First clomid cycle...anyone else????

[babytee44]

Oh yours is very close! Maybe ovulate tomorrow?

Last month I got my first positive on Saturday night, was still positive Sunday and Monday morning. AF came Monday night two weeks later... So based on all of that, I should get my first positive tonight, ovulate Wednesday... but who knows if my body will be super cranky!

I'm trying to stay relaxed about it, as I know stressing doesn't help anything. Last month I was super down in the dumps and worried I would never ovulate the day I got my first positive. I'm kinda feeling the same way today (worried it won't turn positive even with the meds), but realistically I know I still have like 4-5 more days before I have to be concerned it didn't work. And I know that my OPKs go from virtually no line to positive very quickly.

I'm telling you all this just to re-assure myself I want so bad for this to be our month (for SOOO many reasons). I personally am just relying on God to take control of the situation. I am doing everything I can to make it happen, so it's out of my control.

Hi ladies,

Can I join in? We've been TTC for 14 months with no luck.
I start my first clomid cycle on CD2 of my next AF.

Welcome to the party CakeCottage ! I was going to make a clever little joke about how you're bringing the "cake" to the party.. but then I thought better of it

Where are you in your current cycle?

Good luck!

 

[CakeCottage]

Haha I'll bring cake
I'm around 5 DPO, AF is due on Sat then I'll be due to start clomid on Sunday (if she arrives on Sat)
Hoping I may not need it but that's highly doubtful considering we've been TTC for 16 cycles!

I feel ya! It definitely seems like it will never happen, but every time you ovulate there is a 33% chance of getting preggers! That's actually pretty good odds

We've been trying for 14 months, but with my irregular cycles (before clomid) that only equates to about 8 cycles :-/ And since I either miscalculated the ovulation or it didn't happen altogether, hubby and I guess we've only had 2-3 real good tries...

Have you been ovulating every month? What kind of tracking are you doing?

 

[CakeCottage]

I've only had 1 anovulatory cycle in that time (I know I'm lucky to have had such good cycles) but OH's SA showed his motility was a bit on the slow side! FS has given us 6 months of clomid and we're to see if anything happens and if not we are to have ICSI x

 

[babytee44]

That's awesome you are typically regular. Hopefully the clomid does the trick!

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between ICSI and IVF? Do you happen to know? I'll probably look it up later tonight either way

I just took another OPK about an hour ago (because I am a worry wart and can't stop!). So this morning the test line was clearly negative. But this afternoon it was ALMOST positive whew! ovulation in the next two days! Can't wait for the hubs to get home so we can spend some quality time together

How is your Tuesday going?!

 

[CakeCottage]

IVF is where they put the egg and sperm in the Petri dish and let them do their business, ICSI is where they extract a good sperm from the sample and inject it directly into the egg!

My Tuesday hasn't been too bad, first day back in work after being off for three weeks! How about you?
Ooh good luck ;-) xx

Had the scan today to find out if comid worked! To find out my right side is still holding on, and my left side has one that may develop have to go back next week for more scans and if I haven't ovulated by then an injection

 

[babytee44]

Thanks cake! Glad to know the difference!

I FINALLY got a clear positive this morning on my opk... I was definitely getting discouraged. DH and I were able to BD last night before he left for work and I'm hoping I can catch him again tomorrow morning when he gets home from work! Tonight I work late and he'll be gone before I get home

Glad to hear about the scan Kira! Keep us updated for sure!

[CakeCottage]

Day 2 of cycle... Day 1 of Clomid!! First cycle!!!

Goo luck everyone
I think I finally got my positive opk today is cd 22

 

[babytee44]

Yay yay! Looks like a positive to me! Get to BDing and Good luck in the tww!

I believe I ovulated Saturday night or Sunday morning so I'm officially in the tww as well! Hopefully this time goes by fast and we get good news at the end... How is everyone else doing...


Also, for some reason I've become obsessed with the pregnancy test gallery... It's an addiction!

 

[bettybee1]

[bazzb]

Thanks Betty!!

[bazzb]

[CakeCottage]

That is one dark opk!! Get to it missy!! ;-)

I need to buy some OPKs (have tried to have the past few cycles as relaxed as possible with no OPKs and no temping!
Booked a scan in today for CD 11 to see how my ovaries are responding to Clomid! X

 

[bazzb]

Thanks!! You think it's positive for sure ??

Yay for a scan
I hope my next cycke is monitored
Good luck!!
