Just an update everyone... I am currently on cd 15 after my clomid an still no positive opk yet. Temping is out of the question due to my crazy shifts. .. I'm starting to get discouraged because i just don't know what's going on!! My cervix did get soft and felt open but never really had ewcm and no positive opk... And now my cervix is beginning to get more firm and lower so I have no idea.. My body isn't helping me out that's for sure!!
This is my very first cycle of clomid so I'm still pretty optimistic! You never know right? We have been bd'ing plenty just in case!!

Quick question,
Have any of you had weird cramping in the middle of your cycle? I'm not sure if this is something from the clomid or If it's ovulation pains? it feels like I am having Af cramps an I am only on cycle day 16....
I am pretty sure I have already ovulated due to cm and cervical position but it's hard to know for sure because OPK's haven't been working?
Just looking for a little insight ...

Natty Mommy I am on CD 16 too and think I o'd yesterday - have been having light cramping since CD 14 but then last night I had such bad cramping - it actuallly woke me up out of sleep at 4am it was so bad!! Like AF pain but worse! Today it seems to have gone but still a bit bloated. I have heard some people get quite bad ovulation pains on Clomid so Im thinking/hoping that is what it is? Might call my doctors to check though as was a little bit worrying...

 

[SG_Lady]

So just called my doctor - he said the cramping is nothing to worry about and it is due to ovulation occurring - he said during the process of ovulation the ovary gets stretched which causes pain in some women - he also said that because I had two large follicles it was probably causing more pain than normal...phew!

So good news hopefully Nattymommy!

 

[NattyMommy]

Sg lady we are cycle buddies!!! your pain sounds worse than mine, so that is a bit concerning! I always thought ovulation pains were on one side or the other? So that confused me because my pain is dead center an more in the uterus/cervix area like af pains... I hope I ovulated a couple days ago cause if I ovulated yesterday or today it isn't good cause I didn't bd yesterday or today cause of DH an my conflicting work schedules...
You should let me know what happens with your cramping!! I am so curious!

 

[SG_Lady]

Yay cycle buddies! Lets hope we will be bump buddies soon!

My ov pains were really similar to bad AF pains too and went right across the centre of my lower abdomen - might be because I have one follie on each side though maybe? Maybe the same for you?

 

[SG_Lady]

she got me!

No! Sorry the evil witch got you! You definitely deserve a margarita.

Maybe that's why i feel this way!! Let's hope to be bump buddies!! I would love that!!! I don't know about the follicles in my case but I guess that makes sense!!

Evil witch stay away!!

Hi all, welcome NattyMommy and LKPone

LKPone we are cycle twins! I am also on CD7 after finishing first round of Provera and on Clomid 100mg CD 2-6. Are you going to start OPKs tomorrow? I was also not sure if the Clomid would mess up the results. I have heard the best time is between 2pm and 8pm. I am getting a scan on CD10 this Saturday to check my follicles. Im really hoping its doing its job

Nimbec, I didn't know Clomid could make you o early - good thing we started the bding early

Good luck for this round girls x

Hello!! And thanks for the welcome! YAY! Cycle twins! I see you've o'd, which is great news!!

Sorry for the radio silence over the past week, here's a small update...

I've been tracking twice a day with opk's since Friday last week (CD9) and nothing until yesterday afternoon when I got my first smiley face!!! SO excited! I got another one this morning, so I think we're in the home stretch Today is CD 16, so it just shows how useful it is to track BBT and use opk's, because most of the time by CD16, people would be assuming they'd ovulated 2 days ago and risk missing it! So I'm also feeling cautiously optimistic... if for no other reason than it looks as if the Clomid might actually help me to ovulate possibly for the first time ever!

Can't wait to see if I get a temp spike over the next day or so. Will continue to do opk's until the smiley face goes away.

I had a terrible specialist appointment on Wednesday - stupid NHS! He told me that there was nothing he could do for me any further and he is referring me to the Fertility Clinic - where there is an 18 week wait for an appointment!! Crazy! Especially when I've already had one round of Clomid (albeit not prescribed by him!) and he's now just prepared to leave me with no course of treatment for nearly 5 months. Idiot! I've looked into going private and it'll cost £180 for an initial consultation and a scan, so we might stretch to opting for that. At least that way, if this round doesn't work, I'll be prescribed another round straight away, not have to wait 5 months.

How is everybody on this lovely Friday (although if you're in the UK, it's pretty miserable weather-wise!)?

 

[SG_Lady]

Yay for your smiley LKPone!! Awesome news! You and your oh better get to work!!

That is such bad news about the rubbish NHS! I cant believe they are not helping you. My sister also has pcos and they are giving her pretty good treatment in her borough, they are even giving her a round of IVF for free. I think it depends where you live though so unfair. In Singapore there is no NHS, everything is done on insurance but unfortunately insurance doesnt cover infertility (of course! ) so the treatment is pretty expensive. It is very good though. Hope its all worth it!

Im very happy its Friday, havent had much sleep what with all the bding and ov pains so looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow!!

 

[nimbec]

Hi ladies

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend

So I've been doing opks since CD9 & finally got my first positive on Thursday evening (CD15). Here are the results:

Thurs am - negative
Thurs pm - positive
Friday am - positive
Friday pm - positive
Saturday am - positive
Saturday pm - negative

All tests were done twice - once with an Internet cheapie & confirmation with a Clearblue digi.

It was such a relief to see the negative last night cause I know that if you get endless positives, it usually points to no ovulation, just your body trying to ovulate constantly. So my tests seem to tie in with the normal timeframe of 36-48 hours for the LH surge.

BUT... this morning, the Internet cheapie was the most positive I've ever seen!! But the Clearblue digi was negative. So I'm confused I know there is always some debate with using the ic's with FMU, so do you think maybe that caused the discrepency?

My temp dipped slightly this morning, by .12 degrees C (check out my chart below). So I have no idea what to think! I have had a few pains on both sides, but nothing excruciating & my - sorry, TMI! - nipples have been SO sensitive since Friday.

What's going on?
