Clomid/Femara Testers - TTC #1!

[Breaking Dawn]

Bellaz

sorry AF got you....

i know how you feel after 3 failed clomid + 1 failed femera cycle! it's so tough to see a bfn/af each cycle...

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Laurabe.. did you test again?

How us everyone doing?

I just came back from my first IUI... praying this is it

 

[laurabe]

I havent tested again. just gonna wait til tomorrow cos AF is due.

I dont have my hopes up cos it turns out the tests i used are very unreliable, even though i got a blue line within seconds, i have read alot of very bad stories about them now being false and showing up with a blue line no matter what :S

Its the ClearBlue plus ones. though last time i used one and got a BFN there wasnt even a hint of a line.. but on fri i did have a BFN on a digital so i'm thinking it will be BFN overall.

Just need to wait and see if AF arrives tomorrow, if not, then i will definitely test again


Good luck with IUI, fingers crossed for you x

Hey ladies, I am on vacation in the states but just caught up on posts.

Laura hope it is a bfp for you!!

As for me I am doing all natural this cycle, trying not to even think about it as dh just left this morning and we will be separate for 2 weeks but I am CD 11 and having ewcm, dh and I bd last night so hopefully I am O'ing today or tomorrow, even tho it is early maybe we will catch it.

Oh and I haven't actually seen ewcm for months, which could be from all the bd or it could be that I am relaxed this month. Best of luck to everyone.

 

[Breaking Dawn]

goodluck laurabe and rebandy!

rebandy...i had so much EWCM today...was the first time ive ever seen this MUCH.

hello ladies!!!

bellaz- sorry af got you, with 2 failed clomid cycles i know how u feel. it truely sucks.

laurable i hope this is your bfp and af stays away

breakingdawn- good luck on this iui cycle

rebandy- good luck with your natural cycle and catching that eggy on time,

afm im 10dpo and feeling out because i've had slight af cramping for about 3 days now mostly at night. Maybe af will show her ugly face earlier this cycle. af due to arrive anytime wed-fri. uhggg. i've really been trying not to think about it at all this cycle. I didn't temp no testing nothing just trying to enjoy life. If af arrives I will skip clomid next cycle and go natural, I need a break from all this. Its getting nicer outside here in nyc so Ill be trying to enjoy the weather and going out more until may. baby dust to all!!!

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Family... i hope you don't get AF. until she comes you're still in

 

[laurabe]

Just started spotting after spending £20 on tests

Wow ladies, looks like I had a lot of catching up to do! I've been doing it natural this cycle and am currently CD11 and did not even take my clomid. I took it 3 times and it made my AF horrible to bare so I decided to give my body a break. Besides that I don't get any other monitoring done right now because I am seeing the military doctor on base. I did just get a referal though to see the GYN section on base and they may refer me to a specialist so I am excited. I had some blood work done last week and I will call shortly to get my results from that. See if everything is okay.

Laurabe- sorry to hear about AF don't give up. I know it's frustrating

Breaking dawn- Wow had your IUI, so exciting and my FX'd for you!!! Baby dust and lots of it for you.

Rebandy11-Me too, natural this cycle. No clomid and haven't even been getting on the threads everyday like usual. I am seriously trying not to think about it. I however; will use my OPK's just to continue to confirm that I am getting positives on them. I know it doesn't garuntee ovulation but at least I know if I get a positive surge detection.

Family 1st--it is disappointing, I know but don't give up. Maybe going natural will help get your BFP. It's hard not to think about this all of the time but I have realized it's something I can't control. Just thankful that GOD gave us brains and people the ability to create medicines and stuff that can help us. I just couldn't handle the clomid this cycle becuase it made my AF awful to deal with. I am going to use my OPK's beginning Wednesday or maybe Thursday of this week so I will see what happens wihtout the clomid! Good luck hun and hoping AF stays away for you.

Laurabe ...

Tundra ... so good to see you again. sounds like you are feeling really good about taking a break from the meds. hope you get a bfp!

 

[tundralife2]

thanks Breaking Dawn. I'm not feeling the best about it but not much else I can do to make it happen. I did get some slight good news just now. I had my TSH, FSH, LH and prolactin drawn to see if I'm normal and I am! My labs all came back great. I am seeing my new doctor on April 8th and asking them to do the 21 day progesterone test or some US or something. I didn't even get to see if the clomid worked with my ovaries because my last dr did not monitoring or anything. What a waste. My eggs are getting older and older lol

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Sounds like you have a great plan tundra.

All the best

Hi everyone :wave:
I'm back after a month of a break from here. Im back with good news, today I got my !!!!!

I honestly can not believe it. 4th month of clomid, and the FIRST month i truely relaxed and thought very little about it.
Im only 10dpo, but got + on a FRER, a clear blue digi (result=pregnant 1-2), and another one that gives the "+" symbol.
So early days and fx my poppy seed sticks!
Thought Id come back to share my good news. It will happen for you all.xxx

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Ready2...OMG. I am SOOOO happy for you.



Yay!!! Are you going on for blood work?

Thank you breaking dawn!
As Im only 10dpo Im going to wait until next monday to go to the doctor. I feel like wrapping myself in cotton wool until then!!! It is the most surreal feeling. I imagined this moment so many times, and never imagined it like this! Its like my brain cant process it!!

Ready2b

So you took clomid...did you have cycle monitoring too?

When did you BD?

Ready2b

So you took clomid...did you have cycle monitoring too?

When did you BD?

This was our 4th month of clomid. We decided not to have monitored cycles, as the blood work proved I was definitly ovulating on the clomid and being monitored wasnt going to add anything extra to the process for us. Our plan was to do the 6 months of clomid and then go for an IUI. I was also booked for a lap&dye on April 15th (not cancelling until the doc confirms my positive!)

Unless theres a doubt about whether you are ovulating or not I dont see the need for a monitored cycle personally. But everyone is different.x

I O'd on March 23rd. we bd'd on the 18th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd. Didnt use any preseed or softcups or anything else.

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Ready2b... i go in for monitor for cysts...only bc I've had them. But once I have the clear then I never did monitor.

But for me clomid and BD did not work...clomid gave me very very thin uterine lining so I had to stop.
