    Clomid - how many cycles til you got a BFP?

    Hi,


    This is my first cycle on clomid and I'm in the middle of my TWW . I'm really, really, really hoping it works this month, but then, I thought 10 cycles ago when we first started TTC that I'd be a mummy by Christmas. It's just so depressing getting those and then having AF arrive.

    Is the anyone out there who can tell me their clomid stories? Did it work for you? Did it take many months? Am I being overly optimistic hoping it will have worked this cycle?

    Bon

    Clomid worked on the 5th cycle for us. I remember 5 being a bit of a magic number around here.

    Clomid works wonders for some people and others it doesn't work at all. Hang in there

    I tried it for 3 cycles but it didn't work. I got the most massive mood swings I've ever experienced in my life on it. I conceived 3 months after going off it on a natural cycle but that resulted in an early m/c.

    I did one cycle on 50mg (crazy woman) then as Christmas 08 was going to coincide with me being a Clomid Crazy Cow and I had all the family coming we decided to go for a natural cycle and presto YAY.

    Good luck!!

    Hi Bonnie

    It took us 3 clomid cycles to fall with this little one. I found it best taken at night too as the side effects usually take place while you are sleeping.

    Best of luck with ttc journey!
