Today is my first cycle taking Clomid...50 mg CD3-7 and will do IUI as soon as I have a positive OPK. I ovulate regularly on my own, however my DH's SA showed low cout so I'm hoping to improve our chances of releasing more than one good egg. Besides weight gain I have read that it causes moodiness, I sure hope not because my DH will probably put me out the house seeing that I'm already a handfull right now.
Has anyone had any sucess ssyories?

Welcome TSIMMONS1123! Glad to have you here. I've just completed my third cycle with clomid and I got my first BFP this morning. I started at 50 mg and the last two cycles have been 100 mg. Don't worry about any particular side effect, because Clomid really affects each woman differently. My first round I had two bad migraines, but I haven't had any side effects with the last two rounds. I also didn't have the horrible mood swings that I read about, although I know there have been some people on here who have experienced those and have just prayed that their DHs would be understanding. You never know how your body will respond to it. I wish you the best of luck with clomid and your iui. I hope one cycle is all it takes for you to get your! BFP!

I go this afternoon for another beta. I'll probably not get the results until tomorrow.
I'm not really spotting anymore. I didn't test this morning with a frer, only with a dollar store test. If I squint hard enough, I could swear there was a line there, but I've been there, done that before.
I'll keep you guys posted.

Hi Tsimmons. Everyone affected by clomid differently im on my 3rd cycle at 50mg and i have got progressively moodier and more irrational every cycle. I take it day 2 to 6. First cycle didnt put it down to anything and took me till about day 6 to click. My weepiness, moodiness and irrationality has started on day 3 each cycle and lasted until about CD 17. (Im not normally this bad lol). Luckily my partner fab and just ignores it, or goes with it once we clicked to it was the hormones. Mind you we are quite open. I said to him today, hey hun, have you recovered from last month yet. His reply was oh god is it that time already. All in jest, I hasten to add (although bding is very mechanical at the mo). Been trying for 2 years, and im in the old bracket, 37, so dont know if theyll give us more or go further as yet. We are now bding from day 6 every other day as although my bloods showing im ovulating, i havent had a positive opk yet.
By the way what is beta testing guys?

@lisserb: I'm sorry your beta test came back so low! I sure hope it was a fluke and you're pregnant!
@looplyns: beta testing generally refers to beta HCG (pregnancy hormone) levels., It's a blood pregnancy test. In a non-pregnant woman, they are less than 10 mIU/ml. They are typically about 100 mIU/ml 14 days after ovulation in a healthy singleton pregnancy. They should double every 48- 72 hours in a healthy pregnancy.
@felurian: Thanks! I hope you get your BFP soon!
