O-baby - those dinners r always special, nothing like some quality time to take ur mind off things...

Jac1019 - I really hope that's things aren't too serious :-( Fingers & toes crossed u get good news on Monday and there's no need for further testing.

As for me, been a busy day bit no sign of ovulating, had such a weird feeling like when AF is due, very mild cramps and the worst backache last night, couldn't sleep too well, but today its all gone and temps still low.. so who knows. Goin away tomm till Monday so just gonna try relax and not obsess over this, there's always next month, right...

My wife starting her AF (light) couple of days before she took Provera (5 pills/5 days). She was still bleeding (light) when we met with our Fertility doctor on Thursday 3/17. Our dr. prescribed us Clomid of 50mg. Yesterday, 3/18, before my wife took the first pill of Clomid. Shes started bleeding heavily. Its day two of her Clomid and still, she's bleeding heavily. (It over flowed this morning and I had to clean our matress) My wife is worried and I am beginning to. I've searching on Google and some other forums say its normal. Are they right????? Is this normal??? Please help. I am worried and feel bad for my wife because she hasnt bled like this in a very , very, very long time. Please help. Thank you so much!!!

So just a quick note cause I'm on my phone typing this, but I got my blood test results back and I didn't ovulate this month, so O-BABY I'm with you and back on provera to make me get AF then this month my clomid is getting upped from 100mg to 150mg :( this sucks! I'm going into my 5th cycle, ive had enough and am ready to be pregnant.

Out of my 4 cycles of clomid I have only ovulated twice :(


Jac1019 - I'm sorry to hear about your other medical problems you're facing right now. I'm hoping they dont need to do anything at all! But on the good side, at least they checked early so it'll help you to prevent what your dad had to go through.

Hi all, I'm on round 2 of clomid 100mg, rd 1 was 50. Clomid makes me feel pretty bad but I don't mind, will be worth it if it works! I'm 29, hubby is 30 and we have been tcc for 7 months, hoping this month is it. Day 2 today, I take it at night to try to sleep off any side effects before I go to work, this sometimes works and sometimes doesn't!! Lol!
Good luck to everyone this month! Let's all hope for dec/Jan babies!!

Good Lu

wannabeadaddy-

It is can be normal for your wifet to have AF, but not sure about the amount of flow she is having?? Might want to consult with a different Doc. Never hurts to get a second opinion.

Hopefullysoon-

So sorry that you didn't ovulate this month. I know it can be down right beyond annoying and stressful!! Maybe both of us will have positive results with starting Provera over again. And I also am like you, ready to be pregnant already!! Fingers crossed that this cycle is our time!! :)

Babymoon-

Welcome! Did you ovulate when you were on 50mg of Clomid? I think I am the only one that has been on 50mg of Clomid for 3 months. Sorry to hear that you have side effects, I am sure they can be uncomfortable, but like you said....if it works it will be well worth it :) And fingers crossed that it works!! Hopefully you and your husband only have to go through a short period of this, unlike all of us that have been ttc for 3 plus years. Good thoughts your way, hopefully this is your month!! :)

I am now on day 5 of Provera, can't wait to start the third round of Clomid! I swear it seems like we have to wait FOREVER to start our rounds of Clomid! I know I have said it a thousand times as well as everyone else.....but I HATE waiting!!!! Oh well.....fingers crossed for TONS of baby dust for all of us this month!

Oh.....hopfullysoon- I hope that your get away was relaxing and stressfree :)

O-baby.
Not sure if 50mg worked. We had thought so but then af arrived and was only here 2 days. Off to specialist tomorrow and see what she says then. 7 months doesn't seem so bad compared to you poor ladies here's hoping this mnth works for us all!
My specialist will only let us do 4 months of clomid before either a break or moving on, and I don't like the Ida of shots everyday, so really hoping for some positive news this month!!

On the + side cycle was only 31 days down from 41 last month. Progress!

Good luck everyone!

Babymoon - Welcome to the group! Glad you've joined, and good luck to you this month!

O-BABY - yes my weekend away was nice! It was really good to go and see some family and relax, it definitely helped take my mind off of things. Our cycle will be super close this month. I'm on day 2 of provera so only 3 days behind you. I'm hoping I get AF right away from it this time. Last time I took it I had to wait 2 days after I finished taking the provera for AF to show up. I'm like you, I'm SO SO SO ready to be on the next round of clomid. I just want to get it started!

Good morning all!
My weekend away was very nice but unfortunately still no sign of temp shifts... and I’m on CD26 now... so don’t think it will happen this month.. suppose I don’t ovulate normally so had my hopes a bit high for the clomid... have my blood test scheduled for Sat morning so guess I”ll go have it done, even though I’m pretty sure the progesterone test will be negative for ovulation... was hoping clomid was going to give me a shorter cycle length but I’m not so sure... in the past I’d have the sore breasts etc for about 2 weeks before AF, this month just nothing... I almost feel like clomid has made it worse, I’m terrified of going back to having no cycles at all since that’s how I was last year and it was not very pleasant.

Hopefullysoon -
I’m so sorry about your blood test, I know how you feel though... I’m not sure if I’ll have to take progesterone cream or if I should wait, cause I was getting periods every 37 days, even though I was not ovulating. So maybe I’ll wait till then and then have 2 weeks on the cream, but that just makes it SO long still till I can take my 2nd round of clomid, gonna be on another 50mg round. Not feeling too positive about it though.
Babymoon -
Welcome! And yes, Dec/ Jan babies would be PERFECT as we shut down for work and that means an extra month of leave onto my maternity leave ?
O-baby-
It deffo does feel like its forever to wait to go back onto the clomid – waiting for AF and then having to take something for it and still wait... I’m also not a very patient person...

Angel-

Don't get discouraged about Clomid yet....you have only gone through one round, sometimes it takes a couple, sometimes it takes a larger dosage. I have been on 50mg of Clomid for two months and my second month I ovulated but no AF. This is my third month and the Doc has put me back on provera (progesterone) to bring on AF, then I can start my third round of 50mg Clomid. Hopefullysoon is actually going through the same thing I am. So....with that being said, don't write off Clomid yet, it may take a few months for it to start working for you, and it may take a higher dosage. I know it is a pain waiting and wondering if the dosage is right for you and wondering how long your cycle will be this month...but all we can do is pretty much just wait. I say hang in there girl :)

Babymoon- How long were or have you been taking 50mg?

hopefullysoon- I am glad to hear that you had a great time ;) We sure will be real close with our cycles this month, that is really cool. I actually started AF the last day of Provera the first time I took it. Hopefully we get prego this MONTH!!! :)

Hi Everyone

Ive been off-air for a while :) obviously lol
so whats been happening my friends?
O-Baby, hows things with u?? I was going to read back through but its 16 pages lol call me lazy.

Jen30, hows this pregnancy? I hope its going well!

I am still pregnant :) :) :) friday next week will be 4 months. I have had 7 ultrasounds so far due to being high risk die to other health issues but so far so good :) :) :)

Obaby
Just first month on 50mg, I have pcos and v irregular non o cycles, so they think I hadn't ovulated since we started trying. I was temp charting and using maybe baby that whole time and nothing! They started me on 50mg last month as a base but I'm thinking most of what I thought meant it was working was probably side effects! So take 2 this month, my specialist actually wanted to go straight to shots and iui but I wanted to try clomid alone first. Has anyone been insanely thirsty while taking it? It doesn't seem to be a commonside effect that I can see but that's where I'm at today! Weird!!

Babymoon-

I also have PCOS and do not ovulate, well did not ovulate until I started taking Clomid. The only side effect that I have had while taking Clomid is weight gain. That is about to tick me off! I am going to mention it to my doc when I go in to do my blood test this month. Not sure that she can do anything, but maybe there is something that can counteract it. Haven't had any side effects of being thirsty though. How many rounds of Clomid are you planning on taking before you go to shots and IUI?
