    Tammara :- Going from what i remember they can fertalise the eggs for 3 - 5 days. They did my egg retreval on a Monday and then did the transfer on the Saturday so mine was 5 days.
    How exciting for you.. Just make sure once you have the transfer done, rest. I took a week off work to relax and i honestly think this must have helped even just a little. I warn you the wait for the bloods after they do the transfer to see if you are PG is horrible its the longest 10 days of your life, But be patient, positive and relax.
    I wish you all the luck in the world

    Clomid and cm

    Hey everyone so just took my 4th round of clomid I have noticed the last couple of times my cm has been sort of dry when it's usually clear and slippery around the time of ovulation I've heard taking robitussin cough medicine can help so have started taking it. It sounds a bit silly but it's meant to work. Does anyone know what else works? Xx

    Hi Bella,

    I have heard the Robitussen technique, and I have heard people swear by it!

    I took evening primrose oil and vitamin B6 along with my clomid.

    Good luck!

    Hi

    Bella, I've had the same problem, even before starting clomid. My FS said stay away from lube, even the so called 'fertility friendly' ones, which is what I had been relying on. I was almost going to try raw egg white but chickened out (lol). I found the best solution was to take the BD slow and get into it rather than just baby making sex...although when you have to BD every day during O time this can be hard!

    I always get AF 11 - 12 DPO. I'm up to day 12 DPO now and no sign of AF!!!! My temps are still high and I have no PMT symptoms or cramps, which I usually get. I did a preg test this morning and no BFP, but it's probably too early. I am I am UTD as I'm scheduled to have my lap next Thursday! I'm thinking I should go to the docs this Friday so I can get a blood test done in time before the lap. I've got a good feeling, but I don't know if it's just me getting my hopes up.
