mollie: yeah i do opt's and he last few cycles i have had BAD ovulation pain so i know its happening but i don't know if its a "good one" iykwim
mum2onesweetbun: its frustrating isn't it when you don't even get the most basic monitioring, im almost hoping this round doesn't work cause then i will be off to the clinic where i know they monitor more !
minniemouse, my pain has gone this cycle! that was how I used to know I was ovulating. But yesterday I had lots of lotion CM which always comes the second day after O. It's really weird, I have BT today so I will be able to check. If you are having pains I'd say you are definitely ovulating. I had bad pains the other cycles, especially the second cycle, and my progesterone was in the 200's!
Mollie, Are you having all those BT for every cycle? I have day21 BT, but no scans. I would like scans, but haven't got around to organising them. I also have two more cycles of clomid to go, but i may get more as two cycles were wasted because we didn't BD anywhere near O date.
M2OSB, yeah ttc BD is no fun at all sometimes. It kills the passion, I used to do the same thing (avoid fights at O time) but I just couldn't help myself this cycle.
AFM, I think I did O the other day, but there is absolutely no chance for me. Last BD was a week before O day So now I just wait for AF. Now is probably not the greatest time to conceive for DH and I, but I'm afraid if I wait it will be harder and may not even happen! I have been off the pill for 18 months and still no luck.
Good luck to all of you this cycle!
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!

Aww Tasha, sorry to hear you couldnt BD.
AFM, I feel so positive about this cycle that I am starting to feel very negative thinking that I have worked myself up too much IYKWIM LOL. We DTD on CD18 and CD19. My fertility monitor showed I ovulated and my temp is climbing up on FF.
Today i felt really sad because we ABSOLUTELY DID EVERYTHING RIGHT! and thinking i will be disappointed again. I just cant shake that feeling off.
Williever - good luck with IVF wishing you success on your 1st round and a beauitiful baby in your arms later this year.
m2osb - I smiled when i read your earlier comment about holding your tongue when DH was arguing cause you were ovulating. I honestly dont know how many times i have done this or apologised when its not my fault just to make peace cause im ovulating. I understand your sadness when you do everything right and feel it has not worked but really hoping your wrong and you get your BFP you never know so keep your chin up and have a great day.
Tash - I'm so sorry you did not get to BD at the right time this round
AFM - I was in hospital when my AF arrived since i was not sure when it was coming was not prepared and i was in for a few days and missed taking clomid so fustrated. So im out this month. For something other people seem to be able to do so easily i just dont think this TTC should be so hard for us. BABY DUST TO EVERYONE
Hi rai, you may still O without clomid. They say it stays in your system for a while. I would still look out for O signs and give it a go
Well for the last couple of hours I have had O pains. Not as bad, but definitely there. I don't understand what's going on, since clomid every cycle has been pretty consistent. I have a 32 day cycle, I O on CD18 and have pains that day, then 2 days later I have lots of creamy cm for a few days. But this is CD21 for me, I already had creamy cm yesterday so why am I having pain today???
So confused! it will be good if I am ovulating late because then we can BD tonight.
Anyone else had this problem??

They were definitely O pains, just can't explain the creamy CM the day before. I was looking forward to not having to stress this cycle with no chance at all, but now I guess I will have to! And it could be all for nothing if the pains just came late!
Actually, I just called my FS, my progesterone levels were only 9, BUT I had my BT in the morning and later that night the pains started. So i would definitely say it was late O.
