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
