1st Clomid cycle CD13 no follicles over 1cm

Hi all

so I had been feeling quite positive the last few days, I have been getting like ovary twinges so thought maybe something was occurring!

I had my internal scan today on day 13 of my cycle, my lining is 8.8 so they were happy with that but neither ovary is showing any follicles over 1cm. I have got to have another scan on Monday to see if there have been any further developments and if not next cycle will be 100mg dose of Clomid.

Before starting clomid when I had tried ovulation test kits in the past I had only ever got 1 line, the past two days I have done tests I have had two lines, the second line has been faint so not a positive result but again I think this got my hopes up that we are moving in the right direction.

I can't help but feel a bit disheartened. I'm not too sure what I am looking for with this post but needed to express how I am feeling to those I know will understand!

We have been trying to conceieve for so long now and losing the weight to get clomid has been such a struggle, I was so happy when I got the clomid and was able to start it, I tried not to get my hopes up too much but something inside me was just hoping this would go a bit more smoothly then it feels it is.

Best wishes and love to all

Try not to worry, they can up you does to help you produce more folicules especially as your having folicule tracking they will monitor you before increasing your dose. You lining is lovely and think 😊 xx

Thanks :-) considering I had a provera induced very heavy bleed 2 weeks ago (first time in about 4/5months) I was quite happy that my lining had thickened xx

Yes defiantly...I struggle with my lining on clomid however I had 8.9 month one just make sure they monitor you next month too as mine decreased to half the following month. Finger crossed a higher dosage works for you x

Try not to worry too much! Your follicles might just grow bigger later in your cycle. It’s good to stay monitored so you have a rough idea of when to baby dance and to see what’s going on in there! If they have to upp your dose it might just be that you need a bit more of a kick start. Have everything crossed for you🤞🏼. I know clomid is the devil drug! Xxx

Wishing you luck. I never knew if I’d ovulated or not on clomid, I didn’t have scans just 21 days blood tests, 100mg worked best for me so don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t work first go and I got pregnant on a cycle where I was convinced it hadn’t worked!

so another scan today and still no follicles :-( got to have a blood test a week today to check progesterone levels and if negative still got to start all again, more provera then higher dose of clomid. Have had 5 days of really bad ovary pain and bloating and lower back pain so really thought something was happening. I have been in so much pain for days that the thought of starting again is scary as such but I want a child so much id rather suffer with the pain. Trying so hard to stay positive but struggling today
