The Clomid Thread - 6 BFP's!

[Blueflower]

How long was it down for? It really confused me! I might be 6dpo if there was an o!

hey all just a wee question for you all if like me and you don't have periods and your supposed to take clomid on days 2-6, then how do you take it?

 

[eclairef]

Hi yummymummy, your doctor normally gives you some sort of progesterone tablets to bring a period on - I received provera to take for 5 days then around 3 days after finishing this a period started. If you haven't got anything, I would speak to your doctor.

I am cd 6 of my first cycle on clomid took last tablet this evening. I am wondering if anyone has ever had stomach cramps whilst taking the clomid not just when ovulating. I have had horrible cramps for 2 days now. Thought it was too much Christmas food but I have barely eaten since xmas day now. I have had nausea, heartburn and the cramping. I thought it might be a tummy bug but not so sure. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I didn't have any side effects from taking clomid but I have definitely heard of other ladies getting hot flashes, nausea etc so it could well be from the clomid. Fx that means it's working? Are you getting monitored with scans? I can recommend the digi opks - they are expensive but def worth it to know what's going on xx

 

[crazycatlady]

I have digi opks to start using in a couple of days but only cd 6. Have scan on Thursday (cd 12). Still not convinced about what these cramps are. Thanks for advice.

 

[Belfa]

Good luck for your scan, I have one on the following Monday (6th) and ordered more digi ovulation tests last night x

 

[crazycatlady]

Turns out my bf and her family had a bug with symptoms like mine and we spent xmas eve with them. Relieved it's not the clomid as I'm not sure I could do it again. On plus side I don't seem to have had any clomid side effects then. Roll on Thursday's scan.

 

[crazycatlady]

Good luck for yours Belfa x

 

[Londongirl]

Good luck ladies xx

 

[Belfa]

How did you scan go CCL?

 

[Babyanna]

I've just got my AF following my second round of chlomid and I'm finding the pain unbearable. Has anybody else found that? I literally can't do anything but lay with a hot water bottle...x

 

[Chazabell]

I hated Clomid, the periods killed me. I remember doubling over I. Agony after leaving the cinema and I was bleeding past my super tampon. Never again!!

Keep your feet up and try and relax chick, hot water bottle, trash magazine and hot chocolate xx

Hi Belfa -At scan on 2nd they found no mature follicles so want me back this week. I can't make it until weds. I got a +digi opk on cd11 (rather odd) and a flashing smiley today so hopefully that was a fluke and I will ov in the next few days. I will know more by weds. Just need to keep dtd.

 

[yummymummy80]

hey just needed to ask what time of the day do you do a digi ovulation test?

 

[Londongirl]

I did them first thing with fmu xx

 

[crazycatlady]

I generally do them after work.

 

[crazycatlady]

This got me thinking so just checked online and the new cb duel hormone ones (which I am trying this cycle) need fmu - so will do them first thing from tomorrow.

 

[Blueflower]

I heard that FMU usually contains FSH (or is it LH?!) every day so its best to do them later in the day. I try to do them with 2MU so that its still fairly concentrated! Sometimes I do them after work but its hard not drinking plenty of water like I usually do!

 

[yummymummy80]

well I got the new clearblue digi dual hormone indicator and it requires fmu so been doing that but not got a smiley face yet however I have my scan today so we will see what happens
