Clomid Success Stories?

Hello fellow PCOS ladies! This is my first time posting on this support group. I feel so alone in my difficulty getting pregnant. I don't know anyone (friends, family, etc.) who have had issues TTC. It seems like it happens so easily for everyone else. I am on my 2nd month of Clomid 50mg. I just want to know if anyone has had success with Clomid? And if so, how many rounds did it take?

Hello,

My sister-in-law got pregnant on her first round of Clomid. So there is hope! :) I, on the other hand, had to move into more aggressive IF treatments. I hope this is not the case for you. Good luck!

I have two sisters, and all three of us have PCOS!

My one sister got pregnant on her second round of Clomid doing timed intercourse while being monitored by the RE. I have to say I'm jealous because I have done 6 rounds of Clomid without any luck, and now I've moved onto Femara with injectables (Follistim). I did have a chemical pregnancy on a cycle with Clomid though...

My other sister got pregnant with her second child on her second cycle of Clomid (her first child took her a lot longer to have).

Everyone's different, but it does help to know that some people have had success with it! I hope it works for you too! Good luck, sending you lots of baby dust! :)

And I also want to say this is a great group for support, and you are not alone! I know how hard it is, and I am fortunate that I have sisters who have gone through it so they do understand. It's still hard because they have had success, and they're busy with their children, and I feel left behind. They also seem to think that since it happened for them, it will happen for me. And yes, it may, and I hope it does, but there is no guarantee...

But it is even harder to be around people who have had no trouble and don't get it. They don't realize how much it consumes our lives, and that we are going through a life crisis.

This support group definitely helps. It's a great place to vent and get support when you need it. I'm sorry you are going through this, and I wish you all the best!

Thank you so much ladies for your comments. Every cheer and reassurance helps. I am currently in my 2WW after Clomid round #2. Fingers crossed.A BFP would be an excellent Christmas present! Good luck to you both. :)

Welcome!

So I kind of have a success/fail story. Ive had 3 miscarriages when my husband and I did it on our own. Our 4th miscarriage occurred when I was on clomid (i did 2 rounds and was pregnant). I call it a success/fail because we made it to 9 weeks with clomid. We only ever made it to 6.5 or less without it. We got to see the heart beat and watch it grow every week, it was truly amazing.

Although the end result was the same it was still provided hope that one day I may be able to have my baby.

Best of luck and keep us updated!
