    Hiya everyone,

    I am quite new here, joined BB a year ago, had a few posts but haven't been able to pop in regularly due to work and travelling. Just want to say hi and join this tread as I become a clomid girl as of today.

    We have been TTC for 3 years now. No appearant reasons been found so far for failing to conceive apart from my mild endo. Only recently, my chinese herbalist tested my prog level on Day 21 and she thought it was a bit low (26), so I was referred to a FS which we visited today, he gave us 3 options, clomid, IUI and IVF. So I took the easiest one, hoping after 5 days poping pills I will be pregnant soon.

    FS would like to monitor my 1st cycle on clomid, he mentioned day 2-3 b/t and I was also prescribed an injection to trigger the egg-release mid cycle. Have anyone done similar things on their cycles' with clomid? What other things/test involved or anything that I should be mindful? Thanks in advance for the tips girls.

    Sorry I haven't been able to catch up with the old thread and don't know many people here.

    But reading your post Hayseed, what is NFI, sounds awful, I hope you are feeling a lot better now and headache is gone.

    Monnie, hope your weekend catching up with your 'fertile window' working out fine...

    BeiBei, welcome to the wonderful world of clomid. Mind if I ask where abouts in Sydney you are located and who your FS is? There's a long saga of why I'm refusing to see my gynecologist again but it centres around the lack of monitoring while on clomid, so any hint of a specialist who monitors closely and I'm certainly interested!
    NFI means no f***ing idea. You get used to the lingo and abbreviations pretty quickly.

    Hayseed, triphasic just means that there are three different levels of temperatures (pre-O, post-O and later on in cycle) and it's a possible indication that you may be pregnant. Sorry to hear about the headaches, sounds dreadful!

    As for me... succeeded in my plans of having a good day right up until the afternoon when I had a little melt down and lost it at work... fortunately I was done teaching for the day. Amazing how quickly I've gone from feeling over-medicated to barely holding it together.

    Willow, I do hope you are ok and that we will hear from you soon.

    Hi Guys!!

    WELCOME to all our new guys!! i am so looking forward to seeing you and seeing you move out ( in the BEST BFP way !)

    I've been MIA for so long but think it's time i posted I am still having ups and downs- well after my miscarriage in oct i had a natural 31 day cycle :eek: so this month i am back on the clomid though and am on day 20. I think i o'ed on day 16-17 but htis month i have had no ewcm to speak of and my pre-seed only arrived last night so i think we've missed the boat this month

    The month i conceived i felt a massive O pain adn had ewcm - so i just feel i'm out of the running and am devastated. i would so love a chrismans baby,

    Dh was like how do you know i and said " i just do" it's so differetn form teh month i concieved

    ALSO - aq i had my scan on day 11 with a 11mm follie - we BD that night and then missed 2 days and then twice the day after- what do you guys reckon?? i normally O in days 18/19
