Anyone on Clomid?

[Feisty Fidget]

It was about an hour after I usually take my temperature.

I got an almost positive OPK again today so I am not too sure what is going on

@ ellie.if you r acuratly sure u r not pregnant,u can use some natural ways of inducing yur AF,in my country,der r sum herbs we use that r very strong and usually induce some sort of contractions,n bring about AF,u need to b sure u r not pregnant tho or it will coz MC,but since most of u live in the US,then u wont get thoz herbs,all i kno is that strong tea,3 teabags,dark no sugar or milk could bring about AF,or boiled crush ginger.last tym,b4 i sarted clomid i was waitin for AF to show,i had all the cramps n stuff,took a PT and it was BFN.i kno i usually hav late AFdue to my PCOS if i dont bleed i wont get the pills,so i had to take ssome herbs to give it a kick.

today im on CD 9,im tinking of starting to BD startin today,i will hav to skip friday coz i will b workin nyt shift,then during the weekend for sure,i surely dont want to miss that egg if it shows,im not having the pains yet,even tho they are excruciating they r a sign of OV.so im saying bring on the pain

Feisty, I've actually experimented with taking my temp at my usual time and different times and the up to 0.2 degree difference per hour is pretty accurate. If you actually have a difference of 0.2 (mine happen to have been .15) that puts CD16 at 36.2 which therefore was not your spike. Still go for it since you got that second surge!!!! But I have to lean towards the first OPK being the real deal. Good luck!

Good luck to you too TTC86!!!!

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Well I took my temp at the normal time this morning Tiger and it has crept up a little but not enough for me to think anything happened

Will do another OPK this evening but I have this awful feeling we may not ovulate this cycle. What a waste of a clomid round

 

[quinny23]

I am so sorry feisty! I don't chart so I have no words of advice but I do know that your temp can fluctuate for the tineest thing so hang in there..

I am 4dpo today and haven't had caffeine since last Saturday.. I have never gone cold turkey while ttc (I have 2 small cups in the morning normally - I don't drink soda) but this time I decided to swear off those 2 cups and see what happens.

Oh my, can I tell you how much I miss coffee in the morning?! I had no idea! I stopped for a cup of decaf this morning and although not the same, it was heavenly. 10 days to go...

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Thanks Quinny. We made the switch to decaf tea when we first started ttc almost a year ago. I don't abstain from caffeine completely any-more but I do just have it as a treat.

 

[Tigerlilies]

I hope that's not the case Feisty! Still keeping positive thoughts for and that egg!

Quinny, you could do a cup of decaf a day, that way less caffeine then the recommended dose for PG women unless you're saving all those milligrams for chocolate!

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Tiger you were right!

Fertility Friend has put me at 3DPO today and it's a solid line not dashed, our intercourse chances are also high too

The wait begins

 

[Ellie Mary]

Hey, I cut down my tea intake, too. I'm down to one cup a day, unless it's during AF, in which case I'm back to normal levels. Still waiting for AF to show up. Don't know what's going on. Another BFN yesterday on a HPT so I know I'm not pregnant.
I've never done temperature charting so am afraid I can't offer any advice.
Nearly the weekend!

 

[Tigerlilies]

FX'd for you Feisty!!!!

Ellie, I do the same except with coffee.

My Pilates teacher told us all that it is good to drink hot water with juice of half a lemon and a teaspoon or two of honey. I've had about three of those today and they are really great. They taste yummy, are healthy, good for the immune system and give me a real energy boost that caffeine does. Worth a try, girls!

Still no AF for me. This is my longest cycle for 18 months and it's driving me mad. I just want it to hurry up and arrive so that I can start the Clomid again. I just feel the chances of having a 2011 baby slipping away. Grrrrrrr.

Still, the weekend's here! Yipppeeee!

Hi all - I have a question that I just cannot find an answer to, I am hoping someone here will know.

This month was round 3 of clomid for me but the first month to not have fertile cervical mucus. If I did it was undetectable. If I use preseed for the sperm to get through my cervix what happens from there? I mean if there is no fertile cervical mucus does that mean my uterus will also be a hostile environment?

 

[Tina Bee]

Is anyone else out there waiting for their period to start after taking provera? I hate this wait. I just want to start my second round of clomid now and get it out the way.

 

[miel]

i got my BFP girls this morning

 

[wanting2010]

Tina Bee- that's the boat I'm in right now. It's been 3 days since my last Provera pill and every other time I have taken it I have started by now. Grrr. I am spotting a bit and cramping so I hope AF will show her face tomorrow. I'm ready to get this show on the road, haha.

Hello everyone! I have read this thread alllllll the way back to day 1. I feel like I know you all

I am about to start Clomid, cycle 1, 50 mg as soon as my AF arrives. I didnt even try to concieve this month, as I have been TTC for a year and couldnt STAND the thought of seeing another BFN. So I decided to take the month off and finally go see a specialist.

I had a miscarriage last January, and my cycles never were right after. My cycle is 28 days, but I dont ovulate until CD 19-21. This leaves my luteal phase very short. My OBGYN, not knowing any better, put me on progesterone alone to fix it, but now I know from the specialist that usually a short Luteal phase means the eggs are not strong enough to produce the progesterone in the luteal phase. Taking progesterone is like putting a band aide on a huge gaping wound that needs stitches...not helpful. Taking clomid strenthens the eggs (though I already ovulate) and therefore, they produce enough hormones throughout the cycle.

Anyways, I am blessed with a PERFECT son, 4 years old, and know that God has a plan for me and my husband, but WHOA has this past year been a roller coaster.

Cant wait to see all of our BFP's this month!!!!!

 

[Hopewho]

i got my BFP girls this morning

CONGRATULATIONS miel!!!!

 

[Tigerlilies]

Ellie, Tina, and Wanting, I'm sorry your bodies are cooperating. I really hope AF arrives soon so you ladies can continue forward.

Amber, I'm sorry for your loss but you are very welcomed to our thread! I had messed up cycles too after my loss and was having a shorter luteal phase as well. Clomid really did help with that.

Hope, I used Conceive Plus and Robitussin b.c I don't feel I make enough CM either. If there isn't enough CM the uterus would be a hostile environment for the sperm b.c the uterus is slightly acidic and the sperm need a slightly basic pH to survive but the conception lube will help the sperm survive as well as their mobility.

Miel!!!! Congratulations!!!!!! We're bump buddies!

I wanted to make sure my hcg levels were increasing before I announced anything. My levels looks great and I'm really excited! I pray there will be more announcements soon!
