Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[RedRose19]

brandi do you take it same time every morning? it can make a huge difference to your temps! i hope with more charting they make a regular pattern!

 

[krissie328]

That is quite the drop Brandi. Fx you know what is going on soon. I hate the cycle limbo.

Afm, I am pretty sure I am 5 dpo. So I am expecting af next Wednesday. I found it funny that is the same date as my lmp with my DS.

 

[RedRose19]

krissie fingers crossed for you!!! be nice to have same dates as your son although could mean possibly sharing birthdays hehe

 

[brandi91]

Thanks for looking everyone!!! I do temp at the same time. I agree it's really weird! I'm CD 20 today. Maybe over time I will see some change or get some clarification!

 

[brandi91]

This may be TMI but I just had the weirdest discharge. Hubby and I just BD and afterwards when I was drying everything, I noticed clear, but almost solid, CM (or semen, or something....I don't know what). I have never seen anything like it. It was clear but almost coagulated. It reminded me almost of the sticky clear stuff that they stick on the back of credit cards when they are in an envelope lol. It was just so weird. Clear, coagulated, and jelly like. Also a little crumbly.

Any insight? There wasn't much.

Hi Everyone, been lurking more than participating recently as I don't have much happening my side. Day 4 of 3rd cycle of Clomid, still a ways to go.

I wanted to ask everyone on Clomid if they have ever experienced a big temp dip (.4 degrees) on the 2nd or 3rd day of drinking the Clomid. I take Clomid 50mg CD5-9 but for the past 2 cycles I have had a dip and I don't know if that's normal? My first cycle of Clomid this didn't happen. Last cycle I got the dip on CD6 (second day of taking Clomid) and this cycle I got it on CD7 (third day of Clomid). Anyone have any answers or similar experience?

 

[AngelaALA]

Aphy The Dip can mean O but that is far too soon for that our bodies are strange and react differently to different things bring it up to your Dr if it concerns you but Im sure its nothing to worry about my temps whilst taking clomid use to go high then drop once I stopped x

Brandi are you sure its not just your DHs sperm just coming out hun it could be ewcm and that would explain the huge drop just keep checking each day and take your temps to get a clearer pic FX for you hun xx

Krissie its great that you have Od I know you havnt got a chance this cycle but I know the last few you havnt Od so atleast thats showed that you did respond to the femera hun xx

Red how are you anyway you okay xx

AFM no news here Im DPO10 got another 5 days till AF comes Im not in with any chance at all due to thinking I was having an annov cycle not BDing and Oing later than usual still doing my fitness stood on scales today and so far Ive lost 4kg so happy with that, not heard nothing from hospital yet but I know it takes time so just waiting for now xx

 

[brandi91]

I don't think it was EWCM. I get EWCM pretty regularly, and it's stretchy and clear. This was truly like a rubbery, dried glue type thing. I google it and apparently some women have asked about it before, but I couldn't find a reason for it.

I then had spotting right after sex (after I posted) which is strange for me too. I never get that.

My temps are down again today. :/

Angela, I hope you do hear from the hospital soon!

Aphy, I am not sure about the temp. Sometimes they just become wonky! Good luck!

 

[RedRose19]

brandi was this after sex? semen can go lumpy if er... the man gets over heated in that area either before or during sex, its the proteins clumping together... like when you cook egg whites haha , it shouldnt have a huge impact on numbers but something to be aware off. my husband is kind of on the heavy side and drives alot and that kept happening after sex, i googled it and asked my fertility dr. cold shower before sex might help haha although might not help the mood

 

[krissie328]

Brandi- that is so strange. I honestly have no idea what it can be. With your temps dropping I find it unlikely, but have you tested?

Aphy- it probably doesn't mean anything. Might just be your body's reaction to the clomid. Since clomid is designed to make your body increase its estrogen it could be caused by the estrogen surge starting.

Angela- fx you hear back soon. You are doing fabulous with your health kick so hopefully they get you right in for ivf without a fuss.

Afm, day 2 on my diet. Yesterday was good so keeping motivated for today. I have decided after my next cycle we will do another med cycle. So I suspect some time in November.

 

[RedRose19]

angela i hope you hear from the hospital soon! i cant wait to hear you starting your ivf!im find thanks, tired and my son has started to become clingy lately which isnt like him, i dont think he fully understand whats happening but knows something is to change. weve decided to call the baby christopher.. not sure what you guys think.

 

[krissie328]

I love the name Christopher. I think it goes well with DS's name as well.

 

[brandi91]

I love the name Christopher, Red!!!

I tested yesterday just for fun, but it was negative. I haven't had any more spotting or CM. I may take another test to be certain. My last two temps have been super low, which makes me feel like there is no way I could be pregnant. But I agree it's weird. I was a little sore during sex, but I always am, and I never have bleeding.

 

[brandi91]

Friends, I am SO confused!!! I had a bit more spotting throughout the day, but just barely. Two super low temps (and I had to get a new thermometer today because my dog chewed mine, so now it will be hard to compare temps). The blood has been so light. I wonder if it's just from the intercourse, but then I wonder why my temps plummeted.

I took a test and BFN. Ugh. Sorry to burden everyone with my troubles, haha! I just want to figure everything out.

 

[AngelaALA]

Red that is a beautiful name Im sure your son will change once the baby comes and be an amazing brother xx

Krissie can you get you tube if you can type in bodycoach tv its really good exercise and only takes 20 mins a day five days a week will help along side the healthy eating hun thats what I do and Ive nearly lost two dress sizes already Im well happy xx

Brandi that sounds odd Im sure its nothing to worry about but Id speak to your Dr xx

Well I started spotting yesterday five days early which is wierd but hey ho Ill bring it up to Dr once we get approved and an appointment if early spotting continues I do spot before AF most 3 days early but 5 is crazy unless FF got my dates wrong due to me starting temping late and not doing OPKS we shall see x

 

[krissie328]

Thanks for the YouTube site Angela. I will have to look it up soon.

That spotting since weird, didn't af arrive early last cycle? Ff looks right to me based on temping. Definitely worth bringing up if it continues. Maybe your weightloss is causing fluctuations?

 

[mara16jade]

I'm new to LTTTC. This is my first cycle of clomid. I took 100mg from days 3-7. My opks are looking like I'll O tomorrow (got my first +opk today).

Did you all experience a lot of uterine cramping? Not like painful cramping, but a dull annoying ache? Yesterday and today have been the worse for the aches and minincramps. I'm just hoping it's normal. It's not painful enough to take meds, and I can easily distract myself with something else.

Hoping this doesn't he trick. But I'm so scared of another MC.

 

[RedRose19]

angela could it be you ovulated on cd 14.. it looks possible? the dip 2 days later could be anything, but i would be annoyed too if the spotting started so early demand they check your progestrone! i hope you ladies have a great weekend!

thanks im glad you like it, im not 100% yet well see when hes here!

 

[AngelaALA]

Welcome Mara and goodluck I hope Clomid gives you a nice healthy sticky bean I use to get cramping when I was releasing multiple eggs so that could be the reason for the pain fx for you xx

Brandi and Krissie AF did come a day early last month no spotting prior but 5 days early is crazy, Ive had my progesterone checked uite a few times and its always been good high numbers maybe it is the Clomid coming out my system and my body is adjusting as I did say CD18 was very late for me to O and also the healthy lifestyle maybe playing a part but I will definitely mention it to the Dr wen we go for our consultation see if they want to run checks xx

 

[sarah2211]

I took Clomid (50mg) on CD4-8. I was prescribed 3-7 but AF was really light and I had to get some blood tests to see if this was in fact AF. By the time I got the results and told to start it was CD 4.

I'm currently CD 14 and my OPKs have just 1 line, my CM is kind of creamy/watery but there isn't much of it and my temps are still low. No ovulation pains or anything.

Should something be happening by now??
