What's going on today ladies?
I feel like I'm waiting on grandfather time here, AF is driving me crazy.. thought I was done today but nooo it's like watching paint dry. I just want to O already.

I'm right there with you! Stupid AF. Just hurry up already. Also, seems you missed me joining the fun. Can you pop me on the list for the 24th. Thanks!

Hi Ladies,

Just wondering if anyone else on Clomid has experience this?

Last cycle was my first cycle on 100 mg of Clomid.

I did not get pregnant. Got my period after 30 days (normal for me) and now I'm on CD 4 and I am still getting hot flashes that feel like the ones I had when I first started taking the pills.

I actually can't continue with the Clomid due to vision side effects that my doctor thought were too risky. So that's all I took. 100 mg last CD 5-9 and I am still occasionally getting hot flashes? Anyone else experience this??

Hoping it's not something more serious...

Got a positive opk today I think will be testing again in a few minutes seems a little early.....anyhow I have cheapie hpts so will probably test around 10 dpo thats usually when I crack.

Hey annie!
I'm so sorry you're having those issues. Did he offer any other options? What if you take 50 in the morning then again later?
I'm also cd4 today and took the first 100 last night before bed. Luckily no side effects.
I took my 2nd just earlier and so far I'm ok. No hot flashes yet..but the last time it wasn't till the 3rd time that I had them. I am however having these weird, stabby leg pains. Almost feels like I'm being jabbed in the knee with a pencil..ugh.

Praying this is our month! I'm getting sick of temping and I know the beeps are starting to drive H crazy lol

 

[RubysMommy]

I'd like to join as well! My periods are still wonky with breastfeeding, but if you could put me down for testing Aug 28, that should be about the time AF is due. Thanks!

LOL - the beeps driving H crazy - YES! I know they must be! They drive me crazy! I actually didn't temp this morning because I was just like F it.

So during my first round last month on the night of the fourth pill I started having crazy vision issues...like in my peripheral vision there will fireworks going off and trails of light and if I waved my hand, my hand would have a trail of hands behind it...trippy stuff. I called the RE after taking the fourth but before taking the fifth pill and it was an on call doctor. He said STOP. Then when I saw my RE last week, she like yeah that is a rare but serious side effect and if you keep taking Clomid or anything like it you could have a stroke. AWESOME. I swear you cannot write this stuff! You just can't make it up if you tried!

Soooooo I hope these hot flashes stop eventually considering it's been about 30 days or so since my last pill. But I just thought I'd see if anyone else had a similar experience...

Not sure about your leg pain...certainly hope things just go smoothly for you and yes I so so so so so hope this is our month! Hope you had a wonderful anniversary. I know you were kind of busy with home stuff...joy! Been there! Well still there but we're sloooooow about it...
Ah enough rambling...NIGHT!

Ok...seriously, a stroke?!?! Wtf?! I have never heard nor read (perhaps I was skimming while reading side affects). I'll have to talk to the OB about the leg pain..hoping it's not like a clot forming..
I seriously hope your vision improves and you're able to talk to the RE about it. Strokes are not to be taken lightly

Have a great night hun!

Morning

Not a lot going on other than work on such a glorious day boo !! and waiting for af to show her ugly face its weird as normally you don't want her to come but now I can't wait so I get move on to the next month of trying and I am not the best person for waiting I did drive myself a bit nuts this month with symptom spotting and counting how many dpo I plan to be a little bit more relaxed about it this month.
I didn't temp in July but I think I will give it ago this month and see what happens not sure my husband will be impressed with the beeping hes not a morning person !
Any nice plans for the weekend ?

I'm not temping, don't want to get too involved seeing as once this month is over we won't be considering trying again until next year. It's depressing that even though my fertile days start today and ovulation in over the weekend-ish that I can't test or won't know until the 21st, that's so far away! Planning to keep myself very very busy to distract myself until then. AF is due on 19th, so if it shows up bang on time at least that'll answer it either way.

That does seem so far away, then once it's here in all "where did the month go?"

You couldn't have said it better. Getting AF is a pain in the arse but I somewhat looked forward to it just to move on to the next cycle.
As for weekend plans H and I both have work so there won't be much time to do anything. I'm not worried though, my fertile window doesn't start till Tues/Wed so there's no pressure to get it on lol. .. Not till next weekend ;-)

 

[Lithodora]

The weekend seems so far away right now, 4 long days of work between me and it! We're going to a friends party Saturday after work, then chilling, getting work done around the house, and making the most of ovulation being those days too

 

[Emski51]

Yea shame its not Friday already (really should stop wishing my life away) ! don't have a lot planed for the weekend we only recently moved into our new house so most of our weekends have been taken up with painting, pulling up floor's etc... might do some gardening and go see the in laws living life to the max I know

 

[Lithodora]

Sounds just like my week every week Emski!

 

[MnGmakes3]

Emski, I'm jealous... .I couldn't keep a plant alive if I tried. We do have a tree that's now about 2 yrs old but I think hubby talks to it or something lol
I'm surprised it's still growing AND green.
We always talk about starting a garden but the neighbors cucs and 'maters grow through the fence so we steal those instead

 

[Emski51]

I am pretty new to the whole gardening thing my mother in law loves gardening and has basically set us up I did help we have a little veg patch that does seem to going pretty well I haven't killed any of the plants yet but there is still time

Good idea nicking the neighbors lol

 

[Baby.Love12]

Here is my opk from last night........does it look positive? I guess when I check today I will get my answer. See if it is lighter or darker.....thanks ladies.

 

[Lithodora]

Gardening must go hand in hand with settling down/ttc My best friend spent last weekend doing the garden of her new house with her husband. Argh that sentence is all kinds of old, what happened to me and her doing shots in niteclubs and kissing boys!
