Hey Everyone,
My hubby and I started trying again about a year ago. We had our son without any problems 2 yrs ago and here we are again. Except now I am having issues with not ovulating ~ I have been on clomid for 3 cycles at 50 mg. My progesterone level was way up last month , but when we tested a few days ago it was even lower than before. So disappointed!
My Dr. increased the dosage to 100mg this round, so we will see if it works. Also, i am having a regular period now but those ovulation tests are always neg?? what gives? Has anyone tried the ovu watch? any help would be so appreciated!
My DH & I have been ttc since Janaury of 2007 with no luck. We just went to our RE who said the bloodwork for me and my DH analysis came back fine, but I don't get regular periods (I've had 3 this year on my own, 1 brought on by provera) so he's pretty sure I'm not ovulating. I'll start my firstFirst progesterone mc10 First progesterone mc5 First-progesterone vgs 200 First-progesterone vgs 400 cycle of clomid (50mg) after my next af (may need to take provera again to bring it on). I'm very hopeful it'll work fast because we're stressing since it's been so long!
Anyone been in a similar situation want to share how long it took for clomid to work for them?
Hi, this my third cycle of clomid. I had a tubalEctopic pregnancy Gynecologic laparoscopy Tubal ligation Tubal ligation - series reversal in March '08. Dr prescribed clomid in May '08 and we were 7 weeks pregnant in June '08. This pregnancy ended a week later with a tubal pregnancy. My second cycle of clomid was in Sept '08 with no success I started my third cycle in October. I am due for my menses on the 19th of Nov. I started cramping while on clomid and afterwards like my cycle is near. I just don't know what to do, I've already had so much disappointment this far. I am a 37 yr old woman wanting to have a child.
Hi, I am 6 weeks pregnant with the help of clomid 50 mg. I have a 31/2 year old boy but I wasn't ovulating. My doctor put me on clomid in October and it worked.
Hi,
This is my second round on clomid, the first round I was on 50 mg and this month 100mg so hopefully this month it will be good news to share with all. I have a 3.5 year old daughter, the first pregnancy I was on clomid 2 rounds both 50 mg of clomid. I hope my chances are high just by being on 100 mg of clomid this month. Does that give me a greater chcnce to have twins? Does anyone know?
Good luck to you all and keep me posted:)
P.
Im 24 yrs and have been married for 3 years. My husband and I have been trying for a baby all 3 years. In February of this year we found out we were pregnant. So excited we were we started spreading the good news to family and friends. But sometimes good news comes to a tragic end, we found out we were pregnant on Feb. 20th and by the 24th I was in the hospital bleeding so heavy. They confirmed it I had miscarried our 2 month baby! Looking back I remember drinking occassionally and taking Nyquil for a bad cough I had had, although doing all this not knowing I was pregnant! Im sure this had alot to do with the miscarrage (miscarriage), right? I mean the first 3 months of pregnancy are the most crusial. Well with heart ache and pain my husband and I got throught it together. By September I went for my yearly exam and everything was fine, just was told I had a few falicals on one of my ovaries??? Dont really know what that means. My Dr. also recommended us trying Clomid, and he also prescribed me Provera for my irregular periods (I have always had irregular periods and can go months without one). So starting on Oct. 6 I started the Provera to help me have a period, 10 days later I had my period. Then on Oct. 23rd started Clomid!!! On Nov. 16th I took a pregnancy test just because I had a extra one in my cabinet and it was +!!! I went to my Dr. on the 18th of Nov. and they did a vaginal ultra sound but couldnt see anything yet, I was told cause I am extremely early in my pregnancy. Did lab work and came back positive for being pregnant. I go back to the Dr. on the 2nd of Dec. and hope they will find something on the ultra sound. Im so anxious and nervous, so scared of miscarrage (miscarriage), and other complications. And yes I was on my first dose of Clomid and I am now pregnant......anyone have any other questions or advice for me please feel free to email me or answer back v_brumley84***@****
So last time i left a message i was excited about going to go and see this new naturpath/herbalist lady. We had our first visit over 2 weeks ago and great news for us is that 3 days after i saw her she managed to kick my periods in with natural tablets. I have been an emotional wreck which is great because i never was before. I have had cramping and this week being ovulation week i have had leaking nipples. Not much but i have never had anything before. I go back this week to see her and see a specialist in Sydney next week to get more blood tests done. Very exciting for us to have something. So fingers crossed that we will have the ok to start trying to conceive this month coming. Cause having a break is killing us.
Fingers crossed for all those out there trying to conceive and i hope that Clomid does work for you as didnt for us.
I also was having periods but never actually ovulating or if i did it was on a low scale. Your dr should be increasing your Clomid by 50mg every cycle unless he sees that when he increases it your develop cysts. Which is what happened to me. All documentation relating to Clomid also says that you shouldnt be on Clomid for more than 6 cycles. If you do go as far as 6 cycles then he should be trying another type rather that Clomid on you.
I only tried to watch my temp but it was always really erratic. Up and down 0.7 every day.
I have never really been one for natural therapies but the lady i am seeing instead of taking Clomid now has managed to get me to get my hormones in the right place and i have regular temp movement with the changing moods and everything. All it was, was that i was missing key vitamins in my diet. Perhaps seeing someone like a naturopath would be a good idea.
im going on my furst time going on clomid 50mg 3-7 day and i wanted to know what was the side of sideafects on it becouse it been 4 years with me and my husband since we tryed and nothing so i went to a gyn and she put me on clomid and i hope it wirks plz email me to let me know what you can help me with and some other stuff ***@**** thanks again
I was on clomid in November 08 and i got pregnant my first round at 50mg. Everything looked fine and I saw the heartbeat at 7 weeks. I started having cramps and bleeding alot around week 8 1/2. I ended up losing the baby at almost 10 weeks and had a DC. My doctor said that Clomid doesn't have anything to do with the miscarriage and that something was most likely wrong with the baby. After a lot of pain and heartbrake we got through it and are ready to try again. We have started another round of clomid and now I just have to wait two weeks to take a test...I can't wait!!

Please read the below information. This is from A Therapeutics website.
Usual Dosage
Adults: Oral:
Male (infertility): 25 mg/day for 25 days with 5 days rest, or 100 mg every Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Female (ovulatory failure): 50 mg/day for 5 days (first course); start the regimen on or about the fifth day of cycle. The dose should be increased only in those patients who do not ovulate in response to cyclic 50 mg Clomid®. A low dosage or duration of treatment course is particularly recommended if unusual sensitivity to pituitary gonadotropin is suspected, such as in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
If ovulation does not appear to occur after the first course of therapy, a second course of 100 mg/day (two 50 mg tablets given as a single daily dose) for 5 days should be given. This course may be started as early as 30 days after the previous one after precautions are taken to exclude the presence of pregnancy. Increasing the dosage or duration of therapy beyond 100 mg/day for 5 days is not recommended. The majority of patients who are going to ovulate will do so after the first course of therapy. If ovulation does not occur after 3 courses of therapy, further treatment is not recommended and the patient should be re-evaluated. If 3 ovulatory responses occur, but pregnancy has not been achieved, further treatment is not recommended. If menses does not occur after an ovulatory response, the patient should be re-evaluated. Long-term cyclic therapy is not recommended beyond a total of about 6 cycles.
Our Naturopath recommends sex from Day 10-18 of cycle in case you ovulate early or late. She recommends that your male partner refrains from ejaculating 3 days prior to Day 10. From Day 10 have sex every 2nd day. Best in the morning and sex should be from a rear entry (doggy style) position this way the penis is up against the cervix. It is important for you (female) to orgasm as this helps the sperm to be sucked up inside of the cervix. After ejaculation has finished lie on your stomach for 10minutes. This helps the sperm to swim the right way.
I have taken clomid for two months and it worked, the best way to ensure your chance is to get the ovulation mid stream tests, they really work and you can count on your chances....all the best
