I ended up at an RE and have done clomid plus trigger plus iui. The first one failed and I'll have my second on Monday. Sorry I cant give you better news but everyone is different! I hope just taking clomid works out for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2206878 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 12:58:36 +0000 mrsleanos2014 2206878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BrianaK: My doc just put me on 50mg of Clomid because my stats were 11.83 7 DPO last cycle. He states, "weak ovulation." I'm age 31. I am not being monitored either, just taking the Clomid. What was your experience like? Did you get pregnant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2106590 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 19:51:57 +0000 Emilia80 2106590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bea: Wow 20 cycles I'm so sorry to hear that. So glad that clomid was successful for u. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2106539 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 19:28:13 +0000 Bea 2106539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emilia80: our infertility was unexplained. It took us around 20 cycles to get pregnant. My hsg showed clear tubes and DH's SA came back normal. I had a short LP and the doctor thought I wasn't ovulating strong enough. So she prescribed clomid. I took the medication in the morning with my breakfast. I have read that some women who experienced negative symptoms would take it at night before bed so they could sleep through the symptoms. I think it varies so you just have to figure out what works for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2106466 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:49:39 +0000 Emilia80 2106466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bea: omg congratulations on ur bfp. Wishing u a happy and healthy 9 months. This is exciting news. If u don't mind me asking why were u on clomid..?? Any infertility issues?</p> <p>And I'm so glad to hear that u bc everyday leading up to o day bc I will be on holidays and well u know when ur on holidays naturally it's going to happen everyday and actually my partner loves it twice a day lol sorry tmi hahhaa so most likely we will bd more than once a day and I was getting worried bc everything I've read says don't bd everyday only eod. So this has been on my mind a lot but u know what, if it's meant to be it will. So everyday it is.</p> <p>Glad to hear u didn't have any side affects, is there a better time to take it? Like morning over night? When did u take yours? Did u take it same time everyday? </p> <p>And so glad o day is still around cd14 so not much will change for me but I will use opk just in case. I gotta pack them in my suitcase lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2106383 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 17:11:31 +0000 Bea 2106383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emilia80: also, my typical cycles were about 23 days with ovulation almost always occurring on day 14. Both cycles on clomid I ovulated at the same time--day 14. It did lengthen my cycle the first round but ovulation timing remained the same. :) just my experience!</p> <p>We normally BD EOD until a few days before O and switch to every day. Our successful cycle, we BD starting on day 6 EOD. However, I think we BD twice the day I ovulated. It wasn't planned that way I was just randomly attacked by DH hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2106378 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 17:01:11 +0000 Bea 2106378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emilia80: I got pregnant on my second cycle of clomid. Had our first ultrasound today and am measuring right on track 8 weeks 3 days. </p> <p>I took clomid days 3-7 and didn't really notice many side effects. I would get hot flashes at night so I wasn't sleeping well. The cycle I got pregnant I had some intense pain and cramping around ovulation. </p> <p>Good luck! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2104763 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 00:20:30 +0000 Emilia80 2104763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Got my clomid. So excited. really hope it works. Gyno said he usually monitors but bc I'm going on holidays during that time he was willing to allow me to go un monitored this cycle and if it didn't work then he would monitor the next 2!!!<br /> My understanding is clomid makes u ovulate earlier, I o on cd14 always bang on that day, so how much earlier would I o when on clomid?? Any experiences with u girls? Gyno advised to bd from cd12! I feel like that might be too late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2104470 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 18:32:48 +0000 Emilia80 2104470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: amazing! Hope im as lucky as u. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2104378 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 17:18:14 +0000 travellingbee 2104378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emilia80: no side effects here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2104351 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:42:08 +0000 Emilia80 2104351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: im seeing an ob. Just about to go see him soon. Will keep u posted .i won't be here cd12 that's when my holiday starts so unfort bad timing but hopefully he will not need to monitor. How u feeling with it? Any side affects? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2104348 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:40:37 +0000 Emilia80 2104348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: thank u, well I remember at my last consult he suggested I try injectibles but I'm not sure whether I want to do that or clomid, I think clomid first. Did u have any side affects? I'm going away and last thing I need on my holidays is bad side affects which will kill my holiday. Did clomid work for u? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2103651 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 10:21:37 +0000 travellingbee 2103651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emilia80: Are you going to an RE or an OB? I don't think OBGYNs typically do monitoring, but RE's usually do. I am doing a monitored clomid cycle right now. You take clomid days 5-9 and then they bring you in to monitor on CD12, and they keep checking every few days to see when your follicle(s) are ready to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2103540 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 09:12:27 +0000 NorthStar 2103540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emilia80: I wasn't monitored either. I only had my progesterone level checked, which was very high and therefore, I ovulated. good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2103532 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 09:10:47 +0000 BrianaK 2103532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emilia80: I'm actually not being montitored... I was montitored last month not on clomid to check for o with ultrasound and a blood test. Both were perfect, but clomid is just the next step hopefully it gives my o some oomph </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2103379 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 07:30:55 +0000 Emilia80 2103379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BrianaK: are u being monitored while on it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2103375 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 07:23:19 +0000 Emilia80 2103375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: if I start clomid tnis cycle which I am on cd1, I heard u start taking the pills about cd5? What days do they start monitoring u? Bc I will be on holidays for a week, starting cd11, would tnis mean If I need to be monitored I won't be able to start clomid next month while I'm here to be monitored, I don't mind having twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2103371 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 07:20:29 +0000 Emilia80 2103371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bea: how is the clomid working for u? Have u had any success..??<br /> What about side affects?<br /> Am considering starting clomid this cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2096516 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 11:49:39 +0000 BrianaK 2096516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: that's exactly why my doc is putting me on Clomid this month! I hope it works for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-2095132 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 15:50:28 +0000 BrianaK 2095132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor just put me on clomid this cycle after all the tests have shown nothing wrong. I o on my own and a week after o my progesterone was at a 17. But he suggested clomid this time around so we are giving it a try and im praying for my bfp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-1994168 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 10:07:22 +0000 NorthStar 1994168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Thanks! Since I'm with my OB, I was hesitant to do Clomid since I'm not monitored as much. I had the choice between the two...:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-1994158 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 10:00:09 +0000 LindsayInNY 1994158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: I did 3 cycles of Clomid, 2 with IUIs. My final IUI (which was successful) was with Femara! My OB swears by Femara over Clomid - hopefully that's it for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-1994109 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 09:18:04 +0000 NorthStar 1994109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the same boat as you, so am very interested in these responses! The only difference is that I'm on my third cycle of femara, instead of clomid. Our timing wasn't great last cycle, so hoping this one works! </p> <p>Just be aware that you might ovulate sooner than expected, so keep that in mind when timing BD. I ovulated 2 days earlier last cycle, which took me off guard and with it happening over Thanksgiving at my parents, was too hard to do BD.</p> <p>Good luck!! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-1994081 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 08:57:53 +0000 Banana330 1994081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bea: A friend tried for over 16 months no reason why it wasn't working, i think they got pregnant on their third cycle of clomid. now 14w! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-1994066 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 08:50:20 +0000 MrsADS 1994066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It worked for me in a similar situation.</p> <p>I was getting positive OPKs, cervical mucus, etc. but it was weird. I wasn't ovulating until CD 24-28 which my dr said was much too late. They said that indicated that something was wrong with my hormones - it wasn't a "strong enough" ovulation, or something, bc it was happening so late. When my dr did an ultrasound during my "natural" cycle prior to O, they could only find one small follicle, so it didn't look that great anyway.</p> <p>And after I O'ed, I would get my period like a week or so later. My progesterone after O was very low too, so I never could have sustained a pregnancy even if I had gotten pg. (I was diagnosed with luteal phase defect). My doctor said he thinks it's all related - if my hormones were working properly so I O'd earlier (with a "stronger" ovulation), then my luteal phase issue/low P might resolve itself.</p> <p>We also had some male factor infertility, so we did Clomid + IUI and I got pregnant the first cycle we did it! I know that is very uncommon so I feel lucky. But I really think the Clomid is what I needed. So I think it is definitely worth a try! </p> <p>Oh, and they monitored me on the Clomid, and leading up to O (I had a trigger shot), I had 3 follicles and they were much bigger and healthier looking.</p> <p>ETA... now I am 4w6d pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-1993990 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 06:32:29 +0000 travellingbee 1993990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Originally, they were going to put me on clomid (but my fsh came back too high), and I asked them why since I O on my own. They said there is plenty of evidence to show that helps even women who O get pregnant. :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-1993841 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 21:38:03 +0000 Bea 1993841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for sharing! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/success-stories-ovulating-on-your-own-clomid#post-1993795 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 20:40:42 +0000 LAZB 1993795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I Oed on my own, but had a short luteal phase, so my doctor put me on clomid to O stronger. It worked for me two times, both on the first round. </p>
