Clomid (Helen, ashort, rumsy and anyone else)

[Heather5]

Just wanted thank you guys for your info on Clomid. I called my doctor and left a message this morning to see if he'll let me try it. Just got a call back from his nurse, who is soooo sweet! She's been helping me through my two miscarriages and has always been super nice to me. She said my doctor is out sick today, but hopes he'll be back tomorrow. She said she's going to ask him then and try to convince him to let me try it :-) So, hopefully he'll agree. I'll let you guys know what happens...

I do have one more question, though. I'm CD3 today, so will I still be able to try it this month if he gives me a prescription tomorrow or the next day?

Hang in there.  You can start Clomid on cycle day 5.  I've even heard it started as late as cycle day 7.  But, hopefully, you'll get yours on cd 5.  Good luck!

Well, my doctor is still out sick, so I guess I'll have to check back again tomorrow... If he's still out tomorrow, I'll probably have to wait until next month, since I'm CD 4 today.

Hi sibs! Pre-seed is a sperm-friendly lubricant. I bought mine over the Internet :-)

Still haven't heard back from my doctor's office. I'll probably call and check in a couple of hours...unless they call me first.

what is pre-seed ( is it a lubricant) how does it help and how do you use it do you buy it from pharmacies? thanks ladies

[Heather5]

Thank you guys for all the great information! I already have some pre-seed (tried is this past cycle, and still have four left), so I'll definitely use it again this month :-) I'll let you  know what my doctor says tomorrow...if he's back in the office.

Thanks again! And best of luck to all of you...whether you're in the 2WW or getting ready for your next O!!!

I have been on a dozen or more cycles of clomid, both 50 and 100mg for 5 days and no luck.  My doctor upped it to 10 days (starting day 3) and it did the trick.  I am almost 6 weeks!  If the 5 days doesn't work, ask if you can take for 10, especially if you O late in your cycle, that was my problem, I O'd around day 18 or 19 on the 5 days of Clomid, on 10 days, it was day 14.  Good luck to everyone!
