Room for one more? I took clomid 100mg 2-6. currently on cd 15 and CBFM still reading low!!! beginning to get dispondent, so could do with a thread full of women in the same boat. my dd is almost one, she is a clomid baby (i've PCOS) i'm 30 my dh36 and this is our 3rd month ttc #2 (or #2 & 3!). I look forward to going to bed so that i can wake up & POAS! i'm also charting via fertilityfriend, i live in the UK south of London. Bring on thr BFP's! xxx

kai30 - Hey! Being grumpy every once in a while is fine, it's actually funny to notice the mood swings... Just remind dh that it's the Clomid talking :-) I would love to be carrying more than one bean. We'll soon find out (Dec 17). Can't wait to share with you girls... ***Baby Dust***

Hey all - Julix -- I have been using fertility friend to track my O. It seems to be working pretty well. I am thinking of using OPK's as well. I am not sure. With this being my first cycle of clomid, I am trying not to get worn out too quickly on tracking everything as I would hate to be exhausted with all of this too soon. Iam hearing horrible stories of conception burn out! So how long is your doc making you wait before you find out how many beans are cookin'? I knwo you said Dec. 17th, but how far along does that put you? Hopefulnicci -- there is always room for one more. Welcome to the group! I am fairly new here myself but everyone seems really nice and very helpful! Are you taking clomid monitored or unmonitored by a physician? Good luck to you either way! Lots and lots of baby dust to all!

I posted on a couple of posts here and on genral pregnancy board, but I wanted to give you some more hope here too :) My DH and I have been TTC for 19 months now. We had 4 m/c's along the way. I took clomid 50mg for CD 3 - 8(I added a day on the regular 5 day dosage..so, I took it for 6 days instead of 5). The first month I had the most horrible O pains that lasted a week and a couple days. No other s/e other than that. We did not have success that first month. The second month(beginning last month) on CD 3 - 7 I again took 50 mg a day(only 5 days this time).......we got our BFP on the 24th (yesterday). I even got my very first "Pregnant" on a digital, which I never got even with my other pregnancies. We are 4 weeks along today, and I'll see my doctor probably next week when they open after Thanks Giving. I did not think I would find my BFP this month. I didn't "feel" pregnant at all, and most of my symptoms could be attributed to my monthly time. So, the most important thing is, DON'T give up ladies! It can and will happen. Now, I am sincerely hoping that we have at least one healthy baby, but we would love multiples as well. I am a frat twin myself, I have been pg with twins although we lost one in utero as well. My great grandfather(mom's side) is part of a set of spontaneous triplets as well. So, my odds are higher than many women, and I'm hoping this time my eggs,ovaries, and uterus are good to me and have dropped more than one egg that fertilized. Good luck ladies! I'll be around to post updates, as I think support and friendship is of great importance to each of us. Baby dust to all! Wish me *sticky vibes* please, as we've suffered greatly and want a lasting healthy pregnancy. I'll keep each of you in my thoughts and positive prayers for your sticky BFP's and babies :)

Thanks for the welcome dancergirl, i'm on an unmonitored cycle this month as my consultant has been suspended!!! (shock) it's the same dose i've taken in the past, so fingers x all will be ok, but i do worry about OHSS. i've been re referred with my first appoint due 9/12/08, i hope he can just pick up from where the other dr left off. I'd be gutted if we had to start over with blood tests etc! Hoping hard to be getting a BFP by the time my appointment rolls round. Got my first high reading on my monitor this morning-YAH! (10 days since last clomid tablet!)

Good morning everyone! Thinking of you all and sending lots and lots of sticky BABY DUST!!! hopefulnicci – Welcome to the thread! As dancegirl said, there is always room for another one :-) I also took 100mg on cd2-6, have very regular cycles and always o on cd14 but this time o was late so don’t worry. I see that you got a high reading, YAY!!! Now the fun part, bd as much as you can! Dancegirl – Hey! You’re absolutely right. It is very easy to get obsessed and burned out. Listen to your gut feeling! I can’t wait for the 17 and by then I will be around 8 weeks. I don’t know if this is office policy or if they just didn’t have anything available. Can’t wait to share the news with you all! rallygirl – Happy Turkey Day for you too! I’m cooking so it will be a busy one! The hard thing now is not to tell anyone. I never thought it would be this hard. LindaS – I’m sorry about your m/c. Please count on all of us for support. You said it, girl, friendship and support is crucial! Your posting is SO positive and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m almost 6wk and, like you, didn’t think this was going to be our month. Please keep us updated! The girls on this thread are so caring and loving I can’t wait to read and post every day! Sending lots of sticky baby dust your way!

Hey girls! How’s everyone doing? Hope you guys had a terrific weekend! I’m facing a dilemma and was hoping you guys could help me out. One of my dear friends has been ttc #2 but has been unsuccessful. I love her to death and would love to share the news of my bfp but am afraid I’m going to hurt her feelings. How do you think I should approach this? ilovekids – How is your cycle going so far? I took my Clomid before going to bed and didn’t have any s/e except for feeling a little hot but it’s winter here so I couldn’t complain much… Please keep us updated! kai30 – Hey! How have you been? I took Mucinex from the day I finished Clomid until o and Baby Aspirin from the day after the day I finished Clomid until o. Hope this helps. hopefulnicci – Congrats on the peak! As for the temps, when taking Clomid, mine were all over the place. It was so confusing for me that I decided to rely on the OV-Watch alone. Hope someone else can shed some light… LOTS AND LOTS OF BABY DUST TO EVERYONE!!!

Hi girls, its cd9 for me today so i take my last clomid tonight. No s/e at all again which im pleased about :) I took 100mg on days 5-9 this time. Julix how is your pregnancy?When is your scan?

Julix - December 2

ilovekids – Hey! Hope things are great with you! Thanks for the advice about my friend. I actually talked to her today and she was extremely happy! Will you be doing the Mucinex and Baby Aspirin? Please keep us posted! kai30 – Hello! Grumpiness is all part of it! LOL! I was a little sensitive. Like, McDonald’s commercials would make me cry… AFM, weirdly, I’m not feeling any pg symptoms today. It’s so weird… I hope everything is ok but will only find out on my first appt. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this is a sticky one!!! Lots of Baby Dust to all!!!
