Hi everyone,

Well my scan yesterday was not so good for me, at day 10 have 5 leading follicles (between 18 - 22mm) each so this cycle has been cancelled due to too high risk for excessive multiples. Am also having to spend next few days at home resting as I am showing signs of Hyperstimulation.

So now have to wait for O to occur for the Hyperstimulation to subside and then next cycle reduce Clomid back down to 25mg as it appears the 50mg did too much. If the 25mg next cycle doesn't work then will probably have to start on injections so the dosage can be managed better.

Kristen160 - I was the same as you having to take Primulot for 5 days to start my period for the first clomid cycle (due to not having a regular cycle). I take Clomid day 2 - 6, and in my first cycle of 25mg had scan at day 10 to see if clomid worked (no leading follicles), as nothing promising had another scan at day 14 (still no leading follicle). So O did not occur in first cycle and no period at day 28, I rang my clinic who advised to wait till day 35. Still nothing at day 35. Was told to wait until day 42 and if nothing to start Primulot again. Period started at day 40, so started Clomid day 2 - 6 @ 50mg. This is the cycle I am now in with the 50mg being too much. I was advised that the probable reason for the delayed period from cycle 1 was due to the lack of O and as my body doesn't have a regular cycle it is still trying to figure everything out. Fingers crossed this cycle it starts between days 28 - 35, so I can start again on the lower dose. I also had the mild cramping in my first cycle, but this appears to be not because of a leading follicle but because in cycle 1 I had around 30 small follicles grow. So the cramping was from the growth of too many small follicles. I have also had cramping pain this cycle and that is because now I have 5 enlarged follicles. If in doubt call your clinic and ask all the questions. I am probably lucky as my FS clinic are really supportive and I can call them anytime with questions.

teresep - fingers crossed for you that your Christmas wish comes true.
