My story - a complete honest account

Thank you fatihinpink how are you going?

Thought I'd better add that my ob did what blood testing she could this latest bfp to rule out any medical problems?? Everything came back ok so we have assume its just poor egg quality. Hoping for that golden one to pop next couple cycles. I had been taking clomid cd3-7 in a few previous cycles (not consecutively) but I've read that taking it that early increases egg numbers but taking later, say cd5-9 improves egg quality? Does anyone know if there's any science to that?

Hi pbn3 - apparently that's right about clomid. I always took it days 2-6 to get more eggs rather than quality (was 26 years old when on clomid so not really a quality issue). Later days 5-9 And even 6-10 are for egg quality but typically you only get one egg.

Thank you dancingdiva. My ob put me on 3-7 after my ovarian reserve came back low, from memory Jan/feb? last year amh was 1.8 and fsh 28. However I have gotten pregnant 3 times this last 12 months and believe quality rather than quantity is the issue. I was thinking of taking the clomid days 4-8 first cycle then 5-9 the following.....

Good to hear from you PBN and I am glad that you are feeling a lot more positive. Sorry about your recent loss.

I don't know if taking clomid too much later is a good idea for you as you do have earlier ovulation. Perhaps try cd4-8? I'm not sure how much difference it really makes to egg quality. DS1 was conceived with 5-9 clomid but I also had a m/c with another 5-9 cycle. This one was from taking it 4-8.

Thanks Purple! And so nice to hear from you! How are you?! How many weeks to go!?

I'm with purple try 4-8 first and then if not successful 5-9.

Doing not too bad Pbn3 thanks . My sway plan has been terrible since my loss in Aug just cant seem to do it right this time around although im back to no meat and have been for the last 3months except a cheat at Christmas time and trying to.keep my blood sugars low ..

We are trying again ,since oct and no luck hopefully soon it happens cause im giving myself 2 more cycles then thats it .
I wish you well Xx
P.s once again really glad to see you back use to love reading your posts

waiting 3 months after a chemical is insane advice. No one does that.

I'm so sorry to hear of the chemical.

RE the Clomid, I personally believe that we see vastly superior odds of conception with the 3-7. The idea was that earlier may make more eggs, but 5-9 may make one really good one - but the odds of conception have NOT borne this out. I have seen multiples with both schedules and just feel that we have way more pregnancies with the 3-7. It's totally up to you of course and maybe something worth a try - everyone is different and it may be just the right thing for you, I just can't know of course.

Wishing you the best and sending you tons of pink sticky dust.
