Hi All
MUM2JADEN have you had any investigations into the spotting, like a Hy Co Sy or Hysteroscopy. One Ultrasonogher I had one time when I was having an Ultrasound, asked me if I had spotting before I had my AF and he said sometimes things like fibriods can cause this to happen. If you haven't had any investigations I would probably start asking for some.
Hi Twinkie. I have just done my second round of Clomid and I didn't get any signs of ovulation like I did when I wasn't taking the Clomid. But as you answered me earlier my Progesterone BT results were 26 and he said that I did O but not very strongly. So who knows what this Clomid will do but hopefully you will get your BFP soon.

Good morning! Hope you don't mind if I join in? I just signed up for this group and have been dealing with our struggles alone. I'm on my third month of chlomid. 1st month 50mg chlomid and 2nd & 3rd month 100mg chlomid. I am 8 dpo and waiting for my progesterone levels :doh:. My last levels were 12.4, is this good or bad?
-
Welcome to the thread Hopefull, i must say that we've never had a progesterone level done after any of our IUI's... i think with the ultrasounds and HCG trigger shot we get its not so important, do you guys track ovulation by ultrasound or bloods before ovulation? Do you trigger with HCG to ensure you ovulate?

Hi all.... well 2 BFN's so far... on 25mg... he's decided my rise is too slow, progesteone too low, and put me on 50mg CD2-6... I'm really worried about OHSS, since I ovulated quite well on 25mg... But as yet, no symptoms except a hot flush abou an hour after I take the Clomid. Which is fine, I can deal with that lol!
Hopefull: I've heard that progesterone levels should be above 10-15ng/ml in the luteal phase. So you've probably been put on a higher Clomid dose to help the levels and the rise (I think thats why I have).
-
Just updating that AF found me and I'm onto round two of clomid today. I'm glad to be on my second round, to tell you the truth, as at least now I know how my body reacts to the clomid! Best of luck to those testing soon!

Good Luck on round two Twinkie!!

Hi all, I hope you don't mind if I join in your group.
quick story about me....
I have one son who was conceived via IVF after attempting absolutely everything else. I have PCOS and don't have a regular cycle.
I am on metformin constantly and dr has given me clomid. I took it 2 cycles ago and nothing happened. So I am considering taking it again this cycle.
He has suggested 50mg days 4 to 9. What do all you ladies who take clomid do? Similar??

Hi belmarks :hello:
I'm on my 2nd cycle of Clomid now. 1st cycle I O'd on CD29 but this cycle on CD16 :dance: Each cycle I have taken Clomid CD2-6 then had a BT and gone from there. This cycle I took 50mg CD2-6 then had a BT CD10. Then I took 50mg from CD10-12. I then had a BT on CD14 and an U/S and trigger on CD15.
From my experience and what I understand you really need to be closely monitored. I have PCO and my FS has told me that Clomid might work one cycle at a particular dose and then not the next. Basically my FS gets me started each cycle, monitors me and I keep taking Clomid until I O.
:crossfingers: I won't need another cycle but if I do I'm sure the regime will be different again.
Good luck :goodluck:

OMG I have read so many of these and everyone is mentioning Clomid??? what is that...
i was on Synarel, Gonarel, Pregnyl and now the delightful gel i have to insert each night called Crinone.......are all those other ones the same but different names???

Hi everyone it sure has been a long time since I was here***update***
I'm on my 5th round of clomid 2nd at 150mg and let me say the hotflashes are the worse!
I've only O'd one time and that was in July so here I am in Oct. waiting as we speak to O using clomid. Not too sure if it will work or not. Have had EWCM for the last three days but no positive opk. Just got done doing the deed in case something happens.
I wish you all luck with the clomid it just doesn't seem to be the med for me. The doctor talked to me about injectables...does anyone know about these and how they work and how much money they would cost? Just putting myself in a bad mood...it has been a year since I've been TTC!!! It was a year on 8/31/07 that I had my TR. Please say my dream isn't over yet!
Love to all and lots of babydust too...just throw some my way please!

Hi, hope you all don't mind me joining this thread. I've been lurking around mainly in TTC after M/C but I think it's time for me to lurk here... I conceived 1st cycle of clomid (50mg), M/c at 11wks:( and now TTC again. My FS induced AF and I started on 50mg cd 5-9 BUT nothing happening. Unfortunately I've put on some kgs (post m/c comfort food) I reckon this is why I didn't respond. I'm now working hard at losing some weight, but should I increase the dose next cycle or wait. I don't want to end up with too many eggies ready to be released if I've lost some weight in that time. Any ideas anyone:confused:??
Sending :bluedust: to everyone

Hi all,
Just wanted to come in and say hi.
I have been on other forums within BB and decided that this is probably the best one for me.
I am on my first month of clomid (25mg). I seem to be ovulating, but I am spotting way to early before my AF is due. I am also on Metformin for about 6 months.
The Dr decided to give my a low dosage of Clomid to try and rectify this.
Has anybody else had clomid to try and rectify early spotting????

Hi and a big welcome to Syran and Nellsbells, this thread has been pretty quiet lately, so glad to have you here. There is no news from me because we are still on a TTC break until January, but can probably let you know what to expect from Clomid and IUI's, thats about it. Dont have PCOS so dont know much about that either, but can sympathise and be a cheerleader for you guys on your journey!!
Syran with the spotting and clomid, i would think that your dr is trying to get you to have a longer leutal phase before spotting (14 days would be good) and the clomid makes a better corpus leutum, so a stronger ovulation all round, plus a higher progesterone level, to help with the leutal phase.

Hi, another wanting to join in if possible :) I'm Megs, currently TTC #2, I have PCOS and I'm currently in 2WW after first round of Clomid (50mg days 5-9). My DS was conceived second cycle of Clomid last year. Clomid this time made me go completely nutty, I became paranoid and was terrified to be in my own home after DH had left for work, so I'm dreading another cycle!
-
Hi everyone, I'm on day 28 of first month of 50mg clomid but spotting so have given up hope and the pms has been completely insane, crying at the drop of a hat, starting to cramp, hating being on the whole TTC train again even though I am eternally grateful for the DD and it does make TTC a little easier this time, I have would love her to have a sibling.
Anyone else going OUT OF THEIR MIND with clomid pms? You Muggins?!

Hi all.... well the 50mg did nothing for me... strangely.... I ovulated both times on 25mg, but my body is being stupid and I didn't ovulate on 50mg and the follicle is now a cyst... Am about to start my 4th round of Clomid, 50mg again, and if this one doesn't work then hopefully the dr will try injectables as I've heard they are a lot better.
I get really paranoid on the Clomid, and the hot flashes, and the 5-day long headaches... but if thats what its going to take...!

Emmalina I'm about 8DPO and my husband is seriously copping it! My fuse is insanely short!!
Alisia good luck with round 4!
-
Hey Alisia, what does it mean if you get a cyst? Does it just go away by itself? How long does it take? Does it interfere with your next cycle? Is it painful?
I've never done clomid on its own before and my ob has put me on it - not seeing ivf dr til late Nov. Ob wasn't particularly expansive in his explanation of the possible side effects so I know a cyst can happen but don't know what he means.
Oh yeah and muggins he said I'd be a b**ch before my period but didn't tell me that I'd be a teary volatile basketcase who keeps messing up at work because she can't think straight!
