Yeah that would be nice! Don't test! At least not untill 10DPO. It must be costing you a fortune. I was just on eBay looking at some cheap ovulation predictor kits. Last time i used them they didn't work, but that was before i started clomid. So I'm thinking about maybe using them now.
I know you've probably heard it all before, but i reckon the best way to know is to pay attention to what your body is doing. There must be a sign that your body gives you every cycle. For me it's pains. And do you count back 14 days when Af arrives? that will give you a better idea of when ovulation occurred. HTH
I am on my second clomid cycle now, 50 mg CD2-6 with a scan and trigger on CD12. Last cycle was an early loss. Hoping for something stickier this time.
Rai: i haven't really discussed whats next with the specialist (but am seeing him beginning of feb), as clomid had worked for me before i was hoping not to have to go further than that but it doesn't look like it will go well this time. i hope af arrives for you soon so you can get onto clomid
tasha: what would be the next step after clomid ? how are you coping with the 2ww ?
mum2onesweetbun: try and hang in there til 10 dpo, i always say i won't test early but always cave, its so hard, hoping for a bfp for you !
maruschke: interesting that you have the scan and the trigger, is that common with clomid ? i have only ever been left to ovulate myself....
afm: im already having niggles in my ovaries after only one tablet, when do most people take clomid, im doing it day 4-8 but last cycle ovulated on day 24 !! so late in the cycle
Evening Ladies...
I have just taken my 4 Clomid pill for my first round I am cd 2-6..
Maruschke - When you say scan and trigger... Do you mean like a BT and ultrasound? My FS has me getting BT's cd 8, cd 12, and so on and so forth...with the odd ultrasound here and there.. Im so confused lol
minniemouse - I don't know much about all the other things to try, but I do know that they can increase the mg of clomid up to 100 and 150mg. Then there is trigger shot, I think it's a shot of hcg that makes the body ovulate if the clomid doesn't, but i'm not sure about that one. Then theres IUI and of course IVF. They say that you should ovulate 5-10 days after your last tablet of clomid, but i ovulate about 12 days after and i take it days 2-6. HTH
Hi everybody! I haven't posted in forever. TBH i haven't really been wanting to think about (or talk about) anything to do with ttc. It got to depressing. I am on cycle 3 of clomid and 9dpo. i have a little secret to tell hehe.
xox and baby dust to eveyone!!!
And yes, I get an internal ultrasound CD12 to check follie size, and an ovidrel (hcg) trigger so they know for sure when I ovulate. Last cycle I got 5 follies, 1 mature and 1 borderline, the rest too small.
Minniemouse - I was set to take clomid days 3-7, but this month I changed it to 2 - 6. I have had lots more niggles in the right ovary. Which is great as that's the side I need. I normally O around cd13 and have a long LP. Well wee what happens this time? I have no idea so really checking the signs. Gonna start the opk's tomorrow just incase.
rai - You amaze me! Right back there. I suppose you really didn't have a choice, but your strength and positivity is really showing through x
Yas - What's your secret?
Mollie - Try not to panic. Just listen to your FS for now. Let them do what they need to do to help you. 1 step at a time hun x
So CD9 and still feeling the effects. So hot last night the air con didn't even help. Great little twinges in the right side (come on follies!). Good luck ladies!
Hi everyone!
Looks like everyone is either just starting a cycle or just finishing one. Good luck to you all!!! Hope to see more BFPs in here soon.
Just a quick note to all
clomid is to grow the follies and sometimes is doesn't actually make the body ovulate, hence the ovidrel shot. It is quite common. My advice to all of you is INSIST ON BEING MONIOTRED CAREFULLY! Scans or BT on day 21 at the very least.
2nd: In between clomid and IUI is a drug called FSH (can be gonal f or purogen) and it's injectable but it does the same job as clomid only more direct. clomid works on the pituatary gland to make it produce the hormones to grow follies, and FSH works on the actual ovaries. It works the same, you do it at home and then have scans and the give you an ovidrel trigger to o when they are happy there is only 1 dominant follie.
Then after that IUI amd IVF.
I've found success with FSH after 3 m/c with clomid pg this round, and I only kept going with the clomid becasue I was scared of the needles! But they weren't bad! I just wanted to let you know that there are other options.
Good luck ladies, I hope your BFP is just around the corner!
I am not ttc for a couple more months but just wanted to ask a question to those of you who have had success with clomid before.
My DD was conceived with clomid 50mg as have PCOS and endo. The clomid worked first go! Does this mean that next time it should make me ovulate again or is it different everytime?
has anyone every heard of clomid helping to prevent miscarriage? a friend told me she is ovulating by herself but needs to take clomid or she will def miscarry as her progesterone is low? I am very scared of losing a baby again as the baby I lost was conceieved naturally.
girls thanks for all your responses to my questions, bec that is really interesting what you said !
erybery: i conceived on the first cycle with both my children but have since had 3 natural pregnancies that ended in miscarriage and haven't had any luck in the last 3 cycles of clomid. my specialist said clomid increases the chance of clomid, but im not sure why.....
afm: twiddling my thumbs here while waiting to get to ovulation, gosh i wish i ovulated on day 14 !! can someone tell me more about these soy tablets ? where you get them from, do you take them like clomid etc
I am actually considering NOT being monitored this cycle. Last cycle didn't work, and it's not like we got a massive number of mature follies. Wondering if I can just risk it for one month and roll the dice? After the hype of the flood and lots of deaths and a miscarriage, I really want a boring month. If I had a mature follies at CD12 last cycle, chances are it will be about similar timing this time, right?
