keepsmiling - thats why charting your temp can be helpful... because you can get an OPK surge but not drop off an egg... so seeing your temp rise can be a good sign.

Though as I recall dragonmummy - didn't you have that super pathetic rise? Any chance you did ovulate, just so weakly that the corpus luteum didn't put off enough progesterone for the blood test to confirm?

i find charting too damn stressful, i had relly high temps all the time lst mont n thot i was preg so wen af arrives i was devestated1

 

[caz & bob]

I had to post on both forums:

OK LADIES I GOT A CALL FROM THE DOC
and she says my ultrasound is normal so I can stop worrying!!! Oh please let this be the month .. I'm ovulating now and Its on like donky kong.. I just sent a text to my husband...
"We can do it like they do on the discovery channel" I know tmi but hey we are all in the same noahs ark!!

 

[caz & bob]

aw i am glad theres nothing to worry over hun x x x x

 

[LeaArr]

I find it stressful not to chart. I love being able to know that I ov'd and the day AF is going to be here.

GL Smile4me. Go catch that eggy!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

DM - sorry to hear that you didnt Ov. I hope next month is different. What to do now???? Go back on the Provera?

Smile - woohoo wonderful news hun...on like donkey kong is right!

[mrphyemma]

Ahh sorry to hear you didn't ovulate DM Can I please be nosy and ask what the figures were?

 

[keepsmiling]

ur a nosey 1 mrs murphy ahahha xx

 

[mrphyemma]

I know I am but it is interesting to know what numbers people classify as not ovulating. For instance my gp said I wasn't ovulating at 26 but my fs said I probably was.

 

[Smile4me]

I'm not sure Emma but what I was told last cycle that my number was 13 and the doctor said I had ovulated but I will know more on cd21 since I got a +opk, I will know my numbers then and will let you know.

has anyone heard that 1000mg of vitamin c per day will help the clomid work? I have read that but I have also read that the vitamin c will hinder your cm....UGH...contradicting isnt it.

Thanks ttc I hadn't heard that but will go a googling later and maybe give it a whirl next cycle if things don't work out on this x

 

[babyloulou]

But then there is another school of thought that high doses of vitamin c can be used to induce AF. Apparently it can force your period- I had never realised and had always took a berroca every day (which is 1000mg) - I stopped a couple of cycles ago when I was told about the AF thing!

 

[DragonMummy]

@Smile - WOOP! Glad all was normal. You obviously just had a jobsworth doing your scan!

@Lisa - nah, it really was the most pathetic temp rise and was very reminisce of my annovulatory cycles before meds.

@Em - I did'nt ask for numbers as I only spoke to the receptionist and she just said "no need for followup, ovulation not detected"


Update from my end, I have just got back from the docs having decided that I have struggled for long enough with depression with no medication due to TTC and that actually I would be better off taking something and feeling better and being able to enjoy life. I've had depression on and off since I had Harry (started as PND then just hung around) and the MC recently coupled with moving house, the boy going through a "difficult" phase (arguing with everything and refusing to do as he's told) plus DH's job is going through the mill again has just tipped me over my "acceptable" threshold. Because obviously when youre down you take it out on those closest and I don't want DH and DS to be affected. So I have been put on 20mg of Fluoxetine.


Then when I got in from the docs I started feeling the old familiar twinges of a bladder infection which I am REALLY vexed about! I don't get them often, only when I am super run down so obviously today was the right day to go to the GP.

So hopefully I will start feeling better in a week or so!

Big love to all x

I'm not sure about it helping clomid work, but when I went to pick up my Rx, I had some Vit C in hand and the pharmacist warned me that taking too much vit c during pregnancy can be hard on the baby after birth. There have been documented cases of babies getting scurvy shortly after birth due to having too high a dose of vit c in the womb.

I say it's worth a try to see if it helps the clomid, but maybe avoiding during the 2ww or when you get a
