Clomid

[atomic sagebrush]

yes long cycles are a great reason for Clomid.

PLEASE do not read anything into that cancer risk, it's on people who have had to take it for many months to TTC many children and doctors don't even GIVE it to people in that way any more.

So, I simply asked my midwife for clomid to sway and she gave it to me (she's delivered all 3 of my kids, we are actually friends.) Now she's not a fertility doctor, admittedly, I likely know more about clomid than she did, she had to look it up in a book. The prescription is for 50 mg starting day 5. I've ovulated slightly early since my miscarriage in Nov. (CD 11-12). Afte reading the soy iso thread, I saw suggestion that you start on different cycle days depending on your normal ovulation and how many eggs/quality of eggs you want. Does clomid work that way? Or is it just cycle day 5 for everyone?

[maidentomother]

Yes, clomid works exactly like that. Those ideas about when and why to take soy iso are adopted from clomid use, I'm pretty sure. So, take clomid earlier to develop more eggs, or later to develop better quality, and expect to O about 7 days after your last dose. For those with delayed O, an earlier schedule is sometimes used, and vice versa for those who O early.

The most common regimens I see are 3-7 and 5-9 but I've seen dosing start on any day up today 6, and even 10 days in a row in a few cases.

Are you thinking 5-9 or are you potentially interested in multiples?

[unwirklich]

I'd be alright with twins, but not triplets lol I think that'd be too much. My pills are also 25 mg so I could take a half dose.

[atomic sagebrush]

Don't take a half dose, you can still get multiples on a lower dose and if you take too low a dose, it's not going to do what it's supposed to do in terms of swaying and triggering ovulation.

If you tend to O a bit early, I would prob. start the Clomid CD 3-4 just to be absolutely sure you're getting in ahead of the beginning of the surge.

I don't have the "days to take" info in this essay because I want people to use their healthcare providers info instead of going off what I say, but yes, it does work the same as the soy.

After reading this thread im trying to finish what we are going to do for our sway and am finding myself with a few questions which i cant find the answers to. I've read Myo-inositol is good for swaying pink (although not much info) Could I add tht to my Clomid sway? I was planning on doing diet for 2 months with SP and on attempt I'd stop it on CD1 and start clomid CD3, i was going to have DH use LR and then bd frm positive opk to give a good chance of pg whilst lowering his count and was going to have him use benadryl 1 hour before each attempt (or ones closest to O) Also is there any point me drinking peppermint tea in the sway with clomid creating such a harsh enviroment. I'm so confused

[twinkle33]

Sorry realise this is an old thread just looking for help, Im on LE diet in the past when I take clomid it dries my CM up a lot that I struggle to keep the sperm alive, is there any sort of lube that I can use that wont kill off all the sperm, trying to avoid pre-seed etc. I think once I heard someone say canola is girl friendly long time ago tho??

[ratcliffe1811]

Canola oil is the best one to use if i remember rightly

[carmella_marie]

I like sylk personally, but I think ky is fine too

[atomic sagebrush]

only use myo if pcos
i do not recommemnd LR with clomid
i woudl not do frequent BD, we have gotten scads of boys with that. one attempt at pos opk
no pep tea with Clomid

twinkle, I would havwe you use preseed if you need a lube. a little bit won't sway blue

NO CANOLA OIL, NO SYLK, NO KY ON CLOMID

NO CANOLA OIL FOR ANYONE
