Hi,
I like in Oklahoma right now. I took the clomid because I knew I was not ovulation and would go for 3-4 months at a time without having a period. I decided to skip the 50mg dose and went straight for 100mg. I wasn't taking anything else except Natural Progesterone Cream. I did not tell my doctor what I did but he looked pretty surprised at how I ended up with triplets being that he was delivered almost all the babies in my whole family! I took the clomid on days 3-7, ovulated on day 14 and started the Progesterone Cream right after ovulation. I was so scared to take a pregnancy test until I was almost six weeks pregnant, I took one on Aug.30 and got a strong positive. I had a doctors app. on Sept.7 and my doctor did an ultrasound after I begged with him to do so. He started counting the sacs, Baby A heartbeat is... Baby B... and Baby C.....and I almost passed out on the ultrasound table. From about 7 days after conception I had sore bb's. 2 weeks after conception I started having morning sickness really bad. And the smell of fish would make me gag. The dr said the babies are fine and all of my tests came back normal. But now I am in the High Risk category. These will be my first children. ↑

how do you use progestrone cream and where and can one buy it????or does that need to be precribed!!are they different types (not asking about label) or is there only one type (chemically) of this cream?thanks1 ↑
Name: sandiya | Date: Sep 12th, 2005 4:25 PM
You don't have to have a prescription to buy progesterone cream, I got mine from early pregnancy tests.com. Make sure it is the Natural Progesterone Cream its almost like a lotion. But you only use it AFTER OVULATION. Usually when you detect your surge using an OPK you will ovulate any where from 24-36 hours after the surge is detected.
I am currently 10w 2d. ↑

Sandiya congrats... if you don't mind could you please give me the steps you took, My periods are irregular and I'm trying to conceive, my periods come when they want to if at all I go to the doctor and they give me provera ... so how did you decide what time to take the clomid if you weren't haven't a period and how does the progesterone cream work and why did you have to use that do you rub it on your vagina, I'm sorry so many questions, I'm desperate, how do you tell when you ovualate, Please tell me exactly what you did step by step from the time you were trying to conceive, please Thank you ↑
Name: T | Date: Sep 13th, 2005 2:37 PM
I sorry Sandiya I forgot to ask you should I take provera before taking clomid so that I can get a cycle, and how did you get clomid with out a prescription and how much did it cost ↑
Name: sandiya | Date: Sep 13th, 2005 4:43 PM
Hi T,
I was told that if you are absolutely sure that you have not recently ovulated and become early on pregnant you can start the clomid without the provera. 1) I took provera 10mg for 7 days and five days after my last pill I got my period. Starting on day 3-7. I used OPK tests and got a surge on day 14, we BD and about 5-6 weeks later I got a BFP. Right after I was sure that I had ovulated ( about 48-72 hours after the surge I started the progesterone cream. It is just a cream that you can pretty much rub anywhere on you body, legs, ankles, arms, neck, hands and it is dissolved into you skin. In a "normal cycle" progesterone is produced at a certain level after ovulation, I think any number above 15 is good. ↑

My 25 year old daughter is pregnant with triplets. She had a fourth fetus but that died last week, She is about 8 weeks and 4 days pg, She did take clomid.there are her first babies, ↑

Congrats on your triplets!
However, clomid is a presciption medication for a reason - women can develop painful cysts, ovarian enlargement, and vision problems. I think it is very irresponsible of your to promote the fact that you took it without a prescription. It only encourages other women to do the same. Just my honest opinion. ↑
Name: Cheryl | Date: Oct 3rd, 2005 1:31 PM
I'm not anti-clomid at all. Infact, I conceived my first and third child on clomid 150mg and 50mg respectively. I experienced painful ovarian enlargement each time. My concern isn't with clomid - it is with taking clomid unprescribed and unmonitored. As an RN and a spouce of an ObGyn, I understand the risks associated with "self medicating" very well. ↑
Name: Karen | Date: Oct 3rd, 2005 1:38 PM
I support your point of view Cheryl. I took two cycles of clomid 150mg under the care of a Family Doc, and my ovaries were so enlarged they were almost touching. The pain was unbearable! I had to take 3 cycles off of ttc so they could heal.
Furthermore, some women get their medications online. This can be risky!
Here is what the FDA says about it:

hi. i just repeated the sarcastic comment of the lady before...where i assume she must have had it up to here with those people who judge us for taking clomid unprescribed..so i think you misunderstood me...i have started a new thread for those taking clomid in the hope of conceiving twins..so mainly unprescribed...and am hoping we can all share our experiences positively..with the good the bad and ugly that might happen and hopefully will not!!!!please don't hesitate to post on that thread!i am pro clomid...unprescribed...so i think you got me wrong...'yes..here we go again' was meant to cheryl and karen the last 2 posts before me' we all know the risk and don't need people ramming it down our throughts again and again...thats all...to everyone else on clomid unprescribed..good luck and lots and lost of baby dust to you all!! ↑
Name: Lisa | Date: Oct 3rd, 2005 6:19 PM
Okay, I have a sincere question.... why "promote" the fact that you take it unprescribed? Why can't you just state that you take clomid? I feel it is unethical do promote it.

Name: Christa | Date: Oct 3rd, 2005 7:25 PM
I agree - I think it is one thing to take unprescribed clomid. Those that do so - choose to do it at their own risk. However, I have a major issue with encouraging others to do it. It IS irresponsible.
Clearly her capital letters was purposeful bragging to promote taking the unprescribed medication. ↑
Name: mama-bean | Date: Oct 4th, 2005 12:04 AM
well, first, Congradualtions on your pregnancy, I hope all goes well... I must add, though, a LOT of people read these message boards, including young teenagers. Young ladies that think having a baby would be fun, or would bring their boyfriend closer, etc. By advertising that you are taking this medication unprescribed, you could be biving these girls ideas. They can get the stuff as easily as you can, and these children just won't understand the decision they are making. Please, we need to start taking responsability for our actions. By all means, do what you're gonna do... but don't brag about the illegal aspect of it, the unprescribed part, because people who may never have thought of doing this act may now be getting ideas, and these people aren't all mature adults. ↑

Name: Plu | Date: Oct 10th, 2005 1:36 AM
Hello all, congratulations on all the pregnancies, but I just want to say to yas2000 that taking clomid with the purpose to conceive multiples is a very risky idea; which is precisely why a physician would not ethically perscribe it. If you think I am typing nonsense then it may be a good idea to look at the literature on the risks to not only the mother, but more importantly to innocent children who often have long term disabilities. In fact many physicians debate over the ethics of helping to create children who may be born with serious/long term defects, and wish to do away with fertility treatments altogether. "First do no harm." Clomid is a medical treatment for infertile women wishing to concieve, please do not abuse it. ↑

Name: regulation | Date: Oct 28th, 2005 11:41 AM
This is quite obviously, a testament to the need for better regulation of prescription drugs. I never believed that a woman would knowingly risk her child's well being for her own selfish desires. If you are uncertain about the greatly increased risks and complications of multiple births, visit a twins and multiple boards. Ask them if they think you are making a good decision. You are naively romanticizing something very serious and dangerous.
I tend to think of myself as incredibly tolerant, but to risk the health of your infant -- no one should ever be toleratant of that kind of abuse. ↑
Name: mama-beans | Date: Oct 28th, 2005 1:33 PM
I agree, "regulation". I have caught wind of some strict legislation in the works in the US, mainly spurned by those more damaging prescription drugs (Vidcodin, Perkaset (sp), etc) that are ALSO available on the same sites that sell the Clomid w/o prescription. The reason these sites can get away with it is because MANY of them are based in places like India, and aren't required to comply with the FDA, and don't have the same requirements as far as prescriptions are concerned. They can legally have these sites up and sell this stuff without an actual prescription... IF you live in India ( or any other country with similar drug policy... of which the US, UK and Austrailia are NOT). If any responsible person were to read their disclaimers and policy ( the small links at the bottom of every page) you would see that they never claim to follow FDA regulations, their drugs are genarically manufactured in their country, and they make NO warranty as to the actual content/result of the drug. They don't guarantee that their drugs are what they say they are. I have yet to find ONE site that does not have these disclaimers... of the sites that don't require a legit prescription. It is terrifying that women are risking their children like this... never mind the horrible risks they are putting their OWN bodies in. I just have to hope that I can reach those still open to information, those still searching. If I can change THEIR mind about this dangerous ( illegal, immoral) course of action, then that is one more person, child, etc saved.. I will keep at it. Prescriptions aren't that hard to get, there is no excuse for this type of action. None. ↑

I see there is one I didn't find... at least you don't have to worry about quality there.. hopefully! It is also nice that that particular site doesn't sell the harder substances, so you don't have to worry about supporting that. Glad there is one safer alternative out there, even if it's still illegal w/o doctors prescription.. One less thing to worry about. ↑
