Good luck starfly! I did 4 clomid cycles and it didn't work for us. But then I went to a naturopath while the clinic was closed over Christmas and got utd before we moved on to IUI If you haven't been to a naturopath it's worth it - especially if you find one that will support your assisted conception journey (I was going to come off a couple of herbs to do the IUI, but she was to support me through that - but thankfully we didn't need to go there).
Just a quick update, I took my second round of clomid and did a pregnancy test 5 days ago very faint BFP and then I did one today 6 days later and I got my very first BFP after 2 years of trying to concieve... Wish us luck and please keep everything, well almost everything crossed for us! Hugs, Kisses and Baby dust to all.....
Well I didn't concieve on my first cycle of clomid, however I got a BFP this month and went to my dr's a few days ago and I am 4 weeks pregnant. It felt good to hear the dr say it. Hopefully It all goes well, Im excited and nervous at the same time. Especially after trying to concieve for 24 months and seeing my first positive. I am just taking it easy, resting when I'm tired and eating well. Sending baby dust to all. xxx.
i'm thinking of going to the doc to get some clomid if i dont get pregnant this cycle. i've been off the pill since beginning of march and only ovulated twice so far, thanks to polycystic ovaries. i'm hoping third cycles a charm but if not i'm up for the drugs! they seem to work well for other people.
will my normal GP be able to give me a script? how long do you generally have to be trying for?
does it work straight away? like if i take it from CD 5 or whatever, will i ovulate on CD 15??
Mich83 - The GP will send you either to an OB/GYN or a fertility Dr who will then do bloods and prescribe you clomid from there. I don't think GP's prescribe it..
Goodluck with the iui's I hope that it all happens for you really really soon. I found preseed helpful. I will keep everything crossed for you and your partner xxx
As PP said only OB/GYn can prescribe it it may be a wait to get tn to them- I have pcos as well and my GP gave me metformin which reduced my cycle length so i took that and then got clomid at obs. preseed it great too).
MIish --83 Clomid is a set of 5 tabs I think form memory and yr OB/GYN will tell you when to take it whether it be days 2-5 or 5-9, normally you will be montiered ( either by bloods or scan )to see if you have and follicles that are ready to ov and then yr dr will tell when to DTD, there is no set date when you will ovulate.
although it seems really black and white with clomid it is not at all, depends on yr severity of PCOS, mucus etc
