SNL said HPT's, i asked that too.

Have been tricked by lines on opk's before.

myphyemma and Darkest I believe they are because the package says "Fertility Test" and the OPK ones says LH Ovulation Test. Here is a photo of the package:

Fertility tests measure your FSH levels.... I have some from first response, so I wouldnt use them to to determine if you are pregnant or to tell if you are ovulating, that isnt what they are for... FSH levels indicate your ovarian reserve and if it is normal or not and you are only supposed to use them on like CD3 (the beginning of your cycle) Do you have the instructions for the "fertility tests" to find out how you should be using them... I hope this is helpful...

Well if that is the case then....I AM OUT

So when I did take the First Response HPT it was a

Well thanks for the update then...will have hope for the next cycle...I am sure the fs will push for the IUI when it comes for sure.

Thanks again for your help. Now its time for me to find that place again...Giving it to God and I am moving on now...

Hey girls, I have a question to ask.

If your mucus dried up after using clomid what did you take\do to increase it again? I know drinking lots of fluid helps as well as grapefruit juice. I'm not after any meds or supplements this cycle so any "natural" suggestions would really be appreciated

Anyone else exhausted and foggy headed taking clomid? I've only had 1 dose (yesterday) and am due to take todays dose as soon as I eat. I've also had a sore throat the last few days, so maybe my exhaustion means I'm just getting sick? Ugh, I hope this doesn't last the whole time I'm taking it...I don't know how I would get anything done a work.

 

[CandiFloss]

I felt exhausted and dizzy after my first dose, but it got better afterwards. By day 3 I started having hot flushes and palpitations at night... I was on 50mg...
Not pleasant but actually it is quite bearable if it means it's working!!

 

[scoobydrlp]

I'm on 50mg also. Took my second dose about an hour ago, we'll see how I feel tomorrow I guess. It's bearable, but I have a pretty physical job and dizziness is not ideal.

 

[cj72]

Scooby- excedrin will knock out any headache if you get one. Try taking your clomid before bed. It gets better next cycle.

Just took my third clomid pill and all you ladies are right, the dizzyness does go away after the first night. Thank goodness, if there's one thing I can't stand it's a spinny head. I think that's why I'm such a terrible drinking buddy. I'm going to try to schedule my u/s for Friday, at the very end of the day if I can. I'm trying not to take too much time off work for all this IF stuff, but it's hard! So many appointments and not enough time in the day! How are you all juggling all the appointments and work?

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody. Fingers crossed and baby dust to all!

 

[scoobydrlp]

I have a semi-flexible schedule at work...I get one weekday off per week and as long as I can schedule appts about 2 weeks ahead of time I'm able to just ask for that particular day to be my day off. Also my doctors office is only about 5 minutes from where I work, so I schedule labwork to be done on my lunch hour.

Super glad to hear your dizziness was so short lived, I hope mine is the same!

 

[Amandamb1108]

Im very excited to be starting clomid again today!
after over a year of ttc #2 i convinced my doctor to start me on clomid
I took it febuary & march @ 50mg and then 100mg in april and got pregnant but lost him at 10wks due to triploid syndrome. now im on cycle 4 since the miscarriage and very excited to start back on clomid, i don't even care about the side effects, anything to make a baby!

Hi Chels, I am lucky to work part-time so it's not too hard to fit in the appt, although I do find it takes a lot of time and energy (esp. mental energy worrying about the results all the time)
I am glad now most of my big tests are done, but already thinking of my next progesterone next week! I really hope I've ovulated this cycle!!!
Feeling a bit depressed today, i am prob about 4 DPO and i know it's pretty normal if i don't have symptoms yet but i really don't feel like anything is happening today and it makes me feel really in despair. Now I guess mood swing can be a symptom lol.....
Just so desperate for this to work, we have been so consistent with the BDing.... anyway.... we shall see

Hi - I am new on here

I wonder if anyone can shed a bit of light on this for me....I had a Hycosy procedure done on thursday last week (CD14) my tubes are both ok and not blocked, however the sonographer said that the follicles on both my ovaries were small for Day 14.

I have since had +OPKs on days 16, 17 (as last month). I am taking clomid and am unsure as to whether it is working for me properly - can you ovulate when you have small follicles? I was under the impression this was not the case? If so why the LH surge on OPKS? So confusing....

I suffer with PCOS and have been TTC for 13 months now. This is my 3rd round of clomid.

Any info would be much appreciated.

 

[Asryellah]

Angel, I can't remember the exact sizes for follicles when they pop out, but I think it was around 20mm. And if too small then they are not mature enough. Maybe this cycle you had the scan they just weren't grown and you'll ovulate later on cycle, or have you had + on a opk already? Ovulation can always delay on stress etc. So hopefully they'll keep on growing

I use grapefruit juice and pre-seed!!! You needed natural but have to give total thumbs up for pre-seed
and it's sperm friendly, and some believe they've had bfp's cos their own mucus is too hostile, but inserting pre-seed has given spermies a nicer place to travel and not killing them instantly.

 

[angel15]

I have jst had positive opks 3 days after my scan that showed follicles were too small . I think this month is probably not our month... Might take the pressure off a bit and can be ready for next cycle with positive outlook. Thanks for replying x

 

[scoobydrlp]

Day 3 of Clomid...I'm still exhausted and in a total daze. But I've also been sneezing all day and have a stuffy nose and head. Maybe it's just allergies/sickness causing everything. Whatever it is, hope it's gone by tomorrow morning, back to work for me!
