    Hi all...well yesterday my temp dropped, and I was really disappointed, but then this morning it went straight back up. I went to the bathroom to test, and low and behold there was AF!! Darn darn darn!

    I thought I was going to be really disappointed if she showed, but I'm actually pretty ok with it. This was my first cycle with Clomid so I have plenty of chances left!! I got more excited about the fact that I'm having AF without the Provera, so obviously I did in fact ovulate with the Clomid!! That is good news!!! So...now at least I know the Clomid is doing it's thing, and a new cycle begins!!

    What about everyone else?? Any updates out there??

    Hello everyone!
    I am currently on my 1st round of Clomid. I will be taking my 3rd pill tonight. So far the only side effect I have had is being tired all the time. Around 3 in the afternoon I feel like I cannot stay awake for nothing. I am really hoping that this drug helps us. After lots of tests my doctor told me that I do not ovulate. I have read the stories online of people that get lucky and get Preggo their first cycle. Realistically that isnt going to happen for me. So I am just along for the ride and trying not to get my hopes up.

    I am soooo happy to find this thread. Its great to find some people that are going through the same thing as me. Support is a great thing.

    Good Luck everyone and I will be checking everyday now that I know you guys are here

    Thing: Welcome to the thread! I'm just finishing my first cycle of Clomid, and I know exactly what you are going through. I definitely got my hopes up a little bit thinking it would happen for me the first cycle, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I thought AF arrived this morning, but I just went to change my tampon, and nothing....interesting....but I'm sure she's on her way....the good thing is that the clomid seemed to make me ovulate the first time around!! I started on 100mg days 3-7...what about you?

    Anyway, I have found that this thread is very helpful to get advice...vent...and share what you're feeling! Plus, all the more people to celebrate with you when you get your BFP!!

    I am taking 50mg on CD5-9. So today is CD7.
    I have been reading online that some people take Mucinex or Robbitussion (spelling is probably wrong) to help with the effects of dryness... Some people swear it helps. Any opinions on this? Has anyone tried it? I am to the point that I would try anything to increase my chances.

    Some background on my relationship.. My husband and I have been married for almost 5 years (June 5th) I am 22 almost 23 (June 3rd) and he is 23. He is in the military. We have been trying for a couple years but for all of our marriage we havent been using bc.

    Thing - I did the robitussin during this cycle with clomid, but it was my first cycle so I have nothing to compare it to as far as CM...I was never dry though so it must have helped.

    As for me...let the confusion continue. Get ready for a little TMI - This morning I got up to test and wanted to check for AF first. I wiped before I went to the bathroom, and noticed the toilet paper was brown and gooey. As per my earlier post, I thought it was AF so I put the test away, put a tampon in, and called the doctor to get my prescription called in for the next batch of Clomid...left a message.

    I got to work this morning and about three hours into the day I went to the restroom to change my tampon. I took it out and there was only a very little, little bit of brown (not red) on it. I didn't put a new tampon in and have only been using a pantyliner so far today, and nothing on it all day. There hasn't even been anything when I wipe after I use the restroom. I have never spotted before, but I have also not ovulated in who knows how long!

    My Dr's nurse called me back and said "So, you started your period." I said, "Well, I actually don't know". I explained to her what happened and asked if this is in fact CD1. She said the fact that it is brown tells her that it is old blood, and perhaps I haven't actually started yet. She told me to test tomorrow because it is very common to have spotting and still be pregnant. She said if it is negative to call back and we can decide where to go from there...I'm actually hoping AF shows up in full force before I can test because I don't really want to see that BFN!! Plus I want to accurately be able to detect CD1.

    So...waiting game still...my my my!
