Hey ladies, was just pondering Maybe's suggestion of this thread and thought it'd be a good idea for us to sort of pool our info together and see if we can give any help to each other through our own experiences.
I'll start...
Why am I on Clomid? - Consultant found cysts on ovaries and said I wasn't ovulating but everything else (bloods, HSG etc) looked good and DH's semen analysis was great so only issue being OV, I was given Clomid to boost it.
How much am I on? - Consultant started me on 100mg which he said is for 6 cycles if we need it but he seemed very positive and said he doesn't expect to see us again which I felt was really encouraging but also a bit scary!!
When do you take it? - I take mine on CD2 til CD6.
Any side effects? - I've been really emotional, blubbering at everything! Tired and have had a headache or two! Also hot flushes..!!
Did it help OV? - Shortened my cycles from over 100 days right down to 31-34 days which is fantabulous, plus I've had mega positive ov tests so I *assume* I'm ovving but as I wasn't monitored, this wasn't technically confirmed...Although the regular cycles are a good sign!
If you had long cycles, did it help reduce them? - Yes (see above) I didn't need to use any of the Norethisterone that I was prescribed, which is really good. My AF arrived naturally and was always a proper bleed so all good signs.
Was Clomid a success for you? - We'll see!!
Of course you can add your own info if you want to. Hopefully this will get a bit of discussion going and other members who are on Clomid will be able to get some use out of this thread.
**I'll try and add in any BFP's from Clomid, if you want to be added let me know what dosage you were on, cycle number/round number and I'll add you!**
