TTC & Taking Clomid &/0r Metformin ~ July - Oct 2007

[theresep]

Hi ladies, have been popping in and out of this thread over the last week. I'm on my first clomid cycle, 50mg days 5 - 9, and i def. felt not myself for a few days - although have had other stresses on my plate also... started a new job, had a skin cancer removed (then passed out!), left my job after 3 days due to another staff member constantly reprimanding me, which i thought was totally unprofessional..... so you could say i'm ready for things to start looking up!!
today is cd 13, so will be interesting to see when i ovulate - if there will be any changes due to the clomid?. I have a very regular cycle, i'm pretty certain i ovulate every month (going by my temps), and always around day 15...... so i'll be dragging DH to the bedroom over the next few days and fingers crossed! Having some acupuncture this afternoon, so maybe the two combined will help us out.
Best wishes to you all, and lets hope for some BFP's.

Hi Bel,

I'm on 50mg, day 9 today so last dose tonight. Honestly, the headache is unbelievable and it's not going away. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac so thank god it's the last dose hopefully the headache will go away in a couple of days and I can stop thinking I've got a brain tumour.

Am following the depression discussion with interest, I was lucky enough not to have PND (not that I wasn't a bit 'wobbly' in the first month) and it's been over ten years since I was last medicated for depression, but I've got to say, last month's Clomid cycle felt like I was going right back there, and beyond. So I can see why you would be worried about it if you are currently struggling with depression.

My strategy this month is to use some of my annual leave for days 24 - 29 of my cycle so that at the very least I can go insane at home instead of at work!

Hi Ladies,

Thought I'd quickly post. AF is due this weekend and I am currently 7dpo - and I just got a (very very) faint positive. Keeping in mind it is 4pm, so I didn't use FMU - but I am keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow morning when I test again!

Hoping and praying this is it, I had a shower this afternoon and got out and the veins on my BBs had darkened considerably in 20 minutes?? Hoping this all isn't just in my head
