clomid success?

[rachie12]

Hi, im on my second month of 50g clomid hoping it works this time, i have been trying to become pregnant for 2 years now i already have a 3 year old daughter and they are not sure why im struggling to become pregnant again. I would love to hear some good news about clomid i dont think i can take anymore negative tests :( The hospital have only given me 3 months of 50g and said if it does not work they wont give me anymore! so i dont no what they do next. i havent really had many side effects from it just headaches. If anyone can let me know there experience that would be great thanks

Ahhh nice to hear from you perkins!!! What round are you on? What day did you ovulate? Fingers crossed for you this month xxxx

im not sure if i ovulate late, i had a little cm on cd 13 and 15 then a slight spotting on day 16 which i never have had before so i am hoping that its all good news. i wasnt really given any advice really, i was just given the clomid and told to go back in 4 months. i have had my day 21 bloods done today so i am hoping it comes back that i have ovulated! at least if i know i have ovulated at least i know i have got a chance eh?! but we shall see xx

Round 3 for me.....I guess if I got a smiley on CD 14 and 15 the I prob would've ovulated CD16/17 - ooh I should BD tonight then really! What day are you up to LittleMiss and Leanne?

I'm rubbish at looking for other signs and I'm not really sure what ov pains would be like.

Ha ladies!

I'm the same, haven't a clue what ovulation pains feel like.

I'm only on first round so been doing ovulation tests since day 9 (very early I know but was so scared if miss it) now on day 11 and still nothing although looking in here everyone seems to be between days 14 and 20 so I'm maybe been a little eager

I've got my 21 day bloods booked for next thurs too so hoping I ovulate before this Thursday xxx

today is day 21 for me, i didnt really want to do the ovulation test because i was scared of been disapointed! but i will relax when i know if i have ovulated or not.

i dont really know what im looking for just that your CM is like a egg white kinda texture when you ovulate, so i am just going from that. but i woke up though the night last night been really hot with lower back pain was funny as im never normally hot though the night im always cold usually! and i had what felt like period pain too which is not normal either, i dont really get period pain anyway only ever so often but to get it when im not on my period is strange xx

Ooooh that's good, that sounds like ovulation pains to me Leanne x

but i think i have ovulated before yesterday as i am on day 21... as i feel i had CM on days 13 and 15, i guess we will see soon enough wont we?? x

If thats the case it could be your little egg sticking fingers crossed. Whatever it is im sure its good news for you x

Morning ladies!

Eeeeeek im excitied this morning!!

As you know the only probelm they think I have is lack of pregestrone so I dont ovulate (dont know if I even ever have and im 30 this year)well i took Alexandras advice, have been peeing on a stick every day and bingo!!! big clear blue smiley face this morning on day 13 so thinking I will ovulate tomorrow (day 14) and i have my bloods booked for next thurs day 21 which is perfect!!! I cant believe it!!

First months and it looks like its kick started my ovulation! absolute wonder drug!

So pleased!!! anyone know how long ive got to catch that egg??? Wont see partner until tonight x

Yay littlemiss remember you get the smiley face before ov so it should follow soon, anything from 12 to 36 hours after (might be wrong but i think around 24 hours roughly might be a good estimation, think it was that long for me as I got twinges in the office 24 hours later). So seduce your partner tonight the minute he gets in and then again tomorrow night for good measure! And Thursday maybe depending how you're feeling then, I would say tonight and tomorrow are key dtd times! Exciting, make sure you stay lying down after dtd in case that makes any difference at all! Good luck xx

Oh and remember Brazil nuts and a glass of full fat milk tonight, and lots of protein and veg - will post that link I was talking about on the other post below now....

Ok meluv so I was cycle one, had an 18mm follie on day 19, then a smiley face OPK on day 20 so dtd on the 19th and 20th a couple of times around that but that's when I think we got it. I ate really well, loads of fruit, veg, nuts, full fat milk, protein. Kept my tummy warm leading up to ov, did exercise leading up to ov, and also did weekly acupuncture. I have no idea what helped and what didn't but that's everything. Oh and no caffeine at all! And a bit less than usual!

Ohhhhh thanks Alexandra - caffeine is my downfall I think, I have about 4 coffees a day!!!! ill stop that ha!

Yep ill grab him tonight, tomo and thurs I think - hee hee x

Yes - stop the caffeine and start the shagging! That's your mantra for today haha x

how do brazil nuts and full fat milk help? i haven't heard that before. i have heard about grapefruit juice and i tried that but i couldnt drink it as it was horrible!! xx

Grapefruit juice is for cm, you're meant to to drink leading up to Ov. Seems to be working for some people on another thread I'm on. Brazil nuts are meant to be good for uterus lining and implantation etc. Organic full fat milk, a friend recommended for cm, and I kept drinking and eating organic eggs because I thought it might help with implantation too.

Also just been reading about foods that help with progesterone if it's useful for anyone! www.livestrong.com/article/539170-foods-that-naturally-increase-progesterone/

Hello there,

Im new to all this and came across it on my lunch. Ive learnt more and got more reassurance from reading the msges than any of my doctors / hospital appmnts!

Ive been on Metformin since Oct and on my third cycle of Clomid, I have PCOS and dont ovulate......clomid at the moment doesnt seem to be working and it also makes me extremely depressed and unhappy all the time, often crying for no reason and always bloated. Im tempted to stop taking it but it sounds as though others have been the same?

Its reassuring to know there are others out there in a similar situation. :)

Thank you for the diet advice girlies, ill take it all on board, everything you guys recommends seems to be working for me

Jemima welcome!!! Keep at it I'm sure it will kick in, it seems to e that months 3 is the most effective too when you read through the posts. Allot if ladies seem to get lucky on month 3. Are they monitoring you? Have you ovulated on the pay 2 or do they not know? Xx

Thankyou Littlemissworrier :)

Its the most positive ive felt in weeks. I will have to have a proper read through the posts later tonight.

Yes I have a day 21 blood test every cycle but so far no joy. The pain in the neck is that I have all the symptoms.....hey ho.. You never know.

Im also having reflexology as I will try anything. x

bless you keep positive - month 3 could be your month x

Hi Ladies, well I think I might of missed it??

I had negative ovulation test yest morning but positive one this morning - yey!!! just thought id re check it now but its negative agian??? has my slot gone? have i missed it?? so so gutted!!!

Thiught maybe as its late in the day my wee is diluted so will test again in morning and still have sex tonight but im a bit disapointed and confused, was so excited this morning
x

littlemiss was just logging on to see if you'd completed your dtd mission - am glad I did as NO you haven't missed your slot at all! The OPK detects your LH hormone surge, which you've had today, this is then followed LATER by ovulation, anything from 12-36 hours. My OPK was only positive for a few hours and then negative that evening too, that's normal, the surge can be quite brief. So jump on your DP with renewed optimism!

Right I'll leave to it and go away to panic think about the next 12 weeks and whether all will go well. Am also watching one born every minute. That will help me distract myself hey!

Ahhhh Alexandra you really are little miss worriers very own little miss sunshine xxx

I am a little miss worrier too but it's really nice being your little miss sunshine! Now dtd if you haven't already!!

Ah dont panic Alexandra, you are doing everything right and I am sure you will be fine, hope you didnt scare youreself too much with one born

xx
