Clomid worked too well!!
Hi Ladies,
Well just an update (if anyone is interested) this is my first month using clomid and I was put on 100mgs a day. I have been for my scan today to track the follicles and it has worked too well - I have 5 follicles on one ovary and nothing on the other. So we have been told to abstain from sex as obviously the chance of havving 5 babies is too risky.
I have to continue on 100mgs for next month as the nurse thinks I may react differently if the other ovary kicks into action and give me the preferred 1-3 follicles, so a bit gutted that I cant do anything about it this month but happy it is working.
I am slighly concerned as I will ovulate in the next 24 hours and we bd'd last night and the night before. we told the nurse this but she said theres not much we can do about that and just avoid sex until next af.

I am very glad its worked would have been awful if there wasnt a single one. My sister said ooh you could make a heap from tv and magazines, but still dont think it would be enough to cover the cost of five babies! lol!
Definitely in the hand of the gods now, I will def be staying away from hubby for the next couple of weeks and just hope that the zinc i've put him on hasnt worked too well!

Only 11 days and counting until my "Clomid" appt with Consultant!
Wow 11 days thats not long - where in your cycle will you be at that point hun? We should start a thread for clomid users once you start taking them as there doesnt seem to be that many people on here on clomid.

thank you for the welcomes!
I'll be taking 50mg from my feb AF, can't start this month as will be away when I'd need to be scanned.
I am taking it ready to start IUI.
But hoping the clomid will do the trick on it's own!
Good luck all......

Am not on clomid yet but it has been offered to me. Am beginning to wonder if I am just procrastinating over the whole thing. My concern is if it doesn't work what will they suggest next. Then, in a truly girly way, I think what if it does work? Am I ready for that?! Not helpful, I know!!! In fact - plain daft!!!
Do you mind if I join in the chat?!
I'm glad just the one course of provera did the trick for me, phew. I often wonder what the hell my body is thinking, or what the hell my body thinks that I'm doing to it!!!
Does seem clomid has lots of positive resuts on here-MrsAd. I googled it and came up with another site where there was some negativity about it, but turned out it was just one person mouthig off and talking a load of pants, so I'll just stick to this one from now on! Lots of encouragement.
I'm in one last ditch attempt at a natura BFP at the mo. Only had faint lines from my opk's in this cycle, so I'm stuffing my face with soya mince tonight in a bid to encourage ovulation. Or at least see if it does ANYTHING!
I've read a similar negative posts on another forum but I just think dont bother taking notice of them they wind me up.
I wouldve loved to have a 'natural' successful pregnancy but my body has worked against me so clomid it is.
Windy - I dont know if you remember but a few months ago you told me about the soya and I started drinking soya milk and also started accupuncture and I got af not long after so go for it and if you can book yoursef in for an accupuncture session I swear it helped to bring on my af - turns out I didnt ov that time but if it brings on af then surely its a good thing.
I'm sure this is going to be a stressful few months for us all but so glad there are others going through the same thing. Good luck ladies!

Interesting point about metformin. I am on my first month of it. Have found the side effects have reduced themselves to night times only. I am also finding that certain foods are worse than others. Am keen to stick with it if I can.
Yeah, Munchie, I thought CBFM couldn't work if your cycles are longer than 40 days (or less, can't quite remember, but I read it on the CB site).
MrsAd! Glad the soya worked for you. I'm convinced it messed up my hormones when I ate it throughout my cycle, so I'm having a binge on it for 3days in the hope of tricking my body into thinking its just about to ovulate! Had a reasonable line on my OPK today, so you never know!
Any horrid symptoms yet, girlies? xx
Munchie - I really dont think that the cbfm will be of any use to you hun, it only asks for 20 sticks in any cycle so unless you were really lucky to ov in those 20 days it wouldnt work.
I've not had any horrid symptoms yet apart from the continuing hot flushes. my (.y.) are really sore (Specifically my nips) but know that I get this after ov, even without the clomid. I've no idea when af is due as I know clomid is used for ladies with an LP defect so not sure whether it will lengthen mine and I think its normally 12 days.
wm - hope the soya works for you hun, your appointment date is getting closer - whoop whoop!
