Hi Stejen
Mmm so you are playing the waiting game now then, that's the worst part about the entire process! Taking your temp at an earlier time will definately make a difference so it could very likely explain the dip & so could the interupted sleep patterns too, so fingers crossed that's what it is? What was your temp before normally before you had the rise after ovulation? Sending out babydust!

Morning evertone:
Well I have POAS 9 times and got 9 positives with them all getting darker and darker.
I had a BT this morning and will get the results this arvo
I used a fantastic acupuncturist for the last 8 weeks, once a fortnight and I totaly believe it is him that helped us this time.
Nic I would strongly reccomend that you see him. He is in Halls Head and is brilliant. Let me know if you want his details. It isn't expensive either. $80 initial and $50 every time after that. My private health paid for nealry all of it so I was only out of pocket $17 each visit.
I will keep you guys posted as to how the BT results turn out
Fingers crossed

On my god Bee that is soooo exciting, is it too early to say congratulations because it sounds like a sure thing to me, im so excited for you guys!So when do you get the results back? I also used a accupuncturist & naturopath as well whilst we were TTC & I agree with you that the results were overwhelming. We tried for 18 months with various medications & then for the month leading up to my last round of clomid & also during I started the accupuncture & naturopathy & I fell pregnant that month, so I also highly recommend it for anyone having fertility issues. Well congrats again & let us know definately when you get your results back?

Bee-that's awesome. good luck with the BT
Stejan: Thanks, I totally feel like I'm on the path to success, and (although it was the most painful and heavy period EVER) AF was the first step!
I am currently on Day 4 of Clomid and I am finding it really hard to manage. I feel like I'm getting an horrific flu, achy, throbbing headache, I'm exhausted and Feel like I have a fever for most of the day. I'm taking it at night (I heard that's better) and I am still finding it bad. Is this normal? I can't remember feeling like this last time I took it, but it was 3 1/2 years ago. Sorry, to rant, I just fell so aweful! As long as it works, hey?
Good luck to all, hope this is your month.

So excited, Sorry I didn't post sooner, had to tell the parentals and then the in-laws which are all exstatic.
My level are all very very good at 12DPO my HCG is 69 and Progesteron is 89.
They want me to have an ultrasound in 2 weeks (the week we get back from bali) to see how many heart beats we have as they think we might have twins.
Yay
So excited. Thanks so so so much for your support ladies. Couldn't of done it without you
Nic, I know how you feel about your sister cause my older sister told me the same thing 4 1/2 months ago. It does get better hunny. I will PM you my acupuncturists details.

BEE!!! Congratulations!! You are the first with a BFP since I joined the forum, and it's so exciting to see someone have success!!! Wonderful, wonderful!! (I can't remember, and I don't want to look that far back, but how long have you been trying? Which cycle of clomid was this for you?)
Bec - I never noticed that my periods were that bad with the meds, but I was only without one for about 3 months before I started taking Provera to induce it...as far as the clomid goes, I never felt sick on it, but I did have the terrible hot flashes. I would get them a little during the day, but horribly at night! I would wake up completely drenched in sweat...and kick all the covers off! Usually I am a pretty cold person who likes to snuggle under the blankets, but definitely not while on clomid. I did notice that the hot flashes stayed with me for a time afterward too....I started clomid on cd3 and took it until cd7, and I would say I was still having hot flashes at cd15.
As far as I go...my temp was down again today at 97.7. Again though I took it about and hour and a half to two hours earlier (my schedule has changed, and I will be taking it earlier). To answer your question Kell, before my temp spiked above 98.0 after ovulation my temps jumped around quite a bit:
CD1 97.7
CD2 97.7
CD3 97.5
CD4 97.1
CD5 97.9
CD6 97.5
CD7 97.7
CD8 98.0
CD9 97.7
CD10 96.8
CD11 97.7
CD12 97.5
CD13 97.5
CD14 97.8
CD15 97.9
CD16 97.2
CD17 (O) 97.7
CD18 1DPO 97.9
CD19 2DPO 98.6
CD20 3DPO 98.1
CD21 4DPO 98.5
CD22 5DPO 97.9
CD23 6DPO no temp
CD24 7DPO 97.7
CD25 8DPO 97.7
It's so erratic that it's really hard for me to tell anything...I have been having some lower back pain and my breasts (especially nipples) are still really sore...I guess this could be a sign of AF or maybe not. With my temps the way they are I'm trying not to get my hopes up!

Thanks Stej, This is my 3rd cycle of clomid and I secretly increased the dosage myself from 50mg to 75mg (1 and a half tabs).
Don't give up on it. this is also my first cycle using alternative therapies (acupuncture) and I swear by it. I have also been taking metformin for my PCOS and had a break from trying since November so I could lose 14 kgs.
I think a little bit of each all helped
Goodluck everyone on your journey and remember positive thinking, don't give up

Hey Bee
I have to thank you for recommending Shane we was fantastic, HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him. I have also been using my Maybe Baby and the first day was just the non firtile phase (bare in mind i just started my second round of clomid and have two days to go) yesterday i got a small amount of ferns and the black dotts and today there was alot more ferns today . I have done the test at the same time east day. So i dont know if i am doing it wrong or this is right??? Is it to early to be getting the ferns still being on the clomid and all. aaaahhhhh so confused
If anyone has any reply please post cause i am abit confused
Registered User
I wish I could be of help, but I don't know anything about Maybe Baby or the ferns...
So far so good with me. I am obviously thinking a lot about this process, but I can honestly say that I am putting much less pressure on myself this time around. I am not obsessing over it quite as much, so maybe that will help.
Today was my last day of 150mg Clomid (cd3-7). I was amazed that I haven't had any side effects at all. At 100mg I had terrible hot flashes and was an emotional wreck, but so far...nothing! Not that I am complaining! I am wondering if maybe the Estrace I am on balances that out somehow...not sure!
Anyway, I have my U/S on Friday to check for follies...then the bding begins!!
How is everyone else doing??
Hey
Thanks Stejen but i figured out what was happeneing wth the maybe baby
I too have just finished my second round of clomid 100mg so fingers crossed hey i will be going for a blood test in about a week to check my levels
I havent had any side effects as yet either i didnt on my first round either
Good luck all

Where is everyone!? Updates please!!
(Nothing new and exciting with me...just waiting for "O" at the moment!)

Hey Stejen
So how is everything going with you at the moment, what day are you on now, should "O" be happening soon? Well I hope that this round is the lucky one for you guys, how did the clomid affect you this time around? As for me, im plodding along still, although im sure it will be waddling along very soon as I seem to be getting big quite quickly now. Im now 19 weeks & 2 days pregnant & coming up for my next ultrasound which im really looking forward to, that's next Tuesday, but i've also started to feel the baby moving over the last 2 weeks which is really quite surreal! Anyway I hope you are well & keep me updated as to how you go at "O"?
