clomid club

[babyloulou]

Lou I'd say do it! Thats what I did that last month. I rang my doc and said I needed the bloods done local so he gave me a form. BUT I still had one saved up from the FS for the month after!

If they say anything after say you got confused hahaha xxx

That's exactly what OH said Ellen!! I'll be all like "er... sorry- I thought that's what I was supposed to do !"

 

[Rudeollie]

TTC - my DH doesn't know what to do with me either when I hit those blues (though I tell him that pampering me does help). I say it every cycle, but its still true.. its just extra cruel to slap you with the disappointment of not being pregnant at the exact same moment you are dealing with all the AF moodiness.

lisaf- I think Clomid makes all the hormones worse too!

I have just spoken to my FS's secretary and my CD21 level was 28!! Not bad to say that was the actual day I ovulated!!

 

[lisaf]

loulou - thats a great level considering it was ovulation day!
(Feeling very inferior now with my low progesterion at 5dpo and 8dpo, lol)

 

[babyloulou]

I'm a little confused by it to be honest!

Lou do it. I've had my solitary cd21 from my fs last month so am gonna sort one out through gp for this month. x

I was wondering about the Cd21 test myself today. I certainly didn't ovulate on Cd14 so say I did ovulate today (cd16) would I still go on CD21 like FS asked or leave it to CD23?
In the past I have gone on 7dpo but is it different on a clomid cycle?

Lisa - yep cruel world.....damn eve for eating that apple!!!!!

Yes, you always want the test done at 7dpo.

Not sure if you were here for my last cycle... but I called to get the bloodwork scheduled and the nurse told me it HAD to be day 21 (I had ovulated day 17)...I asked her to check with the doctor because of my later ovulation and she said he wanted it done day 21 also. Well I miscounted a little and had the bloodwork done on day 22.
When I next saw my doctor and we talked about the low levels he said 'well maybe its because it wasn't done on the right day.. you were only 5dpo then'. I wanted to strangle someone.... he gave me the bloodwork papers for my next cycle and told me to go in 7dpo and forget about day 21. He didn't seem to care which day it was as long as it was 7dpo.

question...Does anyone on here that is taking clomid not chart or do opks? I was thinking of not doing it b/c of the stress...though, all of it quite fasinates me. Just wanting everyones thoughts on it.

As much as I obsess about my temps, I don't think it really stresses me. I KNOW I would be stressed if I didn't know if/when I ovulated and if/when my period was due. Thats how I view it. I haven't had the guts to do a cycle without OPKs and/or temp charting.

And of course even though I'm taking a Clomid break after this cycle, I'll still want to temp because I don't know if I'll ovulate on my own so I'll need to know otherwise I'll get excited and think I'm late and will have no idea where I'm at.

 

[keepsmiling]

im not on clomid! huffff
lol
but i dnt temp, i just do opks xxx

 

[ttcbaby117]

Well I really started temping b/c sometimes I couldnt find OPK's to buy down here....and now that is really all I do, b/c OPKs are expensive here.

 

[DragonMummy]

Can't you get ic ones from ebay? The light green ones are really good and only about £2.50 for 10. If you bought in enormous bulk I'm sure they would ship to you. I get them from an Ebay store called Fertility Plan

 

[DragonMummy]

Oh and I'm with Lisa. As tedious as this all is, I'd rather that than not having a clue! If I had clockwork cycles I wouldn't bother but I ov'd on CD12 last month and CD21 this month! Not worth the stress in my eyes...

 

[keepsmiling]

wot on earth is this pain, could it be ovulation pain??
