[laurac1988]

Well, the pain eventually lifted yesterday. Then, today, I had a nice, high bbt. So, I think I've entered the TWW.

Fx for fertilization and implantation of what must've been a monster egg (at least it felt that way trying to escape my follicle!).

Oh that's filled me with hope! The pain is quite ouchie tonight so I'm hoping I ov soon so it can F off

 

[lace&pearls]

afm I had to cancel Hsg as I am now cd40 no sign of +OPK or anything. This is getting annoying now! As the lady who books the scans didn't seem too positive about being able to book another one for me before 16th April when I see FS. She said I could phone his secretary and ask her to postpone it for "a week or 2" (so I can have Hsg first) but knowing that hospital they might delay it for 3 months or something.
So tomorrow I'm going to go to the doctors and ask for a prescription of provera, I'm not going to take it until I know I definitely have an Hsg booked in place as I don't see the point it's not going to be for weeks. Going to ask the doctor for any advice they have too.
I have felt a bit snappy and irritable today like AF is coming tomorrow? Weird? Hope my mood has improved by tomorrow hate feeling touchy.

Hope you're feeling better this morning. O is SO painful on the clomid, but my fingers are crossed that it's a good sign.

AFM - I'm just twiddling my thumbs at 3DPO. The wait is torturous.

 

[laurac1988]

Yup - no pain at all this morning, so I think I probably ovulated in the early hours of this morning.

Now all we can do is wait... I'M BORED OF WAITING!

 

[TTC74]

I'M BORED OF WAITING!

Relating! I'd like to just fast forward to the testing portion of the month.

Hey ladies how is everyone doing?

Fern it looks like maybe you had a possible implantation dip today? Fx

Afm as promised to keep updated I went for another scan today. Sadly we only found one baby so it seems like only one of the twins made it. On a positive note my little bean was very active and had a heart rate of 170. The baby is measuring 10 weeks 6 days which is exactly where I should be based on lmp. Now fx crossed that we make it past 12 weeks as I've miscarried at 11 weeks 5 days before.

Fx for everyone that this will be the month for loads of bfp!

 

[TTC74]

Any of you ladies have a clomid chart that looks like mine? What, if anything, does it mean to have a rising BBT pre-implantation. Can anyone shed some light?

 

[laurac1988]

Just means you have strong progesterone hun. FX!

Thanks hun. We will see.

I don't know much about pregnancy scans.... is there any chance that the scan could have been wrong? Was it the one that you did with the high risk doctor?
I really am praying for a healthy pregnancy for you; whether with one or two. And I'm so sorry if one truly didn't survive. I can't even imagine how sad you must be feeling.
Just know we are here to chat with you and lend a sympathetic ear. And feel free to pm me any time.

Lots of hugs!!!

Lace& pearls - I would definitely also feel irritated and blue if I had to struggle with appointments like that. I dearly hope something GOOD happens for you soon. It's about time!!!

TTC74, I agree with Laura. Progesterone is linked to higher temps so that looks like climbing progesterone levels.

How is everyone else?

I'm exhausted and dizzy the past 2 days but still blame everything on the clomid. I'm maybe going to start Honours studies this year already. Admin at the university messed up my application so I will have to wait and see. Maybe that will be a good replacement to ttc? And just continuing with ntnp for a few years? I don't know. Am very indecisive as to the road ahead since my clomid journey is finished for now. We will see what the specialist says when I go in June but I still don't want to spend more money on fertility treatment... rather on something that I know will have a positive result like buying a house and continuing my studies. And we still want to go to Zanzibar in Sept on our limited budget.... sigh.... decisions, decisions!

[TTC74]

Ick. I'm feeling cruddy today. I'm guessing it's the progesterone surge. I'm having hot flashes, a headache, and I'm moody as all get out!

 

[TTC74]

Also, I just got a message from my RE. He wants to do a 21 day progesterone check on Saturday. I'm hoping to get a BFP before I get the results (although I know that would be early since I could get the results Monday at 10 DPO).

Hi all

Just wanted to pop by & say hello to all you clomid ladies - new as well as my ttc buddies. I'm still subscribed to this thread & stalk you guys regularly I'm still cheering you all on (even though I don't post as often as I should )

Fern - glad you got a good ov & I really hope this is your lucky month. Your other plans sound fab too - I'm praying you don't have to choose & you can have it all!! Your chart looks good this month but sorry to hear you're having the dreaded clomid side effects! Hope they ease off a bit

Ttc74 - good luck with your progesterone test. Sounds like you have all the symptoms of good progesterone!

Laura - hope you got a good ov & caught that egg! & hope you don't mind someone you've never "met" before saying that

Lace&pearls - that sucks about your checking your tubes. Tbh - I may have just lied at that point & said I'd had a period, done the test & then collected some provera. All the waiting around for answers is so frustrating!!! Sorry you're having such a hard time getting all the appointment timing right

Mommasboys - so sorry about the vanishing twin I hope your little bean stays tucked away snugly and keeps on growing and getting stronger & stronger.

Afm - just a little update. I had my 20 week scan last week & everything looks good. This clomid bubs is a strong one! I'm still having the occasional but of spotting/bleeding but everything seems to be in the right place & growing well so I've just been told not to worry. Easy said!! We stayed team yellow so it will all be a surprise when he/she arrives in summer.

Sending you ladies so much you can't see straight!! Hoping this thread gets some more clomid very soon

 

[kittykitchn]

Hello

I hope I can join your Clomid club!

I finished my first round yesterday (days 2-6), I'm now on CD7. I've had tons of watery CM this morning, which I never get (never get EWCM or watery). Although this is a bit odd, I'm going to guess this is a bit soon for fertile days... ?

When should I start using OPKs? And when would ovulation be expected when taking clomid 2-6? My "normal" cycle lengths vary from 35-50days, so I can't really go on that!

Any advice is greatly welcomed.
Thank you!

 

[Fern81]

Hi all

Nice to hear from you K4th! So happy all is well and that your little bubba is flourishing. Team yellow! Will power! I would of course want to know immediately lol. And you are half way already, wow time flies. Sending you lots of hugs xxx

Welcome Kitty! I think OPKs should be started around 3 days after your last tablet, not before. And then after a few cycles you will know more or less when to expect O and when to start OPKs. Although every cycle might not have exactly the same O day. Since starting clomid O has always fallen on CD14-16 for me except once when it was CD21 or something. (But that month was very stressful with final exams etc). I would also highly recommend using a fertility tracker app like fertilityfriend, and to take your basal body temperature if at all possible. This will really help you to see more clearly what is going on with your cycles.
And yes, I personally have also started getting fertile looking CM on clomid as early as my last tablet. I don't think it's uncommon. The signs should ideally be getting clearer as O approaches. GL hun!

AFM: Urgh I have started with my usual cramping, (TMI!) diarrhea, and blood tinged CM that I always start getting about 2 days before AF. My lower back is killing me so I know it's just around the corner, about 2 days or so. A bit early at 9dpo BUT then maybe I did O on CD14 before my first temp rise, which would make me 11dpo today. If AF does arrive then it means that my LP was shorter than normal this month....

F*ck I can't do this anymore.

 

[TTC74]

Pretty good temp dip today - about .35 degrees. Secondary estrogen surge? Early ID for an early BFP? Stay tuned! I will say that I was having pretty snazzy stretching sensations last night in the right side of my groin. Fx it's baby taking up real estate!

Hello ladies

Hope some of you remember from this thread??

I just popped in to say that me an OH have a appointment with our gynaecologist again next month (9th April) to discuss what we will need to do next after losing our little Skye .. he may put me back Clomid or he might want me to have more tests and try something else who knows. So maybe I will be joining you all again sometime in the nearer future.

 

[coquis224]

Hello Ladies!! May I join? I start my 2nd round of clomid 50 mg tomorrow. My last cycle they had me just start taking it since I hadn't had a period since December and Yesterday I got AF all natural 12dpo which is early for me . My luteal phase was only 12 days. Hopefully this cycle it works again as last month even with up and down temps I had my first + opk ever. I was thankful to have a natural period. I've also started exercising since the weather is FINALLY nice and not freezing cold.

I'm here to cheer you on ladies. Good luck to us all!
