LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin 2009 #3

[Porsche]

Mez - DH won't have his swimmers tested until next week - sorry my post must have been confusing - had alot to get out! Sorry to hear you have had an allergic reaction - but to what? Can you put anything on the affected area?

Tammara - Great result!

Porsche - I haven't used pre-seed, but perhaps I should as I think the Clomid has had an effect 'down there' with lubrication.... Are you just DTD when you get a + OPK or do you have a 'science' to it?

Hi RhiChiChi

Last cycle we DTD every second day using the pre seed. but I thought we were due to O around CD14-16 roughly as that is when I had O previous cycles. So we used it around those days but every second day. But after I noticed EWCM (CD21) I did an OPK and 2 days later it was a + so I freaked out a little as I only had 1 application of pre seed left.

This cycle though we will DTD every second day starting as of CD9 (Sunday just gone) as well as using OPK's. But I won't use the pre seed until I get a + OPK. I'm supposed to O between CD10 - 16 but that isn't set in stone. I'm also taking my BBT so I can track it that way as well.

I use a Clomid calculator so I can get a rough idea of when I do O. it gives me a rough guesstimate of the dates I should start testing for LH as well as roughly when I should O and when to start making love. Except for last month it has been pretty spot on for me. The info is at Baby Med if anyone is interested.

I think I O'd late last cycle (cycle 6) because the cycle before that (Cycle 5) I got a + HPT for 2 days on IC and then a - on a crystal clear so I may have been very early pregnant or it was a chemical pregnancy. That's all I can put the late O down too. I don't know for sure if i was pregnant as I didn't have a BT as this all happened over the space of 3 days. I just put it down to 2 faulty IC and an accurate crystal clear.

I hope that makes sense. I think I've confused myself lol.
