Sarah - I was sooo sad to see your message, sorry for the bfn BUT it is still early, and you know what they say - it aint over till the fat lady (AF) sings. FX that you get the bfp in a few days.

Ask - thtas great news about DH SA.

Afm - still very sick and I have decided to take the antibiotics since I only gotten worse since yesterday. DH and I wont BD while I take the antibiotics, even if I O just incase. We dont want an increased chance at a mc. Hopefully i am done with the antibiotics by the time i O. Belle, how are you feeling?

 

[BelleNuit]

Nita I think I'm nearing the end of this awful virus I seem to have. Have gotten to the dry cough stage so surely it will be all over soon!

So sorry to hear you are feeling unwell too! I hope the antibiotics help!

Happy to hear you are getting to the end of it. Yesterday i told my doctor that its the worst possible time to get sick just after finishing clomid, and she said, its best to just get preg by accident, because if you try to get preg the world will just work against you lol it is sooo true.

 

[sarah2211]

Thanks ladies. Nita, I've just been so sad all day

I think I'll wait and test again on Friday morning (13DPO). I'll probably get a good clue from my temp in the morning though. If it drops I'll know I'm most likely out. If it's still up it'll be triphasic and I might be in with a chance. Feeling really dizzy the last few days so if I'm not about to get a BFP, maybe I'm getting sick like everyone else here!

Hi, I was told to join this thread.

Um, this is my first round of clomid, the bottle says 50mg, but each pill also says 50mg. I'm ordered to take two a day, from day 5-9.

My DH and I have been trying, with 0 luck, for 9 months.

I'm a fresh 24, he is 26, almost 27.

It's been hard, I'm sure you all understand.

I don't chart, it's far too much work for myself. As my cycles were over 60 days long, and ovulation still wasn't happening or happening proper. (Clearly).

I'm taking prenatals, as well.

I plan on drink tons of fluids, using opks, preseed if I dry out, and buying a ferning kit for next round if this one doesn't work.

I was on the BCP for 9 years, and stopped 10 months ago to TTC and was met with crazy irregularness.

I have endometriosis; my mother has severe endometriosis and one ovary, she conceived me naturally after 6 months, and then brother after 8 months. But she also had regular 28 day cycles, but no way to know ovulation. :O

 

[Nita2806]

Msac - welcome to the thread. I can relate to some parts of your story. I am also 24 hubby is 26 almost 27 and we have also started ttc 9 months ago. I got off BCP and didnt ovulate on my own like i did before BCP. I am on my 2nd cycle of Clomid (100mg) as I didnt Ovulate on 50mg. Fx for you that the Clomid works.

 

[sarah2211]

My temp dropped. I think I'm out

Hugs dear! We will get through this!

Do you have a trigger shot appointment? I'm going to talk to my doctor about that as an option if this round doesn't work.

No I dont, i am still waiting to see if I ovulate this cycle or not. If I dont, i might be taking a break over december and take provera in january to induce AF and talk to my doctor about other options such as trigger and femara. I have my 21 day blood test next week Friday, so I will know by then.

Sarah - I am thinking of you.

 

[Babydust28]

I've just had a huge glob of EWCM and never ever noticed it before wohoo... I'm taking oh straight upstairs now to bd, will bd in the morning and tomorrow night... basically twice a day now I think I eat to catch this little eggy.
I have some aches and Twinges so think this is O and bout to happen... never felt it before so am unsure but I'm feeling hopeful and excited

 

[BelleNuit]

Oh Sarah I'm so sorry. I really hope your not out and that your temp will jump back up again tomorrow.

I'm sitting at 10 dpo. No spotting, and lots of creamy cm. Tomorrow and the next day will be the real test as that's when I usually start spotting. Here's to hoping.

 

[Ask4joy]

Babydust - sounds like promising O symptoms!

Sarah - still holding out hope for you!

Welcome MsAC!

Nita - sending you get well wishes!!!

Belle - no spotting is good! FX for you!

Had my day 3 ultrasound today and ovaries look good. I asked doc about the debilitating AF pain and she said that it might be endo. I sometimes have painful bowel movements too (sorry, TMI). She said if I'm not pregnant after this cycle she will do a laparoscopy which will require general anesthesia. A little freaked out!

 

[sarah2211]

Thanks everyone. DH is home now. He wants me to test in the morning. I guess if my temp hasn't plummeted I will, but I'm not really very hopeful. I'm expecting AF.

My doctor said to try Clomid for 3 months and if it hasn't worked to come back. So we had our first appointment on the 1st of September and I've ovulated once but had 2 cycles. Do you think I should give it 3 ovulatory cycles (now I'm on the right dose) or 3 cycles in total? Or 3 months? When AF arrives, I'll probably just email the nurse.


Good luck Belle, hopefully the spotting stays away.

 

[BelleNuit]

They probably want 3 ovulatory cycles, but if you are on a tighter deadline because of DH then maybe give them a ring and see what they say

 

[sarah2211]

I'm definitely keen to give it another cycle on 100mg but after that DH is probably going away. Plus our specialist only comes to our town once a month. So if he's here and I'm in my TWW of my 3rd cycle then I'd have to wait a whole month to see him.

 

[Norelisa]

Oh, I still keep my fingers crossed for you this cycle, Sarah.. Im also thinking about testing tomorrow morning.. 13dpo, though I'm pretty sure it will be another bfn..

Oh, calling out to Brazil nut specialists: should I only eat them during 2ww or throughout the cycle..?

 

[Nita2806]

Sarah - my doctor said 3 ovulatory cycles on Clomid.

Just an update: things have turned to the worse, i am only getting sicker and I am very dihydrated. Had to go back to doctor for stronger meds, and i have no idea what impact it will have on the Clomid and Ovulation. But DH and I have agreed, no BD while im on the antibiotics and if I O this month.

Oh noes I am so sorry, really not a good time to be ill at all!! what antibiotic did you get? My Dr spent a loooong time looking for options for me when I had my sinus infection. There are some meds that are worse than others. Like the nasal spray can be worse than the antibiotics in some cases..

Anyway, I hope you get better really soon!! Wish there was something I could do

My doctor gave me kantrexil, which i had before so I know it really works and zofer rapitab which is also very good since its a pil you need to chew so it goes directly into my bloodstream. I am really glad that i went back for the stronger meds, its been 12 hours and i am feeling a lot better, could also eat some food today. But i will be staying in bed for another few days.

Do you ladies have plans for black friday? We have some major specials here, so i will be (online) shopping tomorow.

Norelisa - thanks for the kind words and caring also i googled what effect antibiotics have on Clomid when taken together, and i saw a few people complaining about sinus infections, seems like quite a few ladies get it. If I were you id ask about femara for the next cycle

 

[Norelisa]

Not sure they have any black Friday sales in Bangkok, but I might have a quick look online

Always excited to go to bed these days,will my temp stay put, go down, go up? No one knows!!
Not even my body seems to be able to decide.. (had two patches of 3.5 h sleep: first I got 37.1 then 36.8... Can't wait to get my new thermometer...
