Quoting *Sam*- TTC #1!!:“ So a bunch of us ladies have been talking in another thread so I decided I would start a Clomid thread ... [snip!] ... so it's easier to keep track of where everyone's at! *Sam*- TTC #1!!: Round 4, 100mg: in the 2WW *Ree*: Waiting for AF”

You can add me,

Annette, Round 2 50mg, IUI 6/20 in 2ww

I am so excited this thread is here!!!

Now we all need to graduate with our BFP's!!

We had our IUI today. DH sperm was super high over 30mil, I am so happy about that we need all the strong swimmers to manipulate around all my endo issues. The lining looked good yesterday on the u/s so really if this didn't work I am going to be very nervous if it ever will! All conditions are ideal.

Good Luck and Baby Dust to everyone 

Quoting [L]acey [F]ace:“ We plan on using a known donor and doing at home insemination. We just can't find a donor, and all of my 40 some odd opks so far have come up neg. So I'm worried I don't ovulate... =/”

has your OB done blood work to see if you ovulate?? Mine did and thats how i found out i don't. I think he tested for progesterone levels.

I also have a cyst on my right ovary. it looks big to me, but my Dr. hasn't mentioned removing it to me or anything. He says it actually produces some extra progesterone? which i didn't fully understand.

Can anyone tell me what is PCOS?

Quoting MattsVal:“ Yay!! I hope its ok for newbies to join?? I finished Clomid Cycle #1 50mg last week & am currently on day O. Praying for a BFP!! ”

Of course it's ok! I'll add you on the OP.... how did this first cycle go for you??

Hahaha... yep that sounds about right... I like that term 

Quoting [L]acey [F]ace:“ I have a cyst on my right ovary at the moment. I go in in 6wks to have it looked at again. I wish her and her SO lots of luck and baby dust =)”

Cysts suck, I had a couple when I was in high school, but haven't had any since, or that I know of. I just remember they were painful and then when they would pop it was like a shooting stabbing pain and then I would have total relief the next day.

I don't have PCOS, but from what I hear a lot of ladies have it. My sister was just diagnosed with it a week or two ago so I've been trying to do a lot of research for her because she's freaking out lol. I just looked it up so far on like mayo clinic's website as well as like webmd and stuff...

YAY! That sounds promising!! I can't wait until we all get our BFP's finally and then we can make it a grad thread! That'll be the day, huh?!

I hate the 2WW, I not only get excited for myself but for all the other ladies.... I can't wait to see how it turns out for all of us!

AND, it seems like we're all around the same stage (2WWish) or close to it! DH tells me not to get my hopes up but, I have good feelings about this month....  

maybe i should talk to my OB and have him test for that. I know my progesterone is low. But i have some of the other symptoms too. It could be just a coincidence tho....

Thank You!! For the most part my first cycle was good but I did get "The Crazies" (my poor DH) & had the worst bloating ever where I had to wear a dress because it was to uncomfortable to wear anything else. Do you know if bloating is normal??

I know for me bloating is def normal... I Mildly bloat around O time, and when AF comes, I whip out the pants extenders, lol.

I know I've gained roughly around 5lbs or maybe just a lil less since being on Clomid. I don't think it's directly from the Clomid but I've noticed I've been a lot more hungry and craving things that I normall don't eat/don't like/don't crave. So I've been trying to watch that a little more.

Please don't say that Clomid can cause weight gain...I just lost over 20 lbs so that it would help with fertility....I don't need any setbacks!!

I don't think it's directly from it, but I've just noticed a lot more cravings and always feel like I'm hungry. I've only gained at the most 5 lbs in the last 4 months, but it's still a lot to me since I've been trying to LOSE it! Just make sure you don't give in if you get cravings! I'm sure not everyone gets it, it just affects ppl differently. Don't fret too much about it  

Another thing my Dr told me was when I do get the cravings just chug some ice water and it'll subside you! It's helped me!
