Ok - I've been a bit 'emotional' today. Not floods of tears or anything, but I had 4/5 sneaky teary moments. wtf?? Is it the Clomid?
I just started my holidays, taking off 2 weeks, and heading abroad tomorrow for a brill trip, so why am I down? Must be the drugs.....
Def the drugs - Enjoy the trip abroad and try to forget what they're for... My doc said to both me and my hubby when we were first prescribed them that they can have some side affects.. he told us that they can affect the emotional side of a lady and sometimes we can get a little angry! Hubby laughed out loud, admitidly so did i
but when the doc says girls can be a little more emotional than usual, and go as far as saying it in front of me i have to say i was prepared for the worst. I'd say you are suffering the affects. Some people i know could only take clomid until they concieved their first child and were afraid to go again because they reacted so badly to them. Each and every person is different. I had no ill effects other than extreme exhaustion which then led me to be a little out of sorts but nothing more than that. Power on through. The holiday should lift you enough to get you through it. Hope it goes well! 0 -

thanks May
thankfully the emotional side effects didn't last too long, I am very irritable though.
So re my progress, today is Cycle Day 17 and I got a positive ovulation test!! Woohoo - go me! Assuming I ovulate tomorrow, this will be the earliest ovulation for me - ever - in my life!
I am just back from my holidays and didn't do any charting or temping while away, just did an OPK each day and that's it. Fingers crossed that this is my cycle!
I HEART Clomid! :P0 -

thanks! It been difficult as my cervical mucous has all but dried up (another Clomid side effect) so am using Pre~Seed - a sperm friendly lubricant that actually aids fertility. Need to be careful not to overdo it - chaffing is one thing I'd like to avoid!

Good luck to you - It's exciting and frightening at the same time. A positive ov test is fantastic - I never got one of those!!! Make sure you enjoy yourself and try to forget what you want the end result to be.
I think for my first round i was too tense and it hindered us somehow. TWW is a killer - go off on holidays again
I have to admit - I heart clomid too - 7wks and counting0 -

hey there, no news, thnaks for asking. only 8 DPO so too early to test. I normally start at 10 DPO. I thought I saw a tiny bit of spotting today and that's usually a period sign for me, but I'm still hopeful. If I get my period I've to call HARI and discuss the plan for the next cycle, i.e. am I to up the Clomid dosage (only took 50 mgs this first cycle).
How is your pregnancy going? Are you experienceing nausea / sickness?0 -

May79 how long were you on clomid before it worked for you??
3 rounds of Clomid - Didn't suffer with side affects too badly. Just very tired and a little emotional. Complete chock when i did discover I tested positive.but a good shock.DetectivFoxtrot wrote: »hey there, no news, thnaks for asking. only 8 DPO so too early to test. I normally start at 10 DPO.

Too early is right. You don't want a repeat of my experience. Hopefully it works foirst time but if it doesn't at least you know it should eventually work with all the poistive stories on these boards.
I have a little nausea, no sickness. Feeling like grazing a lot. When i do eat i need a lot of flavour, bland food makes me feel worse. I have to say i was concerned i didn't have the sickness but i have been reassured that it doesn't happen to everyone... Early scan scheduled for next week. GP and my specialist wanted one done at 9 weeks but can't get in anywhere until next week, by then i should be 10 weeks if the dates are correct.
I'm praying all goes well for you. x.0 -

Detective any news on your side
At last the day for my appointment with GYN has arrived - I will fill you all on on what he says etc.
I am due my period today so hopefully it will stay away until after scan as otherwise they wont do scan
Hi Cinderella - Great to hear from you
Pregnancy going ok. Still 'high risk' but we're still here. Have another scan tomorrow - 15 weeks and hopefully she'll tell me we're still going well. At last scan (11 weeks) she said we had a good big baby so that's positive. So all in all i have to say i'm happy with progress. :rolleyes:
Good luck with your appointments. They can take a while to get through and start meds if they put you on anything. But i can honestly say it's worth the pain. 0 -

Hi detective - haven't visited in a while - hope all is going ok with you x.
Hi there, well I was saving my 1000th post to tell you all that I finally fell pregnant. Only, well I didn't. Pathetic I know.....
I have been crying intermittently today. I am convinced this is never going to happen for me. I am at this 17 months now... Everyone is passing me out and while I am thoroughly happy for my friends, family, colleagues and fellow Boardsies who find success at this, a little piece of me dies inside each time I get news of another little one on the way.
Everything was so perfect this cycle; perfect temps, no spotting, perfect intercourse timing, and I still failed...... What's depressing also is that Clomid's effectiveness reduces the longer you take it, i.e. your best chances are the first few cycles....

I had and still have large cysts on ovaries and they're being monitored closely. Also miscarried in the past. I'm not entirely sure as consultant just said she wants to see me every 4 weeks and she'll be happy when i hit 16 or maybe 20 weeks. I'm happy now though.

I am just back and my next move is to be sent for a an xray where they will put dye in and see if there are any blockages in my tubesDetectivFoxtrot wrote: »Hi there, well I was saving my 1000th post to tell you all that I finally fell pregnant. Only, well I didn't. Pathetic I know.....

Oh detective please don't feel dishartened. I was trying for just over 3 yrs all in all. I know that horrible feeling each month it is not nice. I can't say anything to make you feel better but please don't loose hope. x x x x0 -

Thanks May
Sarah thanks too, it will happen for us, eventually! I have been so down and apathetic the last few days (side effect of Clomid) but today I feel like the cloud has lifted a little. I'm on Day 8 so will kick off temping and OPKs from Day 10, and of course sex, lol. Haven't really been into that lately either..
How are you getting on? Sorry about your negative last cycle. Are you due to ovulate soon?
this is cycle no. 13 for me, hopefully it will be lucky!0 -
