Clomid/Femara Testers - TTC #1!

[Breaking Dawn]

MrsBroody - I O'd on CD14/15 on 1st cycle of clomid!

Hi ladies...6dpo today

 

[tiatammy]

hello ladies, I am driving myself crazy, I finished clomid 150mg cd5-9 and I am now on cd25, Had a positive OPK on cd19, bedded,cds 17,19,20,21,24. here is the quesion I didn see a temp drop before ovulaion, and my temps are staying at 98.1, the day before the positiove OPK my temp was 97.9 then the next day it was 98.1, so did I ovulate or what ? I wish I could attach my temp chart the the temp chart that the doc. uses I cant attach to anything. grrrrrrrr, and do your temps run higher than that if you are pregnant? HUGS HUGS FRIENDS

 

[Starlight2012]

MrsBroodyPant - I have O'd on CD22(50mg), CD24 (100mg), and CD15 (150mg), taking clomid D2-6. Hope you and all the other ladies waiting O soon

 

[Starlight2012]

tiatammy - if your temps are staying elevated at 98.1 then likely your ovulated. how does your chart and temps compare to previous cycles? i believe that some women see a 2nd increase in temp after implantation, but doesn't necessarily happen for all ladies who get a BFP. good luck in your TWW!

sara, missed u! I actually stalked some ladies yesterday and found a couple s to add to our list on post #1 and i was wondering how things were going with ya. YEAH for confirmed ovulation! i have not delved into seeing a specialist yet, but i heard that when you do, there are some extra things they can do, like ultrasounds to monitor follicles and ovulation to make sure you are bd-ing at the right time. they can even give you a trigger shot of LH to force ovulation if eggs are having trouble getting out of the gate, which it does not seem you are having any trouble with . i for one am feeling very positive for your chances. I hope I o this cycle too! I messed up and took the second round of pills too early, so i think this is my second clomid cycle really. i upped the dose to 100mg too. i'm not sure if i'm doing a progesterone test this time.

breaking dawn, happy friday! hey - do you know what size your follies were before you o-ed? and what does it look like after you have o-ed? i mean how can they tell there are two or three? are you in the u.s.? are you having to pay for doc's bills? i want them to monitor my follies but not sure if i can afford it!

aWESOME, THNAK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION!! That makes me feel better to know my doc is doing the right things w/ me. Im really gald that i o'd this cycle, and Im hoping for my BFP. I get to test on day 35, but I have a feeling I should buy stock in EPT, because I'll be taking a test everyday! lol

I have a good feeling Horsey that this is the cycle that you will O!!! so many good things are happening on this thread, that its goign to happen for you!!!

Breaking Dawn, tht is great that you had follies, and yes how can you tell if there are two or three?

 

[sara115597]

ElleT613, mine was around a 4 too fingers crossed we both o this time. I'm on cd13 and waiting....... normally i dont o till around cd19, so we will see!

Horsey,
I forgot....do you use OPK? I know I did this month, but my ovulation didnt register....has that ever happened to you? I thinks its due to my PCOS that it didnt register cause on the OPK box it says that pcos may not always register.

Jsut saying, dont go off that all the time!

 

[CJDHappy]

Thank you! I had my appointment this morning and, unfortuntaely, there was no additional follicle growth so they're having me start 150mg of Clomid TODAY! Is that normal? I was assuming I'd have to wait and get my period and start all over but they're starting me today (CD17) and hoping to see activity by next week.

Temps seem to be the same as prev cycles, that why I am confused, being on this clomid since sept, now I am up to 150mg cd 5-9 and really have yet seen a big change, well did get a positive opk ( with the clearblue easy smiley face) on cd 19 at 11:00pm and then tested agiain the next morning and it was neg, we still bedded on cd 19 of the positive and the next 2 days after. and I do have to say this is the first positive OPK since being on the clomid so that is a plus.

[Starlight2012]

CJDHappy - sorry to hear that your follies are not growing yet - I hope that they see some action soon! I have not heard about starting clomid mid-cycle before however, I just did a quick Google and there have been ladies who are advised to take clomid mid-cycle if there is no follicle growth. If you're not sure, perhaps have a chat with your doctor?

tiatammy - that is a good sign that you got an OPK+ and that your temps are similar to previous cycles. just keep on tracking and see how it goes! does your doctor have you doing any bloodwork to confirm for ovulation? i know some ladies here go for a D21 bloodtest to test for progesterone levels !

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Sara - my dr was monitoring me, so I would go in for ultrasounds (vaginal). They can see, count and measure follicles. So prior to O there were 2-3 large follicles measured...after O those follicles are gone.

Starlight I think we are on the same cycle...AF is due on 21st...norally I would wait for AF and not test...but since I was on clomid dr wnats me to come in for bloodtest....

What are your plans?

 

[kerrbear7183]

I'm okay...am 13dpo today, AF due tomorrow or Thursday. I really don't know! I feel a bit crampy and stuff so I reckon I'm out. But if AF doesn't show I will test on Friday.

How are you? How many dpo are you?

Don't count yourself out yet! I got my BFP at 15dpo. I waited to test until the day after AF was due because I was cramping. My cramps weren't as bad as when AF comes, but they were definitely there. Good luck when you test!

Thank you kerrbear! My cramps are also not quite as bad as AF - usually once they arrive they hang around. But they are coming and going at the moment so I don't know. Trying not to get hopes up but it's hard the longer you go without seeing any spotting or anything. I've been caught out before though, AF arrived 16dpo instead of the usual 14 or 15.

I know what you mean. Good luck!

 

[kerrbear7183]

Please can i ask u ladies? What cd did u ovulate on with clomid?
Thanks im cd12 and waiting to see if i o xxx

I ovulated CD21 my first cycle with Clomid, then CD17 with this cycle.

 

[Starlight2012]

breaking dawn - my af is due right around yours - dec 22nd. I have a blood test schedule for dec 21st but i don't think that I will get the results until after the weekend. that is right, you are doing a blood test! when is that and do you know how long it takes to get results back? I am going to try to wait until the 21/22nd to test, but I always say that and usually cave a couple days before....haha

tiatammy - looks like you are just ahead of breaking dawn and I in your TWW

Wow - so we are on the exact cycle..dr wants a blood test on dec21...same day results, the nurse will call me.

BUT, if AF is coming...I feel like I rather just find out on my own (ie hpt) rather then hear it on a phonecall....I will be on eggshells all day until that phone rings...you know what I mean...

 

[ElleT613]

Elle, do you chart? How long are your cycles normally? I should correct myself, it looks like I'm cd14. My opks have been looking the same since af left! No change yet! I am really hoping to o soon - if I did on cd16, it would be the start of a miracle

I actually never started temping, kind of wish I had a long time ago! My cycles range from 28- 31 days so nothing too crazy. I hope you O!! Keep us posted!
