1219499 tn?1410749730 I was also ovulating but she wanted to put me on Clomid for other reasons. I am also taking Estrogen in the pill form and she also wants to put me on Progesterone suppositories. I might just pass on the suppositories and instead do the weekly Progesterone shot when I get my BFP. My first cycle I had all the side effects - headaches (all day, every day), hot flashes, mood swings, and dry CM. This month my body must have been prepared and I havent had any side effects.
Avatar f tn THIS IS MY FIRST ROUND OF FERTILITY DRUGS. I'M WAS ON CLOMID 100MG FOR CD 3-8 ITS NOW CD10 AND ME AND DH ARE STARTING OUR BD, BUT I WAS WONDERING THIS IS KINDA OF TMI KINDA THING BUT HAS ANYONE EVER HAD THERE VAGINA SWELL UP AFTER TAKING CLOMID. ITS REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE WE ARE HAVING SEX IT DOESN'T LOOK SWOLLEN BUT IT FEEL LIKE IT IS AND ITS REALLY SORE. I DIDN'T KNOW IF I SHOULD CALL THE RE OF IF ITS NORMAL?
Avatar f tn On the other hand, if for unexplained infertility with regular periods, then if clomid is going to work it should have done so within the first three tries. If this is the case. you might want to speak with your provider about more complex treatment options such as injection medications or IVF. Good luck!
212720 tn?1304375415 ) This time around doctor wants to do Clomid, Estrogen and Progesterone. Anyone else have this mix of meds and how fast did it work? Doctor said it does increse my chances an addl 20% each month.
Avatar f tn We are planning to switch to injectables if no success with clomid. My RE is concerned about overstim with injectables bc my response to clomid is so strong, so wants to give clomid another try first.
404837 tn?1290609027 I had to take estrogen too to counteract the thining the clomid was doing. I usually took two pills twice daily on day 7-11 I think. I was worried about taking it to since it says you shouldn't take if you are trying to get pregnant?
Avatar f tn t get pregnant that she was goin g to prescribe me estrogen pills to thicken my uterine walls. I did the clomid cycle and estrogen pills. Today I started my progesterone pills. Saturday I started experience lower back pain. I think I ovulated early also. I usually have ovulation on 16 day of luteal phase. I want to know if these symptoms I am having are side effects of medications? I'm currently taking. I forgot to mention I'm diagnosis with PCOS and currently lost 33 lbs.
Avatar f tn Hi, I only had thin endometrium with clomid, even while taking estrogen supplement. Thin endometrium is a known side effect of clomid. I then took femara. I had no problems with this one and am now 9 weeks pregnant. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn My folicles (though i have a lot) were too small, like 7cm and my bloodwork came back with low estrogen levels. She wants to see me in 2 weeks. But I have so many questions? Why two weeks, I want to start resolving this matter right away? Do you think I'll be still taking the clomid, what are the next steps?
Avatar f tn I ended up get preg just by taking the metformin...If u dont want to take the clomid I would stay on the metformin and test next month for ouvlation... I have oulated without the clomid...
733930 tn?1286571409 also whenever i looked it up anything on provera there was always someone taking clomid afterward. is it very common to not ovulate on your own after Provera? How many of you have started ovulating on your own after Provera. i am TTC and sick of waiting for AF and ovulation.
Avatar f tn t get pregnant after four to six cycles on an ovulatory dose of clomid, seek referral to a fertility specialist, who will discuss treatment either with shots of FSH or with IVF. adding estrogen and/or progesterone in the latter part of the cycle after taking clomid also can help, and may be a reasonable alternative to moving on to more advanced therapy. clomid can be a double edged sword- it helps you ovulate, but also may disrupt your uterine lining.
1385769 tn?1279563060 Clomid can also make you have higher estrogen levels, so maybe that is what your doc is thinking as far as clomid thickening your lining. If lining is thinned due to clomid side effect, then estrogen supplement won't help (that was the case with me). Although my lining was very thin on 1st cycle of clomid, my RE had me continue 3 more tries with clomid, saying that lining responds differently every time, and they wanted to establish pattern of thin lining.
415867 tn?1323365503 I am on my 2nd cycle with clomid. There are some side effects of taking the clomid like hot flashes ect. but I haven't really had them. Clomid is to make you ovulate. and depending on what dosage you take whether you increase your chances of twins or triplets I think. I know a few girls that took it and only got pregnant with 1 baby. I do chart my BBT with it and use OPK's to give me a better idea of when I am going to O. Cost of clomid...
1124147 tn?1319061886 Has anyone out there ever gotten pregnant while doing an IUI taking metformin & clomid., but have low estrogen levels although follicles are growing & progestrone levels are good.
Avatar n tn Iam on my third cycle on clomid 100mg, after taking 50mg for my first and second cycle, I real wish God will bless me with pregnancy this months, is there anybody with success on 100mg!! baby wishes to all of you.
Avatar f tn m a little confused after reading quite a few post by others who have also used clomid that many seem to be taking clomid at the start of their menstral cycle. Is there a reason why my doctor would have me start before my menstral cycle begins?
480265 tn?1221244303 I honestly would have to disagree with Chicky30. I was on 7 IUI cycles with clomid. It thinned my lining to the point where I only had my period for one day. My lining was only measuring at 4..it needs to be at least 9 for an egg to implant. This cycle we did straight follistim and no clomid and I'm finally pregnant. This time with the follistim it was a 10.5.
Avatar f tn No I have not heard of taking estrogen to help with CM, but I will ask at my next appt. I am taking 2600mg of EPO and dr is fine with that.
1668776 tn?1375485481 Since im taking the estrogen I dont think i will have a problem with CM. Plz keep me in your prayers..Ill be so dissapointed if this doesnt work...but I can only wait on the Lord.
Avatar f tn Today was my appt and my lining was 4, still way too thin. RE said based on my follicles he did not think that lack of estrogen was a problem, but that the lining just wasn't responding to the estrogen (side effect of the clomid, he said). Too late to do anything about it for this cycle anyhow, I guess. He did a blood test to check my estrogen. Based on the results of the blood test he will decide if we should try clomid + estrogen next month or something different.
Avatar n tn hello ladies, i just had my day 3 labs done ,and come to find out that my estrogen levels are extremly low, lt was 16. my obgyn told me not to worry about this and we would try clomid. ( which i know i dont have problems ovulating. i have been reading and i believe that estrogen plays a very important role in conceiving! am i wrong? do levels get higher throughout your cycle? has anyone had troubles conceiving with low levels? . can someone take estrogen supplements?
