@s154 don't lose hope, you may have a much better chance once you've had the surgery and the waiting lists usually aren't as bad as they first say. I was told in feb I'd have to wait until November for my initial consultation but I got an appointment and got seen in august! Plus you can always keep the clomid for after!

I got my plan through today - I start 50mg clomid on next cd2 get a scan day 10-14 the progesterone tests every month. 😁

@Kay00 triplets would be a lot! But I've been trying so long I'd just go for it!

Kay00 · 30/09/2021 21:50

@marvellouslymadmum exciting!! Do you know roughly when your next CD1 will be?

Yeah, I agree multiples would be too much to handle (literally with triplets 😆) but it's unlikely anyway. I think the most likely outcome from this cycle will be no pregnancy. But I will live in hope!

Marvellouslymadmum · 30/09/2021 22:14

@Kay00 well the last two cycles have only been 22 days long in which case it would be in two weeks but the two before that were 42&51 days so would be 5-6 weeks so not entirely sure but I'm hoping for a 26-28 day this time in which case 2-3 weeks 🤞🏻 I'd actually love twins! Always wanted them lol

Kay00 · 06/10/2021 17:35

Hi ladies. Have any of you ever had a BFP whilst using Clomid? If so, what day did you get your BFP? What were your symptoms? And do you know how many follicles you had that month?

J90A · 06/10/2021 18:08

@Kay00 sorry no never not had a BFP. How you getting on?! What CD you on?

How is everyone doing? Im CD 7 clomid round 4. Got my first scan booked for Monday CD12 this is the first time I've had scans. Do you get a few? Xx

Marvellouslymadmum · 07/10/2021 10:19

@J90A just got my letter phoning the gp today to get my clomid prescription ready for month one, I'll get one scan on day 12-16 of the first clomid cycle then day 21 bloods each month

J90A · 07/10/2021 10:34

@Marvellouslymadmum good luck! When you starting?

I'm right back in the hope zone. Going to enjoy this part as much as possible before the dreaded 2 week wait and upset that comes after 🤦‍♀️. (Fingers crossed it doesn't)

Kay00 · 07/10/2021 11:09

@J90A I'm on 9DPO currently.

I had my blood tested on 6DPO for progesterone but not had the results back yet so I'm not 100% sure I have ovulated. But I had 3 x decent follicles on my scan followed by lots of ovulation pain and a decent temp increase so I'm hopeful it happened.

Just need the sperm to have met the egg and the little eggie to implant next 🤞🤞

@Marvellouslymadmum exciting you're getting closer to your Clomid journey xx

@J90A good luck on your scan on Monday!

Kay00 · 07/10/2021 11:16

Just for reference (and for anyone reading in future) I had my scan on CD14, which showed 3 x follicles (right: 1 x 21mm, 1 x 15mm. Left: 1 x 14.5mm) and the nurse suggested we don't try this month for risk of multiples. But we did anyway 😝

I am pretty sure I ovulated on CD16 as I had ovulation pains that afternoon and a decent temp increase the next day. I also woke up on CD17 with a small amount of dark red blood in my knickers... which I assume was ovulation spotting.

J90A · 07/10/2021 11:34

@Kay00 thank you. When are you going to test? What DPO are you now? X

J90A · 07/10/2021 11:34

@Kay00 sorry your 9DPO 🤦‍♀️ my mistake lol x

Kay00 · 07/10/2021 13:14

Hehe. I'm away at Center Parcs with friends this week which has been a good distraction. I think AF is due on Monday so I might not test until then (if AF hasn't turned up of course).

Marvellouslymadmum · 07/10/2021 21:18

@J90A thank you! I'm not certain as my af is somewhat unpredictable but just about to start my tww so should be in a couple of weeks 🤞🏻

@Kay00 honestly can't wait! That chart looks really promising 🤞🏻 for you

J90A · 08/10/2021 07:05

@Marvellouslymadmum @Kay00 🤞 for you both

@Clomid1 how are you. X

Kay00 · 08/10/2021 18:44

@clomid1 did you get any symptoms before your bfp?

Kay00 · 10/10/2021 08:31

Hi ladies x I'm 12DPO and my temps have been steadily dropping for the past 3 days. I did a cheap strip test at 10DPO and it was negative. Period is due tomorrow and I can feel she is on her way. So I'm pretty sure I'm out.

As predicted im feeling crushed. I just wish I had the space and time to process it, but with a house full of people (family) and (their) dogs I just need to bottle up my sadness and put on a brave face.

Fuck. 😭

J90A · 10/10/2021 08:44

@Kay00 oh no I know that feeling. Don't give up yet 10dpo is still really early. ❤️ have you done one today? I would have a bath if you gave one and let all your emotions out xxx

Kay00 · 10/10/2021 14:30

Thank you xx I like the idea of a hot bath, so will treat myself this evening xx

J90A · 11/10/2021 17:07

I had my scan today there is one follicle 13 I think he said?

To go back or Thursday for another scan. Xx

Marvellouslymadmum · 12/10/2021 19:11

@Kay00 sorry to hear that, hope you're doing ok

@J90A good luck for the second scan 🤞🏻 xx

beth1311 · 12/10/2021 20:14

Hi all.
I've been a bit quiet lately. I was waiting a few cycles to start clomid, see if it happened naturally, lose a little bit of weight, that kind of thing.

I'm feeling REALLY bummed out as I don't know when I'm going to start the clomid because I'm on CD60 and no signs of my period. All negative pregnancy tests. Lots of pregnancy symptoms, but 100% negative tests.

Feeling really fed up and don't know what to do.
Sorry for ranting ladies, sometimes it's hard x

Marvellouslymadmum · 12/10/2021 23:19

@beth1311 that sucks, I've been in that position a few times unfortunately! Have you tried talking to your gp?

J90A · 13/10/2021 11:30

@beth1311 really sorry it's such a horrible journey. when do you start clomid? Xx

I done a opk today and had a faint line I've also not had the egg white cm this month sorry TMI but I've had a creamy white. I'm cd14 I don't this cycle has worked. US tomorrow so see what they say but I'm feeling deflated. Xx

beth1311 · 13/10/2021 12:26

@Marvellouslymadmum it's a nightmare trying to get an appointment with the GP, I'm going to try again tomorrow.
Sometimes I feel like I am pregnant and then other times I think I'm just being foolish, but where is my period! Lol
I wish it would come so I knew where I was and could start clomid.

@J90A as my period is being really weird, I don't know whether to start it next cycle or wait another cycle so I get back to some sort of normality and try it then?

Is it normal to miss two periods for no good reason?
They've been a bit erratic and I've missed the odd one, but very rarely over two, it's so infuriating not knowing what's going on with my own body 😂

J90A · 13/10/2021 12:39

@beth1311 I missed a period after being on clomid last month I went in for an ultrasound and then they gave me progesterone to start a bleed and then started clomid from there. Have you spoken to the fertility specialist? They might start a bleed I get irregular cycles naturally due to my pcos. X
