Hi my name is Tisha my husband and I are both 22 We live in El Paso,Texas.We have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now. I have been told I have PCOS. I dont have a period so there for I dont ovulate. I started taking clomid (50mg) about a month ago and got a pos read on my ovulation test on the 9th of may I went to the dr on the 17th of may and took a preg test(NEG) but he said it may be to early to tell and told me to test again on the 24th and the 31st I tested again on the 24th (NEG) so now im waiting for the 31st. I heard of side effects but i felt fine until the day my ovulation test came back pos then I started to feel light headed and dizzy and the smell of some things started to make me sick and I almost threw up a few times. Been feeling sick ever since.Can I be preg or is it the effects of the meds??? This is my first cycle of clomid. I also had the HSG test done and it was ok so my tubes are open and my husband sperm count is good I just dont ovulate. Can any of you help me or have you tried anything else that has seemed to work?? At this point me and my husband are up to try ANYTHING for a baby. I've heard robitussin and some herbs also work what do you all think?? You can email me at nateandtisha@aol.com Thanks for your help.
DYING FOR A BABY!!!!!

Welcome Tisha!
I used clomid many years ago, but it didn't work for me. I was taking up to triple doses, along with pergonal. What finally worked for me was an herb called Dong Quai, as well as flax seed oil capsules. I never had regular periods, even on the srongest drugs, until I started the herbs. I was pregnant within 2 months.
I have a couple of friends who used clomid and it worked right away.
I think your first 2 tests were pretty early, since you hadn't missed a period yet. Hopefully the next test will be positive!!

Thanks Marcia I have Dong Quai here along with Vitex/Chaste Tree Berry and Red clover Blossoms,Licorice Root,Siberian Ginseng I got all these herbs because I seen a advertisment on the internet about a medicine called Ovulex that gurantees to get you pregnant and these were all the ingredients in it. They said 97% of the people who take Ovulex will get pregnant so I was willing to try anything. I took them for a few weeks until I went to the Dr and the Dr told me to quit taken them because you don't know what effects they could have on your baby if you do become pregnant. So scared of hurting my baby should I become pregnant I quit taken them. What does the flax seed oil do??????? Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I've honestly even tried standing on my head after sex I know it sounds silly but we are DESPERATE!!!!!

They are bumping your message up to the top, so that more people can see it.
Raspberry Leaf tea is also good for hormones. Not flavoured tea, but the real thing.
Flax seed oil seems to be good for everything, including hormonal stuff. We both took it.
When I took Donq Quai, hubby took L-Arginine. It's an amino acid. Something in the mix worked, because the stongest stuff did nothing for me.
I think that all of us who have been through this try everything we can. Even standing on our heads. LOL
Hang in there!!
