Thank you Selina, your post means alot to me, more than you know. DH amd I have been tcc for about 24 months and recently had a lap and found/removed endo which I didn't know I had. I am 35 and ttc #1. Like you mentioned, people I know are having their second or third, and all I feel is time ticking away and "when will it be my turn?", brings tears to my eyes and my heart sinks in sadness. Your story gives me hope that I will be able to say yes, its now my turn after all these years! Thank You!!!!!!!!

How long were you on the Clomid for and what days did you take it on? How long were your cycles? Did you take your bbts while on the Clomid? What dosage were you on? Sorry about all the questions, just curious

I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy. Thank you again, you have been a God send.

It will be our turn soon lioness - don't you worry about that! And time is not ticking away - every day is one step closer.

Thanks for your encouragement cupcake xo.

Clomid has given me 2 follicles this month! So FS thinks I am the right dose which is good.

Had to give myself a trigger injection the other day! Kinda weird - never done that before. But needle was very small. You know what they say - no pain, no gain!

I am doing a higher dose of Clomid now. I did the 50mg for about 9 months with no luck. Now my doc has me on 100 mg. I have been ovulating. I go to doc on day 23 of cycle b/c I have a long 35 day cycle to have blood done and so far so good. I use the fertility monitor also and it has helped alot. I had 2 peak days this last cycle. Not sure what that really means but helps tell you when to do the deed. Good luck to all on Clomid. It worked the first time and now hoping it works the second time.

I am on clomid because i have really short LH phase and I don't ovulate until CD 30 or later. I also only have one tube on my left side but i do have both overies. I lost my tube due to an etopic in june 2007 and have been TTC every since. this is my second month and i am 11 DPO and just waiting to see what happens.

Cupcake, I didn't realise you needed to give yourself a trigger shot as well. Do you know why you need to have the shot for? My specialist didn't mention anything about that for me. Let me know how you go. As for me...still waiting for the to arrive...I'm hoping she'll be here in the next couple of days so I can start my first round of Clomid.

2ndtime, how do you find Clomid, do you get any side effects? Did you have success on Clomid before?

Sorry to hear about your m/c and the result of losing a tube mlohof, I'm sure its been hard for you since. Fingers crossed that the Clomid will give you the BFP your after.

Hey Lioness

The Clomid makes you produce an egg/folicle. What happens with me is I go in about mid-cycle, I have a vaginal scan which shows if there is a follicle and if so, if it is the right size/ready (as it needs to be released at optimum time). If FS is happy with size, she will advise when I need to have a shot, which triggers release. For example, this time around, she said "Let it go 2 more days, then have your shot". The shot will guarantee the egg is released within 40 hours, which allows you to time to ensure you are getting up there in optimum time.

Perhaps your FS us just getting you on Clomid so you start producing eggs? Eggs will be released naturally, my understanding of the trigger shot is so you can know when you will be ovulating exactly and therefore increase the chance of conception with timed

arrived for me today - CD 27 which is back to normal!! So we didn't have any luck this month with 2 follicles, but was not really likely given operation was only 2 weeks ago.

I'm starting 2nd round of Clomid tomorrow (CD2) so fingers crossed for this month.

Take care and let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks cupcake. Sounds like there is a high chance you should get your soon then, fingers crossed for you. Is in expensive to get the vaginal ultra sound and shot every month?

As for me, I ovulate on my own but my specialist has put me on Clomid for the extra boost as I think one of my blood hormone levels is in the low end of the normal range.

At the moment I feel like I am watching all of you guys moving on since your op...as for me...nothing has changed, just marking time until the shows up...grrrr. I am interested and happy to hear how you guys are going though...gives me hope and I will be very happy to hear you guys get your s. It would be great if we all get them in the next couple of months.

I have PCOS and I did get pregnant with my first child on Clomid. I took Metformin with it the first time. It took about 1 1/2 years to get pregnant but it was well worth it. I have been trying for right at a year now and I am only taking the clomid now. I heard about clomid from my doc and I get it from the pharmacy but my insurance does not cover it. Since I am taking 100mg it cost me about $70. It is worth it. I do not have any side effects from just the clomid but do when I put it together with the Metformin. Hoping for the BFP soon!!!
