anyone else starting clomid next month, or can share their clomid experiences?

[Lemonade]

On my clomid round I had what i later realised was ov pain on the Sunday (cd21) and my blood test was 8am Monday (cd22), my progesterone came in at 7.1 and my fs said either weak ov (non viable for pregnancy) or late ov so did another blood cd29 and it was 36. Then I realized the pain from the Sunday was ov and I'd oved cd21, cd31 I got a positive hpt (10dpo) so my point is that even the day after ov they were able to confirm I'd oved they just did it again a week later to be sure and by then it was much higher, so I think at 4/5 dpo would be fine! Oh and that ov date was confirmed with my dating scan.
I had a blood test Wednesday just gone too and my progesterone was 6.1 so I'm thinking I'm about 6dpo if we assume my numbers are about the same but I guess we'll see within 8 days!

That's really good to hear too, thanks Hopeful! Good to hear that you got a BFP that cycle too.

Good luck for Thursday, Starbunny! I'm not sure how long it takes to get the results back, but my nurse said not to call until after the weekend if I went in on Thursday. I think it takes different amounts of time in different places though.

Thanks, Lemonade!

So, I did another OPK today (even though I swore I wouldn't do another) and it was negative!! There was a faint, SUPER faint test line (could barely see it unless you looked way close). That is great news, to me. It gives me a lot of hope that my previous 2 positive OPKs from a few days ago were really positive and that I have in fact ovulated. Oooooo I hope I get good news about that progesterone draw!

to everyone!!!

Starbunny - that sounds promising! Let us know how the progesterone test goes. I'm going for mine next Monday.

I havent been on in almost a week now. I really dont have any news. I thought I was going to ovulate this month, had the pains then I realized the pains were on my left side. ( I dont have a tube on my left) So I really dont know what that means! But probably safe to say I didnt ovulate. OBgyn appt Friday though

 

[MummyDonz]

I too haven't been on here for a while. Cd19 and no ovulation yet still! Specialist said to stop worrying and there's no reson why it won't work as first month was fine.

 

[MummyDonz]

Just had a lot of ewcm but negative opk. I've had watery cm for 2 days. Maybe I'm gearing up for it! Partner is away until Friday so I'll probably miss it this month..typical!

 

[Starbunny711]

So...curiosity is KILLING me. I cannot WAIT to take an HPT. Wowmygosh. How do you ladies do it!? How do you keep yourselves occupied during the TWW? I'm "possibly" on 5DOP (if I actually ovulated) and my fingers are itching to pull out an ERHPT. I know it would be WAY too early and I'm not letting myself touch it, since I think it would be acutely unwise. *Sigh*. What are you ladies doing to keep yourselves away from the bathroom cupboards and grocery store family planning aisles?

 

[Lemonade]

I'm terrible when in comes it comes to POAS too! I can't.stop.thinking.about.it. The TWW went by sooo slowly last cycle and then it was so disappointing to get a BFN/AF. This time I'm going to try to put any thoughts of pregnancy out of my mind until I get my blood results, because I may not have ovulated anyway. And then I'm going to try and keep myself busy (Maybe organising projects around the house? And work of course) until AF or test on Sunday 13th, which ever comes first. I'm the worst when I am sitting with my iPad googling all kinds of TWW symptoms, so I need to keep myself busy. I'm going away for work on the 13th and will need to test then because I want DH to be there. I'm interested to hear what other people do!

Good luck at your appointment on Friday, Steph.

I hope ovulation is close, MummyDonz!

Hi Lemonade - I'm a symptom googler too! I should probably wait to test until the 13 or 14 but know I won't hold out that long. Of course if my progesterone test comes back low on Monday then I obviously wouldn't test at all.

 

[steph_466]

I really cant say I do much of anything to keep my mind off it. Some months are just simply harder than the others I guess. I think im going to test tomorrow or the next day just to make sure before I go to the obgyn Friday. Hows everyone else?

 

[hopefulfor1st]

I'm 7-8(?) dpo and been poas for days, lol

 

[Starbunny711]

Oh my goodness! LOL. FX that you'll get a positive SUPER soon!!!

I was able to restrain myself yesterday from poas, but I'm really hoping I'll be able to keep up my restraint and not test until next week. I'll try my best.

 

[MummyDonz]

Christ...positive opk today cd20 and partner is away till Friday and only bd Sunday. What are my chances?

Perhaps keep using the OPKs over the next couple days to see if your surge stays high? I know some ladies have several days of positives before they actually ovulate (or at least the ones I've seen in chart galleries have). Good luck to you!!!

Well, I finally broke down and took an I-know-this-is-silly-and-way-too-early-but-I've-just-got-to-get-it-out-of-my-system test. Of course it was negative, but I'm only like (maybe) 6 DPO, if I've ovulated. I was just DYING to and I told myself that if I took one today for fun, then I had to really wait until next week to take another one. HAVE to. We'll see, LOL. I feel your TWW pain, ladies. It can be SO tough, this waiting...*grumble grumble*

 

[MummyDonz]

I only have 1 left so I'm going to temp now so will see that way. This is the only time that I've hopes ovulation will hold off a few days!

 

[skarcm2010]

Starbunny - I know how you feel. I always buy more than one test because I know that I can't hold back until I'm supposed to. Good luck on waiting until next week.

MummyDonz - let's hope O is cooperative this cycle and stays away for a couple more days.

 

[steph_466]

I did my test today, as I figured bfn. No surprise! Wish me luck at the obgyn friday!

Lol, once ive tested I'm like "well I've broken the seal now I may as well keep going now!"

Good luck Steph!

AFM, girls I am sorry but I have a TMI question. So, yesterday was CD 34 on my first clomid cycle (no o was determined at 21 day progesterone test). So CD 34 I had a small amount of brown spotting. Today also small amount of brown spotting-no need for anything but a panty liner. So usually I have some spotting before AF, but there doesn't seem to be any increase in the light brown spotting...my question is should I wait for red flow to count day 1? I'm worried that this brown discharge is actually AF on clomid as maybe my lining is really thin? Any thoughts?

Thanks so much!

 

[MummyDonz]

I had another positive clear blue opk today and temp is the same. Still having mild ovary pain. Do you think I'm still in with a chance if we bd tomo evening when partner gets home?
