Clomid success stories needed?!
just taken my last pill (day 5) for this month! First time we’ve tried clomid and now the wait to see how many eggs I have made in my scan next week. Then the wait for ovulatio! Some success stories or anyone in the same boat as me would be lovely 😊
thanks! 👶🏼👶🏼👶🏼

I am starting in October’s cycle because I am on holiday in September and am afraid it is going to make me feel really rubbish all holiday. I didn’t realise you have to take it the next cycle after it has been prescribed?
i had my first round monitored. Went through baseline ultrasound first then after taking clomid had an ultrasound which showed 16mm follicle (was small in size) then progesterone test 70 level of progesterone. But BFN and period came.
2nd and 3rd cycle are not monitored but doses were not up. So in 3rd round of clomid . if 3rd round didnt give me success i will be asked for tubal check.
So if you are TTC for long and don't wanna waste another month take clomid. It's not sure whether you get bad symptom. I was fine whole three cycle other than some mild cramping and indigestion. So, it's really upto you.
I have not been ttc for very very long at all. Just 2 months, but I have PCOS and have had 2 day 21 blood tests the passed two months which showed no ovulation so am having anovulatory cycles. I’ve had my tubes checked which are all fine, my OH has had a semen analysis done. His results come back and sperm count is good just morphology (shape) is 3.5% and they like it to be 4% but his urologist said that because everything else’s is fine they aren’t too worried.
I have been on metformin for over for over a year and not been on any birth control for years so that’s why my gyno has decided to put me on Clomid so quickly after Ttc.
Fingers crossed the 3rd cycle works for you, how long have you been trying for? I am not having a scan on my first cycle my gyno just advised doing the day 21 blood test to see if it’s working.
I also had anovulation cycle for many years maybe. Because i got pcos since 2012 at age of 25 and but started taking birth control pill as got married. So periods were never up to date since then. Last year trying since April got Duphaston estrogen meds but it didnt helped. So now on metformin from last year nov and now getting periods. Cycles are sometime regular and irregular. So was put in clomid in May but it didnt worked for me. So lets see how much time will it take.
But i will still suggest you take clomid. Don't worry about side effects. You are already on metformin so it will not effect you much.
I dont know why you didn’t have a HSG before going onto clomid, my Gynaecologist put me through all the blood tests, hsg and an internal scan to check ovaries etc before he put me into Clomid. Luckily they all come back fine accept obviously the blood tests the past two months were low progesterone, and I do have PCOS but no cysts on ovarys just elevated testerone.
I have a good feeling about Clomid for me cos I do ovulate some times on my own.. and Iv recently increase my metformin dosage to 1500mg so hoping this helps! 🤞🏻 Will you still have another 3 cycles of Clomid after your HSG?
Metformin has really helped my periods regulate, but when I first went on them my side affects were awful, felt nauseous all the time, tired, no energy. So my dr kindly put me on the slow releasing ones and since then I have been absoloutley fine.
I have upped my dosage to 1500mg last Friday from being on 1000mg for 1 year, and I’ve gone off my food and had no energy but they do say that is a side affect & will ware off. What Metformin do you take slow release or fast?
Do you think you have more chances of conceiving with Clomid when you’ve been taking Metformin then?
I am still waiting until October - I want to go away in September on my holidays and take a month out of thinking about TTC and de stress adventure it’s all I’ve been able to think about all year. And then come back fresh headed and start.
It is nothing to be scared of honestly, it doesn’t hurt. I didn’t even find it uncomfortable tbh, it’s like a smear. The only thing I didn’t like is all the nurses/drs that had to go down there as they said my cervix was in a lower position so the dr had to position the clamp so there was 3 heads down there a time one time so was very intrusive but was over before I knew it. And is well worth it as apperently it flushes your tubes! And they tell you there and then if they are blocked or not.
