The old thread which was so popular has become full so thought we'd start one here again for us all to support one another through the clomid journey and celebrate it's successes xx

Yeah it's a bit crap dealing with stupid reactions. It doesn't bother me as much now. Some are harsh like "have you considered adoption?". oof! that one really hurts.

Anyone come up with a name yet? Clomid Journey Part III?? Boring I know. Clomid Cycle Club, Clomid Club, Clomid Chicks.. These are shit I know Wink

Clomid: Hot sweaty nights

ImpatientOne · 10/05/2014 00:45

Hot Sweaty Nights is inspired and very apt for me personally!

On Clomid... Let's not give up and lose our mind!

Shoegal30 · 10/05/2014 10:17

Hey ladies how are we all getting on

I took abit of a break from MN this month. I was on holiday whilst ovulating and for the first time in over 12 months I didn't temp or track OPK. Also this month my dosage was increased from 50mg to 100mg.

Anyway AF was due yesterday and still no signs. Took a test last night and got a BFN. I think my body is playing tricks on me and AF is going to show up late Hmm

Anybody else due to POAS soon?

kerrylou84 · 10/05/2014 10:50

I think chlomid-a never ending story is a good one.
Xxx

ImpatientOne · 10/05/2014 11:35

I'm 10 DPO Shoegal and due to test on Monday. So far this is the longest luteal phase I have had without spotting so trying to keep positive without raising my hopes too much...

Gingerbreadlady1 · 10/05/2014 11:51

The clomid games: girl catching fire

Oooo! Good luck impatient and shoegal

shoegal I have 1 month left & they want me to double the dose however I'm away on cd12 & they'd want to scan me then. I'm already ov on 50mg. Don't know what to do. Periods pretty much non existent as it is. Why did they double your does, did they scan you and we're you okay if you don't mind me asking?

Shoegal30 · 10/05/2014 13:28

Hi ginger

We have been diagnosed with unexplained fertility. DH sperm test was good. I ovulate naturally, regular periods and have clear tubes. It's just not happening for us at the mo

We aren't eligible for assisted conception until aug/step as by then it will have been2 years TTC.

I think the FC has given me Clomid to shut me up for a while. Essentially she said that although I ovulate naturally, Clomid may give a little extra boost.

Took Clomid for 50mg for 2 cycles and my bloods showed that although I ovulated, the Clomid hadn't had any affect so the dosage was increased to 100mg last month.

I hope the Clomid hasn't increased my cycle.

Gingerbreadlady1 · 10/05/2014 13:38

Thanks shoegal fx your cycle is late as your up-duffed! I'm not sure why they've increased my dosage for last month so not sure whether or not to take it.....

Shoegal30 · 10/05/2014 14:05

Thanks ginger although I'm sure that you can relate that after TTC for so long you just can't imagine getting a BFP.

Why were you prescribed Clomid?

Gingerbreadlady1 · 10/05/2014 14:10

Long irregular cycles. The 50mg has regulated my cycles & 2 7dpo blood tests for prog came in at 28 & 29 plus positive opk's so feel it is working. Not sure of the benefits of doubling does tbh. Plus periods very light so worried about affect on womb lining.

When you going to poas?

Gingerbreadlady1 · 10/05/2014 14:11

Oh & I can def relate!!

StoneBaby · 10/05/2014 16:06

AF due on Wednesday. So far no cramping.

I've finished clomid after 4 months of 50mg. Next month will be injections of gonal-f.

Seeing the nurse this week and FC a week later. So I guess I'm out for this month.

AnnieHoo · 10/05/2014 19:14

Fingersx'd for you impatient shoegal and stone! Ginger when are you due to poas?

kurama · 10/05/2014 20:50

HowsTheSerenity · 10/05/2014 22:00

Anyone else have this weirdness?

AnnieHoo · 10/05/2014 22:18

Oh Kurama I am crossing everything for you xxxx

AnnieHoo · 10/05/2014 22:24

Serenity, that's weird. Have you had a leaky boob before? Might be hormone imbalance. You should get GP to investigate. Or...you may be pregnant..

kurama · 10/05/2014 23:48

thanks annie Smile

HowsTheSerenity · 11/05/2014 08:53

I have had it before but put it down to the pill. It more oozed a droplet or two. Now I can put fires out.

ridgway28 · 11/05/2014 09:48

AnnieHoo · 11/05/2014 11:26

POAS means Pee On A Stick as in an ovulation stick or a pregnancy test.
