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

Fingers crossed littlemiss!

I dont bother with cm (cervical mucus I think?!) cos its down to interpretation andI like definites (hence digi opk's and hpt's!).

Went to doc yesterday, giving me another 3 months on Clomid but with a small amount of aspirin and some progesterone pessaries to help with early mc. He also sent me for more bloodwork inc rubella and lupus and something else I can't remember! He really hopes not to see me again (as do I) but said nxt step would be to check chromosomes.

Is anyone nearing the end of their tww?

Thanks Perkins

Another 3 months, thats good, fingers croosed. How many months have youalready had? have they upped your dosage? x

Just on my 3rd month now and they're sticking with 50mg as I ovulate naturally anyway and this is just to give it a boost. Doc was happy with my day 21 results from the 50mg also. I must admit my doc is lovely and I came out feeling much more positive than I had been feeling the few days beforehand.

Ah thats great news Perkins - sure you will have ggod news soon.

Im leaving for hospital in an hour so fingers crossed x

Good luck littlemiss x

Thanks Alexandra.

Scan all went fine, tubes are open and overies/womb all look normal - yey!!!

Last period was 10 days ago but as they are so irregular she checked my overies for folicals ??? anyway apparently she could telll I have no period coming in the next 2 weeks so they have startd me off on clomid today!!! I acnt believe it - finally!!!

Yay littlemiss that's great news, brilliant. I was so anxious I got all faint in mine and had to lie back for a few mins, I honestly thought I was going to be sick! (the specialist looked a bit worried I was going to puke all over his equipment haha!) Anyway your result was better than mine as apparently my uterus is a funny shape and I've got all the ovarian cysts, but I was SO happy about the tubes seeming to be clear.

They made me wait for my period before starting clomid though? Said it had to be from day 2 of a cycle? Oh well, at least you're on it now, are you going to be scanned on it to check the follicles for growth?

Yey we both have clear tubes!!!!

I know my perscription is the same, ive got 3 months of 50ml and ive paid private for all this as nhs wanted me to wait another year grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

They said because my periods are all over the place the clomid should regulate me to a 28 day cycle and half way through thatyour release a folical to indicate a period is on the way, ive not got this so im still definately 3 weeks min off a period so she said she was happy me taking today fo rnext 5 days, then if no luck this month start next lot of day 2 of my period so im on 50ml on days 2-6? that sound right?

They arent scanning me but I am back on day 21 to have my blood chceked to chcek all working and dosage diesnt need upping.

Phew does that all make sense?? are you been scanned??

I know exactly what you mean re been sick, i found it really painful - partner was great though bless him (think he has a brused hand hee hee)

xx

Yes I'm being scanned, surprised you're not on private? I'm NHS. Doing it days 2-6. 50mg, so snap. I am really hoping right now I'm making a baby! Fingers crossed. Funny about your partner and the bruised hand! x

Ooh exciting times LittleMiss! My last cycle on clomid was 28 days so it's regulated me, I do ovulate early now though so bear that in mind when deciding when to pin your other half down

Thanks Ladies!!!

Hmmmmm Alexandra I might call the clinic, bet they willscan me if I ask for it and pay for it grrr!! prices get crazy!! just the 21 day bloods are £50 a go! eeek!!!

What does the scan show, do you think i should ask and do it?

Perkins thats great news, what cycle of clomid are you on now??? how do yu knw you ovulate early? do you use fertility sticks? x

It was reslly useful for me as they saw a little follie growing apparently and then on day 18 he said it was looking quite big so I could ovulate soon and then I got a positive OPK the next day! One thing though, I did the clear blue sticks which get a smiley face (bought of amazon) and I had a positive at 1pm but it was negative when I tested again in the evening. Now, I'm hoping that's not a bad sign but my point is you might want to do your sticks once at 11am then again in the evening, to make sure you catch the smiley face especially if you're not being scanned. I've also heard of some people being warned of multiple births after over stimulating their ovaries with clomid. Mine didn't have that risk though, just one sizeable follie.

Exciting though isn't it! I am testing on 27th March and feel hopeful for the first time in soooo long!

Alexandra thats amazing - roll on 27th March!!!! x

LittleMiss yes I use opk's....I've been getting smiley faces around cd10/11. This is round 3. Can't believe they charge £50 just for a blood test! I dread to think how much a scan would be!

Alexandra fingers crossed for you. AF will be due for me around the 30th March but hopefully she'll stay away!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum but have found this thread really helpful. I'm so happy there are some of you with success stories with clomid!

A bit of background - I am 38, my dh 42. I had a mc 6 years ago at 8 wks and stopped trying for about 2 years. Eventually went to the doctors last year. All tests came back normal - unexplained infertility. Had an HSG - tubes are ok. Now as a few of my cycles less than 24 days, doc thinks I may not be ovulating every month and starting clomid on my next cycle.

Question ? - on the first cycle of clomid I am due to have a 10 day scan and a blood test at 21 days. I'm not supposed to get jiggy before the scan though. Why is this?? I don't want to miss a month of trying :-(

Hi, I think it's because you might have lots of follies developing which increases you risk of multiple birth. Saw someone else was told that on hear, although she dtd anyway! I dtd before my scan. However my follie was still growing on day 18 so had to go in for three scans altogether. Sorry about your mc :( why did you take a break, was it because it was so difficult? Good luck and welcome here! Oh and I got my dates wrong (baby brain already?! Haha) I'm testing for the first time with real hope on 20th march!

Ps sorry typos-on i phone! (And trying to pretend I'm not on mumsnet when DH looks over haha, he thinks it's bad for me as makes me think about it more, little does he know I think about it ALL the time anyway!)

Thanks Alexandra :-) I was worried the scan would be dangerous if I was (by some miracle!) actually pregnant but with your explanation I may just be reckless and dtd anyway ;-)

We stopped trying after the mc partly because my dh freaked out a little. He was so excited and against my advice had told all his family. It was too much pressure early on when we were just getting used to the idea ourselves and it was really upsetting to let everyone down (well that's how it felt). Partly it was to do with his unsecure contracting job at the time too.

Anyway I hope you managed to send your covert mumsnet message earlier without being found out! My dh is the same. It's hard not to think about it all the time though hey? and it is nice to read about other people in the same boat. We don't feel so alone and it probably helps us de-stress!!

So....is this your first month of clomid?? Good luck for the 20th!! I'll keep an eye out... :-)

All you lovely ladies that are already on clomid, I am one first round and take my 5th And final pill tomorrow. My periods have been 6-8 weeks apart but doc said clomid will regulate these. While on clomid are you all having 28 day cycle? Xxx

littlemiss someone might be able to give a better answer as I'm only on cycle one but I've heard they can still be long with PCOS (I think I know that from googling!) but they are meant to be shortened/regulated a bit especially if you didn't ov before and then ovulate on it. Let me know if anyone knows for sure!

Oh great. Thanks Alexandra. I've not got psco but I'm not ovulating - fingers crossed I do this month keep me posted too. What day you on? I take last tablet tomo xxx

I'm now on day 25, testing around day 34 (as ov'd late in the cycle) - will let you know how long my first cycle ends up being! Have to go for a progesterone test tomorrow to try and confirm ov. Just had a coffee in a meeting and now feel guilty, I don't even like coffee that much! Am sure it can't affect things but I'm trying to give myself as good a chance as I can!

Aw fingers crossed you have caught that egg x

Hi! Thought I join this forum. I am currently taking my first round of 50mg clomid (cd3-7). I will be done with clomid on 3/13. I was diagnosed with pcos last month. I am not insulin resistant and have normal labs. I just have the cysts in ovaries and high bmi and annovulatory cycles. My cycles ranges from 28-48 days. This cycle, RE wants trigger shot, progesterone supps, and iui. I'm extremely nervous that my eggs won't grow. Will have u/s this coming Monday. Hoping for the best. Baby dust to all!

Any positive stories ladies?? x
