my dr put me on clomid because i havent gotten my period in 2 months and test showed low progesterone which she assumes means i havent ovulated. i hope it works considering im not using it during a regular cycle.

 

[messymommy]

Well I was off the clomid this month because I had the HSG test and the doc told me to skip this month. I had progesterone on my own that was 11.2, then clomid 50mg cd5-9 in May I had cd21 test and got progesterone of 16.2, June cycle I got CD21 prog of 8! ONly an 8 Then my July cycle I didn't take my clomid because of the HSG test that revealed both of my tubes were blocked but the dye opened up my left but not the right tube. So now I am in business with a working tube! I am 10dpo now without the clomid and took an afternoon urine pg test and got a BFN but maybe it's just too soon. I know I ovulate on my own and with the clomid I did well the first month but not the second. I just don't know what to think.

Well girls I'm out- woke this morning from real intense belly cramps I never get af pains and these were horrible- af is here! I'm thinking I might save my clomid until after my appointment with the fs and have a natural cycle incase they give me my laparoscopy as maybe clomid might actually work for me then... Well i have until tomorrow to decide. The only good thing is it would have been cd36 today so at least clomid has been giving me my af! I keep reading yes and no to this question- if you have af does that mean you have ovulated? Baring in mind I use to go months without af and now I got it on cd35/36 and last cycle cd42???

I was wondering the same. My progesterone level was low, and the doc told me I didnt ovulate. but my temps DID rise, I got positive OPK, and I got AF, as always. So whats the deal? Can you have all signs of the big O, but not really have Od?

 

[daopdesign]

I saw my private FS last week (he is the top dog of all consultants at my local hospital) and I asked him exactly the same question and he said yes - if you get AF you DID ovulate. If AF doesn't show whilst on Clomid then you didn't ovulate. It seems to vary amongst consultants!

 

[caz & bob]

girls well oh mum and dad has just got back from benidorm they loved it there's another 2 preggo people in the family so hope the 3 rd one is me been shopping now chill in x x x

 

[scerena]

Well af is here do I up my dose to 150mg or stay on 100mg? Or should I wait until next month and see if I'm getting my laparoscopy done still and save it for after then?

So sorry about your chemical. Is there anything they can do for an implantation problem?

 

[MrsBrown]

Sorry to hear about your Implantation Problem Pretty .... **BIG HUGS**

 

[prettynpink29]

TeddyBearPug- Thank you. My obgyn thinks that taking progesterone will help.. And possibly a trigger shot. I want to get the opinion of my fertility specialist first, but I think that he is going to say the same thing.. I was going to try it this cycle, because of my chemical last cycle and my previous unexplained miscarriage, but my doctor really thought that clomid would just even everything out and everything would be good. I now wished I would have pushed for the progesterone.

MrsBrown- Thank you very much.

 

[messymommy]

To prettynpink29: I am praying the brownish spotting is just some breakthrough bleeding and your bean did stick. I remember when I had my son I had just found out I was pregnant and then the following night I went to he ER because I started to bleed and didn't know what else to do. I had lots of snotty brown blood and they called it breakthough bleeding and said I was 5 weeks and 2 days along I think but everything was okay.

As for those asking about if you get AF does it mean you ovulated. Well I don't have ovulation problems but I do have the problem of asking a million questions. With my doctor she makes me get a blood draw on cd21 while taking clomid. I've had 11 without clomid, 16.2 first mo. of clomid, 8 second mo. clomid and this cycle I didn't take the clomid because the doc said not to and gave me an HSG test and found both my tubes were closed but the dye opened my left one up. Thank you Jesus! But as for your question I was told that you can have AF without ovulating and the CD21 progesterone tells you if you had a good or bad ovulation. My 16.2 was a "very good" ovulation. My 11 was a normal ovulation (anything above a 10 is normal for unmedicated cycles) and my 8 was a "bad ovulation". I have heard some people only have like 0.?? on CD21 and that's because they didn't actually ovulate.

Hey prettynpink I'm so sorry to hear af got youbi have had two precious chemicals aswell I'm here if you need to talk as I know it's upsetting Hun try rest... How weird we always seem to get af on the same day! Like I said I'm here if you need to talk Hun xxxx

 

[happycloud]

Hi everyone. sorry for AF and for you, prettynpink
I'm cd 31, 15dpo, all BFN but no AF. I wish it would just show up if its going to show up. Sounds like I'll be like you ladies and probably all of sudden get it super fierce! I'm ready to move on if I need to!

 

[Lily7]

[happycloud]

has arrived. Got my second round of Clomid called in to start at the end of the week.

 

[TurboTurtle80]

One good thing about af is the start of a clean new cycle. I'm excited for you all. So here's my tests from this morning. I can see faint lines in person, but I'd like your opinions. Sorry for the bad pic. Still no af for me n I thought I felt it coming this morning, but I just feel bloated again. I don't like being in limbo. =(

[tinks80]

has anyone heard of being on clomid for 6 or 7 days instead of 5? if so what were the results?

ive been told they can do longer time frames at a lower dose to get more mature eggs? is this true?

thanks heaps
