[Smh..Ahh]

i had a mc almost 2 years ago.. well, last month was the last time i was trying and the first time on clomid,
i had sex feb 29th and march 1st because i got a positive opk.
i told god if i didnt get pregnant i was done trying, ive been trying for along time and im tired of disappointment, my boobs have been really sore and nipples look different then usual, i was having cravings, hungry all the time, extremely bloated like im on my period for past 2 days i guess it was the clomid still in my system, i took a opk last night around 1am cause i was bored it was almost positive, and i heard if ur pg it will show on a opk. well i took a opk right now 10:30pm it was negative so idk what the deal is. i took a hpt test same time it was negative so guess im not. not suprised guess i wasnt meant to be a mother. hope all you get a child like yall want since i cant.

Smh..Ahh How many dpo are you? maybe it's just early and you'll get a BFP soon.

 

[lorojovanos]

I'm confused. I started taking my opk the day after my last clomid pill even though I know I shouldnt for 2 days cause of false positives. Well now I'm onto day 5 of VERY positive opk. I took a preg test which obviously was negative, and attached my chart. Looking for ideas as to what the hell is going on...

Hi DaisyQ! AF is due today. So far no signs though!!!!! BUT even if AF makes an appearance, at least I know it worked FINALLY

 

[Tallmom2b]

Wow - our situations do sound similar! Yes, I started the provera today, which is only CD 32 for me (wow, it would be strange to start before I hit the 50 day mark, haha) Last cycle I used Provera, and began it on CD 65 I believe. AF came before I finished the full 10 days --- I was on day 9 of it I believe - so I think it was right around the corner anyways. I had absolutely no side effects with the Provera - I was a little worried!

GL, keep me posted and I will do the same!!!!!! LOTS OF BABY DUST!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's good to know Provera didn't bother you! All those crazy side effects people have had freaked me out. Although, I was prescribed prometrium, but I think the side effects are similar.

I kinda wish I had sucked it up and taken it anyway, because I would be starting a new cycle by now Hoping O or AF will come soon for me.

Fx clomid works for you and everyone on this thread!

Dont lose hope hun. I went through the same thing. Even when I had a pos opk my doc told me it wasnt accurate, but 2 days later i had another stronger pos opk. I too had a pos opk 10 dpo, and it was because im pregnant. I had even a negative blood test among several negative hpt. but i kept taking the tests, and at 12dpo i finally started getting faint positives, and did another blood test and it was positive. I was also having the breast symptoms. Dont lose hope. I thought i was done for because i started bleeding 13dpo and thought i lost the baby, if i hadnt been testing so much , i would have thought it was af!! Good luck hun, my heart goes out to you!!

Sorry about the BFN, Really hope you get your wish.

 

[Momto3and...]

Just got my labs back today, and my progesterone (sp?) level was a 28.7! Yippie! I ovualted! Last month I wasn't even at a 1. AF is due on the 17th, so I am hoping and praying I get my BFP then! Either way, it is great to know that I am still in the game this month. I was so afraid to answer my phone, and hear that I didn't ovulate.

I did take a hpt today, and it was negative. But I am only 10dpo at the most. I am not exactly sure when I ovulated since this was my first month on clomid (cd 5-7). Anyone know what they average is? My guess is the I ovulated on the 3rd, which would put me at 10dpo, but that is the beginning of the range from what I am getting from online calculators.

Hoping for my BFP!!!!

Well Ladies, I’m sadly out for this month

AF reared her ugly head today without warning (apart from some light cramping yesterday which I was hoping was something else). I was only talking to my Hubby this morning about when we could do a Preg test. Typical!!

It seems that Clomid is making my cycles much shorter. The cycle before I started taking clomid was 32 days, my first cycle on clomid was 27 days and this one has only been 23 days. Is this normal?

Not sure what to do about round 3 as it looks like my hubby will be away around ov time (we will be cutting it very fine!!) Do you think I should carry on taking it this month and hope we catch it or should I save the tablets? I’m not sure if stopping and starting again will mess my system up.

What do you think?

Good Luck to everyone else! and sorry if you've seen this on another thread!!

I'm confused. I started taking my opk the day after my last clomid pill even though I know I shouldnt for 2 days cause of false positives. Well now I'm onto day 5 of VERY positive opk. I took a preg test which obviously was negative, and attached my chart. Looking for ideas as to what the hell is going on...

Clomid can prolong your peak ovulation due to the hormones stimulation. I usually have quick LH surges, but during my Dec cycle, I had 3 full days of +OPK! And no wonder, my CD21 blood test revealed that my progesterone levels were off the roof at 190+ nmol/l (minimum for ovulation is just 30nmol/l)!

Just keep BD'ing till your first negative!

it's been so long since I've been on here. I can't remember if I ever updated you all? It turns out my "positive" wasn't a positive at all. Fertility Friend and my ovacue were both wrong about ovulation, I must of never ovulated. I am taking 150mg of Clomid this cycle and am on cd 10 right now. I've also been referred to a fertility specialist and have my first appointment on April 16th. I'm really nervous about everything, but I hope the fertility specialist will be able to help us do what we haven't been able to do; conceive. I'm hopeful and happy that my insurance will cover most of my treatment (including ivf and all that).

I get to start opks on Friday....so excited haha. No temping for me this month, just opks.

what has everyone else been up to? I have lots to read back on

 

[brittbray04]

So I finished up my first round of clomid, days 1-5, about 8 days ago. I started using OPK's on day 8, three days after finishing the clomid. On day 8 it was almost positive and then on day 9 it was positive. Day 10 until now (Day 14), they have been negative and getting even more negative.

Any of you clomid users ever have this happen to you? Could I have ovulated that soon after finishing up the clomid? Do you think that was my ovulation or should I keep using them to see if I end up getting another positive? I am so confused! Any input would be so appreciated!

 

[DaisyQ]

Does anyone feel hotter during the tww after Clomid? I've been really hot the past couple of days.

of clomid doesnt work should think about famera i think i spelled that wrong lol. its kinda like clomid but it doesnt thin out your lining or decrease cm.
i take clomid days 3-7 100mg i ovulated 9 days after the last pill although i missed the egg it worked. but im taking a break this month even tho i took clomid one round lol. goodluck

 

[Smh..Ahh]

So I finished up my first round of clomid, days 1-5, about 8 days ago. I started using OPK's on day 8, three days after finishing the clomid. On day 8 it was almost positive and then on day 9 it was positive. Day 10 until now (Day 14), they have been negative and getting even more negative.

if the opk are getting more negative more likely it picked up the lh surge which is released 12-46 hours before ovulation. u could have ovulated, i took my first round of clomid last month days 3-7 100 mg.. i didnt ovulate until 9 days after the last pill. which is day day 17 of my cycle. on clomid ur supposed to test 3 days after the last clomid pill u usually ovulate 5-10days after the last clomid pill . if your concerned just keep testing. hope this helps baby dust to you. i missed the egg so no bfp this month for me

 

[Smh..Ahh]

Does anyone feel hotter during the tww after Clomid? I've been really hot the past couple of days.

lol yes clomid is bad with that. after taking my first clomid pills i kept getting hot flashes thank god its over.. i had extreme depression and hot flashes and so hungry.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

I always hated the hot feeling. I'd wake up sweaty at night and feel like my skin was on fire! Kicked off all the covers and wake freezing a couple hours later, no fun!

 

[Msmith9]

This is my 3rd cycle taking 100 mg clomid days 5-9. It's Day 11 and I'm getting so nervous... I can only take clomid one more month and I'm so scared it's not going to work. I hate to be such a Negative Nancy.... but every where I go there are pregnant women. At the grocery store today there were 3 (!!!!) women ready to pop right ahead of me. I almost broke down in tears right there in line. I try not to get myself worked up but I've honestly wanted to be a mother since I was a little girl... and never thought that I would have an issue making that happen. Every day someone asks me why I'm not pregnant yet, or they try to tell me how to get pregnant ( like I'm not trying hard enough) I know that none of you have a magical answer... I guess I just needed to vent, I don't really talk to any friends or family about how frustrated I am because then they really lay on the advice....and that (obviously) only makes me feel worse for not being pregnant yet. Thanks for the Ears!
