Hi, I will hold your hand , I am on CD29 today, I am on my second cycle of clomid (100mg)and planning to test on Sunday, not feeling very positive though, don't have any symptoms other than the ones I am imagining [sceptical]

Heron23 · 17/04/2008 13:37

hi little, thats great, we'll hold hand together

i will be starting on clomid next month if it does not work this month.

are you ttc dc1?

Yes, I had an MC in March 2006, and no joy since apparently I stopped ovulating

Heron23 · 17/04/2008 15:31

i am so sorry to hear that

fingers crossed clomid does the job!

i am using clearblue fertility monitor to work out my ovulation day. how about u? are you using anything?

I use the clearblue digital, how does the CB fertility work??? May try that next month if we have no joy.

Heron23 · 17/04/2008 16:41

it works my detecting the rise of estrogen and then a rise in LH. so, you get a couple of days of high followed by the peak day. so all in all, you have about 5 days where you are fertile. and so cue for BDing!

www.clearblue.info/uk/FertilityMonitor.cfm

this site explains it so much better!

hopefully we both dont have to be ovulation testing anymore next month

does the fertility monitor work if you have poly cystic ovaries?

bonkerz · 17/04/2008 17:50

Heron23 · 17/04/2008 18:18

I'm due next Thursday too...second cycle ttc.No symptons whatsoever yet...could do with some support to not test early as last month drove me bonkers....got a positive then negatives then period came. Promising myself to wait at least until due date this time but I doubt I will be able to.

flowerfairy · 17/04/2008 20:22

Can i join in? Am ttc#2. Have no idea what day of cycle but know af is due in next 7 days. HAve been feeling nauseous, funny taste in mouth, coffee smelt foul this afternoon. But am not holding breath as last 3 months I have had pms that has mirrored these early pg signs. Though did bd around ish ov day. You never know. fingers crossed for all.

beckmo · 17/04/2008 20:40

My PMT symptons are the same as my (last) pregnancy symptons too...which is really annoying. Went through about 10 tests last month.

ChocolateEclair · 17/04/2008 20:50

I will join you ladies . I am on CD26 of 31 so due on next wednesday. I WILL NOT TEST!!! I keep repeating that over and over. So far very restrained I think!

I don't think I have any symptoms at all so not feeling hopeful.

This is cycle 3 ttc #1. (tested early last month with tears so refusing to fall into trap this month!)....or so she says!

flowerfairy · 17/04/2008 21:21

As much as i can't stand the waiting, i hate the disappointment of the -ve even more so refuse to buy any tests untila t least 7days after af should have arrived. Then maybe will put this saved money to a nice treat for me, to help me destress.

Heron23 · 18/04/2008 11:56

hi beck, flower and choc! welcome!

i too have managed not to test so far
wasted so many test kits last month and nearly drove myself batty in the process.

i keep saying that i will wait until AF does not appear on thurs and then even on fri.

good luck to all!

cathers · 18/04/2008 12:10

Heron23 · 18/04/2008 17:42

hi cathers, welcome

good luck, are you going to wait until 3 days after your AF is due?

i want to do that - but not sure if i can hold out that long

did you use OPKs?

OP posts:
littlemissdaisy · 19/04/2008 12:59

here's hoping we get more BFPs

OP posts:
flowerfairy · 20/04/2008 13:53

I'm out. Af arrived this morning after being ill last night and 2 weeks of awful pms. At least i can start working out best time for next month. Good luck to others

YouCantTeuchThis · 20/04/2008 14:36

Hey Heron, how you doin'? I'll join since I am due Friday and you already have a BFP on this thread so I wanna piece of the action!!

I was using OPK's but I dumped them this month (well, I actually peed on every stick in the house at end of last cycle ) and I have no HPT's in, and no way of getting them before midweek at the earliest...
