Hey Carley, all the very best with this cycle, the one good follicle is what you need to aim for... so good job!!
Just wanted to wish everyone a very merry christmas and a happy new year... February is getting closer and closer now... back to TTC after a 4 month break!!! Its been good not to worry about TWW and clomid and trigger injections and the like! Can highly recommend a break!
Anyway, talk to you all in the new year!!
-
Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New years and that all you wish for will come true this year.
Well just to update......i did end up O on day 17 so yay the clomid is doing its thing. I'm just a bit concerned that my doc didn't order any scans or CD21tests, anyone else in this boat. So clomid worked taking it days 5-9, what is the difference of taking it on different days.... say 2-6 etc ? Anyway period arrived (very heavy!!!) on day 30 (new years day) and I'm all keen for round two now.
Hope to hear from you all soon and good luck !!!

Hi everyone
This is my 1st posting so I apologise if I'm not posting in the right place (and for long post!). I had a lap in March 07 (dx with moderate endo) and fell pregnant naturally on the 1st go in May 07 only to miscarry with a blighted ovum at 7 wks. Since then my DH and I have been trying to conceive with no success. My cycles are extremely regular at 28 days and my temps and body tell me I ovulate on day 14 of each month (I get EWCM each month, temps show I ovulate on day 14 and although not as accurate I get O pain most months). I went to my OB a couple of weeks ago because not yet preg and he's put me on 50mg of clomid from days 5-9. After reading this thread, I've realised that people are having scans to see if they've ovulated and bloods while on clomid. He has prescribed none of this. He gave me a prescription and told me to give it a go for 4 cycles and go see him if I'm not pregnant after that. This concerns me as I really think that I am ovulating but just haven't fallen preg. I'm afraid of hyperstimulation and of taking drugs 'unsupervised'. I'm really not sure what to do. Am I being over-cautious or should I go back and ask for scans/tests? I'd also like to know if anyone with endo is taking clomid? I thought that Clomid was for those who don't O but I'm pretty sure that I do. Could this be harmful? I should be starting clomid in 2 days and not sure if I should take it... Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks so much to all of you for making this such a great site.
Wishing you all a wonderful '08 with loads of BFP's!!!

Hi everyone!
I hope you all had a great Xmas and enjoyed your New Years Eve!!
TwoMums: Thanks for your welcome. Not long now till Feb comes around and your back on the TTC journey. Enjoy January!!
Kristen160: Your cycle sounds v. similar to mine! I O around cd17 and was due for AF New years Eve but she reared her ugly head on New Years Day :(
I was on my first cycle of Clomid last cycle. I took it from day 2-6. Not sure of my FS reasoning on this?? I then had an int/us on day 11 to see what follicles had matured (which was only 1) and then had my trigger injection the following day to stimulate O. I then went back to him again on cd19 (as cd21 landed on Xmas time when they were to be closed) and had bloods done. He rang me the next day to let me know that bloods came back showing that I had O and my hormone levels were exc! It was all good news for us at this time. When AF arrived I was devastated and so was my FS when he rang me yesterday when I told him I had bad news for him. Oh well, we will just try again! This cycle I'm having the monitoring again from my FS on the days mentioned above :pray: Good luck with everything from your end! I hope this info helps you :)
To everyone else, wishing us all lots of :bluedust: for 2008

Hello ladies,
It has been sometime since I posted mainly due to Chrissy preparations. Hope you all had a fabulous festive season and New Year.
To update you, my last cycle (3rd) finished with AF arriving on New Years early morning .... blah. Very disappointed. Whilst on clomid for 3 months, my emotions were fairly stable, I think because I knew I was on something that was hopefully going to get me past the line. With my clomid cycle now completed and being no further advanced, my emotional state is starting to wane again.
We have FS appointment next week to discuss our next course of action, either IUI or IVF. DF and I have not come to an agreement as yet on which avenue we should pursue. I haven't read many success stories with IUI. Has anyone got or know of any success stories with this procedure or how many cycles are recommended?
Kristen160: When I was on my first cycle of clomid, my FS only performed a ultrasound to check follicle size etc. I was not asked to come in for US on my second and third cycles, only to have the bloods.
Wishing everybody the best and hope it's great in 2008 for all of us!

Hi everyone -
Need some advise. I'm just starting round two 50mg clomid.....1st cycle my temp remained between 36.4 - 36.6 degrees until after ovulation then it increases to 36.7 - 37.1 degrees. I then got my period and it dropped that day to 36.7 then next day 36.6 then 36.4.......... Ok I'm getting to my point now. This cycle I'm up to day 5 and have started taking clomid and my temp from day 4 (before taking clomid) has been back up to 36.7 and 36.8 degrees.
Could anyone suggest why this could be or has anyone experienced this before?? Any suggestions may help. Thanks
Lits - I can sympathise with you as my doctor also gave me a prescription and thats it...no scans or teasts etc... and it wasn't until I joined this thread that I got concerned. I've just finished my first cycle of Clomid 50mg with no success (although according to my temp. I did ovulate which is a good thing) and am just starting round 2 now. I think everyone has different reasons why they are on Clomid and I'm just trusting my specialist on this one. But I do understand your worry and I would say if you are that worried just ring him up and ask why he hasn't ordered tests (then let me know too!!). I may be wrong but others are on other drugs and trigger injections and this may be reason for the other teats??? Not sure though. Hope it helped.
Kellyd - How is everything going for you. Fingers crossed
dcm - wow we do sound similar and I was disappointed as well new years day, but hey round two maybe better for us both. Ive started my clomid 50mg today for round two but my temp for some reasons has been higher for the last few days as compared to last cycle so I'm a bit concerned as to why this is and hope it goes back down before O so I can see it rise again and fingers crossed.

Hi everyone
I am back after having a 2 week camping holiday, back to work tomorrow (bummer). Well I am now into 3rd Clomid cycle. Nothing worse than your period starting when you are on holidays, let alone camping but can only look forward I suppose.
Back onto taking 25mg to see if this will allow only 1 or 2 follicles this cycle. Will be calling my clinic tomorrow to book in for my day 10 scan but think it will be a day 12 as that will be the Monday, so fingers crossed for then to see if the Clomid is doing the right thing by me this cycle. If not, will probably be having to review the options and maybe having injections instead.
So fingers crossed for Monday 14th to see if anything promising.

Hi ladies,
I haven't been around for a while but could use your advice/expertise right about now!
I was diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago and my gynie suggested Clomid. I'm sorry to say that I actually had to think it over for a while coz he went to great pains to point out that the chance of conceiving twins increases dramatically under Clomid and as I'm pushing 35, that's not something I think I can handle.
But I've decided to give it a go.....nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? So I'm looking for some info on what to expect from this, ie. side effects, etc. All he's done is given me a script for 2 months worth, told me to take it for five days from Day 1, have a hormone test on day 21, 22 or 23 and do a HPT if my period is late. Is this what it's like for others??
Help!!!

Hello girls! This thread is starting to liven up again - hope all had a great new years!
lynros it sounds like i'm in a similar situation as yourself. I'm on my 3rd clomid cycle, and seeing as the first 2 have not shown any results, then i'm not too positive about this cycle either! Next FS appt is 14th Jan, so will also be discussing IUI v's IVF... i'm happy to try IUI before going to IVF, but choosing the least invasive approach has always been my mode of thinking throughout this ttc journey, just suits me better is all. Best of luck to you :goodluck:
kristen160 have you had an infection recently or cold ect? On my 1st clomid cycle, my temp also rose to 37 on day 5 or 6, but it turned out that i had an infection due to an injection i'd had a few days prior... i started freaking out at first, and even poas just to check i wasn't preg! Hope your temps stabilise in time for O :crossfingers:
kellyD i sure know what it's like camping and then AF shows up! My DH and i camped around Oz for 6mths!! Best of luck for your scan next monday :goodluck:
mjg my FS pretty much told me the same as yourself... i'm on 50mg clomid on cd5 - 9, with a day 23 progesterone test, then poas if no AF! I havn't had any results however, so will be discussing IUI as our next step... i guess different FS have a few different procedures depending on the individual patient. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.... however if my FS offered a scan to see how many follies have developed, i would be interested in knowing, and now i know about the scan, i would have asked my FS about having it done from the beginning!! Hope that makes sense! I think i'm confusing myself!
Have a great day y'all :D tp xx

Hi Mel,
I also have PCOS and have been taking Metformin and Clomid (3rd round of clomid), but I have been taking it from days 5 to 9 and ovulated, 1st round - day 15, 2nd & 3rd rounds - day 11.
I already do ovulate, but they gave me clomid to help with the levels.
Good luck in your endeavours to conceive. I wish you all the best.....

Hi ladies,
Thanks for your info! The evil AF is on her way (I think) so I guess I'll just start on CD1 and see what happens from there. One of my friends (who has 4 ruggies) has lent me her microscope so I can keep an eye on the saliva so :crossfingers:
I guess being the first round, I'll do what the :doctor: says (like a good girl) and wing it.
Cheers,

Hi there LITS,
I had a lap at 38yrs and was told all my plumbing was great. And even though I ovulate my Gyno (also a IVF specialist) put me on Clomid for about 4 or 5mths. And I never fell pregnant but just had every single side effect whilst taking them.
I went on to have my 1st bub at 40 with the help of a herbal formula through the Ruth Sharkeys Healing Centre in QLD. Might sound like a plug for them but they put my cycle on track which it hadn't been for over a decade. After taking the formula for only 4mths I was having a 28 or 29 day cycle ... And PRESTO I was pregnant 4mths later !!!!
So, I truely don't think there was any signs in problems in taking the Clomid earlier on.
*** All the very best to you :goodluck:
-
Hi mjg
Good luck with your first cycle. You have been advised correctly about the higher chance of multiples, but my philosophy is that if I am luck to have one or more then it will be worth it. I am the same as you (35 next month with PCOS) but without trying you will never know.
I am being moitored by a FS every clomid cycle I commence to make sure that there are not too many follicles growing. I have a scan generally between days 10 - 14 and then do home O tests.
First cycle of clomid (25mg) had lots of small follicles grow but nothing matured. Second cycle of clomid (50mg) had 5 follicles mature and had cycle cancelled due to high risk of excessive multiples. Due to the large number of follicles suffered from Hyperstimulation and was in a lot of pain and discomfort for about a week (severe bloating, lower abdo pain).
Am now on 3rd clomid cycle back at 25mg to see if this lets only 1 or 2 follicles mature. As for the side effects I generally get a higher body temp when taking the clomid (not fun at the moment seeing Melb has been suffering a heatwave), some mild abdo bloating and a slight headache.
You might be lucky a breeze through your cycle with no side effects or you might get some. Fingers crossed for you that everything goes well.
-
Hi MJG, what you have described is pretty much the norm the only difference with me was, on my first cycle of clomid i had a hormone test on about day 11 and went in the following day for a scan to check how many follicles and the size - at that time i had 2 follicles. This procedure was only on my first cycle, the remaining 2 cycles were as you have described. Good luck!
Hi Theresep, i go to see FS tomorrow and it is likely that we will also opt for IUI - IVF seems so final for me, at least i know if IUI doesn't work i've got IVF to consider. I'm not sure if this is the right thing or not, my sister thinks i should go straight to IVF because my chances are higher. I know one thing, unless you are going through 'infertility', you can't appreciate the decisions that need to be made, and the heart ache endured month after month with each failed attempt. But amazingly, i'm looking forward to my FS appt and taking the next steps towards becoming pregnant. Good luck this round!
-
Hi Ladies,
Well am currently on TWW from 3rd Clomid cycle with first trigger. Aparently after 2 months of tracking my hormones,the clinic discovered that I have a naturally high LH, and so even though Clomid was helping me produce follies, they were'nt entirely convinced that my LH was surging enough to release them. Had an ultrasound before to check for follies and had 2 big ones ready to go - so hopefully they've released and AF doesn't show her face!!!
Feeling good and sending best wishes and lots of luck to everyone!!

Hi all
Had day 12 scan today on 25mg and have 1 good follicle at 17mm. So doing home O tests till Friday to hope that O happens. If not will have trigger injection at end of week. So finally something promising this cycle. Fingers crossed all goes well.
-
Hey Kel,
This is my 3rd cycle on Clomid too at 25mg. Had my first trigger injection last week and should know by next week! Best of luck to you...I'll be thinking of you!!
-
Hi emma83 and kellyd - i may not be too far behind you two, if things improve on this cycle, but i'm not too confident.... i'm on my 3rd clomid cycle, 50 mg, cd 15, had FS appt yesterday, with a scan, and there are follies, but none of any decent size... seems to be a pattern developing, which indicates i'm only ovulating every 2nd cycle, so looks like this current cycle is my 'dud' one! Have BT today to check prog levels, then another scan on thursday, and if any follies have improved, will have trigger shot.
I feel positive for the two of you - sounds like you both have nice, healthy follies ready to go! Goodluck :goodluck: tp
-
Hi everyone,
KellyD and emma83 - glad to hear everything is going well for you two this cycle - good luck!
teresep - sorry to hear this cycle is not looking good :( really hoping that things improve for you!
As for me, I have not been around here much last cycle, it was pretty much a total bust and I am so not happy about it :( Couldn't see the point in posting when I didn't know if I was in a TWW or not!
My temp chart seems to indicate that I didn't ovulate, but I must admit I stopped temping in disgust at about day 23 :rolleyes: so who knows maybe I O'ed later in the cycle. Anyway my cycle went for 37 days (normally it is 26 days) and ended with really light bleeding which I wasn't even sure was AF for a few days. I didn't have a cd21 prog to confirm it because my ob doesn't monitor subsequent cycles when you have previously ovulated as I have, and to top it off he is on holidays at the moment so I can't ring him and ask any questions!
Considering that I O naturally according to my charts and the Clomid is supposed to be fixing a LPD, it has been a bit of a blow to probably not even O this month :wall:
Anyway, I have not taken it this month - we are going it alone until we see a FS at the end of Feb. I have just been under the care of my ob (who delivered my DD), so we've decided it is now time to go that step further and see a specialist in infertility. We're just feeling really frustrated that after almost 14 months TTC, a chemical preg and a miscarriage we are no closer to having another child, not to mention we are both not getting any younger!
All the best to everyone and good luck!!
-
Hi Theresep!
Well I was naughty and did a HPT yesterday which showed up a faint positive but still visible from arms length. I know this could easily be because of the trigger shot...but I guess after TTC for so long...I just wanted to see a BFP. Anyway it made me smile even though I know full well it's probably wrong :) LOL what an idiot.
I told my partner and said to him that I'll do another in about a week and if it's still there or darker I'll start getting excited, but if it's gone or lighter - I'll suspect the trigger was responsible!

Megsmum - lovely to hear from you again (although it would be better to see you in the preg threads). Sorry your last cycle went belly up, mine too, and i've given away with temping this cycle, as it was getting to the stage in my tww, where i would be waking up at crazy hours, like 3 or 4 am, then wondering what my temp was going to be, and not being able to go back to sleep! Wishing you all the best with your next FS appt :goodluck:
Emma83 - i know what you mean by wanting to see a BFP - how exciting, i hope the line gets darker for you!! :crossfingers:
If this current cycle of mine doesn't result in a BFP, then my FS wants me to do another clomid, but this time with full monitoring, scans etc. I'm having a scan on thursday, to see if any follies have developed further, so will know more then.
Best of luck to everyone :D. tp
-
Thanks teresep :) I really hope you get some good news this cycle! I'm just so annoyed about last cycle - I know having it monitored probably wouldn't have made a difference, but I'm definitely not doing another unmonitored Clomid cycle. If the FS recommends trying it again I'll be happy to, but I'm not touching it until I see him!
I know exactly what you mean about the not sleeping when temping too - it drives me nuts! I do exactly what you said you do - wake up and wonder and can't get back to sleep. So that could also account for my dodgy temp chart last cycle too :rolleyes: I also find that not being able to sleep well seems to be a side effect of the Clomid for me - I can't sleep while I am taking the tabs and for about 2 weeks later. Do you find that also?
emma83 - LOL at your test! I hope it turns into a real BFP for you :)
All the best everyone, don't know if or when I'll be back at this stage!
-
Hi Girls
megsmum & theresep - hopefully something positive will happen for you both in the near future.
emma83 - fingers crossed for you that the BFP gets stronger.
I've been doing home O tests but still no positive, so even though a good follicle I get the feeling that I won't O on my own. Have to call FS on Friday if still no positive to have trigger shot. This is the first of the 3 clomid cycles I have been on where I have a follicle for the cycle to continue so this next step is new to me. Am hopeful that a trigger will get things happening and that I then might be into the TWW next week.
-
Megsmun - i've actually found that the 3rd clomid cycle affected me the most, the 1st two i didn't have any side effects, but on the 3rd, i would wake up feeling really groggy - almost like i had a hangover! Also had a few headaches.
I had made up my mind prior to seeing my FS that i would request full monitoring if he suggested a 4th cycle, but in the end i didn't need to push him for it, he was keen :D.
KellyD - i have a scan today, and if my follies have improved from my last scan (monday) then i will also have trigger shot ..... wwhhhoooo, a little nervy about injections! Best of luck to you hun :goodluck:
Emma 83 - how are you feeling? Has the line darkened yet?
Well i'll share some positive vibes now, that being about 5 nights ago, i had a dream where i had a lovely round PREGNANT tummy! I woke up feeling great!
Warm wishes :heartbeat: tp
-
Hi Ladies,
Well I tested again yesterday afternoon and the line had almost dissapeared so I started to beome doubtful. However last night could sleep because of cramping. Nothing serious but enough for me to think that maybe there is still a chance especially if what I was experiencing was implanation??? I am 9 DPO today so highly likely there is still a chance. Gums started bleeding last night while brushing my teeth also, and BBs and a little tender!!!
Have been trying to actually visualize that something is happening in there, so fingers crossed its working!!!
How is everyone else going?
-
Hi All
Emma83: Big :crossfingers: for you. Power of positive thinking and all that.
Well my O testing has only shown BFN, so having trigger this afternoon and then baby making commences. Only problem is we have house guests all weekend (have been with us all week actually - the inlaws), but isn't that always the way. Have had to sneak around this week as haven't told them that we are trying.... Too much pressure for a grandchild etc.
So this time next week should be doing prog blood test.
Good luck everyone.
-
Hi everyone
Emma83 - How exciting and best of luck
megsmum & theresep & KellyD - Hope you have positive results soon. Sending you good vibes.
Well my second cycle of 50mg Clomid has been confusing, my temp has gone up and down all cycle. I O last cycle on day 17 (I think - judging by the temp rise) so started using O test this time to pinpoint time etc and I only ever got two faint lines on two days but no positive....although the last 2 days (day 17/18) I have had cramps (slightly stronger than O i think but don't really know) and bloating. My temp did jump .2 this morning. Anyway I'm definately booking in to see my specialist as I'm not doing another clomid cycle unsupervised as I have done till now.
Just a little sensitive at the moment and a bit unsure of things and whats happening.

Hi Ladies,
Emma - My :crossfingers: for you too!! Bleeding gums and sore BBs is a good sign!
Kelly - Best of luck with the sneaking around.....might be more fun that way!
I missed my window of opportunity to start my clomid this month - AF arrival coincided with trip to Melbourne and I forgot to take my script with me - :doh: That's what I get for being all up-on-the-fence about it all! So I'm gonna be doing the spit-on-the-microscope thing this month to see what (if anything) is going on, and get myself all organised for next month.
Question: Is it usual to start on 50mg straight up?
Cheers,
Mel.
-
Hi MJ - as far as i know, it's fairly common to start on the 50 mg ... that is what my FS prescribed for me - bummer about forgetting your script!! Goodluck with the spitting :)
Hi to everyone else! Enjoy the weekend. tp
-
very quick one tonight ladies. Just woke up from a nap and my head feels like someone hit me with a baseball bat :(
*Frequent urination
*Sore veiny BBs
*Tired
*Headaches
I REALLY hope something is going on in there, otherwise, I'm going completely nuts!
Lots of love and luck to all!!
-
Hi girls
I think I'm gonna join here. I'm doing 50mg this cycle with my GP.
My clinic usually puts me on 25mg with injecatbles, but going with my GP for a couple of cycles as I'm waiting until July to see my clinci again, I'm hoping clomid alone just does it and I don't have to go back into the city.
I'm gonna just give 50mg a shot and get b/w done on cd17. I don't normally Ovualate until cd19, I hope I ovulate early this cycle though, pretty sure I ovulated cd17 last cycle. OH well, I have nothing to lose anyway.
I'm also sticking to an alkaline diet as best I can. It took us 1 miscarriage and our 3rd IUI injects attempt to get my little 2.5 year old.
Looking forward in getting to know you all alot better.
lisa XO
-
Hi Kristen 160 - i agree with the next cycle being supervised ... my FS wants me to do a 4th clomid cycle, and this time it will be completely monitored. Hope your temps settle down ... sounds like you could have ovulated, going by the cramps and temp rise! :goodluck:
Sunflowers - your alkaline diet caught my interest ... any special tips there? I read another post where one of the ladies was drinking diluted apple cider vinegar 3x daily. I was once seeing a naturopath who suggested that an alkaline diet could be beneficial for me - he thought i had an overly acidic constitution. Tried his herbs for over 6mths, but to no avail ... but then endo was found, so this could have been preventing the herbs from working .... haven't returned to the herbs though ... so many "what if's"!
Emma 83 - all those signs you listed sound promising!! :crossfingers:
Well, i'm feeling a bit blah today, just down i guess, tired of this whole ttc thang! I feel as if i could just throw in the towel, stomp my feet, have a tanty and just forget about the whole lot!! I just have this constant sadness hanging over me at the moment, that i can't seem to shake off. I hope it will pass soon :(
Best wishes to everyone. tp
-
Hi Ladies,
Just a quick one. Good to see my temp continue rising so sounds good (although all my o tested were negative...wierd!!!). Sorry to be gross but about 2-3 days after i suspected O I have started to get excess of cervical mucus/discharge in a white colour (almost thrush like but with no other symptoms). I suspect it may have someting to do with the Clomid. Anyone else experienced this.
Emma83 - Yay sounds good
Theresep - I'm sorry to hear you are bummed and a bit sad. It can easily take over our lives and all our thinking. I get carried away sometimes and have even bought pregnancy mags and books and i hate to admit it but also baby cloths, but then I get really down about it so now I'm trying to not get ahead of myself. I feel your frustration. Take care of yourself
-
Thanks Kristen160, - i'm feeling better today, just a bit off the other day :rolleyes:
I must admit, i've also bought a couple of little baby clothes, they are just so sweet, and it was on special - i couldn't resist! They are in the bottom of one of my drawers!
Glad your temp is still rising - i haven't been temping this cycle - needed a break from it, so who knows what mine is doing ... i'm actually in my tww, but not overly confident i ovulated this cycle, so not really believing i would be pg. I've also had more then usual discharge post O this cycle - also wondered if it was from the clomid.
Take care, tp.
-
Hi Kristen & Therese
Kristen: Not to sure about the increase discharge, mine gradually increased leading up to O, although I did have the help of the trigger.
Therese: I think sometimes it's good to have a little something, you never know when you will need it. I have been in the possession of boxes of baby clothes and even a cot for about the last 3 years (given to me by my sister when my neice didn't need them anymore). She even sent me a Baby Bag last week and I am also in possession of 3 baby books and a baby names book as well. I find the books are really good at keeping me informed of what to expect in these pre conception and early conception days.
Well I am now coming up to my 5th day since the trigger shot, so possible 4 DPO and have tonight noticed a small amount of spotting. Only at day 20 in this cycle and having BT on friday to check prog levels. I have been advised not to do a preg test until 17 days passed the trigger, which is the 4th Feb. So I am in my TWW plus some.
-
Hey kelly.. I am in Geelong.. not too far from you
-
Hi Ladies
Well some good news finally, I received the results from my Prog blood test on Friday afternoon and the level was 57.4, I was told that over 10 means O definately happened so 57.4 was a great reading. So now on the TWW for Monday week to do P test. All looks promising so far.
Hi didispunk, yeah only an hour away. Is your FS in Melb or in Geelong??? I was really lucky as we only moved to Ballarat last June and they have a really good IVF/Fertility clinic here so I don't have to travel to Melb for treatment. Also the FS is my Obgyn so if all things go to plan he will deliver as well.
-
Good luck Kelly.. I am testing on 13DPO.. so iam hopeful!!! My Gyno is here in Geelong, i am seeing a new one Feb14.. if i need to.. So i am going to double up on gyno's. My friends have gone ot the ballarat IVF clinic.. they have kids now..
-
Hi everyone,
Im up to day 29 now (O day 17). Yesterday I started spotting (started off pink, then browny, now a dark red), almost like just before a period arrives but this morning still just spotting. Last night the deed was done and this increased the bleeding for a brief moment, don't know if that makes a difference or not. How light is it to be considered implantation bleeding, from what I've read this is meant to be pretty light?
Just unsure if what I'm experiencing is a light period and I should start my round 3 of clomid or something far more exciting!!!!!!! My last period after 1st round of clomid was very heavy (may be due to the fact that I hadn't had a period in a while other than induced by primulot prior to starting clomid)
Did a home preg test day 27 (10 day post O so probab;y to early) one of the ones that is accurate up to 5 days before your period is due, and it was negative :(. Still trying to stay positive:)
I'll stop rammbling now just wanted to share my frustration and ask for any opinions.

Dam it I spoke to soon, that time of the month is definately here. Feeling disappointed :(, booking in to see specialist on Fri to ask for next round to be monitired. Part of me thinks I should give this round a miss and see what happens as all my tests were clear and anatomically everything is fine but I just wasn't ovulating.
All the best, another month another chance :)
