Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[brandi91]

Good luck at your scan Red!

I hope everything is good with everyone else.

I am mad at myself for getting out of the habit of temping. I am CD 15 today. I took my temp on day 12 and it was 96.9, then 97.0, followed by 97.2, and today it was also 97.2.

I do see a shift in temps and I had that odd breast tenderness that I got last month, however, since I've only got the four temps, it's hard for me to actually tell anything. Oh well, at least I'll be in the habit for next cycle.

I've another boy! So excited. Thanks ladies.

 

[krissie328]

Aww congrats red. Do you guys have a name picked out?

 

[brandi91]

Congratulations, Red!!! I am so happy for you!!!!

My temp was back down to 97.0 today.

I put some pseudo temperatures (of 96.9-since that was my lowest before my temps rose) into FF for the former part of my cycle, and with those, my temp pattern does show ovulation. However, I know that is unreliable, so I'm just gonna have to keep waiting to see if AF shows. Still kicking myself for not starting earlier.

Fx you did ovulate brandi. I'm waiting to see what mine do. I had a spike today after two days of ewcm and now creamy. So I'm guessing o was Friday or Saturday as cm turned creamy Saturday pm. No chance of catching as we haven't bd since I've been out of town.

Thanks vankiwi that's exactly right. Unfortunately my test came back poorly but my Re still said he's willing to try ivf. I'm feeling completely bummed I have a low chance of the ivf working because of my endometriosis but I have more options (donor eggs,adoption, etc)

Brandi sorry you're feeling frustrated but fingers crossed O is happening naturally!

Krissie I'm so sorry you didn't catch it this time dear. But I'm so thankful for you starting this group at a time I feel hopeless you are the ladies I turn to!

Red! I'm over the moon for you! Another boy will be a blessing to your family

Took my last Clomid tonight. No major side effects thank goodness. I'm CD 8 today and still spotting, which is pretty annoying.

TTC is all about waiting but I feel like we've got a few steps out of the way, finishing provera, starting AF, starting clomid and now finishing. Next step, AF to go and BD lots and then the BFP!

 

[RedRose19]

good luck sarah! i hope this cycle of clomid brings you a stick bean x

 

[Vankiwi]

Congrats Red!!

Dogmommy you're still in with a shot, fingers crossed! Sorry your AMH wasn't great though.

Brandi hopefully you did O!

Red thats fantastic news so happy for you and now you can plan the nursery and shopping for goods Id be the same as you I would want to know straight away xx

Krissie sorry your not in with a chance but it shows that femerra did work for you, what will you do after your break go back on Clomid or Femera xx

Brandi here's hoping you did O its frustrating not knowing for sure here's hoping you O again next month too and get yourself a sticky bean xx

Sarah LTTTC is so stressful and it does become routine especially the BD it can take the fun out of it but lets hope its all worth it hun and next cycle is yours xx

Dogmommy that sucks so can you not try one round with your own reserves or will you have to go for a donor straight away I feel for you right now I would have so many mixed emotions about that dreading it when I get sent for my test as Im 33 closer to 34 and I know Im still young but in the fertility world Im old and time is against me xx please keep us updated about how everything is going xx

Round 3 of Clomid started last night...third times the charm I hope!

 

[sarah2211]

Thanks Red Rose, I'm hopeful!

Vankiwi, are you a NZer?

Angela, thanks. I'm definitely feeling the BD scheduling. I've tried really hard to not let myself fall into the "BD for one purpose" mindset. DH would be the first to kick up a stink if that was the case. But of course, it does mean BDing on days you might not really feel like it. Let's just hope this cycle is it!

 

[Vankiwi]

Sarah yes I am! I live in Canada now but just got back from a trip to NZ yesterday.

 

[krissie328]

Angela- I don't know yet. I have tablets of both. I'm leaning more towards 50 mg of clomid.

 

[AngelaALA]

Aphy FX Third round is the one for you xx

Sarah I know what you mean heres hoping you get your BFP soon so BD doesnt get routine for you xx

Krissie whatever you decide Im sure it will work hun eventually I have everything crossed for you xx

 

[krissie328]

Krissie whatever you decide Im sure it will work hun eventually I have everything crossed for you xx

That is kinda where I am leaning. I really feel like I need to get healthier and will get pregnant after that. Who knows maybe I will get pregnant while eating better!!

 

[AngelaALA]

Here's hoping Krissie Im the same hoping this health kick will help me have a natural BFP Ive got my FX for you hun xx

 

[brandi91]

Good luck, everyone!!!!! I hope Clomid works for those of you trying this month!!!

I have been charting for the last week, but I didn't start until CD 13. My temps have been rising a bit, but I obviously don't have enough to detect O. Still, here is my chart. Anyone care to take a look? Does it look anovulatory?

Sometimes I feel silly for even thinking there is a chance of ovulation because it just doesn't ever happen for me. Still, if I did ovulate last cycle, my app says I did so on day 14 (although I wasn't temping). That was why I decided to start temping this cycle, in case AF decides to come back.

[AngelaALA]

Sorry Brandi but without more temps I cant tell as dont know what your temps where before hand I hope you did O hun and if you did your in with a chance if not then I hope AF comes and you'll get a clearer pic next month x

 

[brandi91]

Thanks for looking Angela!!!! Today my temp dropped almost a full degree. So strange. I am hoping AF starts so I can gain some insight for next cycle.
