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.

We are in the TWW girls!!
The regime:
CD2-6 - 100mg Clomid
CD7-11 - 75iu Puregon (FSH Injectable)
CD12 AM - Scan & bloods (two follicles, no LH surge)
CD12 PM - Trigger HCG 5000iu
CD14 - IUI
CD17 - Booster HCG 3000iu
Its CD15 today. I may or may not have done an extra click on the puregon pen a couple of times (80iu) when no one was looking to see if she'd get an extra egg, my bad??
Well those extra couple of clicks of the Puregon pen worked!! Kim had two huge perfectly round follicles, one on each side. One was 21.3 and the other was 20.6.
Our doc apologized as she had a little bit of trauma to the cervix during the IUI this time. Never happened before. She lightly spotted on the day, but it stopped by that evening. Any how she was in agony before the IUI, sure sign of immenent ovulation, so we think we hit the nail on the head. With double the chances.
Kim mostly gets two follicles. But normally both on the same side so they aren't perfectly round and sort of squished up against each other. But the last time she had one on both sides she got pregnant!!! We think its a good omen anyhow. Now for the TWW. Thank you guys for all your crossed fingers and toes. We are pretty hopeful this time
