My cd21 progesterone is 14, kind of bummed. I see others who have 20+.

k4th - I do have PCOS, I didn't know that, would make sense in my case thank you x

Girly - sounds like a good plan! x

buttercup - sorry if this is a silly question - is it possible your blood were taken to early? I feel that cd 21 is relying on people having a 28 day cycle x

I just wanted to say thank you to all you lovley ladies for the supportive replies earlier. It as been so helpful for me very nice of you all to try and keep me thinking positive, to get that get up and go and don't give up. So thank you so much

With my metformin I were having af on my own almost every month. And the last two months before I started clomid, my clear blue digital ovulation tests came up with the smily positive on cd15 one cycle and cd17 the next cycle. It's just with me having fertile like cm and cramping I thought I were ovulating early and felt a bit down and that the clomid not worked this month because of the negative OPK'S.

If I keep obsessing over ovulation and opks and also timing my beding with the OH then I feel we may just be making things worse and will probably stop me from conceiving anyway

How is everyone doing this month so much to catch up on!

Afm af showed yesterday and I have never been so happy for her to show up! Although the tww went extremely ast thos month since their was no stressing about the possibility of being preggo. Now I'm ready to get this month started and praying that this cycle of clomid goes better than the last! Oh and I got my report back from the massive cyst that caused me to lose my ovary and it turns out it was only partially a corpus luteum cyst from ovulation. Most of it was actually a benign turmor growing inside my ovary! Definitely glad that I got it taken care of and it wasn't anything serious.

Hi, welcome back mommasboys!

Did your RE mention is that level was good or bad?

Remember that in different countries they use different units of measurement like mg/ml or ounces or whatever so don't compare your levels to any other levels that you see. It all depends on the units that your laboratory uses and where your levels are compared to that.

xxxxxxx keep your head up my friend! Thinking of you!

So I'm just going ahead and calling Saturday ovulation day until proven otherwise. Was dumb of me not to take my temp on Sunday BUT....
I felt the pain that many of you described as O pain, on Saturday (and even thought it was painful enough to be a cyst); had loads of EWCM for 4 days including Saturday,my temps have jumped up AND my nipples have been sore since 1dpo so I'm taking all of those as signs that O did indeed occur! Will know for sure after b/w next Monday. For now I'm assuming 3dpo. And hoping a bit for this cycle, but not with the same desperation as previous cycles.

Girly - Please excuse me for giggling when I read about your bd predicament! I just know exactly how you felt! When I was younger I would never have thought that timed bd would become such an issue!!! This cycle we bd'd eod EXCEPT the 2 days before I ovulated... Ironic. But we did dtd on ovulation night. So even though there might not have been swimmers waiting, maybe they could still have caught up to my egg I hope. Your schedule & plan sounds good! Really hope that you O soon!!! I also had multiple patches of EWCM before O.

SarahLou I agree with all the other ladies CD12 is a bit early and it seems to be the norm for a lot of clomid ladies to ovulate a bit later than that. Last cycle I ovulated on CD16 and now only on CD22! So don't stop bd eod! And good luck.

Lace&Pearls glad to hear you are feeling better, also K4th that the grey cloud is lifting. What a positive message I got from that

Grateful that I'm almost on holiday and it's almost my birthday!

I'm thinking of all of you lovely ladies xxx

According to the nurse, it was good but I can't help to over think things.

Hi Fern,

keeping my FX'd for you Hun!

 

[SarahLou372]

Look what I got today CD 13!!

Anyone every used the clearblue digital advanced ovulation tests... I got a flashing smiley face which is apparently High fertility.. So when I get a solid non-flashing face then it will be 12-36 before I ovulate Im sure the pictures will help to explain I managed to catch a picture of the smiley face it was hard as it kept flashing on and off

And I have watery and EWCM today too... breasts ache too hopefully will be soon. What do you all think?

 

[Fern81]

SarahLou I think within the next couple of days . Yay for you!

 

[SarahLou372]

Im so excited I swear I can feel my body gearing up!

I just dont know what day are best to bed.. usually me and OH bed every night when we go to bed.. im hoping this not too much

 

[Buttercup77]

SarahLou,

I'd say based on the pic you are almost at your peak and should continue to bd when you can. Wishing you lots of luck!

 

[SarahLou372]

Thank you ladies

My chin gone all spotty and my breasts ache... still have watery cm and slight cramps now and again...

Took the test again with a PM urine and that was also a flashing smiley again!

Me and OH bed everynight when we go to bed anyway.. sorry tmi

 

[Fern81]

Sooooo... SA for hubby tomorrow morning, eeeekkkkkk! He is making me go along to help, lol. So unfair that the men just have to do "that" while we ladies are subjected to uncomfortable and embarrassing procedures on a routine basis.
This is still part of our "actively trying" for this cycle and the next two. Already looking forward to having no more procedures!

My husbands first SA was a little awkward because I think we were both nervous about what we should and shouldn't do. Good luck Hun!

 

[k4th]

sarahlou!! Very happy for you hun!! I get spots at ov too - the things we endure

Fern - glad it looks like you ov'd & your nurse is gonna try & move your lap. Good luck for the SA - I left hubby to it lol!

Buttercup - progesterone test *should* be done 7dpo. Some people may have it done at 6 or 8/9 depending when weekends fall etc. if your nurse thinks it's ok go with her instinct - better than worrying about something you can't control. Easier said than done though

Afm - horrible AF cramps all today today & all night last night. Just waiting for the

 

[HeatherFaerie]

leaving the clomid club. 4 cycles, 50mg, no dice. I absolutely hated the side effects. Wanting to take the holidays off, and then see the fertitlity specialist in the new year, and hopefully try something other than Clomid, in order to do IUI (the only thing hubby and I will sort of be able to afford).

Has anyone here had the vision issues with clomid? specifically the doubling (for me it was only in the morning), i seem to be extra light sensitive in the morning now, sort of like my eyes shut off my peripheral vision for the first 20 minutes in order to cope. anyone else?

Just very sore spots too. But hopefully I will be ovulating soon and I really hope we catch that egg

 

[lace&pearls]

I'm a bit confused I'm on my 4th day of positive OPKs I mean in a way that's a good thing don't get me wrong, but now I'm worried we wasted all the good swimmers on the first day or 2 when is it really tonight that counts? and also to make matters worse I'm pretty sure the OH is too tired to dtd tonight we dtd the last 3 nights in a row. (In all fairness I'm not really in the mood either but still!...)
what's the most important time to dtd after a positive OPK? :s I'm wondering if the OPKs are just too sensitive or something I've never used this brand before... I'm just all worried now I will miss the boat tonight

Sarah - ah that's great about your smiley! v pleased for you x
