I don't have any specific tips (haven't been on Clomid) but I just wanted to wish you best of luck!

No experience here either, but good luck with your journey!

@sweetchic: i've heard that clomid really affects some women, but i honestly had no side effects that i can recall. i only had one viable egg on both cycles (a lot of women have more than one), and got pregnant on the second cycle. i did miscarry though at 8 weeks 6 days though (my second miscarriage... first time getting pregnant happened naturally and i miscarried), but we had an autopsy done and it was due to a chromosomal abnormality (what causes most miscarriages), so there was nothing we could have done.

anyway... i have a friend that conceived twins on clomid after trying for a long time, and i know that many women have gotten pregnant successfully on clomid. i wish you lots and lots of luck!

oh and we did an iui the time i got pregnant which increases your chances. i think it was a couple hundred dollars more to do iui, and i can't remember if it was covered by insurance....

@sweetchic: they did an ultrasound to see how many i had.

iui stands for intrauterine insemination. basically they stick the sperm inside you. it's painless and easy (except for the hubby who has to do his business into a cup at the re's office). it increases your chances of getting pregnant by inserting the strongest sperm (it goes inside a centrifuge first).

the chances of twins are increased and everyone is afraid of it, but i only know of one person who actually had twins so i wouldn't worry.

I'm currently pregnant from an IUI cycle with Clomid. I was on 100mcg along with a shot of Gonal-F and a trigger shot of Ovidrel to induce Ovulation. I had tried 50mcg of Clomid unmonitored and using OPK's and nothing. Clomid can make you feel rather grouchy. I also had lots of ovulation pains both times.

I think I would want to be monitored while on Clomid, I felt the piece of mind was worth it, but I have good IF insurance coverage and I'm old at 38.

I haven't had my first ultrasound yet, so idea if there's multiples in there. My RE reminded me of the risk before the IUI as we knew I had two follicles on the right side and I think two on the left side, which is my likely blocked tube side.

Sorry for the book.

I had hot flashes on Clomid, but that's it.

Are they going to have you take Provera to start a period first? You have to take Clomid on specific days of your cycle.

I had 3 follicles each month on Clomid and probably ovulated 2 of them (the third was usually pretty small).

I was on 50 mg.
