    Hi all,

    I am new to the forums.
    I have two children from a previous relationship aged 11 and 8 that I conceived very easily and then raised on my own until I met my DH in 2003.
    We started TTC in Dec 04 and were married in April 05.
    I am 30 and my DH is 34. We have had numerous tests, etc, but have not been given a reason for why we have been unable to conceive, I have been started on Clomid 50mg for CD 5-9 and after ovulating on my first cycle I am about to embark on my second clomid cycle and would like to be able to share my feelings with people going through similar experiences.

    Look forward to getting to know you all and sharing all the ups and downs of TTC.

    Hi ATryingTime,
    WElcome!
    Sorry to hear you are having troubles with TTC
    I find the most frustrating thing about taking Clomid to be the waiting and not being in control. I am used to organising and planning everything and this whole TTC, Clomid, Provera rollercoaster is just a "wait and see" adventure!
    Did you have any side effects when you took Clomid? I had some period type pain for about 2 weeks and minor hot flushes but that was it.

    Hi Sam,

    Thanks for the welcome.
    Wow the symptoms you are describing are exactly like I experienced. The pain I had was stronger than my usual period pain though and then when AF did arrive those cramps were also stronger than usual. The hot flushes have been continuous and I was also grumpier than usual, but that could just be a TTC side effect and not a Clomid one. I am currently on CD 3 so I am about to start the whole rollercoaster ride again at the same dosage. Sorry to hear that you are going though a tough time also , but glad that we may be able to share our thoughts and feelings during this time.
