Holi-Why are on earth are you still peeing on the opk's?! lol! thats enough to drive anyone crazy! are you sure what you thought 4 days ago was a real positive? people do say that you can get a +opk when you are pregnant, but i would think 4dpo is too early....but you never know! Fx'd for you!

Hello Ladies!!!
Justwantababy- I am sorry that 50mg didn’t work for you But I heard that it doesn’t work for a lot of woman and then they have success on 100mg.. I don’t have much experience to offer you, this is my first cycle on 100mg (I skipped 50mg). But good luck!!! And how do you know that you have high LH levels?? Is there a blood test for that??

I know I wish I'd just taken 100mg....I had enough tablets to, just blindly followed docs orders! Looks like your doc had the right idea.

Yep I've had 2 blood tests which show high LH. I've got a day 22 blood test booked next Mon....obviously my progesterone won't be high since I've not ov'd, but I might ask if they'll test all my sex hormones so I can see if the clomid has had ant affect. Much as I love the idea of opks giving you more control, I reckon I could get pretty obsessed! Haven't peed on a stick in AGES....def getting the urge! xxx

teddy - well 5 days ago i had a scan and she told me i did O. as i had a patch on the scan she said was liquid which u only get when u O. and i had been getting strong opks before that scan.

i did another opk this morning and that was even more positive! ill upload a picture when im home from work this eve

[scerena]

Hmmmm it's weird you are still getting positive opk's... Maybe they might be too sensitive for you? But still hopefully it's a good sign c

I just registered to this site as I'm feeling down today.
As I read all the post I feel better to see that I'm not alone and people are helping each other in this journey.

I been on TTC for 2 years.
I did IUI(twice) in 2009 bot no success
2010 I decided to take a break on TTC

I started using clomid
Cycle 1 - May 2011 on 50 mg day 2-6
Cycle 2 - June 2011 on 100 mg day 2-6

I got my period today and I will start clomid for Cycle 3 tomorrow

Thanks Screna,

My first cycle I did not determine if I ovolate,
Cycle 2 i got the smiley on OPK so I feel that everthing is fine but sadly not.

Sometimes I feel very frustrated everytime it did not happen.
So glad to find this forum as I can't easly talk about this with my friends as they can't relate with me.

 

[Holi2459]

scerena - lil girl name is Amelle - his surname is Gayati so we thought it went quite well. i really like elle/ella and he hates it but this is the closest i would get to it so i agreed lol i really like Luca for a boy xx do u have any ideas?

 

[Holi2459]

so i was looking into positive opks after O and i found this...



OPK's as HPT's:
using an ovulation test to confirm pregnancy



Overall-- yes, it can be done. Ovulation predictor tests (known as OPK's because they are normally sold in a set of tests known as a "kit," thus the K) will show a positive result when a woman is pregnant, as well as when she's ovulating.

Specifically-- while it works most of the time, there are good reasons to avoid using an OPK as an HPT for diagnostic purposes. If you want to pee on any stick that will stand still after you know you're pregnant, just for fun, have at it. But I would not recommend using an OPK in place of an HPT overall.

Reasoning-- OPK's detect LH (luteinizing hormone) which is the hormone associated with ovulation. Pregnancy tests detect hCG, the hormone associated with pregnancy. LH and hCG are, at a molecular level, nearly identical.





eekkk!! xx

[prettynpink29]

Ok Ladies I am updating!!!

I just got back from my ultrasound and the tech was really nice and talked to me the whole time, but she wouldn't give me any details The only thing she would tell me was that I had 3 follicles on my left ovary and 1 on my right.. She wouldn't tell me the size or the thickness of my endometrium! So now I have to wait for the doctor to call.. But 3 follicles on my left side explains why I have been having pain on that side, rite?? I am going crazy wanting to know all the details!!! I know my doctor will call me sometime today and the tech said she was gonna send the results rite away.. So now I am just anxiously waiting to see how big my follicles are!!!

 

[scerena]

caz & bob- Make sure you post the result as soon as you test

prettynpink- Oh thst sucks mine tells me as she is scanning! But at least you will get your results today... and 3 follicles on one side is good I hope theyre good sizes hun good luck! Oh yeh what was you external scan for?
xx

 

[Holi2459]
