CD 5, 1st round clomid on days 3-7

Do you know how mad at myself ill be if I've always ovulated later than I thought?! That would make this last year a complete waste of time! I wonder if the pain I feel in my ovary is the gearing up for ovulating.... and this whole time I've thought the pain meant 'I'm ovulating right now'
 
Ugh Greenie and Lolo!! We are all having bad months it seems! I'll tell you what I just did and then I'll comment on ya'lls posts.

So I was going to start checking my fertility monitor today to see what it was reading. I turn it on when I get to work tonight to check and :dohh: I forgot to reset it when I started my period!!!! So I am now 6 days behind and it won't let you go past day 5 when you reset it!! It also won't prompt me to test until CD 9, which is 4 days from now - which means that by the time it lets me test, I may have already O'd!!!!:dohh::dohh::dohh: I am SO frustrated right now.

Greenie, although I think it is possible that it may not work every month, I would say don't count yourself out yet! I had a - OPK this evening and I have NO signs of impending O. I have had none of the cramps that I had last cycle. And I don't think everybody has O pains every month, so you may just not have the pains this month. I am thinking I am probably going to O late as well because of my lack of symptoms. :shrug: I just don't know!! Argh. I hope we still will get those + OPKs within the next few days! As far as progesterone testing, I would call your doctor because mine only tested once. Yours may not want to test every month, I don't know.

Lolo, I looked at your OPK and it DOES look darker than yesterday, but still not as dark as it did on CD 13. I'll be interested to see what it looks like tomorrow? I also don't do BBT because of my crazy sleep schedule, so I heavily rely on my CBEFM and the OPKs.

I called my doctor again today. I asked about the cervical fluid and I hope I get to talk to the nurse tomorrow. I almost am hoping she lets me just go ahead and come in for an IUI. It probably sounds crazy and I hate to jump the gun. but I am just not getting good vibes on the cenception front for us this month.
 
I've decided we're gonna bd everyday til these opks are completely negative. I refuse to miss that egg. I wonder if anyone who temps can tell me if they feel ov pain before ovulating. I've tried checking my cervix but I haven't noticed any change all week. I'm not sure how drastic the changes are though.

Sorry about the cbfm mishap... how frustrating! How much does the iui cost?
 
Well, I looked it up and it looks like it is $300-$400 without insurance. I haven't paid anything out of pocket yet for ultrasounds, the HSG, or the labs. Not everything has been covered, but it has been coming out of my HRA. Once my HRA is empty, I'll have to pay out of pocket for what's not covered. I don't know how much it will cost with insurance. I don't even know if they will consider doing it this late in my cycle. But since I haven't O'd yet, I would think they would. If they do say yes, I'd like to do 2 IUIs back to back, like the day before and the day of, to maximize my chances.
 
Also, I know I have my O pains WHEN I O, not before. I hope that helps!
 
Becky, sorry to hear bout the fertility monitor. i dont know anything about them but too bad it wont work right now. I just am using the same lil sticks as lolo. they were pretty cheap from that early pregnancy shop online that i got the preseed from. i got like 50 of them and they came with a bunch of pregnancy tests too.

Lolo, i wonder if maybe the different times that youre testing could have somthing to do with the tests? like that last one was at night and the others in the AM. Im still new at this so not sure if that could effect it or not.

As for me, tonight i started getting some lil pains so that started giving me some hope. Last month i didnt really see much of a line at all up until the day that i got the SUPER dark line. least not that i remember, but then again i thought that the slight line ment nothing at all until i seen the posts and pics on here. So ill just hope for a lil bit of a line tomorrow, maybe one that i can see wthout squinting lol Have a great night ladies!
 
I was thinking the same thing Lolo - kind of what I was saying about me never getting a + in the AM and inly in the afternoon. Maybe if you would have tested later in the day on CD 13 it would have been super dark?

Greenie, can't wait to hear about your test today!
 
It's a possibility. The ones that say am were done around 11am and the pm around 5. We'll see what todays looks like when I get home. Hoping today is the last bd day cuz I need a break.
 
yea today .. no line at all. not even one i can see when squinting. not sure if i drank too much before hand or what. better luck tomorrrow tho.. or maybe real quick before i head off to work ill test again . i havnt drank anything at all since the last one but was only an hour and a half ago. ughh!! so stress full!! ok ladies, have a great day. im off to work. hopefully will have better news later for us all!
 
I haven't tested yet today because I just got up at 3. I am shooting to try around 10pm. We havent had time to BD in almost 3 days now....not good!
 
I'm trying not to stress about ovulating but I can't help it. I hate that I don't have pos opk. The pains I've felt in my ovary make me think I must have but then I think it could have just been gearing up but never actually followed through. Ugh! I HATE THIS!
 
LoLo, don't give up! I bet you O'd on CD 13 and it just wasn't dark because you did it in the AM. Are you still counting that one as the +?

I tested at 8:30pm and got a -. I was gonna test again at 2am but I just drank a bunch of water. So I will probably wait until 6am to test again. I have a feeling it will still be negative though. Looks like late ovulation to me.

Yeah I'm counting 13 as the positive right now I just don't feel very confident with that. I would settle for late ovulating... I just want the positive. :(

I started another thread to try and find out if clomid would make me ovulate late and lengthen my cycle, as I was 28-29 days prior to clomid.
 
Where's the link? I'd love to read what people say! Especially since it looks like my cycle will be long. I'm really disappointed because I really thought it would make mine more regular!
 
It's here https://www.babyandbump.com/trying-...-normal-28-day-cycle-longer.html#post11581671

Hoping for some answers!
 
Hey! I have been online looking and everything says that you will ovulate between 5-10 days after your last pill. So if you did days 5-9, then you would ovulate between CD 14 and CD 19. So you probably did get your + on CD 13! I don't know if that helps at all, but that is everything that I found.
 
I just checked and had a very (very) little amount of EWCM and my cervix is softer, so I am hoping maybe the next couple of days!!

Nat, where are you? Are you OK?
 
So it dawned on my maybe the reason i havnt felt much for pains this past week could be because ive been taking quite a few ib profien due to a rib being outta place! so not only is it helping with my rib pain, it prolly was covering the pains i been actually looking for LOL. So today i decided to take no pain relievers. which was no fun at all! ughhh. BUT the good news is that i felt something going on down there! so FXed that tomorrow i will get that positve opk! im gonna be xtra careful to not drink anything for a couple hours before testing this time too. Tomorrow is CD 15, which is when i got my positive last month and then im pretty sure i Oed that night. so hopeuflly i do the same this month.

Congrats becky on the ewcm! might be just a lil but better than none! i dont notice any. im also wondering bout nat.... hope everything is ok with her.
Lolo.. did you take a opk today? was it lighter than yesterdays?
 
I did, here they are. I've had quite a bit of cramping this evening. Hope you both get your undeniable positives!
