Hi guys,
hope you've have a good long weekend (well you Aussies anyway, everyone else I just hope you're having a great normal length weekend!)
Welcome Nellie!- I really hope all goes well for you on Femera! Is that similar to clomid?
Julia- How did you go at the FS today?
Mez- I can't believe you are 9 weeks already! That's gone so fast. Hope the M/s isn't too bad.
Linda- I had bad headaches on clomid. They usually go away a day or so after you take the last tablet.
Hi Claudette,Saffy, OG hope life is good for you all!
G'day to floaters & KEli, Tamarra & Porshe hope you are all well

i have had a quiet weeked here.. spent lots of time at the park with the kids
Ahurani i havent noticed that kind of pain.
has any one noticed a correlation between hotflushes/definate clomid related side effects finishing and O?
i am day 17 so 8days since last clomid tablet, and still experienceing hotflushes... but not as many, so i was thinking maybe they will stop when i O?

Hi girls, hope everyone's long weekend has gone well.
Linda- I am on my 3rd month of 50mg, no real side effects the 1st 2 months, but this month they were bad, esp on saturday when I was running around at work- really lightheaded and dizzy and just felt weird, also hot flushes. I did have a headache last month really badly for a few days but it went with panadol. I think I will go ala natural next cycle. Hope your sideeffects finish now you aren't taking hte tablets, I think that is what happens.
Clamgee- its frustrating isn't it, I get really down about it too, nothing we can do except soldier on! Hope it stays sunny in scotland x
Nellym- welcome to the thread- I hope you arent here for very long!! Is femara the same as clomid?
Orki- how are you? Hope things are going well
Rhi CHiChi- good luck with your upcoming lap, maybe you won't need it??
All the girls who are UTD- hope all going well with you.
I am doing nightshift tonight- wish me luck with staying awake!

Thanks ladies, yes I hope I am not here too long either
Bec and Saf - yes clomid is similar to clomid. I believe though it is slightly different because it only produces one egg.
I will let you know how I go with any side effects.
Hope everyone had a good weekend and is ready to take on another week.

Hi Linda,
good luck with the ovulation tests, they are great I find as it gives you a better idea of whats going on. Glad the headache is gone. I am going to start my ovulation tests soon as I ovulate usually around day 11 or so, once I was day 9, so I have to get in early.
Hopefully we will both get good news in a few weeks!
I really really want this to work this month, it feels like I will never get pregnant.
Good luck to you!!
Registered User
Staffy thank you for the support.im hoping it works this month too.It does feel like forever trying to pregnant. I dont usually get a postive surge till about day 15 or 16.It all depends on when my body want to ovulate. Good luck to you too.Have a good day! think Happy thoughts!!

Whats the HTE tablets?,also i was wondering what that medicine is that everyone is taking called Metformin.I havent heared of that and my doctor just put me on Clomid and said i had a un explained infetility.. thanks Linda
Registered User
Hi linda
Im on metformin for two reasons, ive got high insulin and also to get my periods regular and to try and keep me regular. I started to take it in december 2008 i think and it worked for me i fell preg in feb 2009 . But after i m/c that one it keept me regular but no luck with falling preg again.
Hope this gives you some understanding, but im sure people are on it for different reasons.

Mez - I so hope the lap is the answer cos I am getting a bit frustrated!
Bec - I think I confused you?! (sorry) - I went last Monday to the FS & he booked me in for a lap on the 25th May. Don't need to go back and see him prior to the lap, probably just after to discuss his findings??
Ahurani - I get a weird like burning sensation in my lower abdomen leading up to/near O which I assume is related to Clomid?
OG - Unfortunately for me I still experience hot flushes, insomnia & headaches after O. I assume this would be because Clomid would still be in my system? - I have heard it can take two or so months for it to leave your system....
Linda - I think the dosage would relate to your side effects getting worse....
My GP thought I would need Metformin but a glucose test showed all was OK - I am not insulin resistant so it would be of no benefit for me to be on it. Usually if you are diagnosed with PCOS & are insulin resistant you would be prescribed Metformin.
Hello to Claudette, Saffy, Nelly, Tammara and anyone else I have missed/forgotten. x

Hi girls!
I'm not on metformin, but my understanding is that it's a treatment for high insulin caused by PCOS? My friend takes it for that anyway.
GL to those coming up to 'o'. I hope this month is your month!
Saffy-GL staying awake! Nellym- thanks for the info on Femera. Sounds positive with only one egg instead of a couple to focus on! Linda- I've not really notices much change in CM, but I know some poeple do.
Tammara- hope you are good and bubs is well. You must be 12 weeks?
AFM: I am officially posting a
BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I am 5 weeks and levels are good so it's a sticky one for now! Looks like the polypectomy did the trick and my uterus is fertile again. DH and I are super excited. Sorry I've been moping around a bit, I was very worried that this one wouldn't hold and you guys have been such a great support and positive vibe for me. Thank you all so much!
Well I'm off to dinner with my parents and sisters so I'll catch you soon,
Bec

Hello all
I am new to this thread and fairly new to BB. Just thought I would pop in and say a big Hi.
My DH and I have been TTC since May 07. We have had 2 M/C in that time
Last cycle I started on 50mg Clomid and 10000i.u Pregnyl but no luck. This cycle I started on 100mg Clomid and have to wait until Thurs to have a scan to see what Pregnyl to have (if there is any good follicles). I was so disappointed when AF came this cycle. I am now at CD9. I had a blood test on day 21 last cycle (progesterone) and it said 30.9. OB said he's prefer to see it around the 35 mark.
Fingers crossed for this cycle.
GL to all of you who have had BFP, that is great news. It gives you a bit more hope.
GL to all of you TTC also.

Hope-Welcome, I hope you love being on BB like i do, it is great to have so many supportive people around you. So sorry to hear you have had 2 losses, I really hope you ( and the rest of us) can move out of this thread rapidly and get a BFP under our belt ASAP! This is my second month of clomid and I have heard a lot of people have success with it, hope so for you xx
OG- your naughty left ovary! Oh well, who cares if it is hiding as long as it is still pumping out juicy eggs, best of luck for your blood test x
Linda- like the others said I think metformin is for insulin resistance and used mainly by people with PCOS. Hope those symptoms are under control x
RhiChiChi-hi hon, sorry you are feeling frustrated, hope you get answers soon x
Nelly-hope you get no side effects to talk about except those related to pregnancy!!
bec-we're right behind you, coming to be with you in your pregnancy thread!
Hi Clamgee, Tammara, Porsche, anyone else around xx
AFM- well it had to happen, the psycho came out in me last night, I knew it was only a matter of time. Whenever i am on hormonal meds ( like the pill) i always end up a crying mess after a few months, thought I was doing well with clomid but had a big meltdown last night over the fact I didn't cook potatos properly for tea- WTF who gives a sh*t! All i can say is poor DH, he never knows what to say. I hope it is a fleeting mood swing but have been v teary today ( am sleep deprived after nightshift tho). The things we go through!!!

Hello Saffy. Thanks for the warm welcome.
All the best for you also on your clomid and TTC journey.
Fingers crossed for all of us.
Registered User
sorry Rhi, I got a bit confused!
SAffy, I through our phone so often that I've broken 3 in the past year! And I cry at least once a week. Hormonal meds don't do it much for me either!
welcome hope, we all hope your long journey wll come to a lovely end soon.
thanks OG. My left ovary could never be found during scans without a very patient radiographer and a far bit of pain! It's still worked though, so maybe it's hiding some good news for you?
hi everyone else, chat soon,
Bec
