First Clomid cycle - LH surge this morning!

[BabyChristie]

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!

Thanks so much Babymama - I'm trying not to get too hopeful but you know how it is! My BBs have been pretty much killing me all day - throbbing right across the top since about 10 am. Very painful. I never get this symptom with AF - but wondering if maybe the clomid might have something to do with it? Sore boobs is a side effect but thought that would be around day 2-6, not day 22?

Your symptoms sound good too - keeping everything crossed for us all!!

I had thought that too. That my symptoms are side effects from the clomid. I know had tons of side effects when I was taking the clomid (cd5-cd9) but they all went away by cd 11. So very odd. I can't really compare this cycle to my last clomid cycle because I was on the trigger shots, so I had hcg in my system anyway. Hope they are real symptoms for us!

 

[BabyChristie]

I also had quite a few side effects but they were gone by day 13 - headaches, exhaustion, very weepy. Have had a few 'episodes' of creamy cm in the past couple of days too. Quite emotional at mo, BBs still hurting...

I'm on day 22 of a 26-29 day cycle so looks like we might find out at about the same time? Everything crossed for the next week!!!

[wish2bmama]

yea! We will be testing around the same time!! and fingers x! Next week WILL be a great week!

 

[Dancingkaty1]

got my smiley face this morning.......this is my 1st cycle of clomid.....always get the smiley face on this day 15 but hoping the clomid will do its magic!! xx

 

[wish2bmama]

Yay Dancingkaty1!!! Get to !! Hope you catch that eggie!

 

[BabyChristie]

DancingKaty1 - hope you got plenty of BDing in this weekend! Fingers x for you this month!!!

Wish2Bmama - any symptoms yet? How are you feeling in the dreaded 2ww? When are you hoping to test?

I have my pre-op appointment this afternoon for my laparoscopy next Tuesday (if we don't succeed this month) - bit nervous but should be ok. Otherwise, BBs still quite sore and few pre-AF cramps here and there but no other signs really so probably just the clomid affecting me this month... AF due Weds - Fri this week so I'll have to see.

to us all this week....

xx

 

[Dancingkaty1]

babychristie....thank you, yes we went away sat night so dtd & we did last night too.....will make sure we do it tonight & 2moro night just to be safe lol...have got my last follicule scan wed at 8am ....they will tell me if i did def ov so hopefully i have....then i will be in the dreaded 2ww agghhh lol...

good luck for this afternoon....i have a feeling you wont even need to have it done tho xx

 

[BabyChristie]

Thanks DancingKaty1 - glad you are covering all bases with the BDing, no harm in making sure!! I hope your scan goes ok. I didn't have one post-ov but a blood test instead an am waiting for nurse to call today with results.

Still up and down with feeling positive and then negative - usual 2ww stuff. BBs not quite so sore now so wondering if they are just AF linked and due to the clomid. No other major symptoms so not feeling particularly hopeful - i HATE this bit!!

Hope your 2ww goes ok - good luck!!!!

xx

 

[BabyChristie]

AAAAAGGHHH! Just spoke to the nurse - firstly good news, progesterone level on day 21 was at 59 so have ovulated well (anything over 30 is good apparently).

Then I asked her about the clomid sore BBs side effect and she said that it is usually when you take the drug between day 2-6 rather than later in your cycle. She said that this is a very good sign and I need to do a pregnancy test at the end of the week. Now my little hopes are getting up and I'm soooo worried it might come crashing down around my ears, again. How can I get through the next 4 days waiting for AF????? Stupid I know, but its really upset me.

xx

 

[Dancingkaty1]

Aww you shouldnt feel upset you have had great news!!! 59 is great!! think mine was 64 in august....until AF comes you have no need to wory....think positive hun & u might just get that BFP xxxx

 

[wish2bmama]

Babychristine, I just have twinges in my bbs. And.. tmi... gassy.. I have my cd23 bloods today to see if I O'd. Ugh... the 2ww. lol. The earliest I can test is Wed, so I think I'll test then and if a BFN I'll wait until af is late (hope it is!)

That's great news about your progesterone! The nurse seems to be really pos! Fingers x for you this is it!

 

[BabyChristie]

Thanks guys. Just back from pre-op lap appointment - all booked in for 8 days time if no this week. Will try my hardest to remain positive - it is all good news so far I know.

Wish2bmama - will keep everything crossed for you if you are going to test on Weds!!! Think I'm going to wait until Friday - I'm on day 25 and usually have a 26 or 28 day cycle. Sore BBs and a no show on Friday would be a good enough reason to test. Only a few more days to go.... Stay away from us

[wish2bmama]

Thanks babychristine! AF is due on sunday... I will be testing kinda early.. but I mc my last pregnancy so I figure the sooner we find out the better chance I have to catch a problem or something.
I had a lap and dye in June. Found out my tubes were closed and the were able to open one with the dye! I was sick afterwards.. but it only lasted a day or so. But I hope you don't have to have it!!

How is everyong doing? Any new symptoms?

 

[BabyChristie]

So sorry to hear about your mc wish2bmama - will pray for that and a very sticky bean.

Symptoms so far:

6dpo - cramps for a couple of hours in the evening (very unusual this early)
8dpo until now - very painful BBs and sore nips (never had these in my life!)
Otherwise, few AF cramps but not many, slight cm increase from 6-9dpo, bit tired and headachey, possibly nauseous for about half an hour this afternoon but could have been hosp appt nerves!, weepy and angry at different times and my blood pressure was low today, which is also unusual. But all these could be explained away with other things! Grrrrrr!!

What about you?

[wish2bmama]

Those are awesome symptom! The sore nips are a good sign. I have very little symptoms...

Light cramping after ov to present. Twinges in bbs, but not sore. Gassy. I am very weepy though. I cried when I saw a man holding a flag. I've had all but the weepyness last cycle. So I am starting to get a tad doubtful. I am 8 dpo now. Trying to be pos.

 

[BabyChristie]

Aah, don't give up hope. I've seen postings from people who had practically no symptoms in the month they got a so until its over you never know and every pregnancy is different apparently. Keep your chin up for these last couple of days until you find out. I have everything crossed for you so hopefully that will help!!

I have a horrible headache today and feel pretty rough, but that's not so unusual before AF. My OH is convinced I am this time and I'm pretty convinced I'm not. These next 72 hours can't go by quickly enough until I know either way.

Take care...

Babychristie and wish2bmama - how exciting, I've got my fingers crossed for you. You must let us know after you test.

Well for the first time I have charted my temp on FF and they have confirmed ovulation on CD18 (which ties in with the results of the OPK's). So I'm 4 DPO and absolutely no symptons....but then I wouldn't really expect to!

 

[wish2bmama]

Fingers x for you Nicola!!

Thanks Nicola. As you say 4 dpo is too early but its the nice time of the cycle where you can sit back, think positively and urge the little sperm and egg concoction to travel down, get nice and comfy and think about attaching in the next few days. Keep us posted with progress! Good luck and

As for me, my nips are still killing me, I have felt really headachey, tired and nauseous today but that's probably just worrying constantly about AF coming. And I do have a few twinges and pains in my tummy and lower back which makes me think that the witch might be on her way. Hate this bit so much!
