Anyone using Clomid?

Hi all - scan this morning and I have one follical which I think they said was 12mm. my estrogen level 600. A couple of other little follical looking things but he mentioned something about maybe polysistic ovaries - i've never been told this before. When I asked further questions I didnt really get answers (was a diff specialist doing the scan). Anyway, he then said I need another scan on Wed to see how they are going and if too many follicals then wont be able to try again this month - but then he said that my levels and the one follical looking good. So I really dont know where I am at. My DH and Iare going to BD every morning and night and fingers crossed - i really are getting desperate

hi flipsta, well second scan today and 1 follical at 21mm and another at 19mm and another small small one - so we are allowed to TTC. Were told the next 4 days to BD and another blood test next Thursday - not sure what this is for? Now do we BD once a day, more than this?? What's best???
/how are you going?

Hi Bree,

Great news that you can try!

Hey if you can go for it more than once a day then go for it! :).

Yeah that next blood test will be to check ovulation occurred.

Fingers and toes crossed for the next few days aye!

I am off for a blood test tomorrow morning to check my estrogen levels so see how that goes.

Good luck

Yes I believe it does help with ovulation so I am sure it is fine. I have read that cycles can get a bit out of whack on clomid.

Have you always ovulated no problems each month?

I did confirm ovulation last month. Had a test done just like you are going to soon.

Don't worry there is plenty they can do if you have problems with ovulation. Have read a bit about it on the net....as you do!

Good luck with the baby dancing and try not to worry about the ovulation side of things, I am sure it is totally fine.

Yah Flipsta - enjoy the BD! What CD are you? I am CD18 today but had some EWCM so maybe late OV? i have never monitored signs of OV etc, so just starting on this now. With this cycle of clomid they said to BD CD11 to 18 which we did - but now thinking I didn't OV then!?

Hi Dotty, sorry to hear although it's not over just yet! I personally think the first cycle of clomid is a bit of trial and error - you dont know how you will individually react. My first cycle 50mg gave me 5 follicals so we werent allowed to try. This cycle 25mg and 2 follicals. Unsure if/when I ovulated, but having bloods on Thursday which I guess will confirm ovulation?? your prog level being 60 - is this good or bad? Sorry this is new to me. My CD have been 28 - 37 so I am hopefully you will still get the result you are after.   How many follicals did you have? What has your specialist suggested?

Hi Dotty, I took clomid CD2-6 then CD10 had a blood test and CD11 a scan. The blood test showed my estrogen levels, the scan showed the size of my and how many follicals and also showed my endometrium lining was thickening which they said was all good as looked like I would ovulate in a few days. That is when they said to BD CD11 - CD18. I have another blood test this Thur to see if I ovulated. Are you having clomid through a specialist of GP?

Hi ladies, well I think I am ovulating now - CM yest and today. (CD19 and 20). FA said after my blood tests and scan to BD end of last week and weekend which we did, but also last night - am hopefull we have caught ovulation. Blood test tomorrow to check, but if I am only ovulating now maybe this is too soon.
Flipsta what is next for you? Are you doing a preg test??

Flipsta! How far away are you from testing??

Hey Bree - I am not sure how they read the prog result but last cycle my result was 3.4 and they said that I 'possibly did not ovulate' - However this cycle my result was 40.3 which they said that I 'had' ovulated....
