Turboturtle, Scerena - any updates from you? It's now CD30 and 13dpo for me and last night there was a dot of blood when I wiped and this morning there was creamy brown discharge but nothing since? My cervical position both yesterday and today is soft and low so not sure what that means but past months I've always had the brown blood before AF shows so I'm guessing I'm gonna be out soon. I don't feel any AF cramps yet though so it's gonna be a slow drawn out process I bet! xx

I posted this in TTC too but thought I might get some more direct answers through a clomid related thread.

Ok, so my RE gave my prometrium (progesterone) for 10 days to start a period. 12 days after the last dose I hadn't started and didn't have any symptoms so I called the office and they said to come in for an ultrasound and bloodwork. U/S looked ok, no cysts visible or anything (my right ovary couldn't be seen which is the first time i've ever had that happen, and i've also had several u/s's before and have never once showed a cyst).

Was given 2 scripts: BCP and Clomid. Doc said he'd call back with blood test estrogen results to determine whether or not I could start the clomid without having a bleed first.

He called back saying my levels were low enough that I could go ahead and start the clomid and come back in this wednesday to check on things. However,
2 days into the clomid all was fine, then i woke up on the 3rd day and surprise, got a period...

I took the 3rd dose anyway. I called the office and left a message since it was sunday and now i'm just sitting and waiting for the nurse to call me back. My baseline cd3 u/s, if i end up having to have one since i finally got my period is tuesday, but since i have an appointment wednesday anyway to monitor my response to clomid, should i still go in for the cd3 u/s or just the wednesday one?

ALSO:

is clomid even going to be effective under the circumstances? (ie taking it without a bleed and then randomly starting my period 2 days into it)?

 

[rmlane713]

and if it makes a difference or matters, doc started me out on 100mg clomid

Hi
Reque and Pretty - FXed for BFPs!
Let us know when you hear from the Doc, Pretty. I'd hold on to the fact that you're not bleeding yet - perhaps you're just a 'slow grower' on the hcg front!
As for me - am confused in a big way!
It was cd10 on Saturday so I started OPK-ing again. Opened a new Clearblue digi OPK and got a blank 'face' - no surprise there because on my first cycle of 100mg (last cycle) I got my smiley on cd17. Yesterday I woke up feeling really ill and was then sick several times - I didn't OPK. This morning (cd12) - smiley face!!
Obviously I'll BD tonight and tomorrow just in case this wasn't a false positive - but I can't help thinking this is wrong. I've NEVER had a smiley this early - but then again, I've never had a false positive before either. It's just that I've not had any of the usual signs that O is impending this cycle - no EWCM. Usually I get EWCM for about 4 days before I get my smiley.
I do have PCO and I have heard that OPKs can be misleading in women with PCO - but again - I've never experienced this before. Always ALWAYS negatives before positive - on Clomid cycles and without.
Haven't BD at all so far this cycle so really hope I'm not out.
Am also temping so I'll shout if I see a shift in the next few days!!

Has anyone tried soy and clomid in the same cycle?

There is some research which suggests it has a higher conception rate and results in my successful pregnancies x

 

[caz & bob]

no never hared it before hun but worth a try lv x x x

 

[Jessie777]

Does anyone know if prenatal vitamin, vitamin B12, vitamin B6 and fish oil hurt if On clomid?

I take prenatal vitamin and fish oil but I was told not to take B6 with clomid. I am not sure why... I didn't ask questions I just said ok LOL.
Do you have a short LP?? That is the only reason why you should be taking B6, I think...?

My cycles are 30 plus days but I don't get my Af every month. I don't think I have a problem with LP. Then again I can't convience my nurse to get me monitor. I am frustrated I do have a appointment for cd25 check if I ovulated

 

[babygirlhall]

Hi everyone, im on my 4th round of clomid. I got a bfp on my second cycle but had a mc. I always get my +opk on cd 14 and af on cd28.
Anyway today is cd14 and no +opk?! no ewcm either? Im really confused, can clomid just stop working??
Any advice would be really great, thankyou

I posted this on my thread..

UPDATE!!!

Well I FINALLY got to speak with my doctor.. He apologized for not calling me on Friday, he said his mother fell and broke her hip and he was at the hospital with her.. I kind of felt bad for being upset after I heard that..

My HCG level was 9... I said 9... are you kidding me that's it!! He said it could just be really really early and late implantation, or it could be another chemical/miscarriage. Since my tests are not getting any darker, it is not looking too good..

We talked about where to go from here... And OH and I decided to wait till Friday and have another blood test and ultrasound with my endo specialist (who is also a fertility specialist). If I start bleeding by then, then we will obviously know what happened.. But I wanted to give my body time for the HCG levels to rise before paying for another blood test.

My temp is still high and no bleeding... Still have tons of CM and all the other symptoms are still here.. Trying not to think negative but my heart just broke when I heard my blood results

Just want to say thanks for all the support ladies!! It helps alot!!

 

[scerena]

Jessie... I just spoke with my RE today. I am starting Clomid 50 tonight, and I was concerned to start it before know if there are things I shouldn't take. I told him I take prenatal vits, calcium, b complex, and fish oil. He told me all of those things are OK and GOOD to take and there is no reason why I need to stop taking them. Just thought I'ld let you know. So... it's FIRST DAY ON CLOMID for me ... yay! (although I am very nervous) good luck and baby dust to all

 

[scerena]

Gl 4boys1girl and everything you are taking is fine x

Hi hun, nothing in particular really except that I've been using OPK's this month. Previously I didn't use them and just went by an app on my iphone as to when my ov date was predicted but this month, using OPK's, I found that I actually ovulated later than would have been predicted so whether that is the case every month or just the Clomid doing it I'm not sure. But besides that, I have used Conceive Plus (very sparingly as we seem to forget about it half the time!) and that's about it. I take note of my cervical mucus as much as I can although I'm still not sure I get proper EWCM around ov time. I like the idea of temping too but I'm such a restless sleeper that I'm not sure I would get very reliable results.

Scerena

Girl so sorry to here that. I hope next round will be your lucky one hang in there stay positive I know it is stressful. Big hug for you girl.

hey with the temperature charting it's ok to be restless. I am too a restless sleeper luck if I get 5 hours of sleep. Anyway I get up alot to use the bathroom small bladder. I just check it if I see I have sleep more then 3 hrs Somedays its 330 am and others it's 530 am or 6am. You should try it.

Hey thanks! I just don't want anything to undue the effect of clomid since this is such a hard stressful process. Not to mention expensive although it's all more then worth it I we could all get a BFP. Hey keep in touch want to see how you are doing and how things go for you. It is not to bad if you have side effects it's worth a BFP. If you don't get a BFP it can be discouraging but that is why we are here to keep encouraging. I truly wish you the best of luck girl

 

[Danielle_jone]

starting my 100mg soon!!! cant wait! good luck ladies, we can do this!!!
