Hi dreamofabean - welcome to our potty little family! x

 

[lisaf]

Hi all,
I'm new and not sure if i should be here or not? Im not LTTTC but i've been given 50mg clomid for 3 cycles today I have to take progesterone tablets for 10 days before to start my af but im hoping that my ovaries start working! Have endo and i had hormone treatment last yr that shut down ovaries and now they're still sleepy i guess?
Hope you guys dont mind me popping in here but i figured i'll ahve lots of questions about it all soon!!!x

Hey dream - I've seen you around on other threads. Welcome!

 

[Wait & Hope]

Awww Lisa I'm sorry honey. I hope you get some answers xx

W&H fab news on the progesterone levels, was that on 50mg of clomid? I hope this is your lucky cycle xx

Yes Em, that was on 50mg of clomid.

BTW, did an opk this afternoon and not dark enough for a 'positive', but there was defo a 2nd line so maybe LH is on the rise, PLUS I got ewcm today!? I don't get ewcm very often at all let alone on CD10 so well weird for me. I have been drinking grapefruit juice which I've never done before so maybe it really does work

 

[tink28]

wait and hope my opk always looks like that the day before a positive!
im gonna try the grapefruit juice next month x

 

[sarlar]

my one (.) is now bigger than the other. wtf.

 

[tink28]

morning everyone, hows everyone today?

i get my 21 day blood results back today and am so nervous, so worried im gonna hear that my progesterone is low or that i didnt O.
even though my chart looks promising, im so used to hearing otherwise its hard to believe it!

sarlar are u having any other symptoms? im just waiting for AF to show now, convinced im out this month

 

[mrphyemma]

Tink, your chart is still looking fabulous and 11dpo is still early to get a BFP so in my humble opinion....You are still in the game!
I know what you mean about being nervous for the test results. I have my bloods taken today and I will be soooo nervous when I call for the results on Monday.

Sarlar I have no idea about the enlarged booby but hopefully it is a good sign.

W&H Glad the grapefruit is working and hope you get the +opk soon xx

Good Luck to Britt today with the IUI. Thinking of you my lovely xx

 

[mrphyemma]

Forgot to say, I'm feeling a bit down today. My temps are wavering between two figures and don't seem to be on the rise at all. I am losing confidence day by day. Was hoping for some good temps on the 100mg I think it is going to take dynamite to get me ovulating

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Don't lose hope,Em. Maybe it's just a bit later than anticipated.

 

[tink28]

thanks Em, to be honest even if im out for this month i will jst be thrilled to know i ovulated, that will give me massive hope.

dont lose hope on your temps yet u might be on a slow rise, has FF given u crosshairs yet? did u ovulate on your last cycle? i know u increased this cycle x

 

[Dobchops]

Hi, everyone.

How are you ladies feeling? Will be taking my last one today. Had a bit of nausea and lots of headaches but otherwise OK. what day did you start b'ding? My oby/gen said only from CD 10. But there's a lot of ladies on here that starts on CD 8.

Tink I'm holding thumbs and everything else for a bfp for you this month. Hope you test result are perfect.

mrphyemma

What does grapefruit and green tea do for you?

 

[tink28]

hey dobchops, the green tea and grapefruit juice is said to increase cm, im gona try it next month if im out this month, ive heard of people havin good results on it.


i ovulated on day 14/15 this cycle which was my first clomid cycle. im using a donor so cant BD regularly like most others on here but day 10 would prob be good time to start id say to cover your bases. are u using opks? xx

 

[Dobchops]

oh, green tea here I come. LOL. and grapefruit juice if i can find.

I would love to get some opks but they are quite expensive here in SA and the cheaper one's online is out of stock Maybe I can twist DH arm to get me some of the expensive ones.

I want start charting my temps as well but need to get a thermometer asap.

 

[tink28]

keep looking for cheaper opks online i think alot of the ladies on here use them and some might be able to tell u the best place to get them.

i use CB digi but thats just cos i hate trying to interpret opks! they are expensive tho xx

 

[DragonMummy]

Nothing wrong with your chart at all, Em! You've clearly ovulated, thats a good surge! Worry ye not xxx

 

[DragonMummy]

ok question. I did 2 opk's today. The ic is not positive but a strong line nonetheless. But I got a smiley on the digi one! WTF?

 

[keepsmiling]

how strange, i normally get better lines on ic cos there more sensitive xx

 

[DragonMummy]

well i normally do too. It's a bit patchy, maybe I didn't leave it in the wee for long enough. Will try another one later.
