Atomic- it's cd1[emoji45]
My dr upped clomid to 100mg. Have I seen you post something that the clomid lasts two cycles? I'm hesitant to take it this cycle. Honestly, I think it's causing me to gain weight & I am not playing that game. I have stayed 1800-2000 cal a day and cardio for 70-85 min a day 6-7x a week. It's not adding up. Is that a normal side effect?

tarasue, I'm wondering if it's water weight? Clomid can cause that. If you don't lose it by the time AF is done then I'd think it wasn't water.

I also personally gain weight in the Winter unless I'm extra strict. So even without changing my cal intake my body just holds onto stuff. BUT you would notice this happening in previous Winters.

I am so sorry Tarasue! I would see what Atomic has to say. I am always hesitant to take more of something if a lower dose may not be working.

Hugs! Sometimes my body holds onto to weight to keep things working properly. This cycle, I could not get rid of the extra 4 pounds. Seriously! I eat the same 1400-1600 cals and exercise 6-7 days a week too! But things have run more smoothly this cycle. Maybe this is what your body needs to give you a sticky BFP after what it has been through.

Hang in there! Be kind to yourself right now- you have been through so much heartache. I hate to see you dwell on something that won't make a difference. Your body is set for pink with all you are doing. Remember, our weight does fluctuate 5 lbs either side and that doesn't effect a sway.

Maiden- we have to be twins separated at birth! The same thing during the winter happens to me! This is getting creepy [emoji6]!

Tarasue- FIW, AF just paid me a visit too. At least we can be cycle buddies! It appears we were this cycle too. If I remember correctly, we were cycle buddies the cycle you got your BFP. Hopefully I'll bring you better luck this time and bring in a sticky, pink BFP for you! I just placed the order [emoji8]! Third time's a charm!

Yup, twins. I hate my Winter weight gain! I like my Summer weight loss though

Thanks for the encouragement girls! Xx, so sorry Af came for you too. I do remember we got our first bfp's together, fx we can do it again this month. I hope we all get bfp's, every single one of us have tried so hard and been focusing for months for this. There are lots of "upsets" as well in this group, hopefully we can turn things around. I think I may try to stay away from this site more this cycle so it's not as all-consuming. , and I can be more relaxed this month. Fingers crossed for you all!

The effects to a pink sway seem to last 2 cycles. But you are needing it to help ovulate and in your situation I think you ought to take it this month.

The Clomid is a kajillion times better sway than the weight loss, and I think this may be stemming from the ED mindset and not from anything you need to worry about for your sway. It doesn't matter if you gain a bit, it's fine. NO worries.

Your metabolism can change and make you hold onto weight if your body "wants" to. I agree my weight just hangs around in the winter sometimes.

re amount of Clomid - are you being monitored???
