TTC after 35
clomid anyone
New to the message board. I am 38 and hubby and I have been doing the ovulation pee sticks for 4 months, charting on the calendar when I should ovulate and have been having un protected sex for one year. Just started my first round of clomid in Aug. Not expecting much, my AF is due on friday. I am having pms cramps and all my normal symptoms of pms so I am not feeling lucky. Anyone been through the clomid trials?

Re: clomid anyone
Hi there! I am also new to the boards, having just joined today. I am 37...will be 38 in a few months. I have 3 kids from my 1st marriage. I got remarried 1 1/2 years ago and we have been trying ever since then to get pregnant without success as he has a very low sperm count. I did Clomid for 6 months ( and so did hubby) and the last 3 months we did IUI...still no luck
We used donor sperm this month...just yesterday actually and are hoping for a BFP!
I always ovulate, but on Clomid I have several big follicles. I can tell you that the higher dose of Clomid makes me have a very heavy period with more clots than usual. I also cramp a bit more. The Clomid also makes me weepy and I get horrible headaches, but I get headaches a lot anyway.
BTW....When I got pregnant with my oldest child, I had PMS type cramps and bloating. I didn't believe it when the nurse said I was pregnant! I kept saying...."but I have cramps!" lol. I had gone in to get a MMR booster, in case I ever became pregnant, and they do a preg. test prior to vaccination....that was how I found out....about fell outta my chair! So, chin up.....those may not be PMS cramps after all!!!
I know....but I am tired of getting my hopes up every month. I usually can't wait and take a preg test early. Then I get mad I wasted a test. Lol. I also have kids from a prev. Marriage. My oldest is 16 and my youngest is 12. It took over a year with each of those and I was young! My hubby just thinks we get more "practice". I am not sureholme hubbies get it. They are not taking hormones, peeing on sticks and feeling fake implantation cramps. I know he is just trying to lighten things up for me, but still.
My kids are getting ready to turn 16, 12, and 8...we have a little in common there. I dread my ds getting his license...scary!
I know what you mean about taking the preg tests. I do the same darn thing.....buy a test because I can't wait and then get mad because I wasted money on it when I should have just waited.
My heart just breaks when I get my period or have a negative test. I just feel so bad for DH, he wants to be a father so bad....to experience someone calling him Daddy and watching that child grow....
Hang in there!!!!!
I had clomid last month and and IUI that did not work. Dr. put me back on Clomid the day after AF showed up. I am 36 with no children. Good luck! I hope you get your bfp soon!
