hi i have been taking clomid for 4 months after i had a sterilisation reversal and still havent got pregnant and only ovulating on 1 side i wish you all look

I just finished my first round of chlomid yesterday (I took it day 5-9) - do I use an OPK today?

hi there! you should start testing with OPKs on cd12. Good luck! I took clomid 50 MG cd5-9. The second cycle with preseed and lots of prayer I got my BFP! I am around 7 weeks. Wishing you all the best and many baby blessings!!!

Hey,
What' s OPK? I'm on clomid too. I've tried IUI 2x and was unsuccessful and I just thought I'd slow down and try this. I took it from day 3 - 8. Now what???

OPK is ovulation prediction kit. I used clear blue easy. You should start testing at least three days after the last pill. Usually you get your surge around six days after the last pill. I hope this helps and good luck!

Hi! This is my first time too on a board and I am on day 10. I took Chlomid 5-9. After the provera I had spotting etc so I am a little nervous that my cycle days arent correct at this point. I have been sick to my stomach and thirsty as well and feel really bloated!! I am also really emotional today! I am a little scared that maybe I didnt take the chlomid at the right time but doctor didnt seem to question it. Do you know how soon after stopping the chlomid ovulation typically begins? I have never charted my ovulation so I am not sure how to do this. What does cd mean? Thank you and I look forward to hearing your stories! Blessings!

HI!...I stopped having my cycle after trying to conceieve for about a year. Went to an ob/gyn to see what the prob was, he said i was not ovulating so was put on progesterone to start my cycle that first month...started, then was started on clomid soon after...I just took my 2nd round of clomid. I too felt a lil sick to my stomach, very thirsty (I dont drink water like I should but have been craving it!) I have also felt some dizziness an very tender breasts....when I started they said my numbers were 0.4 an that I needed at least a 4.0 to get preg. I took the 1st round days 5-9 an went for blood work an found that I did ovulate an my numbers were 17 (not sure how good that is?)an so they kept me on 50mg days 5-9...I'm new to this site, but I think cd means clomid day?...not sure....also, on my 2nd round I started my cycle on my own without the progesterone....I heard that you shouldnt take clomid for more than 6 rounds....How true is this an why is that?...Should I look into seeing a fert. spec. if I dont conceieve within 6 months?

This is my first time on one of these boards as well. I haven't yet taken chlomid but am supposed to start this month. I was previously on progesterone to get me regular again. I have PCOS and had my period constantly and hadn't ovulated in I don't know how long. I have now been regular for four months and now will be starting chlomid. I am not very familiar with it so I was looking for a little insight on the side effects and how well it actually works. I also take metformin for my PCOS and didn't know if anyone was familiar with taking that as well. I've just been getting so discouraged with the whole baby thing and am starting to feel like it will never happen. Anyone have any positive news ; )

Hi Ladies,

This is my first time on this board, and I'm so glad I found you! My DH and I have been married for 11 years (both 37), and have been TTC for a few years now. My RE is starting us on Chlomid during my next cycle ("should" start around 1/5). I'll be taking 2 per day at 50 mg. each on CDs 3-7. Then, on CD 10, 11 or 12 I'm supposed to schedule an ultrasound so they can tell me the best time for my husband to administer Ovidrel (trigger shot to release eggs). The first cycle we'll be doing timed intercourse, but the subsequent two cycles (if needed) will be with IUI performed 36 to 40 hours after the Ovidrel injection. Hopefully, my husband's little guys will make it to the finish line and no IUI will be needed. My RE will only do up to 3 cycles on Chlomid. After that, the big guns come out.

My questions for you are many. What are the side effects I should expect? Have any of you hyper-stimmed? Should I use Pre-Seed right off the bat? Any advice, support or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Merry Christmas to all.

cd means cycle day.

Hi ladies. I am on my first round of Clomid 50mg, cds 3-7. I am going insane waiting to get that BFP. Today is cd 26 for me and so far nothing. I did some gardening today, and got light- headed half-way into it. I also was light-headed the last two days that I did my morning walk. My bbs are not sore, no nausea, no hunger bursts - only the light-headedness out of blue..and when I try to sip on a glass of wine. Any advice? Merry Chistmas and good luck to all of you.

my sister was lightheaded when she would sit at her computer and she had cramps and cramps and had convinced herself she had a tumor. well she asked my mom and she just said "you're pregnant. go test." and dang if my mom wasn't right lol. i'd say wait for the time when your period should start (whatever your cycles were before the clomid) and pee on a stick! oh and did you ovulate? what did your day21 bloodwork say?

My last cycle was not regular-2 periods in the same month! I am expecting af any day now, but have no symptoms that it is coming. I have been peeing on a stick every day for the last few days. I am using dollar store hpts. I am not sure when I ovulated or if I ovulated but . I had cramps and tugging on the left side around cd18, had hcg trigger shot on 12/10. Can you ovulate over a week later after a HCG shot? I did not have bloodwork on cd21

Hi! I took clomid 3 years ago, and on my second round we got pregnant with my wonderful daughter. Now , were trying for #2, and I just finished my first cycle and was inseminated, I was due to take pregnancy test but I started. I know it will happen, soon I hope. There is no way around the stress. Just remember your going to notice every little change in your body. Try to stay positive, and keep busy to help keep your mind on something else.

Ladies. I saw my Dr. on saturday. She suggested I start Clomid in Feb. I now my period are due for 31/01 or 01 feb. I guess I will see her on 4th feb. I will soon start with clomid. I not familiar with this. Reading through all mesages I am not sure if taking 3 rounds will be a good idea but my Dr. mentioned 3 rounds. Any insight info before I start it.

whitekitty: i believe the trigger shots make you ovulate within 36 hours of it. not quite sure though. that's what i've heard. early40: most doctors usually put women on clomid for 6 months before taking a break so 3 months will be fine. just make sure they do the bloodwork to make sure it's working before upping the dosage.
