Hey Bella I have had no side effects from it yet soo maybe this means it isn't working for me again?? I hope you get your BFP this cycle
Lou Lou - the injections are a folicle stimulating hormone that get you to ovulate it has to be monitored very closely as you can get OHSS so when you see sixtuplets etc they are from the injections generally as my FS told me because with IVF they don't put that many in there

MissK - 6 babies?! Wow, I can't even begin to imagine.... My FS said that everyone reacts to clomid in a different way. Some people don't notice a difference where as others end up suffering very badly with mood swings and even depression so they have to come off it.

Yeah I was expecting some kind of side effect I thought the 3 a day would have done something atleast? The only thing I was told to be aware of was that it can produce fluid around the heart and the lung which scared me a little last time I had taken it I have never heard of that and it wasn't in the pamphlat either!
Yes 6 babies could you imagine it lol!!! There is a show on foxtel called john and kate plus 8 they have 6 2year olds and 2 6year olds and they seem to cope really well i couldn't do it

Miss K / LouLou - glad to hear you both are doing ok on this round of clomid - I really didn't have any side effects really - i was so worried - your right though apparently some people react bably on it others are ok.
Jon and Kate + 8 - is a great show - i'm a little addicted to all those shows on the health channel - the quintuplets one is great also.
I'm really hoping i won't need the injections because apparently my specialist won't allow / doesn't agree with timed sex during injections and therefore you have to have the sperm inserted after being washed etc - so DH really doesn't want it to get to that! If this isn't our month then next month i'm going to temp and try to be really healthy and give it a really good go - hey do either of your DH take zinc tablets?? Do you think they work?? Is there anything else we can do (i'm already on folic acid and having accupuncture!)??

Bella - thats strange that your FS doen't believe in timed BD mine hasn't mentioned that at this stage that is weird!!!! I haven't got him on zinc tablets but I am thinking about putting him on them now you mention it hehe!!! I think you have pulled all the right stops so far lets hope this clomid works for you

I don't know that for 100% sure - someone else in here (can't remember who!!) has the same FS as me and told me that? My FS has only breifly mentioned that we will move onto injections but he said "hopefully that won't be neccessary - we will cross that bridge IF we have to!!"
xxBella (lets hope we don't have to cross any more bridges !!)

Hello everyone, sorry been a bit busy, but yes Bella I'm at 5DPO, and not tearing hair yet, although frustrated cos after bragging last week about how I've not had a cold or a cough for over 2 years....something started yesterday at lunchtime and by the time I finished work at 1.30am, I was rough. Called in sick for tonight, but it's sore throat, ears, jaw/teeth and body aches with a muzzy head.
Does anyone know if being sick can affect what may hopefullybe happening 'in there' during this 2ww??
Ironically I've never taken so many vitamins or eaten so healthily as I have done in recent months!!!
In addition, my DH has been on zinc tablets for months and has recently upped his intake after reading a fertility book. We both get acupuncture (although only mine's been for fertility) and my acupuncturist has given my fish oil tablets to take and when I finish my Blackwells folic acid tablets she's going to give me some that are 'stronger'.
By the way did anyone see on the news the lady in Darwin who just had a healthy baby that was actually an ectopic pregnancy???? Noone knew till they went to do a c-section....thought they'd see it on ultrasound, but gives hope to us all.
This month I started charting temp also on FF. Fantastic website, and between that, and OPKs and my HSG this month I've tried to be as positive as possible.
