Thank you. It makes it easier when you guys just start your own thread with your own questions in them and save these for more general, un-individual questions.
Clomid 5o mg 3-7 IUI had a baby girl
Oh interesting thread, my doc prescribed Clomid for me so going to start in January from day 3 to 7, is it better to start on month then come off it and attempt? Or just stay on it till u get bfp ... Sorry so much info on this and trying to get my head around it. Also does anyone know is it ok to take if dh is on antidepressants?

You can take it up to 6 months in a row but most women conceive before that or move on to.something else. You could probably just stay on it for serveral cycles as it would have the best sway factor. If you do take a cycle off then the following month can sway too but I would at least do a couple in a row first.
You husband being on anti depressants would not be a problem.
Thank u purple for your quick reply x
ok will start in January. I'm just wondering do you keep up all the other sway tactics aswell, I've been doing Le on and off last 6 months, one attempt, antihistamines on & off, and some ky jelly.
Also does the more Clomid you take mean increased chances of multiples, going to start on 50 mg

oh, there are 2 big clomid threads? will post the link to my clomid-specific stats spreadsheet here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qen0tpc24z...lomid.xls?dl=0
I won't be maintaining it, but it's useful as a snapshot of stats at this point
Thank u rainbowflower, very useful indeed! I will definitely be incorporating Clomid in my sway x

I'm not totally sure I understand this question, you need to take Clomid only in months you are planning to try, not before you try.Quote:

What your husband brings to the table is separate from what the Clomid does.
No, you don't keep doing all that stuff. Most people will drop jelly and antihistamine.Quote:

Yes, more Clomid = higher chance of multiples and you should not take more than the amount given to you by your doctor. Most use 50
Hi everyone im on clomid this cycle . We dtd day 9 and 10 . It is now day 14 and im ovulating !! and really painful left side . should I dtd again or leave it ? trying for pink !
Thanks
I would keep having attempt every 4 days all cycle long, if you can. Clomid is notorious for causing delayed ovulation even when having ovulation symptoms or getting positive opks.
FX and GL to you!

My Ovulation Chart
I am getting Clomid to use when we TTC in the Spring. Is it worth getting OPKs as well? I have not used them in the past so it would be a little of a learning curve. I know that Clomid gives a false positive and have read that you ovulate a certain number of days after the last Clomid.
Yes, you need(ed) to DTD again. That is by far too long a cutoff to yield pregnancy even under ideal circumstances and on Clomid is not ideal circumstances.Quote:

Most people will not ovulate till 5 days after the last dose and it's usually more like between 5-10. That having been said you do NOT NOT NOT always O on X day after taking it (and i know some doctors will tell people that) and sometimes people have waited weeks for O after Clomid. You can't just BD on a certain day even if your doctor or a website tells you that - either we need to be in with regular attempts (such as e4d) or else doing opk.
Atomic, I am thinking of trying w/clomid. Dh and I are prob going to ttc this yr. I went to an RE recently to have my hormones checked b/c I had 1 wacky cycle. My AMH is VERY high, FSH in mid-7's. After researching, it seems very high AMH, esp at later age, means pcos, but I've always been very fertile and have no signs of pcos (other than high AMH). I had a high AFC too.
Anyway, I want to try to get clomid to sway. I know you have said it's not as good for 35+ gals, but I don't think it will be an issue for me since with such a high AMH and AFC I should respond, right? I just wanna try everything since this will probably be our last time ttc.
It's not that, it is your FSH. Yours is midrange, Clomid may make it go up which will in turn decrease egg quality but usually this takes a few months. I would have you go onto atomic fertility diet in this thread 5 from the top http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...rt-3-pcos.html I would also recommend ultrasound monitoring if poss to be sure you're not hyperovulating BUT be aware that the only set of Clomid triplets we have had, was in a woman who was being monitored. Her dr. told her there was one follicle but apparently there were at least 3. So know going in that monitoring is not a surefire multiple prevention.
Thanks atomic!! Wow, ok. But do you think clomid will work for me since I'm ama? I want to do everything I can to sway. Is it pretty safe? If the clomid makes my FSH go up, does that mean if I try to ttc naturally after (if clomid doesn't work), will it mess up my fertility. So scared to mess with things but also willing to do whatever I can since time is running out!
ETA: What do you think would be a good dosage for someone like me?
Thanks in advance atomic!!! :)
It will go back down once you stop the Clomid. I used to be more of a stickler about this but I have seen several docs prescribing it anyway and people conceiving on it so I have relaxed a bit about it now. It seems to be something that is ok most of the time but just not always.
Femara is better option though so if that is on the table and you have the choice, choose Femara. It actually seems just as pink friendly if not more so than the Clomid.
I always suggest 50 mg for everyone.
Thank you SO much Atomic for all the advice!!!
hello to everyone, I bought the clomid and I will try TTC at the beginning of December. The active ingredient is clomiphene citrated right? in the past they had found a cyst
Functional lutein has been re-absorbed spontaneously. I wondered there might be contraindications with clomid and cysts. I am a little bit worried. some experience? Thank you
Hi guys, wanted to update this thread since the clomid threads really helped me when I was planning my sway. I swayed for months before my attempt but didn't do a strict sway until 2 to 3 months before attempt. Took clomid in Oct, 50mg, days 3-7, and got my bfp at the beginning of this month. Just found out yesterday it's twins! They are measuring a few days apart but doc didn't seem worried. Praying they stick and that I have at least 1 girl in there!!! Will update once I know gender.

When I had my viability ultrasound yesterday the tech said I had a cyst on my right ovary (I took clomid), but that it's totally fine. She said both eggs came from right ovary (it's twins). I wouldn't worry about cysts honestly, I would never have known I had a cyst...no pain or discomfort etc. In fact during my 2ww, all the jabs I had came from my left ovary. Weird!Quote:

Hi everyone,
Well, my tubal reversal went great, both tubes are open, but I didn't get pregnant the very first month so the doctor perscribed clomid. I'm 37 (38 next month), and he wants it to happen for me soon so he wanted to give me a little boost. This is my 1st month on clomid 50 mg cd2-6ish, I started cd2, but it was really late at night (I took my pills around 10:30 each night). I don't think I'll get my bfp this month because everyone in the house had the stomach flu and I think we missed the window to try. It's ok though because we realized that if we do get pregnant this month, the baby would be due on the same day as one of our other kids, so we're ok trying again in January and putting some distance between the birthdays.
Anyway, enough rambling, here are my questions as one that is new to clomid. Which has a bigger impact on the chance of twins: the dosage or the days taken? What I mean is, will i have a better chance of twins if I take 50 mg earlier in the cycle, or if i took 100mg regardless of days taken, or some combination of the two? I'm trying to sway pink, and I'd love twin girls, but I like the odds of having at least one girl if I have twins.
Thoughts are appreciated.
Hi there! I took 50mg, days 3-7 and got pg with twins first round... I'm currently 7 weeks.Quote:

I didn't have the horrible strong bloated painful ovulation that everyone talks about getting while on clomid, if I wasn't using opk's I wouldn't have known I ovulated. Also so far my pg symptoms have been almost nonexistent, save for extreme tiredness and occasional hot flashes or chills. No nausea at all. Now just praying they both stick and at least 1 is a girl. Good luck to you! My experience with clomid was great.Quote:

I didn't have that bloated ovulation this month either. My only symptom with clomid was a 6 day long headache. I'm prone to headaches and migraines anyway, and multiday isn't unheard of for me, but this one started the same day as my first dose and didn't go away until the day after my last pill. Other than that, I've felt fine and couldn't even tell you when I ovulated this month. That's great that your symptoms are so minimal. My boys were super easy, but i got sick with my daughter from the very beginning until i was 8 months or so. It was really crazy. I hope they both stick and you get your girl. The odds are better :) If you have a 50% chance of a girl with each baby, then you have a 75% chance of at least one girl. Good luck and keeps us posted.Quote:

100 mg unless you are in need of it and being monitored by ultrasound couldend up being triplets or more. Not worth the risk since you have a decent chance of twins anyway
Just an update, just had scan and baby B doesn't have a hb. :((((( Stopped growing at 8w. Baby looks great and has great hb.
Gutted.
