how many dpo did you get your bfp. symptoms? did you test before today?

 

[kcoennen]

I was 15/16 dpo yesterday when I got the positive. I tested last week, and this week on Monday and Wednesday. All negatives obviously. Last week I had an itchy nipple lol, and the past two weeks very very tired, random times of having to pee super bad, and cramps!!!!

 

[Lisa92881]

I have to say, the itchy nipple is by far my favorite symptom!!

[kcoennen]

Hi Ladies!

I was reading this thread and happy to have found one about clomid and all the good stuff that comes along with ttc .

So starting wednesday I will be on my 2nd round of Clomid 50 mg. I really hope this works for me this time! I am super nervous but excited to start again.

 

[Helena_]

ok cd 1 . starting clomid tomorrow

 

[Lisa92881]

Sorry Helena.

Well I don't think the 25mg of Clomid is going to do it for me, it's cd 17 and still nothing. Had a tiny bit of ewcm last night, but nothing today and no positive opk. Not feeling positive at all today, and really wishing she had started me at 50 mg.

Lisa I am sorry! I can kinda relate on my second cycle of clomid they kept me at 50 mg even though i did not o the month before with 50 mg. When I did not o that month I felt it was such a waste. I have heard alot of people o late with clomid so maybe it's still on it's way. I am on 150mg this month hoping and waiting to o.

 

[Lisa92881]

Thanks jme! I thought I had read somewhere that if Clomid is going to work, you will ovulate within 10 days of your last pill. Not sure if that's totally true though.

Hi everyone,
I will be starting my first cycle on Clomid, I will take it cd 5-9, haven't picked it up yet so not sure what dose it is but i think he might have said 50mg, I O on my own already but never became pregnant in 12 years of being active (longer but with protection) anyways he is giving it to me to give me a boost as the donor we are using has 4 kids so we know he has no issues, and so far no issues with me either except not getting pregnant. So i'm looking forward to it and have pre seed in case i dry up from it, but i'm nervous as they won't due u/s as my O date is to fall on the weekend so can't time it right, just gonna go with opk. Do u ladies have any suggestions as for best time to take it? And does it have to be the same time everyday?

Ok ladies I'm back from my hiatus I took. Well still no bfp since last time I wrote I had an hsg test done and everything came out all clear. Hubby got a sa done and that didn't come back too great his sperm count was great it was 147 million. His motility was 45% but he only had 5% normal sperm. So needless to say I cried like a baby when I found out. He has an appt with a specialist on Friday. Anyone else experience anything like this?? Also anyone experience TERRIBLE constipation on clomid???

 

[CherryD]

This may have already been asked... If so, I am sorry. They are so many pages here I haven't read through them. But I do have a question. I am on my 2nd month of Clomid and was wondering is it possible to ovulate during the 5 days you are taking it? I ask b/c I am going to do the ovulation test again this month (even though I said I wasn't) and was wondering when I should start testing this month (I was told to start testing 5 days after the last day I took Clomid on). But I am thinking I will start testing 3 days after that day. Thoughts? Tips? Suggestions?

I had a freak out when I got my hubby's results too. He has 3% normal sperm. Remember that any SA is just a "snapshot" of what could be going on....his next SA could be totally different. My dr suggested that he see a urologist, which we haven't done yet. She didn't seem too concerned though. At my next appt she said his results were a little low, and I said "But nothing to freak out about, right? Or am I missing something?" and she agreed. So, try to remain calm and positive, and remember that way back before SA's were ever done, babies were made and I'm sure lots of guys then had low sperm counts too. Plus, it only takes one!

EDIT - YES! to the constipation! Luckily, I always have Miralax on hand, it works wonders!

Yes he's going to the fertility urologist..that's his appt on Friday. It's just so frustrating. It's just something else to worry about. It has gotten me so down.

As far as the constipation it killing me!!! I'm actually in pain from it

 

[Lisa92881]

Don't stress. There's such a wide range of normal. I've seen sources say that 5% is ok. Let me know what the urologist says, we could use some tips too. At least you got your appt quickly!

 

[momwannabe81]

I wouldn't worry about sa since he has them he can get them improved, there is some fertility for men vitamins out there (can't remember the name).
Got the 50mg dose and my Dr said to start using opks cd 10
