Hi Hun not in the same situ one but I was I'm 30 weeks with our little clomid baby :) I found out at exactly 4 weeks and like you felt dizzy and tired a lot

Congrats! I'm 41 weeks preggo today, after 6 rounds of clomid. I was incredibly tired too. I also had a mini bleed on my first scan at 9 weeks. You should have an early scan, around 9 weeks too, as they will want to check it's not multiples (higher chance on clomid) and that will put your mind at ease. Pop to the Doc. Good luck!

Sorry only realised is posted and not finished!!

Like you I was dizzy and tired a lot for the first sort of 10 weeks after finding out .. I really think this is totally normal I also had cramping between 5-6 weeks and totally freaked out but again your body's going through lots if changes and it's mostly just stretching etc :)

Congratulations as well :) op! If your like me it had been an eventful journey getting here and it's definitely not easy being pregnant but it'll be worth it Grin

My advice is to try and keep occupied in the weeks leading upto your scan, try carry on as normal (as you can!) I know the anxious feeling of waiting to see the baby for the first time :) my trust was is blasé about clomid I wasn't even monitored when taking really just some bloods done .... Of which I got the results after I found out I was pregnant!! So the thing of of an early scan to check for multiples wasn't offered to us even though dh is a twin and I have twins in my family aswell! I sometimes think my trust is totally crap well I don't think I know!! I am only carrying a singleton though!

Hope you have a lovely healthy pregnancy :) I'm no expert but if you wanna pm me anytime pls do :) happy to chat! xxx

Thank you my dolls Charlie and dirty dancing . I am really nervouse and scared . Due to pcos I read I am on high risk of MC and the random pain on the left side of tummy worrying me. No bleeding or morning sickness at all so far just this uncomfortable niggling pain. I was taken to hospital on Sunday night with stomach pain and doctor examined me properly and reassure it's not ectopic or hernia but possible yearly preg stretching or wind . I hope so too . No scan was done as it too early to see. Being pcos and on clomid increase the risk for me :(

There is not much help available for 1 st time mothers to be in this country and it really bother me . When I to my doctor I had a positive test all he did was type notes in his computer and told me to wIt for the letter from midwife which I should receive near week 10 to 12 which I am pretty much left to myself and on the hands of internet .

I got pregnant on my 6th (and last) cycle of Clomid 16 years ago (the result is now upstairs sprawled on his bed watching TV Grin). I had pcos too, and remember feeling incredibly tired for the first 8-10 weeks. I was signed off work for 6 weeks by my lovely GP which helped with my miscarriage related anxiety too. I had a niggling pain in my side and went to the EPU for a scan to rule out an ectopic pregnancy, and then bled slightly at around 8/9 weeks - fortunately everything was OK and I went on to have a normal pregnancy (albeit with horrendous morning, noon and night sickness).

Fingers crossed that everything goes OK for you. Tbh, if you're anything like I was, there is nothing that anyone can say that will ease your worries at this stage, so I won't even try! Suffice to say I'm sending you good wishes and hope the remainder of your pregnancy is happy and healthy Smile

Thanks sirchinjin darling xxxx I am trying to keep myself it thinking about it all the time .do ovaries get bigger on clomid ?

Ahh, I know - I remember it being such an anxious time, and the days just seemed to go by so slowly when all you want to do is to get to that magical 12/14 week stage. Do you have an Early Pregnancy Unit you could call, explain how worried and upset you are and why, explain you've got a bit of pain and ask if they could see you? I was there all the time quite often, and they were brilliant - certainly put my mind at ease (for a while Grin)

Re - do ovaries get bigger on clomid - I really don't know, sorry.

marzipanned · 24/12/2013 16:11

OP I'm currently 34 weeks with a clomid baby (conceived 6th cycle - really didn't think it was going to happen) Also thin PCOS.

As SirChenjin says, there's nothing anyone can say to stop you worrying...I worried until the 8 week scan, then until the 12 week scan, then until the 20 week scan..now I worry any time I don't feel baby moving for more than two minutes Grin

Time will go incredibly slowly until you see that first heartbeat, but you'll get there.

Exhaustion, dizziness, nausea, twinges, aches...all pretty classic symptoms of early pregnancy. If ectopic has been ruled out and

And no, I don't think your ovaries get bigger on clomid. At least I didn't hear that anywhere and, as I was scanned monthly, didn't notice any changes in size myself. However, the corpus luteum can remain in the ovary (this is true whether you have taken clomid or not) and that can cause some aches and pains.

By the way - the thing about you being more likely to miscarry on clomid - has been disproved by recent studies. Your body produced and released an egg, your partner's sperm fertilised it, it implanted. Just like any other pregnancy, except you (and I) had a bit of help with the egg bit.

marzipanned · 24/12/2013 16:12

Sorry that unfinished sentence should have said: if ectopic has been ruled out and you haven't been bleeding at all, then pain is probably just, as your doctor said, stretching or wind. Think of all the crazy things going on inside your body right now!

ForTheLoveOfSocks · 24/12/2013 16:17

My second round of clomid has been singing jingle bells and bouncing off the walls today. She is 2 :)

The tiredness bone aching exhaustion is normal for a lot of pregnancies. I'm pg with DC#2, no clomid and I was just as tired at the start. Tbh I'm knackered now at 30 weeks :).

I've had cramps with both at the start. I also get pain in my shoulders for some reason. I thought I was going to be ectopic each time.

I know it's crap to have to wait, bit there isn't an awful lot anyone can do right now. Maybe you could book a private scan for a couple of weeks time to help ease the waiting?

Nestinggirl · 24/12/2013 20:41

Thanks marzipanned and for the love of sock. So happy for both of you and wish a very happy life. As they say too much knowledge is curse ... I am on net all the time searching for symptoms and sweet Jesus all the scary stuff out there . I will look up to get a scan privately to get some peace. At time I can't believe once found out I pregnant , how important that babe become I never imagine I would be like that ... Today is less pain and at random time which feel like on left ovary . Which is not bad as I had on upper left stomach on Sunday . No bleeding no shoulder pain of sickness so I keep everything crossed not only my fingers :)

Best advice is to step away from google! It's a minefield of negative info! Sorry you had a little scare Hun ,but at least you we're checked out :) it's totally normal to feel nervous and scared(I'm 31 weeks Tomo and I still am at times!)

charliedrinks26 · 25/12/2013 03:43

Sorry posted too early!

I too have pcos an had convinced myself this wasn't going to progress, I just think with all the hormones etc it's a really worrying time no amount of, "try not to symptom spot", or "analyse constantly how your feeling "will make you feel less anxious! It's a bit of a waiting game! I'm lucky in the fact that my sister has had a baby already and I told her straightaway - I felt like I could ask her all the questions I had and she also is very practical and told me when/if I was being obsessive or too concerned! (Still now!) Shock

Do you have dp? How have they taken to the news? Have you told anyone else? Xxxxx Grin

ForTheLoveOfSocks · 25/12/2013 05:58

Step away from Dr Google, you'll drive yourself bonkers :)

I know it's hard to think it's ok, but pain at the start can be completly normal, I've had it with both my pregnancies.

If you are worried at anytime, then get in touch with you GP. I was a pain at the start but if it puts your mind at rest then it's worth it.

Have a lovely and relaxing Christmas, it will be the last quiet one for a few years Grin

Nestinggirl · 27/12/2013 23:06

Hi dollies hope you all had fab Xmas . We had a great day and hope it was our last Xmas as only town of us ... As calculator say babe due date is 24/8/14:) . Trying my best staying away from Dr google as most of the time it make me worried. So far this week been good no major pains . Apart from random pain in left ovary which was spotted by a colleague when she saw me pressing my left side through out the day . As apart from DH no one knows that I am pregnant , she said look like I got ovarian cyst because this pain only explain one thing. And I been thinking since I'm a thin pcos with no symptoms of it apart from irregular periods and a scan which showed pcos,
Does pcos go away in pregnancy or can it effect pregnancy??? Any idea or any one with same story ??
