Clomid tips

Hi there. Feeling a bit overwhelmed since we've started our fertility journey. I'm polycystic and have very irregular cycles. Starting clomid on my next cycle and I'd love any hints and tips. I've heard that it gives you terrible sweats so I'd love to hear from people's experiences and what our chances might be. My FSH levels are apparently too high for NHS funding so IVF won't be an option. Thanks and best wishes x

Everyone reacts differently honestly you wont know til you’re on it. Personally i had pretty much no side effects, just bad lower back pain the day i was ovulating & sore boobs, other than that i had nothing.
Best advice i could give is take it before bed, that way you’ll sleep through any potential horrible side effects x

I don’t understand why high FSH levels would impact funding?

I did my first round. Bit of a runny tummy and the odd headache nothing massive!

Upping to 100mg next week 🙈🤞🏻

I did 6 rounds of clomid and felt absolutely fine on all of them. I ovulated regularly and even got pregnant twice (both times sadly ended in MC). I’d try not to overthink it, just make sure you’re feeding yourself all the right foods and doing exercise like walking to take your mind off things - that’s really helped with my PCOS. Here if you have any questions😊

I been diagnosed with endometriosis ,
Doc said if u want to have kids the ivf is the only options . My in-laws are docs back home so they got me clomid first cycle nothing , 2nd cycle day 2-6 I took it and I just found out I m pregnant . I took at night time before going to bed so didn’t felt anything apart from ovations hot sweats . I know it’s easy to say don’t stress but when our body gives u that challenge that u can’t fall pregnancy our mind says why not ! So good luck and praying for u lovely ladies 🌟❤️

Can someone help me? Please read 😭💔

I'm looking for someone to help me decifer some awful news that I received from the Dr's. I had a fit test that came back positive for blood in my poo. It was 15

They wanted a repeat test and it came back four times higher than the previous result last week, it's now 61.

I have a horrible feeling I know what the cause is. I've experienced a lot of weight loss and vomiting these past few months. I've got an urgent appointment with my Dr next week but I can't wait that long. Can someone eitheir be honest with me (I know there's lots of medical professionals on here, myself included) or reassure me. I'm in peices rn 😭💔

Pcos secondary infertility?

Hi ladies, I have pcos and after a year of trying we did two round of Letro and got pregnant. Per the pre sticks ( which ik aren’t always accurate for pcos but have gotten progesterone checked at day 21 and have been around 10 before Letro and like 18 after Letro) I have always ovulated.

I’m on my third round of Letro and it’s day 25 and still no ovulation. I’m kind of just spiraling that I am extra broken now and will never be able to get pregnant again. Anyone else go through this? 😭

Period…

My period returned about 3 months ago but it’s so unpredictable😭 My tracker app says 5 days late… but yesterday and today I’ve had ovulation pain/aching and lots of clear discharge (TMI sorry!)
I don’t want to be buying a pregnancy test every month🤣🤣
I’m breastfeeding, so it makes sense that my hormones are just all over the place…
Just seems weird to be ovulating now!!

I’m so confused! Please help

Yes I am delulu but I can see a very faint line in all of these tests apart from the bottom one. But these were taken between 8-11dpo & no change. I think I’m probably not pregnant but why are they positive?! All lines were apparent within the timeframe.
I had a mmc in January & have had one period since.
Please help!
