Hi Kylie,
Welcome to the thread. Just wanted to give you a little bit of hope, even though your road sounds logner than mine! I concieved first cycle on clomid and got a bfp a few days ago. just hoping it sticks.
Best wishes and hoping you get your BFP soon!
hey girls,just wanted to boost your spirits and bring on some baby dust- iahve been there with you all and am no the mother of an 18m boy adn am due in june. both thry clomid/met due to pcos. ttc for 3 years
Hi Kylie...
I'll join you.. this is my 3rd round of Clomid 25mg... I'm in the TWW as well but because my thermometer battery went flat I have no idea what day I "o"ed.. I'm assuming I did cause i had 2 days of cramping but we'll see.. Have you had many symptoms and did you find them getting worse from one cycle to the next.. i have really felt like I went from no probs first time to cycle from hell.. Well good luck and maybe we can both get our BFP's this time round..
Dee
erybery & LSK - Thank you so much for giving us hope - everyone keeps saying 'it'll happen' but it makes you really believe it when you see it happen for people who have come from exactly where we are now
Hi Dee, thanks for joining me!
Have you had much luck with temping? I tried it but it didn't seem to work for me whereas OPK's do so I don't temp at all now.
As for symptoms and side effects, YES I suffer really bad but the wierdest thing is that Cycle 1 was o.k, Cycle 2 was hell, Cycle 3 was o.k and Cycle 4 was hell - I have an odds & evens thing happening LOL! This cycle has been hell but on the upside, it's the first time I've really felt myself O ... sure, it hurt like hell but it was nice all the same (made me feel like something was actually happening!).
Last cycle we discovered that the Clomid was eradicating my CM so this cycle we've used Robitussin & Preseed also. This cycle we discovered that my LMP is 16 days (thanks to OPK's), not 14 days as the GP said so I really do think that we're in with a chance this cycle - just a shame that it took 4 cycles to make these discoveries ugh!
It looks like we may be due for AF around the same time (I'm due 16th of Feb - 16dpo) so it would be awesome to get out of this thread together! Is this your last cycle on Clomid before IVF or are you going to keep batting on? Are you seeing a FS or monitoring yourself? Sorry,so many questions LOL
i found the same too clomid killed my cm- i used it each time and conviec each time. i also foun dif i took clomid at night it was better less side effects. i tooo felt myslef ovulate!!
Hi Kylie - I have been temping only as that's what my FS wanted me to do and I have not been able to follow the directions for OPK'S like doing it same time and not drinking etc.. i found that temping showed I would "O" CD14 or 15 but this time around my thermometer battery was getting low so it was showing the same temp for about 5 days in a row and by the time I realised it was too late to see a thermal shift... I had a Lap done in Sept and my FS gave me my prescription for Clomid said take half a tablet and take your temp.. He saw me at about cd12 on my first cycle and asked me to fax him my temp chart after "O" and then rang me after that and said keep doing this for 3 cycles and if it hasn't worked after that, it won't and we'll go straight to IVF... I had scarring, a little endo and some adhesions.. I've had no scans or anything else so just BD'ing when we need to... I've not had any probs with having CM but I reckon it was EWCM about CD13 but got ceramping on CD16 which I figured was late "O"pain.. So confusing.. Guess I will just have to wait... It would be awsome to escape this thread together.. I'm due on 14th... How romantic.. Maybe it will turn out to be the best valentines ever...
