ptlsmama:
I read that you received your pills and they're small, round and orange. That is exactly what I received. I didn't think to google it to see if they is what they should look like... I just started taking one (which should be 50mg) a day... I'm on day 4 right now.

I was half thinking that they're just coated...

I also see that you ordered a lot and are selling your left overs. Are you taking the orange ones? Are they correct? Did you get pregnant?

Any help would be wonderful! I'm semi-freaking out wondering what exactly I'm taking...


Gna - February 26th, 2009 11:59 AM

Ok, well maybe if I wouldn't have freaked out and finished reading this page, I would have seen you already answered the question about the orange clomid pills. That is exactly what mine looked like, and the packaging too.

How did your pharmacist verify? (If you don't mind me asking)

Have you started them yet? Do you chart?

I chart and started them on day CD5, hoping to O on CD14. We're getting married on Monday, so Conceiving during our honeymoon would be so awesome!

I'm not taking them to get multiples though, but I wouldn't mind. I'm taking them because I'm 37 yrs old, and after 6+ years of unexplained infertility, then 2 years of solitude, then a year of unprotected sex with my fiance before deciding we would try to conceive, Only to find out that I was already pg (at 5 wks when we decided to TTC). I lost that baby, and two more over the course of 2008 (worst year of my life).

Being 37, and feeling time flying by, and having 3 consecutive mc, I asked my doctor to start me on clomid so I could increase the chances of fertilizing my eggs by having more eggs to fertilize and therefore increasing my chances of having a viable pg. He said no. So I ordered it online.

I'm not planning on taking it for more than 3 months either. After that, I'll be begging my husband for IVF.

gna- I dont know what the pharmacist did he just put them under a machine and said they were fine. I am getting ready to ovulate on tuesday so we will see...How are u???


munchmom04 - February 28th, 2009 3:35 PM

Hi ladies, I just thought that I would come by and share my story with you guys. I am 25 hubby is 32 and we have been TTC for 3 years. We both have a child from a pst relationship. We went to our first RE apt on the 4th of Feb. He did a history and told us about how they go about things. He said that we would have to wait until next month since I was already on cd16. I really did not want to wait and asked him if there was anything that we could try this month and he told us about IUI. So he did an ultrasound and noticed that I did have some good looking follicles and some that were not too far behind them. I had been using opk and I continued to use them. I got a + the same night as our apt and the next day. I called his office and he told me to go ahead and give myself the HCG shot. I did that day and went in the next day 2/6 for the IUI. It is now the 28 and I got my BFP on the 18th. My HCg levels were not doubling like they wanted them to, but he said as long as they continue to go up then all is well. I am scheduled for my 1st ultrasound on the 11th and we are so ecxited. We really wanted multiples after trying for 3 years, but we will be happy for whatever GOD gives us. All the ladies TTC keep the faith and ti will happen. Good luck and lots of baby dust to you all. :-)

First time... was doing a lot of reading before deciding to join in.
Everyone in here is old enough to know what is right or what is wrong.
I have 2 kids (NO GOVERNMENT HELP!) both my self & husband work. I can only have 3 kids cause i'm c-section. I will only say my husband is twice my age & the sooner I get pregnant the better. My 2 kids are from my husband by the way. I'm going to start taking clomid (by MD or not) I would love twins,but if it doesn't happen it's fine as long as I have a healthy baby. Both previous kids no clomid. Im also doing the clear blue easy ovulation predictor. I will post my results. No matter how much babies I made have we support them not the government.

Welcome MyLifeNotYours!! No judgment here darlin :)

I just started another thread here TTC twins/multiples w/clomid as this one is getting very long at 12 pages and about 358 posts or so,lol!

Anyway, just wanted to say welcome and baby dust to you.

I have children already as well. We just suffered yet another loss...TWINS this time :(

I finally have a good cycle as of yesterday after having 4 days of spotting old blood. On to clomid again. Today is CD 2. The clomid cycles I did before were 50mg on CD 3- 7 both months. The second month is when we conceived our twins.

This time, I started them on CD2 at 100mg. My pathology of the placentas from our twins said they were immature...so, we hope a higher dosage will be the answer.

Come post with me and the rest of the ladies on the new thread. We would love to have you *hugs*


HoPe - March 4th, 2009 12:05 PM

I GOT A BFP THIS AM!!!! THE clear blue monitor had the levels all the way up and with a little egg on top!!! so excited, sad thing is we couldnt bd this am, huby was already gone to work, so i hope we still have time! very nervous now! i got it on cd 19, when i was almost giving up.
hows everyone doing?


HoPe - March 4th, 2009 1:12 PM

ok, i think i might be wrong if BFP stands just for pregnancy, i thot it meant big fat positive for every test you do, so basically i got a big fat positive for Ovulation, lol. sorry


Gna - March 11th, 2009 11:14 AM

Hi Ptlsmama...

Thanks for the reply. I'm good. I took my little orange clomid pills on CD5 - CD9. From what I can tell I O'd on CD14. Right now, I'm on DPO7 and anxiously awaiting testing time. I'm really hoping we're pg.

I went ahead and ordered some more Clomid from a different place though... Lol. Just in case these orange ones aren't right. Lol. The new ones say Fertomid-50 Clomifene Tablets BP 50mg on them. They're white/round with a line on one side, and a 50 on the other. So If I'm not PG this cycle, I'll try those next cycle.

HoPe: Yay to having a + OPK. I have never used them... I just chart.

If I knew how to post a link to my chart I would do it. Lol.
