All my others have been really faint or not even there. This morning at 8 it was faint now at noon it's almost same colours soo happy I'm in with a chance I also got sore nipples and tender uterus x

Oooo-- some ladies don't get a fade-in pattern on their opks. As in they don't get darker as you get close to your surge. Might just see that positive opk and get shocked! Lol

RN mommy- I'm taking the nipple soreness as a good sign fx!! How many dpo are you now?

Blackbarbie-- we are pretty close with our clomid!! I'm two days past taking mine today. Maybe we'll o around the same time!

Afm-- fertility monitor gave me a low yesterday and a high this morning, although the test sticks look similar to me. Must remind myself to stop over thinking it! Bding every other day now til I get peak or positive opk, whichever comes first, then every day til temp shift! Sooo excited! Preseed and soft ups are all ready to go!

 

[OoOo]

Good luck ladies xx

I'm on cd 13/14. I started my period 29th march in the evening then full flow over night so I wasn't sure whether to count from 29 or 30th if counting from 29th I'm cd 14 I took clomid day 4-8 was late getting prescription. So thought it would be ok to take it than waste a month. If counting from 30th I'm cd 13. Since early yesterday morning I had watery cm. last night I was tender when we bd in my uterus and that uncomfy feeling continues today plus my cervix has gone really high and lots of cm. do you think I may be ov. I finished clomid 5 days ago. I usually have 26/27 day cycle. I had a prog test last cycle which wa show no ovulating but I always regular periods just last few months only a light 1 to 2 day period. Gynaecologist suspected no ov. Hence the prog test. She started me on clomid when it came back. This is my first go on clomid.

What a Coincidence!!!! I am on CD 12 today. I started spotting on April 1 (great April Fools gift huh? )!!!!! My doc told me to wait until my full flow day to count as Day 1! I started my Clomid day 4-8 (5-9) ((it was kinda confusing)) in which today is my 3rd day after my last pill. You could be getting ready to ovulate as I am. I got a *BLINKING SMILEY* today which lets me know that my estrogen level is rising getting ready for my LH to rise. I will probably get a *BLINKING SMILEY* again tomorrow and reach my peak Sunday!!! Me and DF 5 am and my uterus was very very sore. So, your body could just be getting ready to ovulate. I told DF I think my body was getting ready to ovulate and I would have blinky in the morning, and I was right. As for me, my ovaries began to tingle and ache when it is close to ovulation. Now, as for me as well I do not get CM like other women do, maybe Clomid dries mine up. I heard people saying that Robitussin works, I will have to try.

Hi all! I'm currently on dpo 4 (I believe). My hubby and I bd last night, and I had the worst cramps EVER afterwards. Being that this is my first round of clomid I've taken, it made me ever so slightly nervous. Has anyone had this happen and did you need to see a dr? The cramps lasted for about 15 minutes and my ovaries just feel a little sore today. Thanks in advance!

I totally understand where you're coming from with that! Except, unfortunately that happens to me very frequently 1-2wks before AF shows up. Even though cycles are irregular off of Clomid, I still got the worst cramps, especially after BD. That's how I always knew she was gonna show up eventually.
I've been really crampy since possible O. Not fun

Today is 2 days after my last clomid pill taken. I have a dull back pain on my left side and a slight headache, but nothing more than that. Got a O on my Clearblue smiley this morning so hopefully I will see a blinking on CD 12 or 13 and maybe a still on CD 14 or 15. Fingers crossed. Me and DF started yesterday for EOD as my DR stated that if you every day the sperm quality will not be as good as they haven't had time to mature. So, today it look like it's my off day. DF is extremely excited and I am very positive that this may be my month!!! Guess, I will get to work now !!!!

FX this is your month!!! Praying for a New Year's Baby for you!



*As for me...I called doc's office this morning. They finally got back to me this afternoon. Doc wasn't in the office and they can't pass on the results to me until doc reviews them. I want my results now!
I think waiting for blood to confirm O is a nightmarish wait! This sucks!
I'm okay with getting BFN this month as long as I know the Clomid is working. Then we can really start trying

How are all of my fellow ladies tonight???

I am ready for my "O" day!!! I was estatic to see my blinking smiley this morning. I showed DF and he jumped out of bed at 5:45 am and said let's get to it!!! That way we don't have to worry about missing any windows!!!! At first I was like , but then he made me do all the work (TMI IK) O well, hopefully 2 more days and I will "O" on Sunday!!!!!!!!!

KMR-Where do you get your softcups? Do you have to order those? Yes, I can tell I am pretty close and I love using the clearblue advanced smiley's. I could never read the lines. Maybe we will "o" around the same time. January babies!!!!!!!!!

Blackbarbie-- I got my soft cups in Walgreens! I hadn't planned on trying them, as the whole insertion thing freaked me out, but when I saw them in the store, I figured I may as well. They look a little daunting, but if you follow the instructions and practice a time or two before the real deal, it's smooth sailing. Lol what we will do for ttc. I got a high on the clearblue fertility monitor so I assume that's the same as a blinking smiley come on o!

One more thing, embarrassing question, but do you put the spermies in the cup first or do you BD and then put the cup in? . One more thing, how long do you keep it in. Our Wal-Greens do not sell them anymore, but our CVS does. OMW!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SomeonesMommy]

I did the softcups this month too. LOVED them!!! I believe it was RNMommy that said she used preseed, softcups, and clomid and got a Bfp 1st round! I'm a google fanatic and found that most people used them AFTER bd ( that's what I did). I did read a post that someone put the sperm in the cup and then inserted it and got a Bfp, but I personally didn't want to risk wasting any of my hubby's spermies. Good luck!

Hello Ladies! Hope everyone is doing well! AF arrived for me today so onto Clomid Cycle #2. Still taking 50mg on CD 3-7 since I know I O'd on that this past cycle. Come on New Years baby!

 

[OoOo]

Think my surge will be tonight it's def same shade as test line now. Do some come up the same or will it be darker than the test line to be a full positive ?

I tried robiussin it seems to have worked as I have more cm than I do even in a cycle without clomid.xx

 

[Britta C]

When I o'd mine was the exact same as my control. I got that result on CD 15 at afternoot and again that night and I felt the O pains about 6 hours later.

Many thanks Hun. I'm cd 14/15 depends If I count from full flow I always counted from day 1 of any flow previous. But anyway tomorrow will be day 15/16. I've had sore uterus for last two days. Today I got real sore bbs. So hoping I'm ov now or tonight. X

 

[RNmommy]

Hope you get your blood results hun. Are you ringing them today? I deffo got sore nipples today. And still sore cramps uterus

*I got my bloodwork back. Progesterone 8.8. Doc says that doesn't indicate that I ovulated. Which is CRAZY based on my symptoms.
So she upped my dosage of Clomid to 100mg for next cycle. I actually went and picked it up today while I was out just so I have it.
So onto the next...

All my others have been really faint or not even there. This morning at 8 it was faint now at noon it's almost same colours soo happy I'm in with a chance I also got sore nipples and tender uterus x

That's awesome!!!!

I thought they were a good sign too but I'm guessing I geared up to O but didn't. Although I red on another one of those doctor sites that Progesterone over 3 can indicate O but fertility specialists just like to see it at 10-11 or higher. So who knows. I don't even know when I'll get AF if I didn't ovulate. Pharmacist said if AF doesn't start on CD 28 or around then, to come back & get the prescription of Provera that I never picked up because I ended up not needing it. So we'll see.

BlackBarbie - He made you do all the work!
That is just too funny!
The one time I used the Softcups I slid it in while I was still laying in bed after we BD. He "left his deposit" and then I slid it in. It kinda just scooped up the sperm & held them there when I slid it in. It wasn't bad at all. KMR is right, they look a little intimidating but they're really not that bad.

Yeah, I used Clomid by itself on cycle 1 (in 2011) and O but no BFP. 2nd cycle I added PreSeed& SoftCups to my routine. I only used PreSeed a couple of times & only used the Softcup once but I swear the Softcup was the icing on the cake. That second cycle - BFP!!!

I'm CD 23 today so now I'm just waiting for AF. Which is fine. This month was not a sure fire thing anyways. I'm just happy that she bumped my dosage up so we can get this thing rolling.

 

[OoOo]

Still keeping everything crossed for you rnmommy. X and if not then good luck with your next cycle x

 

[RNmommy]

I would have been just happy knowing that I O'd!
I'm ok with it, really. Maybe we'll get some twinsies with a higher dose.
Haha...then I'll really be

Thank you, though.

 

[OoOo]

I just got a positive opk my line is darker than test line. Did one at 6 and was same colour. Just did one at 11pm blaring positive.
