Tell me about Clomid please...

[The Anchor]

I think, she did, Anchor. I have seen her sway in the sway section.

I remember her twin announcement but I thought she'd dropped it before. TWINS! That might be YOU GeCon! LOL.

Have you started your first cycle yet?

[GeCon]

I haven't started yet, Anchor.

I only got my prescription today and am currently waiting to ovulate while on Vitex. I have irregular and long cycles, so when o will happen is anyone's guess.

We are planning on starting the Clomid and attempting next cycle.

[The Anchor]

I dropped V on CD12 (expected O day) and didn't REALLY O 'til CD15 on this cycle. Pain in the butt.

(Yes I took Vitex last cycle because I took soy iso's for the previous 3 cycles and I think it seriously messed up my estrogen levels so I took V to hopefully level them out. I'm going to take the V again this cycle, honestly, I think it's really doing the trick).

[GeCon]

What CD are you on and any idea when your attempt might be coming up?

[The Anchor]

Oh I'm only on CD2...ANOTHER BFN last cycle. Hopefully O on CD13/14 (I'm going to drop V on CD11 I think). I've got a doc's appt next week and was kinda lurking around the Clomid posts because she suggested on the phone that we might pursue some "fertility enhancement drugs" (lol) for the next cycle. I don't know if she'd prescribe Clomid (I am 40!) but I'm anxious to hear what she has to say. Question for you...how long did it take to get all the "testing" done?

[GeCon]

Not long at all. I went to see the doctor on 5th February, had an internal scan, which showed a few cysts on each ovary and had blood taken. Had my results and got the prescription today, although I would have probably had them last week, had the surgery not been closed all last week.

[The Anchor]

Do you have to have surgery? I'm excited to see how this cycle pans out for you...

[GeCon]

No, no surgery. I meant the doctor's surgery/practice.

opps....

Period and long periods. Doctors usually say go back on the pill but obviously I don't want to do that because we are TTC from April.

Not sure if Clomid would help or not?!xx

It def. would but can be super difficult to get hold of in the UK.

[atomic sagebrush]

Maple, did you get your twin girls while on Clomid?

Her twins are identical, and Clomid raises rates of fraternal twins, not identical. We have had several sets of Clomid twins, just not Maple's twins.
