I 27 and I am 5 weeks pregnant (yippee), I had quite early pregnancy symptoms sickness, tender brests tireness etc and I seem to to have put on 3-4lb in weight over the past few weeks even though my diet hasnt changed. I have been on Clomid for two months my Dr told me I have 1 in 10 chance of having a multiple birth. Can anyone in the same position as me tell me about thier pregnancy. I am so excited but very afriad incase i miscarry after al this time. I am also experiecning stabing pains and a dull pain on an off in my abdomin is this normal? ↓

I had clomid four years ago and then went onto daily injections where the risk of multiple bith was even higher but I had just one baby.I have four years later just started my first cycle of clomid again,don't worry I had a perfectly normal birth with my son at age 29 although he was only 6lb. ↑

I too was on clomid for almost 5-6 months. I am 7 weeks pregnant right now with triplets. Though the Dr. said that it is too early to say anything for sure right now. I have another ultra sound in the 8th week and will hopefully get a clearer picture then. ↑

I was on my first month of clomid last month, may and felt really good. We have been trying to get pregnant for almost 3 years this fall and decided we need help other than time taking its course. We are very hopeful that it would work very soon. it's great to hear that other people tried for a couple of months and are pregnant. goodluck to both of us. ↑

I am 21 and was also on Clomid for 2 months and I am now 5 weeks pregnant. I too have stabbing and dull pains in my abdomen. I think that is is just our abdomins stretching and making room for baby. As long as you are not having pain and bleeding then you should be fine. Good Luck! ↑

Hi, I am only guessing I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Had Period 12 April. Took clomid days 2-6. Cycle normally 43 days. Took test on day 43 and Neg. Took test again on day 47, 27/05/04 and very strong pos. Went to Doc for u/s but no sac. But HCG 1,298 and three days later 4,218. Scan Week later Gestasional Sac but no Yolk sac or baby. Going again on 22 June and Doc said I should see more. Maybe Heartbeat!I am so happy but miscarried at Holleween and I too am worried it will happen again. Pains like mentioned but no sickness just sore breasts and very tired. Can't wait for scan.Glad to know other's feel the same. ↑

I am 28 years old. I was on clomid for 7 months and finally became pregnant with clomid, pregnyl and an IUI. I am 18 weeks pregnant today with a girl :) I started having a lot of pain in my abdomen at around 5-6 weeks and it turned out to be cysts on my ovaries caused from over-stimulation, but they have now almost completely gone away on their own. Hope this helps. ↑
Name: Lisa | Date: Jun 30th, 2004 9:14 PM
Fiona, congradualations!!! I have also been taking clomid (4 months total) and I just found out I am 51/2 weeks pregnant. I also have been having these abdominal pains you were describing. I asked my doctor and he said that they could be growing pains or Pains from your body adjusting to not having a menstral cycle (cramping as if your were having a cycle). I don't think you have anything to worry about unless you discover spotting or heavy (grayish) discharge. I wish you the best of luck with your pregnancy and congradulations again! ↑

I am also 5 weeks pregnant we tried for a year with no luck. Second marriage. Both tested fine. First month on clomid got pregnant. Now I have been having great cramping in lower abs. This is my third and I never had this before. Good luck to you all. ↑

Hi, I am 6 weeks pregnant after 2 rounds of clomid, 4 days ago I started spotting and it hasn't stopped. I have no cramping and I still have all the symptoms. I am going for an ultrasound in 2 days. I am so scared, I have heard this is normal, but I am fearing the worst. Has anyone been in my position? ↑
Name: Daphne | Date: Jul 20th, 2004 8:23 AM
I have also been on Clomid for 2 months, I am 6 weeks pregnant today after 2 years of trying! My Dr. told me there is a 15% chance of twins and a 5% chance of more. I am also experiencing stabing and dull pains and I have been told it is normal. I had a miscarriage 2 years ago and had not one cramp or pain at all. I didn't know until old blood started. So don't worry yet. ↑
Name: amanda | Date: Jul 20th, 2004 10:47 AM
well this morning I woke up to heavy bleeding and some clotting, I am amusming the worst. I am still going to go for the ultrasound tomorrow, and I will continue to hope its ok. ↑
Name: Charlene | Date: Jul 20th, 2004 1:25 PM
I also conceived on Clomid. I am now currently 18 weeks. I can remeber experiencing dull aches in my abdomen as well. Its probably just everything stretching. Try and relax, but I know how you feel I was extemely nervous and still is!
Good luck ↑
Name: Emma | Date: Jul 21st, 2004 12:07 AM
Amanda - I hope that everything is ok, I hate to say but i miscarried last September with exactly the same symptoms you are having, I started with very slight spotting, had an ultrasound and they said at that exact time there was a 6 week pregnancy. That night i started bleeding and it just got heavier from there. I never had any pain until a few days into the bleeding.
Found out a few months ago i wasn't ovulating and went onto Clomid, I just had my 2nd cycle on it and am pleased to say i am just over 4 weeks pregnant.
with my first 2 children i got sharp stabbing pains every now and again, mainly when i moved quickly or got up guickly, my OB said this is normal and nothing to worry about. Hope Everyones pregnancies go ok. Amanda i really hope everything is ok with your pregnancy and my prayers are with you. ↑
Name: amanda | Date: Jul 23rd, 2004 5:01 PM
Emma, thank you for your comments. Unfortuately I did miscarry. I am trying to stay strong, and as sad is this is at least I achieved a pregnancy. I just pray I don't wait forever to get pregnant again. ↑

Emma & Amanda,
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I too miscarried last month. I was on clomid for 2 months but went on vacation and started while I was away so I missed the 3rd round. Wouldn't you know I got pregnant. Since I wasn't being monitored and my history a long time between cycles he couldn't pin point when I conceieved, The next month (July) I just found out I was pregnant again. They say that after a miscarriage you are more fertile. I am now wondering about my hcg levels. On 7/22 they were 211 and on 7/27 4925. If you figure the double every 48 hours it did way more than that. I'm wondering if its twins. Only one sac (identical). I am also an identical twin~ GOOD LUCK and get back on the horse ↑

Hello Fiona,
Congratulations on your pregnancy.
Everything you've explained as symptoms, (sore breasts, tiredness, weight gain, etc.) I had in the beginning of my pregnancy too. I was on my third cycle of Clomid on 100 mg when I finally got pregnant, but I was pregnant with triplets. I lost all three at around 7-9 weeks. The Dr. said it was because there were too many babies and the chromosomes didn't seperate properly, so they never would've grown.The chance of this occuring is less than 1% so I wouldn't assume that it is happening to you. I just want to let other women know that having more babies in one birth is not a good thing. If I had been pregnant with a single baby I would have had a healthy pregnancy and would be 6 months pregnant now. But don't worry about period like cramping or minor pain in the uterus area, that's normal. If there is bleeding or extreme pain then see your Dr. ↑

Hi, I have a question. I had a miscarriage 1 week ago and its done now, when is it safe to start having sex again? The sooner we can start trying again the better!!! ↑
Name: Dana G | Date: Jul 31st, 2004 9:49 AM
Mindi,
In June I miscarried (15th) went back on clomid right after and now I am 5 1/2 weeks pregnant. Ask you Dr. to go back onto clomid and try again. GOOD LUCK ↑
Name: Mindi | Date: Jul 31st, 2004 3:45 PM
Dana, congrats!! I have talked to my doctor, he wants me to wait one month then go on the birth control for 1 month then start the clomid. I don't want to wait that long. ↑

Hi all, I last wrote on the 16/06/04, at 5 wks preg. When I went for scan after that I was about 7wks or more. Doc said my preg was not going to continue. I had no bleeding or heavy cramping. I was just gutted. The sac had srank from my previous scan and the fetal pole he had seen was reabsorbed in his words. I have my bad and good days since. I still want to be a mummy but that's my second miscarriage and it's heart breaking each time. I had a D&C cause there was no sign of it happening itself and they said alot of the time they don't find the loss until the 12 week scan so I'm glad I was being monitored closley. Hope all will be well with you. In my prayers. Chelley ↑

Hi, yes I have been on clomid a couple of times once for 3 months at 50mg then it was upped to 100mg and I was taking dexamethasone for 1 month and Tamoxifen for 2 month. The second month I got pregnant!! I was so happy but I miscarried at 6 weeks. I am staying postive because at least now I know I can get pregnant. We have been trying for 6 years now. Good luck to all of us. ↑
Name: Izy | Date: Aug 10th, 2004 12:50 PM
Im 29 and have been on clomid for 6 months and thought I was 6weeks pregnant when I went for my scan. The doc could not see anything in the scan, did tests and said that I am only 4 weeks pregnant. How is this possible when I know the first day of my last period was 6 weeks ago. should I be worried??? Is it that my baby is not growing correctly and that is the why test show I am only 4 weeks. I'm sor freaked out. I have scan on Friday. Hope you are all doing ok. It has really helped to read all your experiences. Im thinking of you all. xx ↑
Name: amanda | Date: Aug 11th, 2004 1:48 PM

I live in a small town and it seems like everyone knew I was pregnant. I miscarried 4 weeks ago now and I still have people saying congrats to me.
