Rnmommy-- I did one of them. The doubling time said three days 1 hour. And then it gives you a graph of max, average, and min. I was below min. I was 17 dpo with hcg of 52. Bloods done around noon. 19 dpo today, hcg 81.3, bloods done around 11. I'm over it!!

Those ic instructions will say a faint line is a negative result! It took a lot of investigating before I found ics I like. And I never tried first signals until this pregnancy, but I really like them so far. But I don't know how they do when they are negative...

 

[OoOo]

Yay for the tww! We'll be in the tww about the same time. I got my first positive this morning about 7am and fertility friend is predicting O tomorrow and so after sat I plan to start counting down!

We can keep each other sane Ellie. I think I'm going to count yesterday as ov. My pos opk was Wednesday. Yesterday was the most pain. I did bd last night aswell so I've pretty much covered myself. Going to bd tonight. And hopefully the weekend. So that's it I'm quite possibly in the tww today!! 1dpo.
Still got tenderness in my womb and boobs had shooting pain in last night. Time will tell if they get worse. Kmr thinking of you x

 

[OoOo]

I'm back to proper negative today. I'm officially in the tww and will shortly be insane. https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=127262

KMR - I'm sorry
Has there been any change?? Are you bleeding or anything like that? What is the doctor's plan?

As for me....I'm 5DPO (I think) and found out today that my progesterone on CD20 (because I couldn't go on CD21) was 8.8. They said I didn't ovulate so they will bump me up to Clomid 150mg next cycle

I just don't get it. I had all the signs of ovulation. But I guess it was a no go. Although, it does make me a little curious because I could swear that my progesterone level last cycle was 8.8. It is strange that it would be the exact same both cycle. And I'm also wondering how much one day would make as far as the level.
If I don't ovulate next cycle they are going to refer me to an actual fertility specialist. I made an appt for May 29th to have a consult with the doctor so I can figure out what our plan of attack is. Also, I think I am going to request a scan to make sure I haven't developed PCOS or something.

I'm a little upset but it's ok. I'm just going to hope that maybe by some chance I have O'd anyways.

Sorry to hear that hun xxx

 

[OoOo]

That day may have made a difference. Don't give up xxx

 

[OoOo]

Maybe double check results they may have them mixed up with last months. Xx

That's what I was thinking. I is very peculiar that both cycles it would be the exact same. I will call back again on Monday and find out. They're gone for the day now. I hate waiting
I'm still holding out hope for this cycle. I've felt really good about it up until now. If I don't end up with a BFP this cycle I think I am going to request a follicle scan too next cycle. I would love to know what's going on in there.

Oh and by the way....WELCOME TO THE TWW!!!!

I take my last clomid tomorrow on CD 6. Im still waiting for my OPK's coming in the post. When do you's recommend i start BD incase they dont get here on time xx

 

[kmr1763]

RNmommy-- it's likely that clomid won't correct a progesterone deficiency, if there is one. So if they're right and the number was the same or similar as last cycle, I would ask about progesterone supplement for the tww! I bet you did ovulate, especially if YOU feel like you did. I just hate to think of you moving up to 150 when right now there's no proof you're not ovulating except for the progesterone! I don't know, I have mixed feelings!

Afm- just spotting, brown, and really it's only when I wipe. No bleeding, no cramping. Next step is just another blood test. They don't think an adequate conclusion can be drawn from two bloods. So now we are just waiting for Monday.

I would think around CD11 maybe, just in case
I wouldn't want you to miss it. Did you have any side effects?

I know, I totally agree about the high dose Clomid. I mean, twins would be cook but I don't want a litter!
I want them to do a follicle scan next cycle (if I don't get BFP) like your doctor did for you. That would make sense, right?

Brown spotting is good. That means old blood. And no cramping is good, too!
I agree about the needing another HCG draw to really tell what's going on.
I'm praying for you!

Yeah I would definitely request a scan before you move up to a higher dose. I hope you DID ovulate the cycle! I hope the lab just got it wrong. But you know your body better than tests do. So trust that!

 

[Blackbarbie04]

On cd 9 right now. I ovulated on cd 16-17 last month taking cloud.clomid 5-9 so I'm guessing i should ovulatearound cd 14-15 this time. I started my lh testing answer test strips for this cycle. Going to start using my cups starting tomorrow!!! And preseed!!! I'm ready!!!!

Thank you! Yes i had a few side effects. I've not stopped crying for 4 days. I always feel tired and irritable but i don't know if thats a side effect of clomid. We might do the SMEP this month as it starts at CD8 xx

 

[OoOo]

Barbie I took clomid 4/8 and opk 15/16 this month clomid 2-6 and opk 13/14. Hope that helps tho different for everyone I guess

 

[OoOo]

Me I'm cd 16. Still feeling uncomfy bit crampy. Nothing else to speak of.

 

[Ellie Bean]

I'm Cd 26 today. Had positive opk on cd24. Still have slightly tender ovaries/uterus breasts are kind of tender too. I'm officially in the tww now I think but still plan to bd tonight and tomorrow to make sure all bases are covered.

 

[OoOo]

Good luck Ellie. I'm going to bd tonight tho im a bit tired of it tbh. I had pos opk cd13 I bd from day 10 thru to day 15. Twice on cd 14. And tonight if I don't fall asleep. Hope I've covered bases. I'm exhausted and fed up. Feels like a task now ;(

 

[RNmommy]

7DPO (CD24) and negative FRER this morning. I guess apart of me was just hoping I'd get an amazing Mother's Day gift.
So, now I wait some more. I am not going to test again until Monday. I got BFP at 9DPO with my daughter so if I am pregnant, I'm thinking it would show up by then. If I get BFN, I will wait until AF due to test again.

I'm a little crampy but really no other symptoms. No sore bbs or anything like that. *Sigh*

How is everyone today?? Any news from anyone??

 

[kmr1763]

RNmommy-- even if you don't get a bfp at 9 dpo, you could definitely still get one! Although mine is not a happy ending, I got my bfp at 11 dpo. So you can be surprised! And 11 dpo us perfectly normal, where as 7 dpo is waaay early! Lol don't be discouraged!

No news from me. I took another first response and it looks the same as the first response I took three days ago :/ I'm so ready for this blood test tomorrow and see what the next step is.
