Hi Girls,

I've been told I don't need Clomid as I already OV, I was just wondering how many of you ladies actually OV naturally?

Also why were you given Clomid ie, because you don't OV, TTC for a long time, irregular cycles, pcos etc.

Also did you all have estrogen/estradiol bloods?

Thanks!

Hey maybe baby, i was put on clomid as i wasn't ovulating, and the reason for this was i have pcos. I'm on 50mg and it seems to make me ovulate although haven't had any good results, but trying to stay postive! What's your situation?
 
Hiya, when i first started clomid i was ovulating naturally but just could not get caught, i was unexplained fertility for over a year, so i was given a number of months worth on clomid. They said this was just to make ttc easier for me, by making more eggs. They still give me clomid even though i was ovulating naturally. I think it goes by the number of months/years you have been ttc, mine was over 12mths so maybe this is why they give me them as a boost to try make it easier for me.

I never got my bfp on the clomid, however its gone in to 2yrs 6mths for me now lttc, i had a test done few months back that said i had low fertility however the month before i was diagnosed with this, i had a ultrasound scan that said i had 2 follicles on either ovary both good sizes & i ovulated, & that was on NO meds.

I never got pregnant, so since having the Amh test to test my fertility the mth later, i was given tamoxifen, they said maybe my eggs are not mature enough & need that extra help, so makes sence, i am ovulating normally from my ovary but my egg quality must not be good hence why i cant get pregnant.

The tamoxifen is like the clomid, only the clomid thins the womb lining & makes cm thicker, & its a lot harder for the sperm to get through cm like that, tamoxifen thickens the womb & gives thinner cm all the better for the sperm to swim through, so i been given this, its a estrogen type. I have had positives for 3 days on the run last week on opks, i aint had them like that so strong too in aaages! so the tamoxifen must be doing somthing good.

You can get help even though you ovulate normal, you could have the same problem as me. Have you enquired about having the AMH test done, i would have it done just to see what it comes back as, as it may be the problem for you too, see i was ovulating normally with no meds, just couldnt get caught, after all scans etc confirmend unexplained fertility, then i asked the doctor to do the AMH test he did & i was classed with the low fertility.

The do the estrogen test usually when they do Lh & Fsh & progesterone tests. Why do you need this ?
Have you had lh & fsh tests done ? I highely suggest having the Amh test done hun. xx

Thanks Joyous! :)

Star, you are a star!

Thanks for all that info, how old are you BTW as AMH seems to indicate ovarian reserve?

Should I need to worry at 29?

I think you already know my story chick, went to docs as long delays in my cycles, scan confirmed pcos, was told I wasnt ovulating and given clomid which has been a bit hit and miss.

I think I did ovulate a few times before I got the clomid but it wasnt very often.

Clomid is given to women who ovulate its not just for pcos x
 
I was put on Clomid before PCOS was diagnosed. Fertility doc suggested i dont ovulate normally on my own, or produce mature eggs. Even on 50mg Clomid im only producing 1 egg xxxx
 
Hi Chaz,

Hope you're good! :)

How did they know you weren't OVing properley?

You had pretty normal regular cycles didn't you?

Hi hun, i have just turned 32. I couldnt belive when i was told i had low fertility, at my age, hence i still ovulated with NO meds but my eggs must not be mature enough, reason i was given the fertility meds to help mature them & possible i might not of ovulated, cause there can be a follicle but no egg in it. My result for Amh was 7.1 or 7.2 & i asked when i would go through the menopause & asked if i would be in the menopause by the time i am 40 he said no. I think its based on how many eggs you actually do have, low fertility like mine could a couple of thousand eggs still who knows the exact amount, based on a Amh test, there is even lower like 2 & i have researched & found people got pregnant based on there result. There is loads of follicle sacs there on both ovarys so its maturing the eggs with meds. Worth having done though its nice to know anyway isnt it.

I thought my cycles were ok, but as they had been 26-38 days docs said they were irregular. On some cycles when i had done opk's i didnt get positive till CD21 on 1 or 2 of them and had 28 day cycle so that was dodgy.

They did no tests to confirm i wasnt OVing properly, my doc assumed, started treatment thinking we'd be preggo soon, and then my scan showed PCOS :(

Can you not ask your private Doc for a follicle tracking scan to see whats going on in there?

Im not being monitored at the min because im producing 1 egg on 50mg, i have this and 1 more cycle left before they need me to repport back if not preggo xxx
 
Hi Star, :)

I don't know if you know my story but I had 5 chemical pregnancies and I've had most tests done, it was only when I had a hysteroscopy they discovered a septum in my uterus, have you had a hysteroscopy?

Also Nurse 26 who's nearly in tri 3 had 2 M/c and she had ashermans syndrome (adhesions/damage) from previous D&Cs, all her bloods came back clear so she found out by a 3D scan.

Chaz, thanks for that Hun, hope you're good! :)
