clomid club

[Monalissa]

Today is CD 12 and I got my LH surge this morning, 5 days after my last clomid. I've been testing since Friday night. We started BD'ing Thursday night and were going to every other day until I got my surge. I wasn't feeling well yesterday so we missed a day. Should we try to BD tomorrow morning before work (in addition to today of course!!)? Otherwise my hubby is not home until 9:00 pm tomorrow night and I worry that it will be too late. I hate analyzing everything so much.

On another note my OBGYN wants me to go for a U/S the day after I get my surge, which of course I had no way of knowing that would be tomorrow. It's going to be tough explaining to my job why I have to leave for a while. Sigh.

Tell your work you have a female issue and you have to go to the doctor right away.

 

[Monalissa]

Thanks, that's probably what I will do. It just stinks because normally I have the mornings free but I agreed to work my co-worker's shift tomorrow. Crappy timing!

Ok so besides the weird symptoms I have been having, today I started having a yellow tinted cm I am like four to six days before AF and I have NEVER gotten cm after ovulation before, i am usually dry. Also feels like someone is stabbing me in the breast (tmi I know) I know these are AF signs for some people but like I said I have never had these symptoms. I guess I could be wishful thinking, I am trying not to freak out and hope i get a bfp. We have been trying for over a year and this is my second cycle of clomid. Any suggestions?

I've heard the yellow cm could be a sign of pregnancy. My symptoms on clomid are different every time. I've gotten the stabbing feelings in my breasts for the last 2 rounds. I hope you are prgnant!!!

Me too, but i have started getting twinges and cramp like feelings so probably a BFN. Just weird symptoms all around. Thanks for the well wishes.

Ttcreed I've also noticed a yellow tinge to my cm this mnth it's also quite thick sorry tmi let's hope this is a good sign fx xx

I just got back from my ultrasound CD 13 (the day after my LH surge) after 50 mgs of Clomid CD 3-7. I have a bunch of follicles on my left side, which I kind of expected since I've been cramping there for a couple of days. However, the two largest are around 1.4 cm (14 mm) and she said it should be around 2 cm (20 mm) for the egg to burst through. Does this sound about right?

I won't speak to the doctor for a couple of days, which sucks because I don't really understand if this means we're out or not. We'll keep BD every other day for the next week or so just in case, but I am super heartbroken right now.

I wouldnt get your hopes up, you never know what is going to happen. They could be bigger because sometimes people make mistakes. Just keep your head up and it if its not your month, its not your month. when its time, it will happen. Sending lots of baby dust! Anna

I get yellow CM every time I ovulate. It is because of the corpus luteum (or whatever the second word is) creating progesterone. It can be a sign of pregnancy, but it is also a sign that ovulation has occurred. xx

 

[Monalissa]

Thanks, ttcreed. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I don't want to completely give up hope either. Maybe I'll ovulate a day or two later than expected and by then they will be large enough, or maybe I need more clomid. The aches and pains are getting to me - it's hard not to feel like something positive is going on in there. I usually don't have them like this.

Baby dust to you too!

I had never felt O pain until this cycle. Then all the weird symptoms started about a week ago (IE: breast stabbing pain, yellow cm, exhausted) All which could be AF signs. Thanks for the baby dust, we will see. If not we will keep trying.

 

[Monalissa]

Fingers crossed for you, ttcreed!

How is everyone doing today?

My O pains are less, more like a dull ache and kind of sore. I think I am so disheartened about this because my doc said I just needed a little boost since I already do ovulate. I didn't expect I would get pregnant this cycle (although I hoped!!), but I did expect the clomid would work.

Does anyone else NOT know why they aren't ovulating properly? As I mentioned in another thread, I have no symptoms of PCOS and everything always checks out fine at my yearly exams. AF came 26 days after stopping BC in May, and has come every 23-26 days since. My yearly physical blood work always comes back great including my thyroid stuff (most recent was in May). I just don't get it.

I have no idea why your not ovulating properly, i know there are things other than pcos that could stop ovulation. Today has been a weird day, got really nauseas until i ate now its nap time (I take naps every day) cant test for two more days, but knowing our luck its a BFN. It will happen. I hope you get the answers your looking for!

Oh yes, of course! I wasn't asking if anyone could tell me why I wasn't ovulating properly. I was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me and doesn't know why.

Enjoy your nap (LOVE naps!). Testing in a couple of days is exciting! Luck may be on your side!

Monalisa have you had a set of blood tests same time same day for 5 weeks ??

No, I haven't heard of that kind of testing. I've had my progesterone levels tested only. Can you tell me more? I'd love to be able to spark further discussion with my OBGYN. Thanks!

 

[winston83]

I'm in the uk my fs had me go every monday at 9 am and have blood drawn we did this for 5 weeks so she could see what all my levels were doing through each week of my cycle this is the only way I found out I had pcos I have had 3 children without ever having fertility issues so it came as a shock to find out and I think if she hadn't done this method of testing I wouldn't have a clue why I have been unable to conceive x

Thanks, I understand now! I don't know how much testing my OBGYN will do, but if we try one more cycle with clomid and it doesn't work, we'll have to think about seeing a specialist. In retrospect, did you have any symptoms of PCOS?
