Pregnancy Info HOME

I just found out I am pregnant today for my fifth child. My youngest is 12 months and after him I had a m/c and a chemical preg. I was put on Clomid 50mg and this was the third cycle. Good luck. Oh you do not need to have an orgasm to get pregnant.

the key to Clomid is to be certain you are on the correct dose to get you to ovulate - your doctor should be monitoring this. That said, Clomid doesn't work for everyone, and even if you are ovulating that doesn't guarantee a pregnancy. Most resonsible doctors will not use clomid beyond 4 cycles. Good luck!

KLM - What cycle day are you on I am on cd14 and this is my 3rd round of clomid 50mg I took it cd 2-6 I think with the other 2 cycle I didn't time bding right but on the main day he was gone. Krissy68
Carly67 - How far along are you and how are you feeling, my youngest is 3. Keep us posted. Krissy68

KLM, I got pg on my 3rd cycle of clomid, after trying for about a year, following a m/c. Make sure the doctors are checking your progesterone levels... I had it checked during the 2nd clomid cycle, and it was low, and they put me on a supplement following ovulation. I don't think that all doctors routinely check progesterone levels, so if they haven't checked yours, ask for it... I think it might have been my problem when I was ttc. I think the clomid helped by regulating my cycles (they were very long before.) Good luck to you!

Hi Everyone,

I'm now on cycle day 23 and have had two ovulation dips and spikes with Fertilityfriend and basal thermometer. I haven't had very high temps though so I don't think this cycle is going to work. My OB has me starting from day 5-9 with sex starting on day 11 every other day. I'm getting really frustrated especially since my hubby went for a sperm test and it came back normal so next time I go to the OB which is May 26 I'll ask to have my progesterone tested but I did have blood work done on my second cycle and it did show that I ovulated so its a real big mystery to me as to what is happening. But I'll keep everyone posted!!!

KLM - I was just checking in on you. Krissy68

Hi Krissy68,

My name is Kerri and now on cycle day 29 but my temps using the basal and Fertilityfriend have been low but according to my chart it looks like I ovulated twice? Sounds strange but that's what the chart looks like. I may not take another course of Clomid because of the side effects from it. I've been getting headaches, not sleeping well and sad more often with crying jags. I do though have an appointment with my OB on May 26 so I'll have to wait until then to see what he recommends. Just debating whether or not to use a pregnancy test just to check but I think it might be best to wait until tomorrow. Its so frustrating ttc with it seems like never any luck. So how about you, what cycle day are you on since we are on our third cycle of Clomid? Do you have any side effects from it? My only child is 28 months and very active!! Thanks for checking in on me and we'll keep each other posted!!

KLM - Hey girl well I took a hpt with my fmu and I got a faint bfp so I am getting to go to the lab and have blood work done I am on cd 26 and AF is due May 12 I took clomid on cd 2-6 50mg and no I didn't have any s/e. Krissy68

HI Krissy,

That's wonderful news and I'm really glad as for my first child I got a faint positive after being a week late, so when are you due?? I got some bad news I'm on cd 32 and tested at a doctor's office and it was negative but yet no sign of my period which probably is on the way. Its so frustrating as I can't figure out the problem and even my OB would probably figure by now that I would be pregnant too but I'm going to stop the Clomid because of the headaches and see what happens when I go to my OB in a few weeks. I hope things get better but I'm even considering maybe not trying again since its heading now for two years with no luck. I also have felt under the weather since I had a dizzy spell in November with taking Advil every day for the headaches/dizziness. Maybe I'm going through the change of life since I'm 37. Keep me posted on how you are making out and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY early!!!! That's a great present!!!!

KLM - Well I don't think this is going to be my month after my faint + I have been getting BFN and I got the results back from my blood test and that was BFN but I took the test on Tuesday which was cd 26 AF is due on Monday May 12. I think I am going through the change as well I will be 40 next month I will keep you posted I will be seeing my Gyn soon I need to have my family dr do a referal because I haven't seen the gyn since I had my daughter 3 years ago. Happy Mother's Day to you also Enjoy your day. Krissy68

Hi Krissy,

I'm sure that was disappointing and I guess I'm a little baffled as to why you would get a faint positive and then negative but a good idea to go see your OB. I'm sort of baffled too right now I'm on day 36 and still no period either after having a urine test done at the doctor's office and it coming back negative. My basal temps have been relatively low too and suggested that I didn't even ovulate this cycle so its a mystery to me too that I've reached day 36 and nothing to suggest either a pregnancy or period. I'll be 38 in October myself so I'd like too like you to get the ball rolling as soon as possible. I live in a small town in Ontario, Canada and have an excellent OB called Dr. Brad Jasey and I was thinking about maybe calling the office to see what I should do since my next appointment isn't until May 28. But I'll keep praying for both of us and hopefully soon it will happen. Hope you had a great Mother's Day as I went out for Chinese food for supper which is always great!!! Did you get your period yet as well as I know you said you were due May 12??

KLM - It happened saturday soaking through pads and passing large clots it is still happening I see my dr on thurs. Krissy68

HI Krissy,

Wow I'm glad that you are going to see your doctor since you are flowing that much. I can sympathize with you as about three periods ago I had the same thing but the OB told me that I may have heavier bleeds because of the Clomid but still a good idea to check. I'm 38 days today and no period yet so I'm hoping that if I can get through another week it may happen but we'll wait and see. I hope you get some better news as to why the heavy flow. Let me know what happens today! Take care!!

Kerri

KLM - Hi have AF showed up I hope she stay away. I am doing better I am now starting to spot my family dr seem to think that I did m/c I have an appointment with my gyn on my birthday next month so I will let you know what happens. Have a great weekend. Krissy68

Hi Krissy,

Sorry to hear that you had your period and hopefully the next cycle of Clomid will do the trick. Also glad to hear that you are now spotting as opposed to having a heavy flow. Also sorry to hear that it might have been a m/c I know I think I've had at least two myself lately and its very frustrating. I'm on cd 44 with no period so maybe this cycle for me maybe the one. I took though a home pregnancy test on Sunday which came back negative so I'm not really sure what's going on plus I have a bad cold right now to boot so that doesn't help either. Let me know what's new with you and hope things go better this time around. I go see my OB next Wednesday as well!! Take care and lots of baby dust ttc!!!

KLM - How are you doing I am doing much better. I am now done with AF which I am so glad. I didn't take clomid this cycle I wanted to give my body a break to see what will happen on my on. The only thing I am doing this month is taking my prenat vit and baby asprin I did start to take robintussin on cd 10 not really sure why I am taking it cause I only took one clomid pill and that was on cd 3 anyway I will take the robintussin for I guess 10 days I should ovulate on cd 18. I also started doing the opk test strip on cd 10 I ordered them off the internet today when I tested I got a real faint second line and my temp went up from 97.78 to 98.30 but the direction said if the test line is light then it is a negative but I will be bding anyway just in case. I go and see my gyn on my 40th birthday which is on Jun 3 and I am going to let him know that I want to be real aggressive since I am 40 so I want more then the clomid I just hope my insurance will pay. I will keep you posted. Krissy68
