Hi

I am 30 and just started my first round of Clomid. I have just taken the first lot of 5 tablets. Now waiting to see if I ovulate...

I have no ovulation (due to PCO) and we have male factor motility problems. Been ttc naturally for 5 years- this Clomid is first lot of TX.

Does anyone in a similar boat want to be buddies?

Anyone??? Pleeeeease be my friend... :-)

I am in same vote huni
Im 27 and been ttc now for around 1 year and 8 months. I have pcos and dont think i ovulate regular and my OH has low sperm results. I did one month of the clomid and my gyno advised that it wouldnt be worth to carry on the clomid due to OH sperm results and has referred us to IVF!

I dont think were in the same vote as far as clomid is concerned but i am in same vote as ovulation problems and motility problems.

I am 27 and my oh is 39 this will be our first baby for us both (i never expected to hear the words IVF) but at same time just do anything for a BFP so if it means IVF then it means IVF..
Where are you from?

Hi Beauty- thanks for your reply. I am 30 and so is my OH and we live in Derbyshire. Where are you from?

How come the Gyno only let you have one month? Are your OH's levels really low? When my OH's first SA results came back his motility had a count of 7 (we were told 15 is the lowest number that can be considered normal) and he referred us for ICSI- but at his second test it had gone up to 14. I owe it all to him- he has worked so hard at changing loads of things in his lifestyle and it worked better than I thought it would!!

My specialist still doesn't hold out much hope of the clomid getting us our BFP but has given me 6 mths to try it- then it'll be ICSI.

Did you ovulate on clomid? Or did you not get a response from it?

Hey huni
I live in Manchester so not too far away!

The gyno just said she perfer me to be hormone drug free with being referred for IVF and doesnt think the clomid will help get us a BFP due to SA results!!

I think he has a total of 14million but he produces alot of volume but overall based on the volume the 14million is still low, think they look at about 10million per millilitre and average man provided is around 2 millilitre making it 20million.

However we producing alot of volume more than 2 millilitre prob around 5 making it around a total of 14million but dividing 14 million into 5 ml makes it 2.8 million per millilitre when it should be ten!! Thats what they look at, per millilitre not as a whole figure cause 14million isnt bad really but that is still 3 days substained..

I cant fault OH tho he has made some real diet and life style changes too, we stopped smokin and eat healthy as it is, we are hoping the next set of results shows improvement as that would be like 3 months of non smokin so wonder if it does make the difference!!

We are hoping that we wont be waiting long for the IVF I spoke to the hospital last week who explained the process ( so i feel a little bit better now) We are waiting for some forms to fill out and complete and send back and then we will get a decision if we are accepted for NHS funding or not (we should be as none of us have children from previous relasionships) and then hopefully we can start the balls rolling..

So are your number 7million on total and why do they think you need ivf?

The clomid i have no idea if it worked or not, i gave day 21 blood on day 19 as i was at the hospital then with gyno i knew i hadnt ovulated by then as i been doing opks, so it came negitive but my period arrived on cd35 so even if i did ovulate it wouldnt of been till cd21 so blood should of been taken cd 28 instead but gyno wanted me to give it cd19 as i was in the hospital with her.

Hey ladies,

Well, think Im in the same boat... Im 25 and dh is 28 I don't ovulate regularly, and a scan showed that my ovaries are PCO but blood test don't confirm this.

DH's SA Results showed a very good count but low motility, and we just completed the second test so should find out more about DH's second results at the next gyno appointment I have on the 28th of this month.

Im on my 3rd cycle of Clomid, I think I ovulate around cd21 ish with clomid, although I havent had results back yet from cd21 test to confirm this.

At the last gyno appointment, they mentioned the next step was ICSI, and that I might as well give Clomid a go, to see what happens.

I also have a hycosy test waiting for me, to check my uterus and tubes etc, before next step is started.

I am totally gutted that TTC has turned out this way, I would have loved a straight forward easy ride, but I guess that wasn't to be! I guess it will be worthwhile though!

Hey huni your welcome to join us...

I have never ever ever seen to lines on a pregnancy test, never been caught in all my years and i am 28 this year (scary isnt it)

We done all 3 tests and all 3 tests showed low count. My gyno told me to stop the clomid as doesnt see the point in carrying this on as they think it be good for me to be hormone and drug free for when we get referred to the fertility specialist re IVF..

We got referred in December, I have spoke to the hospital who send me some forms out which we have to fill in to see if we get accepted on NHS funding list, if so she said we should pretty much start the invesitgations and progess which isnt as long as it use to be, which was good news!!

I never thought we would be here in a million years, also i have pcos too, cycles seem to be up and down being cd33 to cd60 so hoping us ladies get are BFP soon! It is our turn

I had the hycosey, it did hurt a little but wasnt too bad, put my mind at rest having it done, my gyno made me have that done before starting clomid. I only done 2 rounds of clomid and got told to stop!

xxxxxxx

Thanks hun!

I know it really sucks.

With the hycosy, did it hurt much afterwards. Im due to have it done around the time I will ovulate seeing as they take a look at your tubes etc, I thought that if we bd'd before the scan, then Anything that gets up there will be destroyed, but If I wait until after the test I may be too sore to do the deed. Was there an discomfort pain afterwards???

I would normally just go and get it done, but as I am taking Clomid, I don't want it to turn into a pointless cycle?

What do you think??

Well i had mine done before clomid as my gyno wouldnt give me clomid without this being done but my cycles are all over the place and i was spotting before my hycosey and i was praying it wud stay away, anyway it did the witch didnt show until around 3 weeks after having the hycosey done, sure it delayed it.. as sure she was gonna show her head!!

They asked me when my last AF was and i explained i had pcos so it was few weeks ago and i have no idea when to expect it!!

Not sure if it would mess up ovulation huni, no idea, but i waited along time to get my hycosey done so i didnt want anything to wreck my chances of having it done..

I read alot of stories saying the dye ran out slowly over next fwe hours, mine just gushed out by the time i walked back to the car park and after that had no spotting or anything!! I felt bit like period pains if im honest, nothing painful afterwards!!

It was nice seeing my two tubes running clear tho xxxx

Thanks hun,

It's horrible not knowing what to expect. The Gyno deals with it every day I guess, but they seem to forget to try and explain things to us!!

When is your next appointment hun?
