LTTTC and Taking Clomid/Metformin # 8

[Joeve]

MD oh hugs that sounds very frustrating!
I am ok just really hot and a bit headachy which may or may not be clomid related! I think the 100mg has ramped up my side effects but they are still really minimal and no where near as bad as I expected. First bt today have to wait til Monday for results so just dtd anyway...

Hi!

I am Vicki - 27- mumma to a little man who is turning 4 on Sunday.

I have been on Metformin on and off for 5 years, when I was first prescribed I lost 10 kg in about 10 weeks and was very ill - and actually turned out I was pregnant Started back on Metformin about 12 mnths ago = only taking 500mg of the prescribed 1500mg I was suppose to take. I am slowly building up and I think I'm at about 750-1000mg atm.

I have PCOS and Insulin Resistance. I started on Provera in Dec after having LLETZ done in early Nov - was unknowingly 6-8wk UTD at the time - suffered a m/c on the 2/12/11.

Started Clomid this cycle - on 50mg taking from days 4-8 inc. Am currently on cd12. Have to go for BT on cd21.

I've lost 8 kg since the middle of Jan (not that you can notice it IMO) and hoping this will help get things into working order.

Hello everyone,

I'm new....looking to get some advice???

I'm 25 year old lady, no kids, I have PCOS and endo, I had an ectopic pregnancy in November 2011 which I naturally miscarried from. My husband and I have been ttc since August 2011.

I've just started Metformin - about a week now.

I don't know where I'm at in my cycle - it's as long as it wants and is no way predictable.

Even if you can't help, would be great to have a chat.

Hey ladies, I hope that I'm posting in the right thread/section of the forum...

My DH and I have been TTC for 20 months (I'm not sure what is considered LTCCer but I would think anything over 1 year with no success?

After my GP gave me a referral to see the Gyn/OB clinic at John Hunter Hospital I have had blood test, pelvic US and my DH had semen test. We got our results yesterday and the doctor said my bloods and US were normal. He said that he could see very small cysts but as the bloods came back that there was no sign of PCOS he doesn't think I should be concerned about them. My DH test was normal too so the doctor thinks that the problem is just that I'm not ovulating properly.

He has given me a prescription for Primolut N (10mg) and Clomid (50mg). So I'm on my second day of Primolut and hoping that it works properly and forces AF so I can start my first course of Clomid sometime next week.

I've read so many horror stories of Clomid and find it difficult to find anyone that has anything good to say about Clomid. I am hoping that you lovely ladies can shed some light of what is it REALLY like to use Clomid. I understand this is never guaranteed that it will assist in a pregnancy but I would love to hear some real stories and what I should expect when I start using the Clomid. Will I start feeling the side effects immediately or does it take a few days? Should I be worried?

Any advice, tips and stories would be greatly appreciated
