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

Hi The Red Queen and Rachi,

I have has those comments from people "if you stop thinking about it it will happen", "it's not the end of the world" and my favourite "come on you've been married for years, you need to pull your finger out and have babies". Each time I hear these I won't to punch them and I'm not a violent person. I understand that it must be hard to know what to say to someone who is going through it but maybe if they just agreed that it was I terrible thing to go through then that will be better.

I am 27 with PCOS and my husband and I have been trying for 3.5 years for our first baby. This is my first month of Clomid so fingers crossed. It is so nice to find people to talk to who understand. I wish everyone the best of luck on their journeys and will be thinking about you all xxx

Hi KW87,

I will definitely have my fingers crossed for you!! It is the most horrendous feeling, not wanted to get your hopes up but then I also day dreaming about telling my husband, family and friends which makes my upset too. I have been told to do a pregnancy test next Thursday as my cycles are very irregular e.g. Anything from 30-50 days. I did do a test which was negative yesterday (I know very premature!).

I just wish it was easier!! My thoughts and prayers are with you xxx

hi kW. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that af stays away. You definitely going to get a bfp by God's grace. Also welcome to all d new posters. A brief update: i had a dip in my temp.today is cd 20. Cd 19:36.1, cd 20:36.3. Dtd cd 19. No dtd cd 20 as dh is sick and is placed on antibiotics. Hoping to have implanted(lol) so i'm afraid d drugs will affect it. AIBU. What does everyone think, should i go ahead and dtd tonight (i.e if dh got d strength cos he is really complaining )

thx ladies!!!
dprecious.. id dtd if he is up to it.

actually dont cuz u dontwant to get sick..

got my period today exactly 14days after ovulation. not what went wrong but im not going to try clomid next month and instead get my tubes checked since the doc didnt do that yet.

good luck to the ones waiting... i will happen

Good luck to everyone this week!!! We will do this together xx

Hi kimbob, unfortunately those were my exact symptoms on this, my first month, on clomid and although I ovulated, I didn't get pregnant. Hope it,s better news for you....I so know what you mean about your daydreams running away with you, and that just makes the disappointment all the worse. But it has to happen for some of us and maybe this month it is you!!!!

Thanks Shameless, I think I will give acu a try, why not hey! Well my period is due in a few days time, I'm on holiday at the mo with lots of friends, trying not to drink too much alcohol or caffeine, just in case!

Hi Ricepudd, it's so annoying having to watch what you drink, then you come on your period anyway and wish you'd just gone for it on the wine and coffee front!! Im now trying to cut down sport, caffeine and booze after ovulation for the 10 days or so until I know whether I'm pregnant or not, but Im really unsure whether it makes a difference, at the end of the day I know so many people who got pregnant and were going along doing everything they we doing before, and I feel if I don't get pregnant or miscarry its most likely because there is something wrong with the embryo, or the meeting of egg and sperm just didnt happen, it's unlikely to be because I had too much bloody wine or coffee 5 days post bloody ovulation for example! Nevertheless you want to be careful- just in case... Grrrrr
Currently on day 3 of round 2 clomid, decided to try 75mg this time as 50mg gave me a nice 20mm follicle on day 12 but to no avail last month, even though I'm pleased clomid boosted my progesterone result massively and also lengthened my cycle to a more healthy 26 days, ovulated day 14.
Good luck all!!

Hi all, I'm on round 1 of Clomid, 11 DPO - I hate these last few days! Go a BFN yesterday, but it's probably too early to test grasps at straws.

Good luck to everyone :)

Hi everyone,

I wondered if I could join you?

My periods have been missing in action (bar a few random days here and there) since coming off the Depo Provera injection in October 2011. DP has had the all clear from his 3 SA tests, my ovaries look healthy (no PCOS) and blood tests have all come back satisfactory.

So, the consultant has started me on clomid as the issue seems to lie in my not ovulating. I had a provera-induced period last week and have taken 25mg of clomid days 3-7. This seems like a tiny dose (it's half a pill), has anyone had any success on this dose? The consultant wants to start things gently with me and as I am quite thin thought that 25mg might kick something off.

I have had the most hideous night sweats (urgh!) since taking the clomid (last pill was yesterday), and I'm very much hoping that it works!

hi lovely ladies. Welcome newbies. I'm on cd 23. I have strong faith in God that he has answered my prayer already. Just waiting to confirm it. Wish every other person here the same.

Hi,
I'm new on the thread. I wanted to share a success story :) My partner and I were TTC for 12 months before going to the doctors and being referred to a specialist then placed on clomid. First round of clomid on 50mg we conceived our beautiful baby girl who is now 2yrs old. We are now TTC baby no#2 and I have been placed on clomid again after constant irregular cycles. We did conceive in March before clomid but sadly ended in a m/c at 5 weeks. Af returned to its irregular patterns so I was prescribed provera and clomid for a kick start. I'm currently CD 17 no positive OPK's but CD 12-14 I had serve cramps like ovulation cramps on both sides and a temp drop CD 13 and temp rise CD 14. Can opk's be wrong? Could I have missed the LH surge? It definitely felt like I was ovulating. Has anyone else on clomid had cramps or swollen ovaries around those days? We are really hoping it works first go again :)

Hi nay88

Firstly congratulations on your healthy baby girl - that's great news!!!

I have a similar success story, my periods were very irregular after coming off the pill and when I finally did have a period and the 21 day bloods were taken to check all ok I was told I was not ovulating. I was so confused as I had received a positive ovulation test on the clear blue pee stick!!! But doctors said I definately hadn't ovulated as my progesterone levels were so low - I was so upset!!

As we had only been trying for 6 months the nhs wouldn't help but said clomid could help bug i would have to go back in 6 months time. Knowing clomid could help and that I wasn't ovulating, I couldn't wait another 6 months so we went private.

I was prescribed 50mg of clomid on 7th march to kick start ovulation and increase my progesterone and bingo conceived first month and got BFP on 1st April (April fools days I know!!!)

I am now 13 and a half weeks pregnant and had my first scan just over a week ago - amazing!! It really is an amazing drug and it does work!!!

Re ovulation tests I hope this helps, it's so confusing I know but im not sure that they are 100% although still a great guide?

Sending everyone lots if love and baby dust x

nay 88, thank you for post it gives me faith and hope that it can happen. i have done 2 rounds of clomid and i ovulated on round 2 but no luck not sure what went wrong. im going to wait june out and try in july with clomid.

No AF this morning and I am usually like clockwork. Has anyone elae with regular cycles found that Clomid has altered them? I had a BFN yesterday and the day before. I don't think I can face another one today...

Congratulations littlemissworrier, it's so reassuring to read stories of it working, sometimes I feel as though it's about as likely to happen as winning the lottery!

Welcome newbies! Nice success story nay88, I think opks can definitely miss the surge, either just unlucky timing when you tested and the FSH wasnt strong enough then so you missed your surge, or if your bladder was too full your urine may have been diluted too much for the FSH to show up...
I get cramps before and around day 14, it was heightened on clomid, so I'd say your symptoms def sound like ovulation.
Hey birdie, clomid lengthened my cycle by a couple of days last month, I started thinking I could be pregnant because i came on a little late but nope! I know its hard, but maybe leave the pregnancy tests and just wait a few days...
Otters pocket - 25mg is the smallest dose but if you're getting side effects then its likely to be working. Im taking 75mg at the mo, i take it before bed to lessen side effects but get sweats in the night sometimes. Are you getting a mid cycle scan to see if you're producing an egg, or progesterone tests later in your cycle to check you ovulated? If not you should be, as that's the only way they'll know the dose you're on is working. I was given a day 12 scan which showed 50mg was working, and then I just rung my GP and booked myself in for a day 19 prog test (day 20 and 21 were out as it was a wknd), I told them I'd been told to book one by my consultant, and they never check, they just book you in with a nurse, hehe!
Littlemiss, glad you're doing great!!! Xxxxxx

hello
i have been on metformin (500g) for 1 year to take 2 of them a day
than a month ago they have put me on Clomid this is my frist time with clonid i had to take one tab 2 to 6 day of my period than on day 21 i had to have a blood test than 3 day later to call them to see if i have ovulated or not and they said its 62.7 wish is i have ovulated and i do have pcos to
the thing i want to know is whats 62.7 i have looked it up but cant see what it means xx

i forgot to say i am on Clomid 50g 1 tab 2 to 6 days

It's your progesterone level, Juliann. Hope that helps!

Well AF arrived this morning, so ut ofr this month. I managed to get my blood test results off the consultant though and the levels have gone up to 29 - I think last time they were 20, so an improvement! I've read on-line that it should be above 30 (does that help you Julieann?). I did have the test 8dop though (according to my monitor). The day 21 test never seems very precise to me as it seems that it could be so easy to get it a day out and have a mis-leading result. Maybe if I had gone in 12 hours earlier or later, it would have been higher!

When I first started clomid I had a lot of pregnancy simptoms but was not pregnant, keep your fingers crossed but try not to get your hopes up. Hope to hear good new from you soon x

Thanks Girlies for all the advice. I know it's hard month after month but Inwas lucky enough to c
