Some questions about Clomid, swaying pink, and twins!!

[Houseofblue]

I know there is a sticky for women swaying with Clomid (and I read through most of it),but I have some very specific questions:

1. How does Clomid sway pink?

2. If my dh already has low T and SC, will using Clomid increase or decrease our odds of a BFP?

3. Is it bad to use if you're 35+? I'm 36.

4. Is it hard to get from your OBgyn? How do you ask for it?

5. What are the observed chances of twins on this board, with Clomid? I know stats say 8-10% but that is for people who are going through IF, right? Since this will be my last PG I would love twins (and yes, I know they come with risks), and honestly I would even rather have twin boys (even though I want to sway pink) than just 1 more boy lol.

6. How bad are the side effects really?

7. What are the best swaying techniques to use with Clomid (don't want to do extreme stuff or douches or anything, my CM is already pretty nonexistent lately).

8. A few months ago I started having definite signs of estrogen dominance- nigth sweats on O and day before/1st day of AF, heart palps etc. Started taking fish oil and all the symptoms went away (yeay!). I now know fish oil sways blue but it really helps my hormones- should I stop, and can one take it with CLomid or will it affect the sway?

Whew!! So many questions LOL. Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer the book I just wrote lol!!

Hi Boymom! :) Are you thinking about trying clomid to sway?? I'm wondering how hard is it to get from an obgyn? Hope someone answers *our* questions!! ;)

ETA: Just noticed you have twins- I'm so jealous! :) How do you like it???? Are they identical or frat??

I stopped Ov and doctor ran several tests on me and that's how I've had Clomid for two months. I have no clue how it sways. My first month on it I had hot flashes and this past month on it I had zero symptoms ;) and it was at a higher dose.

Houseofblue--I already have the clomid, i started today. It wasn't hard because i've been ttc a while and am older. She wanted my dh checked first and he was checked and was shown normal. I really don't want twins again though! It's great now, but at first it was rough. But i also had a 2 1/2 year old. They're fraternal. I got pregnant right after a miscarriage so i'm sure that's why i got two. I don't think i'm a multiple ovulator by nature, so i'm trying not to freak about the clomid! I'm really not swaying at all other than some diet soda here and there and trying to cut back on protein. That's all i will do.

lovemy2, GL with clomid, hope it works for you soon! :)

[Houseofblue]

Boysmom, how old are you? I'm 36.
I'm gonna be doing light-ish swaying too (some diet changes and supps etc).
GL!! :))))

1)explanation here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/1191-clomid.html

2)hard to say because while you'll possibly release more eggs, your CM will be worse and it may end up as a toss up

3)i do not recommend it for over 35 because it can raise fsh, but some doctors do prescribe it and some people have tried it with various levels of results.

4)depends on doctor, some hand it out freely and others really won't give it even to those who legitimately need it. does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I would not go in asking for clomid because they hardly ever give it in that scenario. you need to go in because you want to get pg and aren't able to, not because you're looking for clomid. I woudl not even mention the word clomid.

5)I dont' know and don't have time to add them up. several sets of twins including many who did not have happy endings. :(

6)vary by individual

Thanks atomic, so after reading #3 and #5 above, do you think it's better to not even try clomid (me)?

[atomic sagebrush]

if you have your FSH levels checked and they are ok, then it's probably ok to use for people in the 35-37 age range. I'm wary for those 38 and up.

Re the twins, I really used to think the risks were overblown but just giving it to you straight, we have had way more sad stories than happy ones with the twins (and it's not just Clomid, natural twins too) so I have to be the "bad guy" and mention that it's really a dangerous situiation not to be taken at all lightly.
