Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi, I'm 23 and have been trying to get pregnant for about 2 years now. Since I first started my period (i was about 13 years old) They have been irregular until I was about 15 years old and I completely stopped having periods. I went to numerous doctors and was told it was normal. I was tested (blood test) for polycystic overy syndrome a couple times and was told I did not have this. Back in Sept of 04 I went to the doctor for help with getting pregant, I was then refered to a gyno who was sure I had polycystic even before he done any test. He then preformed a transv____al ultrasound wich confirmed it. He also found I had endometrial Hyperplasia and cyst in my uterus. I had a D&C (which I also found out i had a unicornuate uterus (half a uterus)) and was then sceduled for a diagnostic Laparoscopy. I had to get blood test done first and the results came back positive for pregnancy though the level was low. I had blood test done once a week for the next few weeks, the levels went up but not like they should have. The dr said it was not growing right or it was growing in one of my tubes. This was very hard to hear. We went ahead with the laparoscopy (the preganacy ended up terminating its self) and found it was not in my tube. Its been a week since that was done and right now I have to take medication for 5 days to have my period. On the 5th day of my period I am to start Clomid. The instruction paper I was given says to take a teaspoon of Robitussin twice a day on the 4th thru 7th day after the last clomid and to have intercourse on the 5th and 7th day. The reason for this long story (sorry about the length) is I was wondering if anyone might have any of the same diagnosis as me and if so are you or were pregnant, if so is/was there any complications, and if any one might know the reason for taking Robitussin?

Melissa, It is recommended that you take robitussin because Clomid can make your cervical mucus hostile and it can make it difficult for sperm to travel. I have a question for anyone, I started the Clomid two days ago for the first time. I am experiencing some side effects. I know that a headache is common, but I also have aches running down my neck. It actually hurts to turn my head. It feels like I slept the wrong way but I know that it is from the Clomid. Has anyone experienced this?

i have amnorhea which is no periods, ive beenon birth control tohave periods, stoped takin it tryin to concieve 1yr taking progesterone to have a period and will start clomid as soon as my period starts. does anyone else have this problem and my dose is 50mg will it work within the first two doses?

hi, i am on clomid for the last 2 months, still no luck. I am feared that I will get pregnant or not. If somebody has faced the same problem, let me know more about it.

I am 28 and 6 weeks pregnant thanks to clomid. I too have been having the stabbing pains in my abdomen, usually when I get up or cough. I have had a terrible cold over the last week. My question is this, my HCG levels the first test did not double, not even close. I was told that it might be a chemical pg or an ectopic. The next 3 times my levels were checked, they more then doubled. My doctor is thinking positive now. I go in tomorrow for my first u/s. Has anyone else had this experience with their HCG levels? Any thoughts? My prayers are with all of you. good luck

Fiona and Tracy- how did your appointments go??

After trying for 10 months my doctor put me on clomid yesterday to regulate my period. I searched so websites because I wasn't exactly sure what this drug was for and I'm not sure if I am reading this right. Is clomid a fertility drug?

Alicia- Yes Clomid is a fertility drug.

ive been on chlomid for 3 months now and im still not ovulating , i went to see my gp and he has told me that i have to have a camera put inside me to check my tubes but their can be some seriouse risks with this. if my tubes are damaged i will have to have ivf treatment. how much does this cost and what do they do.

Melissa, thank you so much for answering me. All of the stories on here really help me see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Its been hard the past couple of months because I found out my sis-in-law is pregnant and her and her husband only tried once. She literally got of the pill and 3 weeks later was pregnant. Believe me I am happy for her but its been hard. Anyone else ever feel this way? I'm quite embara__sed by it.

Alicia- my sister in law is pregnant as well. My husbands best friends wife is pregnant and it only took one time. Don't feel embarra__sed- after I found out that my sister in law was pregnant, I cried for three days. I am so happy for her but it was still hard. Whenever I am with her, it is difficult as well. Over the past few months though, it has gotten a little easier. You are not alone- hope that helps.

I started clomid im on day 12 now. My Dr. also put me on Estradiol and Prochieve. Has anyone else been through this cycle of medication? Why would i be put on something more thand clomid?

i am 6 wks i took 2 test it came back postive went to the doctor to get a check up he felt my b___st and examine down there to really tel me how far i was afer the exam he told me he couldn't tell from down there but how my b___st felt i felt pregant what is going on

am 6weeks how come am not experience morning sickness but i do sleep alot

Thank You Heather! I thought I was just being selfish but now I know its a natural feeling when you are trying to get pregnant.

Adriana- Estradiol and Procieve are used to help in conjunction with clomid. I, too was on the 3 drugs. I believe estradiol is another type of fertility drug. It deals with estrogen and progesterone. The procieve is used to prepare for sperm implantation. Miscarriages can be commom with clomid and the procieve is used to prevent this. I was on clomid/estradiol/procieve for 2 months. I was on just clomid for 4 months prior. Actually ran out of refills and went to the doctor for an exam. He said skip that month and start the meds again the next month. Well I had what they call a bounce back month and I actually can pregnant the month that I did not take the meds. I am now 11 weeks pregnant. Had my first dr appt last week and heard the heart beat. Good Luck to all. Let me know if you have any more questions.
