Hi Clwc

I have never really felt pregnant but my boobs are still tender and my stomach has really popped out so i just really dont no what to think, Im really preparing myself to hear the worst on friday so i dont get to dissapointed. This is such a hard time. XX

Hello Claire,

I understand why you don't want to get your hopes up after the elation you showed when you got your BFP. It must be awful to go through it all.

I've just run a nice hot bath with every bath bubble or shower gel (except DP's Lynx) I could find in the bathroom! My nerves are almost shot at the moment because DP and I are going to one of those 'free' holiday presentations in the morning - I started a thread about it. I need to relax. I hope you can have a relaxing evening too. x x x

Hi

Thought i would give this a go! Am on my second cycle of clomid 50mg, have got my day 21 bloodon tues, so fingers crossed i have ovulated. I am not sure, did have a positive opk on cd 11 but am not convinced as seemed early! I am starting to find it all quite hard to deal with

History
1x miss jan 08, trying to conceive ever since with no joy. ? pcos

Hi beab sorry to hear about your loss. I am 29 ttc #2 have pcos and had 5 rounds of clomid, know how you feel about it allbeing hard, we all know what your going through so you have come to the right place hun xx

Thanks Stac14.

Does anyone know what value should a day 21 progesterone be to show ovulation has occured? x

Beab

They like to see a value of 30 or more.

Would advise you not to use OPK's at all if taking clomid; it can make the OPK result inaccurate. Clomid can encourage LH levels to rise; the kit may well be reading that. Also many women with PCOS have an excess of LH to start with; this is also why usage of such kits is inadviseable.

Hello all,

Welcome BeaB and Attila to the thread

I am 30, ttc #1, had 2 cycles of Clomid, but wasn't being monitored at all, so stopped taking it. I am approx CD 43/44 today. Have had spotting, but no period so far.

I hope it works out well for you, BeaB Claire Still thinking of you x x x

Yes thought that might be the case but curiosity got the better of me! Might try charting my temps next month. At least that way i will feel like i am doing something to help

I had tried checking the position of my cervix, but I think that's a skill that takes many years to learn!

yes, not so sure about that one!!

Clwc are you still going to take the clomid, are you just waiting for af?

I have an appointment with the clinic on the 31st July (Over 1 year since I last went!). It was the GP who prescribed the Clomid to me, after a bit of nagging on my part, but they just don't have the facilities to monitor. I'll see what the gynae says. I hope to be put on Metformin before trying Clomid again.

hi, i am new to this site. I am 30 and ttc for two years. i have been on clomid for two months now. i had the pelvic ultrasound, blood tests and hsg - no PCOS or blockages in my tubes but tests showed i was not ovulating unfortunately. i have been for day 24 blood test today and hope to get results soon as to whether or not the clomid has worked and made me ovulate. Has anyone else had the same issues and if so, did the clomid make you ovulate and how long did it take? x

Hi Scuttler

I was taking clomind for 4 months in total and didnt ovulate the first 2 months then did the 3rd and again on 4th which is the month i fell pregnant but unfortunatly had a missed miscarrage which is getting removed on Monday.

What dosage are you on? How are you finding the symptoms? XX

Hey scuttler welcome to the thread, I am no longer taking clomid as it didnt work for me, but I have pcos and sometimes clomid doesnt work with it. I have hsg on 6th Aug just in case theres a blockage so they know what our next move is. Was it sore?

Hey claire hows you? I thought you were going in on Friday, hope your ok chick xxx

Welcome scuttler Best of luck with the results.

Claire, I thought you were going to find out for sure this Friday.

x post, stac. Hiya

Hi Clwc

I go in this friday for my last scan then they are going to book me in for the following monday (29th) to have the D and C. One minute im feeling alright and the next im feeling really down and unhappy.

I had a hsg done and it was fine, The lay you on this big bed thing and have this big machine over you (it looks like an x ray machine) and they put a speculam in like a smear and then put the duy in with a little tube, the only thing i felt was the speculum and it was over and done with in about 10 mins. XX

I took clomid in 2003 after unsuccessfully trying to conceive. My cycle is and still is very erratic. I had to take the drug provera to make me bleed so I could take the clomid. It was the most frustrating thing, every month absolutely nothing. I can't remember the dosage but I started off on the minimum dose, then double. Then on the day I was due for my hospital appt I naturally started my period. My consultant said that the clomid wasn't working and was going to refer me to a different hospital. I asked him if I could have one last go with the clomid because I felt because I'd come on naturally it might make a difference. He agreed to give me more but didn't really think it'd make any difference. I took it and didn't really give it much thought. About 6 weeks later I was cleaning my bathroom when I came across a test. I did it and it came up positive! I couldn't believe it! And to top it off when I went for my 12 week scan I found out I was expecting twins who are now 5! It was so frustrating and many tears were shed especially as so many of my friends were pregnant. Keep trying!!!

Thank-you Nancy10 Lovely story. x

Hey Ladies
how are we all today? Nothin to report here pretty much the same as usual lol xxx

Same here. Off to bed now (at last). G'night. xx

hey everyone quick update... i took ppls advise and want against what the doctor said and have been having looks of unprotected sex since the day i had the appointment. at the appointment i no the doc said very high change or a mulitple birth but that doesnt bother me, he said if i dont have sex until my period i def will have a period cd30 soo im on now cd 24 soo just have to wait and see what happens... im a bit neieve to how this all works, he said i have 3 massive eggs, do they get reaslised 1 by 1 or all at the 1 time???help understanding is needed lol.xxx

what u find strange is that everyone on here talks about getting blood take on cd 21... i dont have to get that... on the day of my scan which was cd11 i got blood taken to check to see if the 3 eggs were def eggs and not cysts, i had to call the clinic 5 hrs later for results when i called the nurse said ur blood shows that ur estrogen in ur blood was really high and there were def eggs and not to try for a baby this month becos it would lead to twins or triplet.... they never once mentioned when i would maybe ovualted or anything... im baffled by all this.. the doc said that if i dont have sex then hes certain i should have a period before cd 35....hmmm but why cd35 this would mean i would have a cycle for 35 days and my normal cycles are 28days..
confused heheheh

hey peeps

askim think its the hospitals perogative to confuse us so we ask less questions, I didnt get scanned but got bloods done on day 21, 28 and 35 to see if I had ov'd he may have said in the next 35 days as sometimes on clomid your cycle is longer. Do you have to take provera to induce af?

Hows you claire and clwc? xxx

They didnt tell me really anything...they done the scan and told me that he could see 3 very large eggs in my ovaries and that the clomid worked to much.. next thing he said was dont have sex this month until after ur period and well see about maybe letting u take the clomid day 1,3,5,7,9 so id be skipping a day each time...he said i want make sure they are eggs and not cysts soo he took blood i called few hrs later nurse said blood showed very high signs of estrogen which means they were eggs and not to have intercourse until after my period.and thats all they said... didnt mention when they would think i would ovulate.... the only thing im on is the clomid and thats all...
really stressing me out now.

Hey Girls Well i am absolutly shi**ing it, Im so nervous about tomorrow but i dont no why coz i no what they are going to say. Its so silly but there is a part of me that is so hoping they say they can see something but i no deep down that nothing has changed and that i will need to have the D and C done on Monday.

How is everyone?

Stac what is the next step for you? is it IVF?

Clwc is it the same for you?
