Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[AngelaALA]

Lol I know exactly what you mean mocha I feel like I'm becoming a fertility guru chatting to all you guys you all keep me sane well if sane means constantly wondering what every slight change in my body means and pain I get but it's still saner than I would be without you guys.

And the whole BD thing I know where your coming from due to needing Preseed the spontaneity is taking out of it all but hopefully it will all be worth it xx

 

[dogmommy]

Red rose I'm so sorry for all your struggles. Hopefully this is your lucky month!! Do you have PCOS?

Hahaha us and our pre seed convos!
Sounds promising Mocha! All the waiting makes me irritable!
Angela I would definitely call and see if they can get you in asap!

RedRose.....the big thing everyone is concern about is O while on Clomid. From what I see here and from experience this cycle. Clomid and either lengthen or shorten your cycle. Of you have a 30 or more days cycle you might not see a pos opk until around cycleday 14 onward again if it changed your cycle and it is shorter you know you will O a lot sooner. So to prepare you for that start testing as soon as you finish clomid. Some have been testing twice a day just to make sure the don't miss o. IC works great for that many testing but it is what ever you prefer. If you take a quick scroll though these conversation there is a lot of info that we all posted but if you have any question feel free to ask these lovely ladies.

I appologise for previous post I have to consider that if I or any of the other ladies do get our sticky BFP then we will be you. I truly hope which ever one gets it first to start a pregnancy blog so we could all chime in at times and see how you are doing. Ok I'm tearing up here "this $@&+ is getting ridiculous"

Dogmommy, that was insensitive of your friend!!! I feel like people don't understand. I frequently get the "You're so young" thing (I'm 24), which is frustrating.

RedRose, welcome!!!!! I'm so glad you are here!!! This group has been such a lifesaver to me. People I can complain/discuss this stuff with who actually get it. I hope you get your BFP!

Angela, YAY!!!!!! So excited for you!!!!! Get to BDing!!!!!

Today was day 3 of flashing smileys (I'm on CD17). TMI, but tonight I noticed a lot of really stretchy CM, but it was thick and yellow? I don't usually ever get CM like that, so I'm taking it as a good sign...I retested. My digi was still a flashing smiley. I took pics. I usually always get pretty solid lines, but I felt like these were pretty dark. What do you all think? I used a digi and an internet cheapie.

Maybe it's on it's way? Sigh.

 

[Mocha2]

Looking very promising Brandi if possible you should start bding right away then every other day until you get the perfect line or maybe you will O in the next 24-36 hrs. Who knows but take full advantage dear.

 

[AngelaALA]

They look like they maybe fading so could O soon get BDing also I've heard if you get days of positive Opks then that could be a sign of more than one egg dropping on clomid eeeekkk exciting times ahead xx

 

[RedRose19]

Thanks ladies it's nice to talk to people who get. the struggle! But I also would like to be the person who can say it WILL happen you ladies will get your bfp! ����

I've got pcos yeah, and this past few weeks have been hard I had to have surgery in September to remove a growth in my womb, it was making me so unwell although I didn't realise til it was gone ! I've always had random cycle lengths totally irregular!
So they were unsure how Clomid would work for me
First 50 cycle the follicles didn't respond, then I had to miss a cycle over Xmas because my ov dates went over Xmas and they closed for 3 weeks over Xmas grrr. So then got to Jan had to take something to bring on af, which brought me to Feb and I took 100mg! I got one big follicle whoop.

She told me trigger shot Saturday morning ovulation by Sunday night, but it's now Monday morning and now I have major cramping! Am I right in thinking this is actually it?

 

[AngelaALA]

It Could be hun as cramping is a sign of O so just incase you miss IUI get BDing urgently xx

 

[RedRose19]

Well we arent iui this cycle, we have bd Saturday morning, sunday day and dh wont be home til late tonight so thinking least we did the last 2 days but im gonna try squeeze in one more bd
Thanks im getting so impatient now

 

[Mocha2]

10DPO and I tested today my one and only 1st respond hpt and I have more ic so I will use them for the rest of the countdown til expected Af. Four more days to go before she tries to show her ugly face.

 

[RedRose19]

Im hoping its just too early yet mocha, have you any symptoms? Fingers crossed for you!

 

[AngelaALA]

Don't give up hope Mocha it may still be too early to tell yet. And Redrose good luck on getting that sticky egg.

Well I'm fuming just called docs about follicle tracking see if could go earlier as I reckon Thursday will be too late and can't bring me forward said to still go in as you never know might still see something, I'll still go but think it will be a waste of time.

I've took two more Opks cheapie and digital and still positive on CD14 but lines are much darker alot darker than tester line so more BDing for us, also checked Cm appears a little stretchy but can't really tell due to needing Preseed and temp this morning dropped slightly but if I'm honest had broken sleep and haven't been tracking for full month I'm just going to keep tracking temp see when rise happens and then check through TWW properly really as if it continues to rise steadily for 10 days straight and past that then it's a sign of possible pregnancy so it gives me something to do whilst I'm playing the waiting game wish me luck xx

 

[RedRose19]

Looks like we will be in the tww together! Id say today is o day for me with this cramping! Which i guess isnt a bad thing its a day later than expected, surely that just means more bd? more chance with more swimmers

 

[AngelaALA]

Yep you go girl get that sticky egg lol

Well I'm guessing O will be tomorrow or Weds so gonna just BD each day and see xx

 

[RedRose19]

Just got to wait til dh is back from work! Another 7 ish hours lol

 

[brandi91]

Don't give up Mocha!!!! 10dpo is early still!

Cd18, day 4 of a flashing smiley. I want my peak smiley! I did have my lowest temp of all this morning. Hoping it was a preovulatory drop!

 

[Mocha2]

Is that all you ladies can talk about bding? Lol!! I'm just hating because I'm not getting any dh is out of town for another 2 weeks.

I'm glad things are starting to look up for you all especially with O pain and all. I never thought I would say that I like the pain but I do because it's just telling me that something wonderful is happening to my body. I like it pain in the beginning and pain in the end when we all deliver our bundle of joy and for some joys. Ok I guess it's time to change my mood today. I'm feeling a little hopeful.

 

[dogmommy]

Haha I'm done BDing for this cycle....now just time to sit back and see if it's going to happen. And by no means can I relax.

Red rose I bet it was O pain! Fingers crossed you catch it!

Brandi sooooo close! Hopefully you get that solid smiley next time.

Angela so sorry about your ultrasound but they will still be able to see if you ovulated after the fact!

 

[AngelaALA]

That's true dogmommy it would be nice though to see if I had any nice looking follicles though and how many.

Well today I've had really bad abdominal pains some even took my breath away and my stomach became bloated so I called non emergency NHS number who told me to call my doc again as they're the specialist so I did and all they could say is oh well just see if the pain gets worse and if it does go to A&E ridiculous the pain has calmed down now still getting twinges but nothing like before so I'm going to leave it for now but for a little while I was worried about OHHS if that's how it's spelt the over stimulation of the ovaries as I know it can happen on clomid, but talk about my specialist being a joke if I don't get a positive this month I'm going to ask for another doctor as this one is garbage x I hope the pain was ovulation going to take another OPK tonight when I get home if negative then BD tonight x

 

[brandi91]

Angela, I hope it was O pains!!!

My IC tests are still annoyingly negative. Tomorrow will be CD 19, and no full positive. Feeling discouraged.

I am having low pelvic cramping (but not really specific to either side) and interesting CM that I don't really ever see. It's very stretchy like EWCM, but thick and yellow. I have had quite a bit of it for the last two days.

Hoping that O is right around the corner....
