Mummytotwo - It will be my 5th cycle at 50mg. I was told I could do 6 though, but read that you should have a break after 3. I've gone past that already so....oh well!
DH insists on having the garden door open. It's humid and I am heating up!!! CLOMID!
For what it's worth, I am on my sixth cycle at the moment. My FS initially said do three then have a break to review, but I ended up doing another three *All 100mg. This is my last round. I had my IVF prelim appointments today and will probably start IVF/ICSI cycle on Australia Day -- or thereabouts!
All the reading I have done has said no more than 12 cycles total on clomid is safe as there may be an increased risk of ovarian cancer. I have also read in several places that if you dont fall pregnant in the first three cycles you are very unlikely to. Always exceptions though!
Thanks for the info ladies. I have taken clomid for 3 of my 4 pg's. With DS I fell pg on the 4th cycle, with DD the 1st, with my recent m/c the 1st cycle & now with this attempt I will be up to my 4th cycle!! Think I would be happy to go to 6 also. I am one of these people who is supposed to ovulate without it but I am convinced I need it as a boost or something. Why is it all so hard girls???? Good luck to all anyway x
mummytotwo - I have no idea why it's so hard...... I do wonder why I can't just have fun with it, but I suppose we just have to fight for what we want. Good luck hun x
i thought it about time i came in here and said hello
a quick bit about me....i have 2 children DD4 and DS2 (nearly 5 & 3), who were conceived with clomid and i have had 3 miscarriages - nov 2009, feb 2010, may 2010 which were all natural pregnancies. i decided to try clomid again as i never had a m/c when on that, i have done 3 cycles on it, first only got to day 23 before i had even ovulated, next 2 ended on 10 dpo. tonight i have just started my 4th round of clomid although im no longer hopeful it will work, im 37 and have pcos and numerous other health complications.
im not sure what we will do if this round doesn't work, im not sure my fertility specialist will give me anymore clomid
anyway thats probably enough for now, looking forward to getting to know you all
