Morning all
Hope everyone is well, dismal weather here today!
I will be starting on 50mg on day 2-6. Can't wait! This has to be the first time that ibam cheering af on to arrive

 

[MrsGAnderson]

ineedaseed - when youve taken it try not to track your days and start your OPK's about 10days after AF has arrived, do 1 a day... dont BD until the day of your positive... and then bd for 2days after your positive, that way the little spermies are all charged up ready to get to the right place... i didnt even know my cycle day this month and had switched off to ttc and i managed to catch by doing that good luck xxx

how is everyone? its quite nice here today although we had a mahusive thunder storm last night with thunder and lightning it was horrible xxx

 

[cranberry987]

I agree not to stress as theres no point but some women have v short lh surges so if you're waiting for a +ve to bd then there's a chance you'd miss it. I'd have sex every other day from cd 8 or so until AF. Ppls cycles vary so much and eod should be not too hard on the sperm reserves. Saving them up for a week won't make them any better quality but dtd too much might mean the bding isn't worth it.

My last cycle btw was the most stressful ever and I got no +ve opk, cbfm showed no peak. If I'd have gone by that then I'd have missed the egg

 

[MrsGAnderson]

ah yeah i didnt think of that... i suppose it is individual. i know when i found out i was pregnant back in november my dh wasnt well so we only bd'd twice in the whole cycle and i got a bfp, then miscarried... but every month since november weve done it every other day and not had a good result, always a bfn, until this cycle where we bd'd 3times and ive got a + again.

upto you hun, but i think both of us agree on trying not to stress or think too much about it xxx

 

[caz & bob]

girls how are u all afm come down with a bad cold feel ill weather her is rain rain its horrible and dull so going to chill today x x x

hi all.... im on 1st round of clomid.... imsure i Ov on day 13 as i had a pos on ov tests and had the stitch pain for most of the day.... the thing is im on day 21 now and have started spotting before clomid i would spot mid cycle anywhere from day 7-14 and 2 days before af...

now if this spotting is going to lead into an af say on monday that would mean i would have a very short luteal phase ... i though clomid was meant to regulate all this?.... im due af next fri 13th which will be day 27 and cos im only on day 21 i dont get why im spotting

 

[cranberry987]

Clomid can shorten your cycle ie the follicular phase. I've never heard of it helpin to lengthen the lp but I might be wrong.

 

[mrphyemma]

It's grey and rainy here and I have the usual clomid depression setting in. It will pass in a few days though, it usually does.
Good Luck to all the newbies and obviously those of us who have become part of the furniture too. x

 

[ineedaseed]

the fs said to do eod from day 10 to 16 inclusive. i am planning to do eod until my positive opk, then two days on the trot with my positive then skip a day...if that makes sense

IF your pre-AF spotting was due to low progesterone, then clomid can help.. if the spotting was due to another reason, then clomid may have no effect.
I had low progesterone and 50mg of clomid didn't have a big effect, but 100mg did fix the problem for me (had no spotting that time, but also got my BFP so not sure if my LP would have been spot-free or not if it was BFN).
So sometimes the dose of clomid may not be enough to fix the progesterone issue also.
