Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[AngelaALA]

Well I pulled the FRER apart to check for an indent but there is none the line is still there to see with the naked eye I've tried to take a pic of it but it doesn't seem to be picking up on my phone camera, I've uploaded it anyway for you guys to see to tell me if I am going insane or not

I've got no more FRER left and only 6 ICs I refuse to buy anymore as I've waisted so much money over the past 21/2 yrs on hpts. I've decided if no AF spotting or symptoms by tonight I'll take another IC and and no AF tomorrow then I'll do another IC but if by evening time no Af I'll go shop and buy a digi to take the next day DPO15 with FMU if no AF when I wake up, I'll be a day late by then so it will definitely tell me either way by then xx

Angela! What a happy update. Hopefully it gets darker.

Sorry I can't see it now! I don't want to disappoint you but I had what I thought was a line last few times I used frer, I think they have gone bad for indent and evaps, I hope it's a real line though
Tomorrow is my last day of my progesterone thankfully then hopefully by next weekend I'll be on the clomid

Ok starting tomorrow I'm definitely going to start cutting carbs. But today im going out for a girls night. So I'm going to take advantage.

Angela I think I do see a shadow of something! Not all BFPS show up before a missed period so you're still in it!

 

[AngelaALA]

I don't know what to think I think I'm out as I took a digi it came back not pregnant I'm DPO13 AF due tomorrow so it surely should have shown up something xx

 

[brandi91]

Angela, I see a faint something on the first test pic! Not so much on the one with it out of the case. Also, remember digital aren't nearly as sensitive as a FRER! FRERs pick up 7miu where digitals won't show positive until 50.

 

[brandi91]

Angela, have you taken any more tests?

Update: I'm on CD10. I finished my last pills yesterday. Now just waiting to O....I'm not using OPKs this cycle. I think we are just going to do it everyday to be safe.

 

[AngelaALA]

Yeah I think I'm out still no spotting or AF but BFN on an IC I just don't get it though I've got no AF symptoms at all temps still high but BFN it's strange, AF is due today so I've no idea what's going on surely DPO14 I'd have atleast a squinter I think the FRER was a dud if I'm honest I just want AF to come now and put me out of my misery xx

 

[dogmommy]

Sorry Angela I hope AF doesn't show her ugly face for you. I've been checking for any updates on you.

Brandi how exciting! It would drive me mad not knowing tho!

Red rose I'm hoping AF shows up so you can start your clomid! Did clomid help you conceive your son?

AFM I haven't taken any tests bc I don't have much left but AF is due tomorrow. So maybe if she doesn't I'll take one on Wednesday.

 

[krissie328]

Brandi- Are you going to temp or be monitored? I agree with dogmommy it would drive me mad not to know!!

Angela- still keeping my fx for you.

Dogmommy- I am hoping the witch stays away from you!!

Afm, all my fertile cm has gone away and I am pretty sure this is looking like an annovulatory cycle. I will be starting meds to bring on af in mid May if she doesn't show before then. So it is just a waiting game until then as to when we will start clomid.

 

[krissie328]

So I spoke to soon. I just checked and I have a ton of perfect ewcm. So maybe there is hope still! My opk was very negative though.

 

[brandi91]

You're not out till AF shows, Angela!

I want to use OPKs, but don't want to order them until I get paid Friday. Hubby got a little frivolous with the last paycheck! I am temping though, to confirm O. And going in for 21 day bloods. Hopefully I will show ovulation this time.

 

[AngelaALA]

I'm out guys my temp has took a nose dive and I'm getting really bad cramps as if AF is coming she's definitely showing up today xx

So sorry hun.

 

[AngelaALA]

I'm going to take a month off I need to just to get my head straight again I'm going to ask the Dr if there is any further tests they can do on us both to see if anything at all could be causing this infertility it's so frustrating being told it's unexplained infertility trying for nearly 2 1/2 yrs doing everything right and still nothing, if there's nothing actually wrong with us then why is it so difficult for us to conceive, I feel like a complete failure just can't stop crying at the moment xx

 

[dogmommy]

Angela I'm so sorry. I know it's heart wrenching. I cry every time I see a new birth announcement or when I get the phone call from a friend who feels bad telling me they are expecting. But with all the advances I feel like it has to happen for us. I agree your Dr needs to be doing more tests. It could just be a simple clotting problem or a small cyst sitting on pituitary. We're here if you need to talk. Hugs to you!

 

[AngelaALA]

Thanks guys means a lot xx

 

[AngelaALA]

I'm going to take a few months off to get my head straight again, I've been TTC for 2 years 5 months these past three months on Clomid doing absolutely everything right and nothing no BFP it's just worn me down and I feel hopeless like a complete failure. I've contacted my Dr's secretary as Dr is away till next Tuesday with a list of questions and also seeing what other tests can be done in order to try and find out what could be causing this unexplained infertility. I'm just going to wait and see what she says and discuss where to go from here whether to carry on with Clomid or try something else xx

 

[RedRose19]

I'm so sorry hun, I totally get where your coming from, and not many understand that feeling of is it gonna happen, if yes, when etc. Hope your feeling ok. Have you considered trying the spearmint tea? a few ladies on bnb with pcos and taking Clomid took it without skipping a day and a few of the ladies those that were trying for a few years go pregnant that month or by the following, I drank it too but I kep skipping or giving up for a week. I'm back to it now 2 tp 4 cups a day all cycle works wonders

Today's the first day without the meds and I've bad cramping already I wouldn't be surprised if af showed tomorrow!

 

[krissie328]

What is the spearmint tea suppose to do?
