Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[AngelaALA]

Goodluck Vankiwi FX for you xx what dose are you on I'm on 50mg

Just a bit of advice Clomid can shorten your cycle and lengthen it Mt first month it shortened it to 26 days meaning I Od as soon as AF went I missed my chance as didn't BD then and by time I started OPKS on CD12 it was too late xx then on next month it lengthened it and I Od on CD16 luckily I bought loads of cheapie Opks and was BBT so I caught it but no joy due to a bereavement didn't hit all fertile days.

Do you also go for any bloods or Us or anything aswell xx

Ladies I'm taking my first dose of clomid tonight! Eeeek. Wish me luck!

Good luck hun!!

 

[AngelaALA]

Quick question guys the Dr has given me another prescription for three months of Clomid if I get my BFP and carry full term I know that's it then I won't get free help no more for TTC for another, due to this should I get the Clomid and keep it so I can use it if needed for another baby in the future xx

Hey ladies went to acupuncturist today, I feel ok tired after, but almost immediately after I got tons of cm! And I'm cramping now so bad I wonder if it's af on her way finally

 

[krissie328]

Sounds promising red rose! Fx for you.

Angela- I plan to fill my prescription later if I get pregnant. Probably 4 ish months pregnant so it's not obvious, yet the expiration date will be further out.

I took left over clomid from ds that was 4 months expired and I did not ovulate. But my Jan cycle I ovulated on fresh clomid.

 

[AngelaALA]

Redrose I'm loving the new photo xx FX you get AF redrose sounds like acupuncture has been good for you xx

Krissie I think I'll do that too get it as late as possible and keep it I know my last lot had nearly a three year expiration date so I should be okay xx

 

[krissie328]

Yes, I am not sure why mine was so close to its exparation. I got it in January 2013 and it expired April 2015. Okay so I guess it's not to bad.

My current lot expires about 3 years out from when I got it. I'm not sure I plan on a third but it's nice to have the option.

 

[AngelaALA]

That's true Krissie I would love three though it would be amazing if I had three but right now I would be just happy with getting my one xx

 

[krissie328]

I really only want 2 right but you never know. I like to be prepared.

 

[Vankiwi]

My pills don't expire til 2020 so I'd definitely get it filled!

I'm on 100mg but don't get any monitoring. I ovulate every month naturally but having the clomid to improve egg quality. Hopefully it works!

Thanks Krissie!

Good luck Vankiwi!!!

I'm waiting for AF. I just took my last progesterone pill for this round. Usually I've started AF by now (I always start while taking it). I haven't started yet though. I have been taking it for 10 days. My doctor has me on 100mg 5-9 since 50 didn't work for me.

Good luck everyone. Looks like I'm behind you for this cycle since AF is so late.

 

[AngelaALA]

Goodluck Vankiwi and love your pic by the way hopefully 100mg does the trick for you xx

Brandi here's hoping AF starts soon for you how many more days do you take progesterone for xx here's hoping 100mg does the trick for you too xx

AFM 4DPO me and DH BD last night off The Dr advice just to be on the safe side she told us to BD tonight too but I don't see any point since my CM is dry now xx we did all we can and now it's just the waiting game I hate the TWW it's the worst part about the whole process xx

 

[RedRose19]

I feel so fedup waiting for af i got given a prescription to bring on my period, im hoping to start tonight

 

[AngelaALA]

Goodluck redrose I hope AF comes soon for you xx

Star e any news are you okay xx

 

[RedRose19]

I meant to say Angela, sorry you asked me before about my son and i didnt get chance to reply , he is only 3, 4 in june so hes not been given a level if that makes sense because its hard to tell at this age because alot of it can be pinned to his age. He is non verbal and is behind for his age in understanding, but i bekieve hes coming on so much, he has a load of words now, he is toilet trained and hes so social and cuddly but hes not even 4 so hes got loads of time and room for improvement we are obviously hoping he will be hugh functioning, he just started in an asd pre school and i think it will be great for him, he did a year in a mainstream one and home tutoring but they couldn't offer him the same level of support. Hes lately been showing loads of signs that he loves being around other kids and tends to be sad or lonely otherwise, so i ammore than ready to provide him with a sibling which i must admit i did worry slightly

 

[AngelaALA]

Redrose I completely understand Leah wasn't fully diagnosed till she was seven as a child she didn't speak and would use pictures and some sign language to communicate but now at age of 9 she never shuts up always chatting and singing she has come on leaps and bounds in a special school she can read, write and do arithmetics but is behind with it all due to her learning difficulties but her future does still look bright though xx

I really hope you add to your brood I hope next month is your month xx

 

[RedRose19]

Thanks hun, you too let's hope we will have some lovely December/ January babies! I didn't get chance go to the pharmacy today so must get it tomorrow

 

[dogmommy]

Angela that's interesting news from the doctor I knew it wasn't like a pinball but I wonder how slow it is! Sorry I can't remember did you have more than 1 day of positive opks? I have heard of clomid messing with temps tho. Do they check your lining during the ultrasound? I know my RE won't do more than 3 consecutive cycles with clomid bc of that.

Brandi and red rose my fingers are crossed that stubborn AF shows up to start your next cycles!!

 

[AngelaALA]

Dogmommy I don't know the Dr just said ovulating can be a slow process and I could be slowly releasing the egg I had one collapsed follicle so even though FF has predicted CD13 as my O day I could be most fertile on CD16 and 17 but I doubt it though as we BD on CD16 and I was sorry TMI very tacky it you get me xx They did see another follicle of good size which had not burst yet so maybe she meant that one I don't know but me and DH have done all we can now so it's just playing the waiting game I guess xx

They looked at my lining and said it looks good aswell everything seemed okay xx FX for me xx

How are you Dogmommy any updates xx

 

[AngelaALA]

AFM DPO6 and my temp has risen dramatically now so I'm happy I've got 4 days till I'll start testing going to start at DPO10 I know it's early but I know I can't hold out till AF is due I have an LP of 13 days so AF is due around 11th April here's hoping it doesn't show its ugly head, I normally start spotting around two - three days before AF comes so I should get some insight on whether I might be in with a chance by 8th - 9th April. I'm feeling much more positive this month as me and DH have done everything right and have timed BD to a tea, right now I just wish I could close my eyes and wake up on 11th as these next 9 days are going to drag xx
