    you'll have to wait for AF one way or the other - i am going to be taking it cd2-cd6. initially i was taking it cd5-9 (no response so cd's has been changed)

    Years ago when I first took Clomid the FS had me start mid-cycle as a blood test indicated ovulation was nowhere to be seen. I did O and got AF 2 or so weeks later, then took clomid from CD3-7 on the next cycle and conceived DS1.

    Sorta, kinda, maybe...

    We've never tried to avoid a pregnancy happening. After a miscarriage in May froma natural pregnancy and a d&c last month from scary heavy bleeding, the gyne has given me clomid to see if it works. It didn't make me O before DD so it's not something I want to focus on. If it works, fantastic but if it doesn't, we simply aren't in a financial position to take it further so I am not allowing myself to get caught up in it too much. I am trying to live in the here and now because I know how emotionally taxing ttc is, how much I withdrew from Life before, and didn't want to withdraw from the DD we have because of the idea of having another kwim?

    So yeah, we are sorta kinda maybe ttc - but then we probably have been sorta maybe kinda trying since DD was born...

    Oh yeah I know what you mean,I could have written that post 18 months ago. LTTTC#1 sorta makes you want to protect your life and not jump back on the rollercoaster. Best of luck with it BG .
