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

[skarcm2010]

Hopeful: Yay for the + digi!!!

Lemonade: I feel for you, clomid is hard to deal with.

AFM: AF came this evening. On to the next cycle. I am not going to take any fertility meds this time. I think my poor body needs a break from all the stimulation (my PCOS is out of control, lol). I am just going to wing it this cycle and see what happens. Plus it will make the holidays less stressful.

Hi girls!
Sorry I had gone MIA last cycle. After not ovulating on my first round I was so down that I felt like I couldn't get out of bed, and I ended up taking a day off work. I was completely consumed by TTC and needed to step back from it all for a little while. But I am feeling more positive than ever, and if you'll have me I'm back and ready to jump back in to TTC.

I am so happy to read such good news on this thread!! Hopeful, congratulations on your BFP!! I am so thrilled for you. I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months!

Since I last posted I had some good news, some very hopeful days but then AF came after all. I finally ovulated with 100mg, and my progesterone on day 23 was 37.6. I was absolutely thrilled. As the progesterone was rather high I was hoping I was preggers, and when I was a day late I did have a squinter of a line on a FRER, only to start bleeding 2 days later. So I'm not sure if it was a chemical or a FRER evap, but I was at least happy to have ovulated. I am currently on my third 100mg clomid cycle on cd 19, and I haven't had quite the same ov pains as last cycle and my nipples aren't sore yet, so I'm a little nervous I haven't ovulated. Maybe being more relaxed about things last cycle was one of the reasons I did ovulate, so I'm trying to stay positive!!
How is everyone doing this cycle? Best of luck to all of you ladies, lots of

Hey Trina, nice to hear from you. That's good you ovulated last cycle, are you using opks or anything? On my first cycle when I ovulated I had a sore head was moody and loads of EWCM but this time I felt nothing so maybe it can vary. When do you go for your progesterone test?

I had a dream last night I got a BFP and was running to tell hubby, I woke up so sad when I realised it was just a dream. Oh we'll one week down one to go.

 

[Trina86]

Thanks Lovecakes! No I'm not temping or using opks, I am just having day 21 progesterone test. I was out of town day 21 so had it done day 23 last cycle, and had felt ov pains on day 16 so it was perfect it ended up being 1 week later. This cycle again I'm doing the blood draw on day 23, so on Tuesday. I see my FS on December 3rd so will find out next steps then I guess.
Ah yes the pregnancy dreams. I have had a few myself! I know what you mean that its so disappointing when you wake up. Maybe the dreams are a sign that there are wonderful things to come soon!

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Thanks ladies. We are now on day 3 since BFP, with my chemical I started bleeding on day 6 so I think I won't relax til I pass that point! With my chemical I also had fading lines on day 3-4 and a bfn day 4.... but right now I'm too scared to test again. I thought I might have this morning but couldn't bring myself to.

It's actually my first time in 2 years ttc I've had one. I'd love it if it was a good sign, my tmep went up another 0.2C today lol
I'll be thinking of you on Tuesday, make sure you come back and tell us the results.

Hey hopeful, there's no reason why this won't turn out as perfectly as your first LO. I know the heart is louder than the head when it comes to ttc but you have every reason to hope. Keep busy this weekend to help the time pass.

 

[hopefulfor1st]

I guess the biggest thing worrying me is I got my BFP 16 days after my + opk and at 17dpo a digi said 1-2 when it shouldve said 2-3. I know late implanters don't have as good a shot at successful implantation

 

[skarcm2010]

Lovecakes: woo hoo on the temp rise. Keep us posted. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Trina: welcome back! Great news that you did ovulate. Let us know how your next progesterone test goes.

Hopeful: Hang in there. This can still turn out to be a healthy pregnancy. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

 

[Trina86]

Thanks Scarcm
Ladies have you had different post ov symptoms from month to month? Lat cycle by this time my nipples were so sensitive, this month not really. Ill know on Tuesday or Wednesday for sure if I did ovulate, just feeling unsure about this cycle since my boobs aren't sore. I'm on cd 21.

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Everything is looking good so far

Ahh hopeful I havent been on in a while and to come back and see you got a bfp is the best news Ive heard in a while!! I am so happy for you!! I hope this pregnancy is very easy for you!

Here is a cute little story. I believe in a childs intuition, kids seem to see when somethings wrong with their parents or if your in pain. Little ones seem to sense things. My girlfriends five year old son told her the other day "mommy steph and pat are going to have babies soon". She asked how do you know that? He said "trust me mommy I just know". Now if thats not something to make you smile im not sure what will.

So my cycle this month is a bit different than usual, I ovulated two days later than usual but I think thats still ok. The best part is I ovulated on the right side, so my chances of getting pregnant are very high. Im really Excited! AF is due Dec so im currently on cycle day 20.

 

[LoveCakes]

How sweet would that be Steph! Fingers crossed for you!

Hopeful looking good Do you get an early scan?

9dpo today, I'm not sure when I'm going to test. Last time I had a 13day lp so would be due on Saturday.

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Yes I do I'm thinking ill get it 17th dec- ill be 7 weeks then so should see hb!

 

[LoveCakes]

What a fantastic early Chrisrmas present!!!

 

[steph_466]

Awe thats so exciting!!

 

[MummyDonz]

I'm 13 dpo but got bfn today. Still no sign of AF despite cramps a few days ago but now nothing. Had a 14 day LP last cycle. I've had to contact specialist as he said to let him know if I get to cd40 and no AF or pregnancy. Just waiting to hear back.

 

[LoveCakes]

So tonight I decided to test, I've been up early past few mornings and didn't wan't to rush. I haven't had any symptoms except sore nipples but thought what the hell.

I used a cheapy and wasn't sure if I could only see what I wanted to see so I looked out my (out of date :s ) digi and this is what I got!

It's still sinking it, I'm really nervous about Saturday when AF is due, especially considering all my lining issues but I'm happy just to see OHs face, it was amazing!

 

[Trina86]

Yey!!! Congratulations on the BFP Lovecakes!!!

 

[Trina86]

Sorry to be a downer but just heard back on my progesterone results, I did not ovulate on my third clomid round. :*(
I see my FS on Tuesday and hoping he will have some kind of plan for me. I jut don't understand why clomid would work one cycle but not the next. I'm feeling pretty low and work the evening shift today so I have to face clients all night without getting teary...

 

[LoveCakes]

Same thing happened to me Trina I ovulated on 50mg, not on cycle 2 on 50mg but then ovulated cd31 on 100mg. There is no sense to it! I hope clomid works for you next time or you ovulate just a bit later.
