Clomid or no Clomid OPINIONS PLEASE (swaying pink)

[inshaallahxx]

Thank you this post truly made me feel 100% better about my decision to stick with the diet. I'm still very young. I will be 25 when we start ttc this July. My husband had testicular cancer and had to have chemo and surgery but we had no problems conceiving our son together. He is also going bald already not only from the Chemo, it runs in his family.

Since I'm moving my ttc date up by 3 months, now I have to decide when to stop my bc and learn to start tracking my ovulation.
My other two boys were BIG SURPRISES and I'm not too sure what I was doing during the time of conception (diet, exercise) but I have a good idea.

I'm about to start a new thread because I have questions about my diet and

So funny because I am looking also into clomid for a sway! I think it is worth it! Use the diet and the sway! And, if it doesn't work who cares! You tried the best possible method the sway and clomid! I wanted to find out what you are doing and I will PM u on this!

Inshaallahxx & GT77 when will you both be ttc?

I did also consider clomid, in fact I got some leftovers from my sister. My biggest concern is twins and the complications that come with it. I hvae decided not to take it. I am not even taking vitex, SP or pep tea bcz it messes with cycle. Relying on going off BCP, diet, baby aspirin, rephresh and zyrtec. One time BD at pos opk and praying!

I´m doing exactly the same. My attempt is in may, so I´ll let you know how is going if I am lucky enough to get pregnant despite all the stuff I´ll do.
I had a really hard time deciding about taking clomid or not. In fact I have it, but my gynecologist is concerned about me to take it outside the standared dose and days (because I asked her about take it late in the cycle to avoid several eggs) and giving to me with the standar dose and days, she can´t guarantee me I won´t release several eggs if take it. Overmore I was a little scared about some things you can read in some sites about clomid effects, although atomic says it´s probably because people who often take it, is people with some fertility problems to begin with, and it has a lot of sense to me, since probably we all know someone IRL who have taken it and all has gone perfect. Anyway I don´t think clomid is the way to go for me (despite is a very good pink sway and despite I maybe will have regrets!!!).

I´m on LE diet, but loosing weight slowly because I only have like 7 kg to loose and already have lost 3 kg, and I´m reserving the last 4-5 kg to lose them fast at the final weeks leading to the attempt. Sometimes I only want to give up and get pregnant whatever gender and forget everything. LE diet is being very hard to me (although is not really so hard, is my way to do it which make it hard . I want to eat meat, avocados, my dear spanish olive oil, lentils, complex salads with lots of nuts, nutritious fruits..... (and I could continue but won´t do lol) My diet is every day the same from monday to friday. I know I can do LE diet more variated but for me is easier to stick doing like this. I literally count the days for my attempt on may....My typical day is coffe+aspartame in the morning, chewing gum until midday, a zucchini cream soup and an apple for lunch, a coffe+aspartame in the afternoon , and crackers with philadelphia light for dinner... On weekends use to eat pasta or rice.

My DH is drinking soy milk every night since 3 weeks ago. It´s suposed to low T on men, and he has definitively less sex drive, and hope he is producing less sperm by now, which will be released in may (60 days of sperm genesis). On the CD1 of may (my attempt) I will give him LR until I O, as well cranberry and sudafed.

For me, I´m on anti androgenic BCP and will TTC first month if I am lucky enough to get pregnant. If I won´t get pregnant I´ll start taking vitex+SP.
The possibility of BCP hormones on my baby scared me, as I stopped BCP several months before conceived my DS to avoid it, but my doctor tell me that BCP hormones are out the body in hours BUT the effects of that hormones on our reproductive system remain (like the CM wich use to take several months after stop BCP to come back to your normal quantity and quality, or your usual hormonal levels to take some time to recover) and I hope it will be enough to me to get a healthy DD. Finally , I will take cetirizine from CD 5 and benadryl from CD 10, aspirin, and will use represh+acijel like lube on my one attempt at positive OPK (with abstinence, don´t know the days, because after stop BCP don´t know when I will O exactly, but hope a 7-10 days abstinence)

Well, I´m sorry for write so much , but reading your post I couldn´t avoid to share my sway plan as it´s very similar to yours and didn´t want to read and run, despite I´m pretty disconnected by now from the forum to avoid too much stress about people doing different things and getting or not their DG....
My attempt is in may. I´ll let you know how is going. I hope it work for both!

Mariposa, so many decisions to make. Sounds like you ave covered all your bases

I am planning on TTC next month I think. I first want to see if I am able to get my hands on this clomid. And, like you I may sit on it and not use it. I just want to see if I can get it. I have two appointments one at a fertility specialist that one of my friends used, had a trigger shot she did have longer periods 35 days, and she has a healthy girl. And, the other dr. is my gyn, but I am just unsure if they will give it to me or not, but I am going to try and see what happens. I think if i get shot down on Thursday, I will be better prepared for what I will say next week. I agree with you, twins would be a lot of work since one is a lot of work! I read on here if you drink soy and take clomid you have a higher chance of twins. I also read that if you have them monitor u, u can see how many folicles u have so if you have to many you don't need to try? I am not sure how that works. My DH doesn't want twins and neither do I. I have one boy and I want one girl. But, I am just starting to feel that my strongest chance for having a girl, since I am not doing IVF PGD, is thru clomid & diet. I do not care if I have another boy, because I know I would of gone the extremes going on clomid and I will know in my mind I did everything. I do find the diet hard!! Do you guys have some meal suggestions on the LE? I need to eat more potassium, so tomorrow I am going to up my fruits and veggies and see how that goes! I tried one kind of coconut milk that I hated, so I need to try a new one and find one I like. the question is what is my chances for twin boys!
