I've been following just nothing to say since the hubs and I decided to wait until jan to start. Is there any good news?! Blessed how did your test go?

 

BlessedMommy - September 13

Well no need for a test :( AF came right on time cd28. Since I know for certain we ovulated and from both ovaries my guess is that the clomid thinned the lining of my uterus. My CM was the fertile EWCM so I don't think that was the cause of not conceiving. So I will be taking the baby asprin this cycle to hopefully keep good blood flow to my uterus. Yesterday was cd3 and I am still taking 100mg this cycle. I am not looking foward to the headaches ugghhh! But God knows best and I guess having the babies due in June will work out better for school! Trying are you starting this month maybe we'll be cycle buddies! Mine came in a burnt orange almost brown blister packets. on the back up them is typed Fertomid and in smaller typed font it says "this packet contains 50mg of clomifene citrate store in dark cool place" etc...There is a white line down the middle of one side and 50 on the other...they are not pure white but a slight off white but if you google what they pills description is it does say the same off white color. Are yours the same?

clomidtwins - September 14

Hello ladies!!! You have no idea how mentally draining it has been for me to try to find Clomid. I live in Canada and have a 6 month old baby boy (as well as a 7 yr old daughter) and I have gone from doctor to doctor almost begging to prescribe me Clomid trying to avoid doing it on my own and the response is always the same... "You're fine" "Try to get pregnant on your own for at least a year and then we'll see" "Sorry but since you already have children we don't think you need Clomid" "you don't want twins" and bla, bla, bla, bla..... They think that because I already have a new baby, that I'm not interested in having anymore, that "nature" should take its course and that even if it takes 3 yrs to get pregnant again, that's fine!!!!!! WTF???? If I didn't have my new baby and went to the f-king doctor with the lame excuse that I can't get pregnant, he defenitely would prescribe me Clomid but when I'm being honest that I want it for the purpose of having twins, then he may think I'm crazy!!!!!!!!!! So I have gone to endless places on the internet asking other women to help me find Clomid, most of the time my posts have been ignored and other times women have been selfish claiming they have clomid left over but just won't sell it to me etc, etc. What I'm trying to say is that I find it so extremely upseting how people (doctors included) won't try to helf fertile women like us to have more children. In my case I want Clomid for the sole purpose of having twins (save the preaching) and the argument is always the same..... "why do you want twins?" "you just had a baby!".... Well tough luck, my husband and I will be the one supporting our children, what do you care? Yet it is sooooooooo f-king easy to find doctors and women that want to help other women have abortions, they quickly raise to the occa__sion and start offering them medication, giving them tons of information and who knows what. That's just plain f-ked up and it really makes me angry. Like I was saying, I have gone to endless places in search of the F-king Clomid and NOTHING!!! I never wanted to order online just in case they send me something that isn't clomid (not to mention that they won't allow it to enter the country) and as you can imagine it has been a loooooooong exhausting journey, I wanted to be pregnant by now but I'm not hoping for that to happen until I get the medication!!! Finally when all hope seemed gone, I went to a last source and a friend of mine has found the darn pills for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm jumping from joy!!!! I have sooooooo much faith that I will conceive my twins, she just wrote me yesterday and my period is in about 10 days, I'm not sure that I can get it on time but at least there's hope that next month I'm gonna try to get pregnant while on Clomid!!!! Ladies, I am the happiest woman there is. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to be the mother of twins and something tells me I will get my own set (wouldn't boy/girl be nice?) I'm doing it my way since nobody cared to monitore me, how's that for hope?

Boygirltwin let us know as soon as you get your BFP! I can't wait to hear the good news! I think another thing that messed us up was that we only BD on cd 13-17 to try to sway for boys but I know the most fertile days are a couple before ovulation so we will definetely BD more frequent this cycle! Hey clomidtwins! Love your story! Hopefully we all get our twin prayers answered!! What cd do you plan on taking it and what dosage?

 

clomidtwins - September 14

BlessedMommy, my friend just told me she found the medication in an emai but didn't say what dosage. I already sent her a reply and I'm hoping to find out more soon. I'd prefer 100mg, but 50mg would be ok too. I have read so much information as to when is best to take it and I guess I have decided to take it in the middle, days 4-8. Do you think that's a good idea? I'm so exited!!

 

a.amanda - September 20

Hello ladies! Ive been reading the post and would love to join so i too could have a buddy through this crazy, exciting process! Well I am on cd10 and took clomid 50mg fays 3-7...I had no side-effect? everyone always complains of pain,nausia, moodswings...anyone else symptom free? I am so excited hoping for baby #3...(hopefully baby 3 and 4) I am aiming for a summer baby(s)so i can still attend nursing school. Good luck to us all!!!

 

clomidtwins - September 21

welcome a.amanda. How nice to hear that you had no side effects! When will you be finding out if you got pregnant? I hope that you can get what you are looking for and yes, getting pregnant around this time will give you a baby (babies) in the summer. I am hoping to also get pregnant and have my baby(s) during the summer months. I am finishing my period today and didn't get my clomid on time, so I guess I'm trying next month. Please let us know how you're doing, I've read that taking clomid earlier gives you higher chances of multiples, I'd like to know if that's your case. Good luck!!

 

a.amanda - September 21

clomidtwins: I really hope clomid will in crease my chances. I took out my merina of 3 1/2 years and i know forsure i ovulated on both sides. As far as a pregnancy test? how soon can I take one? What days do I take the baby asprin and the mucinex? Im a bit confused as to the days? What days do you plan on starting your clomid and how many mg? I really hope your clomid comes on time! it would be nice to have a buddy! =) where did you order your pills from? im using my mom's leftover clomid and i only have a 1 month suppy. I want to order from medsmex but I have heard alot of positive feed back and alot of negative? Twin luck to us all!!

 

clomidtwins - September 22

Trying to find clomid was so hard for me, nobody wanted to help me get it but finally a friend of mine found them for me and I am waiting for it to arrive by mail. I hope that they arrive for sure because I've heard that they can be confiscated or whatever since I live in Canada. I'm not sure how many mgs it is but 50 would be ok, I was hoping for 100 though. I'm just finishig my period today so I'm trying for October and I'm hoping that I can get pregnant on the first round... but we will see. I really hope that clomid increases both our chances at conceiving twins, that would defenitely be a dream come true for me. I'm planing to take it on days 4-8 to try to increase my chances and I'm trying to find out more about what else to take like aspirin, etc. It would be nice to have a buddy like you said!! Good luck to all!

 

BlessedMommy - September 22

a.amanda we are cycle buddies lol..im cd 12! i took 50mg 3-7 also but me and hubby decided to wait till i finish nursing school for the twins so we are not bding...i wish we would have decided sooner so i wouldnt have wasted a cycle of clomid. But you should be taking the asprin now until bfp to increase blood flow to uterus. We didn't concieve first cycle and I think it was because i didnt take the asprin but we just took it as a sign that we need to wait till im done with school. you most likely will concieve twins because everyone else i know who took clomid got them!!! :) Even though me and hubby are waiting I'm still praying that you all get your twins and b__wing baby dust to everyone! I will still log on to see how everyone is doing!!

 

BlessedMommy - September 22

clomidtwins you take the asprin from day after you finish clomid so for you it would be cd 9 all the way to bfp.....mucinex can be taken to increase CM from cd 9 until ovulation. clomid didn't really dry me up but i still used the preseed when we bd just to be sure. only side effects i had were the worse migraines ever!

 

BlessedMommy - September 22

oh one more post lol...im extremely sad that we are waiting...I was so excited to be pregnant again and now i'm having to wait for another two years :( I know it will be for the better but still that is a looonggg time! I will try to live vicariously through you ladies lol so yall better get prego with some babies soon!!! lol

 

a.amanda - September 26

BlessedMommy this is too funny...the hubby and i also decided to wait untill I finish nursing school!! LOL I removed my IUD in june and last month I O by myself from both sides in july and this month i took the clomid and no O...I guess it was my body telling me my brain had bigger plans :( Iam very sad because I was very excited to be prego again, but it would not be fair to myself by DH, or my kids. I would have been so wrapped up in school and my time at home would probaly be spent studying. I guess I will be trying around the same time as you BlessedMommy...

 

BlessedMommy - September 27

Well hopefully we will be cycle buddies too then!!! Thats good that you decided to wait as well...We may be sad right now but trust me we will be grateful that we waited once we are head deep in our clinicals and etc....when are you applying?

 

Trying4twins - September 30

Hi Ladies, sorry I've been missing again. Baby started daycare and she is sick all the time! I'm so tired of sleepless nights and it's so tough to see my baby in pain. :( My pills look totally different, the package does say 100mg but the pills dont. The pills are just white with a line in the middle. The package says made in mumbai india and the name is clomiphene. Do you guys think I should just buy another set of pills and not risk taking these because they look so different? We are postponing ttc too because of the pills and the baby getting sick so much.
