I'm on a short vacation in Maine right now. It's really good because it distracts me from all the obsessive and depressive thoughts about being old and childless.... At the same time, my ovaries don't let me forget for too long - it's cd14 for me, and i've had ovulation pains for three days already, but negative opks, and also after awesome EWCM on cd9 and cd10, zero CM on cd11-13... so it's all weird... i am also thinking about giving up tamoxifen for a few cycles...

Did anyone OV early on this stuff?

Can I ask a question? Does this help with CM or dry it out like Clomid? I've been reading on it the last few days and get mixed answers. I tried Clomid in the past and it dried me something terrible. I am going to see FS tomorrow and was considering asking about this. Thanks.

Tamoxifen does not have a negative effect on the CM and uterine lining like clomid does. instead it was found to increase it.

I ovulated 7 days after my last pill. typical time is 5-8 days past the last dose.

Thank you and that is what I thought; similar to when I was on Clomid. However, my OPK is pretty close and the EWCM has finally showed up, which I have never seen before. I just don't know what to make of it.

I still have one more day of meds left. I am trying to find info as to whether or not TMX is like Clomid in that it can affect an OPK if it is taken to close to the meds.

I apologize for going on about myself, how are you doing?

Yes it raises LH and FSH like clomid so if you take a OPK within the time of taking tamoxifen or in the first 2 days after you can get a false + opk.

I am doing good we decided to give the tamoxifen another go , but this time taking it cd 5-9 in hopes for one healthy egg. also taking royal jelly and one cup of peppermint tea before bed to help keep testosterone levels down, also lowering my sugar intake and eating more protein so hopefully this works!.

I had my cycle day 12 tracking scan yesterday and no follicles.Not even close ( Have to go back on Monday for another scan. Whats the highest dose I can take? I fell like chucking the towel in now-thats restance to clomid and 40mg tamoxifen. My hosp don't do injectables as I have asked. They will only offer IVF at a huge price.

My doctor said 80mg is the highest he would prescribe; he started me at 40mg. Will you doctor not do injectibles at all?

Hmm just seen my ticker. Maybe I'll ov at a later time

 

[dachsundmom]

If your ticker is correct, then you are by now means out!

 

[maliah09]

No They don't really offer much else. I'm prob one of the only ones on Tamoxifen-my nurse is asking me questions when really it should be me asking her. I'm hoping to see the specialist next week or the snr nurse at least.

 

[maliah09]

Well on a natural cycle (by natural I mean taking metformin by itself) I had a 32 day cycle so I'm going by that. I had a natrual cycle after a lap and dye as well but it was 6 weeks.
Thank you for answering. Its so hard when no one in real life knows any of this and my husband don't understand the whole tablet thing.

Maliah- are you in the UK?

 

[maliah09]

Yes I'm in Plymouth

I was just wondering why you were dealing with a nurse and not directly with a specialist. Do you have a chart attached to your ticker? I didn't check yet.

 

[maliah09]

I keep a chart on an iPod app.
