My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a while and started metformin and clomid last month. It may be wishful thinking but I feel different and am expecting my cycle to start soon. How soon could I take a pregnancy test!? This waiting game is torture!! Anyone been in this situation? How soon did you test with positive results?
I was wondering if anyone else has this problem too. I am about to start my second round of chlomid on saturday and the docs have given me my day 21 blood test results back and i did not ovulate on 1st round! I have been ttc for 1 and half years. I was wondering as i have very irregular periods some not at all, if i could still take my tablets as advised even with no period! And they will still take effect? has anybody got pregnant by doing this? thanks

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and my husband and I, whom I have been with for 5 1/2 years are ttc. I was in hope that some of you could give me a little info and help with my struggles at this point. In September of 2008 I started depo, I took three shots which ment I finished out in May of 2009, ( I did not have a period during this time, due to deop.) Then in may I was started on the pills. I took them for a month and stopped My husband and I between 2009 - 2011 (the year we got married) used the pull out method. After we got married in may 2011, we started ttc. I forgot to mention I did have normal periods BEFORE depo and since depo my periods have now slowly stopped. Anyway, From 2011 - 2012 we tried for a baby ourselves, NOTHING was working. Finally we went to our family doctor and she started me on metformin 500mg 2x's a day without doing any test to see if there could be anything else wrong with me. I thought to myself, this is a joke!?! and she was basically scamming me for money. So after finishing out 1 month of the metformin I realized I wasn't having a period, so we tought I was prego. WRONG. Nothing. I stopped taking the medicine and then now after 4 months of being off the medication I have not had a single period. No signs, no symptoms, NOTHING. We are extremely devistated and we have this 2 bedroom home that needs a baby girl or boy to fill one room!!! lol. If anyone has experience any of the following issues or knows something that could help please let me know. We are scheduled to see a OBGYN in January! Thanks
Hello, I need some help here please. I have been trying to get pregnant for 10 years, was pregnant last year and had a MC, my doctors put me clomid 50mg and this would have been my second month taking it. Last month I had a 28 day cycle, I started the second round of clomid on CD 4 which ended last week Wednesday. Two day into the treatment I started experiencing sore boobs, extreme hunger and frequent need to pee at nights. I ignore this thinking its normal did a HPT which was negative and finish the treatment. I am due for Ovulation between tomarrow and Friday and this morning I woke up feeling extremely ill, nausea, feeling like I need to vomit, dizziness and an overall weakness about the body. Tonight I feel really light headed and can hardly stand without the feeling of the floor wanting to me half way. I find it strange as this would be the 5th day since completion of the clomid treatment. Can someone tell me what is happening cause this could not be a sign of pregnancy this quickly, oh I BD this morning and my temp kept dropping since I took the last of the treatment and there is no sign of impending ovulation and my cervix is high, firm and medium with hot flashes in the night. Is this a sign of imbalance in the harmone and what can I do to correct it? I really need your help as I was unable to go to work today due to how I am feeling and this is freaking me out. Thanks
