Pregnancy Info HOME

Lecture, lecture lecture....didnt do me any good did it! Well, I am not saying that just because I turned out ok means that all premature babies are ok. There are much worse things that I could be doing than taking unprescribed clomid. So with that said, I still believe what I have always believed, once someone has made their mind up you are not going to change it. So please leave me and lew on this thread alone. Thanks!

mabe you and lew should e-mail privately so that you don't have to hear all this stuff, and leave this forum to people who are actively searching for information, willing to listen to others experiences and stories, and maybe learn something? I mean, if your mind is really made up and you don't care about the risks and dangers, why would you continue on this board anyway? It seems private e-mailing would be easiest for you.

I wish you could spend a week in the life of a premature mom, one that has issues with her child, one that gets that call at two in the morning saying you may want to come to the hospital right away.

or maybe you will get pg with a singleton and have a healthy baby, to discover years down the road that taking that clomid for months on end without supervision of a dr and without knowing the right dosage has resulted in cervical cancer. Yes it happens.. happens all the time.

Did I say that I was taking clomid for months on end? NO !!!! I have taken one month of 50 mg. And yall act like I have hurt someone by that. This thread is about peoples experiences so if I want to post here I will.

There are risks and dangers with everything in life...nothing is guaranteed!!! How about all the moms out there that are on drugs while pregnant or doing drugs with their child in the same room. I am not saying that I am a saint, but if I start having problems I know to see a doctor etc. Thanks for your concerns but I enjoy talking to others that are doing the same thing and do not think that there is anything wrong with chatting online with them.

Wow! I am gone for most of the day and come back to utter mayhem! I am not going to join in...and want to say DITTO on what Lynn had to say about: 1ST- our minds are made up, and 2ND- woe, hold on there...I am not intending on taking clomid months on end.....as with Lynn, I plan on only doing it at the most for 2 cycles! I was planning on sharing my entire experience...good or bad, and so giving the full picture to all who would like to read. Can you say ANONYMITY, hence why we are not emailing each other. I like my privacey and just was happy to find someone that was on the same page as me with the process. Lynn, lets not get into the fighting ring with these gals. Like I have said...I DO respect your opinion, and I DO thank you for your advice and have taken it under consideration... however, I plan on taking clomid soon. I am not a financial freak case either! Oh how you have no idea of my circumstances...(nor anyone else for that matter:) Take it easy Lynn and smile:) I am excited for you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that all goes well (like with so many others). We know the risks and we have gone ahead with our choice. Talk with you soon. Lots of baby dust your way:)

Thanks for the sweet comments lew!! I hope the best for you also and will kup on here! I am not going to waste my energy on typing back and forth to others that will never see it my way, but instead use all that energy to bd!!!! ttyl lots of baby dust your way +++++++++++

Lynn and Lew.... maybe start a new thread with just your names in the title so you can continue your discussion? The title of this thread "purposely pregnant..." just invites other points of view, and if you don't want to read those, why not start a thread that only you two can be interested in?

Lynn-- I am with ya on that. Take it easy and we'll talk later. I will let ya know when I start mine. Thanks for your support as well:)

I'm not wanting to join in a debate or anything, but I would like to say that my doctor prescribed Clomid for me even though I am perfectly fertile and ovulate monthly. My husband has a low sperm count, and he thought that if I have more "targets" for the sperm to go after, I will have more chance of success. I took 50 mg on days 2-6 last month. This month, he upped me to 100 mg. I have not had any monitoring other than him asking for my chart and to keep track of OPK results. Chances of twins are not really that great anyway, and a good strong majority of twins are born without troubles. So IF these ladies were to be successful at conceiving twins, the likelihood of all being fine is very good.

Thank you Sheryl, and good luck with ttc. No matter what, we will be very thankful to conceive a singleton. I too beleive that the likelyhood of us conceiving twins is still very low, and that is fine with me. This is why I do not plan on taking it more than 2 cycles...as I have a feeling I will be pg by then. I do know that if I were to go into an obgyn, I could most likely get a script for clomid due to my circumstances...however, I don't see the point of it at this time...I have not had trouble in the past, and so I am just going this route for now and we will see. Best wishes to you and your husband and I appreciate your comments, as well as all the others. This thread is for information, and all that view it, should have both sides (and now, some middle ground from your comment, Thank you). This will hopefully ensure that at least the women with half a brain will make an informed decision for theirself.

On a much lighter note---Lynn--- you're weekend is gonna be fun....your clomid is all done...bd, bd, bd, that's right...best wishes to you in all these nights! (or days) LOL :) I needed to "destress" :) Lots of baby dust your way...careful babydust, lol. I will hopefully be right behind ya!

i can't wait until one of you screws up your own babies by taking the drugs illegally. You're also probably the type to withold this information from the doctor and then sue for medical malpractice against the doctor because your precious triplets aren't born perfect.

wonder if they know that 99% of triplets are born so permature that they spend at least a month in the hospital and most have on going medical problems as a result, even if it is something small say needs to wear glasses, that will be something they did to their children because they were so damn greedy.

Hey lew!!! Guess what, I felt some mild cramping today at work...when I went and tested...i am sooooo positive on my opk!!! So bding last night prob helped. Will hopefully bd tonight and tomorrow night...DH now has a job that wants him to go out of state---to california from texas....over the weekend and I am like...oh no...I didnt do all this preparation for you to go out of town. SO I am very Happy to get a positive today...cause maybe just maybe I will luck out!

Lynn-- that is so Wonderful!! What cd are you on? Sperm can live up to 6 days inside you....so last night would have helped! Keep it up and I am so happy for you!!! Keep me posted on how you are feeling and when you think you will be doing the pg test. I hope mine is in the mail today or tomorrow:) Hey, do you want to start a theard that less people will be on...or is this one ok...I am good either way...I just think I will need to ignore the hostile comments while going through this process, ya know. I don't want to be rude, but geez they can be so mean! So that is my plan. Best of luck to you!!!! I am excited for you! Lots of baby dust to you!
