Clomid round 3 anyone else?

[cntrygrl]

Star-- That is one thing I am enjoying this cycle not being on clomid. No hot flushes! I used to get them horribly at night.

 

[tundralife2]

i'm here just trying to relax and i'm only on CD7 today so def nothing new to report. You ladies are soon enough out of the TWW. And cntrygrl- it is great not being on clomid. I too am enjoying my cycles off of it.

 

[star25]

Im tempted not to take it next cycle just for a break but I know I will! The hot flushes are my main side effect of the Clomid, this cycle theyre just lasting longer, at least I havent got thrush from the hormone Changes, that was the worst! X

 

[Dannixo]

Well the wicked witch arrived today.. On to clomid cycle 6. Hoping to make it to the iui part this time and my linings not to thin. Will call the doctor on Monday to see what the game plan is this month. Good luck to everyone still waiting to test!

 

[Noele0002]

Dannixo- Sry to hear the witch got you well like I said before... I've got my fingers crossed that all goes to plan for you with the IUI!!!

Star- I have no symptoms here either... Just the waiting game now!

Cntrygrl- I don't know what's going on with my temps this cycle.. They were rising and now dropping so FF has not given me crosshairs. All my other cycles I had crosshairs after 3-4 rises. I don't know...I will have to wait and see I guess. Thanks for all your help though.

 

[star25]

Sorry to hear that dannixo , hoping you can continue this cycle with you iui now xx



One good thing time is ive not had that left hand side stabbing pain this cycle, ive had it for the past 3 cycles after ovulation and pretty sure it was a cyst so hopefully got more of a chance this time, oh and for someones who isn't symptom spotting ive spent an awfully long time reading 'implantation cramps' threads on here this morning, what a way to spend my saturday!

 

[star25]

How is everyone this morning?
I'm at work at the moment, got a back ache bit thats probably coz I'm in the kitchen , yesterday I had a little bit of red cm on toilet paper, it was literally about 3mm and was like a -tmi!- jelly/stretchy little blob
Ive decided I'm hopeless at not symptom spotting, im going to be disappointed if I get af either way so I may as well give in and do it!

Hope everyone is well xx

 

[cntrygrl]

Star-- It's hard to not symptom spot. As soon as you are actively TTC you want every thing you feel to mean that you're pregnant. Certainly does get disappointing everytime AF shows. We push on because we're all strong women like that.

 

[Noele0002]

Star- I totally agree!! I feel the exact same... We are going to be disappointed no matter what if AF shows. I'm really hoping that that was implantation bleeding for you Fingers crossed!! How many more days do you have left in the TWW??

Hope everyone had a good weekend!! Some of you ladies have to be getting close to ovulation or at least your fertile week Good luck catching the eggs ladies!!

AFM- I have no clue what's going on with my FF.... My temps are not up at all. Fertility friend still hasn't confirmed ovulation so I am wondering since I got a positive opk soooo early compared to normal that maybe my body geared up to O early because of the new meds and then didn't for some reason... Who knows. I will just have to wait and see. Wish I could have done a progesterone test this cycle but I didn't want to since the last one costed me 100+ $$ I haven't lost all hope but after 5 rounds of fertility meds I'm not sure that they are going to do the trick. I wish we could just moved forward with IUI but we have more testing to do first. DH has his second (redo) SA this Friday. I am anxious to know the results already!!!

 

[star25]

Hi all, I'm not being too bad, I'm only spotting symptoms that are different to my last 2 cycles of Clomid so telling myself thats ok lol
Hope the second sa goes well noele, my dh has had about 4 ranging from 13mil. With 84 mil being the most recent which is good for the Clomid I hope
Hope you have ovulated this cycle, I agree though it's hard not to have the monitoring,are you having a scan?
I have no different news today, no cramps yet which I'm pleased about so far as I always take that as a sign of being out, even though u can get cramps in pregnancy mine are just so bad I know I'm out when I get them
I'm on cd24 today so have about 6-7 day's left going by last 2 cycles xx

 

[Noele0002]

Star- No scan or anything for me this cycle. If AF shows up than I am supposed to go in on cd 3 for my first ultrasound to check for cysts and stuff. Depending on the results (if there are cysts then we are going to do a lap) if everything checks out good than there are some other blood tests he want to do. It's always a waiting game lol Well I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you that AF stays far away mine is due anywhere from 6-9 days from now. My luteal phase isn't always the same length every month. It varies from 11-13 days.

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- It's odd that it hasn't given you your crosshairs yet, but you got a positive OPK so you know you ovulated. I'm not sure how to force crosshairs either. I'll read up on it and see if I can't find it.

 

[Noele0002]

Cntrygrl- Well that's the problem with OPKs... A positive opk confirms an LH surge but it does not confirm ovulation. Your body can send out a LH surge then not ovulate. The only reason I know of all this is because my very first cycle on Clomid I had a positive opk on cd 15 (which is a little bit on the early side for me) then negative OPKs until cd 19 and I had another positive opk. So everything I've read online suggested that my body was getting ready for ovulation but didn't follow through until a later time. But anyways, about my temps... I think they are high enough to suggest ovulation but not sure why FF isn't confirming... Weird!! Thanks for all your insight though

 

[tundralife2]

Hey ladies! Happy Monday, or is it lol! ;-)

Danni- sorry AF got you and really am wishing and hoping the best for you so that you can get the IUI done this cycle. I am hoping your lining is not too thin.

Noele- I wish I knew how to help with the FF thing but I have never used that site or taken BBT's so I dunno on that one girl. Maybe you missed testing or something this time? I get more than one +opk so I remember you saying that you weren't good this time with using the OPK's. Hopefully you will get it figured out and FF lets you know how many DPO you are.

Star- symptom spot away lady lol. We all do it even though we try not too. It's just really hard and clomid makes it harder sometimes because it can give you feelings of pregnancy. Dang that clomid--

Cntry grl- hoping all is well with you this cycle. You seem pretty chill about everything. I wish you sucess..one of us has to get the BFP soon!!

AFM I am about CD10 and dh and I Bd'd last night and he asked me if I want to BD again tonight. See, crazy stuff because I'm not at O. I bet when I get to that time it will be a different story. So I am deciding if I want to even use the OPK's this cycle or not. I have been using them for the past 3 but I'm not on clomid now and not really into this cycle so I'm like blah blah blah, you know. I'm sure I will have a weak moment and get some. I need to get them WEdnesday or could possibly be too late for me as I have been O'ing on CD15-17. Nothing really exciting going on here, just waiting to O! ;-)

 

[Dannixo]

Update- hey ladies. Hope everyone is doing good. I called the doctor today and they want to bring me in for a mid cycle ultrasound tomorrow at 9:30. I guess to see if my lining thicken back up before starting my last and final round of clomid. Ill be cycle day 5 tomorrow and I always start clomid 3-7 so maybe the change of days will do it for us. Praying we make it to the iui this this!

 

[star25]

praying it works out for you too dannixo , hope scan goes well xx

Noele - I never even knew that about opks, that it only confirms LH not ovulation, see - thats why I dont use them as Im hopeless!
We all have to get our bfp's soon I think weve waited long enoiugh now

cntrygrl - You're right, we are all strong women, we must be after continuing on after all the hurdles we have to get over, we will be rewarded soon enough I hope for our patience

Tundralife - It sounds like you're going for a more relaxed cycle, lets hope DH will BD at the best times for ovulation, maybe do you good not to have the opks and just carry on more relaxed, my DH asked me how many more cycles of clomid I have left and I said 3 so he said 'we better get on it next month' very romantic lol but at least it shows he knows he was aggrevating this cycle around ovulation!

AFM -
Yesterday had some cramping for about 15 mins but is earlier than the last 2 cycles
Today my boobs are a bit achy which is earlier than last 2 cycles too
The day after having the red cm on paper I had a tiny tiny bit the same but it was brown
Ive hardly got any white CM like I have the last 2 cycles where theres been alot

So thats whats different this time, will it just be another different clomid cycle or something more I hope

Hugs to all xx

 

[cntrygrl]

Noele-- Yeah I forgot about that part with OPK's.

Tundra-- Just trying to stay calm and positive. I am really nervous about the IUI next cycle and worried about having another miscarriage if I do get pregnant again.

Danni-- Good Luck with the appt. I have everything crossed for you that your lining is thick enough and you are able to go through with the IUI. Btw I'm a Dani also

Star--Hopefully that spotting is some implantation bleeding. When will you be testing?

AFM-- (TMI was really gassy last night, blech) The boobs are already starting to get sore, my stuffy nose is back, and some back pains.

 

[Noele0002]

Tundralife- Yeah I'm kind of giving up analyzing my FF chart this cycle... To confusing and I bet your right, since I missed so many days temping and OPKs that's why FF is probably confused! Lol whatever it doesn't matter, I will find out soon enough if AF shows or not. As for you, I'm glad your DH is wanting to bd even if it is a few days earlier than ovulation. Remember, they say bd'ing early is better than late because the little swimmers can take a day or to just to find the egg and it is best of they are there waiting for the egg!! Good luck to you

Dannixo- Wishing you the best at your appointment!!! Fingers are crossed that your lining is thick enough and you can go forward with the IUI!!!


Star- About the OPKs... It's not very common that your body will send out an LH surge without ovulation but it does happen. I think says somewhere on the box or in the directions that it does not confirm ovulation. As for you, those sound like some really promising symptoms!!! Fingers are crossed for you Have you ever had bleeding or spotting that early?

Cntrygrl- Were those some of the same symptoms you had with you last BFP? Babydust to you

Nurse- How are you doing? You've been quiet lately! Hope your doing well

AFM- I'm either 7 or 8dpo and no symptoms or cm of any kind. AF should be here between 4-7 days!! I will probably poas in about 4 days since I still have about 40 internet cheapies to waste ;-)

 

[Dannixo]

Well my cd 5 scan went better than expected. I had a few small cysts but nothing to prevent her from giving me clomid. We had the choice to try 109 again or stay at 50. We chose to stay at 50 since I hyper stimulate on 100. So hoping my lining stays thick this time. We have a cd 14 ultrasound on May 9th. Will know more then. Possible iui and trigger shot. The good news we got scheduled with the good fertility specialist May 8th to see about a lap and dye test and hsg. Hoping to finally get some answers!

 

[star25]

Hi
Noele - I havent had bleeding that early before, especially not blood in ewcm but I won't gey hopes up too much

Cntrygrl- I hope you have good news this cycle too, your symptoms sound good

Dannixo- yay your scan went well, hopefully you can do the iui this cycle heave you had other fertility tests before?

Afm - nothing new apart from I didnt say earlier I'm really tired but that could be due to work so won't count that one yet!
