Clomid Buddies (moved to LTTTC board)

[2much]

2much: i wouldn't be surprised if it's a bfp for you soon!!

So, so far we have one, possibly two positives?!

I have had a look and correct me if I'm wrong :

Weebles: clomid day 5-9 and trigger shot?
2much: clomid day 3-7 and trigger shot?

Did anyone do trigger and got bfn?

Just stopped by the hospital, after my Dr appointment and got prices and stuff..

Yep that was my schedule exactly, Clomid CD3-7, Ovidrel trigger late CD12. I tested on 8DPO and had a negative so I knew the trigger was out of my system.

Norelisa- I'm excited for you to get started!

Hopefully this cycle works for you norelisa!

Feeling a bit sad because it's now November and we started trying last November. 86% of women my age have conceived after a year of trying.

'
Sorry about hitting your one year mark. It isn't a good feeling, I know. But I'm here for you if you ever want to talk/vent!

Hi ladies - need some advice! Did a clear blue advanced this morning and got a blinking smiley. CM is watery. Today is CD 10. Last month on clomid I didn't ovulate until cd20 (was only using wondfos so don't know when the estrogen surge started). DH is supposed to have his SA tomorrow morning but now I think we should cancel and wait until after I ovulate. I think we should be tobight then wait for the solid smiley and bd 2 days in a row. Thoughts?

I would be fine with rescheduling until after your O. Can't really hurt. But if this cycle doesn't work I personally would do the SA- I think it could be wasteful to use Clomid if you have other underlying problems you could know about beforehand! But that's just my opinion. Fingers crossed for you this cycle and maybe you won't even need the SA!

Sarah I'm sorry to hear about your one year anniversary for TTC. I'm a bit in denial over mine as we started NTNP mid November but didn't start timing things until December. I won't count myself as being at the one year mark and really believing it until December... Even though I'm about to start my 15th cycle haha. Oh denial is a long road.

Here's to hoping we both get our BFPs in the next year!

 

[Babydust28]

I'm so happy.... my specialist has called and said yes I did O so they're keeping me on 100mg Clomid on says 2-6... just a waiting game now.
That was such a relief. Praying for my bfp.
Infact I want to go and get a test for the morning.

I have
backache
Lack of energy
Dizzy sicky feeling
Headaches
Cramps

All seems positive but I know I've had good symptoms in the past and ended up getting my hopes up for no reason. Xx

You're back?

 

[BelleNuit]

I can never seem to stay away for long 2much lol. Your TWW must be coming to an end soon ??

 

[Aphy]

That's excellent Babydust,big relief for you! GL in the TWW, what dpo are you? I am currently fighting the super strong urge to test early (8dpo)

Well ff has me as 7dpo but I think I'm 8dpo.
it's such a relief to know I've ovulated and I've responded perfectly to the Clomid.

I know that feeling of dying to test... I'm so close to testing fmu tomorrow but I don't want to risk a BFN and it disappoint me if it's just BFN because it's too soon
how are you feeling... we are at the same point which is ace xx

 

[Aphy]

I have come to the conclusion that my body feels this ttc thing is a type of game: it will give me a set of symptoms one cycle to get my hopes up only to get a BFN,which means I then know that those symptoms aren't pregnancy related so I won't get hopes up if I get them again. Rational right? Do you think my body will give me the same symptoms the next cycle... Of course not! Every cycle I get new and improved symptoms just so I have to stay interested. Well played body 😂😂😂

I'm trying really hard to convince myself to not use a clearblue digital week estimator tomorrow morning since it's the most sensitive test we get here by us (10miu). Amazes me the excuses my head comes up with to try rationalize why I should test...

As you can see,the struggle is real!

I feel positive this cycle and I think that's why I am so impatient. Last cycle was the exact opposite

I know exactly how you feel... don't waste an expensive test... mine would only be one of the ICs I have.

our bodies are most certainly cruel to us, it's happened to me where I could've swore I was pregnant I just felt pregnant and had so many symptoms it was unreal and hen the stupid came along.

as much as I know stressing over it does absolutely no good I just can't help it... I Google everything it's getting ridiculous again how obsessed I am urghh xx

 

[sarah2211]

Thanks 2much. It just sucks. We thought we'd have a baby by Christmas. At this rate I probably won't be pregnant at Christmas. I just hope it happens soon. Thanks.

Belle, the anniversary sucks. We didn't start temping and timing things until about March but i don't think it really matters too much. We were BDing at least 3 times a week. Haha the denial some how makes it easier.

Baby dust, im glad you ovulated. It's really just a matter of time now, if it's not this cycle, it'll be very soon I'm sure.

Aphy, I really think you should give it another 2 days. It looks like you've just had a dip that could be implantation. Usually you can get a BFP 48 hours after that. If you can hold off haha.

AFM, tomorrow I'll be all done with Clomid for this cycle. Apart from the first day, I've felt fine on Clomid. Last time I got hot flushes a week or so after my last dose, so we will see if that happens again. Honestly it feels like DH is suffering the mood swing side effect far more than me! Haha

 

[sarah2211]

2 much have you tested again?

 

[Aphy]

Sarah,you are right so I was able to hold out on testing. Mostly due to the temp dip this morning. I always get a dip mid lp so I know to not get my hopes up about it anymore. Seeing it helped me to tone down my positivity and excitement so I am more realistic now.

I know it doesn't feel that way for you but you are already half way to O day! Just a few more days then you can work on getting that Christmas bfp!

 

[sarah2211]

I know, I've had 'implantation dips' on cycles that have ended up as a BFN. I've had a triphasic chart on a BFN cycle. I don't even know if my charts are accurate because they haven't lined up with progesterone blood tests.

But! If this dip is an implantation one, you'll be able to test in the next 48 hours. I know it feels like AGES away!

I'm CD 6 today. My doctor said to consider CD 10-20 as fertile. I'm taking Clomid on CD 3-7. When did you ladies take Clomid and when did you O?

So glad you're coming to the end of Clomid, bd like crazy and hopefully you get your bfp
it sucks that you've had an anniversary of ttc come round with no success but try not to think of that now, just keep positive (easier said than done) and it will happen. have you thought of changing the days you take clomid just as another option is all I'm thinking xx

sending your way xx




and just thought I'd send some more for all you ladies

 

[Nita2806]

Hi Ladies - havent checked in in a while and seems like i missed a lot. Hope I didnt miss any BFP

2 days left on Provera for me - and I am seriously gaining a lot of weight this cycle on Provera. Anyone else had hunger pains while on Provera?

I wonder why we all have to take Clomid on different days, anyone perhaps know why? I am taking it on day 5 - 9

 

[Babydust28]

I have caved and tested this morning and now feeling so upset because surprise surprise it's

why oh why did I do it!!!

Nita- I think from what I've read the reason people take the clomid at different times depends on the egg quality for example, if you take it 2-6 or 3-7 it gives you more follicles, but not as high quality. if you take it days 5-9 it will give you less follicles, but higher quality.
So, you may have a slightly higher chance of getting pregnant if you take it days 2-6 or 3-7 but from what I've read you're also a higher chance of miscarriage since the egg may not be high quality. xx

So sorry for the BFN

Thank you for sharing. When I went for my check up before I started Clomid my gynae told me I have 'nice eggs' lol so whatever that is supposed to mean. hope i respond to the 100mg Clomid this cycle. DH has his birthday in January and it would be awesome to him a BFP on his bday but not getting my hopes up too much.

were you taking 50mg before then?
what days have you been told to take it? I may try and mix it up a little if next cycle I don't get my bfp.

aww that's a sweet idea I hope that works for you

I need to keep positive as right now I'm feeling so upset I need to think it means I'll be slightly thinner on my wedding day and on the beach in April as we get married abroad xx

I started with 50mg last month and didnt O and now my Gynae put me on 100Mg. She also told me to take it on day 5 - 9 - so for now ill take it when she says.

The BFN can change a lot, i remember the disappointment after each and every BFN I like to think things happen as they should and when my time is right it will come. Positive thoughts also help. Perhaps mixing it up a little might work for you, I hope so.
