Anyone else counting down to April 1st?

[Mom2sam]

That's same as mine then last month 13 days this last cycle 12. I think were still ok as if it's shorter than 10 days considered too short. Need to order more opks tommorow i'm out of them. Alot more crampy this time with af cant wait for it to be over & start trying again x

Kell FX'd for you


I'm not trying anything different really either. I tried the every other day and that didn't work. So I'm going to try the once every day. I need to buy some good IC but idk which ones to get. Any suggestions

Can April 5th just get here all ready! I am so ready to test. Stomach ache all day and I am smelling things and do not like the smell, which makes it worse. Still having trouble with using the restroom as well. Even though I feel bad I would be okay with it if I knew it meant I could get a + test. No spotting yet, still a little discharge but not as much as it has been, hopefully a good sign. Good luck ladies on the next cycle, I am rooting for all of you!

Not long now til u test Jenny fx crossed for you x

I might do the every day next cycle if smep doesn't wrk this time but says most will conceive in first 3 months of trying it so i'm thinkng gv it one more shot as has wrked in past if not then on to everyday x

 

[Diddy2013]

Went to my doctor today. She agreed to let me do clomid 100mg again for the next two cycles, after that she said she would try two cycles on 150mg. If we aren't successful then we move on to a fertility specialist.

Talked about my luteal phase only being 12 days, she said that it was short and I have to have progesterone tested cd 25. She is allowing me to take the clomid cd3-7 because she had me do 5-9 and I ovulated way late.

Is there anything I can do about my luteal phase?!?

 

[MellyH]

I think that's what people take Vitex for, Diddy.

 

[Mom2sam]

Diddy i cant understand why she would say that cycles before i got pregnant i always had a Lp ranging from 12-14 days. I dunno mine was 12 this cycle too. I'v read anything below 10 days is too short. Anyway just wanted to say wishing u all the best with the clomid i conceived my first with it but only on the cycle i used preseed too clomid really dries ur cm up so try using conceive plus or preseed too everytime u bd got my fx crossed for u x

Hope I can join in here!
AF was due on 31st march and still not made an appearance yet. I tested BFN on Tuesday and Thursday so no idea what's going on. Only symptoms I've had is being a bit gassy, bloated and being quite hot. Had cramps/twinges on and off for about a week and (tmi) quite wet down there. My cycles are always 30 days since coming off the pill a year ago and this one is 36 and counting. 2 week wait becoming 3 weeks - frustrating!

I will join that queue iv got tests playin mind games with me now that's frustrating.I'm 3-4days late now, iv read many stories of ppl not getting bfp til a week late.I also keep getting wet down there sometimes it's clear and other times it's what I'd call green lol. I'm on CD 35 at the moment.

Have u been charting?

Hey girls!

Kelly and Mummy_smurf2b- FX for that BFP!
Also, congrats all the ladies with their BFPS!!

Mom2sam - we are nearly together this cycle, right? yay!

I have been away a while and now I am back. AF went away yesterday and I was really geared up to try SMEP but husband has to be away during my O days which are 17Apr - 21Apr!!! I have heard sperm stays for 3-7 days, but considering that we has awesome timing ( BD on O-2 and O) last cycle but no BFP - I am already counting myself out. My second anniversary also fall when he will be away I am considering taking off work to join him just to get BDing in

 

[BumbleBee10]

No I don't chart atm, my OH wants to keep things fairly relaxed and tbh I'm not sure how the charts work!

Sperm can live inside u for few days but i think its if its meant to happen will happen with just one bd if not we can try all we like like last month we followed smep & managed to follow it to the dot but nothing. Good luck tho watever u decide x

 

[mzhwd]

Jenny tomorrow's your test day FX'd for you.


Ladies what is smep?????? Maybe I should try it. And if you guys don't mind me asking how did you guys come to start taking Clomid. DH and I have really just started TTC for like the last 3 months so my doctor hasn't really did alot of test. She started w/ telling me to chart and OPK's which i did and my last appointment she actually said that i don't have to chart anymore if i didn't want to cause she had enough data and handed me a chart that looked almost identical to my FF chart and said that was the chart that they once used before FF and that I ovulate the day after FF says so every time just like her chart shows which would coincide with my temps.

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Smep = sperm meets egg plan. That is just basically bd every other day.

 

[Mom2sam]

Smep is sperm meets egg plan where u bd every other day starting day aftr af & then wen u get a positive opk bd 3 days in a row miss a day & once more (just incase u ovulate later than u thought).
Also regarding clomid we'd been trying for 2 years with no result but i'd like to add hadn't used opks or anything & were just bd wen we felt like it. So aftr 2 years me & Dh had all tests & came bk fine so thy put me on clomid took it for 11 months & nothing so decided to use opks, follow smep & used preseed & voila gt pregnant! So first cycle just trying properly. Aftr that 6 yrs later decided to start ttc again so went off bc pill had 1 bleed used opk, preseed & smep again & conceivd again but no hb at 8 wks so here i am again moving onto third cycle nw.

I thnk thy like u to be trying actively for 12 months here in uk before thy wil do tests etc & i thnk 6 months if ur over 35. On average they say evn if u are doing everything right there's still only 20% chance for a healthy fertile couple every cycle & goes up with every cycle & 90% will conceive within a year. So just hang in thr & i think use opks, chart, temp & bd frequently & hopefully u get ur bfp soon x

 

[Mom2sam]

Cd2 today & periods heavy ths time normally just heavy first day but heavy 2 days nw & hv had the worst headache since yesterday. Anyway ordered my opks & just cant wait t get going after af leaves the building! Hw is everyone else doing? X

 

[mzhwd]

Oh ok thanks for the info.

I'm glad AF is nearly over tomorrow should be my last day and then I'm on to BD'ing. I'm honestly glad that time is here.

 

[MellyH]

Sorry about the headache Mom2sam. Mine was heavy too! Still getting used to the no-birth-control periods.
