***TMI WARNING***
CJSG, my period was ULTRA heavy this cycle too! Today's CD1 and it's like 2 days' worth of period in my pre-Clomid days! And it's clotty too, I think I even saw pieces of my uterus lining! Strangely though, AF totally caught me unaware this time. No cramps at all. Definitely abnormal, gonna check with my gynae when I see her for CD12 scan.

Could Clomid be causing this?

i love seeing the positive line on the opk! have fun!

i am on cd 9. clomid day 5. is it normal to have a lot of cm?? this morning it was almost like when i am about to ovulate.
i have felt twangs on my left and right sides, but i know this is way too soon to ovulate.


any experiences you gals can share? this is my first clomid cycle, and we believe that i o normally. we are doing this to improve quality because i am 41. thanks!

 

[sadie]

Kazza I am cd2 today as af came on a lot last night and today HEAVY and terrible period pains. Temps has gone down to 97.7. Bang on norm for pre ov / af.

Anxiously I am so sorry sweety Damn witch. Us 3 are all one day behind the other. So we'll be together again.

Snl that is wonderful news, I hope this month works though and you get to spend it on baby stuff not a baby. x

Laura you need to keep opk'ing as your surge could be long. OV can happen as late as 48 hours after the last positive opk. And the cramping is because your ovaries are over stimulated and will produce more than norm follicles. The pain could likely be the egg getting ready to take its leap. I had terrible pains for 5 days! I cried A LOT.

As I mentioned af came like a brute yesterday afternoon and today is cruelly heavy so I start clomid tonight at 9pm.

good luck with the clomid! you always have such great advice and a lot of knowledge to share with everyone here, so thanks for that!!

 

[CJSG1977]

Anxiously that is the exact same experience as you. I have had a lot of clots and its a lot heavier! I have been in blinding agony all day. I feel I wanna throw up its that bad. I had no cramps yesterday, they started today

Sadie Thank you! I can only share what I know and what I have heard sweety, I just hope it helps someone. All the symptoms you are describing were the norm for me on my first clomid cycle. I was told cm might dry up but I was the reverse and then some! As for the cramping I had that for over a week and everyday they got worse till I sat crying. I hope it doesnt get that painful for you. Test with your opks for 3 more days and see how long your surge lasts. Good luck hun and get on with some xx

 

[caz & bob]

anxiously my af was like that hun with clots and string things in it think its normal its just your lining coming away mine is ok now x x x

[cranberry987]

I had a VERY clotty period after my first cycle of clomid, one clot was the size of a jelly baby. totally freaked me out! I reckoned it was good to have a clear out tho

 

[Anxiously]

Thanks ladies, certainly feels reassuring that my bloody experience is shared by some of you

Anyone's done a HSG? I've heard some who said it was a painful experience, and then some who felt nothing.

My doc also recommended a laparoscopy, which will give more insights on my reproductive system. But I thought I'll take the less invasive route of HSG first, and if Clomid/IUI round 2 fails again, I'll go for the lap.

Oh well, if this round is successful, there goes my Russian holiday in Sep. Happy problem though.

 

[caz & bob]

me no its not hun all you get is like period cramps nothing to worry about they put a catheter in you and squirt the dye in x x x

 

[mrphyemma]

Anxiously I have had two HSG's, the first one failed as the Dr who performed it was completely incompetent, she couldn't get the tube through my cervix properly and was very rough, she manhandled me for almost an hour and then said she had to leave it. I was traumatised and very sore. I bled badly for a day or two. So when I went for a repeat performance I was terrified. Second time was at a different hospital with a nurse and it was over in seconds, hardly felt a thing, just a little pressure in the uterus when the dye went through. I think that is how it usually goes so don't let my horror story put you off! I thought it was fascinating watching the screen as the dye lit up my uterus and my right tube. Sadly the dye didn't get through my left tube which means it is more than likely blocked.

 

[caz & bob]

when u testing emma x x x

 

[mrphyemma]

I've sworn not to test until Friday now Caz as I was stupidly silly and tested far too early and the BFN's depressed me. So Friday it is then (14dpo) I will have a definite BFN/BFP then and not be kept in suspense

 

[Anxiously]

Hey emma, how was your left blocked tube treated then?
