Clomid!!

Anyone out there that used clomid to induce ovulation, which led to pregnancy? If so, are you having singleton or multiples? Girls or boys?

    I took clomid for my current pregnancy. I was also seeing an RE for IF problems. He monitored me every other day, with an ultrasound, to check my folicles. I did fall pregnant, and didn't over produce folicles. The bottom line is to take clomid you should be monitored regularly by an RE.

    I only did clomid 1x with an RE. Yes it resulted in multiple follicles, however it thinned my lining down to almost nothing. I'm happy I was working with an RE who quickly changed the plan for the following cycle. I'm now 9w pg.

    I was being monitored by an IF doc and three follicles ovulated and now I'm pregnant so wasn't sure if anyone else had a similar experience. Finding out in a few weeks how many are in there now :)

    No personal experience. The person I know personally that used monitored Clomid did not respond well. They switched to Femara with a trigger. She had healthy triplet girls this past September.

    That said, others' experiences mean absolutely nothing for you whatsoever.

    I had 2 follicles but my RE said that it was only a 5% chance that both would take. The chances of all follicles turning into sticky babies are very slim. I have one healthy boy, as I go into my third trimester. I wouldn't be to concern about multiples. Did your doctor tell you the size of each follicle ?

    I was on Clomid at the maximum dose they would give (because of the risks mentioned above) for about 6 months. I was finally referred to a different specialist who put me on a mayo cycle. This is a injection of a follicular stimulant to help follicles develop, combined with a "trigger shot" to trigger ovulation. I did the mayo cycle for 4 cycles before developing some large cysts that were problematic. I had to stop all treatment for 2 months because some drugs can cause certain kinds of cysts to grow. When I went in last month, ALL of my cysts were gone! I started a modified mayo cycle (additional injections of follicular stimulant combined with trigger shot) and FINALLY saw that BFP on Wednesday :)

    So the short answer to my long story is no, Clomid didn't do it for me, but it was the beginning of my IF journey.

    I took clomid for my first... unmonitored. It was my 2nd round. 

    For #2 I took 4 cycles of clomid before going to a RE. They dx'd me with PCOS and put me on metformin. I ended up ovulating on my own without any drugs before I was supposed to start my first femara/ovidrel cycle and now am pregnant "spontaneously" with #2!

    Lesson learned: see an RE!

    I had two cycles of clomid from my OB and this second cycle took! She did monitor as I have PCOS, have been on metformin since May 2014, progesterone for periods, and then added clomid.

    After an early US yesterday, I measured small with a heartbeat of 97. My OB has had extensive work and experience with clomid and said I likely ovulated late and am later in my cycle than I thought. I go back next week for another US and assessment. I will keep ya'll posted. Healthy dust to all!
