clomid club

[todteach]

Not really, just a huge waste of money. I know it's early. I feel like a fool. When I take them "on time" and their negative it bums me a little bit, but I also think...........it's not over until the ugly witch shows her head. It was purely wishful thinking. I'll probably try again in the morning.

Are you using FRER etc? I use my ICs so I don't feel guilty about the cost! I remember getting mad at myself for 'wasting' a test back before I bought them online and in bulk for cheap.

 

[todteach]

Yes I do use the first response. Even two and a half years later, I always think: "this is my month". A little silly, but that's what seems to get me through. I think if I were to buy them in bulk, I would have to openly admit to myself, that we may be at this a while longer. And yes I know: that's a lot of money for two and a half years. What can I say? it's a bad habit.

I only buy 10 at a time max (which costs the same as 1-2 FRER)... I figure thats testing 8dpo to 16 dpo with a few double tests in a day or re-do in case of an error reading.... plus i figure i can then mess around with them afterward and see if an OPK can make it positive etc...(i plan on using them all so I don't jinx it by having any left over) I order new opks from the same site every cycle anyway

Morning Ladies,

Simi78 I wish you all the best for your procedure. I'm sure all will be just fine x

lisaf I'm waiting on news of that BFP x

Dragonmummy Fab news on the cheeky temp rise. Happy 2ww x

Hope everyone else is good.

I have had a horrible morning. Totally expected a temp rise to confirm ovulation but no, a little temp dip to be exact. Shocker. I even gave DH the night off last night as I was quite sure I had already ovulated. Cue the tears this morning and a hurried deposit from DH before we got up to make amends. Last chance saloon, either today is O day and I get a temp rise tomorrow or it is looking like I aren't going to O on 50mg clomid

 

[caz & bob]

hello how are you all carnt wait to ovulat hate the wait x x x

 

[Simi78]

Good morning lovies,
heading off to the mountains soon you got to love May, you can ski and golf here in the same month!

DragonMummy and Keepsmiling- yeah to O!! Now its the dreaded 2ww...I'm really going to try and keep busy this one

Simi- ahh good luck hon, I hope everything goes well and you get your BFP soon

Emma- I understand your frustration but you did get 2 postitive opks you are due to O anytime now. Remember what my FS said about the temps, not to put too much faith in it...I bet it goes up in a couple days for sure to confirm you had...

Caz, i am in the same boat as you except behind one CD as I got AF in the evening......yawn...waiting to O...

TTC- where you at hon? updates please!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

lisa- fxed for you hun...I hope this is it for you.

dragon - woohoo for being 1 dpo.....wonderful news....I hope you got all your bding in. I am coming to join the new group even though I am not in teh tww yet....geez that seems so far away for me right now.

keepsmiling - great news for you also....stick around hun we dont mind if you are on clomid or not.....we like you....

simi - I had the hysterscopy about 1 1/2 years ago and it isnt bad...worse part is waking up under general as it makes me sick, but the actual surgery isnt that bad. Just stay on your pain meds for a couple of days and dont try to be a hero. Also, make sure the day before you hydrate really well. You stick around also, we want to know how you are doing!!!!

emma - Sorry to hear about the dip hun, I hope tomorrow there is a nice beautiful spike.

Caz - right with you, I am only on CD1 now....ugh everything seems so far away at the mo.

britt - hey missy, wow the mountains sounds wonderful. I am so ready for a vacation....We postponed it and are now going on our cruise in June. How are you feeling today? Any updates?

Well as you can see from my siggy, af got me this morning. So CD1 for me and if this month doesnt work then I am off to the states for a consult to see if they want to do a lap and possibly a fibroid removal....UGH......I really hope this month works for me.

 

[ttcbaby117]

britt -do you notice your af is heavier or more painful bc of the clomid or is it just me?

 

[lisaf]

TTC- aw nuts!! I still had some hope for you... guess that will teach us to read too much into a temp chart! (of course as you can see below, I'm assuming stuff from my temps so I guess I didn't learn too well)

Morning all. I really wish I had some good news for you all but it was a BFN this morning. I know 11dpo is still early but thats only 2 days before my period with my cycle.
The bigger disappointment is that my temp dropped down to my pre-AF range.
This chart has still be totally weird and overall much better than my prior charts so there's always that.

I normally spot by 11dpo first thing in the morning and last time even spotted at 10dpo in the evening. So far (still early) no sign of spotting yet. I'm trying to assume that I'm fixing the problem rather than thinking I'm pregnant... trying to start lowering expectations so the crash isn't too hard, you know?

Still having very slight pressure cramps, lighter than before though. Boobs are still tender, but only slightly which is deflating my hopes somewhat since I'd expect them to hurt more.

Guess I just have to wait this out. I'll be testing again up until AF.

My best friend who is several months pregnant will be coming to visit me in a couple of weeks. It would have been so much easier for me if I was pregnant when she came especially since we started trying at the same time... she was also 'supposed to' have problems getting pregnant and I wasn't, so its a little extra unfair.

 

[lisaf]

Oh, and remember that early testing article I linked before over at fertility friend? ( https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/When_can_I_expect_a_positive_HPT_if_I_am_pregnant.html )
Well, I was annoyed because that article makes it look like only 30% of positives come up by 11dpo but the new tool they added was telling me it was like 58%. This new number is based on pictures of BFPs in the HPT gallery so I was thinking its possibly skewed since us early testers would be more likely to post pictures of our BFPs online.

Well they have a new article about testing negative before testing positive... and basically if you test negative after 11dpo then your chances of still getting a BFP are dramatically lower. (I'm 11dpo so I guess I still have a shot).
