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
minniemouse - WELCOME. Good Luck with clomid it sounds like you have had great success in the past hopefully it will work for you this round. Have you spoken to the fertillty specialist about what your going to do next? I have been on clomid all up with breaks in between 15 months but its just does not seem to be working for me i just had a m/c and that was a natural preg but the FS just put me on clomid again so like you no longer hopeful it will work. Wishing you Lots Of Luck with this round of clomiid FX'd it workes.
AFM - Just waiting for AF to arrive so i can start clomid again. WISHING EVERYONE LOTS OF BABY DUST AND STICKY VIBES
Welcome Minniemouse! Good luck with the clomid, theres heaps of other options if clomid doesn't work for you so hang in there
rai - Good on you for jumping back on the horse (so to speak) I have never m/c, but I am concerned because of my almost non-existent AF on clomid. I remember you said that you also have the same problem? I really hope it's sticky next time.
AFM - I'm just waiting it out. 5 DPO today. One of my best friends is due Valentines Day. I am excited for her, it's her first. But I Know i will have a tiny feeling of sadness in the back of my mind. It would just be so much easier if I knew that i was next!
Hello to everyone else and Good luck
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!
