Pregnancy Info HOME

Some people say that Clomid makes you ovulate later than normal. I dont think that happens to me. My AF are pretty regular and I ovulate 7 days after my AF ends. I can tell because my doc does sonograms to check and depending on wether im ovulating or not he give me shots. hope this helps somewhat. Does anybody else know???

Does anyone know if it is safe to take vitex or ferilaid and clomid together? I thought it would incresase the liklihood of twins but was just told that it could "cancel it out". Does anyone know? Has it been successful for anyone? I just did day one of Clomid and don't want to mess it up! Thanks!

Sarah Lee - I always ovulated late while taking Clomid (although I don't ovulate on my own at all). I O'd around day 19/20. Concieved 2 single pregnancies (one ended in m/c) and am now 37 1/2 weeks with boy/girl twins. I heard that the timing of when you take clomid can make a difference as well. I always took mine days 5-9 and was told you probably will ovulate 10 days after taking your last pill. Hope that helps.

Well I went to the doctor on Tuesday the 13th and u/s showed two big ripe eggs. The doc gave me a shot to bring them down. The problem I have I can't sit it hurts into my front from all the pressure.

Everyone is different when it comes to when they ovulate. My first two months on clomid I ovulated normally at cd14. My third month I ovulated on cd17. Kim said she O on the 19th. If you can't feel yourself O then get a opk. It will make it easier to know when to bd. I also read on the paperwork the doctor gave me to start bding 2-3 days after taking the last pill, every other day for 10-12 days. That should cover all your bases on when you ovulate. Hopes this helps and Baby Dust!

Hi

Well, I'm still waiting for AF, and it's 39 CD. I took a pregnancy test 3 times and it's NEGATIVE! Stress, dieting, exercise??? This has happened to me when I took 100-150 mgs NOT just 50 mgs of Clomid. Any insight???? Has this happened to anyone?

Hi Everyone!

I found this at http://pillseller.net/clomid.html

If your period does not arrive after the 35 th day there are two likely possibilities:

the dose of Clomid has not been
sufficient to produce ovulation,
or
you are pregnant
If your period is overdue, contact your doctor/fertility unit and they will advise you what steps to take.

Min - lets hope you O'd late & the reason your test are neg is b/c its just too soon. How is everyone Jaime, Julie, Sunita, Amanda ladies how are my new pg buddies.

What's the news???? Any update????

i have question im not sure if the answear there and i did not read it but how many month or days befor you try to concieve your taking the pills clomid

Well, I am about to take dose 3 of my clomid (100mg) and the only real S/E I have had are mild mood swings and lastnight I couldnt sleep for the life of me and I was so HOT! Have had a few cramps as well but, nothing major. I really hope this works for me this is my first cycle of clomid and feel so desperate for it to work! I have been TTC for 6 months now with no BFP in sight. I also found out that DH is secretly hoping for twins so he was thrilled to find out clomid increases the chances a little although he said he is scared of more then 2...lol. I will just be happy with 1 so anything will be good in my book. Sending all you ladies tons BABYDUST!

Everyone/All

I, while going for infertility with my wife for 5 years I have learned/research all the drugs and considered myself now quite a "expert' , ( if i can throw that word around losely). Do you people understand what you are doing ? DO you understand all the side effects of Clomid? I can assure that you that if you knew , NONE of you would be willing to take this drug for TWINS! While a "side effect" of using the drug is sometimes the release of multiple follicles, it is mainly used in stimulation, however it effects negatively the lining of many many woman. It also has many , many more side effects that are too many to mention. Also , do a web search in medical journals about the research being done due to the increase in birth defects directly correlated to this drug. Why do you ask, would anyone take this drug? Because being faced with either take this medicine with the risk or have no child at all, many THEN are willing to take this risk. Good luck in your need to play doctor.

dont play God - twins are high risk and a lot can happen - let God give you what he wants you to have!!

Like Kim I ovulate normally and have no problem conceiving in the past. I have a little girl... in my quest for twins I took Clomid and did in fact get pregnant the first time... I'm healthy and have never had any problems well... I DID get pregnant but something wasn't right, my HCG levels weren't doubling as they should and I am now going though a miscarriage as I write this. The doctor believes that the Clomid effected my lining and although the egg and sperm met and was fertilized it didn't develop properly or embed correctly... BE CAREFUL and decide if this is worth it. I too would love twins but I'm not going to do it again - the risk is too high and I now have a cyst on my ovary.
