Howdy All,
I am so confused and depressed at the moment.
My first cycle of Clomid 50mg didn't work. So I have taken Provera to bring on AF. Today is the 7th day after the last tablet of Provera. Yesterday I thought AF had arrived, it was light though. But today - NOTHING!! Except of course the cramping, which has been around for about a week now.
Could yesterday have just been spotting? and is this normal?
I really just think that I am going crazy now.
THanks
SAM
Oh sammy, so sorry things aren't going along as they ought to. So frustrating. I can't speak from experience, but I hope someone can answer your query for you and ease your concerns. There is a light at the end of this seemingly long tunnel! Chin up
Sammy, I don't want to get your hopes up but definately do a HPT tomorrow!
That happened to me when I was TTC#1 and it turned out I had O'd later than was expected with the first cycle of clomid and I was pregnant! I had spotting and rang the clinic who told me that any kind of a bleed was considered CD1, but by "CD5" when i was due to start clomid for the second cycle I still didn't feel right about it and I did a HPT and it was a BFP!
Hi LG,
So you had taken Provera to bring on an AF and you were actually pregnant??
ANd everything was OK. BEcause I was thinking that might be the case and have read that you shouldn't take Provera if you are pregnant.
Thanks
SAM
Hi Sammy, yes thats right. I took 7 days of provera when I was pregnant but I didn't know I was. It didn't do any harm. I think the risk of taking progesterone is later in the pregnancy (12 or so weeks I think) as it can cause genital defects. But taken in the first few weeks isn't so bad. Well, my beautiful little clomid baby is now 20 months old and is fit as a fiddle!! Absolutely perfect in every way!! Have you got a HPT? When will you test????!
Hi LG,
I received some HPT from Lullaby Conceptions when I bought some preseed and just did a test when I got home from work....but BFN.
But I thought I would do a test again on Friday morning and then call my Dr and ask him what was going on...because Saturday would have been Day 5 if yesterdays AF (or whatever it was) was Day 1 - and I am meant to be taking the Clomid on Days 5-9.
So maybe he will say to start the 100mg Clomid on Saturday anyway...unless of course Friday morning's test is a BFP?
How long have you been trying for bubba #2?
Thanks for your responses.
SAM
Bummer about BFN but try on Friday with FMU.
We've been trying for #2 for 6 months now on clomid which is really disapointing since I fell pg first clomid cycle when TTC#1 I don't know why it isn't working this time. Except I know we don't get as much BD time these days with our LO and DH working nights! But for the past 2 cycles I haven't O'd at all so I'm getting really down about it. I don't know if my gyno/ob will up the dose this time or what.
It could be too early to tell with you? Like i said before, i was supposedly on CD5 when I did a hpt. That would've been about 3 weeks after I O'd. What day did you have BT done? When I've had CD21 BTs it didn't pick up O, but CD24 BTs did which means I O on clomid around CD17.
Anyway, good luck!! make sure you let me know!! I'll be thinking of you!! I've got to have BT done on friday to check for O but I'm sure I didn't this time as I have been temping and using OPKs.
I hope that you get your BFP soon. I know what you mean about being down about not O'ing. ANd I have only not O'd on one cycle so far (at least I don't think I did). That is another thing that gets me down - the not knowing!
I had a BT on CD 21 and that was progesterone 1.0 and then I had another one on CD26 and that was progesterone 2.1. But on CD31 I had a lot of EWCM - very strange.
I took the Provera on CD 35 to CD 44.
Today is 8 days after the last Provera tablet and still no more bleeding of any kind.
But today I have really bad stomach cramps - and I have had them since 4am this morning - and really feel sick
Make sure you let me know how your BT goes on Friday?
SAM

Good luck Sammy!!
I'll be sure to pop a post in here about my BT results (although I'm sure it'll be very low progesterone).
Your symptoms sound promising... I'm really for you that you get a BFP in a couple of days!!! It's almost identical to my story TTC#1!!
hmmm...another update from me.....bleeding stopped again last night. So I had bleeding during the day and then absolutely nothing at night and so far nothing today. I seriously have no idea what is going on. I have called my Dr and left a message for him to call me back.
Hi
Spoke to my Dr yesterday and he said to count Tuesday as Day 1 so that means today is Day 5 so starting 100mg of Clomid tonight
LG, how did your BT go yesterday?
Fingers crossed for you.

Provera and Spotting???
It is so nice to have support from everyone on this web site and to know that I am not alone!
