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

KW87 definitely have faith it will happen when you least expect it. Thats what I am told all the time as much as I don't like to hear it. Thanks littlemiss and shameless I will keep you all posted :)

Hi Everyone, new to this

Just read all messages. Gives me such hope.. just finished first round of clomid keeping my fingers crossed it works.
So happy for those of you who have been successful. Best wishes to you and baby bumps.....
I was quite surprised to read how early you can ovulate after clomid. Im usually late but I think i will start testing now im 3 days after last pill.

hi lovely ladies,welcome to newbies. I'm on 2nd cycle of clomid. Cd 27. I did a hpt today and disappointed, i got a negative. I used a sensitive test strip. I was so sure this was my month. I feel like commiting suicide. My dh has been supportive but he sure offer a child as he never fails to mention that in our morning prayer each day. I feel my past coming back to me as i lived a reckless life wit so many d /c now i think God has refused to forgive me my sins. I'm sorry if i'm boring you with my life story but i cann't help my self. I know af will soon arrive since i'm already having the pain in my boobs.oh God what will i do for you to give me a child of my own?

Hi m00gie, best of luck :) sending baby dust your way
Dprecious keep your head up we are all here if you need to talk. Does anyone else use bbt charts? If so what are your thoughts.
www.fertilityfriend.com/m/home.php/41aa4a
Here's my chart I'm a little worried that my temps are too low, but I've had a few dips. The first one looks like an ovulation dip before it rose @ cd 13.I'm now 8dpo and had another dip and wondering if its an implantation dip. I'm feeling quite light headed and tired. I had a positive HPT with my first bub @ 10dpo so I'm getting excited that its not much longer to wait :) I'm glad I have the opportunity to use clomid as I know I will ovulate it is definitely a wonder drug that has helped build our family that we mightn't had otherwise :) Baby dust to you all

m00giebaby · 09/06/2013 16:53

Hello everyone,
dprecious I know its hard but u are not alone. Please dont think you are being punished as that is not the case. Your past is your past. Your future is whats important now so you must think on. Remember all of us are here for you. Keep strong.....

nay88 No sorry I dont use temperature charts just the digital ovulation tests. Hope it is implantation bleeding for you!!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Keep us posted. I have taken clomid days 2-6 got tested and got a smiley face day 9 so dtd as much as possible and will again tonight.
nay88 is this your first round of clomid ? It is mine. Did you ovulate earlier on clomid. I did. I read that it is quite common and so luckily i listened to what a few ladies said and tested and got the smiley face.Shocked wasnt the word!!! I keep thinking I could have easily missed it... Thanks ladies it just goes to show how our comments and experiences can help others get through it all....
How soon does implantation take place?

Baby Dust to you all......

nay88 · 10/06/2013 07:28

Hi m00gie
Yes it's fab to have girls in the same position. I have used clomid cd 2-6 for my first pregnancy and it worked first go on 50mg as a result we now have a healthy 2yr old girl. We are trying for no# 2 and after a few months of trying my specialist placed me back on clomid. So it's my first round on 50mg for our second bub. Although I did forgot to take one tablet of clomid cd 5 but my gyno wasn't too worried she said just take it the next morning and I have ovulated early as I did with my first bub. I'm pretty sure I ovulated day 12 my first cycle of clomid this cycle i was a little later as I had forgot a tablet and ovulated cd 13. So with my experience I believe you ovulate earlier using clomid.
Thanks fantastic you had a positive ovulation test it makes you feel like you have a good chance :) I didn't get a strong ovulation test result cd 12 but did get two lines but I had so many other indicators eg cm, extreme ovulation cramps that it felt like my ovaries were burning and temp dip and rise which are all good indicators. I have my blood tests this week to double check I've ovulated and levels.
Dprecious we all have a 30% chance each cycle so never give up hope.
Only a few more days and I'm going to test I got my BFP with no#1 @ 10dpo :) oh m00gie implantation is around 5-10 days from ovulation :) As I chart my temps you have a temp dip that shows implantation I did with my first @ 6 dpo and I had a temp dip this cycle @ 7 dpo so it looks good so far will keep you all posted. Baby dust 🌟🌟🌟🌟

dprecious · 10/06/2013 15:59

oh.! How helpful and encouraging your words are to me. I'm especially grateful to you nay88 and maggieb. Is gud 2no there are people who truly care. I'm on cd 30. Last cycle was 31days, i tested again yesterday cd 29 still negative. Well just waiting for af to show. On cd20 &21 i had a serious cramp and pain that i thought was ovulation pains. I also had a dip in my temp but no ewcm, has anyone got preg without having ewcm? Also i'm thinking of taking a break from clomid this cycle(i mean if af shows ) but not sure if i should or not. My school exam is comin up soon, ttc has taken over my life that i'm loosing focus on my studies. Pls ladies i'll appreciate your opinion on if i should take a break from clomid or continue trying. Nay88, and maggiebabie, wish you d best wit your test .really wish i can meet you lovely ladies in person just to give you a hug. Baby dust to us all.

kala87 · 10/06/2013 16:17

Hi i was wondering if anyone can help. I got referred to the hospital as me and my partner and been TTC for 8 months and i have PCOS. I went there in April and was told they wouldnt give me clomid because i had a BMI of 32 and i would need to lose a stone 1/2 before i could have it. I have since lost a stone which has brought my BMI down to 28 and i have an appointment to go back to the hospital next Tuesday. Do you think they will prescribe clomid even though i havn't lost all the weight they have said. I have read other peoples comments and some people were given clomid with a BMI of 35 so im a bit confused why i wasn't given it in the first place :/ Thanks Kala

hopeful27 · 10/06/2013 18:13

Hi ladies,

Ok, so I'm CD 23 and have been really suffering with fatigue since Friday (CD 20) so much so that I can hardly move past 5pm and I'm asleep by 8pm. I want to think that perhaps it is a sign of early pregnancy, but??? After just one cycle on clomid so far I'm not holding out too much hope but do you think I could be this lucky?? I had my progesterone test on Friday so I may wait til Wednesday to get the result back and see what they say. x

fIngerscrossed123 · 10/06/2013 19:29

hi, im really new to this ,but just need a bit of help :)
i have been prescribed with 3 months of 50g clomid today and am a little unsure of something . we have been ttc for 1 yr and 6 months now without suscess.
the doctor has told me to take it on day 2 of my period for 5 days , but when you read up on it , they say day 3 or day 5 , why have i been told day 2?? has anyone else been told this?
any help would be great x x

hopeful27 · 10/06/2013 19:45

Hi fingerscrossed. I think it really varies from person to person. I am taking it day 2-6 on a dose of 100mg for 6 months, so there are all different prescriptions out there. Try not to worry xx

fIngerscrossed123 · 10/06/2013 19:55

thankyou hopeful27, im still a little confussed as to what days are best to ttc on if your taking it from day 2 ? my consultant rushed through it a little . xx

hopeful27 · 10/06/2013 21:44

Well I was just told to dtd every other day throughout the month to get the best result but it all depends on you and your partner. Hope that helps x

fIngerscrossed123 · 10/06/2013 22:12

Cool , thanks for your help hun xxx :)

Kimbob1986 · 11/06/2013 02:58

Since joining this group it has given such hope and it is really nice to talk to people who are going through the same thing.

Despite my symptoms I came on exactly 14 days after my positive ovulation test. I was so gutted and disheartened but looking at this has made me feel so much better.

Fingers crossed for this month :) And fingers crossed to everyone else out there. I am rooting for you all xxx

m00giebaby · 11/06/2013 15:27

Hello everyone great to hear from all of you.
dprecious Im not sure how many cycles you have done but I have read quite a few stories about women who have taken a break from clomid and then surprisingly conceived. They say that clomid gave ovaries a kick start... (not sure if that helps) if you do decide to take a break just dont give up!!! your miracle is around the corner!!!!!!

Thanks nay88, its all so confusing. As I said I got the smiley face on cd8 3 days after last clomid had cramps etc so I presumed I ovulated. But yesterday and today Im feely very crampy again cd11 and my stomache looks bloated. Ahhh this is doing my head in... I would love to be like you nay88 first time round. What were the earliest symptons that you remember having?.

Yes ladies as if its not hard enough for us they also want to to make it all a little more confusing by giving us clomid to take on different cycle days. Ive just finished clomid days 2-6. We dtd as much as we could the following two days. But that is also a challenge what with life commitiments and all. Hubby said he was exausted... oohhhh Ill give him exausted all right.. Dont they just have it sooooo easy. Nevermind, we will all get there some day and Im wishing you all the very best of luck.
My consultant has given me clomid for three cycles but has also referred us for IUI / IVF. We went to the patient information evening last night. Again, so much to take in. But at least we have it in motion.. our firt appt is June 24 I will keep you posted.
I pray clomid has worked its magic.....

dprecious · 11/06/2013 17:13

moogieb, you did put a smile on my face with those spirit uplifting words especially "your miracle is just around the corner " thanks a million times. You are God sent.i'm also believing God for your own miracle. I have done 2cycle on clomid i .e april and may both cd 3 -7. I'm still hanging in waitin for af or my miracle bfp. I hope everyone is fine. Nay88, how is everything with you. Have you tested yet? Anyone else with any news? I'll remember us all in my prayers. And my very good friend delivered of a bouncing baby girl. July 17 would have been my own due date had i not miscarried at 11wks.

m00giebaby · 11/06/2013 21:29

Hi dprecious, 2 cycles is nothing really. I have read many women do far more so dont give up. I know its hard but stay strong. When are you due AF I am keeping my fingers crossed and sending miracle baby dust to you...... Have you tested? would love to hear some good news...

anyone thinking of testing soon?

dprecious · 11/06/2013 23:17

i can't thank you enough m00giebaby for giving me so much hope and a shoulder to lean on. I just tested but got negative,not surprise tho as i'm having tender breast just like usual for when af is due. af is due today cd 31 as last cycle was 31days . I've decided that i'll try clomid again when af show and may be this time with much monitoring both for day 21blood and tracking the follicle on ultrasound though it ll mean extra cost but i just have to do it. my dh is sick. Sending lots of baby dust your way !!!!!!

Bigbird01 · 11/06/2013 23:41

Don't give up hope! Clomid worked for me on the 6th month. I don't ovulate regularly, but with Clomids help I am now Mum to my gorgeous 4yo twins.
I got a couple of side effects - headaches and hot flushes.

Best of luck to all of you going through this. Xxx

m00giebaby · 12/06/2013 06:15

Thankyou bigbird01 it is so nice to hear such good news and knowing that it worked for you on cycle 6 gives many of us such hope (dont you think dprecious?)

dprecious glad to hear you are going to keep trying. Soooo hard I know but all will be worth it in the end. Bigbird01 and other ladies are proof of that... anyway you still havent had AF so fingers crossed. Keep me posted...

I felt really funny this morning woke up several times feeling hot and cold and I am feeling really crampy down below. I hope this cycle has worked. Friday I will be 7dpo do you think that is too soon to test?

Anyway, hope you ladies have a good day... for many of us its another day of hoping...... Keeping positive!

I am smothering you all with baby dust..

SarahJ23 · 12/06/2013 07:01

First month back on 50mg clomid and just got a BFP!!!

dprecious · 12/06/2013 08:28

wow !!!! Sarah that's a fabulous newssssss. So excited and happy for you.I know it will stick. Thank God you never gave up. m00giebaby, you are such a mentor and i Looooove you. Your own bfp is just around the corner. You can test as early as 7-10 days after implantation so i think you should give it another 2days befor testing. We ll all get there! Fingers crossed.

ShamelessInTheCountry · 12/06/2013 13:02

Sarah- AMAZING!! Whoooop. Crossing everything for you until your first scan!!! Xx
