Clomid club - before, during and after

[lisaf]

ooh, I did forget to share that I've lost a bit of weight... down 20lbs total now from where I was a year ago. I was happy to see I dropped below a particular big scary number on the scale

 

[keepsmiling]

well dun lisa,, thats gr88, xx

 

[lisaf]

yeah, I told DH what I weighed in at... and his first question was if I weighed myself more than once. I wanted to smack him! Yes, our scale has fluctuated a little, which I totally forgot when I weighed myself so I didn't do a double-check. But he totally burst my bubble by pointing that out and not just being happy for me.

any of you ladies us a cleablue fert mon? I just had one given to me, which I should get in about 2 weeks and was wondering what people thought of it? Can I just do that and not temp etc?

 

[lisaf]

I think the CBFM sort of replaces OPKs... I don't know if it identifies your ovulation etc.
I get such great positives on my OPKs that I decided the monitor would just be a waste of money for me.
And its not even a one-time purchase as you have to keep buying sticks for it, almost the same cost as OPKS (or more than I spend on my IC OPKs).

Thats just me though, if someone gave me one, I'd totally use it for a month and see what I thought. If its used you have to reset it somehow, or so I've heard.

I just got a BFP and confirmed with a blood test!
Super early but I got a 7 on a beta test this morning after a faint line on a 10miu test. Still nervous and don't want to change my status yet.

ladys whooopppp lisa afm i got a + opk this morning whooppp cd 14 xxxxx

 

[ttcbaby117]

congrats lisa!!! Give me some symptoms here! I love symptom spotting!

 

[lisaf]

Lol, ummmmm, nothing really?
I've had some AF-like cramping. A touch of moodiness, but that could have been just me.
I did almost throw up this morning to the point of gagging multiple times and watering mouth... but I'm kind of sensitive to some things anyway so I can't say it was pregnancy-related, lol. (I was waiting in line for the toilet, and when my turn came, I couldn't remember the girl who came out going in... making me think she was in there for a while going poo... and I started gagging just at that thought, nothing smelled or anything )
My boobs are barely sore, I've felt WAY more pregnant on other cycles
Off course I'm only 11dpo today!!
20miu test had a hint of a line today.
Blood test result was 35!!!! Looking very good according to my doc. Will get another blood test next week.

 

[ttcbaby117]

Lisa - LOL that is hilarious about the bathroom! Are you on the progesterone suppositories?

 

[lisaf]

yeah, they put me on the suppositories to be safe.
I've been gagging on my vitamins in the morning. Not that I don't occasionally gag while swallowing them, but its getting MUCH worse. The feel of the pill under my tongue or on it near the roof of my mouth is setting me off with EACH pill....
I mean I'm glad I'm getting some kind of symptom here, lol... but since I'm so sensitive anyway (I once puked because I heard/saw the dog puke!) its hard to take it as a real sign and not just in my head.

 

[keepsmiling]

Well ladies iv finally got my clomid yay xx

thats amazing on the blood test...interesting to see how many are in there.
did you have any change in cm with your bfp? sorry if tmi, just curious as so many women report they do and some dont, seems conflicting info at times
hope the rest of us girls arent too far behind you

 

[lisaf]

I haven't checked my CM much. Just been checking the paper for spotting (none thankgoodness!). I think its still creamy? I may have gotten a touch of snotty stuff the other day?
It wasn't that noticably different from my other cycles though I think that maybe it just feels wetter down there... as if AF has started. Not sure if I noticed that before.
I have almost no symptoms though...
Just a heavy feeling like AF was going to come even though it was way too early. Lots more cramping but that may have just been the clomid.....
boobs are barely sore etc.
