Buddies for first round of Clomid?

[jessthemess]

Cntwait2bamom- CONGRATS!!! Enjoy your honeymoon, and yes smuggle a little bean home, fingers crossed!!!

KyanneJackson- I'm not in the same boat but that sounds like a promising side effect!! Any positive opk yet?

Dantz- Early congrats to you! I remember how nuts the month before my wedding was, hopefully yours stays relaxed and stressfree! Boo on the headaches, I totally had those last week! Are you done with taking your clomid for this cycle now?

foxycleopatra- No, no symptoms and no ovulation but now I've been on Metformin three months and lost some weight so fingers crossed.

Did any of the ladies who finished the clomid before last week O?! Fingers crossed!

As for me, Vegas was great and crazy and there was drama but it was fun! I finished my last clomid pill Sunday. I was totally nauseous which my Dr. didn't warn me about but one of my best friends is a pharmacist and she said it's normal. I also got headaches boo BUT I think side effects are good and mean it might be working, fingers crosses. I just want this VERY much.


Hope everyone had a great weekend as well

 

[Dantz]

jessthemess- yep, I finished a couple of days ago. Still getting the headaches but not quite as bad. Are the symptoms supposed to last all month?

Glad you enjoyed Vegas! I've never been there, but I'm not a gambler and I don't stay up late so I probably wouldn't be much fun in Vegas haha

My OPK's are getting darker. If I ovulate it will probably be tomorrow. I ovulated some cycles before Clomid, but not all. My doctor called the pill "an energy drink for your ovaries" and now that's all I can think about lol

I've been getting hot flashes, too, for the last couple of days. It's weird, though, because they only last about a minute. I'm hoping I got lucky and these are my only side effects this month!

 

[Foxycleopatra]

I am fairly certain I o'd yesterday as I have had the best EWCM of my life! We will keep BD just to be safe but now it is all a waiting game.

When do you all plain to start testing?

 

[jessthemess]

Foxycleopatra- Do you do anything to increase your cm?

Negative OPK today! I think we will do SMEP and tonight will be our first on night.

 

[kiwilove]

CD 15 for me and still no ovulation, hope it's just around the corner. Last cycle on clomid I o'd cd 14. Took clomid cd 2-6 50mg same as last time. Getting nervous this isnt going to work this time

 

[jessthemess]

It will work Kiwi love! Fingers crossed for you! Maybe it's just a relaxed little egg taking its time

 

[jessthemess]

Just checking in on everyone! How are all you girls doing?

Today is CD12 for me and negative OPK last night! Just really want this to work for me!

 

[Foxycleopatra]

Foxycleopatra- Do you do anything to increase your cm?

Negative OPK today! I think we will do SMEP and tonight will be our first on night.

Jess I don't do anything out of the ordinary in regards to CM. My daily routine in 2x 250mg B12 tablets and my prenatals. I am hopeless with taking pills so I had to set an alarm to go off on my phone everyday

I hope Ovulation is immanent for those of you still waiting. I can't say for sure if I have indeed ovulated as I am unmonitored and I don't use OPKs.

I am on CD17 or I think 3dpo. Since yesterday i have had this intense "pressure" in my lower abdomen. It's strange it's not painful per-say but just really uncomfortable. I went searching on google (as you do) and found a heap of positive stories resulting in BFP but I don't want to get my hopes up yet. Not to hold of POAS for at least another week!!

 

[kiwilove]

Good luck foxy!!!!
I had a positive opk yesterday am and pm! Finally! I think Ovulated today, cd 17...a little later then last cycle on clomid but I cant complain. Hubby was sick for the last two days so we were only able to BD 4 days ago and yesterday, and will again today...hoping I didnt miss my chance
Good luck everyone, and keep updates!

I started my first round on the 6th (day 3) I was very excited because my husband and I have been trying for well over a year with MC and a chemical pregnancy last month. I have been tracking with OPKs and have received some dark lines but nothing positive. I am getting very discouraged, and thinking if taking the clomid has messed with me and tat I could have done it naturally. I am so confused and going crazy!

 

[jessthemess]

How is it going Foxy and Kiwilove?!

Still no ovulation here, CD16, so keeping my fingers crossed! But I'm feeling something happening down there I think!

Welcome to the group bridgmela! Were you ovulating before taking the Clomid?

 

[Foxycleopatra]

Hey Jess, I am doing ok. Now its all a waiting game. I decided to torture myself and start testing at 6dpo, I am today 8dpo (i think). here is my testing thread if you want to look.

I do hope you O soon my sweet.

 

[kiwilove]

5 dpo here!! symptoms are tender breasts and nipples, increase appetite, slight dizziness yesterday and today...breast tenderness is normal though...increase of appetite doesnt usually start until a day before or of AF...hoping thats a good sign.

I hope you ovulate soon!!!!

 

[jessthemess]

Yay for both of you!!

Still no O here but I am hopeful! I feel like I might be close but the OPKs say no.

 

[Foxycleopatra]

Jess due to my pcos I never had any luck with opk so I don't use them. Can you ask your doctor for an ultrasound to check for maturing follicles or a cd21 blood test to check your progesterone levels to check for ovulation?

 

[jessthemess]

Well in her words, the clomid probably won't work the first two cycles, so I won't be monitored till the third. But OPK's have worked for me in the past, so I don't know?

Without the clomid, my metformin only cycles have been about 60-70 days long. Before when I used to have normal cycles they would be 35 days long. So I suppose I may not ovulate till CD21 anyway? Or later because I heard late ovulation on Clomid is normal. I just also heard that if you don't ovulate by CD21 on Clomid you probably don't have viable eggs.

I've been looking at charts on fertility friend and there have been girls who O'ed later than CD21 and got pregnant but not very many

This morning was the top test, CD19 am

 

[kiwilove]

Hey Jess, what time do you usually take your opks.
I took mine mid day and then in the evening, I always did two a day. My opks dont usually get gradually darker.

 

[jessthemess]

I remember reading that they don't get gradually darker because LH spikes instead of rises. But then there was a thread on the OPK chart page that showed a gradual darkening, I'll link to it.

Here is my newest one and I think last night's is darker a little..or basically I'm driving myself crazy lol

I usually test in the evening and then when I get closer I used second morning bathroom break and evening to make sure to catch it. Plus I temp.
