Clomid - TTC

[LisAnn]

Hi ladies,
I just wanted to ask, today I took my very first clomid tablet and was wondering if yous know if there is very much success rate of falling preg. on your very first cycle??

Hi LisAnn

I am about to start with the Clomid, i would love to know how you go with it. If you have side effects or even better get pregnant.

Good Luck

Hi LisAnn,
I have just found out this morning that I am pregnant. I used clomid this cycle and it has worked first time! I also have PCOS and endometriosis.
Good luck

There is a ttc/clomid thread where you can speak to other people currently taking clomid. When I joined one of the girls fell pg on her first cycle after trying for about 2 years I think. I fell pg on my second cycle and after 2 years of trying for a successful pregnancy I finally got a sticky one. I didn't get many side effects, just slight nausea on the last day & slight headaches. Good luck and I hope it works for you.

Hi Ladies,
Thank you soo much for your replies, they have given me faith that i might still not have to wait too long! And congrats to erybery, that is awesome news!
I have just, what I think, hit ovulation?? (doesnt ever happen obviously due to pcos)... but i had sore boobs for the first time ever and wierd feelings in my belly...
Not sure though if we 'tried' at the right time, but im glad I can feel the effects of the tablets at work. I guess its just fingers crossed from now on!
Tammara let me know how you go. I had no horrible side effects at all which is great!
Thanks again,
Lisa x x

Hi,

I have used Clomid (also known as Serophene) for my PCOS. It took 3 goes before I ovulated, with an increase in dose each time. They generally start you out on 50-100 mg, and then bump it up if necessary, with 200mg being the highest dose.

On average, the percentage of women who ovulate using Clomid is very high, in some cases over 85%. The percentage of women who fall pregnant is obviously less than that, but can be as high as 60% of those who ovulated. It's important to know three things though:
1. Clomid is used for a maximum of 6 "cycles" only. If you don't ovulate on this, other medications will be tried.
2. In about 30% of cases, Clomid causes "hostile cervical mucus" which is actually toxic to sperm. As far as I know there is nothing you can do to stop this, but I use a sperm friendly lubricant called Pre-seed (available at Lullaby Conceptions online) just in case.
3. Clomid can have side effects such as bloating, fluid retention and moodiness. My specialist, when I complained about these symptoms, replied "Good- it means it's working!". However if you get serious swelling or weight gain over a few days go to hospital asap as your ovaries have been "hyper stimulated".

I actually got pregnant from Clomid the first time I ovulated - unfortunately I'm now waiting to miscarry (HcG levels no longer doubling at 6 weeks). As far as I know this has nothing to do with the Clomid though.

I wish you the best of luck, and hope this helps.
Faith

Hi there, I am new at this... I am about to take clomid again. I had really bad side effects last time. I am going to take it at night like others have suggested. This will be my forth go at clomid after a two year break. wish me luck!!:

Hi,

I have been taking 50mg clomid for three cycles now and still no luck. I am doing acupuncture and am on 850mg of Metformin for my PCOS. With my Clomid I have been getting severe depression which makes me want to choke something, or sink into a black hole of nothingness. I am slightly overweight, feel tired all the time, and have a cycle that is all over the place. We have been trying for 2 years and am seriously over being let down, once again. I have watched friends fall pregnant and give birth over and over, and am the 'babysitter' of everyone else's miracles. At this point I am wondering, what is after Clomid? I have a perfectly fine Uterus, my eggs are okay, it's just that my ovaries refuse to release them. Do i do IUI? Is there a final step i can jump to?

Please let me achieve my life-long dream of being a mother!!!!!

I took half a 50g tablet of clomid and got pregnant with twins.. lost one and now have DD 6 months. I LOVE CLOMID!

Hi
I'm in a similar position. I was put on clomid 2 weeks ago- not yet up to blood test but I was supposed to O last Sunday and we only baby danced once since my fiance struggled with the presure as the process is making me so upset. I don't think I ovulated- I did a HPT last night and it was negative- broke my heart as it does every time, I spiral into depression.

I am worried nothing will work. I have PCOS and two years ago when I was with another man I had an abortion as I was advised to by everyone I knew (apprently being at university makes me an unfit mother) and didn't know at the time how hard it would have been for me to conceive. I have an incling that you need to be on the pill a few months then miss a week or so to be fertile- anyone had this?

I'm so stressed and upset at making the mistake of having an abortion and now being able to have a child with my fiance- while his children constantly remind me I am not their mother too hanging over my head.

I'm loosing my patience and I just want my body to work the way its supposed to.

hi ladies,
i am new to this , i have read all ur activities with clomid n sucess. can any body tell me what is TTC

[Ellieanna]

trying to conceive from what I gather

I'm confused about the luteal phase- can we conceive during this phase- how can we test it for ourselves?

[M22]

Xpress- ellie is right to this forum for all the abvs https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-acronyms.html

ellie- lutuel phase is after you ovulate till your period comes. so the average is 14-16 days, it can vary - eg mine is 19!! just join in - were all very friendly
and join this thread https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...#post1641367s- heaps of like minded girls going thru TTC with clomid.

I too have a clomid bub! After 2 years of trying with PCOS, my first cycle taking it day 5-9 i fell pregnant! CLOMID is fantastic! so worth the uncomfortable symptoms that come with it.

GOOD LUCK!!!
