Clomid Success anyone?

Pentel- where did you go for accupunture?? I used a woman called Ou, she'll come to your house. 050 6328378, if she doesn't answer she'll call you back.

do some googling yourself my love... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic

For those who needed researches on stress and infertility.. pls spend few mins googling.. The Science of Stress and Fertility the effects of stress may be different for each woman. "Stress may cause one set of reactions in one woman, and something else in another, so ultimately the reasons behind how or why stress impacts fertility may also be very individual," While doctors may not know the exact links between stress and fertility, a series of studies shows the impact is hard to ignore. In research published in the journal Human Reproduction, doctors compared pregnancy rates in couples that reported being stressed and those who were not. What they found: Pregnancy was much more likely to occur during months when couples reported feeling "good" -- happy and relaxed. It was less likely to occur during the months they reported feeling tense or anxious anyways am happy the actual person who wanted few thoughts from ppl of same prob is happy.. so i dont need to care abt ppl who complain or comment on others :) Sorry if my comment has disturbed you, but mine was actually to my friend pentel who felt am ''sic'' and wanted medical research linked. pentel Posts 535 thanks for that summary abby, lot more informative than simply being told "Stress is one of the main reason for not getting pregnant (sic) although I'm not convinced it's the main reason for not conceiving. pentel Posts 535 Kalai_Rathish wrote: Stress is one of the main reason for not getting pregnant, so be happy, think positive, all the best. could you please link to the medical research for this?

I get the picture! All I am saying is for someone like me who had been TTC for 2 years with major fertility issues, the people telling me to stop worrying about and just relax it will hapen made it worse for me! Of course we tried to relax, I tried to forget about it, got a job, took a holiday and nothing worked! You know what did - IVF! So being in a stress free world doesn't always work obviously! Your comment "so i dont need to care abt ppl who complain or comment on others" wasn't very nice by the way!! OP - good luck! I know how it feels when you TTC, I was on clomid too, then IUI, then IVF if you have any questions please shout :) <em>edited by Pingu on 01/08/2011</em>

thanks for that summary abby, lot more informative than simply being told "Stress is one of the main reason for not getting pregnant" (sic) although I'm not convinced it's the [i'>main [/i'>reason for not conceiving. as for the babydust remark, fair doos I should keep my feelings to myself about that but it makes my teeth itch, it's such a juvenile turn of phrase, I appreciate the sentiment behind it but come on!! so to the OP... best of luck and I can highly recommend acupuncture (used here to ensure ovulation on one side as I only have one tube)

t i know i'm not 6... but i'm still a little girl at heart and love to express my best wishes to a person in any form or way... since this is such an anonymous forum we really can't do anything much for a person other than provide them with some support, prayers and best wishes... and of course any sort of advice we can give.... This sums it up beautifully! Re the comment about baby dust etc - each to their own. But whatever way one expresses good luck and best wishes to another is meant in the best way possible, and in my case when I send people good wishes it comes from the heart. I don't think its nice to be negative about whatever words are chosen. So, to the OP and all other women out there TTC, all the very best! I truly hope one day soon you are blessed with a beautiful little bundle of love. X

this one is specifically for pentel & pingu... Emory University’s Dr. Sarah Berga describes the link between stress and infertility with the fact that the hypothalamus is fertility’s “master of ceremonies,” a major nerve center in the brain that ALSO is the regulator and receptor of stress, emitting cortisol when needed to keep our bodies in balance. Let us repeat this extraordinary fact: a walnut-sized portion of our brain – the hypothalamus - handles BOTH stress and the functioning of our reproductive system, underscoring that every month there is a very delicate interplay of hormones leading to successful ovulation. Other studies and data points include the following: * Recent studies conducted at Harvard Medical School on 184 women going through relaxation training for infertility: 55% had a viable pregnancy within one year, compared to only 20% of the control group achieving a viable pregnancy; * In a study with women undergoing donor sperm insemination, those with higher levels of anxiety prior to undergoing inseminations took significantly longer to conceive (Demyttenaere, Nijs, Steeno and Koninckx, 1988); * Women who were not stressed and/or depressed before starting IVF treatment had a conception rate twice as high as women who were stressed and/or depressed before treatment (Thiering, Beaurepaire, Jones & Saunders, 1993); * Research has shown that women undergoing treatment for infertility have a similar, and often higher, level of stress as women dealing with life-threatening illnesses such as cancer and heart disease, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. In addition, they report that “infertile couples experience chronic stress each month, first hoping that they will conceive and then dealing with the disappointment if they do not. When diagnosed with infertility, many couples may no longer feel in control of their bodies or their life plan. Infertility can be a major crisis because of the important life goal of parenthood is threatened. hope these help you understand the medical justification for these statements... but it's normally true of most situations... take for example when you've lost/misplaced something... u could spend all day hassling about trying desperately to find it... and then one day when ur least expecting it and not stressing about it u end up finding the same thing! :) i know i'm not 6... but i'm still a little girl at heart and love to express my best wishes to a person in any form or way... since this is such an anonymous forum we really can't do anything much for a person other than provide them with some support, prayers and best wishes... and of course any sort of advice we can give... sorry if i have offended anyone... it wasn't the intention...

Thank you Pentel! I really wanted to add that too! The worst thing you can say to someone is to stop stressing and relax especially if you have fertility issues!!! along with the other BS "it'll happen when you go on holiday/stop trying" it's a cruel irony that for a lot of women we spend out 20's trying to [i'>not [/i'>get pregnant and then our 30's wondering when the **** it'll happen!! eta: and as for this baby dust nonsense.. what are we, 6?? <em>edited by pentel on 31/07/2011</em>

Stress is one of the main reason for not getting pregnant, so be happy, think positive, all the best. could you please link to the medical research for this?

One of my friend's wife didnt hv pcos but no positive signs of pregnancy for 3 years and followed clomid got pregnant in 2 months. Stress is one of the main reason for not getting pregnant, so be happy, think positive, all the best.

I'm a CLOMID success story :) I have one DD who's 4yrs old and we had been trying naturally to conceive for two years... nothing happened until I got preggers last year... but unfortunately went through a miscarriage in my third month... following that we tried again for 6 months with no luck... that's when i decided to go to a gynaec and she started checking my ovulation without clomid... we tried doing it on the most apt days but it always seemed like i ovulated too late... so then the doc decided to put me on clomid... the first month was 50mg... didn't work... so she upped the dose to 100mg and viola... got preggers... and am now in my 4th month... i don't have pcos... just unexplained delayed ovulation... but i know how u feel... i used to cry every month the day i get my periods so upset that all our attempts had failed again... don't give up hope... pray hard... and when the time is right u will be blessed :) all the best... lots of baby dust coming ur way :)
