me, TTC and Clomid

Those who were diagnosed with PCOS must have been introduced to Clomid.

That's the one I had last 2 years, after about 8 months having between 45-days' to 50-days' menstrual cycle, beginning from the month we got married. It was prescribed by the gynae I saw, Dr Seri, in Prince Court Medical Centre once she scanned my uterus and saw those little follicles (undeveloped eggs-which according to her, I have a lot of them..lazy eggs!)

So I was told to take 3 pills every night from day 2 to day 6 of my cycle.
To which I did, and gained 2 things:-
1) Shorter menstrual cycle, from 45-days' to 30-days' & 33-days' in the first and second month, respectively (but my period was shorter, heavy only on the 2nd day and the rest were like just spotting)
2) WEIGHT! Huhu :(
3) No baby.

After 2 months, I consulted her again & she told me that I "was not ovulating much". Sedih ok. Macam takde harapan :( I was also advised to reduce my weight, but I told her, I gained some with Clomid. She then prescribed me "Metformin" to help balance my insulin level that was possibly interrupted by Clomid.

I was disappointed. Being used to take Shaklee supplements when I was single, I just refused to take drugs and more drugs to correct my system. So I stopped, and that's the end of my chapter with Clomid.

I read many testimonials on Clomid as well, some succeeded, and some just experienced the same thing like I did (yeah, the exact 3 things :P). I do not regret taking it though, as it was fated that I have no rezeki with Clomid.

Or perhaps Allah knows that I need more time being just with my Hubs,and no other.

Love,

on another note..

I kind of love this new layout :)

And I kind of love sharing what I am trying out too, actually, but I wish I cud have more time to elaborate and share.

Anyway, I am putting up a shoutbox in case, just in case, if anyone would like to drop a word (or better still, questions) so I cud know what should I write on in times lost for direction, hehe.

Love,

2 months' menstrual cycle and 12 days period?

My cycle is craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy.
So my last cycle lasted for exactly 70 days. SEVENTY FRIKIN DAYS.

How did I finally get my period, u ask?
Yes, I tried the Dimes Pineapple Juice. Didn't work.
And yes, next is ECPI. Drank 1.5L. Didn't work. (Last time it worked after abt 1L)
Tried the pineapple juice again, this time it's Just Juice. Didn't work.
Then I bulldozed my way into Herba Maharani. After 1.5 boxes...

there it came.

Should I credit it to Herba Maharani?
I would not rule out that it helps, but maybe, just maybe, it was just about time.

I am now on Day 10 of my new cycle and am still having light period, after 4 days of light period, 1 of normal flow, 2 days of heavy period (I stained my bed every nite) and 2 days of normal flow again. Phew.
Assuming another 2 days of spotting, that will make a 12-day period. Double phew.

I don't know what caused my period to skip a month, and I don't know what stimulated it to "come out" (haha!). Stress? Not really, except selalu merajuk with Hubster..:P Food? Impossible, since I've been religiously taking my supplements and avoiding coffee. (I read in Pregnancy Miracle that coffee is an absolute no-no). And the fact that I've been wearing the miracle corset makes it even more unjustified to have a crazy cycle, for it claims that it helps balancing the hormones in the body. Jadi mengapakah cycleku gila??

Love,
