I'm sorry TryinFor1. I'm on round 6 and getting impatient! It isn't over til the witch shows! FX'd for you!

Hey ladies, as of the last couple of days I have had REALLY tender and sore boobs and nipples. When I say REALLY sore, I mean sore to have a bra on and can't even hug hubby as they're that tender. I am 7DPO at the moment. I have never had this before, anyone experienced this and/or know what this could mean?

Mine were very sore this time (never before on clomid though) and bfn. I hope this is a Christmas BFP for you!!!

Thanks lovely. I woke up this morning and I was still hurting but not as much. As the day has progressed, they have started to hurt like hell again come this evening. Fingers crossed this means something good

Tryinfor1 - sorry to hear that, fingers crossed it's just a rubbish test and shows the BFP soon xx

Hi Ladies,
I have been following you for a couple weeks because I knew I would be beginning clomid soon. I have FX'd for you all. You have given me a ton of hope.

AF came today so I will be starting clomid.
This is round 1,
any hints, tips, random suggestions?

Erm - hot flushes! I get them so bad at the start, I would take it after eating as it made me feel ill if I didn't..

Good luck

Fingers crossed for you, my boobs hurt like hell on clomid in the TWW (no idea why) both cycles, but I hope this is your

Thanks Damita, I never had this in first cycle. I think I may have had slight twinges here and there as come to think of it I dont remember having any soreness in my boobs at all. The only thing I got last cycle was an achey ovary around ovulation which I have ha this cycle too. The 2ww is killing me this cycle!

Well ladies I think I need to take a break. Therefore, I am popping off from here for two weeks...I will be back around the week of Dex.5 or 12th.

AF showed today. CD1 and third round of clomid.

Sorry Tryin! 3rd time lucky - this is your month!! Have a nice glass of wine tonight and think positive thoughts

I have a question for those who know more abour Clomid than me (which is most everyone, lol). I'm on my first cycle of Clomid, 50mg taken days 2-6. I am unexplained secondary infertility, and I'm pretty sure I ovulate each month (I have had tons of testing done, bloods, HSG, Lap &Dye) and my Doctor has never mentioned a problem with ovulation. My DH had a 'perfect' SA done as well.

My question is: Is it possible to ovulate more than once per cycle on Clomid? Around CD14/15 of my 27/28 day cycle I had some abdominal cramps, upset tummy, ovary twinges. Now at CD21 I seem to be experiencing the same thing....? DH and I have BD'd every other day since CD8 - fingers and toes and eyes crossed!!!

 

[TryinFor1]

It is possible to ovulate more than once a cycle but SERIOUSLY rare. are you sure you ovulated when you thought you did the first time? Maybe it is implantation cramps? Fingers crossed for you!!

Either way, if you BD you are gonna be fine! Just keep dtd!

 

[zimmy]

No, I'm not sure I ovulated the first time, or even this time, lol! I don't chart (I tried to temp, but have 2 puppies so I'm up letting them out at odd hours so could never get a good reading). I'm just a little nervous as my Doctor gave me the prescription, but is not monitoring me at all, he just said "call me when you get pregnant or after 6 months".

How are you feeling? Is AF particularly bad when on Clomid? Thanks for replying so quickly

 

[RM_Wife]

Sorry AF showed herself TF1! fingers crossed this month is your month

Feeling alright. A wee gutted because I was a day late and so I just was certain. Lol. But no such luck. Got my prescription for clomid for another cycle although not getting monitored this cycle. Hopefully December will bring a

And no, I found AF to be more light with Clomid. I was worried it had to do with clomid thinning your lining and maybe the lining was too light but I googled it and everything I looked at said it was ok, and the light period wasnt caused my a thin lining.

I dont have any cramps yet.. But I imagine they will start tomorrow. I dont think those were any worse than usual. I get crazy ass cramps when I am ovulating because of clomid though.

I have to call my DR for a new prescription every month. I am not surprised they are not going to make me come in for bloodwork this cycle. The 50 did GREAT for me. Made me ovulate for sure! I am worried about DH spermies but he refuses to get one. and there is nothing I can do about that. I cant force him. The DR seems to think that it is alright. and my OBGYN who gives me the clomid thinks its all fine and dandy as long as DH didnt do steroids in HS. That is kinda dumb they are not even doing bloodwork on you.. did they give you provera also in case the clomid doesnt work?

I do hope I ovulate on cd15 though. I ovulated cd15 from my left side my first clomid cycle and 17 my second. Lol. I just want to get back in my tww. And no problem for responding quickly. Unfortunetly, I dont have a life. So I spend most of it studying, going to class, watching tv, and checking BnB. Sad, I know. Lol.

Thanks!! Me too.

Well glad that AF isn't a killer for you, that's just like a kick when you're down! I've heard lots of positive things about the 3rd cycle of Clomid, but I know it's hard not to feel gutted every month after you get your hopes up Is your DH healthy otherwise? I had a hard time getting mine in for the SA, but since he had a vasectomy reversal years ago it was the logical first step.

Not really sure what my body is up to now, but my cramps have gone and I'm back to lots of watery cm...??? Not sure if that's a Clomid thing - if it was last week I would have thought it was O, but at CD21 watery cm is a little weird. Crap, and I have been trying so hard not to symptom spot

He is slightly overweight, but only by a few pounds. Barely any. He has high blood pressure too but he is trying to lose about 30 pounds so that will go down. He stopped smoking and takes a multi every day. He is doing a few things to help out but a SA is just not going to be one of them. I am worried that the DR is going to stop giving me clomid if DH doesnt get a SA though. Then I dont know if I will actually ovulate on my own if I dont have clomid, I have never tried before. Lol. And yeah, that would seem the first step. I dont think men like to think they could potentially be the problem.

I dont wanna be a debbie downer, but try not to pay too much attention to the symptoms on Clomid. SO MANY symptoms mimic pregnancy and it is solely based on the clomid increasing progesterone and stuff like that. ALTHOUGH the watery CM is one I havent heard of before. So fingers crossed it is a symptom! When are you testing?

 

[zimmy]

Sounds like your DH is doing the right things, that's good. Why does he not want to go for a S/A? We live close to the hospital, so my DH just came home for lunch one day, did the deed, then dropped it off at the lab on his way back to work, lol

Your absolutely right about not symptom-spotting, thanks! Clomid does give a lot of little side effects that mimic pregnancy. There's really no way of knowing until I test. I'm due for AF this Sunday, but will test Saturday morning as DH's work Christmas Party is Sat night, and if I'm out of the race I'm gonna have some wine!

Just saw your earlier post - no, I wasn't given Provera, what is it? I was given 6 month prescription for clomid (3 months at 50mg, and 3 months at 100mg).

Provera is a drug that is taken to induce your period. After I stopped birth control, I didnt get af in forever and had to take it to get a period and stop clomid. My DR thinks it was because I am too much underweight to get a period so I have to force one. I dont think that is right, but whatever. He is the DR. lol.

GAH, I hate to tell women to not symptom spot though. But with clomid it is just so hard to and you get your hopes up, and then AF shows, and its like WTF. Lol. SO I just tell people to lay low, cause the symptoms are crazy similar.

He doesnt want to go for a SA because of our age and our ttc "status". WELL, his ttc status.. See.. he thinks we are more ntnp.. and I am more actively trying. Lol. he wants a child but he is perfectly happy with the it will happen when it does and I am more like it needs to happen NOW, lol. He is also only 24, and I am 20. So he doesnt think there could be that much of a problem with his swimmers.

He told me the other day that he thought his HS girlfriend might have stopped taking her birth control to try to get pregnant and never did. It just freaks me out, what if she really did and the reason she didnt was because something was wrong with his sperm!?!?!?! Just freaks me out.

 

[zimmy]

Oh, my DH is the same way - more ntnp! But for different reasons, he has 3 kids from his first marriage so he would be ok with us not having one

I usually get AF on a regular basis, a couple of days off on one side or the other but it always shows - boo. Probably why my Dr. didn't prescribe provera.

Try not to worry about your husband's swimmers! There could be a million other reasons his HS girl didn't get pregnant. Especially at that age when I'm sure she wasn't tracking her cycle, etc. the window is just so small! At 20 and 24 you've got good odds I'd say! How long have you been TTC?
