So nervous ... starting Clomid

[Mum2SweetCs]

Hi Ladies,

I finally got the long awaited call that i am safe to start clomid today. Now im getting a whole heap of emotions just rushing and I dont know why.

Im scared - side effects of clomid, what if i have twins, what if clomid causes a M/C
Im excited - I have a high chance of getting pregnant now, which ive wanted for so long!
Im regretful - what if i could have gotten pregnant naturally without clomid.

I am not sure why i feel so much when i havent even started!!!!

Nervous/scared/excited.

Thanks ladies so much for your support.

I hope that your journey on clomid I short and sweet and that you soon see those 2 precious lines that mean your second child is on its way

I feel the same way, I am starting it soon too. Goodluck can't wait to hear it works for you!

Wishing you the best of luck. As someone else said, just focus on it as being a positive and proactive step in your journey and will hopefully help you reach your goal sooner rather than later. I felt the same way - nervous, excited and scared each time I took a different step in my journey. Also, remember that not everyone gets all the side effects so just take it as it comes. The only symptom I had was feeling some pressure, a bit like marbles in my ovary area...but I saw this as a positive sign that things were on track.

How is it going? xoxox

Hey ladies, I just finished the 5th pill. So far so good, no side effects yet. Waiting for day 11 to 19 to dtd. Fun ... Not lol.

good luck hun xox

[Ahurani]

Good luck! Hehe

DTD after CD19 too! Last cycle on clomid i O'd on CD 22-23, that's why we missed it because we stopped DTD!! Good luck.

[Mum2SweetCs]

Oh no.

I thought that would have regulated me to O between 11 and 19 dun think dh will be looking forward to it, neither would I

But must think of the positive!!

[Marley&Me]

You will usually O 5-9 days after you take your last tablet. I think i O'd 10-11 days after my last tab and that cycle was 35 days. I think your cycles start to regulate once to commence clomid, but that doesn't mean they will be 28 days. One lady i remember talking to said her cycles went from 45 days, 39days, 35days, 40days......and so on. So you never really know. But hey, it's better than 100+ days!

I think i am the same as you this cycle, took my last tablet last night CD7, FX for us!

[Mum2SweetCs]

oh yeh definitely FX for all of us ttc'ers !!! I have a blood test on the 11th Dec for the 23rd (had to do it early due to it being a sunday) day O test and seeing my FS on the 15th Nov, all to fit around her holidays!

When are you appointments?

[Marley&Me]

My blood test is to be done on the 11th Dec, it's a saturday morning, it's easier for me on a sat anyway. And my FS appointment is on the 13th Dec. Even if you haven't ovulated by the time you have your BT, if O is about to happen your results will still be high. Last cycle i had my BT on day 21, but i didn't ovulate until 22-23. My progesterone levels were at 13 (they have to be 20+ to show u have ovulated) but he said that if i wasn't ovulating it would have been very low like 2 or 3. Does that make sense?
Oh gosh, i didn't even think about FS holidays, i better check with him and see how long he will be closed!

[Mum2SweetCs]

Sweet same blood test day. My fs also works in three different offices so its so hard to get a hold of her!
