Hello again! I was just looking for the other thread you were on to update you! And it looks like we're on the EXACT same cycle! AF gave me a great Halloween yesterday and I'll be starting clomid again on Monday as well! What a coincidence!

Omg, yay! I'm so excited that it worked out like this!! What a coincidence!! Woohoo!
Ok well, let's definitely keep each other updated! You said you had bad side effects from the clomid, right? If so, keep me posted on how it goes this time. I'm on that low dose 25mgs and didn't really have any side effects (at least not that I know for sure I can attribute to the med), so I'll let you know if it's any different for me this cycle.
On average, how many days was your cycle on the clomid? Mine was 31 days last month, so I'm thinking it was because of the clomid and if it will be the same this cycle too. I guess we'll see!
Oh, I'm sooo praying that we both get BFPs soon!!
Baby dust, girl!!!!!
I am halfway through cycle #2. I did not feel O like I did last month. I am using clearblue so it shows I O'd but way early. A little nervous about this round. Good luck.

I had a lot of side effects from it, but I'm on 150mg, so hopefully with the low dose you should be ok.
My first clomid cycle, I had a 32 day cycle I believe. This past time I went up to 40 days bc I was taking the progesterone which delays AF, so it took a few days after stopping that for it to come. Clomid alone though shouldn't affect it too much.
Are you using OPKs this time or anything to see when you O?
I can't remember to temp for the life of me. I wake up so randomly sometimes that I wouldn't even know when to do it. The first or the second time I wake up? Lol.
I don't really remember them telling me that my progesterone was low. They did bloodwork a few months ago, so it's hard to remember. But I have PCOS and I've heard that most women with PCOS have low prog, so maybe they're just assuming. It also helps keep your lining thick to help with implantation, so maybe it's just a precaution.
With the Clomid I didn't get my smiley on the OPK until day 16 or so, and since I'm doing the trigger shot again, it doesn't really seem necessary to use OPKs. I'm glad it takes all that confusion out of the picture. Lol.
I wish it was Monday already. I'm ready to get this show on the road!!
I actually use the fertility monitor. It tells you when to test. It measures hormone levels. Two bars is high and 3 bars is peak. Cd 10 & 11 were peaks now I am at high. The clomid is not supposed to affect the monitor. I plan to have sex every other day until I am back to one bar. I cannot temp bc of sleep schedule and getting up sometimes to let out the dogs.

Oh ok! I've seen that, but never used it. I'm glad to hear the clomid doesn't affect that monitor. I wanted that one, but it's pricey; however, now that I've been trying so long, the investment would've been worth it, as I've probably already spent almost $150 on the CB OPKs (and they don't sell the sticks separate). I have enough sticks for 2 more cycles, but if I don't get a bfp soon, I'll have to buy another kit, so that's another $40 or so. The things we do!
But here's to hoping for BFPs for all of us this cycle.

Ah yes, with the trigger shot, I don't think it's at all necessary to use OPKs! So I don't blame you for not wanting to mess with it, lol! Yea, I wake up at random times throughout the night too, and I always take my temp on the last waking, and sometimes I even get out of bed to temp so that the beep on the thermometer doesn't wake DH, lol! I know I'm not supposed to do that with temping, so my temps could be slightly off at times, but I guess it's less about the actual numbers and more about the pattern and seeing that spike. But for you, the trigger shot is a sure thing anyway, right? You pretty much know you'll O no matter what after that, so no need to go through the OPKs and temping. And since you're taking prog too, that would make your temp go up anyway, so I think you're good to go! Hehe!
I am also wishing it was already Monday!!! After AF, I'm always just ready to get on with it, lol! My AF was short this time...barely two days. I started on Halloween (like you!), and yesterday seemed to be last of it, as I don't seem to have anything today at all. That's the shortest AF I've had in over a year, so I hope that's not a bad sign. But I'm ready for Monday to get here and get this party started, lol!!!

You should def look in to the monitor...so easy to use. The test strips are about $40 for 30 strips which should last 3 months. And I got my monitor on amazon used for I think $100. Try amazon, ebay, or craigslist. I think walmart.com has a kit for about $200 that includes the monitor, a box of strips, & a pack of digital pregnancy tests. Not a bad price. And it is so much easier...it tells you when to test & it's just once a day fmu.
That's interesting. I'll have to look into those if I don't get my BFP this month! Do you still use it when you're taking Clomid?
