More clomid questions

[Maruschke]

Just wondering what kind of monitoring I should ask for on my first clomid round? Just CD21 bloods, or are ultrasounds really necessary?

I see my GP on Thursday which will be 9DPO, should I bother testing beforehand (probably a waste of a test) or will she do it (or ask me to wait, or do a BT on 15DPO etc?).

Last question... my chemist doesn't stock clomid, is it hard to get in normal chemists? They said they would order it in but it might take up to a week... if I don't fill the script until AF arrives that's cutting it fine for a CD5 start.

Is there anything I really need to ask my GP about before starting? I've never done clomid before.

DD1 took 12 months of constant charting and OPK's and preseed and sex almost every day blah blah blah... we have casually not tried not to fall pregnant for 6 months now and this is the first month of serious timed trying, GP is happy to put me on clomid because of the crazy number of anovulatory cycles I have had lately.

Thank you lovely ladies

Hi hun

I only had the day 23 bloods. He only did it the first month saw I didn't ovulate. Then the next month upped to 100mg did The bloods and I ovulated. So that was the end he said come back in 3 months if your not pg

Oops and regarding pharmacy. The 2 I went to had it and one of them was really small. That's weird!

Good luck hun!

Thanks so much, perhaps I need to ask for bloods only (oh and go to a bigger chemist LOL). I don't want to go for US all the time. Is your little girl a BFP from a round of clomid?

Yeah the FS never ever mentioned an ultrasound to me at all. I dont think its that necessary. Yep I concieved on my 4th round but it was the 3rd round I had ovulated

Congrats After 1.5 years it was well deserved . FX we can do it in 3 or 4 rounds of clomid as well! I really hate TTC, I still have a bad attitude about it from DD1, I feel stupid that not even giving birth to a healthy daughter reversed some of what changed in me when conception didn't happen immediately as a healthy 20 something year old. Stupid huh? Oh well...
