@fara21 I’m so sorry to hear about your losses, that must have been so difficult. I hope they were able to help you in working out what happened so you could get some closure on them.

I’m actually taking 25mg, 50mg was too much for me! It was a huge surprise to my doctors. It’s why my first cycle got cancelled, I had too many follicles. It was infuriating to say the least as we couldn’t try that month.

Shelleybe · 20/04/2021 19:58

@fara21 I’m so sorry for what you have been through. Hopeful for you with clomid. Have heard so many success stories and hoping we have all success ones here too. Are being monitored with scans and blood work?

fara21 · 20/04/2021 20:15

@Luna1108 ThanksSmilethey didn't do anything not even D&C cutterage too clean my womb a month later got pregnant on my own again, and then had my 2nd misscarriage and ever since never got pregnant and TTC since.

@Shelleybe Thank youHalo,yes got scanned on CD12 which i had 2 follicles and a 21 progresterone blood test which confirmed i ovulated but i don't know what day as i didn't track with OPK's just BD once everyday.

fara21 · 20/04/2021 20:19

@Luna1108 And i went for scans which came back normal, went for lap dye test too see if my tubes were blocked which wasn't ,went for HSG blood test found nothing wrong with my hormones and HUSBAND went for semen analyses which also came back normal got diagnosed with unexplained infertility.

Morning All, I hopd you are all well. Have any of you taken baby asprin with clomid? I keep seeing it.

I have linked a success video.

Thank

chloedancer897 · 21/04/2021 11:53

@PurpleUnicorn01 you have to be very careful with aspirin. I'd suggest getting a full blood count done before commencing it to make sure your platelet levels are ok. If they are on the higher side of normal, it definitely can help. There is a link between high platelets and an inability to implant x

PurpleUnicorn01 · 21/04/2021 12:04

@chloedancer897 oh really that sounds like great advice thank you. I hope you're well.

PurpleUnicorn01 · 21/04/2021 12:12

This is a really great explanation on when to take clomid.

fara21 · 21/04/2021 14:31

Having really bad AF cramps tested again a few minutes ago and it was BFN currently on CD26.Sad

Think i'm out this month, doing my 3rd and last clomid cycleSad. Can't just wait for AF to start my 3rd round.

PurpleUnicorn01 · 21/04/2021 15:02

@fara21, im sorry to hear that. They do say it takes a few attempts. But you're not out until you're out!

lastbany · 21/04/2021 15:43

@fara21 that's how I feel! I'm cd35!!! Want af to start and hurry! I've tested again BFN I'm thinking has clomid stopped me ovulating??? Clinic are shit to be polite! It's a wait! I did have to admit I messed up with my tablets abs they said I should have waited till next month but my god for one day out really?!!
So feel totaly fed up!! It's getting a joke now

PurpleUnicorn01 · 21/04/2021 17:41

Omg fingers crossed! @lastbany

Has anyone or heard of anyone having success if the only issue is the he has slight low motility?

fara21 · 21/04/2021 21:11

@PurpleUnicorn01 I actually know when my AF is about to come, i do usually get cramps before AF but this cramps is so bad that it feels like AF is due tomorrow which is actually due Sunday i have a 30 day cycle regular.

@lastbany When do you usually get AF, did you try the digital test?

lastbany · 22/04/2021 08:11

@fara21 I am usually 28 days but for past year have been between 27/32 with the longest ever been 35 I'm now on 36!! Very annoying no I just used a cheap one tbh I can't stand to spend the money on them for them to be bfn

OP posts:
Shelleybe · 22/04/2021 11:25

@lastbany I wonder if you should try different brand of test just with it being so long maybe? Hope you are doing ok

@chloedancer897 how you getting on? Are you on TWW now

@Luna1108 how are you getting on too? What day are you on? I’ve started the vitamins so thanks for recommendations. Do you take pomegranate all month? Or in second phase of cycle

Thanks for vids @PurpleUnicorn01. I’ve heard few things too about baby aspirin

I’ve just finished my second round of clomid. I’m having hot flashes little cramps and absolutely exhausted... not sleeping. Different to last month in terms of symptoms. Starting OPKs in morning and then every second day dtd. I’m doing the accupuncture for few more weeks then giving up. It’s relaxing but I’m not entirely sure it had heard great things

Hope everyone is doing well. We have a nice big group now so hopefully lots BFPs

lastbany · 22/04/2021 11:33

@Shelleybe only reason haven't bought a expensive one is because if I did ovulate around when was dtd I would be 3 weeks post ovulation so I think any test would pick up the pregnancy the only other thing is if I ovulated mega late at 25 ish day which we did dtd around then in which I would only be around 9 days post ovulation , however I really don't think I'm preg just don't think I am lol
Think it's af messing with me! My head feels like it's gonna explode it hurts that much and I'm shattered!! Skins awful bit Thts about it! No bleeding whatsoever sooooo annoying! Cramps on and off trying my hardest to relax to try let af come!! So can take this bloody last round of clomid! Clinic basically blamed me said I should have waited with the clomid! But I had already taken my first lit when I realised and thought well might aswell finish the course! Said a regular period can be 35 days (I'm now 36 days) so to wait until after weekend before contact again where the will discuss next step!! Feel like this cycle has been the longest of my life!! Bacn working tonight x

@lastbany Ah you poor thing. Your head must be wrecked. My skin is so bad too at the mo. Are you on second round so of clomid now as in you have taken tablets?

chloedancer897 · 22/04/2021 12:45

Hi @Shelleybe I'm 3DPO now. Really hoping for good news this month. How are you feeling?

@lastbany I'm sure you're just fed up! I definitely recommend even doing CD21 bloods this cycle. At least then you'll know if you ovulated or not (unless you're already pregnant!)

Shelleybe · 22/04/2021 14:47

@chloedancer897 been bit down don’t know whether it’s tiredness or what... I feel huge pressure to get pregnant and it’s all my partner wants and when first met basically said wouldn’t be with someone unless they wanted children. I’m now thinking if I don’t get BFP soon will he even stay... I think I’m just in my head and hormonal 🙈

chloedancer897 · 22/04/2021 16:51

@Shelleybe it's so normal to think that way. I even told my husband to leave me and find someone else because I'm clearly barren! It will happen for you. I'm sure he doesn't think that way at all about you x

Luna1108 · 22/04/2021 21:56

@Shelleybe I’m CD5 today so got one more tablet to go! I’m feeling really disheartened and finding anyone talking about pregnancy (aside from my 3 very pregnant best friends!) really really difficult.

Just feeling like it’ll never happen. Husband is optimistic and is trying to keep the positivity but I’m struggling with the thought of always just being the Aunty 😢

Ugh anyway. Sorry.

Pomegranate juice I drink a glass a day all month. I get the POM one as it’s 100% pomegranate and not mixed with anything. But it’s pricey so I tend to mix it with a normal pomegranate one like 2/3 POM 1/3 other just so it lasts me a bit longer.

I hope the supplements work for you, they’re supposed to really help egg quality!

Suki2020 · 23/04/2021 12:53

@Luna1108 I know how you feel about being disheartened and feeling it’s never going to happen. I’m on cd25 and still waiting for ovulation. Thought on my 3rd cycle of clomid my cycles would have been better. I can never find pomegranate juice when I go shopping.

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 23/04/2021 15:16

I'm cd 22 today and have so much milky creamy cm! Hoping that's a good sign. Also been having cramping daily in my uterus and striking pains in my breasts? Will test next Friday 😅
