Day 5 of flashing smiley for me :( CD 19. With clomid I should have ovulated between last Sunday and last friday. Losing hope now. It this didn't work then I have to see the fertility specialist.

drjo, please don't lose hope...I didn't get a positive OPK until CD 20 (I used the solid smiley/open circle clearblue digital opk, not the advanced)....there is still hope for you! I've read so many cases online where clomid delayed O by more than a few days!
 
2014-12-14 18.34.37.jpg tonight's opk. I feel like it's so close, I just want that stupid solid smiley in the morning! Lots of ewcm the past several days.

Here is my trigger almost gone out of me and no more positive Opk! On to using suppositories incase I am preggo! I promise to keep all my buddies posted they said I'm not suppose to count a positive test till the 27th but if this trigger leaves and all the sudden I have a strong positive you know we all would take that as a positive haha. Oh and blood work 7 days past trigger to check progesterone !
 
Hi Ladies! It really sucks that a few of you are struggling with OPKs. I also use the solid smiley face/open circle ones, no flashing. And they are only positive for 1 day each month for me. This month was wonderful! I told my doc that I was having some issues figuring out when I ovulate since I got a smiley face last month but apparently didn't ovulate. So I got to do blood tests around my ovulation! I did one on a Friday and my estrogen and LH were high with my progesterone being nearly nil so they advised that I would ovulate over the weekend. Got a solid smiley on the Saturday. Blood test the following Monday revealed much lower estrogen number and the progesterone had begun to rise, so that confirmed my ovulation! If I'm not pregnant this month, I will definitely do this every single month. It's so handy and I didn't have to bother with temping! If this is possible for anyone else and your doc will allow it, I really recommend it, no guessing game!
 
I'm starting my first pill on tuesday. I'm wondering what side effects I might have? I feel alone in this excitement after I've worked so hard to get to this point. It would be nice to have a buddy to go through this process with.

April-- For side effects I had terrible headaches, I did get a little acne, and I was more emotional than I usually am. It was nothing I could not handle though! Good luck with your first round.

Sweetpea-- I ended up getting my blood work done CD21, but I had my +OPK CD 20......So I am sure that even if I did ovulate, it would not be on that labs...but hopefully my doctor is going to call me back at the end of the day or tomorrow morning, and I will ask her if I should take another one. I'm also going to ask her if I should just wait to take the labs until 7 days after my pos OPK. I'm still kind of convinced that the opk was a fluke.

Yay mother, testing right after Xmas, FX you got a new years bean in there!! Best new years ever! Theres plenty of people who actually "test out" the trigger...just take tests until theres no more line and then if theres a line after that, its for real!
 
It's still that f---ing blinking smiley!!! Grrrrrr. Don't see the point in having my progesterone drawn tomorrow.
 
1nce, you're probably right, although a rise showed up in my blood test that was only 40 hours after my solid smiley, so it could still work! Make sure you ask what the actual number is, my clinic never tells me the number unless I ask!

drjo718, that sucks! So annoying. Hopefully you get that solid smiley later today! Maybe your blood tests results might give you some help though. Do they only test progesterone or do they do estrogen and LH as well?
 
Hmm well if it's high then you'll know that you did ovulate, so that's good. I'd definitely ask for another one in a week or so. Hope you get that solid smiley soon!
 
I am waiting for a call back from my doctor to see what the next step is. I hate waiting.
 
Is it okay if I join in on this thread?
I'm new to this so please bare with me :) I'm currently in the 2ww I have 4 more days until my AF is expected. I started this day with provera to jumpstart my AF and clomid cd5-9. I have a son who was a clomid baby; I conceived him on my 3rd cycle of 50mg clomid. I'm currently 8dpo and I have been experience extra thick and moist CM since 6dpo (I'm hoping this is a sign). My AF is expected for this Friday but I'm praying she doesn't show and I get my BFP. I'm planning to test on Sunday if AF doesn't show.

My husband and I prayed for him and God answered our prayers. We are now prayer and trusting God to bless up with another healthy baby!

Welcome! FX you get a sticky bean this cycle! I think I am 3DPO! I think I will test around Christmas, unless the doctor tells me I didn't ovulate. Are you having a monitored or unmonitored cycle..or having any kind of labs or anything with the clomid?

Day 7 of flashing smiley. I give up, this thing is ridiculous.
 
drjo718 :( sorry, I bet you did ovulate already! So frustrating. Blood tests will give you a little insight. Stupid flashing smileys! Maybe next month get the solid smiley/open circle ones.
 
drjo-- I'm in the same boat as you, I literally have no idea if I ovulated...and I'm waiting on a call back from my doctor. I called yesterday morning (labs drawn Saturday), and the lady who answered kind of just said the doctor will call me back when she sees my labs (which she approximated was going to be either after her last appointment yesterday, or this morning before her first appointment).......well its almost the end of the day for them today, and no call back yet. If she doesn't call me back by tomorrow morning, I'm going to call again.. cause I would really like to know what the heck the next step is.

I always see how people are getting their levels like within hours of the lab work being drawn, and I feel like that is definitely not how it is where I go....
