clomid club

keepsmiling- I get far less than that. My 3 cycles where i had a proper positive- they were really good ones too- lots darker than the control line- but they only lasted a couple of hours!! They were negative a couple of hours before and after! My surge is so short it is very easy to miss it! But then some people get it for a whole day and some for about 5 days!!! Crazy!!

 

[babyloulou]

I guess I should not read anything into todays temp then after all your replies- didn't realise it would affect it enough to make it THAT high!! I guess I'll have to see what tomorrow brings!

 

[Rudeollie]

Hey Lou - Maybe your OH's been taking the FF course like my hubby did hahahah xxx

Hi Caz honey xxx Glad the bleeding is almost gone xxx

 

[babyloulou]

I think I'm just being too hopeful to be honest Ellen! I didn't even get a positive OPK for gods sake!

I have been having mild cramps in my cervix all morning today though- never had them before!

 

[caz & bob]

loulou what dpo are you hun x x x

 

[babyloulou]

I don't know Caz. I never got a positive opk- but I had ov pains on Monday night (after a nearly positive OPK on Saturday night)- OH was sure I ovulated on Monday as he thought the opk was positive. Temps have gone up yesterday and today (but had some wine last night so not sure if it's that) xx

Wait & Hope.....Welcome to the clomid club, I am about to start cycle 3 if my dman af will ever show up....

Britt - It is very quick and easy...these ladies are right...have a sanitary napkin and take some sort of pain killer...my dr actually prescribed a muscle relaxer for me which helped.

lisaf...fxed for you hun!!!

loulou...I find that if i have under 2 drinks my temp isnt affected but anything over that usually take is up about .5 F over what it should be. i would think you Oved but we wont really know for sure tomorrow.

emma - Dont worry hun, you are only on cd 15...I didnt ov the first time till cd18...that is really late for me.

dragon - thats it girl keep bding till you get that surge, yay for the smiley!!!!

keepsmiling- yay for OVing....

caz - glad the bleeding is stopping...that days you take the clomid usually your temp will be higher, that is normal

Well no af yet, but temp is down more....gosh this clomid has really lengthened my LP...it was already long...now it is even longer...I really just wish it will just come on so that I can move on....UGH!!!!! I have already gotten the damn BFN and watched my temp crash.....this is such a roller coaster.

 

[DragonMummy]

@TTC - not that I want to drag out any false hope, your temp is still well over the cover line....

 

[Britt11]

Good morning lovely ladies,
thanks for all the replies on the HSG, wow sounds like most of you have had that test! Got it pain killers and a pad!

Emma and Babylou- I want to share something my Fertility clinic told me, they are one of the top rated in North America and the clinic in general does not put any faith at all in temp charting and encourage patients not to do it. They told me I can do it for myself if I want but its not accurate and should not be relied upon. When looking at my last cycle (and i took my temp accurately) it showed I o'd on the same day as my +ve opk but in reality I likely O'd one or 2 days later.... Anyway, its nice to see a trend but dont worry if your temp isnt doing what it should, its not an exact science.
Fx'd for bfps from you 2!!!
Also Emma, I see you have your +ve opks, so O is just around the corner

Keepsmiling- I only got one day of +ve opk and I definitely O'd as I had my CD21 bloods. Sometimes if a woman has more than one or 2 days it might mean she is still trying to O.

Lisa- how are you doing today?

Caz- I just have spotting today too....my period was really heavy for a day and a half and then essentially nothing...strange

Has anyone ever had an IUI before? We are suppose to have that this cycle.

 

[ttcbaby117]

dragon - yeah, I do think it will drop more tomorrow though...I just cant imagine that it would go up so far and then fall like this and still be pg. I think tomorrow it will be below coverline and af will start. If it doesnt fall then I am pulling out my last HPT, but I dont think that will happen.

 

[ttcbaby117]

britt- thanks for that little bit of information...funny usually when I see the temp rise I stop bding...cuz usually by then we are so tired....hahaahaha so this month I think I will bd for a few days after my temp rise.

I know, I do the same thing!! I think definitely a couple days afterwards is a good thing
I had a look at your chart, wow 16dpo and no AF and temps are still above coverlilne...
I say you pull out the HPT tomorrow too...fx'd hon

 

[ttcbaby117]

yeah thanks britt, though I do think it will be below coverline tomorrow. Clomid did this to me last month. I didnt get my af till 17 dpo......but if it is still above CL tomorrow I will test again.

Hey all,
BFN this morning (10dpo). That low progesterone test really deflated me though. I just don't think there is any reason to hope... ok thats a bit of a lie because I took 2 tests this morning I've had a couple of slightly nauseous moments but I think they are mostly in my head.
Temp went up a tiny bit and boobs finally started hurting. I just don't think I can stand to get my hopes up again, you know? I'll keep testing because I'll need to go get the progesterone supplements if I am pregnant.
Not much cramping today.. guess that could be a good sign, right? That it stopped? But the day is VERY young for me still so we'll have to see. Last cycle my spotting showed up by the evening of 10dpo so there's a chance I'll be seeing that today, if not, then I'll see it tomorrow or maybe the acupuncture will help keep it away. I just want it to be Friday already so I'll know.. I'm tempted to beg the doctor for a blood HCG test so I can get a definitive answer but I don't want to throw money away on that just yet.

Thanks for the support you all.. its so good to have others who care about your cycle like this and its a nice distraction for me to care about your cycles too.

 

[lisaf]

Britt - how do you know you ovulated after the temp rise? was there anything going on that might have made your pre-o temps higher for some reason? now I'm all nervous that I'm ovulating later, lol (which makes my LP shorter too - yikes!)

 

[ttcbaby117]

lisa- i am hoping for friday to come for you too....I would like it here myself just so i can get on to my next cycle.

Hi Ladies - can I ask you a quick question (or 2)?

I got prescribed Clomid by FS yesterday and she said to take it CD1 to 5 - is that what you all do? Ive read of people taking it 3-7 or other days - why is that? What difference does that make? Is it if you have a longer cycle you take it at different times?

Also I have a HSG scheduled for my next cycle which means i cant start Clomid til July - do you think I should just start it anyway next cycle before the HSG? The HSG has to be preformed before CD10 so the dye would be out of the womb by then anyway wouldnt it? Should I risk it? What would you do? I know I shouldnt do it but I just want to start clomid and get a BFP..... if Im lucky enough.

Thanks for reading.
