Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[krissie328]

I'm also cd 27. But it's been an anovulatory so still planning to use progesterone to start af.

Vankiwi how exciting!! Post pics if you do!! Baby dust!!!!!!

Krissie do you get start Clomid in May??

 

[krissie328]

Yes dogmommy! I've been waiting 2.5 months to get back on it so I'm pretty excited. Just waiting on af then will be starting it days 2-6.

Goodluck Vankiwi FX for you

I'm still waiting for O to come but if I'm honest I don't think it will happen this month and I'll have an annovulatory cycle but I don't mind as I'm just focusing on getting healthy we shall see though xx

 

[brandi91]

Good luck Angela! Maybe the healthy eating will bring on O!

I could not find my thermometer Anywhere last night! So annoying! I still can't find it. So I was unable to take my BBT. Used a different thermometer but the reading was soooo low (96.6). I know I can't accurately compare temps with it. Going to keep looking for my thermometer today so hopefully I can possibly confirm O if my temps stay up......

 

[AngelaALA]

Well I'm confused FF has said I Od on Friday my temps are rising but I haven't had a +OPK they have all showed two lines but none that are darker than the test line I guess I'll find out for sure on Thurs but I'm not too fussed this month to be fare we haven't really been BD either but if FF is right then we did BD on O day xx

If it turns out that I have Od then all I can think of is that I missed O due to being on lates so I would test in morning around 9 then couldn't test again till around 11.30 at night so I may have actually missed my surge we shall see though xx

 

[brandi91]

Good luck Angela!!! Sounds promising!

I am cautiously saying that I am (drumroll please) 6 DPO? I don't trust it though. I put in the data from this last month as best as I could remember (because my new phone deleted it). I know I didn't have any temps higher than 97.7. I even had one as low as 97.4 on CD 18 or so. My last few have been 97.8-98.0. This morning, I took my temp about two hours earlier than normal and it was 97.8 (which took away my anticipated O date). Out of desperation I took it again at my normal time as I laid in bed still, and it was 98.0. I wasn't sure which to go with, so I did a temp adjuster (which I know can be tricky) and it adjusted the lower one to 98.0, so that is what I went with...

Temping stresses me out! I just don't trust it. Plus I couldn't find my thermometer yesterday, so I didn't even get to take it.

 

[dogmommy]

Krissie that's exciting!

Angela it only takes one BD to catch the egg! Fingers crossed for you!!

Brandi 6 dpo already! I don't temp at all bc it didn't work for me. But I know it really works for other.

Afm I had some strong cramping last night. So I'm guessing today is 1 dpo and my progesterone check is Friday!

 

[krissie328]

Angela- fx ff is right. If your temp is up tomorrow I would say it's probably correct.

Brandi- fx you caught that eggy!

Dogmommy- hopefully your progesterone check confirms a good strong o.

Afm, ds has his pre op today and surgery on Wednesday. So I'm sure that and recovery will help time go quickly. Then my inlaws are going to be down this weekend.

 

[AngelaALA]

Well I'll know more on Thursday as if I have they should see a collapsed follicle I'm not buying anymore hpts though I've got on digi so if no AF by nxt Fri then I'll take it as by then I'll be two days late xx I'm not going to let it consume me this time I'm still going to focus on getting healthy and fit I've been for another run today xx

Sounds like a busy week ahead Krissie I hope DS op goes smoothly FX for you xx

 

[brandi91]

Good luck everyone. My fingers are crossed for you all!!!

Per FF, I'm 6DPO. That would have me ovulating on CD 19. I don't trust it though. I'm seriously not convinced lol.

 

[krissie328]

Thanks Angela.

I think relaxing this cycle is a great plan. I'm hoping next cycle to be more relaxed and not obsess. But who knows what I will do when the time comes.

 

[brandi91]

My doctor office just called. I knew my blood work would be negative but it still hurt to hear it. My progesterone went from a 0.4 to a 0.44. No ovulation.

I asked if I could start my prometrium early but they're making me wait until CD 35. They are also keeping me on the same dosage and changing my days to 3-7. I don't want to be negative, but I just don't see how that is going to help if it's not making me O. So frustrated about having to start another cycle. I told her my BBT had been up, and she didn't seem to put much stock into it.

 

[krissie328]

Brandi that is very frustrating. The only reassurance I can give you is that clomid is suppose to build up some over time so taking it multiple cycles in a row is suppose to be better. Also, if you want to try something else try adding black cohosh to clomid. A quick google search of clomid and black cohosh will give you a ton of legit studies showing it improves clomid's effectiveness by something like 150%. I can't remember for sure but I used it my last round and I was very happy with the results.

 

[dogmommy]

Brandi I'm so sorry! Like Krissie sometimes the clomid can build up in your system. Last cycle I didn't take clomid and Od right on target from the month I did take the clomid.

I would look into something to supplement with the clomid. It may give you an extra boost!

 

[RedRose19]

I'm sorry Brandi, I agree with the girls it should build up and work better the more cycles you do, that's why some people get their bfp on cycle 3 or more. This is my third cycle so I'm hoping for the same result.
I have my scan tomorrow and I'm hoping so badly I get least 1 but great to have 2 follicles! I'm.bloated and crampy I'm hoping it means it's working

 

[AngelaALA]

Goodluck Redrose FX for you xx and Brandi don't give up hope the TTC is a long and hard journey but you will get there here's hoping we all get our 2016 BFPS xx

 

[RedRose19]

I'm so excited and nervous for tomorrow! I'm gonna have a hard time sleeping tonight I'd say! Dh is so on board this cycle!

 

[krissie328]

That is awesome rose!! It is great when they are excited as well.

I tried to talk to my dh about waiting. (I have terrible cold feet when it comes to ttc #2!!) But we also have a huge medical bill for DS with his surgery. But he told me no we need to move forward. Which I agree. There will always be another excuse and we both want two.

 

[brandi91]

Good luck everyone and thanks for your continued support!!!!!!

I had a low temp today so I know there was no O.

Let me know how everyone's ultrasound goes!
