hey guys am feeling good .......1st round of clomid complete - no side effects just normal ....am just not stressing myself too much ..will keep you posted ...good luck to you all ...xxxxx

tembie how exciting! I'm glad you didn't have any side effects. I am anxiously waiting until I can take my first round. I am looking forward to hearing your updates. Will you go in for a scan or bloodwork? I will be crossing my fingers for you

Hi everyone

Hope everyone is ok, ive had really sore boobs and weird stomachaches and cramps, not getting excited tho as I know its likely to be the Clomid and not anything exciting, having my blood test on friday to see if ive ovulated so fingers crossed for then. Apart from that just been up the hospital with my Dad so atlesat I cant obsess about things as im too tired lol.

Sevans - Glad you had a nice weekend,I was told to take my Clomid on CD2-CD6 not sure why different docs tell you different things and whether it actually makes a difference, can any of you other ladies shed any light?

Hey Tembie - glad you had none of the dreaded side affects! Good luck x

stac14 cant wait to get going on the clomid!! Basically i had my scan last night and apart from a 17mm cyst on left ovary all is great, the sonographer said i should fall pregnant quite easily on it so that was very positive!
All the sories are really helping me to keep positive about it.
hugs

Hi ladies, hows your week going so far?
Well, i had my cons appointment today and as i thought nothing really came of it. Got clomid for 2 more months and then another appointment, although the earliest date i can get with my cons is almost 3 months! The only positive is that they are now giving me cd21 blood tests to check progesterone, although reluctantly.
Cd 31 now.
Littlemissmischief, i also take clomid cd 2-6. Haven't a clue what the difference is.
lockets24 all sound very positive, how long til you start clomid? mumsnet has been grat for me both on this thread and when i lost my baby boy, really helps 'talking' to those that know!

Hello everyone.

im really after lots of advise.. first time on here,nd not sure of all the abbreviations! lol.

im lead to believe i have POCS,i havent had a period for 2years,so they have me provera.which i took for 10 days and hav my period on the 14th day!
im on day 12 of my cycle(never been so exited to have 1!!lol)and took 100mg clomid,ive also been taking metrofomin 1500mg,i had an internal scan on friday, 1st 1 and said that my folicals are small,they are 6 she said they should be 18 or above to realse eggs(not sure if that mm or what)
to be fair, i havent been given much advice and find it a little frustrating!

i was sick on the clomid. ive constantantly felt un energentic/tired since taken medication.(im genreally quite energentic gym person)just fell like want to curl up on the sofa every day!also feeling dizzy.and was getting massive headaches.whcih have stopped now for a few days!

ive seen comments of here of people releaxing!!?? Gym or chill? lol

really open to loads of advise girlies

Hi ladies,

Can any of you tell me, how long after you have your CD21 bloods can you ring for the results?

Hope everyone is ok x

Littlemismischief I phoned for mine the next day x

Welcome CSparks! You are a little ahead of me in the game. I am on my 8th day of Provera (out of 10) and I will begin my first round of Clomid once my period starts. Hopefully mine will start soon after the 10th pill like you. I'm really excited to begin Clomid. DH and I TTC for three months but I didn't ovulate that whole time and got no period. I also have PCOS. I'm sorry to hear that the Clomid made you sick. I believe one of the girls said it may help to take the pill at night. The doctor started me out with 50mg. Anyway, good luck! I'm sure some of the other girls will be able to give you more advice than me!

Thanks Popsy, mine will be done this friday so I will ring on the monday afternoon and pray that I ovulated! x

Hi girls,
I am new here...here's my story I am 36 yrs old - we have a beautiful little boy - 2yrs, and have been TTC for a year. I am scared about secondary infertility. I ovulate each month, but not getting pregnant. Doc gave me clomid for 3 months- 50mg 5-9. Just finished 1st round of clomid - day 13 - no side effects...just praying that we will be lucky this month. I am wondering if anyone here is going through the same thing? Any success stories at my age on clomid? We soooooo would love another baby. I love this forum. I really enjoy reading your stories.

Hey sevans think af is due round about the 16th what about you? It will be nice to have a cycle buddy lol I am on metformin and it seems to be regulating af for me. I used to take provera and af came about a week after I stopped it but I took 3 tabs per day for 5 days. Any signs of yours yet?

littlemissmischief my docs called me if I had ov'd but if your getting bloods done on friday it may be tuesday before results as they close at weekend (soz to be the bearer of bad news)

Welcome to the thread kimpin Your so lucky not having any side effects with the clomid lol. Have they checked your bloods or done scans to see whats going on?

popsy have they said what your next move is after these 2 months?

Glad your well tembie good luck hun

Hope everyone is well, I have tonsalitus starting which I can be doing without as we are going away next week, I would rather stay at home to get this house sorted, its like steptoes yard cos we are stripping it so it can be decorated when we're away (nightmare lol) Take care xoxoxoxoxox

No blood tests or scans...doc just gave me 3 months rx of clomid & a referral to a specialist if not pregnant after 3 months...thought it was kind of strange..but doc seemed pretty confident about this drug..

kimpin, I was given clomid despite ovulating already. I am 39 and trying for my first. I got pregnant on the first round but then miscarried. Am now on round 4. Also haven't had any scans since the first lot.

Is it usual to take it on days 5-9? I have been told to take it days 2 - 6.

Hey Stac - your not the bearer of bad news hun, i know they may not be ready monday, just typical mine falls on a friday so I have the weekend to interfer I will ring monday just incase tho, my i'm impatient!I also sympathise with the tonisiltis, I had it for years but finally got mine taken out when I was about 14 I was then promised I would never have a sore throat or anything again, I then got glandular fever and always have sore throat so that didnt work out! lol. Hope you have a nice time away x

Welcome Kimpin - Glad your enjoying the thread, it is great speaking to people on the same boat isnt it. Im not going through the exact same thing as you, I'm 26 but I too have a DS and have secondary infertility. However I dont ovulate hence the Clomid I am on round 1 and feeling very you didnt have any side affects cos mine have been evil. Good luck hun x

Duellingfanjo - I take my clomid on CD2-6 too, i think it depends on your cons and your circumstances not sure why tho? x

DuelingFANGo - Sorry about your mc - I had 2 before I started clomid.
I don't know if it is 'usual' or not...like I said, I am new to this too - I am still learning about clomid.

Thanks Littlemissmischief - you are all so welcoming..so nice. How long have you been on clomid? and ttc?

Your welcome Kimpin, we girls have to stick together right . This site is so good for that because me and lots of others I have spoken too have not told people we are ttc so its good to have somewhere to speak to people. I have been ttc for just over 2 years and this is my 1st month of Clomid, im on CD20 so just playing the waiting game at the moment x

Hello all, i hope you are all well and those horrid side effects are being kind!!

Welcome kimpin

Well CD 33, still no AF not sure what to think really.Haven't dare to a hpt yet, keep putting it off, mainly because, i'm sure you ladies will understand, is once ive done a hpt if its a bfn (which im sure it will be) i have to deal with it. Does that make any sense???

stac14, they haven't said what the next steps are. That'll be a 'lovely' xmas pressie for us to look forward to! My appointment is 22nd of December!!

Littlemissmischief - I hope for you that this is the month Has anyone heard of taking baby aspirin while on clomid?

Hey Popsy - I so understand what you mean, I have seen so many BFN now I dont think I can handle one more or I will crack up! Although I was told by my cons if i didnt come on by CD33 then to assume I was pg, not sure if this varies from person to person but really hope its the case for you

Kimpin - thanks hun, hope the Clomid does the trick for you (and everyone else) too. Ive not heard of baby asprin, can you elaborate please x

Hi girls! I did some quick research on google to see what the difference is of taking Clomid on different cycle days (2-6, 3-7, 5-9). Apparently you are more likely to produce more follicles the earlier in your cycle you take Clomid, but these follicles are of lesser quality than the follicles you produce by taking Clomid later in your cycle. So, earlier = higher quantity and lower quality and later = lower quantity and higher quality. I don't know how correct this is. Like I said, I just researched google. Please correct me if I am wrong. I would just suggest following your doctor's orders.

stac it would be nice to be cycle buddies. I have no idea when AF will arrive. Tomorrow is my last day of Provera and I am really hoping that AF will arrive soon after so I can get started!
