First Clomid cycle - LH surge this morning!

[BabyChristie]

Hope you don't mind but just wanted to post because I'm very excited! I have been ttc in total for 9 years now, although my first marriage unfortunately broke up several years ago and I remarried again this year so there has been some time off, but to me the longing for a baby of my own has been there for what seems like forever.

But, the good news is that I am on my first Clomid cycle and its day 14 today. Had an ultrasound on Tues which showed 3 growing follicles - 24mm on the left and 12mm and 16mm on the right. No LH surge on Tues (OPK completely blank), but OPK's showed a growing darker line yesterday morning and by yesterday evening the test line was almost but not quite the same as the control line. This morning I did a digital Clearblue OPK and got a big smiley face!

I know its early days but its nice to know that there are follicles there and ovulation is imminent. Time to up the BD frequency!

It would be SO wonderful to get a this month as I have a lap op booked on 17th November and would really rather not have it!

Wish me luck!!!

That's great news and it all sounds positive for a BFP this month!

I too am on my first round of clomid although I am not having scans, I took clomid 50mg CD2-CD6, I am now on CD10 and waiting for ovulation. I done an OPK this morning and there was a really faint line so hopefully should get darker over the next couple of days. I'm going away for weekend with OH for his birthday tomorrow so should get plenty of BDing!!

Best of luck for your BFP

Good luck to you too! We are also going away this weekend, although think it will be a bit late for me then having had the surge today but who knows.

If you've got the feint line today, you should get yours very soon so all the best. Here's hoping we will both be lucky this month.

Have a great weekend - enjoy!

[wish2bmama]

to us all!!! Looks like I O'd on cd 15 or cd 16. CRAZY early! Never happened before! In the 2ww now... and I can't wait for it to end in a BFP!!!

 

[BabyChristie]

This 2ww business is not fun is it? I'm about 6 dpo now and have my blood test tomorrow to confirm ovulations. AF is due next Thurs / Fri and even as I type this, I have a (probably imaginary) twinge low down on the right - just because I know that implantation WOULD happen in the next few days if I am to get the this month. And I'm really moody, weepy and angry. Oh, let the 2ww symptom spotting begin!

DancingKaty1 - glad that the follies are growing well and good luck with the OPK. Hope you get that surge soon but in the meantime, keep up with the regular BDing!!

Wish2BMama - looks like the clomid brought your ovulation forwards? A good sign perhaps as doing anything different from cycles that haven't been successful must be a good thing!

Keeping everything crossed for us this month - to us all!!!

Ooh, how exciting!! Definitely hitting the right time with the BDing - keep it up tonight!

Today is 7dpo and have creamy cm and a headache to add the list. Cramps kept up for a couple of hours last night - not too bad, just noticeable and a bit uncomfortable - but gone today. Made the obsessing worse by looking at this site: https://www.twoweekwait.com/bfpsymptoms/dpo/index.html and noticed that loads of people on there got implantation cramps for a bit on 6dpo. Trying not to get hopes up though - have been doing this too long to take other people's symptoms as a guide!

Keep us posted with your progress in the 2ww...

Ok, so now my BBs really HURT across the top of my chest and feel quite heavy. What's that about?! (8dpo) Never get sore BBs with AF - no matter how hard I poke them!

 

[nicola123]

Loving the symptoms babychristie they sound VERY encouraging - fingers crossed x will you test early or wait till AF is supposed to arrive????

Well BD again yesterday evening....I had to go round my friends for dinner and to help her make wedding invites so had to fit a quick one in!! Showed OH the positive OPK and he said 'what you still doing with your clothes on!' bless him so pleased he is on board with the TTC business. Also put legs in the air afterwards for 20 mins - really don't know if this would help but quite willing to try anything!! Think will BD again this evening just in case....

Any sign of a positive on the OPK's dancingkaty?

A ton of baby dust to all xx

 

[Dancingkaty1]

hi nicola123....no, no sign of positive opk yet...started to test with my clear blue digital kit this morning....i usually get the smiley face on day 16 which will be mon....dunno if there is a chance it may come earlier or later as 1st cycle of clomid & using epo??? we are going away sat night so will still dtd lots even if i dont get smiley face

Fingers crossed! Will wait until after AF is due to arrive I think - I HATE getting a so never test unless I'm late.

Glad you managed to get the Bding in! It's so romantic, isn't it! I do the legs in the air thing too - bum on a cushion for minimum of 30 mins.

Will keep my fingers crossed for you too - let us know if you get any symptoms soon!

[nicola123]

There may be a chance it does come early because I know that it has brought my ovulation day forward on clomid CD16/17 previously anything up to CD34!!! Would be good timing if you did get a smiley face on saturday. Hope you have a nice time away - I'm sure you will

Then you will be joining me in the 2ww.

 

[nicola123]

Babychristie - I know what you mean about BFN, I was completely crushed last time but PMA for this cycle. I hope this 2ww goes quick!!

 

[wish2bmama]

Babychristie, good looking symptoms! Fingers x for you!

Dancingkaty1, hope you get the pos opk soon!! Then you can join the 2ww. GOSH I hate it. I had some hurting twinges in my bbs yesterday and a dull crampy feeling in my uterus and ovary areas since ov. Im 5 dpo today. I hope, hope, hope, hope this is it and get a bfp!

Fingers super duper crossed for all of us!

I know what you mean nicola, I would do anything if it will help! Pillow under butt, lay down on my back for 30 mins, then turn over to my left side (my left tube is open) to help the spermies swim that way for 2 hours. The list goes on. lol.
