Just a reminder to all: all LTers love seeing a fellow LTer achieve that longed-for BFP, and we all find hope in one of our own having success in this difficult journey.

Please do not post baby/child/pg tickers or pg related signatures (eg blinking BFP icons) etc in this forum out of respect for them.
As it's easy to forget to remove your ticker, please be advised that we will remove it for you if it's posted in here. Just easier, is all.

Hi all, has anyone had any success on their recent clomid adventures????? im on my 2nd round of clomid so fingers crossed!!! had a VERY down night last night and trying to feel brighter and more positive about it today! hope you are all travelling well on your journey and hoping for some BFP's in here soon!!!
I'm onto round 5 of clomid. I had a scan yesterday and there are 5 follicles - 3 one side and 2 the other. Yay!
It looks like we're going to go down the IVF route for the purpose of speed as I have to go back on non baby friendly medication for my arthritis very soon (I was only given a year off them). Boo
Ah well, we'll see what happens. I'm a bit down about it all and am now questioning whether to just stop TTC. I don't know. Grrr.
Good luck you all - I hope there are some BFPs here soon
Lou Lou well fingers crossed for you too that it all happens this time round so you dont have to think about quitting TTC! i cant believe how hard this all is and its only my 2nd go of clomid!! but it sure as hell is such a difficult and depressing time!!!! aghh i hate feeling negative as im sure we all do, but why cant it just be easy????
Dotty - i'm with you- i'm finding things really hard to cope with this last month - it's so hard when everyone around me seems to be announcing that they are UTD! Three people at my work in the past week have announced
LouLou - Well done with the scan lets hope this is your - no ALL OF OUR months!
Well AFM - I'm on third round of clomid think i may hav O yest or day before but not sure. We saw the FS on Mon - If no luck this cycle we are moving onto injections and IUI . i INJECT DAYS 2-6 THEN bt AND SCAN THEN PROBABLY AT LEAST 2-3 DAYS MORE INJECTIONS THEN TRIGGER THEN iui THEN PROGESTERONE PESSARIES DAY 4 POST iui then hopefully BFP!! (sorry about the capitals bt can't be bothered re-typing!!!)
I'm upset and frustrated - we are sooooo hard this last clomid cycle ends with a BFP but i'm not getting to excited just yet. DH is finding things hard also - we have decided if the IUI doesn't work we will only do it once then take a break.
Anyway enough about me - hope everyone is doing well.
Bring on the BFP !!!!! We need them!!!!!
Sending out lots of and for everyone

(Currently on night shift if your wondering why i'm on BB at 130 in the morning!!)
Bella and Dotty I am totally with you! It is so hard at the moment and it seems like everywhere you turn there is another person UTD. I've had 2 family members and 3 work collegues in the past few weeks. I mean I am happy for them but when is it my turn!!!
LouLou Five healthy follicles - sounds great! Fingers crossed that this month is the charm for you so you don't have to tackle IVF.
Everyone seems quite down and depressed with this whole TTC saga at the moment. We need a rush of BFP's to give us hope!
COME OF GIRLS WE CAN DO IT!!!
AFM - Well today is my last day taking my first round of Clomid. So fingers crossed that in 5-9 days we will have a healthy eggie on its way to fertilisation
I haev had a bout of tonsilitis as well so had to take antibiotics as well so not sure if that will affect the Clomid or not. Time (& BT ) will tell!
sending lots of support and bucketloads of to everyone in BB land.
Hello I am new to this and I am so lost..LOL.. I hope I am where I am suppose to be.. I want to start of by saying congrats to everyone who has conceived and I pray that you all have a happy and healthy pregnancy. Well, I am here because I have been diagnosed with PCOS and trying to conceive for two years. I was prescribed Metformin which caused major hair loss. I have not tried Clomid yet but I am thinking about trying Vitex. any suggestion? Which is better to take or should I take both? Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Can I please join this thread. Am on 3rd cycle of clomid 150mg and am 4 dpo (I think) in saying that ovulation was on day 28!!!! Next cycle I will be starting injections.
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...
Any one want to be my buddy? Iam TTC and will be taking clomid for the first time in 2 days. If anyone is in a situation like mine and would like to chat, let me know!
I am taking a break this cycle but I am normally on clomid only takign a break as we were on holidays when AF arrived and I didn't have script with me and well couldn't be stuffed trying to get it faxed to me
hi erybery. Can I be your buddy? We're kinda going through the same thing at the same time: I have endo any maybe PCOS and it's my first month on clomid too. I didn't have any hot flushes or headaches though, I was just extra, extra moody and had sore/twingey ovaries while on the clomid. I O'd on CD15, nice and early and am 11 DPO now :-) keeping my fingers firmly crossed.
Good luck with the Clomid! I hope you don't have too many nasty side effects.

Hey Bonnie,
I'd love to be your buddy! I am only on day 5 of my cycle so still taking the clomid tablets at the moment. I ont think ive had any side effects. Ive been taking them just before I go to bed as Ive read that helps with missing the side effects, although I woke up really hot the first night so maybe it was a hot flush???
Can I ask why they think youve got PCOS? I had really long cycles, 76 days, then 60 then the next one I feel pregnant on what would hae been about a 28 day cycle and lost the baby, then after I had the D&C and waiting 10 weeks the gyn put me on the mini pill twice a day for 7 days to bing on AF which it finally arrived on monday!and not I take the clomid day 3-7 of this cycle!
Because of the endoI have been on the pill since I was 18 and I just skipped AF for months at a time so I wasnt in agony. I came off it the end of March and we have been TTC since then. After te really long cycles the doc did blood tests which showed high testosterone and other wacky hormone levels that indicated PCOS and then had an ultrasound that showed mulitiple follicles. So when they put it all together they said I most probably had PCOS even though Im not overweight or have Diabetes! Before I went on the pill Im sure i never had long cycles like now, its like PCOS has just decided to turn up in my twenties!
I really hope you get a BFP this month!!! I have to have a blood test on day 21 to check my progesterone to see if I have ovulated. How did you know you ovulated day 15?
