Anyone using Clomid?

Probably the dumbest question of all time, but how is Clomid pronounced?

Is it Clow-mid (rhymes with flow)
or
Clomm-mid (rhymes with from)

or a different way entirely?

the first one, its clomiophene in most cases but gets shortened it think. or thats its generic name or something

Hi Bree,

I conceived on my first month of using clomid, but we unfortunately mcd at week 9   The pills made me feel a bit tired, a bit hormonal but nothing too bad. It was just all the blood tests that I didn't like!

Yup, it was my first pregnancy, trying since March, lap in June for endo, fell pregnant in July, found no heartbeat at scan at 9 weeks :(
have to wait until Jan to go back onto the clomid, don't even know if we want to try again at the moment. it's a bit of a rollercoaster!
in terms of BD, your specialist or doctor should have told you when to try???? we got a very specific plan!

Hi Dotty - good luck. I have just had my first cycle of Clomid 50mg, taken day 2-6. I took just before bed - no side effects at all. Went for blood test at CD10 and estrogen levels 2000. Next day had scan and 5 follicals so we were told not to try this month as too high risk of multiple births. So next month clomid again but reducing to 25mg. I am CD 22 now, unsure when/if I ovulated as I have irregular cycles! We've been trying for 1 year, first mc at 10 wks and 2 mc at 5 wks. Its hard, but fingers crossed for all of us ladies here for BFP. Keep me posted on how you go on the clomid. Is this yoru first?

Hi

I am currently preggers with a clomid baby, conceived on my second cycle - I was on clomid because about 3 months after coming off the pill my AF stopped, it appears the pill was what kept it going - therefore I wasn't ovulating. I had to have proveria to induce AF and then clomid, I took it at night and didn't have any real symptoms. All I had was day 21 bloods to see if it was working, which it didn't the first cycle and only just the second cycle - but thats all it took . Best of luck to all ladies on clomid

Hi, think it was a bit of a false alarm, start ovulation tests on day ten so we will see!

Hi Flipsta

Welcome to ohbaby!

Like you I have been ttc for 9 months now, 1st mc end of March so I 'should' be due soon! bugger it!
2nd MC a few months ago, so I'm with you! it sure is a rollercoaster after trying so hard not to get pregnant for years! I never thought it would be this hard!

At least we can just keep up the practising!

Hey there,

Thanks for your stories

Wow 5 follicles! That is amazing. You are definitely responding well to the pills then. Dotty, sorry I am not completely clued up on all the acronyms what is MC?

Bree are you on a fully monitored cycle? I had to go get a blood test on Tuesday to confirm I did ovulate which I did so that is good news. Onto this month now!

DH and I are a little bit worried/excited cause we baby danced on the Saturday (Day 10) and then I had the scan done on Sunday (Day 11) and that is when we found the 3 follicles so if I ovulated that day or day after there is still a chance of getting pregnant. Will know next week when I am due for AF.   Bit scared of triplets...sheeesh!

I know what you mean about the BFN's Bree it is vey disappointing each month seeing that. Really tugs at the emotions.

I wish you both loads of luck too.
