Good luck. AF got me.

Got blood pregnancy test done on cycle day 30 after AF was late for so long. Results were neg.---AF came this evening. Time for round two! I'm going all out this time.

My temps finally just dropped. Starting round 2 tomorrow. Good luck

No one told me periods were worse on clomid. Now I know, the horror...

Such sad that it seems my thread has died off. I guess I'll just update for the sake of doing so, lol!
I took ovulation tests this cycle, and come to found out that I ovulate somewhere during 13th-14th! How bizarre. Either it just changed this cycle, or me and Doc had it all wrong! Either way, We've always made it a point to BD from the 13th to the 19th for good measure, so I feel no more or less optimistic about our chances of conceiving this month as I did last. But knowing the general time with little doubt makes me feel a bit more in control of the situation.
On the 13th day of my cycle, testing at 6pm the line was dark! Almost darker than the comparison line. The 14th around 2PM the line was just as dark as the 2nd line. Yesterday on Cycle day 16 at about 10 I decided to take an ovulation test out of curiosity since I was so close to my old suspected day of ovulation, and the results came back negative. So, I guess it puts that theory to bed!--- Only 9 days to my PoS day. I'll probably update here again when that happens.

Well I tested today with a first response. I'm 6 days before my missed period, and the test came back BFN. Guess I'll try again with another round of clomid.
If I fail again next month, I may break down and get another HSG test, despite how painful it was two years ago...But I'd like to get it done and over with because I suspect that if this continues on past 6 cycles they'll want to do it anyways. At least if I address it now, with the clomid in my system, I'll boost my chances even more of getting pregnant. After all, thats how I got pregnant the second time (even though I miscarried).

Hey Sugar

Sorry, didn't mean to drop off like that, but we kind of moved to a ntnp kind of slump. Although honestly it's more like just not trying, as it's now been almost 2 months since we last dtd. Cycle day 4 today, hoping I can get ahold of my doc tomorrow and start round 3 of Clomid tomorrow night.

Thought I'd try to join the group! I'm on my TWW after my first round of Clomid (50mg CD 5-9). I'm really not sure if I even ovulated...I used the advanced digital OPKs and I got 8 days of "high" fertility, but I never got that surge solid smiley so we'll see! My doctor is making me wait till CD 35 for get my progesterone/blood tests...I'm on CD 23 so it feels like it is forever away!!!! I'm trying not to obsess, but it is so hard after not having any hope for the past 5 months or so!

Hello dust and welcome

How did your tests go?

 

[VanillaSugar]

I finished my round three this cycle, and am currently waiting 5 more days before testing. I'm not holding out hope though. At this point I'm convinced that no matter what I do I'm just not going to get pregnant.
I still try all the same, but I just don't feel like it's a possibility anymore and that IVF will probably be the only solution.
I'm not sure if I'm ready for IVF...
I've already filled my last prescription for clomid, and it's here waiting for me when my next cycle starts. After that I'm assuming they're going to send me to another specialist.

I can relate, VS. I just did my 5th round of clomid - failed. I have one round left before we move on to something else. I don't know what that something else is, might be injectables - or IVF. If I had the money I'd do IVF in a heartbeat but I have no idea how I'd afford it.

It's so hard being in our early 20's with this problem. It's like the ultimate "my body is failing me"... I totally get everything you're going through right now. It sucks.

Massive hugs your way and I so hope this round gives you a sticky rainbow baby

 

[mommyhopeful2]

Well ladies, DH and I are finally jumping back on the ttc train after his SA has come back pretty much great, slightly high white blood cell count but the doc doesnt think it will be a problem.... next up is my ultrasound to check and make sure im not blocked up or anything..... Fx'd

 

[VanillaSugar]

Well, AF got me good. Cramps are super tollerable, I think because I've been working out and walking like 10x more than usual. But the blood. Oh my god, TMI, but it's not so much that I'm bleeding more I think, just that it seems to be runnier than usual. My flow has always been a bit slow and on the thick side, but now it's just like---everywhere. I slept on my back and it just went every where except where it was supposed to be...my pad. Thats the second time this cycle! Stuff like this never happens to me!
On a side note, Doc switched me off clomid, and onto another drug for the next 3 tries. I'm still going to be posting here when I can.
