clomid club

Mk8- my fsh was 11.9 ...im 29 years old...but that blood was probably day 80 of a cycle...not sure I'd that makes any difference....?? Weird thing is I had blood taken,month before and they said everything was normal. From what I've read elevated fsh is a bad thing x

Ladies I really need your help, I apologise for TMI but I am feeling a little nauseated and I feel quite wet down there like I am going to start my AF. I am due on the 14th (I think) if clomid brings my cycles down to 28 days otherwise I have 45 day plus cycles.
I had a trigger shot on the 30th so 2 weeks is almost up; I really don't know what is going on and hoping you ladies can help. I tested this morning and nothing

 

[zimmy]

norahbattie - it could just be too early to test. Is this your first Clomid cycle?

I just took an OPK, and it is almost positive! I'm happy and nervous - want to try and BD for the next 3 nights, but hubby is in a hockey tournament and will be SO tired. Any suggestions? I'll do anything....coffee and porn? lol

 

[norahbattie]

no this is my second clomid cycle though the first doesn't really count. I rushed into it and had only streaky AF, my full AF came after 17 days and the follicle hadn't really grown either. SO I classify this as my "first" clomid cycle

Zimmy, I would recommend dressing up in different outfits, it works for my OH everytime and I do little roleplays, it spices things up since baby-making regime can become a regime rather than fun. Good luck with the BD and I hope it works for you this time.

I feel ur pain, i have had a surge for 5 days now and still no temp rise, i usually O on cd 13-14 and nothing yet.

I don't know what's worse, no surge or 5 days of a surge. I hope O happens soon for the both of us!

Zimmy, I understand because my DH has been home every night this week around 10 pm. Up until now we've been trying for every other day, but he's been exhausted (as am I by that time). Now we're going on 4 days with no BDing and will hopefully start up again tonight, just in case I actually O at some point. Coffee and porn sounds like a plan. Lots of baby dust to you!

 

[zimmy]

Thanks for the suggestions ladies!

norahbattie - nausea nad 'wetness' sound like good signs to me! Test again in a couple of days. Keep us updated

Positive opks are the best!! Hope it gets darker for you soon

how is everyone doing today? I got my pregnancy reading back from ruby and she said concieve month, find out month or due date/birth month in Jan. HOPE HOPE HOPE she's right! I finally have a good feeling about this month because my temp JUMPED up much more than it did last month so I'm hoping that's a good thing. I've been taking a higher dose of Metformin and taking b-100 this cycle so maybe that's helping. I hope clomid is all of our miracles pills....I really do...

As un romantic as it is honestly I don't think any man would say no to watching porn while doing his mrs. A trick I have had to use on a few occasions. Maybe you could get started while he is brushing his teeth and stuff... He will forget all about how tired he is teeheehe

 

[mk8]

zimmy- throw on the porn and dress up

helena- good luck to you! how come the docs put you on clomid and metformin?

so ladies, cycle 3 of clomid here i come. AF arrived for me today. Spotted yesterday so and got a BFN so knew the witch was flying in. Hubby and I are debating when to BD. ladies- what is your BD pattern?

 

[Helena_]

I wasn't ovulating on my own. I have PCOS so she made that combination. I was orginally meant to be taking 1500mg of Metformin but twice the pharmacy messed up and only gave me 500mg so I asked my doctor about it and she had them fix it.

Who is Ruby? I have read a few posts mentioning the name, I would love a prediction

 

[Monalissa]

mk8, our plan is usually every other day until a positive OPK. Then 3-4 days in a row.

So ladies, now I am completely confused. I am starting to spot like I do before AF comes and lots of cramps. It's cd 23 now. Which means I must have missed my surge or I didn't ovulate? I've been testing 2x per day since either the morning or evening of cd 10. I did have a couple of drinks on New Year's and then got sick with a bad head cold 2 days later. Can this mess up detecting your surge? Just trying to figure out what's happening here.

 

[mk8]

Helena- hope this drug combo works for you!

Mona- I think I'm going for more bd around o time too. We usually bd every other in the month but as in on clomid and will opk this month I'm going to ramp it up the day before, day of and day after positive opk. I usually get a positive on day 14.

Not sure about your opk situation- what brand are you using and is the urine perhaps too weak? Also, did you notice it get darker so almost positive and then lighter?

Ladies- have you found being on clomid makes you have cramps/more cramps pre af? I wonder if this is good or bad, I think I was ovulating before clomid but on days 15-18 and my cycle is 27 days so I ovulate slightly later than the quoted 14 days in a 28 day cycle.

 

[Monalissa]

I use the digi/smiley OPK's and test the same way I always do. It's weird because the spotting is not even the usual dark brown I get before AF, it's more red. Yea, I've been getting AF like cramps almost my entire cycle, much more than last month. Last month the pains I had around O time were different.

 

[Euronova]

Sounds good monalissa, I had cramping when I got my which CD are you?

 

[Monalissa]

I'm cd 23 but I'm pretty sure AF is coming. I never even detected my surge this month. Sigh....

Hey ladies, can I join your Clomid Club?

I am 46 on Tuesday (yikes!) and OH is 35, we have been TTC for 4 years. We are now seeing a private FS. My FS is 6.2 and OH has some abnormal form sperm but everything else is fine.

He has put me on 50mg Clomid for 4 cycles. I am having a scan with him on Monday (CD13) to see what is happening.

If nothing happens in 4 cycles, we will be looking at IVF/ICSI, probably with DE, because of my age.

Good luck to all you lovely ladies on Clomid. x

 

[mrphyemma]

[trying hard]
