I have been TTC #2 for a little while and my OB has started me on 50mg of Clomid. Only going to do three cycles with it as DH has sluggish sperm and I'm not getting any younger! Will go to IUI if Clomid doesn't work I think.
This is my first round of Clomid. Cycle length is usually 23 days with an LH phase of around 9 days. This first cycle my O happened on day 16 instead of the usual 13 so not sure when I am "due" for AF. Would it be due closer to 28 days? Anyone?
Feeling very hormonal today so hopefully not about to get normal AF cycle of 23 as today is CD20. But boobs arenet sore and they would normally be killing me by now. Having my BT for progesterone tomorow to see if I did O.
This all seems a bit surreal. Didn't have any trouble conceiving DS - lots of trouble with keeping him in there and his heart didn't form properly so we have had a very stressful few years. Didn't expect to have trouble getting pregnant with #2!
How is everyone else doing? Where are you up to with your cycles? I am starting to go a bit mad with the TWW and I still have a whole week to go (hopefully if my cycle is longer).
Hi Rommy'sMummy...
This is my first cycle of Clomid @25mg and the only tracking of the proceedings is charting.. I think today was "O" day so really just slipping into the TWW.. DH and I have unexplained infertility and I had a Lap done on the 30th September.. Good luck to you and so sorry about the probs you had with your son...
Are you getting many symptoms from the Clomid? I am still nauseous and its CD24 for me today. I was really giddy and horridly hormonal during the first week or so after taking Clomid. No sign of AF yet...
Went for my blood test yesterday so get the results today. I really hate needles! As this is my first round of Clomid I am not sure what numbers to expect so will ask the midwife at the clinic to interpret them for me. Its funny isn't how many different ways our FS/OB's approach this? I am on 50mg after only a few months of TTC #2 with bloods to check if I have ovulated. I see from reading others posts in here that some are having u/s to check follicle size leading up to ov. I guess it depends on where you are up to in the process and what your individual situation is. I would quite like to have u/s next time if I haven't O'd this cycle - just to try and figure out what is going on (hopefully wont need to at all!).
One year 11 months is an awfully long time to have been TTC. I really feel for you and you will be blessed with a baby soon.

Hi Rommy'sMummy..
I haven't had any side effects from the Clomid that I have noticed.. So sorry that you're nauseous and Dizzy.. Not fun.. I had an appointment with my FS today and he checked my charting and said he was happy with how things were going and gave me a form for a CD21 blood test.. If he's happy after the results he'll leave as is for another 2 cycles after this and then it will be off to IVF for us... How were you blood test results.. I hope they were good.. Good luck hun and thanks for your support..

My first bloods came back at 64.8 progesterone. Had to ask what that meant of course . Seems anything over 30 means you have ovulated and there is some suggestion that a much higher reading could indicate more than one follicle released! As I am on 10x normal dose of Folate and am older and have a family history of twins AND on Clomid there is quite a good chance of more than one!
I am now at day 25 with no AF symptoms at all. Usual cycle is 24 days so hoping that I am either not going to get AF or that Clomid has worked to lengthen my cycle. As I O'd later with this cycle too I wont test until 14DPO which will be NEXT Monday!! That is such a long time to wait...
When is your BT due? Is it coming up soon? I am soooo bad with needles. My son has to have bloods taken very regularly and he is only four and better at it than me.
They say its the CD21 test but my OB made sure I did it 7DPO to be sure it was accurate which actually made it CD 23 for me this cycle.
Such a lot to get your head around isn't there with all this stuff? Glad to hear you are not suffering side effects. I am still really nauseous. But I think I am getting off lightly compared with others in here who seem to really suffer with mood swings or even depression. Horrid.
That's interesting about the progesterone level as mine was 69 for the first test I had done.. My BT is a CD21 test and on Monday.. I'm hoping the Nausea is maybe a PG symtom for you and no longer a side effect.. Good luck Monday... AF would be due for me on the 21st... Such a long wait too...
