Clomid buddies?

[krissie328]

I sure hope so. I am going to test when I get home this afternoon. Fx it's positive! We've had good timing so far so feeling more optimistic.

 

[krissie328]

How are you ladies doing?

I got my positive opk yesterday. So I'm thinking today is o day. Fx for a temp raise tomorrow.

 

[elliecain]

I'm still getting negative opks, but I have my follicle scan tomorrow evening, so should find out how far off I am then I'd expect ovulation to be on Wednesday or Thursday, so I won't get positive opks for a couple more days. Fingers crossed for a temp rise for you tomorrow!

Hi ladies! I actually just moved over to the 2ww thread! I O'd Yesterday, CD14 so I am 1dpo today!

Hi ladies! I actually just moved over to the 2ww thread! I O'd Yesterday, CD14 so I am 1dpo today!

Yay! Congrats.

I think I o'd today. Hoping for a temp rise tomorrow.

 

[elliecain]

Excellent Jenn!
I hope you get your temp shift soon Krissie.

My follicle scan yesterday showed 2 dominant follicles, so I'm waiting for ovulation today or tomorrow! My lining was great too, at 8.8.

I'm 6 DPO today. No symptoms really. I am doing progesterone vaginally this cycle because my luteal phase is usually 8 days. I would usually start spotting tomorrow so we will see if this helps. I was told by my RE to test on 2/1 and the wait is hard (as we ALL know!).

On a side note: hubby, friends, and I have a vacation to Mexico booked and paid for in April but now all this info has come out about the Zika virus. Looks like if I do get pregnant before then that I'll be staying home and they will be going without me
But I'm still full TTC mode and we won't stop for a vacation (no matter how much it sucks to miss it)

Hi ladies,

Can I join you? I'm starting Femara this cycle. Last time I was ttc it we tried clomid first and it didn't work for me. I'd ovulate one cycle then not ovulate the next. They'd up the dose and same thing would happen.

When I finally got in to the fertility specialist he recommended Femara (Letrizole) and it worked much better for me. Got my bfp on the 3rd cycle and ended up having twins

Very excited to start trying again. Hoping Femara will once again do its magic for us.

 

[MamaMac123]

Rq120 - nice to see I'm not the only one doing Femara! ☺️ That would be a bummer to miss the vacation but totally worth it for the baby!

Just went back and read through all the posts so far. I also have pcos. Have any of you ladies been put on metformin? I was on that last time and starting it again this time. My fertility doctor says it helps pcos patients to get pregnant and also helps lower the miscarriage risk when you stay on it during the pregnancy.

I bbt chart also. With pcos our temps are all over the place of course (how I envy women with nice normal consistent charts! Haha) but I do still get a nice distinct temp rise when I ovulate. This was my chart from when I got pregnant with the twins if anyone wants to check it out:

 

[krissie328]

Welcome MamaMac. I am currently on metformin. I was with DS as well. I have found that taking clomid really messes with my temps. I noticed once I stopped it they settled down again.

 

[Rq120]

My fertility problems are limited to endo, not PCOS, so no metformin or other therapies for me. I think using metformin is pretty common. I don't temp (too much work). This is my first time TTC and my first cycle with Femara. I hope it works and I can get a BFP here soon!

 

[elliecain]

Hi girls. How you are all ok and enjoying your 2wws...

After no symptoms while I took the Clomid, I had the worst ever ovulation pains this month, definitely due to the medicine. I was truly in agony from midday until I went to sleep. Now, at 4dpo, I'm getting lots of little cramps (like AF ones) and I'm really constipated. I usually have sore boobs and creamy cm around now, instead of which I have sensitive nipples and sticky cm. My temps are very odd this month, with really rocky pattern prior to ovulation and only a very small rise after.

Anyone else experienced any of this?

I've always read that different from normal is good, so I'm trying to be optimistic despite my very odd temp pattern.

 

[MamaMac123]

Ooo Ellie! That's an awesome temp rise today! It usually takes me a couple days post ov to get that nice spike too so that's not anything to worry about I don't think. Good luck in the 2ww!

I'm on day 4 of Femara then just waiting to ovulate.

I've started metformin again and I forgot just how miserable this medication is. Like I knew it wasn't fun but I forgot just how much! It gives me these yucky abdominal cramps and diarrhea so I constantly feel like I have a stomach virus. Blah. I feel miserable.

The TWW sucked and I'm out this month. Doc called for an update tonight, had a BFN this am so they told me to stop progesterone and call on CD1

Sorry hun!

I am 10 dpo. Still getting bfn. But it's still early. But I have a 12 day lp so expect af on Sunday.

 

[krissie328]

How are you ladies doing?

I thought I would come update... I got my bfp on Saturday. I cannot believe we got pregnant out first round of clomid again!!

Hi this is my first time replying on these threads so apologies if I get some terminology wrong. Me and my husband have been TTC since Nov 2013 I was constantly on the pill prior from age of 16 I'm nearly 33 now we went for all the test blood tests which showed my hormone levels where low but the womb scan and ovary tests came back fine. My husbands sperm count came back a little low under standard but nothing to be concerned about I don't have Pcos and they put it down to unexplained infertility. My periods when coming off the pill where all over place I would AF every month but could never predict when to which the GYN said I might not be ovulating and prescribed Clomid.

we didn't take Clomid to begin with and my periods did regulate around August last year I did BFP in September but unfortunately MC at 6 weeks and BFN since. My periods started to become irregular again in December 2015 so took my first round of Clomid in Jan 2016 Cd2-6 50mg. I haven't really had any side effects but normally I Opk CD14 I'm now on CD17 and no Lh surge on Opk as of yet I'm wondering whether anyone else is finding they're ovulating later aswell and wondering how everyone is finding Clomid

 

[krissie328]

Angela- I ovulated on cd 18.

 

[AngelaALA]

Angela- I ovulated on cd 18.

Thanks it fills me with confidence I've been getting slight pains so hoping O is on its way how are you finding Clomid

 

[AngelaALA]

And congratulations Krissie328 it fills me with hope that it can work Goodluck on your pregnancy
