Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello Virgo79. I feel the same way, me and my husband is 30 and 31 years old and we are TTC with our 1st child.We been married for 10 years and been trying for sometime now. It does get hard and many times I become stressed out because everyone around me is having children even younger teens. I just sit back and pray for my turn, I am happy to see that I am not alone in this process also. I started my 1st round of clomid on the 5th of March and today is day 14 of my cycle that my doctor said we should start to make love. 14-19. I checked was i ovulating and I was NOT but we still made love just in case. I wish you the best and I am glad i found this site. GOOD LUCK..

Hello Mclaurin, I did not have any luck in Dec. when I took another 50mg of Clomid. So my doctor up my dosage for 100mg for Jan. I bought a ovulation kit that showed the happy or sad face. I took one on the 22nd of Jan and it showed a : ) and we TTC as soon as I saw it. I didn't have my period on the 7th of Feb so I bought a pregnancy test just for fun. When I took it the results were a very light pink with two lines. I thought I was seeing things. I called my bf at work and told him and he saw the test when he got home. I called to make. me a doctors app. and their results were positive. I was so happy. I went for my 1st ultrasound the end of Feb. I go. next Fri for my 2nd ultrasound because it was so tiny. I'm. now about 8wks. So happy! But my advice to u is don't give. up because I was when the first two rounds of 50mg. didn't work but when I did the 100mg on the 3rd time it. worked. I'm praying that the first time works for u. Its very stressful I know, I had to hear everybody elses news about their pregnancy. Don't give up, I know its easier said than done but I just went thru what ur going thru now. Please keep me updated. Good Luck!!

Hello Virgo70 Congratulations, that is some good news, and thanks for sharing it. I am so happy for you and yes I am not going to give up I always said I wanted children after I get a college degree and last week I did that so I am extra ready for a baby to start my family. I am the only one out of my siblings that does not have children and my husband is the same. Everyone always asking us when we are going to have some babies not knowing that we been trying for some time now. I just really want to experience all of the joy that comes with being a mother, I give so much love to my nieces and nephews I would love to share that with my own baby also. I will not give up, I told myself that I would try this clomid for the six cycles and then after that I am going to stop and try again later in the future. Again I wish you the best and congrats on your blessing. Keep me posted on the ultrasound..

Hello Mclaurin, Sorry I havent been on in awhile. But I went and had my 2nd ultrasound done and I could actually see the baby this time than when I went before. I go for my 3rd dr. visit the 20th of this month. But I think its to early to know what I'm going to have. It maybe around the end of May before they can tell but we'll see when I go back in a couple of wks. Did you have any luck in March? I hope so, if not like I said in the beginning dont give up cause I know EXACTLY how u feel. I will post again in 2wks 2 let u know what's happening for my 3rd ultrasound. Still praying for a BOY!!!!

Hi, I just wanted to share my Clomid story so far. I ended up going to a gynotologits for my ovarian cysts and had told her that I had been ttc for almost 2 years. I also had been using a digital ovulation predictor for the past 3 months and even with a positive smile, your ovulating. No pregnancy. She told me I had a pulp in uterus, set me up for an MRI and put in a referral to a fertility clinic. It was the best decisions. They set my husband and I up for testing right away. I had my MRI, Sonohysterogram and hysterosalpingogram done. Turns out that aside from the pulp in my uterus and a cyst....both of my tubes were blocked. One let the fluid in but nothing out and the other was blocked from the start. Most likely from the surgical removal of the appendix I had done in high school. The doc had thought it was unhealthy and I had to sign consent for removal. So I had my operation to have everything done at once. I was so happy read a note in the recovery room that they removed the pulp and they were able to successful unlock both fallopian tubes. I did find out I have sever endometriosis. After my recovery I went back to the fertility clinic to discuss options. Even though I do ovulate on my own each month the doc wanted to take an aggressive approach. Since I had been trying for so long she immediately went over the treatment option. I'm on Clomid 50 starting on day 3 of my cycle. I have the cycle monitoring. I strongly recommended it because with the ultrasounds and blood tests you are really prepared. If your not doing IUI they will instruct you to begin having daily intercourse and when needed give you the medication that will cause you to release your egg in a timely manner. I got the ok to start Clomid on day 3 of my cycle. I went for my monitoring on day 10 and the nurse was in shock. She said I had alot of follicles and wanted me to wait to speak to the doc after saying we don't want you to have 5 babies! Turns out my body is very sensitive to Clomid. So much that they want me to take half the dose so 25. I had 4 on my right side and 1 on the left. She said they wanted me to come in the next morning for another ultrasound and blood work. They wanted to see if the 5th would mature like the others and warned me if it did, they would tell me to skip the cycle and not continue with the timed intercourse. I went in the next day and found out that not only had the 4 grown in 24hrs but the side that had 4 now have 5 mature and the other side with the one had stayed the same. My normal doc had told me the day before, it is not encouraged but would be my decision if I wanted to still continue with natural intercourse. She warned me that the doc I would see today would tell me to cancel that plan if I had 5 mature the next day. She told me I would ovulate today or tomorrow and not to have intercourse. Since I already had she told me not to stress out and that if I had a positive test at the end of the month she would Schedule and early ultrasound. I don't know if anyone has had similar experience?. I did struggle with the decision of whether to continue with intercourse or skip this cycle. I am a twin myself and I know all about the increased risk of multiples. This Journey has been a long and at times a hard one but I know it will all be worth it in the end. I am Very Fortunate to have 0 side effects from the Clomid. I have read some people have not so great reactions to it. Fortunately it wont be a long wait to see how this cycle does turn out. It is out of my hands but I will continue to hope and pray. To everyone still trying on Clomid don't give up and if you can try cycle monitoring through a fertility clinic. I strongly recommended it. Good luck to everyone
