Clomid has been stopped :(

[Anonymous29]

So following on from my last post, they have stopped me from taking anymore clomid as I have not gotten my period naturally so they obviously aren't working. (Definetly not pregnant either)

Feeling a little bit heartbroken to be honest, I stupidly let myself get excited by thinking I could be pregnant by Christmas, or birthdays etc. And the reality is I'm now back to square one. I queried about being allowed to try letrezole but this can't be decided until my next consultation which won't be for a few months.

Trying to think of some positives but I'm really struggling. Don't really know what to do now other than patiently wait 😭

Hi. Oh dear, sorry to hear this, but I am hoping there will be other avenues to try. Perhaps you will be tried on letrozole. I do hear of successes using it instead of Clomid. Try not to lose heart even if you need to move on to IVF. Your clinicwant you to be successful too. Do have a look at our support group pages and what’s going on, om the Home page too. If you feel you need to speak to a counsellor, have a look at bica.net an excellent fertility counselling charity. All the best. Diane

When you say you didn't get your period naturally. Did you not ovulate on clomid at all then

I don't get periods naturally, so I had to take clomid in conjuction with provera to bring on a bleed . I did get pregnant but miscarried 3 years ago and couldn't seem to get pregnant again so we went for ivf

So 1st month I got given provera and then took clomid, and didn't ovulate. 2nd month I got my period naturally, and ovulated from clomid. 3rd month got my period naturally but didn't ovulate. And haven't gotten my period this month. They won't give me provera again because they don't want me to continue taking clomid if it isn't working

Took me 4 cycles of clomid for it to actually work properly in my system. My previous 3 cycles I was ovulating erratically on cycle days 30 , 40+ 50+ ect . 4th cycles onwards I ovulated on day 14 and then it somehow kicked my ovaries intot working and I actually started ovulating on my own and getting periods every month for the first time in my life. We tried for almost 2 year after the miscarriage but it just didn't happen ahain so ivf was only option for us. You'll get there in end. Lost of baby dust

So did you ovulate late? Because I'm on day 45 of my cycle, but my CM would indicate ovulation so just not really sure what's going on 🥺 my issue is my BMI isn't at IVF level yet so working hard to get that where it needs to be

[XXKKXX in reply to Anonymous29]

First 4 cycles ovulate didn't happen until really late as late as 40 , 50+ days. I think it took a few months for it to kick into my system

[Anonymous29 in reply to XXKKXX]

Thank you! Well I genuinely think I could be ovulating now but will just have to see what happens. Thank you for replying xx

By the way, my advice is don't waste too many cycles if you do decide to try letrozole. I know a few ladies from my group online wasted months and months trying letrozole after clomid before moving onto ivf.
