Haven't updated since my last post over 2 years ago on this forum. But that first round of Clomid helped and we conceived that cycle. our son Nicky is now 15 months old and perfect! Now we are trying for number 2 and my fertility issues seemed to get a lil worse with ovulation. So I started Clomid again on march 1st 2013. Day 4-8 of my cycle. Lets hope for another miracle. Side effects: moody, sore breasts. I also have odd feeling in that area... Maybe I can feel the follicle stimulation, l.

I know that people don't come to this forum often, but I just wanted to give some hope to any passers-by. I was on round #2 of Clomid...50mg on day 3-7 and after 2 years of TTC, I am now almost 7 weeks pregnant :) I had ZERO side effects other than a positive pregnancy test, so stay positive and I have my fingers and toes for you that it will work its magic for you as well.

well month 6 of clomid im up to 150mg for 10days my body just isnt responding :(

Trying for our first! I have PCOS and am on my 4th round of clomid, was at 50mg now up to 100mg. Hoping this does the trick. Side effects arent too bad for me, some cramping and hot flashes but i'll deal with whatever I have to if it will give me the baby we want so badly! Good luck to all!

I am starting Clomid today! I am a bit nervous. Hoping that this cycle is the one. Baby Dust to all!

Clomid is evil! I hope that I don't have to be on too my cycles with that stuff! Nausea, mood change, headaches, etc. The cramps for me were nothing, but the last day taking it my emotions were so crazy I just cried the ENTIRE day! Today is cd 16 and I am hoping (as everyone does) that this is my month!!! Anyone else have crazy emotions on Clomid?

Finished my Clomid yesterday, the cramps didnt last long, so in reality i didnt really get much in the way of sideaffects. Time to start the BD to get things moving...5 days and the a 7 day wait for bloods to see if it was worth all the hassel. Good luck ladies. Baby dust to you all.

angelic - i did clomid once and hated the side effects! Starting follistim injections next month hoping to lessen the side effects or speed up our 'trying' time. Good Luck to you!

Angelic- Clomid SUX! I have taken it 4 times now, and every month is different. Be prepared for the bloat and weight gain! Its all worth it in the end though...

First day of Clomid today, starting to feel rather crampy...didnt expect the cramps to start straight away

Strawberrysoda- I just got preg using clomid (2nd round). The doctor said I am having an abnormal pregnancy due to my HCG levels. I wanted to know if you got nausea in your first trimester. I haven't but think that might be because my hormones were heightened before I got pregnant. Let me know.

Hi everyone, I used to follow this site a while back due to my infertility and ttc. I found it really helped pass the time and bring much needed support even though i wasnt a member. I read all of the comments and kept up with everyones progress for the longest time. I wanted to quickly share my success story with all of you in hopes that it might bring some hope to some....I have a 2.5 y/o ds, and have been married for 5 years. I never knew that i had a fertility problem, It took me over 2years to conceive ds but never thought too much of it. once ds was born, I really wanted another right away, Hubby and I tried and tried, 2 years went by and nothing.....I finally went to the obgyn and expressed my concerns. They ran some tests and discovered that i suffer from PCOS. I was started on provera to get my period to start, and then i started clomid (days 3-7 @ 50mg). At this point i was vigorously searching for success stories through different sites, trying to give myself some hope. I read so many that conceived after one round of this, i thought, surely i wouldnt be one of those women who just needed such a small boost...and then i got my BFP. One round of clomid and I was preggo. I am now 30 weeks along with another little boy and anxiously waiting for his arrival. I just wanted to share my success story and also say, that for everyone who is struggling and having to go through more than just one round of fertility meds, my prayers are with you, and stay strong and stay trying because the reward in the end is well worth the trials and tribulations you are facing now. Good luck to all of you, and if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask away, i think you ladies are sooooo strong for sticking with it, you all will be incredible mothers !

Currently doing my first IUI cycle and I'm taking 5mg for femara(letrozole) and 150iu of follistim for 5 days. I only have one open tube so in order to do the IUI I need mature follicles on my right side and right now the biggest ones are on the blocked side.

I just started taking provera for the second time in a row, so that i can soon start clomid again this is my last month on it!! Dont now what to think starting to thing this is going to NEVER happen for me...ugh sorry for the vent

redheadmama - 1357 days ago.
anybody ever used Letrozole before? (it's supposedly a Clomid alternative)

Colleen.V. - 1367 days ago.
So as of tomorrow I will begin my first treatment of clomid...kinda scared of the possible side effects since i have experienced all the side effects you can think of from metformin that im also taking....hope it only takes one round of it...

I was tested for low progesterone it was .97 my entire cycle even after I had a positive ovulation. My doctor wants to put me on clomid and I just want to know if anyone has had this work for them in raising their progesterone levels.

Jenn.and.Pumpkin - 1395 days ago.
I am about to start my 1st cycle with clomid. I m/c my 1st child consived naturaly in may. Pior to being preg. I cycle tracked for 6mths and always had a luteal phase of 14 days. Now it is no more than 8 but we have confirmed I am actually ovulating. And my progesterone rises approptiatly after ovulation. Have any of you ladies taken clomid for a luteal phase defect??

Hi all! I am new to this site and was just wondering if there is anyone who has had an IUI? We have been ttc for 14 months. 6 months failed clomid. First IUI with clomid failed. 2nd IUI this month with injectibles and femera. Anyone else on this combo?? Thanks ladies:) Fingers crossed for a bfp!!

I just had my day 21 test last week to check my progesterone level. My results I received yesterday - 8.1. The nurse said that they like to have it 10 or above. So I am trying to educate myself online and find some info ~ does clomid increase your progesterone level? If so, has anyone had anything else in conjunction with it? I read someone took crinone gel with it and it increased it significantly. If anyone can shed some light or give me some of their own experiences I would appreciate it very much. I am sitting here at work just waiting for a phone call from doctor to find out if they will prescribe me clomid or not...they should right? Thanks ladies:)

Hi Julia, probaly because it work last time. If it does not work then they would do something else.For me this is my fourth time doing the same type of method. I take Follistim and metforim and overidal. Hope this helps. Good luck tomorrow.

HI! All I'm a of two ttc now 11 months. I'm not sure if I'm ovulating or not. Af is very irreg. the last two yrs I've had times where I didn't have a cycle or AF visited six months with no break to having ok cycles until oct where I had no cycle only to come on this month. every time I go to the doc i get put on bc'c which the side effects are horrible for me. I was wondering if anyone on here has tried anything other than clomid etc... has anyone tried the fertility cleanse or fertilaid. I'd like to know before I spend my money. Thanks

I would also like to add that the only difference between my last round of clomid that worked and the ones that didnt, taking into consideration that i was the same weight 3 times is the last time I also took vitamin E. If your trying I hope it works for you. Goodluck.

Hi all, i have a 9 yr old boy and after many years of trying, bouts of depressoin and weight gain, I finally lost 18kilos, tried clomid and now i have a 2 month old boy. After trying all those years I would like to start trying again straight away which means clomid again. Im wondering if anyone knows if I can take clomid and breastfeed before I go and see my doc again. Thanks in advance.
