How Soon Does Clomid Work? 1st Month Trying

[beddajess]

Hi Everyone : )

I took my first round of Clomophene Citrate (Clomid)  days 3 to 7 of my cycle, March 14th being the first day of my cycle. I made sure to have sex the days my doctor recommended. I also took Robitussin during my fertile days to make sure my cervical mucus was not hostile. Seems like it helped. I should be expecting my cycle to start next weekend, April 9th or 10th....

Of coarse I am a little bit anxious to hopefully not start. But I just thought I would ask and see how many woman this drug has worked for and how long did it take? I have no symptoms of pregnancy as of yet, which I would assume it would be too soon anyway, right?

Please help keep my hopes up with your own personal experiences :D! Thank you in advance!!

I know you already saw that i am pregnant but to answer your question from April 12th, I broke down and tested the 14th day after the IUI.  IUI was 3/29/11 and I test 4/12/11 and got a strong positive.  Others I hear it can take a little longer to show.  I am just so happy to have the first IUI work!  Good luck to you, you are even younger than me so don't give up yet (doesn't sound like you will either)!!!  I was so pessimistic for SO long that I almost passed out when I saw the positive home test I took 2 days ago!  Waiting for more bloodwork results to come back from this morning -- just making sure my numbers go up like they should -- so I'll keep you all posted!  Take care sweetie!

No worries girlie ;)

And hummm sounds like you n I have a lot in common. So far the only sign of infertility that I might have is ovulation problems. My cycles use to be 24 to 26 days apart. After the HSG test, they became 27 and with my first round of clomid, they became 28. So I am just hoping and praying that it can work for me. Whether it be now or in the next few months. It's so hard to go through all of this without feeling somewhat defective. Thank God for this site. It helps a lot.

I want you to know that I am saying many prayers for you and I really hope your lil miracle shows up soon!! Thank you for giving me support!! It means soo much!! : D!!!

hi
sorry to respond so late...my dr.recommended IUI but I dint go for it for two reasons..First I couldnt afford it and second I was damn nervous, so now we are back to our natural method of TTC and lets hope we succeed :) cuz my dr said theres no abnormality, ovaries, uterus fine, tubes clear, and I ovulate too...so I guess I need to relax and just enjoy the procedure instead of thinking of it all the time...ive stopd tracking my fertile days too ;) maybe sumday il get a BFP :)))))

I really hope that ur second round of clomid works for u and u get prego without any problems :D
and good luck to the rest too...baby dust to all!!!!

Hi Kimberleigh,

Thank you so much for your post!! It really helps to receive feedback!! Much appreciated. :)

I am very sorry to hear that the Clomid was not successful for you. That is a long time of waiting and for it to not work, I know had to be discouraging. But I must say, I admire you for your courage to keep pushing on and not give up!! So far, my doc and nurse say that I have reacted very well to the Clomid. I am hoping it happens soon because I have heard that it can thin out the uterus lining. I have made a goal that if I am not prego by the 3rd round, then I want to try the IUI. I start taking my 2nd round of 50 mg tonight, 3 to 7 days of my period. I am doing my best to not become discouraged. This site really helps bring support.

I am so excited for you with the IUI! I really really hope that you get a positive result!! No AF!!! How long does it take once you get your IUI done for you to know if you are prego? I know someone who just had IVF done on April 6th and was told she can test on the 19th. So that is 13 days. It takes time to implant, correct? So if you haven't started yet, then hopefully you are prego!! Please do keep us all posted on here, I am anxious to hear what happens!! I really appreciate the support and luck you are sending my way! Thank you again!

You are in my thoughts and prayers! We all deserve a chance at motherhood!!
