Clomid/Femara Testers - TTC #1!

[horseypants]

lucy, you and i both have that 4dpo dip. i wonder what that's about.

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Hi ladies...

Im just about ready to join you.

I pick up clomid prescription tomorrow ...finally cyle 1 clomid

 

[charlie00134]

good luck hun, what dose have they got you on? x

 

[Smiler82]

Oh wow Charlie! I see the lines!! FX for your blood test

horseypants, Lucy - I hope this is your bfp cycle too. I just wanted to say though for me, I experienced what I thought were pregnancy symptoms with my first cycle, til someone told me on here that clomid can continue to give you symptoms after ovulation, because you have higher progesterone. For me, I turned out to not be pregnant and have learned my lesson about reading too much into symptoms!!! Even my boobs have been lying to me, the bitches Last cycle they got huuuuuggggge and veiny and I thought we'd done it. But we hadn't, and they have just stayed huge and veiny! Yuk! I'm just putting anything and everything down to clomid until proven otherwise....

Dips on charts can be from a secondary oestrogen surge. I get them all the time. It could also be an implantation dip but 4dpo is super-early for that. FF did a study on implantation dips and found that it's possible to have them on non-pregnant cycles, and also to not have any kind of dip at all on a pregnant cycle.

Sorry if I am being a real wet blanket today!!! I don't want to be sucking anyone's hopes away, I just want to share all the things I have learnt from being on this board so that we all have the facts xxx

Breaking Dawn - yay you get your prescription today! Hope it does the trick xx

Bee strong - FX for you too hun x

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Horsey pants, Congrats on your O and all the fun you have been having hopefully, it results in your BFP!!! Praying and sending dust your way!!

Charlie, I am anxious to hear what the doc says, and hoping your BFP stays a BFP!!! taht will be amazing for you!!

I currently am on day 14cycle, so me and the hubs are everyother night. I also have yet to register and O on my Opk so im hoping that due to my pcos it just might not register, so im still sticking to the plan of every other day!! Just hoping and visualizing the BFP!!!

congratulation charlie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy for you

 

[horseypants]

smiler, i super appreciate it. you are not a wet blanket! i honestly needed to know if it's a real possibility all the things i'm feeling are just the drugs doing their thing.

i got blood drawn this morning, for a progesterone test. we will see if i really did o on cd10. to recap, this is my second clomid cycle. first time was 50 and anovulatory. this time, 100mg and early ovulation? i normally have very long ~35 day cycles...

charlie, you have been added to the front page with your
the rest of us can not wait to join you

sara, get it girl

breaking dawn, i added you to the front page finally. i still have some catching up to do, adding other new ladies.

 

[BeeStrong]

CHARLIE! Congrats!!! Great news!!!

Breaking Dawn- Exciting! What cycle days are you taking your Clomid?

Smiler- You are not a wet blanket! I feel the same way you do. There have been so many months that I had what I thought were pregnancy symptoms, but then I got AF. My bbs are sore right now and started 1-2 days ago. I keep thinking, "If I am not pregnant and this is just AF symptoms I will be so mad!" Of course my body is doing different things this month because I am on Clomid, so I really don't know what to think. Geesh! Hang in there girl! Thanks for the crossed fingers

Sara- Keep up the BDing and visualization! Thinking good thoughts for you!

Horseypants- let us know what the results are. I hope it's good news!

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Thanks Horseypants..I'm offically clomid-er.

BeeStrong - I'm taking it starting today CD4..to CD8.

Does anyone know if clomid delays O-day? I normally ovulate on CD14 with 28day cycle. Sometimes I'll have 30/31 day cycle and Ovulate on CD16/17.

I'm just wondering if I can expect same ovulation days...I use opks.

 

[charlie00134]

I don't normally ov at all but I ov around cd15 on Clomid. it can have early ov

 

[Lucy529]

lucy, you and i both have that 4dpo dip. i wonder what that's about.

horseypants yep i noticed that too and like you i wonder what is going on with that hope it means that there is good news in our futures

 

[Smiler82]

Charlie that's such great news, congratulations You must be totally over the moon

Phew! Thanks for taking away my self-inflicted wet blanket status ladies haha I always want to stay hopeful for people but at the same time want to be realistic! We've all had more than our fair share of hopes being raised and dashed

Oh Beestrong, so AF came already?

Horseypants when will you get the results back? FX!!

Breaking Dawn I'm not too sure...I have read people on here say clomid delayed their ovulation day, but I don't think it applies to everyone. I don't have regular cycles though so I can't say. Sorry! I bet there will be a thread on BnB somewhere if you search.

AFM CD15 today and still no sign of ovulation. Getting paranoid it's not going to work this month! I've been ill though, suffering a bit with a cough and cold so maybe that's pushing it back.

 

[Lucy529]

morning ladies hope that you are all well this morning

smiler you are not a wet blanket by no means tbh reading your post really got me thinking that i am not going to spend the rest of this tww on pins and needles about not doing something bc maybe am preg. so after a talk with th ehubby we decided that am going to be going back on my diet and getting back to exercise (he had made me stop) if it is in my future to get a bfp if not well so be it

beestrong did af get you? if it did so sorry hun are you going to be doing an other round of clomid?

charlie when will you know the results keep us updated

afm well besides gettin back on my diet and losing more weight am not going to be doing clomid for next cycle DH and i were only given two cycles to try and although we want a baby pretty badly we are not going to 'waste' an other chance so we are going to concentrate all that energy into getting healthy and then try again in the new year sometime, hope that you ladies allow me to still visit and post every now and then. i know am not out until she shows up but am not feeling that this is going to turn into a bfp sorry if am a downer ladies

 

[Smiler82]

Oh that's nice to hear Lucy I'm glad I inadvertently helped you to make a decision! I was the same - wouldn't do anything just in case, but once you get past a certain point you just think you can't keep putting your life on hold just in case. How come you were only give two cycles? That's not very much Please do keep chatting even if you go on a break!! You still need support during a break x

 

[Lucy529]

thanks smiler from my understanding my dr thinks that bc i have pcos and dont regularly have a period (it can anywhere from 2 to 4 a year) that if clomid did not work with 2 cycles that i should go to a specialist.

but am hoping that with me losing more weight and taking better care of myself that i can get my periods on my own and might be able to conceive a little easier but only time will tell so am going to put all my energy into that thanks for allowing me to continue to post i will dep be cheering you girls on

 

[Starlight2012]

Lucy - that sounds like a great plan I've also been trying to trim down a bit and get healthier! have you ever used myfitnesspal (online site and also has an app). I have been using it over the past month to track my food and excercise and I love it!!

Smiler - sorry to hear you haven't been feeling that well. I hope that O comes soon for you! FX.

Charlie - congrats!!!!! super excited for you

AFM - I started 150mg clomid a couple of days ago, and hopefuly for this cycle! My period that is just ending was strange this cycle - TMI alert, a lot of dark brown, and only had one day where it was red, where usually there is a lot of red, so may have meant I didn't O last cycle, like I had suspected. Either way, onto a new cycle!!

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Hi ladies...
Trying to do some research on clomid delay of ovulation...but its hard to find cases where a person Ovulates regularly and takes clomid.

Anyhow, I took my first clomid pill last night...had a headache late evening but ok other then that.

I read that I should start OPKs on CD10...my last pill is CD8....does that sound right?

 

[charlie00134]

Well my doc says I have to contact my GP. She doesn't think I will get bloods and I'll have to push if I want an early scan
