Ahhh I was high 20s pre clomid too- just one test that came back at 26nmol/l but I ovulated later that cycle and it could have been 5dpo.

So I got my HCG levels back today. They went from 7884 on thursday to over 21000 yesterday. They say this is a good sign? I dont know much about this lol i do know I have a kidney stone, and i am not having a good time at all.

Good news re the HCG, sorry about the kidney stone. :hugs:

Well I got my progesterone levels back and they are my strongest yet
Hopefully it actually means something this month.

Brilliant news! :thumbup:

AFM, still no AF! 15DPO, CD28, no AF pains either!

Does Clomid lengthen a cycle? I am confused!!!

Love to all!! xxx

Ok, heres an update. My blood test came back negative. I spoke to my doctor who said that with the pcos it is very likelythatit's just messing up my results (sometimes with pcos hcg is hard to detect) and that she wants to test me again in a week and a half and also give me an ultra sound, to make sure. I'm happy with this plan,.asI would rather wait before I take anything to be on the safe side. So baby is stilla maybe

Heavenly - Clomid can absolutely lengthen your cycles. Mine went from 28 days to 33 days....

Fingers crossed... How long is your cycle now?

CAValleygirl · Feb 1, 2012

Heavenly... I'm on cd32 and still no AF or bfp... It can def lengthen cycles.

Hi ladies,
I'm on cd 19. I started with the OPKs around cd13 and never got my smiley face

I'm pretty bummed but still hoping that somehow I did ovulate. I have a Dr. appointment tomorrow to find out if/what happened. I hate the 2ww...

CAValleygirl · Feb 1, 2012

Owl35- do you ever get ovulation pains? I was getting smily faces a couple times, on cd 12 and cd 16... I stopped using opk's thinking I had already ovulated. However, in cd22, I had a bit of spotting and cramping that lasted a couple days. Considering I'm on cd 32 and still no AF, I really think the actual ovulation day was CD22.

Hm, I never thought I would ovulate that late because in my two previous clomid cycles I ovulated on cd15 (I think) and always got my smiley face the day before... I did have some cramping on cd17 this cycle - so maybe that was it? I guess I will find out tomorrow.
@CAValleygirl, did you get the smiley faces more than one time in a cycle? What time of day do you test with the OPKs? Are you using ClearBlueEasy?

Yes! I got them three times total on a clearblue easy. It was beyond frustrating. The only possibility is that because I have PCOS, my LH levels are already a bit higher? Although I don't get them all the time, in fact those were the only times I had ever seen it with a smiley face.

My guess is my body tried to ovulate a few times and never actually did, until I just stopped thinking about it cause I had assumed I had... And then BOOM ! Ovulation...

Our bodies really do whatever they want, don't they :laugh2:

So if you are on cd32 and still no AF, are you going to test soon?

CAValleygirl · Feb 1, 2012

Did this morning and bfn...technically I'm only 10dpo, but I just know I'm not pregnant. I feel too normal. Ha!

Helena

I'm sure everything will be fine hunny, Your still getting :bfp:

s?

Hevenly My cycle lengthened out a bit on clomid too, which for me was a great thing as before 25day cycles weren't uncommon. They are now a normal 28days.

CAVallyGirl Good luck hun :dust:

your not out till the :witch:

shows her ugly face

Owl35 luck hun, hopefully you just missed it. :dust:

Helena_ · Feb 1, 2012

I stopped testing, all of them are very very faint and I'm starting to think they aren't actual lines. The doctor seemed hopeful and just having a plan makes me feel less uneasy. If Gummy isn't in there, then fine, but at least I'm not going to chance it take provera right away. Can't bring myself to take my ticker off just yet, though.

trying hard · Feb 1, 2012

they may have been light but there was still a line there and you don't get a line for no reason no matter how much you want it.

:hugs:

Helena_ · Feb 1, 2012

thanks! The doctor really put me and ease when she laughed when I told her how late I was. I would hate the idea of missing a month of ttc, but ultimately it's the best idea. I don't have many symptoms (little things, but I want the morning sickness to put me at ease).

CheerCoach · Feb 2, 2012

everyone...I've been stalking this thread for a few weeks now and guess I should finally introduce myself

I'm Christey...currently TTC my 4th and final baby. I have 2 older daughters (18 & 16) and a 9 month old daughter. My husband and I have been together almost 21 years and were content w/our 2 daughters when I suddenly fell pregnant in 09...that pregnancy was diagnosed ectopic for which I was treated with methotrexate. We TTC for 16 months after that before getting our :bfp:

. Our lil one was born 2 months premature but is healthy happy and doing perfect! My OB gave us the go ahead to TTC again when Mackenzie was 2 months.

This is our 7th cycle of TTC and 1st on clomid. I started clomid cd3 and am currently on cd 26 but feel like AF is on her way

I wasn't monitored so unsure if I ovulated. We're doing 3 cycles on 50mg unmonitored before doing further testing. I feel that if I start AF I will ask my ob to start monitoring w/blood draws and ultrasounds as the wait is driving me crazy.

I've loved reading the success stories and often cry for you ladies when the witch shows up.

So, here to tons of :bfp:

's all around!
