Hey everyone, sat and read every story on this forum as im looking for the last bit of hope i can get :( My partner and i have been ttc for over 3 years now, we have an 8 year old daughter and decided 3 years ago to try again with no success. It started causing alot of problems in our relationship as i was getting very depressed and moody. January 2012 i visited my doctor and explained everything and was told i wasnt int_tled to any help as i already had my daughter to a previous relationship although my partner doesnt any children and was sent on my way very upset. In December i decided to try a different doctor who refered me to an infertility clinic and low and behold ive had my first appointment and tests etc and im getting started on clomid! I suppose im just looking for success stories as i have it in my head this isnt going to work for us. I have PCOS and take my period twice a year if im lucky. Im 13st and hoping my weight doesnt effect the clomid working???

Good morning Ladies, I hope all of you are doing well and your journey to motherhood is progressing nicely. My first Clomid trail failed so this is my second month on the medication. I'm at CD12 and I have 4 follicles one of which measured at 1.8 this morning. The other 3 are between 1.4 and 1.6. My RE has put me on estrogen tablets to help increase my lining, since the Clomid has thinned me out. We are to BD starting tonight for every second day. I know I should feel optimistic but for some reason I've been feeling really sad and frustrated, DH is very supportive but....I just don't know. It may be the Clomid that is affecting my mood, I've also been getting lots of hot flashes and bloating like you wouldn't believe. Anyway, I will continue to update you ladies on my journey. Hopefully, this will help some of you. ********Have a great day and baby dust to all*********

Good Morning Ladies, My RE gave me a shot of Ovidrel today to make me ovulate as I have 2 follicles measureing 2.4 and 1.9 respectively. We are to BD tonight and 2 days later. Its Valentine's Day so the BD is going to happen anyway. hahahah. I should ovulate within the next 24-36 hrs. I will update you all later on. Finger's crossed that we can do it this time. ********Have a fantastic Valentine's Day and Baby Dust to All****************

Good morning Ladies, I went back to my RE and he says I haven't ovulated yet, so we wait. I just want to let you know some of my side effects. I'm on Clomid 50mgs, cycle #2. I have had to urinate multiple times each night, and every time, its a lot. Now my water intake has not changed so this is really strange. Also, I'm feeling really bloated and having hot flashes. I'm the kind of person that always needs to wear socks to bed since my circulation is not all that good, but lately, I've been sleeping nude with my husband and kicking off the blankets! Its quite uncomfortable to be this hot at night. Anyway, I will post more updates when we have new developments. Hopefully BD tomorrow will be sucessful. Good luck to all of you. **********Have a great Friday and Baby Dust**********

Hi stella2013 I am also on my 2nd cycle of clomid and am currently on cd8 and this time I am having terrible hot flashes, in the day and at night. Didn't really have anything the first cycle but this ones terrible. Keep telling myself could be my month so fingers crossed for both of us!

Should have said I'm also on 50mgs day 2-6

I have PCOS and have been TTC for a little over a year. I have had three rounds of clomid 100mg and I have not OVU. either time. First two times I had to take provera to give me a period and the last time I got my period on my own. I was just wandering how many rounds did it normally take for +preg. or + ovu?

Hi bobbi2009, Good luck on this round! I hope you are successful this month. Ladies, I ovulated on Feb 15/16, however I had food poisoning on Feb 18. Have been in and out of the bathroom vomitting and with diarrhea for the past 2 days. I didn't take any over the counter medicine and only had some giner ale. I feel a lot better now and can start eating plain foods. My question is, if we were sucessful this time in conceiving, will this bout of food poisoning affect the potential baby?

I had salmanila poisoning when I was pregnant with my now 18mo old food poisoning is kinda the same I was hospitalized because I couldn't keep anything down and they knew I was pregnant food poisoning is only in your digestive system so it would affect the baby if you were pregnant :)

Hi momof6boys Thank you so much for your quick answer. I have been so worried. Well its not like I'm pregnant yet, but I'm still hopeful. Thanks again and baby dust to all

Hi guys Hope you are all well, and getting lots of good luck in conceiving. I failed my clomid attempt, and keeping fit has not even helped. I have now been trying for over 3 years, and i am so down about it all. Can't really afford IVF. Have 2 kids so i am grateful, just wanted another (bit greedy) is there any other alternative? any advice please would be appreciated. thanks x

Good morning Ladies, I saw my RE this morning for a pregnancy b/w. Spoke with him shortly thereafter. I told him that I tested at home on Sunday and got a BFN and so he said we'll try again next cycle. I was so emotional that I broke down and cried in his office. We cannot afford the CAD$12,000.00 for IVF and the stress and heartbreak is making me depressed. My RE then told me that after this cycle, I can take a few months break to relax and we can try again after when I'm ready. I really felt like he cared today, because before I left, he gave me some tissues, held my hand and said, "Stella, the most important thing for you to remember, is not to lose hope. Hope is a powerful thing that can help you overcome many obstacles. I have been doing this for many years and have seen many miracles. So don't give up on your hope." This made me even more emotional but ironically it gave me new strenght and new hope. This message is getting long, please forgive me, but I just felt like maybe some of you are also feeling down and losing energy TTC. Please lets all keep our hopes up and support each other through this journey. Have a great day ladies. Baby dust to all of you. and God bless.

Good Morning Ladies, I just wanted to drop in and let you all know that I am officially in my 2nd trimester as of Saturday. God has been doing great things in me,the baby and my husband and everything is going wonderful! Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. Ladies, you all hang in there and never give up! Easier said than done but believe me, after 8 years God has never failed me. God Bless You!
