    tasha: i think you are right, well i have been down the past few days so that applies to me, after waiting 24 days to ovulate i got to 5dpo and my bbs got sore so i knew it was over and today (9dpo) af arrived, i can't believe my luteal phase is so short, it is so frustrating

    so im going to start my increased dose of clomid, will be taking 100mg this time, my question is days to take it, my specialist says 4-8 but i have done that the last 3 cycles and have ovulated days 22,23,24, will starting any earlier and on the bigger dose change that ? whats everyone's experience ?

    Minniemouse, sorry to hear about AF. Dont worry I am the same If you take clomid days2-6 you will probably ovulate a couple of days earlier, but I don't think it really matters as long as you O. I'm not too sure about your LP, but I know there are things to help make it longer. I ovulate 12 days after my last tablet (cd18) and my LP is 14 days.

    But I am supposed to be ovulating today and I have absolutely NO symptoms what so ever. I am usually in pain and definitely notice I am ovulating. Now I'm worried I'm not ovulating this cycle for some reason! Has anyone else experienced this???

    Also my friend had a baby girl this morning. We are visiting her in an hour. I have so many mixed emotions....

    minniemouse, the baby is perfect, she's beautiful. 4 hour labour and no stitches! I had a few tiny tiny pains today but that's it, it doesn't look promising.

    M2OSB, can you still get a day21 BT to confirm that you ovulated? Yes I am really sick of ttc. All it has caused is fighting and heartache. Dh and I have hardly BD because all we have done is fight and all he has done is drink No O signs either so I don't know whats going on there.

    We really do need something to lift our spirits! but I don't think there's many left in here anymore.

    how about a roll call ? who is here ? anyone lurking ?

    i started my increased clomid last night, have to take next dose soon, im so tired though, tired of ttc, finding it hard to get the motivation to bd when im getting af 5 days early anyway so even if anything was happening it doesn't stand a chance, just seems pointless trying really :-(
