Now that I found this thread I wanted to introduce myself and say hi.
I started my first cycle of Clomid on Thursday, so pill number 3 is due tonight. I don't have PCOS but my FS has suggested clomid because my (first) monitored cycle showed no movement in my levels up to CD8. I know my ovulation has been all over the place - anywhere from CD6 to CD16 - so I am hoping that clomid might regulate that a bit. We're going to try this for a while - maybe 3 cycles before going back to IVF. Oh and I have pregnyl injections for post O as well. I'm not sure if I have noticed any side effect yet, but I am worried about the possible weight gain - I already need to lose about 6kg - the last thing I need is to gain more weight!
Hannah: Welcome to the thread. I know what you mean about being cranky. I was so emotional on my first cycle of clomid. I had a breakdown tears and all over the dishes (yes the dishes) , i now can laugh about it though and hot flushes, I got them alot. But like Porsche said they don't last for long thankfully. I think that it is quite strange though my second cycle of clomid I had no side affects at all, which I thought it was going to be the opposite way since the dosage was doubled.
Chez67: Welcome this is a great thread to be on. I know what you mean about the possible weight gain, especially when you are trying to loose the weight, its a bit of a catch 22. Best of luck though with ttc.
AFM: I'm now half way through my 2ww and now have a cold But on a happier note I became and Aunty again during the week, my wonderful sister gave birth to her first child a beautiful little boy. Which keeps me thinking positive thoughts as she concieved him through assisted conception. I just keep thinking positively and know our day will come when we will be holding our little bundle.
Hi girls!
Welcome Chez! I hope clomid does the trick for you. Like many girls in here I have PCOS, but clomid has helped regulate my cycle. I've gone from no o to o'ing on CD21 ish. Not great but better than nothing! It sounds like you've had quite a journey to this point and I really hope you get your BFP soon. I didn't find the weight gain too bad untill I'd been on clomid for almost a year, so 3 months should be ok.
epayne- bugger about the cold! I've finally gotten over my tonsilitis, it's just another thing to worry about, hey? Exciting news about being an aunty again, especially when it was a bit of a journey for your sister too byu the sound of it. I've been to the births of both my sisters babies births and it is amazing! GL 2WWing!
Porsche- started clomid yet hon? Any symptoms after a month off?
Rhi- good luck for the lap tomorrow. Hope all goes well, let us know how you go.
Hannahfroodoo- how's the clomid going? you travelling ok? the first month can be a bit hit and miss, I know my dosage had to be increased before I o'd and that's quite normal so don't worry. are you on 50mg?
Hi everyone else. We miss you! pop in and say hi.
AFM: 6 or 7 DPO I think and BB's are starting too hurt. I get that when AF is on the way too, so I'm not counting it as a pg sign. I don't think this cycle will be mine, since this is straight after my m/c and I'm not sure if the timing of BDing was quite right. But time will tell...
Bec: My fingers are crossed and I'm sending positive thoughts your way. I got my hopes up a few months ago as my BB's were more sore than usual and was due for AF, but it was just my hormones I guess.
Porsche: good luck for this cycle hopefully it will be your turn this one.
AFM: I am staring to feel much better today have rested for most of the day and went to bed early last night. Although I woke up this morning alone, as apparently I was snoring quite bad when my DH came to bed and so he decided to leave me be and sleep on the pull out sofa bed, Oops!!!
I don't know if it's becuase i had such a short AF cycle (only 4 days this cycle and quite light and last cycle was 7 days quite heavy) that this TWW seems to be taking forever to finish, that or I am just to eager this cycle to see what happened.
Sorry, I've been MIA, things get pretty hectic here sometimes. I get on here though and have a quick read through but don't actually get around to posting.
Hello and welcome to hannahfroodoo and Chez67.
RhiChiChi: GL for your lap today.
epayne: I get alot of lower back pain and abdominal pain while on clomid around O. The OPK's that I have brought said that you shouldn't use them while on medications (such as clomid) so I haven't given then a whirl as of yet but I notice that quiet a few other's on here use them. I haven't asked my OB about it though. I suppose it wouldn't hurt. In these situations I guess your prepared to give anything a go.
Bec: I get sore BB too when I am getting AF. The first round of Clomid though I took it as a sign of PG as they were really sore, I've now just come to realise that the Clomid worsen's the symptoms, lol.
AFM: Nothing new to tell. I have my cd12 scan on thursday so until than, nothing to report on. I acutually had my firt little melt down while on clomid the other day. Dont know if I should blame it on the clomid or just the stress of everything.
Did anyone watch Sunday Night last night. It had stuff on premature babies on there, I was in tears majorly. So sad, but so amazing at the same time.
