Feeling down - 1st round of clomis and no success :(

[mangoaddict]

I just got done with my first round of clomid. I ovulated but it appears no pregnancy, since I tested today and it was negative. I'm just feeling emotionally drained. Anyone else feel this way? I know one round of clomid is really soon to give up but honestly, I just feel so emotionally spent.

Wish I could get some support here. Hopefully there are tons of positive stories to cheer me up!

Thanks.

I am starting my third round of clomida tomorrow morning. will have an u/s on saturday next week.after that, my third iui.  the first round was hard and  I undertand about being frustrated. I am 39 years old and have pcos. Husband is good... so it is all on me. Sometimes i feel like a broken rag doll but then... I have to remember that God would not put me through something like this if there nothing to learn or gain.  either way the experience is a blessing. There are so many out there who can not even consider the options that we can.

Keep you chin up, know that you are not alone as we are all there for you and with you. Trust in your heart and you will be fine.

Good Luck... hoping that the third time is a charm

Hang in there I'm on my 2nd cylce of Clomid and 5th iui. In the 2ww right now.  I think for some people  it just takes time, that's what I tell myself anyway.
It is very sad, and I hope you're feeling better soon.  Good luck and I'm praing for you.  
Just remember all of us will be here for you :)

thank you girls. I don't know where to begin. I really feel this is a "test" for me from above. I have had a normal baby girl with no medication 7 years ago and now this seems so foreign to me. Sometimes, I feel real bad feelings and blame myself for putting on weight and not taking care of myself but then, I see others who are obese and carrying around kids. I am not even obese! I dont know what to say. It has been a tough 4 years for me. With 2 m/cs it has not been easy because doctors don;t even know whats wrong with me. They all pushed for clomid, so I took it and now no pregnancy and I am waiting for my AF. My 4 years have been really difficult for me. I cry alot from inside and feel numb but I see and hear of miracles and I sweat that God is watching over me. Sorry for venting. I just don't know who else to talk to. My hubby is very supportive but he cannot understand a woman's body like a woman can. That is why I am here.

The clomid definitely shortened my long cycles, but then it also thinned my uterine lining. I'm so frustrated. My doctor thinks a 6.8mm is not too bad. But I'am so scared.

I don't want this to be counter productive to my goal. I hope my dreams come true. I really truly do. Thank u for listening.

Hi,

I am just about to get my period after my second round of clomid and 1st round of IUI.  I was so sure this cycle was going to work, and now it hasn't.  Am sad.

This does put us on an emotional roller coaster.

I can't do IVF (not available here), and so I'm depending on IUI and good old mother nature.  Hoping that this next cycle will be the one.

Forgot to mention.  I also found out that if you are on clomid you should wait at least until the 3rd day after taking your last clomid pill before taking OPK.   The clomid will cause a false positive on the OPK.
