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...

Someone asked the latest they tested and got a bfp...I peed on sticks for about 18 dpo and no +, when in fact I was. It wasn't until the super pain and er visit that I found out I was preggo. My sister didn't show up on pee sticks for over 2 months and she went on to have a healthy pregnancy and a terrible little boy.
Owl - you are always so upbeat and positive. I am surprised that something got you down that much...but I totally understand. My youngest sis is trying to get preggo AGAIN and she is only 19 (not married, JUST got her own place last week, and her bf is a jerk) and she keeps calling me for advice on how to do it. Part of me doesn't want to give her any tips, but I can't with hold the info from her - she knows I know ALL about it. She o'ed two days ago and I am dreading the call in two weeks when she says she is preggo...I am gonna need a lot of prayer! I will be certain to pray for you too - sometimes things just aren't fair, but it IS God's plan.
Rain - that is total BS that your dr won't give you a blood test. If you don't like your dr - get a new one FAST. I sat around not liking my dr for 2 years and nothing happened. I switched (and LOVE my new dr) and immediately went on provera and clomid. Even tho it didn't work out, at least I got preggo with this dr. Something is better than nothing. And I am sure she would have done another blood test for me at anytime if I had asked. In fact, she gave me like 3-4 extra ultrasounds (before, during and after the m/c) just because I asked or felt uncomfortable about making decisions. Good dr's are there to support you, your body, mind, and spirit. I was super suprised that my dr respected my religious beliefs in relation to fertility. You NEED a good dr. So get one babe! They might be hard to find, but they are out there.
Trying and Cam - So the tube blockage test was painful for you? I am having one done soon and am nervous about it. Did you all take any pain killers before? Some people take tylenol, but I still have some percaset left and might take one of those before hand if you all say it is painful. I've dealt with some pretty serious cramps and pain down there before, so I know I can handle it - I just don't want to! LOL Either of you care to be pretty descriptive about the test so I know what I am up against?
Sherry - don't give up yet...you still have time for a bfp.
Wanna - your onsie made me cry! I so want to go start buying all those things for babies, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I still have this fear that I will never be a mom and I think it would just be too hard for me to keep looking at all the stuff I won't ever use.
Jenna and Rain - Here is a dream story for you. A girl at work told me a few weeks ago that she dreamed about me...I was sitting in a field surrounded by pink bunnies. Well, DH told me some crazy (and looooong) story a few weeks before that about how bunnies=fertility. The lady at work was sure I was preggo. Well, two weeks later she had the dream again....and ultimately she was right. I was preggo. Also, last night I had this crazy dream about me being preggo. In the dream I was so excited. I woke up very nervous tho because it seemed so real and I can NOT be preggo right now - my hgc numbers are not at zero and I have been robbed of folic acid - now is NOT the time!
But on a good note, I think I am starting to get af today....and I am NOT in pain! This would be the first af since m/c. But i'm not totally convinced that it is af. I have been having the tiniest amount of brownish discharge since the mc and this morning it was pink/red and a lot more - and not so much discharge as it was actual bleeding. Later this morning it was brownish/pinkish again, but a lot more and again it doesn't look like discharge. I hope it is af and I can start moving forward and counting days again! Please keep me in your prayers today - I need it!
Everyone, keep your chin up! The "list" seemed to bring some spirits up...it helps to remember the good things in life when things are not going our way. Well, Happy First of July everyone! Have great days and a great month this time around! :) :) :)

Good morning ladies! Looks like yesterday was a rough day for many people. I am officially on vacation today for the whole month!!! I am hoping the relaxing and enjoying time with family helps me some. I don't know what my body is doing right now because I have tried to stop charting as my Dr said. I did my BBT twice this month though and it is already high! I am concerned because I may have missed my chance if I already O. Time will tell. Im getting all my blood work tomorrow and then we are going to look at Tahoes. My Dh sold his truck yesterday "because we need something bigger" so I hope we really do!
Owl: Sorry yesterday was such a hard day for you and glad you are feeling better now.
Rain: Im sorry to hear af is on her way though that is good so you don't have to take the
provera.
Lash: That is great and good luck with round 2!

Morning ladies, well I really think AF is on her way now..I am getting alot of cramp and lower back pain, my boobs are starting to get really senitive. Which I think may all be AF coming because it seems like ever since I started Clomid I am now getting all these smypthoms around the time I get AF. Since HPT said negitive ill just take that, and just think she is on her way. I REALLY don't want to take the Provera, even though I already have it, but I just have a feeling she is on her way. I temp this week, and for the first half of the week I was aroun 97.7 and today 96.8.
Well hopefully we will have good luck this month! Things are getting better at home, but I think this is only the begining. Hope you ladies have a wondeful day!

Hi all! I have been super busy latley and have been reading but not able to post.
I am pretty excited because my CD this month was 32 days!!! That is my shortest since September!! Normally I have been anywhere from 43-50 days! So I am on my second round of clomid day 3. My OB upped me to 100mg because she said I didn't O last month.
Hope everyone can have a fun and relaxing 4th of July!! : )

Thank you ladies for immediately helping me to calm down a bit and regain my strength and faith. My DH came home to give me a big hug too. I do feel better now... and I did send her a congrats email that I truly meant, with blessings for health, which I also truly meant.
Every new life is a miracle, I think I am coming to understand that more and more. I am just trying to remain open to our miracle which I KNOW will come soon.
I hope the same for all you ladies who have tried so long and are inspiration to me to keep going with grace and hope.
