Come on Clomid. 2019 v4

[seven201]

Our third has filled up.

For anyone who is taking clomid for whatever fertility reason.

I'll do some tagging later!

@BonTon that's so useful, thank you. She didn't tell me how thick/thin the lining is, just "quite" thin, and she didn't say how big the follicles were either. Just two black blobs on the screen! It was all rather rushed! It will ask for the measurements on Thursday when I go back. I'm only on day 10 so maybe it'll thicken up. My ovulation sticks aren't showing any action yet so I'm still a way off ovulating. Thank you for the hope!

And @Goingbacktokansascity thank you re: letrozole. I've made a note to ask for it if the lining doesn't thicken. Its so good to know it might still happen for us and that there are options beyond clomid before IVF.

It's all so rollercoastery and exhausting - are any of us actually going to have any energy left for parenting when we finally get our BFPs?!

Congrats to those that did get good news this month xx

Wow I've learned a lot from you all today! You're a knowledgeable bunch!

@CharlotteCx Yes, they've upped my dose this cycle 🤞 Finished the tablets now so it's a waiting game!

Just an obsessive Googler @Beth804 🤯

@Beth804 Awww wicked! What CD u on? You've probs already told me but Iv got a rubbish memory 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thanks @BonTon so many many injections from what CD? Then from day 11 you have a scan? How often did they do the scans? Are you NHS? I would hope not however being realistic it is going to home, with just two days left already feeling bloated hormonal and the fact an early pregnancy test which says it 99% detects early pregnancy 5 days before the day the period is due xx

I agree, this is a very informative thread! It's a blooming good job when you think about how little help most of us have had from doctors...

Day 10 of very light bleeding for me now! Have restarted Clomid as well. Fingers crossed for us all this time! X

@carleygh - sorry, it’s a real blow isn’t it. So disappointing.

I injected from day 4 so had 14 injections. We are NHS - are you? I had to have 4 scans this cycle but that’s coz i was over stimulated and, in the nurse’s words, they were worried I was going to blow.... thankfully I didn’t 😂

@CharlotteCx Didn't have a period so don't know! 😂 I suppose I would normally take it days 2-6, so going from that logic I'm cd7!

@Beth804 oh we can be cycle buddies then 🙃 ..

Haha that made me chuckle! With Clomid they said I was high risk of multiples as had two big follicles - one on each side so goodness knows how I would react. I wouldn't care if I had triplets I would take whatever got threw at me 😂

Thank you for all the info I appreciate it x

@BonTon

@carleygh how are u feeling today? Xx

I've got the "it is what it is" attitude right now 😂 it's going to happen when it should it's just frustrating it's not NOW 🙈 thanks for checking how are you? How's the flushes x

@CharlotteCx I'm so bad at tagging 😂

@carleygh that is the best attitude to have although easier said than done I know hun! You will get there xxx your doing everything you can, when's your appt with your gyno to discuss next steps?

Im ok thank you. Finished last pill of cycle 3 tonight so will start dtd tomorrow onwards and see what happens! Xx

Eeekk fingers crossed for you. I see my consultant on the 9th so another two weeks I think it might be the injections but I'll wait and see xx

Have just taken my first Clomid, days 2-6, anyone else starting the cycle today?? Norethisterone worked for me to induce bleed so fingers crossed 🤞

@carleygh good luck with your appt hun. Also, did you take metformin with your Clomid? As Iv heard they work really well together.

I have just done my first opk and already got a flashing smiley on CD7.. xx

Does anyone use an OvuSense? I’m about to buy one just now I think but swithering

I haven't but Iv heard it's really good - it tells you your exact ovulation day doesn't it and is good for PCOS?

What would everyone recommend .... preseed or concieve plus???

@CharlotteCx no I wasn't on that as I don't have PCOS and Clomid was successful in making me ovulate so guess there was no need as that's what it is for right? Eeekkk really is that earlier than expected right? My clear blue never flashed it was just either circle or smiley face I need a flashing one haha where did you get it? X

@carleygh ohhh ok sorry my bad I thought you had pcos! Yeah metformin is for pcos - I take 1500mg daily. It is earlier than expected I thought it starts to flash when your fertile window opens, mine ain't due to open until Friday - but it says it's found a rise in my estrogen but I'll expect to see flashing smiley for a few days and then my peak at the weekend.

Did you use a CB digi opk? Xx

Just bought the ovusense so feeling optimistic about really pinpointing the day of ovulation, also increasing letrozole to 10mg and having day 21 bloods so tough month ahead, hopefully worth it. 🤞🏽

Good luck all!
