Hi
I am on first round of clomid 50mg. Today is my 3 day (CD7).I ovulate and have LH surge and period regularly. But my RE said that my Estradiol and progesterone are low (97 and 11.3).My husbd count is good. She said either you fall under Idiopathic category or your levels are low.she put me on clomid and HCG.
Does Clomid helps in improving egg quality?
Hi honey i have just finished my 2nd cycle of clomid and i am on 12 dpo.I have had not very nice side effects the first cycle but on the 2nd cycle not as bad.Think you get used it in time.1st cycle my partner was away working and only came home after i ovulated so that was out.And this cycle he went away last week so unless i have some huge miracle im out again this month.Clomid helps you produce bigger and i suppose better quality follicles.Last month i had 3 follicles 16mm 18mm and 20mm.Then this month i only have 1 and its about 18mm at the moment.So for the answer to your question (egg quality) yes i think it does.Remember you only need 1 good follicle to concieve.Good luck ladies SSBD xx
Hi honey sorry i posted your answer above xx
Hi ladies,
thanks for the comments! I have had a headache and breast tenderness...oh and very tired from the provera. I am on day 4 of 7 for that. then wait for a period, then CD5-9 take clomid. I hope I don't have horrible side effects from that.
My husband made his "donation" so we will find out the results in like 5-6 weeks when the doc wants us to come back. He owns his own business so if i am ovulating he will be around. My only problem is next month because if my cycle stays normal and goes as plan(or the way i hope it will) should be in town to "make a baby" before he leaves for a week.
Doc took blood when i was there so i assume he will be testing all my levels. I have symptoms of PCOS but have not been diagnosed with it....yet.
I am also worried about the opk working!
SSBD to you too!
lynnie-i felt the same way..but i have read a number of threads where women not getting a + til late in the cycle like cd twenty something..also some women never get a + opk yet they still o n have became preggo..so do not give up sweetie:)Ssssbbbbdddd
I'm on my first clomid cycle with IUI. I am CD 4, and taking clomid 100mg CD 1-5. So, almost done with the clomid. I go in CD11 for u/s and then begin using OPK's. I did IVF in May, but this is my first IUI and the first time taking clomid. Good luck to all of us!!
lynniepooh thanks sooo much:)
lynn-i meant to tell u yesterday cd 16..i was cramping like omg call 911..the left ovary pains got horrible..i mean unstoppable..took half ibprofen..hardly helped.lasted all night kept me up.uterus area cramping as well..today i only had mild on n off cramps in uterus area...however i did not bd last night..i was in pain..n bf n i really are tired of it..n just decided if we miss it this cycle then next cycle we will bd like we havent seen each other in years..lol
Faith - now im not on the clomid yet but last night around 4:30 i got up to pee and my right ovary area was hurting really bad, the pain slowly went away as i was urinating. never had that before and it wants like i had to go really bad either.....stange
I hope your cramping goes away and your feeling better soon
Lynn
lynnie--well could have been lots of bladder pressure..idk...not really sure...so i suggest u keep track of that..
I'm thinking since I am feeling some cramps that because I had to tinkle it made it worse! who know! if it doesn't happen again then I won't worry about it.
i hopes it does get better for u...and u can have a regular cycle
Faith - well i guess it was just a fluke! it didnt happen again.
I am now off Provera and waiting on my Period. I am having some menstrual cramps so im sure it will be withing the next 7 days. Then clomid and lots of BD
:-)
lynniepooh..i wil give u a suggestion..once u finish the clomid use opk's...and when u see the line progressing bd every otha day....then when u have a peak bd 3 days in a row..too much bd prior to a peak makes bd seem like a job..and u get tired of it...enjoy it and an orgasm is a +..ssbd
sorry to jump in on thjs thread....lol but I just took an opk and its a ligth line but a lil darker... I am going to buy some more opk tests friday....
but I am just not feeling it this month.. the weather changed and its cold lol!
Faith - Thanks for the advice. My doc said to start using the OPKs the day my period ends, BD day 12-20 every other day. Im sure we will BD before that too...LOL
CA25 - You are more then welcome to jump into the thread at anytime!
I'll put in my two cents worth since im starting round 6 of clomid. Track your temps!!! its really tells you alot about your cycles and will tell you if you've actually o'ed. It seems like a pain to do every morning but after a while it just becomes a part of your morning routine. I don't even notice that i do it anymore. For me i know i don't O until cd19-21 so I dont bd until cd 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 . Bd everyother day is fine (you dont need to everyday. It will feel like a job after a while. My hubby finds it hard to "perform" on demand so to speak. Emotions run high on clomid. headaches, sore bbs, cramping etc... Im lucky i dont get any other than a couple hot flashes. Most ppl do opks twice a day however most O in the afternoon. and last but not least - resist the temptation to test early!!! wait until at least 12-14dpo before you test - it can become very expensive and rally run your emotions into the ground getting bfn.
I will be getting my hsg test done next week so hopefully that will help me this cycle and make my super bean stick!!!
Good luck to you all.!!!!
Thanks for all the info!
My doc wants to do a HSG on me also but we are gonna wait a couple of months (or not have to at all) hopefully my luck is up and i will get preggers the first round.
i would say do the hsg and sperm analysis right away!! I wish I did. Ive been trying for 1 1/2 years and on clomid for past 6 rounds.
We did the Sperm Analysis right away and the Doc called me on Friday! Good News, My Husbands swimmers are fast and he has lots of them.....
I am currently now on CD2 I will be starting Clomid CD 5-9... My question is, when is it better to take clomid? Morning or before bed?
Before bed take clomid!!!!!! I too am also on round 6! Last 2 pills tonight. My side effects were much worse taking in the morning! Also my partner has a hard time performing on demand and last month we missed our iui cause the doc booked us for 730am then he had to go for surgery so he couldn't wait for us and my poor guy could get his sample soon enough! I am delighted to read everyones comments and see that I am not alone!
Hi,
Thanks for the comment! I figured it would be better to take at night so I wouldn't get all the side effects during the day at work!
This is my first round of clomid, so lets hope my hubby can perform on demand. But I am trying to think up some ways to make it easier! I don't want to be like "hunny, i'm ovulating, let go NOW!"
LOL
