1st cycle with clomid

[MegNE922]

I would keep testing love just in case. I had once cycle I thought only was 12 hours but I think that just means the egg only takes 12 hrs to
Descend and go. I say BD away!!

Spjd, they say to BD every other day before ovulation and then once ovulation is detected via opk, BD on that day and the day after that. But it is also not advisable to BD everyday if semen count is low.

On the other note, did you guys do CD 21 progesterone even though you ovulated late? I did opk today and it was positive. I called the dr's office today to advise them that I just ovulated at CD19 and asked if I should move the blood work 7 days post ovulation. The nurse that I spoke with said that CD21 is CD21, regardless of ovulation. I'm actually thinking of canceling the blood work this Wednesday because I just think it's useless and wouldn't show rise of progesterone since it's just 2DPO.

Did you guys ovulate late and did the doctor move CD21 to correspond to 7DPO?

When I thought I had ovulated late (cd18) i still went in for cd21 but they had be rest on cd26 to double check my levels.

Going in for my cd21 of round two of clomid. They doubled my dose this cycle to 100mg and i started on day 3-7. I got a positive opk on day 16 this cycle so hopfully this round works. trying not to get discouraged but i am already experencing breast tenderness and its only 7dpo makes me think af is on her way.

 

[MegNE922]

Plsbpositve.
So when I went for CD21 testing I got low levels and my OB thought I O'd late an had me retest and they still came back about the same.
I usually O cd14 or so. So I didn't think it could be correct.

I wasn't told any other directions other than go in CD3-9-21 then redo cd21. But the last cd21 my AF came really late. Like 6 days so idk if that effects it?

 

[MegNE922]

Hey all I was wondering. With different cycles of Clomid did anyone find that they didn't O their regular/same day?

 

[plsBpositive]

I cancelled my CD21 BW for this cycle. But I'm pretty much sure that I ovulated. If I'm going to do CD21, they will for sure will do a repeat BW a few days after. I'm concern about the repeat BW, cause it's not fully covered by my insurance. And I don't want my clomid dose to be increased since low dosage worked for me. Also, I'll be changing my dr. I just feel like I didn't get enough attention . I also spoken with the dr during the initial visit and that's it. After that, I just talk to the nurse and sonographer. I usually ring the nurses early on the morning and they always return my call before their office closes, so I basically wait for 8 hrs just to get feedback from them. Sorry for whining lol

MegNE922
First round of 25mg clomid CD5-9, I got false positive on CD12 (testing too early) then another +opk on CD16-17.

Second round 25mg clomid CD5-9, started testing twice a day since CD11 and got +opk on CD19-CD20. I actually thought this round didn't work since I didn't have any side effects as opposed to the first one. Also, I've been running 4-5 times a week and had to cut down exercise last week. Most women say that clomid can cause delayed ovulation. That seems true for me!

Now I'm on the dreaded 2ww! Who's with me on this?

 

[MegNE922]

Plsbpositive so do you recommend testing OPK instead of just going with the flow? My md asked me to come in an make an apt once I finished my pill but idk why? When I asked the receptionist she said it was "to go over our options." Umm am I nuts or isn't Clomid the option we chose.

 

[plsBpositive]

MegNE922,
Better if you check with your dr, maybe there are other options that she hasn't discussed with you. If I had a better doctor, I would have followed his orders but unfortunately not the case for me.

OPK helps in determining ovulation. And I always find relief when I see that I ovulate during a cycle lol

hi y'all! how's everyone doin?

I just got my bfp today! I tested positive with clear blue digital and had to confirm it with first response. both test were bfp! I just can't believe it. I'd like to share with you guys what I did differently this time.
-eat healthy foods, avoided fast food (only had once a week)
-run 6 miles in a week
-used menstrual cups after BD (I think this one had a great impact)
-used preseed. placed preseed on menstrual cups
-drank robitussin day after stopping clomid and continued drinking it 2 days before ovulation
-avoided peas on diet
-pray, pray, pray! I included u guys on my prayer, bfp should be on your way. hang on there, have faith. it will come!

 

[MegNE922]

Congrats! That's so exciting!!! Xoxox H&H9 to you love!!

I'm currently 2-3dpo. Not testing until I'm late an on vacation relaxing not stressing.

 

[tryn2Bamommy]

Congrats omg im so happy for you on your bfp!!! Someone on this feed getting a bfp gives me hope. Im on my third round of clomid ay 150mg now. Starting my first pill today. How may cycles did it take to get your bfp? What mg where you on?

When did you test? I'm a day late and it was negative. I'm always 28 days but heard clomid can make you late>

 

[plsBpositive]

Thank you guys. I'm praying that you guys will soon have your bfp.

Megne922, that's good Hun..try not to think about ttc, it can be stressful and could affect fertility.

Tryn2bamommy, It was my second round on 25mg clomid. Any updates on your 2ww?

Babysomeday, I tested 10dpo at lunch.holding my pee for a few hrs, and retested in the afternoon to confirm lunch time BFP. I was in shock that it was positive knowing that it wasn't FMU.

Baby dust to you all guys! God bless on ttc

So glad I found this thread!!! It is so encouraging to know there are others going through the same thing! I've been TTC for 8 months, PCOS and getting ready to start my first clomid cycle. I saw a lot of you saying you're taking clomid on CD 5-9, my doc told me to take starting on day 3. I'm currently on CD 65... And not sure when AF might show up. Has anyone started a clomid cycle without AF?? I don't know if it's worth waiting around for it at this point! Any advice is welcome.

Praying for all of you out there TTC ��

 

[MegNE922]

Welcome Segs! Cd65!! Holy cow! I would contact your md to see what they think. Usually starting in CD3 means you don't O. & CD5 means you O but maybe need a boost it helps from a stronger egg.
Stay with us an keep is informed! good luck!

I feel like we are in the same boat! We should be buddies.

I am starting Provera to induce my period today, followed by 50mg Clomid on days 5-9. It's my first time taking both of these.

My DH and I have been TTC for a year, in which I only ovulated twice. My cycles range from 20-67 days, but all of my hormone levels, glucose, etc. are completely normal. My doctor thinks that once my ovulation is regulated, we should have success and that because my levels are good, I shouldn't have to worry. But I am full of doubt.

So, here's hoping this works for all of us!

 

[MegNE922]

This was my first cycle with Clomid 50mg also. I did days 5-9 & never felt any different. People say they have crazy symptoms but i had nothing. Good luck to you girls. I thinnk it was on this forum someone got their BFP their first cycle! So it can happen

Let's be buddies! Best of luck with Provera today! My LH and FSH are off which makes sense, (pcos) but other than that all my labs are normal, my A1C is normal too.

I'm going to call my doc tomorrow and see if she wants me to wait for AF or just go ahead and start clomid anyway... Or possibly try Provera. My cycles have progressively gotten longer, so far I'm on CD 67 with no end in site.

Don't get discouraged... I know that's easier said than done. My DH always tells me, "Positive thinking yields positive results." Hope your first cycle of clomid give you a BFP, keep us posted!

Thank you so much, and best of luck to you, too! Where are you in your cycle now? Did the 50mg yield ovulation for you?

Sending you all the BD in the world!
