clomid club

[caz & bob]

Hey girls, sorry I was away for a bit- after bragging how painless and easy the HSG was I ended up getting bad cramping and stomach pains a few hours later- anyway, my stomach was awful until just now, this morning. So the procedure didnt hurt but later the cramping was not good. Also got very emotional this cycle (has to be from the Clomid) and DH and I got into a horrible fight- it was awful...anyway, happy to say that is behind us now.
agggh, this ttc thing is so hard for sure

anyway,

hello Emma!!! how are you? yeah for being 5dpo!! again you might even be 7 or 8dpo...from your +ve opk....I think temps are off with Clomid- but your chart is looking so stellar!!

DM- I actually get an LH surge before AF similar to your opk...hopefully its preg related but if not hope your next cycle is lucky

JoJo- good question, sorry I dont know...maybe try posting that on the other Clomid thread...

Caz- yeah to fertile time!! have you gotten a +ve opk yet?

TTC- where are you at?

Lou- how are you doing hon? I will also go to the other thread

SMile4me- they took a ton of pics for me too...I think thats normal b/c on the same scan they do each ovary and the uterus- so it takes awhile. Like you said you should find out the results today- good luck hon, sure you will be fine

as for me, I think I might get a positive opk on Friday- in which case IUI would be on Sat...hopefully all goes well

not yet hun i will soon i think xxxxx

Sorry Britt that you too have to go through the emotional turmoil we all are going through... it is a wonder we kep our sanity I must say!!
sorry you had pains but at least you will have some answers darling!

DM- Take a test sweetie, let us know... suspense is killing me

YOYO- I don't blame you for wanting the preseed for the next cycle, I will be doing it as well if all goes well with my results today.

Thanks Britt I appreciate the input, I was really freaked out yesterday and I talked to one of my clomid buddies that actually ended up doing IVF 10 years ago and she said fibroids for sure... or endometriosis... I know she's not a doctor but she went through this whole journey ten years ago for eight years!!!!!! Technology has come along way since then but she is an inspiration.

I got a negative OPK last night, I only get very faint single liners, never had a two liner so I am doing one today at 11 and another tonight at 7pm

BRITT- You go girl... go get that BFPositive OPK!!!!!!

yeah the best thing about fibroids is even if you have them...its very easy to fix...you can have the surgery and supposedly your fertility increases dramatically. If you have endo though, you would notice probably very heavy painful periods... Hon, they might have even been looking at a cyst- I had a cyst on a scan (2 scans ago) and they repeated it the next cycle and it was gone. Apparently its very common to get ovulation cysts...that go away after ovulation has commenced, the fact that you are close to O time that could have been what it was- i think i had my scan about 5 or 6 days before O.
let us know the results but you will be fine.

thanks for the pma, I know it was the clomid- I'm the type of person that doesnt like to be on any medication at all- so it really affects me I think...I'm hoping it works soon

fx'd for BFPs for all of us soon

 

[caz & bob]

aw fx for you britt xxxxx

dm - sorry about no ov....I hope next month you get your healthy eggy!

lisa - Are you doing clomid again this cycle?

emma - I think your temps are doing great. I thought that too last month because they were so high and the winter here is def. over but when it was time to drop and show me af was coming it sure did....no matter what the temp was outside.

jojo - yeah for oving on your own, but I dont think I can help you on your questions. Congrats though.

Britt - awww hun, sorry about the cramps and the fight. You are right this ttc crap is for the birds!!!!! Are they able to tell you how many follicles you will have in IUI? G/L on Saturday.

smile - Are you getting your results today. Britt is right, I have a fibroid in my uterus and they took tons of pics of it from every angle. The surgery is easy to get them out, if that is the issue. Please let us know what they say. BTW, if they do say that you have a fibroid or something like that ask them how big it is and where it is located. That makes a huge difference with fibroids on how it is treated.

Caz- yeah on the preseed...so i have decided on advice from SBB to get the softcups and put the preseed in the cup and insert the cup after bding...that way the preseed will help the swimmers but dh wont have to deal with it. What do you think?

Well 2nd pill down and another night of hardly any rest...hahaha..I cant wait for Saturday...that way Britt will have her IUI and I wont have anymore pills to take!!!!!!

 

[DragonMummy]

pmsl @ suspense! I've done one (with a nice strong sample - must drink more...) and it is a very resolute bfn (unless I REALLY squint :rofl). And I did another opk which is still strong. Sigh...

 

[DragonMummy]

YAY for Saturday! Fx'd for you TTC x

ha ha I love it, thats right you will be done the pills and I will have hopefully had my IUI!
I dont find taking the Clomid so hard- actually this cycle I had no side effects during, but a couple days later I turn into an emotional wreck that I cant control- this happend last time with Clomid too...about a few days after...agghh

you know whats funny TTC, is they dont do follicle tracking here with IUI....Not sure why...probably the cost is way cheaper without. Basically their mandate is to just come in the next morning after a positive OPK- not an exact science at all.....I think they only do U/S testing if you dont get +ve opks....I have every cycle so hoping it will work for me
we were told to BD yesterday and now nothing until the IUI- does take the pressure off doesnt it

 

[ttcbaby117]

wow it does take the pressure off.....I really hope this works for you!

 

[caz & bob]

I'm the same Caz! I think sometimes when you use too many things, it knackers things up even more! I take prenatal vits (when I remember) and have my arse on a pillow and knees to my chest for 20-30 minutes after bd.

I have a question for you ladies. Sorry if it's seems silly or if it has been answered in here before.

<---clomid n00b

When do you start opks on a clomid cycle? I am taking it from CD3-7. Would I start OPKs on CD10 like normal?

 

[DragonMummy]

I do cheapies every day all cycle with Clomid. I get almost positives straight after taking it for a few days, then they go faint again, then they get darker again til I get my positive. Then I confirm it with digis. BIM that Clomid can make your opk's positive straight after taking it, which is why I do them every day so I can monitor whats going on. x

 

[LeaArr]

Good Idea. Thank you!

 

[Smile4me]

cheapies. I'm going to have to find some cuz I am going broke with all this testing
