First Clomid Cycle Buddy?

[sarlar]

questions for anyone who has had an hsg....immediately after the hsg i had a scant amount of spotting but it went away and i felt great by last night. today also i felt normal, no spotting etc. now tonight i just went to the bathroom and when i wiped it was all blood. is this normal??

 

[MrsJA]

Hi girls!

Sarlar, I think a bit of bleeding is quite common after a HSG. I had some the day of the HSG and the following day. I don't suppose you ever spot during ovulation do you?
I hope the next couple of weeks go quickly for you, so you can get started on clomid (assuming you don't get your BFP in the meantime of course. You never know!!)

Lola, I'm with you on the testing. I have a pathological fear of the BFN these days. Although strangely I always feel better after I've tested. I think it's because I work myself into such a state about the testing, and usually do it at 3am because I want to use the good pee! When that BFN turns up, at least I get to stop stressing about the test and move on.

I say all that, but in the last 18 months, I have still tested pretty much every 2WW. The waiting gets too much for me in the end and I have to know - especially cos my cycles are so long and unpredictable. There has only been one month in that whole time that the has been able to sneak up on me before I peed on the stick!

Kel, your clumpy CM sounds like a good sign!! What DPO are you???
Re your question about cycle length and today being day 28..the shortest cycle I've ever had was 35 days and the longest was 56. So who knows? Still a couple of days to go I reckon. I want to know when you're going to test!

TTC, the sore BB's are standard PMS for me I'm afraid. Happens every month, so probably not a pg sign. Plus I am super weepy today, so I think it's a PMS double whammy all round. Maybe I should go and POAS so I can at least have a glass of wine to console myself!!

Happy weekend ladies

mrsja - yeah go pee on a stick if it makes you feel better...I tend to be a bit more lola, but my cycles are pretty normal....so most of the time af gets me.

sarlar - how heavy is your bleeding, what color is it????....I bleed for much longer than the dr told me I would, but my cervix was off to one side so he had a much harder time getting in there and I think the increased poking and proding caused me to bleed longer.

hello ladies, me is back and i first thing this morning i took a hpt and i got a big fat NEGATIVE my period isnt due till sometime this weekend so im not going to look into it too much yet if by tuesday my period hasnt arrived im guna do my test then, as i ovulated 13days ago now ...... it really hurt to get tht negative

Also kel, i too have also noticed thick chunks of white/ yellow cm but i am not experiencing any pains anymore just very very super tender boobie, they have gone rock hard aswell.....

Welcome to the group all newbies, after my hsg sarlar i also had slight bleeding, if i remember rightly it was like havinga mini period, hope all u ladies are ok .... im keeping my fingers crossed for a no show this weekend xxxxx Babydut to everyone x

 

[ttcbaby117]

chez - sorry about your bfn, but you arent out of the game yet....I hate those bfn's it really makes me not want to test.....

 

[chezneyboo]

chez - sorry about your bfn, but you arent out of the game yet....I hate those bfn's it really makes me not want to test.....

i feel sad thanks for the support ttc xxxx

 

[lola13]

Chin up, Chez! I know it's heartbreaking to see a BFN, but you're not late yet.

Jess, regarding your long cycles, are your luteal phases generally consistent? The variation should be in the first half, so if you know when you OV'd, maybe you can predict how much longer. Hope that makes sense.

TTC, I am incredibly jealous of your location. I was destined to be a beach bum, but took a wrong turn & ended up in Ohio.

Trying not to symptom spot & chalking everything up to clomid at this point. The sleepless nights are getting old & making my typically short fuse a bit shorter. I continue to eat for a small village.

 

[ttcbaby117]

hahaha lola....yeah well, it is really nice to live here but it does have it's drawback...esp when ttc, half the time, I cant find any opk's, shipping things here is literally impossible unless you want to wait 2 weeks and then have everyone on the island know you are ttc, b/c you ordered opks, sperm friendly lub, and soft cups and everyone knows everyone and they all love to gossip...hahaha....so needless to say if I cant go to the states to get this stuff myself then I am not getting it.

chez - I am sending you tons and tons of hugs!!!!!

 

[sarlar]

stay positive chez ill be thinking about you lots in the next week. hopefully that second line will appear next week!!

thanks for the thoughts on the hsg. it seems it is like a light period now. it is dark red colored. my uterus was also tilted to the left so maybe that is why. i have a dr. appt today so ill get his advice on it while i am there. thanks ladies!!

keep thinking positive ladies

 

[daisii]

AWWWW Chez, so sorry to hear your BFN but it's not over yet!

I am 5 or 6 dpo, no symptoms at all!

Hope everyone else is good and that all is going well!

 

[caz & bob]

its not over till she show her ugly face hun just try and not to think about it i no its hard xx xx

 

[MrsJA]

Ahhh Chez, sorry to hear about the BFN sweetie. How I hate the BFN!
See how you go over the weekend and maybe have another try, if you're up to it. How many DPO are you now?

Daisi, nice to see you! How you coping with the 2WW? Going nuts yet??

Lola, I think my LP is usually around 12-14 days. So assuming I'm right about my O day, the witch should be here Tuesday - Thursday next week. We will see eh?
I am glad to hear you are still eating for a small village - it makes me feel better about the pizza I ate last night! Shame about the insomnia though... I hope it all pays off for you with a BFP!

TTC I love your location too! My best friend lives on Grand Cayman and she says that, about locals and gossip as well. It's like a small town isn't it?

Sarlar, good luck at the docs today, tell us what he/she says..

Happy Saturday ladies!

 

[sarlar]

Hey girls! For all you ladies post ovulation lotsa good thoughts for bfps, and for those near ovulation hoping for super spermies!!

Doc appointment today was good. Reaffirmed in more detail both tubes are clear and SA looks great! sperm count is actually 30 so higher than the cutoff. Scheduled my appointments for progesterone level, hcg level. picked up my prescriptions for provera and clomid 50 mg, so now is just waiting! AND hey you never know...maybe ill ovulate on my own this month...if so i would be ovulating this weekend!! not stressing cause i know the chances of that are slim and i am totally prepared to start the clomid. I will be taking clomid 50 mg days 5-9, anticipating starting around beginning to mid may depending on the af and if it comes on its own or if provera is needed. we will see just thankful for positive test results! Nothing can stand in our way now !!!! have a good weekend all and...

Hi ladies,

Had a busy day at work today and to top it off found out that we have an Ofsted inspection next Tuesday and Wednesday! Just brilliant!

Apart from that I am feeling ok today, still been having twinges, little pains a flutterings on the left hand side of my womb area. Other symptoms??? include funny taste in my mouth, being moist down below and sore and erect nipps. On CD 25 today and 9DPO so still early to test... I will probably leave testing until my period is late. CD28 is Monday but AF turned up early last cycle.

Chez: Sorry about the BFN....you are not out of it yet though so try to stay positive...do you feel like AF is on her way?

MrsJA: I just can't bring myself to even buy a test...don't want to be disappointed! Hope you are feeling less weepy today, I have been soooo emotional too

Bluebell: Welcome aboard..hope you stay is short and sweet!

Sarlar: Glad the HSG went well chuck... I did not experience any bleeding but pleased it has stopped now.

Lola: Big waves - looks like we are quite close on out cycle days....good luck chuck!

Dasii: Sending you lots of babydust...the 2ww is killing me!

Off to bed now ladies....

Kel xx

Morning Ladies,
Can't believe how much I'm actually looking forward to arriving so I can start my first cycle of Clomid! Just got the usual spotting so far, which is now day 4. Since I had a chemical in January I always spot for 7 days before , so she can't be far away.

Must admit having read several reviews, I'm getting a bit nervous about possible side affects. Would you say it's best to take it at night, so you don't have so many side affects during the day?

Sending to everyone.

xx

Hi Girls. Love catching up on your posts in the morning!

Kel, your symptoms sound promising! Are sore (.)(.)s normal for you? I just realized we both started ttc at the same time (April 2007) & both unexplained. Pulling for you in a major way

Blue, I wouldn't worry too much about side effects. They seem like nothing more than an annoyance to most of us. You may want to stock up on pre-seed or another sperm friendly lub. Although I was on 100mg & still had EWCM.

My (.)(.) soreness started yesterday, right on time with my typical symptoms. It makes me feel like this is just another "scrambled egg" cycle. I want to feel differently! I know it can go either way, but it did sort of take the wind out of my sails.

I just want to say I'm very grateful for all of you - sounds cheezy but I mean it! I was browsing the regular TTC & TWW boards yesterday and felt deflated. I came back to this one & my spirits lifted. It helps so much to have a common thread (pun intended).

 

[daisii]

hi girls!
MrsJA you are right the TWW is killing me! at least tomorrow it will be the 1WW!!!!!! I don't really have any symptoms, slightly funny pains low on the right, but i get odd pains anyway 'cos of endo, or it could just be gas!!!! no sore boobs or anything! Still not over yet by a long shot! 7 more days!

Kel, i feel so sorry for you I am a teacher too and ofsted is horrendous! I am midlands based too, infact I have friends who work at a primary who have ofsted mon and tues too (maybe its the same school!!!!). They were put into special measures and the stress they have all been under is phenominal! But al least yours will be over by wednesday and it will keep your mind off testing! Though I'm not sure whats worse ofsted or the TWW, ofsted probably gets it!!!! Stick with it though, I'll be thiking about you and let me know how it goes. My school got notice to improve 8 months ago so we are due one any day.

hope everyone else is doing well,

hello again ladies, im back and still with no witch wow, lots going on here Sarlar thats great news everything is gonig well... ur heading in the right direction now
Blue bell for me it wasnt really the side effects of taking the tablets its the side affects during the ovulation and then the 2 weeks after.

Well im now 14dpo and tht old witch should be showing her face soon or hopefully not... not sure when to test again cos tht bfn really blew me.
Also iv had a horrifc shock ive put 4lbs on in 1 week, i mean how the hell does tht happen, but i have been super hungary... which i hear is another side effect, positvie thinking anyway ladies, sending u all my love, and as much baby dust out there for at least 1 bfp this cycle xxxx

Also i would like to add ive very grateful for all the support u guys shown me, i couldnt get thru this without u and the support will be there for u also but hopefully u wont need it i think i am making some great frineds on here xxx

 

[ttcbaby117]

morning ladies!

blue - dont worry about the s/e, I only had slight headaches, which I managed to combat by taking my pill right before I went to sleep. You will be a bit more crampy during ovulation also....dont worry about it...the s/e are worth the possibility of that BFP!
Kel - nice symptoms, keep up updated on that.

daisi - how long before you will test?
chez - I really hope you get the bfp!!!! Will you wait til monday to test?
sarlar - how are you feeling today? spotting gone yet?

well I thought I might have o'ed yesterday but my temp didnt spike today so i am thinkign I didnt. Other than waiting for O I am planning on going out and enjoying this gorgeous weather!

 

[daisii]

I hate the TWW, just went shopping to take my mind off it! But was walking around the shops thinking 'if it works this month i'll need maternity wear not new summer clothes'!!!!!!! So didn't really take my mind off it lol!!!!!

TTCbaby- I will put off testing as long as possible. that is until I crack, but not before 11/12dpo at the earliest!

good luck everyone
