3rd Times a Charm***Round 3 of Clomid (TTC#1)

The very light pink cm last night became spotting today which was red and enough to class as light flow...but then a few hours later it was watery brown...now just before I went to bed it's red again but not as much as earlier today.

Am only 10dpo if I go by my chart, ovulated on cd 19 but if I go by the fact I ovulated on cd14 for the past 2 rounds of Clomid I'm now cd28 which would mean I'm due af but my bbt is still high, no drop at all...I'm so confused!!!

My Ovulation Chart
 
Sasha I take my clomid days 3-7 although this last round I think I might have taken it days 4-8. I usually just start af with a heavy flow but this time I spotted heavy for a day and had full flow the following morning. So I counted the full flow as cd1. I am trying to stay positive but I can't help but feel like this time is going to be a bfn too. I was positive every single month and it got me nowhere....so I am slowly losing the light at the end of the tunnel. :/

Thanks Hope...yea it is hard to keep hope especially since I had such high hopes for the first round of clomid...GL Hope lots of baby dust and hugs
 
Hi ladies, AF showed again today. I knew I was out yesterday after my temp dropped, I had a good cry about it and and then decided that I just need a break. We're still going to ttc this cycle, but my doctor isn't going to monitor me since I responded really well to the 25mg of Clomid so he doesn't feel like I need to do scans this time around. I gave my thermometer, opks, and hpts to my best friend tonight and she's going to hide them from me this cycle. She also put a password that I don't know on my phone app so I can't track my cm or symptoms or anything. I think I'm also going to take a BnB break. We're still going to bd every other day once AF is gone, but I feel like ttc has completely taken over my life and I can't handle another disappointing day like yesterday. I need a month where everything doesn't revolve around ttc. So I wish all of you the best of luck, hopefully when I check back in I'll see a whole bunch of :bfp:, maybe even mine!
 
Aww stayhopeful, I know how you're feeling. I thought my trip last month would get my mind off ttc but I couldn't do it. It really does take over your life. I am coming up on one year since my mc and looking back, I don't even know where the year went. All I remember from it is constant testing, crying, more testing and more crying.

I really hope this month "off" will give you your bfp and when you do check back in, we can all share our bfps together! Best of luck to you and feel free to say hi to us if you give yourself a BnB "cheat" day :hugs:
 
Thanks, Hope! I'm really rooting for you, I feel like we've been in very similar situations since I joined BnB and I hope that you get your :bfp: this month! I'm sure I won't be able to stay away from here completely, so I'll check back in :winkwink: I just need to step back a bit this month so ttc doesn't take over my life again. GL and :dust:!
 
Grrrrrr.... I hate my dr.!!! I went in Monday to FINALLY do all my tests and when I get there he tells me that I'm still normal and everything comes on time so he doesnt see the point in checking me out or wasting my money on tests!! I mean come on! 6 years is a long time to try and ive always been on time but what aggravates me the most is that he goes by assumptions... like whats to say that there isnt some random easily fixed reason as to why its never happened. On the good side i did finally get him to get my husband tested!! It aggravates me that we are 5 mo in to all this and he is finally testing him. All this should have been done BEFORE i got on clomid!

On top of that things are changing lately... my husband is in the recruiting process of joining the Army and honestly I'm scared out of my wits! I wonder what life will be like and all but at the same time I'm excited because we will finally be able to go to a dr. and have ins and things will be sooooo much easier (well not at first) but im just excited and scared about starting a new chapter in our lives!
 
*hugs for everyone*

I had a little cry today cos I thought I was starting to bleed. I'm 11dpo and, same as yesterday, I had some spotting early in the day. Today at about 5:30pm it became more like the start of a period but 2 hours later it was watery brown and hardly anything again. Hoping my temps stay up and this is my month.
 
StayHopeful, I totally agree that this could be it for you, if you don't stress and chill out. It's far too easy to get dragged down into over analysing and worrying.
Have a glass of wine and take a deep breath :D
Good luck with relaxing, taking some time out and chilling! See you soon :)

ItsMyTyme, that sounds super stressful! You poor thing! You shoul try not to worry too much though. It's not good for you.

Will be thinking of you both :)
 
eebee Hope this is your month, don't stress you have plenty of support in all of us! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya!

Teasel Thanks! I'm not really stressed just annoyed with my Dr. It just seems that he isnt giving me his full attention when I am there. I am really happy about the army though i wont lie! It will be good to have some good benefits and not having to worry over how I'm going to pay for this doctor or get that test. I know things are still a long way off but i cant help but get excited lol
 
Very likely that I am onto round 4. Temps have dropped for a second day at 13dpo so just waiting on the bleeding to start properly. Think I am going to try days 3-7 instead of 2-6 this month.
 
Well, it's round 4 for me! Was a day late and it kind of gave me hope... but it was just a trick :(
 
I know I am joining this thread later then everyone else, but I am on CD6. We upped my clomid 50 mg this month to 150mg for 5 days. We go in for follicle mapping on Thursday then decide from there when to do the trigger shot.

If this third round doesn't work then we are taking a break from TTC for a few months. DH and I are both invovled heavily with high school marching band so I don't want to add the stress of IUI ontop of it. We'll still keep trying I guess, but not doing the IUI and all that. Hoping it won't be an issue though and we get our BFP this month!! Well I guess July.... lol
 
Welcome Rosiepooh...

I have to vent...I am just waiting around for O...we started bd last night however my hd gets a performance anxiety when he knows we are doing it because it is my fertile week, so needles to say he was not able to finish (I know TMI but I have to went) so I ended up crying but did not let him see me because that puts even more pressure...I hope this is not going to predict rest of this month...I hope he gets his act together because I am not sure how much I can take...:hissy:
 
Hi ladies, sorry I haven't been around much. I stalk here and there with my phone but its always such a pain to post with an iphone. Welcome to all the newcomers :) Nothing new to report with me. I got my pos opk on cd15 and we are still dtd like crazy lol. This month for some reason when we bd, it feels less stressful and more fun....i am trying the relaxed approach again this month and hopefully we will get our bfp.

I have noticed too that after we bd (sorry tmi), i don't have as much leakage as i did in previous months. i always stay laying down with my bum and legs elavated too. i wonder if that is why i never got my bfp...because i had a lot leak out? but really, doesn't it only take 1 swimmer? lol. ahhh too much to think about!
 
Hello ladies! I know it's been a while since I last checked in and seeing all these BFN's are making me a little discouraged :( But I thought I would give a little update on what has been going on with me and my journey!

We got the results to my hubby's SA Friday and he is a little low but still within normal range. The Dr. told me to keep trying and I had to ask him if there was anything else that could be done because trying isn't working. Not trying isnt working either and he asked how I knew. So again for the 4th time since I have started seeing him I told him that we had been together for 10 years and didn't start trying until we got married (6 yrs ago) and before that we weren't preventing or protecting. So he is FINALLY starting my tests and I go in July 6th for my 21 day prog. test. (YAY!!)

On top of that my hubby has gotten approved for the Army and goes Wed. for the ASVAB's (really excited that things are getting on the ball!!) So soon we will be able to go to a specialist and have everything sorted out!! Other than that I scared the recruiter...Hehe...Apparently they were "rushed" yesterday morning and read some information to my hubby wrong and he was so discouraged by what they said that I tried calling a different recruiter to see what the deal was (they told him he was suspended from the Army...how do you get suspended from something that you were never in??) Well inadvertently I called the next ranking officer (which happened to be the recruiters boss) and at the same time my brother was in the same recruiter's office and he overheard them talking about my husband and he told the recruiter I was mad (which i was just peeved about what was said) Anyway he didnt want to talk to me :( but things are back on the ball and I couldn't be happier.

I finish round 4 of clomid and now I'm just waiting to ovulate and hoping that this will be our month! There are WAY too many BFN's on this thread!! Baby dust to all and I'm keeping everyone in my prayers that we all get our BFP's ASAP!!!! Don't give up!!!
 
That's so great itsmytyme! July 6 will be here in no time! Is this then first time you are having day21 tests done while on clomid?

Afm, I am cd10 and have been af like cramps since yesterday. From o day up until about 2 days ago, I had sensitive nipps but those seem to have gone away. I have my docs appointment Thursday morning so I plan to test before going there. I really could have sworn we got it this time but now I'm just so down. I really think my issue is not being able to implant. I think my progesterone drops therefore can't maintain implantaton. I am going to talk with the doc about this Thursday and see if there are any tests I can take or if he can just put me on supplements. June marked my 1 year of when i got my first bfp....I never thought it would take this long to fall pregnant again. I am feeling so down :cry:
 
Oh I'm so sorry hope! Yea this is my first time getting it done. I almost had a hissy fit on the phone because he hasnt done anything and it seems like he doesnt listen... In 10 years no BFP and he still does no tests. makes me wonder what kind of dr. he is!
 
hi ladies, how is everyone doing? so i went to my doc today and the next step for me is an HSG which i am really nervous about. have any of you had it done and was it painful? DH is also going to get a SA but the doc highly doubts he has any issues since he was able to get me pregnant once before. I am praying by some miracle i am pregnant right now but i took a frer this morning and it was neg and af is due this weekend so i am pretty sure i am out.
 
Hope- I has an hsg. I was so nervous from reading all the posts online about how horrible it is, but for me it wasn't bad. Just some mild cramping - a minute or two of mild discomfort. It's really not that bad but I have heard it hurts when you have a blockage.
