Hey girls. Wow it's been a while since I've been in here! So the short story is hubby and I have been trying for number 3 for 19 months now with no success. I have PCOS and I'm lucky to get a cycle every 2 or 3 months :( I've finally gotten around to seeing a private gynecologist and she has given me a prescription for clomid which I'm waiting to start on my next cycle.
Just wondering if anyone has any positive success stories about clomid? I'm so excited to even just have a regular cycle. We did try charting but when your going up to 4 months without seeing AF it can be a struggle to stay motivated enough to keep up with it. Having a monthly AF is going to be fantastic! -------------

Hey Lisa - firstly your girls are gorgeous!!
I have seen quite a bit of success with Clomid on these charts, personally I did one month and got my BFP unfortunately it ended in a MC. Going to do a few months trying naturally before going back on the Clomid. If you have a look under the coping with infertility section there is a clomid pill poppers section. Quite a few of us in the charting thread are charting and taking Clomid. FX it does the trick for you  -------------  3 little Angels July 10, May 11, Apr 13

Yep me, after 23 months TTC I fell pregnant on my fifth round of Clomid with my Littlest DD. Took a few goes to get my doseage right, but once we did we hit the jackpot  It gave me horrid sweats and hot flushes but it was worth it!
Good luck I really hope it works quickly for you! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I was diagnosed with PCOS (very long cycles, never ov'd on my own, BAD cysts on both ovaries..) and was on Clomid for 3 rounds (apparently my scan was so bad- so many cysts that my gynae didnt know if clomid would even work so just gave me 3 rounds and i was already on the list for IUI etc if the clomid didnt work..) BUT the 3rd round we hit the jackpot and now my gorgeous girl is 9 and a half months old  clomid tends to work really well for most with PCOS, so hang in there, and push through all the icky side effects- heres hoping you have none at all though!
after my first round i was put on metformin too which i think helped heaps..(maybe ask the doc about that if you like?) the first clomid cycle its doubtful i ovd from looking at my chart..but it did shorten my cycle a lot.the 2nd cycle with clomid and metformin i got a bfp but a chem pregnancy, 3rd round made up for it all tho! good luck i hope you get those 2 magic lines very soon! x x  ------------- My little miracle 6/1/2011 My angel in Heaven 9/5/14 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Both my kids are clomid babies.
I think we got preg on our 5th or 6th cycle the 1st time round and conceived triplets, however i lost 2 of the babies and we have Jorja shes 3.5y. Then second time around it took us 15 months TTC with about 4-5 (? maybe more) cycles of clomid and now we have Lockie hes 13.5mths Good luck! ------------- J - born 26th April 2008 and L - born 3rd Sept 2010 http://alterna-tickers.com">

Hey Lisa
I also have PCOS with extremely long and random cycles (can be as long as 70 days). Don't think I was ovulating. Clomid made me have a regular cycle and ovulate. 6th cycle worked for us and I'm now 19 weeks pregnant, YAY. Good luck Mel -------------

Take clomid in the evening to lessen the side effects :) -------------

Thanks for the advice Mel! Good to know. I was about to take my first pill this morning but might hold off till tonight
Great to hear your stories! J&Ls Mum - I did a quick internet search and there seems to be a lot of stories about women getting triplets on clomid  I'm sorry for your loss.-------------

Hi Lisa
Hope your first cycle went ok. It's worth it in the end and so many people have success with Clomid. Hopefully your wait is not too long. -------------

| hi ladies, i had a dr apt the other week and clomid was suggested to help me OV. i am on CD51 and blood tests i havent yet OV....? i am a little hesitant taking clomid as dr said there is a possibility of having multiple babies. im ok with twins as they run in my family, but triplets would be scary!! what are your stories with clomid? |

Hi sorry I haven't been in to reply I've been having prolems with my login :)
Spunky I think it's worth it. there's only a 10% chance of multiples and from the point of veiw of someone with twins if you get them they are amazing. I'd be stoked if I got another set lol. They will start you off of the lowest dose of Clomid and give you a scan on your first round to make sure your not popping out multiple eggs. J&LsMum - My first round was alright. I had no side effects while taking the pills but a few days after I finished them I started getting the hot flushes and now I have super sore boobs lol. Got a scan on day 10 and there were a couple of possible eggs but they weren't very big so she didn't think I'd OV this month. Going up to a larger dose next cycle. -------------
