Hey sevans! I really don't know. I don't want to test because I know it will be a BFN, but I want to know what to do about the Clomid. Because I ovulated, I assume AF shouldn't really come much later than today. But maybe that 'bleeding' that I had was AF?! In which case I should have started the Clomid today.

It's all so confusing! I think I'm going to leave it till the morning and decide what to do then!

I'll let you know! xxxx

Hey sevans - you are correct im on CD26 and was told to wait till CD33 so not long to wait and I have everything crossed the old witch dont show up

Lilew - why dont you ring your docs in the morning and ask to speak to someone, even if its just over the phone they should get a doc to speak to you? x

Hello ladies. Ive had no internet for a couple of days and wow lots of posts to catch up on!
Congrats littlemissmischief lots and lots of luck. lilew i'd give the hospital a call, just to check. Hoping its good news for you.
Welcome Hyphen i've found this site really helpful and everyone is so kind and knows exactly how you feel. I lost my baby boy this year at 19wks and i've found this ttc extremely hard to cope with. I'm sure you, having 4 mcs are feeling pretty much the same. Wishing lots of luck xx
Welcome Debicemmy2 lovely to have new people to join us.
i had side effects right through i'm afraid, but only with 100mg.
sevans what cd are you on, think we may be cycle buddies?

Hi popsy! I'm on CD 5, what about you?

And yes, Lilew, I agree on giving the doctor a call.

CD4!! Be good to have a buddy I take clomid cd2-6, but decided to take them at night this time round. xx

Littlemissmischief - I have my fingers crossed for you! I'm on CD20 - first round of clomid as well. Have you any preg symptoms yet?

LiLew I have been told always take your clomid on your first full day of bleeding.......so if you start your AF in the afternoon take it the day after.....Thats what I have been told and doing hun.
Good luck

Morning ladies! Thanks for all your advice. AF has finally arrived properly now! I am going to assume that today is CD1 so will take the Clomid tomorrow.

To be honest, it's nice to know one way or the other so I'm just going to think positive! Bring on another month!...

Good luck to you all xxxxx

Great attitude lilew xx

Sorry said that wrong......been told to always take clomid the day after your first full day. So if your AF comes in the aternoon count the day after as your first full day.
Good luck to you all

Lilew, glad everything is sorted out for you! Best of luck this month!

Babydust to everyone!

Did a test today and got a BFN .
I know I shouldnt of done one but couldnt resist it, am so sure Im pregnant (but then Im the same everytime) but i have sore boobs, backache, feel sick at intervals through the day, get light headed everytime I stand up. Just wanted some good news for a change!

Hope everyone else is ok x x

Oh Littlemissmischief am so sorry about your BFN hun. I don't want to get your hopes up or anything, but my sister-in-law got a couple of BFN's before she got a BFP, so you never know. What CD are you on now?

I know what you mean by always thinking you're pregnant - I convince myself every month that I am! Unfortunately the symptoms are so similar to AF symptoms that you can just never tell.

Is this the first cycle you've ovulated for a while? If so, try to think of it that it can take a woman who ovulates every cycle 6 months to a year to become pregnant. So it's not likely to happen the first time you've ovulated for a while. That's what I keep telling myself anyway!

Kepp your chin up hun - AF hasn't arrived just yet so there's still hope

Hey Lilew thanks hun
I'm on CD28 today so know I shouldnt of tested today but couldnt help myself i have no will power! It is the first time ive ovulated for a long time, I had one normal cycle last October and got pg but miscarried and one normal cycle in 2006 where I got pg with my DS so got my hopes up it would happen again first time.

Im trying to keep positive though because it did take 4 weeks after ovulation to get a BFP with my DS so maybe this time will be the same (wishful thinking I think).

Thanks tho i feel better now, I just feel extra pressure cos I now everyone in my family could do with some good news for a change! x x

I'm sorry Littlemiss that you got a BFN. I think it was too early to test but I probably wouldn't have been able to keep myself away from testing either! Lilew is right, AF hasn't arrived just yet so there is still hope!

Thanks Sevans, I am not getting my hopes up though, cos ive now got really bad period pains and lower back pain so think AF is on its way

Anyway hows everyone else doing? x x

I am doing well. AF is finally about done! I took my third Clomid pill this morning and still haven't had any side effects. Hopefully that won't change anytime soon! I'm so glad the weekend is here. I am going to a birthday party for a friend's one year old and there are going to be babies everywhere at the party. I haven't quite reached the point where seeing friends with babies makes me miserable. Hopefully I never will because I will get pregnant soon along with all of you!!!

So sorry littlemissmischief, but as the others say AF hasn't arrived so there's still hope. How many cycles have you done?

Good news that your not having any side effects sevans.

I've just taken my last day today, so fingers crossed

Lots of love to all

Hello everyone I'm new here. Starting my first round of Clomid 50mg when my next AF shows up in about 3 weeks. My story is quite sad - TTC for the past 4 years. Now 33 years old. 3 early miscarriages (all naturally conceived and lost at 6 weeks), 1 ectopic (left tube removed) and most recently, in July, late miscarriage at 20 weeks (my beautiful baby girl Grace - no reason found for my waters breaking). I do ovulate normally and have always had a regular 28 day cycle, but due to only having one fallopian tube, my consultant felt we could give Clomid a go "for a boost". Not quite sure what he means by this as I had always believed Clomid was mainly for people with ovulation problems. We were just about to start Clomid in April this year but found out I was already pregnant after 13 months TTC.

So now facing starting all over again and just wanted to hear if anyone else has been prescribed Clomid for similar reasons? I'm willing to give the drug a try and trust the consultant. Just hoping I don't have to face another year plus TTC.

Hello Julia and welcome. I don't have any experience with taking clomid whilst ovulating, I have a no exsistant cycle, but i wanted to reply to your message. I also lost my baby boy at 19wks this year and it's heart breaking, devasting and without being too dramatic, changed my whole life . I haven't suffered as much loss as you have so i have no idea how you cope. Life is just so unfair at times.
Anyway just to let you know that we are all here to help. Everyone is so lovely and genuinely supportive! I had a convo with my hubby the other day about how i can't believe i discuss our sex life with complete strangers!!
Lots of love and huge amount of luck for everyone this month
xx

Hi Popsy

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your little boy - it truly is heartbreaking. You think once you pass the all-important 12 week mark you will be ok. I have no idea how I've managed to cope and sometimes still feel like it's all been a bad dream. Nevertheless, if nothing else, it has made us even more determined to have a baby and this time leave hospital together - all 3 of us.

I'm so glad I've found this thread and will keep in touch once I start the Clomid. I have no idea if it will be of benefit to me, but even if it just makes me feel more positive, then it's worth it!

Good luck to all

hiya ladies
sorry I havent been on for a while, we were away on holiday. how are you all? good I hope. I'm waiting for af to arrive on cd 30 but not holding out much hope for a bfp. whats been happening? I havent had time to read through yet but I will catch up soon xxxxxx

Morning ladies! Hope you are all well.

Welcome to the forum JuliaH76! I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I can't even begin to imagine what you have gone through - I've never experienced anything like that myself and I hope I never have to. I'm glad you've found us though! We're always here if you need to get things off your chest!

Keep us posted on how you get on with the Clomid

Welcome back stac14! I hope you had a nice holiday - where did you go? Are you on CD30 today? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a BFP for you hun!

The good news is that I ovulated last cycle so the 100mg are working! Unfortunately AF came, but at least I know that I am ovulating now!

xxxx

hey lilew it was bfn, kind of gathered it would be so its back on the clomid this month when af rears her head. how have you been? all good i hope. we just went to a caravan down the coast bit boring really lol

hows everyone else? xxx

Ah booo for the BFN stac14! What a bummer. Well, if AF hasn't arrived yet then there could still be hope?! My sister-in-law had a few BFN's before she got a BFP

Don't know what's up with me - it's probably just the clomid, but I just keep wanting to burst into tears all the time!! I must pull myself together and just enjoy life haha!
