drama queen - just need to get it out haha!! xxx

hey lilew you poor thing, how did you get on at the cons? x

I was like that last month. My husband n I were convinced we were pg. I had constipation, sore breasts n felt nauseous. Then af arrives. We were gutted. I cried all weekend. On cd 9 now n dread it all happening again. How do u all not become obsessed wi ttc? My diary is full of fertile dates clomid dates etc etc.
Does anyone suffer side effects after they've finished the clomid? I can feel really low n nauseous for a few days after.
hope yr all getting on well. X
