I'm Currently Feeling: | Clomid is not working for me Hi ladies,
I am on my 3rd cycle of clomid of 150mg. The first 2 cycles I didn't ovulate. The doctor has given me two options if again i don't ovulate this cycle. Continue on clomid on a stronger dose. To be referred to a fertily specialist to maybe start injectables. I am wondering if there are any ladies here who experienced clomid starting help with ovulation after a couple cycles. I used to ovulate by myself although not every month. I would have longer cycles (40-60 days). Now when I take clomid nothing for 2 cycles. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I am on my first cycle of Clomid now but I do know that my doctor says that after a few months and especially after 6 months, Clomid starts to lose its effect so I am not sure!
Good luck though! I really hope this is your month! |

Didn't work for her at all and she's just done her first round of injections and had a scan yesterday that is showing one follicle. She's thrilled! So don't worry of you have to do the injections, they do work and apparently not difficult to do at all. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Well I conceived on my 3rd round of Clomid and Ihad irregular cycles before. Like you hun I did ovulate but not every cycle so I had some cycles were 30-70 days. I knew the first 2 months of Clomid didnt work coz my cycles were really long. The maximum recommended safe dose is 250mg a day so there is a way for you to go and they won't go past 6 months coz like some else said it does lose it's effectiveness.
Good luck to you hun xxx | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I just wanted to stop in and say good luck to you! I took 100 then 150 of Clomid, and it did not work for me, but I have never ovulated on my own, so my situation is a little different than yours. My Dr. just recently started me on injections. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | i'd like to say good luck to you all, i got preg on my 4th month on clomid after not ovulating and my cycle being 100 days sometimes, but there is light at th end of the tunnel and i am proof it can work as i went for my early scan today to check for multiples and i am 7 weeks approx they saw one little heartbeat fluttering away. so i'm chuffed, it makes the road long never ending and windy when taking fertility drugs.
i just wanted to share a bit of luck with everyone trying as it is possible.
xxx baby dust to all xxx |
