Great thread.

I have PCOS and we've been trying to conceive for about 4 years. I've lost count to be honest. We lost 2 early pregnancies last March and June. At the time EPAU said that my progesterone was too low. The first loss was a miscarriage and the second was ectopic but needed no surgery, just blood monitoring. I've since has a dye test and my tubes are all clear.

Following this, I was given 50mg clomid for 3 months. I did 2 months then my periods disappeared. I went back to my consultant and the 2 'day 21 blood tests' showed progesterone of 20 in month one and 1 in month two!

He has given me 7 days of 10mg provera (which I've just finished) to start my periods and then 100mg clomid for 3 months. I wish I could be positive but I feel like I've just been fobbed off for another 3 months and I feel like time is slipping away.

I'm dieting at the moment because I'm much more regular and we conceived, when I was at a healthy weight.

We were using the clear blue ovulation monitor and that was when we fell pregnant. I had very obvious ovulation peaks but guess my hormones weren't right after that to support the pregnancy. I'm really unclear of the science. Hoping some reading of this site will help :)

I've used this forum before but I really want to start using it properly. I shy away from it, especially when I get bad news. I feel like my close friends are bored of listening to me now.

Does anyone have similar experiences? I'm just ranting but it's helping.

Hi there ladies, it's so great to actually read some info. on Clomid as my GP discussed this drug with me a few weeks ago but I've been totally in the dark about it until now.
I went for an ultrasound nearly 2 weeks ago to see if I've got PCOS, I should hopefully get my results this Thursday.
I'm new to the forum so can anyone please give me some kind of key for the abbreviations I should expect to see used on here? Obviously I know TTC and BFP but that's pretty much it! lol
Also, I haven't had a period now for 127 days and to be honest I don't know if there is anything I should be tracking...now this may sound stupid but..can you ovulate without a period? Please excuse me if that sounds like a really dense question! I just wondered, should I be tracking my temperature or anything like that?
I'd really appreciate some advice and support as fingers crossed, I will be prescribed clomid come Thursday and this is quite nerve racking for me and the OH.
Also, what are the chances of conceiving 'multiples' when on clomid?

Many thanks!
 
Hi hun and Welcome to the forum:) You can find a list of all the abbreviations here:

http://www.pregnancyforum.co.uk/forum-support/111142-abbreviations-lingo-explained.html

I have PCOS too so I'm taking 50mg of Clomid days 2-6. Before the Clomid I could go anything from a 45-90 day cycle, and I'm sure I've heard that if you go over 45 days then you probably haven't ovulated. 127 days is a long time without a period, can you speak to your Doctor about being prescribed something like Provera to induce it?

I only began taking my temperature and charting when I began with the Clomid, basically you take your temp at same time every morning with a Basal Thermometer, this is more accurate as it records to two decimal places. You put these on your chart everday, I use www.fertilityfriend.com, and when there is a higher temperature shift for 3 days consistently then this shows you ovulated. Once ovulation is has definately occurred Fertility Friend will confirm this. I'm not sure off the top of my head the chance in percentage of conceiving multiples although I do know its higher.

Good luck hun, I hope this helps and if there is anything else just ask :) x
 
Thanks for your reply, it was all very helpful! I went to the Drs Thursday just gone and he confirmed from my ultrasound scans that I do in fact have PCOS. It's scary but at least I know whats going on with my body! It's now been 133 days with no period :( but I have been prescribed clomid by my GP (3 months worth), I have some blood tests this Friday morning and then I can start taking the clomid! The GP has also referred us to a fertility specialist too and I am so happy with how our doctor has dealt with all of this he has been so helpful. So fingers crossed we can actually make some progress! :)
 
At least you are getting somewhere hun, its ashame its had to go this far, but progress is always good!! What cycle days have you to take the clomid? Have you been prescribed anything to bring on your period? My first clomid cycle was monitored via scans and bloods so I knew it worked first time round. Fx you get your BFP soon x
 
Basically because I haven't had a period for so long, I have just been told to start taking the clomid as soon as I've had the blood tests done for the fertility specialst and take it for 5 days, focus intercourse around day 14 (counting from the first day of taking the clomid). If by day 28, I've had a period, start another lot of clomid on day 2, if not take a pregnancy test. This is all new for me so to be honest I'm just going by the doctors instructions. I'm looking forward to seeing the fertility specialist to clear up all the questions I have and to give my fiance and I some proper insight into our situation. My fiance also has to provide a 'sample' for analysis, it would be just our luck if we find he has problems too! But I mustn't think like that, I need to be positive! :) .x.
 
Yeah hunni, best to stay positive, I'm sure everything will be fine with your OH. My doctor was very helpful to but you'll see the difference in speaking to someone with expertise in that area. If you have any questions for them I would try and write them down as I thought I had loads of questions but when I actually got to my appointment I was so overwhelmed with all the new information etc that I forgot what I wanted to ask xx
