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

Fab news Little miss, well done! Well unfortunately first round of clomid didn't work for me, and I'm now on day 14 of my second round. Had some spotting a few days ago, not sure what that's all about. I'm also suffering with thrush which I've had each month since Oct, not good! Had lots of treatment and thought I'd finally got rid of it for good but it's come back! Argh! Oh well at least the sun is shining. Best of luck to you KW87. Does anyone think acupuncture is worth a shot?

hey everyone anyone here felt horribly bloated either while on clomid or when waiting for BFP? i cant fit into any of my clothes and cant anything tight around my waist. i felt so bad that i had to borrow clothes from my mum who is 2 sizes bigger than me.

i think i have gain weight everywhere too. sucks.

Hi KW, don't worry it goes, I had a bit of bloating but as soon as stopped clomid it went, I think it's juts ware retention not weight hunny. X

hello ladies. I have just finished my first dose of clomid this month and have my internal ultrasound on Friday. My partner and I have been ttc for 2 years now and after recent tests I just found out that I have PCOS. I was gutted when I first found out. My doctor prescribed Metformin initially as a start but unfortunately I had severe side effects and didn't achieve more that one pill. My partner has above average sperm count, which he is very proud about!! HCG showed that my tubes were fine so PCOS is the only known reason infertility. Hopefully scan on Friday will show some signs of improvement. Wish me luck!!

I am a bit relieved that others have experiences the spots on their jawline too!! I wondered what was happening to me.

hi everyone. Sorry to have gone for so long. I'm on cd 17. No + Opk yet. I'm frustrated. Does it mean clomid is not working for me. I started testin since cd 9 so i'm sure i have not missed it. Anyone got any advice before i go crazy.

Hi Precious. I was advised by my specialist and nurses that it is best not to use opk's as it will not give true reading due to the effect of clomid on your body. Hope this helps! How long have you been on clomid now? I started last week but waiting for scan on fri. Frustrating that the nurse told us we cant get busy until after the scan, feel like we are wasting time, lol!

dprescious-i got +opks on cd17,18,19 . my husband and i just had sex everyday once clomid course was completed. i am now waiting for my bfp. my temp has been high and my period is due tomorrow. i need to go buy a sensitive test cuz the cheap ones are still saying neg.

Hi everyone. Re the ovulation kits, when I went back to the clinic for my 21 day bloods they told me not to use either, they said, before ovulation the brain releases a hormone telling your body to release the egg, this hormone is what's present and is picked up on the ovulation kit, however she said some women have the hormone telling their body to release the egg but it stops there and their body doesn't actually do it and some just don't have a strong enough reading to show but they still ovulate and release the egg, or others just miss it as sometimes the hormone is only there a few hours (could be when your sleeping)

If you do get a positive opk still an amazing sign but because of the above still keeping going if you don't hope this helps? It's just what the doc/nurse taking my 21 day bloods told me xxx

Has anyone got any news? I ovulated on my birthday :) I don't mind if its not my month I'm just glad I'm back to normal. Hope everyone is ok x

hi ladies. Finally got a positive opk dis night. Does anyone think day 21blood will be necessary as i learnt is done 7days after ovulation and the surge in the opk happens 24-36hrs befor ovulation. I'm not booked for 21day blood or scan but can get one if want to. But i don't want to waste money if is pointless. KW, did you do day 21blood? Is there anyone who ov on cd19 or 20. Did you do day 21progesterone test.

Conceived ds after first month on clomid and didn't need it to conceive dd three years later (must've kick started something)?!

dprecious i havent fone 21day bloods my doc sent me in for progestrone tests around the time i should ovulate and this on the first month of clomid. i didnt ovulate but the month after with out clomid i had a higher count of progestrone and he told me to do second course of clomid.
i did use opks but we had sex everyday just so we wont miss it.

im still waiting for my period i think it should be 29 or 30. but all preg test so far are negative. not sure if this is my month but atleast i got a positive opk.

Hi all
Congrats Littlemiss! That's great news, hope the next 6 months sail by!

Dprecious, if you think you've only just ovulated, then there's no point having a prog test now, 5 days later would give you a good idea of your prog levels though, as I've been tested on day 19 before (with the assumption I ovulated day 14). It doesn't always have to be done a full week after ovulation to give you an idea of whether you ovulated. TBH regardless of what the nhs say about opkits, if youre doing a decent one every day around the relevant time then mine have never not worked, and this month on clomid made no difference either, i don't see why clomid would stop them working as youve usually stopped taking clomid by the time youre testing. Yes they dont mean youre def going to ovulate as they just measure the hormone surge that tells your body to release an egg, and your body might still not release an egg, but at least it gives you something to go on. The the prog test after will tell you whether you did or didnt ovulate.

Interestingly, this month, my 1st on clomid, my day 19 prog test was 43! I ovulated day 14 and its never been higher than 27 before around day 19-21 so the clomid must have done something this month. However I've started tiny bit of spotting today, day 24, which means this month didn't work, but normally I would have started spotting day 23 latest with my short cycle co clomid has def lengthened my cycle and boosted my prog so I'm going to stick with it for a bit...

Ps hi ricepudd! I have acu once a month and try and have it around the time of when implantation should be, around day 21 for me, and the acupuncturist works towards aiding that, have noticed some positive side effects with it, like ovulation spotting, when ive had it around day 14,for the first time, it's v relaxing, and the woman I see is great to talk things through with too, but I don't know any hard evidence obviously, maybe worth a try and see how you find it!? Xx

hi everyone. Hope you had a great day. I have been having pain in my lower abdomen. Not sure what it is since i 'm not having any ewcm . I'm completely dry. Anyway, i got pre seed today and hoping to get busy tonight. Lol. I may go for progesteron test on cd 23 just to be sure but i sincerely have the feeling God wil answer our prayer this month. Fxx for everyone. KW. I still believe you ve cot that egg. So be optimistic. Shameless..just hoping the best for us all.

Hi everyone

Just reading the thread and it gives me hope that clomid does work. I'm 27 me and my husband have been trying for two years. Done all the test and everything came back Normal. I'm so frustrated as I don't know why it hasn't happend for me.
Anyway the docs have given me clomid 50g for three months and I am currently on day 4 got a scan next Thursday to see my follicles. I have everything crossed that this works for me. As both me and my partner are slowly loosing hope!

Hi Zee, wishing you lots of luck!! I'm 27 also and have first scan tomorrow after beginning clomid last week, so getting really nervous. I just hope they say something positive. I have PCOS so have a 6 month course or clomid to try and give my ovaries the boost to produce a couple of decent eggs, rather than a whole load of useless ones.
After 2 years of ttc it is really hard, especially when you see others around you falling pregnant so easily. Lets hope clomid works for us, just like lots of other positive comments on here. x

hi dprecious. i have been having cramps and backaches too. not sure why but my temp is still up and im at 12 days past ovulation still no positive test. keeping fingers crossef since my boobs are heavy and i can cry at anything! keeping fingers crossed for u.

hi ladies. i went to the clinic to do preg test there still negative. i'll have to wait anothet week before blood test. i really hope it happens this month. i was so dissapointed because i feel nausea, temp is up, boods are sore and heavy and im one day late now. i guess i have to keep fingers crossed.

Scan day!!!! Eeeeek.....

Thanks hopeful27! Let me know how your scan goes fingers crossed everything goes well! Xxx

Ok..... so less follicles than before, altho still around 14 between the two ovaries. However, there is one good one! Progesterone test next fri and then I can up my dose of clomid from 100mg to 150mg if I want to.
Very hopeful that it is going to be a good month! Thanks Zee :-)

Hi everyone, I have just began my first cycle of Clomid. My husband and I have been actively trying for 3.5 years with no success at all and I have never in fallen pregnant. So far the scan/ovulation tests have been very positive. I am really trying not to get my hopes up but I am showing a lot of the typical pregnancy signs (nausea, dizziness, mood swings etc). I will be doing a test on Wednesday. I was just wondering if anyone had experienced these types of symptoms on Clomid without being pregnant? Thank you and good luck to everyone else who are going through this.

hi kim, welcome to the board. i have been having similar symptoms too but my tests have been negative and my temp droped to 97.5 today. though i am 2 days i dont think im preg.

good luck to you. i have blood test next yo check for sure incase i dont get period.

any one have those sympyoms?
