Clomid anyone else?

[wantingabud]

I'm on 2nd cycle of clomid (50mg CD2-6) and am on CD7 now - anyone else out there the same?!

🤞🏻 for you footy, did you just decide to have a break or have you run out?

Fingers crossed Footy!

Technically I'm on day 58 but followed doctors orders to take the Clomid on day 49. Read a few things about counting from that day as the day I was told to take it if I had a period (day 2 of a new cycle). Does that mean I am now cycle day 11?

Accidental no they started me on metformin (which made me feel dreadful by the way) but is suppose to sensitise the ovaries. Was told to try metformin for a month to get in your system then add clomid the following month. I was prescribed 3 more rounds by hosp.
I had loads of EWCM this cycle without clomid and wasn't a moody moo this month! Lol. Just have a feeling I didn't ovulate as temps were on the lower side all cycle, and I really do not feel I have any pregnancy symptoms.

Ktmp yes count the first day of clomid as day 2. So if u started clomid on day 49, that would become day 2 of cycle

Af turned up. 2 days late. Evil. 😡😡😡😡😡

Thanks footy. I'm trying to not be too hopeful (as hope is a painful thing) but I guess I just wished that even if it was negative at day 49 there was a chance that I did ovulate late and that's why it was negative. So confusing to never experience such a long cycle and it not mean something positive

Did AF arrive footy?

Still no AF, but I did do a cheapy test which was a bfn. Thinking I didn't ovulate :(
Waiting till weekend before I start the af pills!

Just thought I'd check in and see how you all are. Hoping for some more BFPs soon.

I'm now 16+3 and found out at weekend we are having another boy .

Hi Malbec glad all is well with u and that your pregnancy is progressing well. Time has flown, can't believe it's 16weeks already. Congratulations that it's a boy. I have 2 boys!

Hi Malbec 👋🏻 Nice to hear how you're getting on. Almost half way, he'll be here before you know it! Have you had extra scans with him being a clomid baby or were you impatient to find out what you were having?

Thank you! Yeah we are so pleased to be having another boy. I had a scan at the clinic at 6 weeks because of the bleeding and also 7 weeks because that's when they normally check everything is looking okay and then they discharged me back to mainstream NHS care.

I also booked a 8+6 reassurance scan privately because I wanted to check the baby was still growing okay. The bleeding really stressed me out! Then I had my dating scan and then a private gender scan! I booked that because it's 100% my last pregnancy so I want to just make the most of it! But then I'll have my 20 week scan at the beginning of April and I am down for 4 growth scans in the 3rd trimester because I had pre e with my son. So if you consider all the egg scans I had too, this is going to be the most scanned baby in the bloody country!

How are you both getting on?

Glad it's all going well with you Malbec. (Bummy here, had a name change).

So I haven't written about this here yet, but I think I might have been pregnant from my second to last Clomid cycle, and then miscarried this month after taking clomid again unnecessarily. As you all know, I didn't get a positive test, so could be completely barking up the wrong tree but I definitely had a miscarriage or chemical followed by a very very heavy period (including multiple massive, palm-sized clots) last week.

It's pretty sucky. I was feeling pregnant before the bleed, too. Tummy definitely bloated (much more than usual), snoring my head off and a couple of other minor symptoms, like mid-cycle spotting around OV time (matches the implantation bleed I had with DS at the same time if it had been 5-6w preg) and I never got a peak OPK - makes me think it might have been positive HCG instead of OV hormones?

I've seen a doctor and they said given my description (and no positive test) no further investigation is needed at this stage but I'm being referred for infertility tests as it's been a year now.

I know it's not really fair to say it, but I'm really wondering if I hadn't taken the clomid would the outcome have been different. So many what-ifs, and while I'm mainly coping very well and have accepted it, I'm still sad that I may have been pregnant and had a baby later this year.

Apologies for being a downer. I have run out of clomid so having a break for a while and kind of hoping that the ol' high fertility after a miscarriage trick will help me.

Sorry to hear that KP. If it happened like you think it might have, then that really sucks. Take care of yourself.

I have not been following this thread from the beginning. How are you taking clomid before getting fertility tests? What tests are you getting now?

I've used clomid in the past to have DS so I had all the tests that time. I also reused some of my old pills (still in date) and got a new script from Oxford Online Pharmacy to have my three or four goes this time around.

I don't have to have the all tests again (eg. lap n dye), I'm being referred for an U/S and DH will get another sperm test just to see if we are even more up against it.

We had DD with no help, I had follicle tracking scans & defo ovulate but my consultant said to try clomid for 6 months to try & shorten / regulate my cycles as they were 42-45 days. Apart from that no other tests as yet.

Jesus KP. Try to put it out of your mind as much as you can as you'll never really know. Unmumsnetty hugs.

Oh kp, really sorry to hear this That's so cruel.

Just catching up on here. So sorry kp!

I need some help if possible! So I took 100mg Clomid on day 49 (which would now day 2). Bd pretty regular, 3 times a week since the no show. Today would have been day 66 and I think I've started a new cycle. Does that mean I take more Clomid tomorrow even though it's only been 17 days in between?

So you've not had AF at all Kt? I'm really not sure I'm afraid hopefully one of the other ladies will know more.

I got a consultant appointment through today for April, obviously they'd booked me in assuming that my 6 rounds won't work, made me a bit sad tbh. I've been reading up about how a retained placenta (which I had with DC) can cause infertility and so now I'm stressing about that ☹️

Nothing for 65 days accidental (apart from the most minute spotting a couple of times). This looks like it will properly be AF this time. Never experienced a cycle like it, normally they're too short and the last three prior to this seemed to be getting more "normal" with an average of 26 days.

I've already got an appointment in for July for an IVF referral which is scaring me as I know that will be a long process too. Will keep fingers crossed that neither of us need the appointments!

KTMP, are you bleeding now?

I would try to get a call into your doctor to ask advice.

Hi I have just started Chlomid last week, I have my scan on Monday D15 being positive that this is going to work. This is my first time using Chlomid. Any success sorties?

User, it worked first time for me back in 2013 (only 25mg as well). My DS is now almost 3yo.

Not so much luck this time around, but I have hope.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

I won't be using clomid for this cycle, and might get another script for next month. Will be interesting to see how long my natural cycle is.
