    Hey Rommy'sMummy..

    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...

    How are you going?

    Hi Erybery,

    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!

    Wishing you every sucess!
