    Hi there

    Firstly please dont panic when u read all those stuff on the net.
    Most of the scenarios are in ideal world. Every woman's experience is
    different and these are only guidelines and not the ultimate mantras.

    Nothing wrong with clomid. Yes they do ask u to take it for 3 cycles.
    Although I have had friends who have stopped after 6 cycles and then
    they have fallen pregnant. If your menstrual cycle is normal, then u will
    know approximately when your mid cycle period is. I am sure u are
    keeping track of all that is needed to find out when u r ovulating... like
    I used ovulation kit.

    One lesson I have learnt from a Chinese doctor is, try every alternate
    day and not just a few days on either side of ovulation day to cover
    yourself.


    You need to relax dear and trust the medication u r having. Tell yourself
    that it is for your good and do what is necessary. The more in detail
    we go to investigate these things, the more frustrated we get ... Dont
    do that. Ignorance is bliss sometimes and it works without fail...

    Good luck.

    HI Aishu,
    Clomid is recommended throughout world for infertility treatments....
    Every doctor knows the side effects behind it.... Still they are recommending it because of the goodness it does.... Don't get confused with all these info... Every medicine has good & bad part with it...
    Clomid has done wonders for many.... It is recommended to take only for 6 months in succession! After that gynec/RE change the treatment!
    Relax....
    Baby dust to you...

    Hello Aish,

    Do not get panic first of all. 100% clomid will dry out our CM. I never had my CM in my cycle1 clomid but still I ovulated and am pregnant now. Have faith in clomid. It did wonders for 3 ladies(including me) to get pregnant in cycle1 itself. I was also worried like you only. How many mg of clomid are you taking?

    Also, you took only for 5 days right starting from day 3-7? Let me know !
    Off the clomid you need to wait for 10-15 days or so to check your ovulation day. Dont stress yourself. Keep checking.

    Note - But do not wait till to see your ovulation day dear. You keep trying IC off the clomid. We never know the exact ovulation day also sometimes. Every alternate day you do IC and on ovulation day again do IC. Hope this helps !

    Dear Aish,

    Iam doing good. Thanks for asking :p. Wow, clomid 50mg day 3-7(same as my GYN suggested). Good progress ! Never worry now. Clomid will do wonders. It will help in the formation of eggs and ovulation to happen. Then when a sperm enters that egg it will get fertilized. One more thing did you go for scan >clomid? I was asked to go for scan to check if my follicles are developed well or not. Harhar.

    Dont worry about tracking ovulation and all. I would tell that itself is a STRESS. I was doing OPK testing and day 1- 7 there was nothing but a faint line and daily I used to cry to my DH whether I will ovulate or not ! DH will make me bold. Day 8&9 of OPK testing I got +ve but I never believed only. But still we tried to check our level best.

    One more tip dear. Before ovulating there will be cramps in your lower abs. It is a very good sign. OPK or temperature testing and all are not at all required if you get those cramps. Then 100% sure you are going to ovulate after that pain. I faced that.

    DH semen test will come good. Dont worry. Did GYN asked you to take that also?

    yes my gyne asked to check his semen on the safe side.so if any problem is there means we can start treating for that too, so we took that test too. my only problem is we are in fiji here medical is not that much good thinking what can i do if i have to face ivf/iui.
    and one more thing i dint take any scan yet on which day we have take the scan
