What cycle of Clomid are you on?? any side effects?

Hello everyone I think that this form will be very helpful for all that are on Clomid or that will start Clomid soon.

Let me start by saying that I have PCOS and I have 11 year old daughter I have been TTC on and off the last 7 years but since I been married a year ago we been trying faithfully. I was on Clomid in Nov. 2009 I was taking 50mg 3-7cd I was told that I didnt O on this round and that I would need to go up on my next round. Dec came and went no AF so went in to see if I was Pergo but no I was not so they put me on provrea then Clomid on 3-7 100mg. I am now on my 3 and last round of Clomid I am on 150mg 3-7 days and I hope that this time I O because on my last round they told me I O early on cd 15 I have never O in 11 years so that was a good thing. But doc said that the numbers where not where he wanted them to be at so that is why he up my clomid this time.
As for side effects on 50mg I had mood swings and hot flashes and the wonderful headaches... On 100mg I thank god I did not have any but did have crazy dreams with them. And with 150mg I had the vision problems. I just hope that this time works.
Would love to hear your stories on Clomid and hear how long before you got your BFP on Clomid...

Ok so I have been reading alot, and I have been on Metformin, and Vetix(herb). Still no AF, now as far as the diet, so I have lost weight..walking about 60 mins a day, BUT i have read that women with PCOS should AVOID dairy foods? WHY? Also my other question is...if you have sex at night..then fall asleep, then wake up at 6 in the morning to go to the bathroon, does sperm run out? Like when you use the bathroon are you also peeing serm that isnt any good any more? LOL! TMI sorry....like I know they say not to have sex then go straight to the bathroom, and they say to lay down after having sex, but I have been using the bathroom alot..so are my swimmer leaving? sorry

Mangoaddict & ALL: Yes, i want to start a new thread as well with all of us there --- I think we are much more than "What cycle of Clomid are you on? Any side effects?"

Anyone object? We can name it and then just move our discussion over to it.

Let's throw out some names :
Our Turn Soon...
Along the path...
Summer Cycle Sisters...
Fertility Friends...

Anyone with ideas?

I think it's good luck to start something new again!

Hello to my favorite ladies ever~ Today is Friday, wooo hooo!!!! Only half way through my work day... but on the bright side it's a 3 day weekend. No work Monday. And of course it is my luck on a 3 day weekend that I will not be able to consume any drinks!  :o(  But I am praying that it will be for a reason. Coming up on the end of week one, which means another week and a few days till I can test. Hopefully it will go by super FAST- Hope everyone is having a fabulous Friday!!!!!!!

SSBD to all- we are in a new month, so new miracles await us all~

I am feeling pretty good today. Me and DH have a date tonight, we are going to go watch the new Twiligh Movie "Eclipe"! I am excited. Well my docs office called me bright and early this morning at 7:40 to ask me if I took the medication..I SAID NO! and I requested a lab slip for and HCG bloodtest. Do you know the lady don't me again that my doc said that wasn't needed. So I am going to begin my quest for a new doc/RE. Ill give AF two weeks and if she dosen't come, ill see my PCP and get a bloodtest. I have been having to use the bathroom ALOT, and I am just feeling werid. But then again, I think I am just werid :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend! Happy July 4th. SSDB to all. I am keeping everyone in my prayers!

Sherry: Sorry about AF showing her face. Hopefully you and DH can still try to work on a way to make your dreams come true.

SHERRY: I'm so so very sorry! Especially because your schedule with DH is now going to make it even more complex. But don't give up...I understand if you want to take a break for the next month... but I think you will get your 2nd angel... at least it sounds like your cycle is pretty regular. AF and all...

CARLIS: I was just wondering where you went and if you're okay. Glad to hear form you. Yes, I had my momentary freak-out, but back to my positive self and sent SIL a nice congrats package today... felt good. I agree with you completely--isn't it strange how we can go from one up to a down to a hope AF never comes to hoping it comes fast. We're all nuts!!!

AMANDA & WANTSMY: Thanks ladies for your comments. You're both right... and like wants said, I'm not upset that she's preg.; just that I'm not. Exactly.

But sooooonnnnnn.... soon soon soon very very soon!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone. I haven't been on in alittle bit so I thought I'd check in. I have year end at work today but am waiting on reports to see if we balance. Fun times :)

let's see if I got tis all right :)

sherry:  I really hope you get your bfp :). I wouldn't give up yet.

Amanda:  you are such an amazing woman!  You have been through alot lately and you are still so positive. I hope you get af soon and can start back up.

Jenna:  everything sounds really good for you. I hope you get your bfp this month :)

owl: I am so sorry you were down. You are so positive that it's sad to see you get down. I hope this is your month. I know how it is. My cousin is due next month with their 4th and he even got fixed!  They got prego right before it.

Wanna: the onsie is too cute!!

Rain:  I'm sorry for everything you are going through. Added stress doesn't help

trying:  sorry the hsg was so painful. But glad all was clear

sorry if I forgot anyone. I hope you all are doing great!

I'm on my last day of provera and can't wait for af to come. Funny how things turn around and now I can't wait for af to come :). I'm really looking to starting up again. I have been working out more and eating better :). So only time will tell.

SSBD to everyone!!!

Just did my progesterone test today and results don't come out until later. Hopefully, this will give my doctor all the clues needed to figure out what to do. I might have to up my Clomid 100mg from 50Mg. Keep me in your prayers. Happy 4th to all my friends and sisters.

I have so much baby stuff in my house still from last year when I was prego with my son. I still have the new stoller in the basement, I have a bunch of clothes..bags and bags..and bottles. I started to give things away to friends and family. But since I am being positive, and I like the stroller ill keep it for another year.

As far as my doc, I made an appt with my PCP and will be seeing her on July 19th if AF dosen't show. Ill wait another week...and call to get in sooner. I am just achy right now. I just can't decribe it in words..just BLAH

I've been gone for a while.. but I sometimes I think it's better that way, I don't want to have ttc in my mind all 24/7 :)

Rain, If you don't get AF and still want a blood test just go tell the doctor you HAVE to have a blood test, for your peace of mind! Dr really can't deny that, tell him/her you know of a lot of ppl who pregnancy didn't show up on htp and you NEED a blood test.

Sherry, I'm sorry your temp has dropped, I know the feeling of wanting to just get AF and start the new cycle, I'm on day 60 of my cycle and still no AF, I'm taking provera.

Owl, I understand about your SIL, since we've been trying my SIL has gotten pregnant, along with other 10 or so other people that I know, It's hard to be happy at first, but eventually it will go away, and no, we're not upset they're pregnant, we're just upset we can't be pregnant as well.. it;s frustrating that it comes so easy for most women except us.

Amanda, Trying, I'm getting the tubes test too, as soon as I get my period. Dr told me to take some iboprufen before going in, but he didn't mention anything about fasting. I guess I'll ask whenever I call to schedule.

Amanda, I too am afraid of buying baby things, I have a fear that I will never be a mom. Am I being too negative? Dh never wants to look at baby stuff while we're on target or walmart, he says we don't have a baby yet so no need on buying things or looking at thinks and make myself sad.

Amanda: I did take tylonal before but on an empty stomach cause you cannot eat before so I know that probably played into me getting so sick afterwards. The cramps afterwards are one thing and yes, you can handle those. Having had a baby already and a couple mc that were extremely painful, I didn't think this would be that bad. The major pain for me was wehn they blew up the balloon in my uterous and I wanted to scream. I hope it is less painful for you.

Well hubby just called me from work and told me he's going to night shift starting Sunday :( so I guess this month was my last shot on a clomid cycle cause I will only see him on friday nights and saturdays.  Im really bummed about this and don;t know what to do.  I guess we could move onto iui but i don't think I could afford it right now.

On a better note  Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadian ladies on here!!!  My parents took my 4 yr old to take in all the festivities as my carpet is being installed today in my basement so I have to stay home :(
