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...
Well she's back...AF arrived last night. Bugga. At least I now know that I did ovulate and that Clomid did extend my cycle length BUT my LH phase was only 10 days still - not long enough!
My DH going into Repromed again today to repeat the SA as the last test (our first one) showed really bad results. Hoping that next week we will get better results and that the last one may only have been a dodgy batch rather than a big problem. If we do have a problem with the sperm I want to go to IUI with sperm washing so that we can reduce the numbers of abnormal sperm. I worry about birth defects - seeing as our DS has very significant heart abnormalities...
I only took Clomid for that one cycle - we are now about to try our first IVF/ICSI cycle at the end of Jan.
I found the Clomid did the trick with increasing my O as my progesterone response was very strong, however I did turn into a bit of crazy woman! I was only on 50mg too!
It was a bit daunting waiting for the symptoms to sart and not really knowing how i would respond. I think the worst part for me was the nausea. That came a few days into taking the pills (took them at night as others had suggested that will decrease sideeffects) and continued untill after my AF arrived. Also AF arrived a bit late (playing tricks with my mind) and was shorter, lifhter flow and very dark in colour and could actually have been a heavy implantation bleed or light AF. Like I said, playing with my mind.
Hope you find others to be Clomid cycle buddies with you!
waiting...waiting
