Nikki - I didn't have any bleeding but I did have intense cramps when I Od.

 

[Jean40]

Oh crap, I just dropped one of my clomid pills on the floor and now i can't find it. I have to find it before my kittens find it. I'm already having a crying fit, which is probably due to the clomid, so anything that makes me more of a mess is NOT helping!

Crisis averted! I had to get on my hands & knees & get a flashlight, but I found it. It rolled under my desk & behind the shredder. I really don't need this!

Ok, so am I the only one who thinks these pills taste nasty? Bitter. Last night, I could NOT sleep, but I was cramping a bit here & there, so that might have been why. I finally got to sleep later on & only got about 4 hours.

 

[Jean40]

I slept better the last couple of nights, only 2 more nights of clomid to go! I got my MRI this morning & cleared by the cardiologist! Let's make some babies!

Hello all, I'm on my first cycle of Clomid. 50mg and took it from day 2 for 5 days. Currently on CD15 and no sign of ovulation yet.

Did a Clearblue Advanced Digital test this morning and just a big blank O. I'm so sad!! Presuming that means there is no chance of anything in the next 4 days. Should I give up now and just hope that 100mg will work next time? Or is there a chance of it still working this month.

 

[laurac1988]

50mg still might work hun. I went straight from blank circle to solid smiley this cycle on clomid and that happened on cd17 - cheapies picked it up on cd16 though

 

[TTC74]

I don't know what's going on with my chart. FF gave me crosshairs and then took them away! I'm actually hopeful that I haven't O yet, though. I'd like a nice plump CD15+ egg! Seeing that I finished up my clomid on the night of CD9 and I've been using OPKs since CD11 (all negative), I think it's likely that I haven't Od yet. I, too, am a bit confused by the fact that my OPKs aren't darkening up at all yet. It sounds like OPKs turning positive super fast is pretty normal on clomid, though. That's a bit of a relief.

 

[LouOscar01]

Really hope I still have a chance. Im feeling so down and demoralised.

My first clomid round I didn't O until CD22 then had a 16day LP. Next 2 rounds Cd16, and CD14, both with a 16/17 day LP. Thought clomid 50mg days 2-6 had sorted me out, then round 4, I was back to O'ing late on CD20! Doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, except that my LP's have been pretty constant. Opk's only turned positive on the actual day of O for me so I wouldn't discount O'ing in the next week. This round (round 5) I have decided not to temp, chart, do OPK's, check CM, take EPO or anything else - I needed to have a 'normal' month without being completely preoccupied with TTC, and the stress relief has been huge! I've resigned myself to the fact that clomid isn't going to be the answer, and I'm just going through the motions to get me onto the next stage as my specialist won't refer me for further treatment until I've completed 6 clomid rounds

My ovulation test was a little darker than yesterdays when I did it this morning, but this afternoon it was paler again. I never seem to get a full width test line on the ovulation tests either...a tiny bit of the line was as dark as the control line but not the whole test line. Also think I dipped the test for too long so it was probably invalid anyway.

 

[Jean40]

I took my last 100mg clomid last night, had the nasty headache I've had since I started taking it finally go away in the last half hour. I take my Bravelle shot tomorrow night, then ultrasound Monday to see what's going on. I feel like I have twinges here and there, but nothing else but this stupid headache and a bit of bright light sensitivity. I can't wait to see how many follies I have. When I was checked in Dec & Jan, I had one nice size follie about to burst both months (I timed those ultrasounds just so I could find out if things looked ok), so I do ovulate on my own. We just want to up my chances of something sticking with that little fibroid hanging around (the RE won't do anything to it unless I start having multiple miscarriages, it's not sticking out very far). Also hoping to help egg quality since I'm over the hill, lol.

Ladies... should ovulation happen on the same day every cycle while on clomid? How much does it actually regulate everything, or is it still a bit hit and miss? This time last month I had a solid smiley peak on my digi OPK, but this cycle I'm still waiting on Anything

I ov'd anywhere from cd14 to cd30! the waiting is hard but don't give up. A couple of months I was sure I wouldn't ov, gave up on opks & missed my window. Hope it's not too long for you

I just had a weird 20 day cycle on clomid (after Oing on CD17 the first cycle). So, I don't know if it actually regulates everything. I know it's supposed to make you O, but above and beyond that - who knows?

 

[Jean40]

I got my day 13 ultrasound this afternoon and have 3 nice size follies, 27 and 17 on right, 21 on left. Since I had my trigger shot with me, I got my shot right after (RE said I would probably ovulate on my own with my positive OPK this morning, but might as well use it since I had it). IUI tomorrow late morning. I kind of expected it would be tomorrow instead of Wed since I got the positive OPK this morning. Usually I get the positive on day 14, so not only did clomid give me 3 large follies, it is making me ovulate a day early. Fingers crossed this works!

 

[laurac1988]

I ovulated cd21 my first cycle of clomid and cd18 on my second

 

[TTCBean]

I had to reschedule my CD13 u/s due to a conflict in schedules with DH, so it will be CD16 instead. The nurse said it may be too long in between, so we will see. My last time CD13 I had nothing mature... so maybe a few more days will be good.

 

[Fezzle]

I've had 4 Clomid cycles now- the 1st one I ovulated on CD16, the 2nd was CD20-something (it was a weird cycle throughout and probably too soon after my mc), the 3rd was CD17 and this one seems to be CD17 too.

My OPKs went from so light that I had to check I hadn't done a pregnancy test because I couldn't see the line at all to blazing positive in about 4 days this time. Similarly, I went from dry to EWCM in a few days as well.

 

[TTCBean]

SO WEIRD! Of course it happens like this LOL... CD 13 (day I was to have u/s) I have had very very positive OPK all day! I've *never* ovulated this early on Clomid... I have an appointment for CD16 to check follicles, thinking it might be a waste now!

 

[Arohanui]

About to begin my sixth and final round of clomid. I hate clomid - I've felt ill/been in pain/not slept properly since November! I'm exhausted, frustrated and emotionally drained. LTTTC'rs, what's your secret to staying positive and happy? After 3years and 3months TTC, I feel like I haven't got any positivity left. How do I get it back? I feel like I'm not me anymore.

I felt like that hun. I had a huge meltdown at work last sept/oct & just wept & wept. I felt like I was literally losing myself to ttc. I saw my Gp & got myself referred for counselling - I'm sure it's not for everyone but it did help me to start to shift focus a little. I hadn't realised how much I was bottling up until that point. It really sucks.

I also just wanted to say that my sixth clomid round was my lucky one. Hope you find this is your month too. What is the next step if AF does arrive?
