My 2 year old likes to mess with my sleep too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2723530 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:14:35 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2723530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: that sucks<br /> are you temping in addition to OPKs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2723529 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:13:27 +0000 mrskansas 2723529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: Yeah I don't want to waste any time or money. When I went in for my baseline I waited for almost an hour for a 2 min ultrasound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2723527 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:11:07 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2723527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: sounds like a smart plan. I wouldn't want an extra ultrasound if I didn't need it either, no matter how much peace of mind it provides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2723526 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:09:34 +0000 mrskansas 2723526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: They did say I could come in if I really wanted to... I think I'll give it until CD 14 and if I don't have a positive OPK by then I'll see if they can get me in. I'd like to know if I don't respond well that way they can up my dosage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2723517 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:06:58 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2723517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: 10-12 for the initial and then some cycles I went back a few days later before triggering if the follicle wasn't where they wanted it. This past cycle I had an ultrasound on CD10 and then CD 13 and then I triggered on that same day and had the IUI the next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2723515 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:03:51 +0000 mrskansas 2723515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: What cycle day did they have you come in for a follicle check? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2723513 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:02:35 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2723513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: yea monitoring did give me peace of mind over exactly what was happening </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2723511 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:01:25 +0000 mrskansas 2723511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: I'm only CD 8 so I guess I may not feel anything until the follicle(s) gets bigger. This is when I wish I was being monitored so I knew what was going on in there!</p> <p>I'm definitely bloated but I read that's a common side effect of Femara. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2723503 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 13:56:16 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2723503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: I had a decent amount of bloating and general uncomfortableness with the 4 follicles I don't remember twinges though until 2 of them turned into corpus luteum cysts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2723500 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 13:53:11 +0000 mrskansas 2723500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: When you had 4 follicles did you have any cramping or extra ovary "twinges"?<br /> I had a lot of cramping on Clomid and I just finished the Femara and have felt nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2721088 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 19:15:55 +0000 dc yoga bee 2721088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a failed clomid cycle in February. I only had one "mature" follicle, and it was only 15mm on cd 16. I ovulate really late. Anyways, the next cycle (last month) I still ovulated really late, but had a 8 day luetal phase. Normally, mine is 10-11 days long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720927 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 15:07:39 +0000 skiierchck99 2720927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: It's been a while since I did a Clomid but I was totally normal on the next cycle - normal bleeding and cycle timeline.</p> <p>Edited to add that none of my Clomid cycles were monitored, nor were the ones after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720902 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 14:28:16 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2720902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: of course glad to help </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720900 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 14:27:09 +0000 mrskansas 2720900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: yikes 4! I remember that.</p> <p>Well I may be coming to you again for advice if we go with the Femara. Thank you for the wisdom :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720895 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 14:22:23 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2720895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: First femera cycle I was on 5mg and produced 4 follicles second femera cycle I was on 2.5mg and produced 1 follicle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720892 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 14:16:15 +0000 mrskansas 2720892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: I didn't ovulate until CD 20/21 with Clomid so I would love to ovulate earlier.<br /> What dose were you on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720888 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 14:10:49 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2720888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: So many less side effects. The first time I had a little bit of light-headedness but I was trying to make Christmas dinner and probably wasn't drinking enough water. Other than that no side effects, ovulated right at day 14 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720882 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 14:08:23 +0000 mrskansas 2720882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: I had a slow response to Clomid and ended up with a chemical so I think they are hoping I respond better to Femara? I don't know the reasoning but if there are less side effects I'm all for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720880 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 14:05:52 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2720880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: Clomid thinned my lining enough that my doctor wanted me to switch. She really prefers Femera for PCOS patients but since its off label most insurances want to see a failed clomid cycle first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720876 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 13:58:45 +0000 mrskansas 2720876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: I'm still trying to decide if I want to try another medicated cycle. I would switch to Femara instead of Clomid but ugh I have no idea!!<br /> I think I have a baseline ultrasound soon since I'm CD 2 so hopefully I can figure it out before then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720874 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 13:57:40 +0000 mrskansas 2720874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: My natural ovulation is really late so hopefully it will keep it within a more normal time frame! Thanks for your reply :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720864 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 13:45:10 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2720864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After my failed clomid cycle I went right to a femera cycle but after that failed and I had cysts on my ovary and had to be unmedicated for a cycle I ovulated at CD 16 which for me is fantastic before meds the earliest I ever ovulated was CD 20 and often it was CD 25-30. Hopefully it works out similarly for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720850 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 13:34:06 +0000 bhbee 2720850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was normal ... my ovulation date varies between 15-18 usually and it was in there. I conceived #1 on the third round of clomid. With #2 we failed 3-4 cycles and then had a surprise success the month we stopped treatment. So I don't think it will mess you up, hopefully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-failed-clomid-cycle#post-2720741 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 10:58:51 +0000 mrskansas 2720741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had a failed Clomid round and did not take any meds the following month, what was your cycle like? </p> <p>I'm CD 2 coming off Clomid and am just wondering what to expect for this cycle. </p>
