What's the great sperm race?

 

[cj72]

It makes you feel like it will never happen, Tryin, but for me it did twice. My sister has PCOS and only one tube and she got pregnant! It will happen!

 

[Euronova]

My sister gets pregnant with ONE unprotected intercourse and she called me the other day thinking she had heard about something that would revolutionize our TTC efforts (she doesn't know yet I am pregnant) - she told me with so much excitement: keep your legs up! Lol
I had to laugh, I did the legs up, the cycling everything.
This said if you watched the sperm race you def don't want to loose any swimmers!

A video on youtube. Dont watch it. It is discouraging. Seriously.

hello all...
I have been reading TTC threads for over a year now and have finally given in and decided to just jump in and give it a go...So Hi!!

My story TTC#2 for 2 years (I'm 26 DH 31) and always BFN. Unexplained after all the normal tests with a borderline thyroid results and DH SA is also borderline but not low enough for public funding. Basicly the said to come back in another 3 years!

I have just been prescribed clomid from F+ and just started the 2ww before i can start (or hopefully not) and wanted to get to know some others in the same boat.

 

[cj72]

trying hard- give the hubby fertilaid from the early pregnancy tests.com and helps with numbers and motility. Good luck girl! Also try interuterine insemination (IUI). Helps with getting more of the swimmers past the 1st stage of the game.

ok girls, Fertiliy Friend is annoying me- it's trying to say I O'd on CD13 and there's no temp spike...so opinions please? I think I O'd on CD14 cause there's the temp spike right after.

I'm finding that FF is causing me more stress than anything else. I recorded my temp and CM today and now it's telling me that it can no longer confirm that I O'd. I'm not even clear on why there was this change.

CJ- your chart says cd14.

Deanie- do you have your chart for us to see?

 

[PineappleRock]

I am so glad I kept doing OPKs even after my EWCM was gone and I got a temp rise. Turns out I hadn't ovulated yet and I would've missed it. Luckily we were able to BD a few more times so I think we had excellent timing and have a really good chance this cycle. Hopefully tomorrow will start my 2ww!!!

This was my 4th cycle of Clomid. I have taken it 2-6, 3-7 (twice) and this cycle 1-5. All 4 times I have ovulated on CD17. I thought for sure I would ovulate earlier this month since I started it so early. Next cycle I am going to take it 5-9 if I don't get my BFP, as I've heard it is for a better quality egg.

Good luck everyone! Is anyone else just starting their 2ww?

I forced it to say CD14- At first it said CD15 ( which I know was wrong) then it switched to CD13, (wrong) so I made it say CD14. I won't give me a baseline either, so I did it. I haven't ever had so much trouble with it!

I'm 7 Dpo today and will start testing Friday with my IC's

fx'd CJ72!! This whole month has felt like the longest 2ww so far! I'm only now on CD9, DH and I BD last night for the first time this cycle, and will continue every other day. I'm worried about not knowing when I ovulate though, my Dr. told me not to chart while on Clomid as temps may be off etc. I've heard a lot of girls say they 'felt' ovulation on Clomid - hoping I do too. I've also read that most women ovulate 5 to 10 days after their last pill. I started BDing 3 days after the last pill just in case, what do you think the chances are that I missed the window already?

I can't answer your Qs definitely, but I'm on the Clomid bus too. Today is cd9 and I am taking it cd5-9 so today's my last pill. We bd'd this morning and will hopefully again tomorrow, then not again until cd13 when dh returns (which may/may not be too late!).

I'm not sure about the window as I've read Clomid makes some women O sooner than usual and some later. I usually O around cd10 and today I have watery cm, which I don't really get but this could be the Clomid at work. I had a very faint 2nd line on my cd8 opk so I'm thinking ovulation may be at exactly the same time for me, Clomid or not.

 

[mrphyemma]

Very slim chances you missed it already zimmy. A lot (but not all) of the clomid ladies do feel some pain around O time. Are you checking your cm? any ewcm yet? Usually a good indication that O will be happening soon too. x

 

[zimmy]

No ewcm yet, but will keep checking. Thanks for replying! Feeling a bit off today, tummy a lil sore and a bit of diarrhea (sorry TMI). Could be side effect of Clomid, could just be me...

I'm not really sure of how I would do that. Any suggestions?

 

[TryinFor1]

You can just copy and paste the chart link in a post so we can click on it and see it.

 

[cj72]

O is usually no sooner than 5 days after your last pill. Mine is 3-7 and cd 12-13 for O, generally. This is my 5th mo on clomid and I barely felt it this time, but the other times, it felt like I really needed to pee really bad and havd been holding it the last 2 hours of a car trip - like an extremely full bladder, then nothing.

 

[TryinFor1]

Mine is 3-7 too and I ovulate on cd15 from my left side and cd17 from my right side.

 

[trying hard]

maybe a silly question but why are we all told to take our clomid on different days? I've been told to start on day 2 but that seems really early compared to others.
