im cd 9 - first time on 50mg 2-6 ....so far i havent had any side effects - i look a bit bloated but i think its eating too many biscuits/chocolates left over from christmas ....xx

 

[zimmy]

Good luck and get busy Sarah! I have no idea how many dpo I am because I can't seem to get a + OPK, and my temps are....weird. I've never gotten a blank OPK, they just go light to dark to light to dark I can't take my temp the exact same time everyday because I have 2 puppies that get me up early sometimes to go out. We've still been BDing every other day or there abouts anyway, I'm on CD 21. If Im out this month I start 100mg for the next 3 months, then I'm out forever.

Do you use the bbt adjuster?

 

[zimmy]

What's a bbt adjuster?

 

[Helena_]

ah I love the bbt adjuster!! You put in the time you actually took your temp and then the time you normally take your temp. Then you put in what your temp was and it shows what it should of been

[zimmy]

Oh cool! Thanks, I'll try that

 

[Monalissa]

That bbt adjuster is cool! Maybe I'll actually try temping. Thanks for posting, Helena.

How is everyone doing?

Tomorrow is my HSG. I'm trying not to think about it because then I just feel super nervous, but I can't help it! I'll probably take a HPT in the morning before the test. Although I'm sure it's negative, I figure it might be a good precaution. AF was super light this month and my nipples are still sore for the past 2-3 weeks when I thought that would be gone by now, especially since AF has been over since Monday.

The HSG really wasn't bad at all, I was so scared and read all the horror stories you can find on the net, i would do it again anytime, i had more painful smears.
Plus you are apparently more fertile after an HSG as it sort of clears the way

 

[Helena_]

Good luck on your HSG!

 

[zimmy]

I got pregnant last year 9 days after my HSG - good luck!

 

[cbmd]

Great tip for but adjuster...never seen that before! I can never manage to take mine exactly same time. Good luck with your hsg...hope it goes well. Im on day 9 now...no real symptoms as yet x

Well had my first scan today, CD12, on first round of 50mg Clomid. And it's good news! There is a 18mm follicle, my FS was really pleased I am having no side effects and very pleased with the follicle, he said I don't need to come back next cycle for a scan as he can see the Clomid is working. We are to abstain from sex for the next 24-48 hours then continue.

So, it has really cheered me up as I am 46 tomorrow and I am glad that my insides still have a bit of life still in them!!

Great news! Hope this is it!!!! Why did docs ask you to abstain? What kinda bd pattern did he/she suggest? Hubby and I have decided to do it tues might, sat am, then tues (cd13), wed (cd14), thurs (cd15)... I usually get a dark opk on 13 or 14 so that's my plan.

I had the scan on CD12 and had one 18mm follicle and a couple of other smaller ones, he said to abstain for 24 hours after the scan as to minimise the risk of triplets! I had a peak on CD13 & CD14. We had sex on CD7-12, abstained on CD13, then carried on and will carry on until OH goes to Scotland on Monday. I have had pains in my ovaries, so just really pleased the Clomid has worked for me, without any side effects so far!

 

[trying hard]

Heavenly. I so would have baby danced any way then oops twins Triplets would be a hand-full but so worth it hehehe instant family!!!!!!!

 

[trying hard]

Yikes!!! just got my blood work results and it doesn't look great at all e2 was only 262nmol/L So I have to go and get another test done on monday to see if it gets any better but now I feel awful! Last month my levels were over 1000 and the month before that was 690 ish. Hopefully it was just too early and I haven't peaked yet but I was expecting more than that! Nurse said that it MAY turn out to be ok and should test again to be sure. Does any body know how much your levels are likely to raise each day? The test was only done 2 days early.

CRAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only CD 10 yet and it seems hope has gone.

 

[trying hard]

GGGRRRRRRR stupid body!!!!!

 

[mk8]

Erm, what's e2? I've only had fsh, progesterone and lh tested.

 

[trying hard]

estrogen or estrodiol.... basically tells you how many folicals are ready.

 

[mk8]

Oh I see. I have never actually been tested on that. Only fsh and lh and progrsterone. Hmmm

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get a prescription for clomid next week, but I've started to worry that it not be the right treatment for me and I might have to wait longer. (I can't wait any longer!!)

Wondered if any of you were denied Clomid or had any problems due to a low BMI?
Mine is 19ish and I'm worried that the GYN with tell me to go away and gain some weight.

I have unexplained ammenorhea, but I am starting to think that it has come about due to a having a BMI of 16/17 up until a few years ago.

Would love to hear if anyone has a similar experience?

 

[Euronova]

i have no idea about BMi and ammenorhea but 19 is really not that bad, I am naturally a BMI of 20 and really even 18.5 is considered healthy.
OF course 16 seems a bit on the overly thin side but hopefully now that you are at a healthier 19 you should be fine.
