Starting clomid!

[AlliCat]

They are def getting darker.. you cant sneak it in a work lol.. I often sneak in mine when I can.. even if im out.. I would always test 3 times a day..between 10am-6pm.. ish.. lol

At least I know I am getting closer if I am not able to test... I work at PETSMART in the PetHotel so I am never sure if I am going to get a break or a break at the time I want. What would I have been in such pain and feeling things a few days ago? I am still feeling it on and off but not like I was.

Hello everyone and it has been a while! I, unfortunately, did not ovulate even though I got a positive opk but body said no (3rd cycle of clomid 5-9 100 mg)...so I am only on CD 2 and my doctor wants me to do another 5-9 at 100 mg...at least that cycle is over and can look forward to another, hopefully positive, cycle! to everyone!

Oh faither--so sorry hun! to you. I did notice you have been MIA for a bit. I'm glad you are back. Did you do bloods to confirm you didn't O? Did your dr say why you got the +opk but didn't O? Egg didn't release? Do you have PCOS, low progesterone or anything like that?

I agree alli- i put mine into my purse and go pee and then put back into my purse as I come back to my desk and wait for it to develop. I then put back into purse to take home. I know that may sound gross but I do recap lol. I take at 10 am and 2pm while at work. I bet you will get a positive tomorrow becuase that bottom from today looks really close dear!!

I think I will try and bring one to work with me. It is just that I may not get a break during the span that I will need to do it. What time would be best for me to try and do it? I am stuck in one room with up to 16 dogs for 4 to 5 hours in the morning and 4 to 5 hours in the afternoon. I may get a break at 12 or 12:30... will that be an ok time for a good result?

I think 12 or 12:30 would be fine and then test around 6-7 pm when you get home and post pics! We wanna see. So how are you and DH bd'ing going? Are you all still everyday every other day?? I would at least every other day near O day becuase those days prior can be crucial days!

Just put you a stick in your purse now so you don't forget and take it with ya. You can always put in your purse after you pee on it then run over and ck on it after a bit. I am with the others test more than one time per day.

Agreed with tundra

Ok, I shall try that and see if I am able to get it done at work at 12 or 12:30 and then for sure when I get home. I will post whatever I take. We are going every other day this cycle, started April 2nd. It is going well we are having alot of fun, but it is tough as my hubby works overnight shift at work. He got to tired going every day on other cycles so every other is much more relaxed and enjoyable.

Hang in there Allicat, keep testing and bd'ing - maybe you are just ov'ing a bit later this cycle Have you tried the clear blue fertility monitor, I used that when ttc my son and it gives you that bit more information and assurance about when your body is building up to O (it's pricey though )

Lilrojo fingers crossed for your ultrasound I heard progesterone can cause spotting

Faither, hope you see some results this month

 

[faither2003]

Sorry to hear faither... hope this cycle works for you

I have been spotting on and off since Saturday.. dr thinks its due to the progesterone suppositories.. have a us in 13 days.. fxed

I wanted to say congratulations!! I am happy for you and you give me hope!! I am sure the spotting is from the suppositories and looking forward to hearing about the US!! I'm excited for you!!

Today just before 12 o'clock. I go in for my day 21 blood work in the morning. I let them know that I am ovulating late but they still want me to have it done. Will the result be accurate?

That one looks + to me Allicat! Lets here what the other ladies say. Not really sure that the results will be though on your progesterone. I had mine done today and it will tell me if I O'd but I got a + last week. Maybe you should remember to ask them can you come back later into the month and have it done again since you know that you ovulate late this cycle because of the +opk today. Just make sure you BD tonight the next couple of days. Keep testing though. I know that sounds stressful but at least you will be able to see the pattern of your surge. Fxd for you!!

I was so excited and happy for the last half of my day at work after I saw this and BD'd as soon as I got home. We plan on BD'ing 2morrow and maybe saturday. I will I told them yesterday that I was going to O late so we will see what they say. I have 2 more tests so will have to use them wisely. Thanks!Fxed for you as well!

 

[lilrojo]

Yep def positive..

 

[Peanut78]

Positive Allicat!!!

 

[nessaw]

Allicat the cd21 tests are for 7 days after ov. Thats based on the average cycle. So if u have them now they won't be correct. However an awful lot of docs/clinics don't seem to get this. If you can get an appt for a week's time then the results shd be correct. Good luck.

 

[nessaw]

Sorry shd say that I know the above because I had the opposit prob. I ovd early so the tests were wrong fir me as well. I should have been going in cd16/17. The reason they do it 7 days after ov is because thats when the progesterone levels peak. I was told after 3 cd21 tests last yr that I didn't ov. But an us and pg told us otherwise!

 

[nessaw]

So the first two cycles I had bad lower back pain. Huge build up of pressure. This month its spread to the middle of my back up to below the bra line. Has anyone else had this? I understand the lower back stuff but not the higher. Do the side effects get worse the longer ur on the clomid?

I told them a day before I went in that I was O'ing late but they still wanted the numbers for today. I don't know if they will want me back in a week or not... I live 2 towns away from my Dr. and have to take the whole day off of work just for my blood draws but it is worth it as long as my boss doesn't get upset.

 

[nessaw]

Its mad isn't it!?! I said to my gp several times should I go cd21 or 7 days after ov and she kept saying no its fine but the fert specialist I'm under now says 7 days after. Hopefully they'll call u back for another one.

 

[lilrojo]

I do think the symptoms get worse with every clomid cycle.. my second round was worse than my first for sure..

Hmm I would say 7 days after too..
