Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi all,

I have been reading these posts for a while now. I am 34 and been TTC for over a year now. I have had two miscarriages, and the first pregnancy was a possible molar pregnancy, the DR wasn't sure. I am going to start clomid on days 4-8 of my cycle and reading all your posts have made me feel more comfortable with this. I am glad to have found this site and send baby dust out to you all.

Hey all - Just wanted to let you gusy know what is going on, especially to the ladies that have not yet started there first round. This is it in a nutshell.

I began my 1st round of clomid days 4 - 8 of my bleeding. Since then I have visited my specialist for my hormone level check, Progesteron at 7.2 (huge improvement) Estrogen at 1900, FH at 4.2 and a BFN for pregnancy at 2.0. These bloods were taken on November 28th so one week ago now. I saw my RE on Tuesday just passed for further instructions. She was happy to know that my progesterone levels had increased after comparing them with my bloods before I started Clomid. She then advised me to wait until December 8th to see if AF would arrive on its own if not then to take a blood test on Wednesday 10th. Last night after coming home from work, I ran straight to the bathroom to do a wee, when I wiped I found very very very light brown discharge/blood on the toilet paper. I immediately thought it was implantation bleeding. So I emailed my RE and told them what had happend. Got no reply as it was 11pm lol. I am at work at the moment and had the urge to go to the bathroom again and to my suprise I have my period! Now most of you are thinking "Good On Her" I feel the same, but by the same token I am dissipointed. I was convinced that I got it right this time. My fiance and I have had Intercourse on the recommended days and I have charted my ovulation which had only been one day (relativley late in my cycle) this cycle. I should be happy that my body if finally responding to the med's but at the moment it's sort of bitter sweet. Thats just an insider as to what you may expect after you 1st round. Will keep you all informed on whats going on - hopefully will hear back from my RE today, advising me on wether I should continue with CLOMID DAYS 4-8 on this cycle as well. Love and baby dust! P.S - Before I stared Clomid, my period was induced by Diane. Finish 1st round days 4-8, charterd ovulation with OPKS since the last day of Clomid, had sex on appropriate days, saw my RE when required, waited for a period and BAMMMM - just got one!

Anthoer quick update - I just received an email from my RE, she advised that I start 110mg clomid days 4 - 8 of this cycle. Today is day one as it is my 1st day of bleeding. Days 4 - 8 will be the 08/12/2008 to 12/12/2008. Start having intercourse around day 14 which will be 18/12/2008, have sex every 2-3 days not everyday! Eg: 16/12, 17/12, 19/12, 21/12 etc.... then a blood test on CD 23 (cycle day) which will be 27/12/2008. Note if I get another period in Jan. Baby dust and good luck in your ttc!

100mg clomid NOT 110MG!!! silly me sorry girls!

Hey all,

I'm new to the forum and have been reading since the end of November after stumbling on it searching the web for some hope about the clomid. I just turned 27 on Dec. 3rd and me and my dh (I think that's for husband) have been trying to conceive since we've been together which is 6 years now. We have been going to doctor to doctor due to the fact that I have pcos and a bunch of other medical problems. I come from a very very very very very fertile family so you can feel my frustration. I have been taking clomid for a year and 1 month. My doctor wants to do six more rounds before i go to the specialist. I am just really tired to tell the truth. I have had 3 D&C's , 6 cysts removed from my ovaries, and I have had irregular periods lasting from a min. of 2 1/2 months to 4 months straight with no period for just as long. I'm regular now since I’ve been on the clomid. I started my cycle on the 22nd of November and am on cd13. I took my clomid on 4-8 (usually on days 5-9 with 100mg) with 150mg and I have to take progesterone pills from cd18 to 12 wks to 5 months of pregnancy or until AF shows and I take a prenatal vitamin everyday and I have to take an iron pill b/c I’m anemic everyday. I have to deal with family and friends always asking when I’ll have kids and sometimes I hear them saying that I missed my chance because I wanted to be married first but it's silly just silly and the fact that they want to say well I didn't have to go through all that to get pregnant. It just keeps throwing in my face the fact that it's my fault we can't have a baby the normal way. I hope that this works because I am truly down sometimes with the situation and my dh is getting tired of this routine that we have to be on. I have found some hope on this forum and I love to hear your comments. I didn’t know a lot of the information that is on the forum. I wish everyone very sticky baby dust. Sorry for rambling on and on but it's nice to vent if it was too much just let me know. Anyway thank you very much for reading (listening). I will keep you posted on if I o’d or not b/c I’m doing the OPKS. This is my time I have to believe that . The 26th of December will be my cd35 and 19th of December will be my cd28 (AF usually shows up here since I’ve been on the clomid) THANK YOU AGAIN AND BABY DUST AND STICKY DUST TO YOU ALL.

Hey everyone I am new here, Just joined I figured this would help me put my feelings down I've been reading all of your forums and they inspire me to keep trying my husband and i have been married for 7 yrs and have NEVER had protected sex, we have been trying for about 5 yrs all the while my friends and sisters and sister in laws have not had any trouble concieving was a breeze for them....which in turn makes me very depressed, I am happy for them but i wish it was me you know? anyways my dr put me on clomid two weeks ago, my first cycle days 5-9 I believe I o'd on cd16 I checked my CM and everything We had sex for about a week and on that day I hope it worked I feel at my witsw end because we have been trying for so long, I just want my turn. It is glad to see people on here that are going through the same thing i am. thanks for being encouraging. BABY dust to all of you

Dee-Dee~Oh i so know how you feel i did not find out i wasnt ovulating until this past september when i bought a feertility monitor and it never hit a peak and i had to wait two months to see my dr becuase she has so many patients but she is worth the wait becasue she is so nice and willing to help me try anything.I had a dr before that I had to get rid of because he was a jerk told me that the only reason i wasnt getting pregnant was because i was overweight, which I know isnt the truth i have two friends heavier than me that have gotten pregnant without even trying. I know what you mean when you say your tired of people making you feel like its your fault I have people tell me all the time to stop thinking about it and it will happen, But i dont understand how to stop thinking about it, its really hard. I feel like i eat it sleep it breathe it. But im trying to remain calm IM on cd 19 and im positive i ovulated on cd 16 had the pains and the cm and everything so im hopeful just know that someday it will be our turn I dont know when but soon i know it. sorry to ramble but I had to tell you to have faith we will get there

I have a question Im pretty positive I already O'd more than positive well I am still haveing some cramping is this normal??? should i still be having o pains or is it the clomid ?

Hi ladies! Welcome to the forum! I am currently in my 2ww and driving myself insane!! I am trying not to even let my dh know how obsessed I am with this because I know how bad he wants it too and I am afraid it would drive crazier to know how crazy I was being! I am trying not to get my hopes up and read into any of the signs. I figure my body is going to be different anyway this cycle just because my progesterone level is up. AF is due to arrive by 12/10. I have promised myself not to test until than so as to not waste as much money! I just wanted to welcome all of you and see how everyone else was doing! Baby dust to all!!

Hello DeeDee - and welcome, I know what you mean, it is fustrating and very disheartning... Let me guess... you sometimes feel like your not a real women? I feel that way too, I am very blessed to have my fiance though, he is very comforting and considerate of my feelings even though 50% of the time I am yelling or throwing things at him (hormones lol). I know what you mean by family pushing the fact of children, I think they forget sometimes that it's not as easy as it was back then, there is alot more to deal with in terms of medical conditions and health. But what I will say is don't loose faith and try not to give up. Don't ever feel bad to cry and share your feelings with people - it is the healthiest form of communication. My fiance always says that he loves seeing the emotional side of me because that is when I am most passionate and he can see me bearing his children and I absolutely love him for that... Keep your head up girl and we are always here... I have been on this site since the begining of my clomid journey and it has been the best thing for me! Lots of baby dust and keep me informed!
Mommysomeday - I know what you mean when people tell you to "RELAX' I think WTF? HAHA... but really I do tell them off - I don't see why anyone else apart from you and your partner should feel so strongly about YOUR future children. As for you 1ST RE - good thing you got rid of him, I have PCOS and I am overweight... My 1st RE was a male and he gave me the same run around as you for 6 months.... I wasted half a year with him for no reason and outcome... I then moved on to a female RE who realised how important this was for fiance and I - and she has been the biggest gift to us so far. BTW the male RE I had actually got fired from his practice for being judgemental.... Ha I thought Shame on him!!! There are a few girls on here that I used to correspond with, their names are Krissy68, and Jodi-ttc-08 I think? They have interesting stories. Have a read through theirs and mine, we may have something that can help you - never loose faith, otherwise you admit defeat. Thats what my grandmother used to say and that is what is helping me through this ordeal... I will have my 1st child next year, because I believe that in my heart not because I want to believe it... Keep strong, keep in touch k!!! Baby dust to you!!!
Somedaymommy - Again, don't let it defeat you - I am writing this to you and it has only been a couple of hours since I found out that my 1st round of clomid flopped! - But never mind because I believe it will and can happen. Get yourself and really good hands on RE that will answer all your questions and write down step by step what you have to do on specific days and things WILL work out, I will be damned if you don't have a success story to share with us in a few months! My RE wrote on paper the days in which my fiance and I needed to have sex! Haha could you imagine how embarassed my other half was - bless him! Keep us all posted on whats going on! And I will do the same for you!.... Take Care and Baby dust with little hugs coming your way!
sdillon777 - I understand what your saying by not wanting your Hubby to get anxious! But by the same token sharing the excitment and info is healthy that way he can always know what your thinking - I have done the same with my fiance and it has brought us closer than ever! - GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR 2WW! - I was expecting my period next Monday 8th Dec, however it showed up today - blasted thing - suppose I should be happy my body responded to the clomid, but heartbroken that it did come otherwise I could have hoped for a BFP! Never mind always another round to go and this time it will be 100mg for me! Let us know how it goes fingers and toes crossed for ya!!!xoxoxoxox

DIDNT REALISE I RAMBLED ON SO LONG LOL! - SORRY GIRLS I TOOK UP HALF THA PAGE!

Good morning all, off to see my Dr today. Haven't received AF yet (normal for me) waiting on her to start the clomid. But... I take medication for panic attacks and the Dr told me that on Clomid it may get worse wich is why I'm off to see my PCP today to prep. Does anyone have any feedback about this. Does it make you anxious as a side effect and if so, relaxing techniques would be helpful. Thanks so much xoxo

So I go on Monday for my blood test. This last round of clomid I took 150 mg. I really am hoping my levels have increased. Last time I took 100mg and my level was still only a 0.7. So, I am very nervous. I tried talking to my best friend about it, but she is pregnant (almost 6 months), and we have been through alot together. When I tried to talk to her about the way I was feeling, you know, sad, jealous, anxious, but all she could say was well I'm sorry but I'm not gonna stop being excited that I'm pregnant, I couldn't believe it. It wasn't even about that. I just needed her to be there to tell me it was gonna be ok. I feel like she is keeping a little distance between us. Normally, we are inseperable. I just don't know what to do. I try expressing the fact that I AM really excited and happy for her but that's it's just so hard when someone so close to you and that you see everyday is pregnant and got there so easily. It's hard to watch her belly grow everyday. Do any of you ever get a little jealous? If so, how do you deal with it?!

Jill n Mark~ it is perfectly normal to feel Jealous over your friend, I know how you feel because not only are ALL of my friends PG but my older sister had a son 5 months ago and my younger one is due in April, so you can imagine my jealousy my sister in laws youngest is 1 yrs old almost and feel jealous because im afraid i will never be able to expierience that, So my point is, its Normal to feel that way. it will all be ok !
Samantha08~ Thanks so much for being an encouragement I needed it I think i have been obsessed with my clomid wondering if its working i look up and read articles and get disapointed when i read articles that say it doesnt help and I get wondering if maybe because things never work out for me that this isnt going to work either. so i get depressed alot. I need something to focus on and dont know what i love to scrapbook but i hate it becasue i dont have kids pics to scrapbook just my animals lol and there are only so many poses they can do. anyways thanks and sorry if this is long baby dust to all

Jill n Mark- I would ask your friend if there was something you said that may have made her feel that way.. I imagine your best friend wouldn't lash out at you for no reason. Maybe you both need to be supportive of each other- Happy and Nervous together. She may also be a little emotional right now and not really mean what she said. It's okay to be jealous when it's something you've wanted for so long and don't have and others (especially ones close to you) have. My sister in law is pregnant and even though I don't have my own, it's still exciting! I buy her maternity clothes for gifts and have been to her Dr visits with her. I know it's hard but always find the positive in everything. What's meant to be will be. That's the attitude I have to have, because consumming your life with anything is not healthy and only makes it more difficult. Also, could be a barrier in your persuit to conceive. I hope you read this as me sincerly trying to help and not taking it in any way meanly! I wish you all the best and happiness!!! xoxo

hey nwb1977---i finished my first round of clomid a week ago and i also get panic attacks...they were alot worst a couple of years ago and i dont take anything for them just talk myself out of them....but anyways when i was on the clomid for the 5 days every morning my anxiety level definately seemed to be higher. the best thing that worked for me was when i felt it coming on i would just try to relax my breath and think that its just the medicine doing its thing to help me make a baby. it always made me feel better =) good luck to you and i hope everything works out ok!!!
