    Congrats! How much Clomid and what CDs? Was it your first cycle on Clomid.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    [QUOTE=Dreamsister;787686]Huge congrats. Great sway. I sounds that you have been really disciplined.
    Can I ask how long time your DH was on OLE (all 12 months)? Did you exersice presisly 60 min. every time and which kind of exersice (running, walking)?

    DH was on OLE for 7-7.5 months. I pretty much did the exact same routine for exercise. I created a zumba playlist on youtube of all higher intensity songs. I think i was about an hour and 6ish minutes for the entire set.

    Thanks! I did 50mg, cd 3-7. It was actually my fifth cycle of clomid. I did three cycles originally and those messed my cycles up. i switched to femara and had the same reaction (short lp). I took a break for a month and then tried clomid again. This time it worked perfectly and second cycle was when i was lucky. I kinda think my super low weight (got down to 104 at 5'4") might have been the cause for my wacky reaction to clomid the first try.

    Wauh. Sounds like a great succesfull sway. Did DH drink OLE as liquid or pills? Did you exersice outside running/walking and what time of the day? How many calories did you consume dayly and did you count? Why did you take clomid? And which kind of alchohol did you drink? Sorry for all my questions. Just curious and eager to learn from others experiences. Thank you in advance for your answers. It must be a great feeling to know you are preggo with your daugther :-)

    Not a,problem! He took the pill form of ole. I started out working out either during the day or early evening, but the last 4-5 months I got up at 5:15am to workout before the kids got up. I ate 1800-2000 calories, but probably the last 2-3 months ate more than that some days as I was trying to gain weight. I drank white wine...about 1-2 glasses a day, but cut that back the last 3 months to maybe a few days a week. I was just put on clomid because I am 38 and they gave it to me to hopefully get me to conceive earlier. Hope that helps'

    Thanks for your reply. You seem like a very disciplined person. I find it difficult to find time to excersice 60 min. 6 days a week. Did you exersice inside your house, in the gym or outside? I also have to get up very early around 5 to do it before the kids wake up and I have to go to work, but it is so dark and cold outside at that time, so I would prefer to do it during daytime. Who recommended you to take clomid? Your gyno? Where can you buy it? I might also have to take it due to my age (I am 40).

    Dreamsister, unfortunately drs are a LOT more hesitant/less likely to prescribe Clomid over here in Europe than in the US, especially if you already have multiple children. Also, in the US it is legal to order Clomid online from overseas online pharmacy, but it isn't in Europe, very few pharmacies willl even ship to the EU and if they do customs seizes the package in almost all Western EU nations. If you can get to Spain, Clomid & Femara are available without prescription in some pharmacies, otherwise it's very difficult to get within the EU. In the UK you can order online like in the US, as it is not part of the EU.
