Here's the latest:

I'm on cd 27, no af, no early preggo symptoms and the htp I took today was a bfn. I called my ob/gyn and she said I'm testing too early - I should test on cd 30 and that I did ovulate on this past round of clomid (so that's exciting)! I'm not sure when I o'd though - I'm thinking it was anywhere between cd 15-17 because that is when I had pain around my right ovary. So I guess I need to wait a few more days and test again. If I conceived wouldn't it be positive by now given the dates I though I o'd? Or at least wouldn't I be experiencing some early pregnancy symptoms? HELP!!!

Well af came and im now cd3 and I went for my u/s today and I was cysts free! thank God! So the f/s decided for me to take clomid on cd3-7 instead of cd5-9. I responded very well last month so not sure why they switched the cd's.... does anyone know the difference of taking clomid on cd3-7 and cd5-9??? Well I go next week to have a test done to make sure that my tubes are free of fibroids and cysts... praying my results are good... gettng nervous :/ then I go for my u/s next week to see how I responded to the clomid and that day we will determine my trigger shot day and the day IM going to be doing my first IUI.... oh gosh Im really praying this is the month.... the f/s he really likes to pair up clomid and the iui... he said they go hand in hand... he said since im 25 and had conceived in the last year that it makes it a little more promising... but I dont want to get my hopes up too much! how is everyone else doing?>????

Sorry to hear about AF showing up! My AF is still hidden and I posted a pic in the pregnancy test forums about a line that showed up after the limit last night and this morning. Wishful thinking ? Probably I'm trying to stay positive though. I'm glad to hear no cysts or anything. I wonder why they changed what cycle day you took clomid, maybe it has to do with ovulating earlier?

hey girls, new to the clomid world, wondering if anyone can help me with a couple questions...
1. Do you always go for scans/bloods when taking clomid?
2. Do you guys use OPK's while taking clomid to confirm O, or other methods?
I guess that is it for now, hehe, I go my HSG test fri then get clomid to start after I take the provera again (which i found brutal for light headness and hot flashes!!!)

Looking forward to joining you guys for this thread! BABYDUST!!

hi danielle! it sounds like we are in the same boat. i had an hsg in march. i took clomid round 1 in april. it did not make me ovulate. i double the dose this month. i just started spotting today, so i think tomorrow will prob be cd 1 for me. i also take provera to induce af.

i seem to be the only one on these threads that has not had scans or bloods while taking the clomid. the doc says that it is not necessary just yet. he says i will either not ovulate (i use opks, no positive whatsoever on first dose; i took all the strips just to show him at my last visit) and not get a period, ovulate and get a period, or fall pregnant.
i do not temp or anything-my work schedule doesn't let me keep good track of it.

Well I think I'm out this cycle! I'm cd 29 and AF showed up this afternoon. Started as brown discharge a day or two ago and I got a little excited thinking it might be implantation bleeding. But when I wiped again earlier today I noticed a hint of darker pink so I think its the witch! I also have a lot of cramping .

I was really hoping this would be it! I haven't tested since cd 26 - . My dr told me to test on cd 30 which is tomorrow. I only have one ept test left and I'm so scared of being disappointed. Could there still be a chance?

I'm not sure I can withstand another round of clomid and progesterone - I don't handle the side effects so well. I'm thinking of taking a month off?!? I'm so confused and frustrated. This is my second round of 50 mg. Last time I was TTC, the clomid worked the first cycle.

 

[LesleyL]

don't get frustrated!!! there is still hope! take that hpt tomorrow good luck!!!

I talked to the doc. today and he said that taking it earlier will make you have more eggs. So praying that happens for me!! oh wow your cd29 w/ no af in sight! sounds pretty promising... when will you test? do you have to take provera to help af start? are you have any symptoms?? ill try and find your hpt pic. good luck keep us posted!

1. I did bloodwork the first cycle on clomid. im on my 2nd cycle and im not having bloodwork this month. And I did scans on cd3, and cd11/or cd12 to check follicle growth. if the doc. isnt impressed w/ the growth they will have you come back a few days later to check again... I didnt have to do that last month. thank goodness. (Im paying all out of pocket)
2. I used opks last month and never got a postive but doc. told me not to use them while taking clomid that they are not accurate. so im not sure about that question. But I get the trigger shot to make O. some people dont O while taking clomid so im glad they prescribed me ovidrel(trigger shot).
How was the HSG? Im having an SIS test done its where they use saline to check your tubes for cysts or fibroids...
Sorry you had S/E from the Provera

Hi, i'm on first round of 100mg clomid. Just ovulated today, i think, opk was positive yesterday and negative today (cd 22). I'm having an uncomfortable ovulation pain since last night, feel a little better 2night. G luck to everyone and baby dust!

 

[LesleyL]

Hey well with me I only had one 1 scan which was the 1st cycle then I havent had one since im currently on cycle 3 in tww. I opk also I also now when im ovulating I have very sore pains in my tummy aways round cd 13,14.

 

[Want2bMum]

Hello,
did you girls feel a lot more bloated and slightly more crampy than usual during the TWW while on clomid?
I am on CD4 today and since CD2 I was incredibly bloated and today I started feeling some twinges/little cramps in my uterus (very very little ones). Because I felt much more ovulation pain this cycle due to clomid, I am wondering if this is also one of clomid side effects and if anybody else felt it.
Also, since CD2 I have been extremely tired, almost not able to get up from bed. I needed to sleep many more hours... wondering if this is just me or if other people experienced it while on clomid...

thank you

 

[LesleyL]

want2be- i get tired from the clomid. i wasn't really that crampy or anything, but then again, the 50mg i was on last month didn't make me o. i know alot of ladies say they had bad cramping, though.

 

[LesleyL]

i need advice ladies. i take provera to induce a bleed. this is my fourth round of it, and every cycle i take it, af comes 4 days after last pill. no spotting. just full on blood. the time, i took pill 10 wednesday and started spotting that day. ever since then, i am still spotting. not enough for a pad, only when i use the rr and wipe (tmi). should i count today as cd 5??? i don't know what to do because i am supposed to take the clomid on cd 4. thanks i am thinking that if this keeps up, i should take another hpt, because this is unusual for me.

hmm I would think that you wouldnt count it at cd5 and wait for an actually bleed but Im not sure. Every time I take provera it is different for me. the first time I was told to take 5 days of 10mg each and my period didnt start until 13 days after the last pill and no spotting just a normal bleed. last time I took 10 days of 10 mg each and started spotting on day 8 of the provera and the day after my last pill was the start of my "period" This time I took 10 days of 10 mg again and its been 3 days since my last pill and no spotting or anything yet. I have had cramping and sore breasts since day 3 of the provera. I wish it was the same every time, I hate waiting!

I would maybe call your dr and see what they say about whether you should cont the spotting as your period or wait!

 

[LesleyL]

thank you, missangie. for the first 3 times, mine came about the same. i hate that this time is different! and i hate that it is the weekend, and i have to wait until tomorrow to call the md. hopefully it just starts tonight like it usually does, and i dont have to guess!

Ok really confused here...took clomid cd2 - 6 had loads of niggles/pains around my ovaries between cd13 - 18...today I am cd 32 no AF really painful nipples and showing all signs of ovulation??? Took a HPT yesterday what I thought was 13dpo and it was BFN but today CP and CM is pointing towards ovulation so I think clomid hasn't worked how it should for me this cycle.

 

[LesleyL]

i know alot of ppl o really late on clomid.....so its possible. did you use opks?

 

[LesleyL]

well i started af for sure last night, so i am considering today cd 2. will start 2nd round of clomid wednesday.
