Hi ladies, I had awful pains yesterday so did 2nd opk and it was positive so i think i ovulated. I had all the signs so it looks like i am in the 2ww.
Daydream - I hope you caught your eggie, I have awful pains when I ovulate too :(
AFM - I did a test this morning and got my BFP! I was so shocked as really didn't think their was much hope this month. Glad i am gradulating from this thread but sad people are still in here, I wish you all the best hope everyone gets their BFPs in the next few weeks so we can be in the same bellybuddy group!
Hi girls congrats Razzberry that is fantasic!! Daydream I hear you hope it's a sign of good luck.
AFM not so good went for another ultra sound today still not ovulating. Have to up the injection to double dose and take it for another four days and back Friday morning for another ultra sound.
How is everyone else going??
Razzberry congratulations, yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got my CD 21 results today and I haven't O'd. Positive OPK today though. Should my cycles be shorter on clomid or can they be the same. I have long cycles.
Great news Razzberry! Hope you are feeling terrific.
Mrs A and DB - sorry to hear that O isn't happening. Will they increase your dose of clomid?
One cycle of 50mg Clomid did diddly squat for me, so it was upped to 100mg, and it's done the trick. I ovulated about CD18 or 19, and a blood test at 5 or 6DPO shows my progesterone level is 16. I'm thrilled that clomid has worked, but obviously it's only half of the solution ... I'm half way through the TWW, so we'll just see what happens.
Wishing everyone lots of babydust xx
Hi Andie I'm off clomid onto gonal f injections that don't work. So next step in IVF. DDB yes it can muck up the length of cycles. Take care ladies
Hi All - I was wondering if I could join you in here?
Started my first cycle of clomid this cycle after trying since Aug 2008.
Am on CD 7 and feeling pretty positive and hopeful this will help us.
Well first cycle on clomid hasn't worked, up the dosage next cycle, to say I'm disappointed is an understatement.
I believe mind over matter to help me on this path but gosh I'm struggling with being positive, just want to give up but I want a little bundle more
Hello just popping my head in here. My FS is starting me on clomid this month. I do ov regularly however, he is hoping it may just kick things along a bit for us. Before we have to look at IVF.
Just wondering what days do you normally take the pills? I have seen a few people say different things.
I have some very mild brown spotting that is only there when I wipe, had it last month as well have never had it before. So AF must be on her way. My FS appointment is not until next Monday so I don't want to miss my chance to start clomid just because I might be too far into my next cycle by next Monday.
Any advice appreciated!
Joeve,
Apparently I am chasing you :lol:
When I took clomid, I took it day 4-8.
Hope that helps!
Chasing me on the alien baby hunt!
Would I only count CD1 when I hit full flow? Not just light brown smudge that I have now? Glad its past breaky time!
Yep, day one is first day of full flow according to my clinic.
joeve: i take clomid days 2-6, having said that the first cycle i had of it (ages ago now) i started day 8 but only because that is the day i saw my specialist and he said just to start that day and i conceived my DD that cycle.
as nothing2lose said day 1 is the first day of proper flow. do you have the clomid now or do you have to get it next week when you see the fs again ?
I have a sneaky packet love from a friend!:lol::lol:
hehe are you starting on 50mg or 100mg ?
50mg
I guess if full flow starts I should call FS and find out when he wants me to start.
Joeve: I think most say start day 2 or 4 so I guess you could decide yourself :-)
MM AF is not really starting properly so hope that my fs is ok to start day 4 which would be around Monday and Tuesday and after I see him.
Ok me again :). Given the poor timing of my cycle and Christmas it looks like I can't get monitoring to start clomid. Dr kind of suggested I should have monitoring but also said I could monitor just with opk. Would you do a unmonitored clomid cycle for your first cycle? Next month would be monitored as everyone is back from holidays. I will be on moved to ivf in feb so only have 2 months to try clomid not sure I want to waste one by not starting.
Honestly, I would go for it unmonitored. The worst that can happen is multiples.
N2l thanks I sound so dumb with all my questions! I have another med I have to take after it to help with lining thickening also. Multiples is ok as long as it's not Octomum!
Joeve: I have never been monitored on a clomid cycle (& I have done many cycles !) the only thing I have sometimes is progesterone done 7dpo
I think you will be fine on 50 mg unmonitored. You might want to chart a few days or use OPK's so you have some idea what is happening because clomid can change your O date. Best of luck hun xoxo
Sneaking in....
Jo do it unmonitored... If you have multiples you will knock, it over in one hit lol
Sneaking out ...

Thanks everyone! Ok I will start popping tonight cd5.
Hello Ladies, I am so sorry I haven't been in in ages. It has been very busy. My 3rd cycle of Clomid in October did the job but unfortunately I MC's so I had November off the Clomid and am now back on it again. Have just had 4 days of pos OPKs. The side effects this month were the worst they have ever been.
How are you all?
Hi ladies, I am wondering if anyone can help. I have had 4 days of pos opks, then yesterdays was what i would call negative and todays majorly positive, what is going on? Its driving me bananas
Sneaking in to say EXACTLY the same thing happened to me this month! I put it down to diluted wee, but I have also read that LH can dip just before a surge.
I would say, from what I have read, today is your surge. You will ovulate in the next 12-36 hours!
Good luck :)
Clomid can cause false positive OPK's if you test too close to when you took the clomid. I think it's something like 3-5 days you have to wait from the last tablet until you can safely rely on OPK's.
I took Clomid last on CD 9 and now CD 21, so started OPKS on CD 14.
i guess i'm back in here now.
not sure that i expect to ovulate on clomid, but my Gyne wants to give it a go, so i figure why not? after resigning myself to being a one child family unless a miracle happened, this has thrown me a bit of a curve ball! have just finished taking them CD 2-6, with CD 21 BT being the only monitoring we'll have (which won't happen til CD23 - don't think pathology will open just for little ol' me on NYDay!)
given i have pcos, can't use OPK's to check for ovulation, so we'll be winging it i guess. i'm not wanting to become obsessive over it like i have in the past - i can't take myself away from DH and DD like that, so i'm really just going to try and relax and make the most of the excuse to be close to DH from christmas to new years lol
I have taken all mine and hopefully my opks come in the post tomorrow.
A few hot flushes but apart from that all is good.
I am starting another drug today that helps with lining thickening that clomid can cause. Anyone else take this with clomid?
Nothing2Lose-ty for letting me know. Hopefully that is the case :)
Briggsys Girl-You can whinge in here all you want to. BT monitoring is also all I have on the Clomid.
Joeve-I havent taken this other drug, do you know what its called?
AFM-not sure whether or not I have O'd. I only have one OPK left but will do it when I go to the loo.
BG - welcome :) good luck
DDB -its called progynova its oestradiol
Joeve-ty
i had a really positive opk yesterday and intense pain in left side. will jst have to wait and see
Get busy!!!
Girls I need HELP!
I am sick. Really sick. I have the runs, terrible nausea. Hot flushes up the wazoo. I have a phobia of committing, so this is setting off serious panic attacks. Is it a sidd effect of the clomid?
I have come to the scary conclusion today that I won't cope being pregnant without a lot more help controlling the vomit phobia. Can I do something to ruin this cycle? I know this sounds irrational given I would live more children but I am seriously traumatized by the ms from dd's pregnancy and I'm not as ok with it as I thought
Can you take Maxalon or Valium while TTC? Sorry to hear about the anxiety :hug:.
A akin doing nothing. Valium is a no go. Instead of calming me it sends my heart into hyperdrive. So does phenergan...
