Weird though, my first response digital one has not gone positive at all yet. I'm wondering though.... It said to only start testing on cycle day 5 (and every day after).. But since I was on clomid, and it can give false positives, I waited and started on cycle day 11...
Wonder if that would effect it's results.

I got my 1ST EVERHalloween baby!
3rd rd upped to 100mg Clomid + Mucinex (only BD'd once 2 days bef O)
to all- it WILL HAPPEN FOR YOU!
Ahhhh!! I LOVE hearing round 3 success stories!! This is fantastic news
What dpo did u test? Did u have symptoms?
I tested IC 12-13dpo which were basically neg. 14dpo tested frer which was faint but unmistakable. Today 15dpo I was pos on a digi.
I had a sharp twinge on 8dpo that made me think it was implantation, so it makes sense.
Small symptoms...I was tired and going to bed earlier, drinking lots of water, peeing, and freezing all day at work.

Definitely positive, I got false positives last cycle so I think you did the right thing in starting later, I will this cycle. I'd say bd because your should ovulate soon!!!

Yay! So happy for you....
So I don't have to read backwards through all these threads..how oftend were you on the muscinex? How much did you take and also what day did you think you o'd on? I guess I am wondering how you knew you only bd'd once 2 days before O? sorry for so many questions. I just started my 3rd round of 100 mg of clomid too. I will finish it on Sunday then the waiting of O to arrive then hopefully my BFP!! Thank you for posting your success. Very hopeful for the rest of us!

I took the mucinex (make sure it only has guaifenesin NOT D or DM) 12-hr release (600mg?) for like 3 days up to O with lots of water. Clomid made me O on CD 18 the first 2 months and as expected was the same for the 3rd. I used OPK's but never got a positive. I hoped to BD the day before O, too, but DH couldn't make it happen. He has issues from time to time and I was afraid the pressure to perform was too much. I was sad and thought the month was a waste but it only took once!
Congrats on the BFP lune!! That is so exciting!
Mindgames- congrats on the positive OPK, always a great feeling!
horsey - I was just switched to femara in preparation of my 2nd IUI. How has femara been for you and were you originally on clomid?
AFM just started AF yesterday and had some miserable cramps. Getting ready for my 2nd IUI this cycle-- sometime during the week of March 4th. Rainy day where I am today, working on revamping an old china cabinet that was my great grandmother's... pretty cool. Except my DH wants to kill me, he's been sanding it for days, LOL!

Ladies quick question... Has anyone found that clomid makes their cycle longer? I was due AF yesterday, still no sign and don't feel like its on its way either. Bfn's on htps. Usually a 26 day cycle, could delay be clomid a fault? Xx

Bellaz,
I've been told it can make you ovulate later than normal, and when I phone my fertility specialist she basically said (for me) to expect to ovulate around cycle day 17. I'm assuming if you ovulate later, you'll still have a normal luteal phase, so your cycle would be longer than a non-clomid cycle.

I have heard it can make your cycles longer or make them shorter I guess its just how your body works and the combination of meds you are on. Like my dr perscribed me a progesterone tablet also, so my cycle has actually been a day shorter then the doc expected.`
AFM well i am now 1dpo headed into the TWW.

Thanks Mindgames, I thought that was probably the case. I was in agony from cd 14-20 so it's been difficult to pinpoint ov. I will def use OPK's for my second round of clomid and I'm planning on temping too. If I did ov CD17 then I completely missed it, was in hospital for two days
Put your feet up Brismommy, let that implantation take place only 9 days until your bfp! You have to think positive xxxI got my 1ST EVER

Thank you so much for responding!! This makes me very hopeful and thank you for including the part about your poor hubby. That is exactly what happened to us last month. I made it a point to tell him during the day (while we were at work) that we needed to bd on certain days and he felt it was like a job and grossed him out I think so we ended up not bd'ing for about 10 days. During those 10 days it happen to be when I should O. I was so upset. I haven't said anything to him this time and I was so hurt that I had issues next time we were intimate.
I am just going to do my OPK's in private and not tell him when it's time to O and just make sure some how he participates LOL Again, congrats so happy happy for you!! That's awesome. I will also try your suggestion in regards to the muscinex too.
