Hi ladies, I hope all is good for everyone!!!! Well im offically on count down for my hubby to come home from Iraq on Feburary 2 YEA!!!!! Well anyway Im on my first cycle 3-7 of 100mg and I took my last pill on sunday the 15th and now on CD14 and have been testing everyday since the last pill and I havent got any +opks yet I'm wondering should I be testing more than once a day to make sure I'm not missing it? cause I have only been testing in the morning at the same time 8am and nothing yet, Or am I just just getting worried over nothing and it may still be to early? I guess I'm just worried that its not working!!!! and is there a certain brand of OPKs to use that are better? I have been using the first response one.

 

[Euronova]

Hya, I thought you should not use OpK in the morning and only mid to late afternoon. Well that was what the brand of opk I had said!

 

[momwannabe81]

Unless u work nights then u should test in the afternoon as lh takes time to build up after u get up. They say to test anytime after 11. I work nights so i would test around 9-10 am and around 4-5ish pm

hi wifey- you must be so excited to see your hubby! i took opk's this cycle (my first clomid cycle) in the late morning and then again in the late afternoon. i ov'd cd16 and i tested in the morning and - and then in the afternoon and it was +. then when i tested the next morning and it was - again! before clomid i had a 3 day surge but if i hadn't tested 2x a day this cycle i would have missed my +

as for me i am 17dpo and i had a temp drop this morning. its above the coverline and i know i'm now out until af but i'm having trouble keeping my hopes up. this is my first cycle on clomid, like i said above, and before meds my lp was 11-13 days but i didn't ov until cd 21-25... i have read on here that some ladies take something because of a long lp on clomid so do you think i should call my doc? i need some advice...
thanks ladies!

Have you tested yet? You should get a positive by now

 

[zimmy]

CD25 today, don't know what DPO because my OPK's were not really working for me. No real symptoms here, except for REALLY sore nipples. Expecting AF Thursday, if I don't get it then I'll test

 

[Turtlemad]

Zimmy - u have a lot of will power I know I'm
Going to cave and test early!! Lol, no will power wat so ever!
I'm not holding out too much hope this month, bought 4mths of cbfm sticks yesterday in anticipation (mainly cause they were on special- hopefully won't need all 4mths!!)

Danswifey! Exciting times for you! That's only 2weeks away! I think u should defo try twice a day with the opk.

Mrsjennyg, u should try testing. Wat length r ur cycles normally?

Hello ladies! I'm so glad to have found this site! Sorry to see so many going through all of this, but glad I'm not alone! I am 35 and ttc #2. My son is almost 6 yrs old and we have been ttc for almost 5 yrs now! I tried clomid about 3 yrs ago and on the second mnth got a BFP, but we lost it very soon after that. Had a lap for severe endo last year and 3 mnths on Lupron after that. Now we are going for our last big try. Starting with clomid 50mg, day 3-7. Right now I am on cd1 so here begins the ups and downs, slow days, calandar watching, peeing on sticks fun of ttc on clomid! Let the games begin! Good luck to everyone!!

hi I tested on Fri, Sat and Sun (14,15, 16dpo) all BFN. I won't test again until Wed if I do not get AF. I had 2 drops of dark pink on the tp only on 10dpo that I was hoping was IB. this is my first clomid cycle and prior I had anywhere from 38-41 day cycles (with one 49 day). I didn't ov until cd21-25 and my lp was 11-14 days. this cycle I ov'd on cd16 (confirmed with opk and FF). I just don't know what to think!!

 

[Monalissa]

I'm sorry I haven't responded before now to say thank you for the well wishes for my HSG Friday. I took a little break in the hopes of occupying mind with some stuff other than TTC!

The good news is that my tubes are FINE! The test itself was uncomfortable, but not painful at all. The worst part was probably when the doc had trouble getting the balloon to stay in. My cervix opening was large at the time of the test, so it took a little extra work to get it to stay in. I didn't feel a thing when the dye went in. Now I'm waiting for a positive OPK and then we'll decide what's next - FS or not - unless I am lucky enough to get a BFP.

Lots and lots of !

 

[zimmy]

Ok, thought I had more willpower than I do. Bbs are getting sorer....gonna test in the morning. It will be CD26 - 2 days before AF........fingers crossed!

 

[kel21]

I would have tested already! At least twice! LOL Good luck!

 

[zimmy]

LOL! Thanks

hi ladies so im day 33 of my first clomid cycle, i just need a little help if poss,
i average a 24 day cycle i had scan day 13 and she said no ovulation try next month we last dtd 2 weeks ago today as i though i was going to come on.

( tmi warning)

i have woken up every morning thinking of i have come on as i feel really wet, but then i go to the loo and nothing, i have also had white discharge for the last week as well, but i did a test on saturday and it was negitive, so do you think clomid has just made me really late.

or do you think i just ovulated really late, i cant believe i want the witch to come so much, so i can take clomid again.

thaks for any advice

I have heard some other woman say that clomid does mess with their cycles. Some say they ovulate earlier or later, and that their cylcle goes longer or shorter. I've heard it said both ways. Not really an answer, but hope that helps!

I am a Clomid newbie (1st cycle) so can't really help but as said, have heard it can mess with your cycle. Keep us posted! x

You have pretty good willpower, only 2 days before AF!!

Fingers crossed for you!! xxx

 

[trying hard]

Good luck Zimmy.


Thinking of you hun

ok so af is due tomorrow but my cervix is higher than it was yesterday. It's usually really low the day before af. I'm also nauseous...like minutes away from throwing up. I know I'm not pregnant so I'm pretty pissed at my body for giving my a glimmer of hope for a second

 

[zimmy]

imogenwanted - my first Clomid cycle I went super late (33 or 34 days when I'm usually 27 or 28). The other symptoms sound promising though - when I got my BFP last year I was going to the loo constantly to check because it felt exactly like AF had started!

Thank you tryinhard! I'll let you know tomorrow :0

Good luck Helena - you're still in if AF hasn't shown!
