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...

well I tested this morning and still a stupid BFN...So I am not sure, I am waiting for the slip to be sent to the lab so I can get bloodwork. I signed up for a gym membership, and I am really going to work on my weight. They say it helps so I am hoping that by me being deciated to this that good things will happen. Still on Metformin, and still no sign of AF. Now I am really thinking that the OPK strips didn't work. But if I test now they are -. They may have worked but didn't stick. Me and DH have been communicating alot more. And we have not got into a fight, which is a good thing. I know I can be a pest about alot of things, and I know that by back off just a little bit, and taking in the whole picture..has worked. It has also given me time to THINK ABOUT ME. I have 2 more rounds of clomid left, but I am thinking maybe dropping another 10-15 pounds then taking them..along with the Metformin. I am going to get serious about this, I would like to be prego before the end of this year..so we have 5 more months to get it together!! :)   the same way I am focused about school and work, is the way I am going to be about my health, my hubby and my life. I think this whole experience has just taught me alot about everything.

Well, I finally got my + OPK today on CD 23! I'm excited because I had pretty much had in my mind that I was out this cycle. The only reason I tested today was because I had one test left. Crazyness! I was thinking that because I used the Answer tests last cycle where I had to compare the two lines that maybe I didn't get a positive like I thought that I did... so when I switched to digital and hadn't gotten a + it made me doubt myself. I'm relieved and really appreciated seeing that cute little happy face! =]

Side note- I had a funeral to go to today.. the woman was 99 years old! What an amazing celebration of life I was able to be apart of! I hope that I can (in the very near future) experience a brand new life! =]]]

Trying - I'm so sorry to hear that your hsg was so painful. =[ I'm relieved to know that you have/had your mom there to help out and be another form of support that I'm sure you so desperately needed!

Jenna - 50 mil!? That's insane! I'm rooting for you and your dh, poms poms and all!

Sherry - bummer about the bfn... let's hope that you just need a few more days to build up that hcg!

Rain - did you retest!? I had a really crazy dream two nights ago, it actually woke me up and I was really upset about it... three people really close to me died, it was the strangest, saddest, emotionally draining dream I've ever had! I was told once that when you have a dream about someone dying it means that new life is on it's way.... I'm willing to bet that I was somehow thinking of the funeral I had to go to today and incorporated it into my dream but it's worth a hopeful shot, right!l

Camdy - no clue about your temp, sorry. I completely gave up testing my bbt after the first cycle.

Thankful fors:

1) My DH, who is always here for me no matter what, even though it's impossible to understand everything going on with me (I'm a girl, duh!) he tries so hard and I wouldn't want to be going through ttc or anything for that matter without him (not that it's really possible to go through ttc without a man, lol)

2) This site, but not only this site but the wonderful ladies on here that are so gracious and willing to exchange information to help each other out. It really does mean a lot to know that there are other people out there that have the same exact feelings as I do and are going through the same thing... makes me not feel so alone since infertility seems kind of taboo.

3) My faith that this will happen for all of us.

I've just got so much to say today, sorry ladies. I went to target and walked by the baby section (OF COURSE) and saw a woman with what looked like her significant other standing looking at onsies just crying and staring. I felt so bad for her... if she was alone I would have totally went up to her and hugged her. I've personally never seen that before and it made me feel like, again, that I'm not alone and this sh!t happens to more people than I think anyone realizes... and it's freaking real. I have so much respect for every single one of you ladies battling ttc and being unsuccessful. But, while I was looking at baby things, I saw a onsie that said "wishes do come true"... I just about lost my cr@p and teared up a little. I bought it. I'm going to upload it right now... it's so freakin' cute... I hope that I can put it to good use!! =]

Totally forgot to put 3 things I'm grateful for, so here goes...

1)  My dh, who, although at times can be a brat about all this, at the end of the day has my best interest at heart and wants a baby as much as I do.  He doesn't complain about all the money we are putting out and he always lets me cry on his shoulder when af shows her ugly face time after time.

2) My fabulous job which is incredibly flexible so I can go to my appts, follicle studies and bloodwork.

3) My amazing family who always calls on the important days to see how my appts, follicle studies and bloodwork went.  They also call just to let me know they are praying and give me little gifts on peak days such as Mother's Day, the day of my m/c anni, the day my baby was due and the day my ex boyf's wife had her baby (that day was amazingly hard for me!)

4) And, of course, you guys who are seriously the only people that REALLY understand what I'm going through.  God bless you all and SSBD!!!

Trying ~ somehow I missed it . . . what exactly were you having done??  It sounds painful!  I hope you're feeling better today.  Glad your mom's around to help!!

Rain ~ hope things get better with dh!  Stress does not help our ttc, so blame it back on him! lol

Sherry ~ still hoping for you bfp!  Good luck :)

Jenna ~ I hope your tww flies by!  SSBD to you!!

Hopefully someone can help me out here!  My temps dropped over the weekend for 2 days under my baseline, so I pretty much figured I needed to give up for this cycle.  Anyways, this morning, my temp shot back up almost a whole degree!  I don't have any AF symptoms and I'm only 9 dpo.  Now what?? Do I stop taking my progesterone cream?  Is there a chance I could still be pregnant this cycle?  Is there any way that my temp could have dropped due to implantation or anything like that??  Has this happened to anyone else?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!!
