Clomid/Femara Testers - TTC #1!

[Starlight2012]

thanks so much charlie & lucy! am trying to stay positive. the upside is that I am seeing my best friends tonight who I haven't seen in a long time, and now I can enjoy a nice glass of wine at least!

oh lucy - i hope that you feel better soon do you have some plans this weekend to help distract you?

 

[charlie00134]

Lucy I hope you feel better quickly, do you normally ovulate or is it just with Clomid?
I ask because the hormones kick my ass because I'm not used to them, making me really moody and emotional

 

[Lucy529]

i have pcos and don't usually have periods or ovulate on my own so am not sure what is going on i normally don't have side effects from meds either

when i was put on metformin last year at 1000 mg for a week and then to 2000 never felt anything when i took the clomid a friend of mine was really sick and i felt fine,great even and then a few days after o all of a sudden i began to feel dif, the same thing happened last year when i was put on metfomin i was in the hospital almost every few days bc they thought i was having a heart attack it was my bbs that were sore i now realize, the huge dif is that this time am sleeping very well the last time i bararely slept, that turned into my bfp

i guess google can be a friend and an enemy

 

[charlie00134]

Clomid gives me awful side effects and I've had emergency ultrasounds in the past because they thought I had overstim. Hope it's worth ut

 

[Lucy529]

i only had a slight headache for a maybe 2 days when i was taking the clomid and that was it nothing else until a few days before ov i began to feel slight cramps before o and a really bad ones on day of o, a few days later i began to get some 'symptoms' now i don't know what to think

 

[charlie00134]

I get terrible hot flushes and I'm always getting pains lol

 

[Lucy529]

have you had anything after you o'd ?

starlight no plans this weekend DH is working and am working too so i might go to the store and buy more cheap tests but that is about all

 

[charlie00134]

Loads, cramps, increased appetite, gas, vivid dreams, sleeplessness I'm sure there's more but I can't remember

 

[Lucy529]

yep same here but not so bad i guess we shall see what happens in a few days
i always look at your ziggy to see what the symptom for dpo to see if i have it LOL and so far i have lol

 

[charlie00134]

It doesnt give the most common tho. This is the full list x

[Lucy529]

well that sucks LOL i am not exhausted am just sleepy other than that i think that i have most of them lol question i read a lot that cm dries up with clomid i even brought pre seed thinking i would use it but so far i only used it once that was after o are you getting (sorry tmi) lots of creamy white cm?

 

[charlie00134]

Not lots but I am getting thick creamy CM the last couple of days. Read this is a good sign

 

[Lucy529]

Not lots but I am getting thick creamy CM the last couple of days. Read this is a good sign

me too for the last couple of days i think i only had a few "dry' days but them creamy (sorry tmi) but it's nice to talk to someone who is going through it at the same time especially at the same dpo i hope that it is a good sign FX for us

i am feeling tons better i think that a sad spell hit me and now its gone and am back to being happy is that what they refer to as mood swings i usually go from calm to mad and then calm again never from happy to sad

 

[charlie00134]

yeah def say that's mood swings. I'm getting more and more symptoms, I'm wanting to test but it won't show anything yet

 

[Lucy529]

i don't recomend it i did this morning and nothing so we should wait a few more days

 

[charlie00134]

I don't think I will test anytime before 10dpo because before that it's greater chance of false neg than true pos

 

[Lucy529]

good thinking i am going to have to keep that in mind next time i want to grab that stick lol

 

[charlie00134]

getting harder to resist tho. I'm doubting my symptoms now, they could so easily be.in my head.

 

[Lucy529]

i hear ya i keep making my hubs check my bbs bc i think they changed and he confirmed it yest. so at least something is really happening but the rest i think that it's all in my head too

only a few more days before we can test and be able to get something

 

[charlie00134]

my hubs said he can't tell but he's not an observant kind of man
