Hi ladies! I've read through most of your 335 page forum (believe it or not) because I'm on my first cycle of clomid and really need to find some answers. I was hoping you'd be able to answer me since it seems like you've gone to hell and back for the last months/years and experienced quite a lot of ups and downs.

My story is this: Started TTC August 2013, finally O'ed and got a BFP on CD45 in May 2014 but m/c after a few weeks. I was put on medicine to start AF again because everything stopped after the m/c. Then I took Clomid CD3-CD7 and today I am CD18. I have very irregular cycles (Since I stopped taking BCP they've been everywhere from 28 days up to 72 days, averaging at 41 days!)
I've had cramping on and off in my uterus area since CD10 and veeeery tender boobs. My question is, could I have ovulated on or around CD10? Isn't that way too early for a gal like me? I did the only 2 OPKs I had on CD11 and CD12, the one I took on CD11 showed a faint line but the day after test showed almost no line at all. It's really expensive to get OPKs here in Iceland and it takes ages to order the cheap internet ones so I've not really been using them... Oh and we BD'd CD6, CD8, CD10, CD12, CD13, CD 15 and CD16...

What do you think is happening with me? I'm cramping like crazy just sitting here at work... :/
I appreciate your time and hope you have a wonderful day

I'd say the cramps could be ovulation out it could just be a side effect of the Clomid. The Clomid made me feel horrible and had awful mood swings. I'd say as long as you BD every other ish day you should have covered your bases. Also I ovulated around cd 10-11 one round of Clomid so anything's possible.

Labgal that's so exciting a baby boy! Also no we never had any of this IVF stuff do this will be my first.

 

[Blackbarbie04]

SO Labgirl it's a boy or are you wishing Ellie have a boy???

Drauma:

I have ovulated as early as CD 10 before, but no bfp. The cycle I got my bfp on I started my cycle on Jan 16, took Femara CD 3-7 and got my bfp on CD 31 in which I probably would have seen it sooner, but I wanted to wait for the heartache after V day!!!! Which was 2/15/14!!!

 

[labgal]

Sounds like a s/e of the clomid to me, Drauma. I took clomid cd 2-6 and didnt O until cd 16 cycle one and 18 cycle two, i believe. Not to say it's not possible you could have Od then, though. They said you can O as early as 5 days after the last pill, though 10 is more typical.

Barbie - My baby is a boy! ! We found out Monday!

66 more days. Time is flying by!!! Going bassinett and carseat/stroller shopping this weekend!!! I'v egained 10 pounds in over the 4 week period of me seeing my doc. I was having light bleeding sunday and had to go to the ER, but she stated that it was just baby getting my body ready and not to be alarmed!!! Her heartbeat was fantastic and after learning she could make the monitor make noise she went crazy and started making alot of noise. My Husband called her DJ Kenzie!!! LOL, she was a trip!!! Have a follow up appt tomorrow and will ask my questions then.

 

[Buttercup77]

Has anyone noticed a heavier period after a Clomid cycle? AF the witch arrived today with an attitude. CD1 isn't heavy and not much cramping. CD3 - CD4 are usually my heavier and cramp days.

Just curious if it's just me.

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Buttercup it made me cramp worse when I was on Clomid. I didn't Clomid at all!!!

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Had my 31 week check up yesterday and instead of 9 weeks left to go I have 7-8 weeks to go and he will be taking lil Kenzie at 39 weeks!!! So super excited. I will be having another c-section... I am super stoked and can't wait!!!!

 

[Ellie Bean]

Yay Barbie that's so exciting!

Yes the Clomid made me super heavy and very bad cramps.

 

[Ellie Bean]

Transfer scheduled for Tuesday! We're still doing two embryos, one male and one female!

 

[Ellie Bean]

The transfer is tomorrow! So excited can't wait!

 

[Buttercup77]

Good luck, EllieBean!!

The transfer is tomorrow! So excited can't wait!

 

[Ellie Bean]

How is everyone? Transfer went well for us. We've got two little embryos in my uterus now so I'm officially PUPO(pregnant until proven otherwise)

 

[Blackbarbie04]
