Bummed out clomid mid user!

[Beautifulrainbow]

I have done a unmonitored 50mg clomid cycle and now I'm on a 100mg clomid monitored cycle.
I'm CD 10 today and just had my 1st scan and it looks like the clomid didn't work, I have just 1 folical measuring 12mm. I have another scan on Friday to check that this folical is developing!

Would the clomid still sway girl even if it didn't work?

Feeling bummed cannot talk to my friends they just don't understand, they just keep saying things like "you already have 3 boys why do you want more?" Or "your lucky to have what you got, there is people out there who can't even have children"

Ops I apologise for that extra mid in the title not sure where that came from! And it won't let me change it now either!

I'm sorry you are feeling discouraged. I don't know anything about follicle sizes and what they should be but is cd 10 not still early? When do you expect to O?

And I agree... I have 3 boys and only a couple friends who know we are trying again... for me it's family that I can't talk to. Not sure why people feel they have a right to judge others family sizes and choices. Annoying.

I have awfully long cycles, I have pcos so For me without anything yes it would still be early.
but for most people who take clomid they would be ready to release an egg a few days after cd10, a folical needs to be at least 17-18mm. I was meant to have been approaching that and to have a hgc shot to trigger the releases the developed egg, then timed bd for 3days after. The nurses doesn't expect me to ovulate now for at least another week.

I did have trouble getting pregnant with my 1st three boys, not as bad as this though. Before my 1st I was told I couldn't have children at all. So I do know how lucky I am and I maybe pushing fate by trying for a girl but I just cannot push that feeling of long for a girl aside.

I do understand that there is people out there who cannot have kids, and I do know how they feel as I have been there and felt the same feelings as they do as mentioned above, but one friend who makes some of the comments is struggling to concieve too but she put off going to find out what is wrong for such a long time so I'm further up the list and getting treatment 1st, and now she is on the list she wants to take her name back off the list because it's such a long waiting list saying there is no point in waiting that long just to talk to someone then having to wait longer after until they actually do something.
I tried comforting her say not to do that because it costs nothing to stay on a waiting list, and she shouldn't remover her name otherwise she will never get to know what's wrong, and if she removes her name she maybe kicking herself in a few months time, and will have to go back to the bottom of the list, and I told her there maybe other cancellations and she maybe seen quicker! Also it might not take that long to start treatment after she has seen someone!
I try telling her everything I have learnt to see if it will help, Eg told her how to track her cycles because that could tell you a lot, to use ovulation tests, to bd around ovulation, but everything I say just falls on deaf ears, she won't track her cycle, won't test for ovulation and they bd when they can be bothered! She just expects it to happen.

I don't know why you assume Clomid is not working. You have a good-sized follicle already for CD10. I think you misunderstand how Clomid is supposed to work and what is a typical ovulation range on it, which ranges from 5-14 days after taking the last pill and average being 7-10 days after. I think you are unnecessarily stressing yourself out when so far all signs indicate things are working, even if it's not as quickly as you'd hope.

The Clomid worked, you just have to give it a little more time.

You don't WANT to see 6 follicles developing, that's how Jon and Kate got 6 babies!!

No not true. I see people fairly regularly who don't O for 3 weeks or so after their last pill.

I took it with DS1 and DS2. I didn't ovulate until CD23 on it, which was within the normal O range for me (CD16-CD26, but usually up in the CD20's).
