First clomid pill popped last night

Sorry been away 4 a while been busy wedding planning 12 days to go.
I went for a day 21 blood test yesterday just wait and see what that comes back as i am due on 6 days b4 wedding not sure when to test if af doesn't show

Thanks, I've actually just started getting EWCM and grumbly feelings on my left side so think I might be gearing up for ovulation Woohoo!

I checked on the CBFM website and it said clomid can cause a false early High reading and more High days than usual, so I think that's what's happened...

The more I read the more convinced I am that every-other-day swi is the way forward (although I might have changed my mind in a week's time when fatigue kicks in...)

Jebel how long til you can poas?

Hi pink - I am on my first month of clomid and I ov'd about 3 days earlier than usual (I have regular cycles usually) - confirmed by opk and ultrasound. The doc said it 'wasn't unusual' but she didn't say it was 'normal'.

Not too sure pink as I don't use a monitor but I have heard that if you ov too early clomid can delay it until day 14 - so in theory if you ov on day 18 usually - you might ov late - does that make any sense???

Ha! There's no such thing as TMI on here!

I'm in a bit of a tiz here - does anyone know whether Clomid makes you ovulate earlier or later than usual? I've been using my CBFM and every month it shows that I Ov around day18. This month (first Clomid month) it's being really weird. I had 2 really dark lines on day 9 and then they've gradually gotten lighter until today no lines at all (am on day 15). Not sure what's happening, but am wondering whether it's a faulty pack of sticks (am going to phone the careline tomorrow) or whether I've either Ov-ed ridiculously early or am going to Ov very late...will just continue with the swi for the time being I suppose.

okey dokey pink - keep us posted on your cervical mucus - haha only on MN could we say that!

With regards to EWCM I've been taking a capsule of Evening Primrose Oil every day as this is supposed to help. I have CM at the mo but not EW as yet, but no sign of the egg and don't expect it to be laid until Wednesday so wouldn't expect to see any just yet...will report back if it works or not.

hello twolittlemonkeys - it's a bloody pain all this TTC isn't it and even worse trying to get your head around stopping. Welcome to this thread

joy great minds think alike - I have just got back from a well known superstore where every little helps and I have bought 2 big things of cranberry juice and am drinking away. Thanks.

Yes it was 3 times a day - 2 teaspoons. (I must confess that towards the end I just swigged a big old gulp straight from the bottle)

Good luck! I'm in the same boat, started this course of Clomid on Tues. #3 for us too. DS1 was a Clomid baby, DS2 a miracle, and been ttc #3 on and off for over a year (MC last May). I have 6 cycles' worth of Clomid left (including this month) and after that if we have no joy I will accept that it's the end of the road with regards to ttc.

oh, perhaps should crack open the cranberry juice just in case it's a bit of cystitis. How strange though, poor you, hope you don't get it again

i will start the cough mixture on monday - was it 3 times a day??

I know the cough mixture is horrible but I kept thinking - eyes on the prize etc

just went for a wee and had a bit more shooting pain up the bits - I'm wondering if it's a bit of a urine infection or something. I'll drink lots of water to flush it out and see how it goes - i guess.

Do try the cough mixture if you can manage it - I think it made a difference to me - maybe....

it's horrible! May be it was a trapped nerve then. It won't have been anything more so don't panic!
Right i 'll try the cough mixture this month. It tasted so gross i only managed one sip of it last time but no pain no gain ig uess. Grapefruit juice never seems to work forme.

It is quite stressful not knowing WTF is going on with your insides isn't it??

I took the cough mixture and loads of grapefruit juice. I think I got enough EWCM but to be honest I'm not much good at telling the difference between sperm and CM

The pain defo wasn't me ovulating as my temps been up since Monday (temping this month to make the most of the clomid), but I was just getting up from drying my hair so must have caught something somewhere.

Bloody stressful all this !!!!

hippy, i kept getting odd pains down by ovaries and thought i was overstimulating! Perhaps your pain was you ovulating....?? or a trapped nerve. I must say i've been getting in a bit of a tizz over everything and over analysing and making me worry.
Did you have any ewcm or did you take the robitissun?

I just had a really weird pain - it shot right up my bits and on the right hand side of my tummy at the same time. Too high to be ovaries but didn't stop me thinking oh God ovarian cysts!!!!

I guess we just over analys everything when were on the drugs.

I know what you mean joy - from what i've read clomid seems to give with one hand and take away with the other

well i have 6 months worth but i'm really unconvinced by it as i ovulate already and it's made everything a bit different down there and AF is different as well. uum i'm not sure really about it.

Sorry joy . How many months of clomid do you have in total?

Good luck for next month.

I'm out - my two eggs I ovulated are now just AF. Round two of clomid will start tomorrow. Good luck all!

LOL

Romance..??!

Well I've had a temp rise so I've definitely ovulated. Nothing to do now but sit back and see what happens

I wonder what has happened with everyone else, especially Emma???

You are good to SWI every other day, it is hard to keep the romance alive isn't it. Good luck

Where has everyone gone?! Are they too busy frantically ovulating?

No news from me yet - I expect to Ov middle of next week so we have embarked on the sex-every-other-day malarkey...Not too bad so far, I'm determined to maintain the momentum this month and keep at it until well after the egg should have popped.

I hope you popped out a fair few Hippy

any news from anyone?

Yes lots of action took place this week-end in the Hippy household

I did read that clomid doesn't interfere with OPK's. I am pretty sure I'm ovulating today - lots of pains. Keep imagining there are loads of eggs popping out.

Good luck

Ooh exciting hippy hope you got lots of action in over the weekend then?!

I've just taken pill number 5 today so will now try to lure DH into the bedroom for the next couple of weeks...

I use a CMFM and I'm wondering whether the clomid will interfere with results - I got a High today, I'm only on day 9 and wouldn't expect one so soon, but I know that clomid increases Oestrogen levels so I suppose it's to be expected. Hopefully the LH surge/Peak will still give me a good idea of ovulation? Am planning to just swi lots anyway, so hopefully will have the bases covered...
