Hi Nomio230. Sorry I'm a bit confused. So you had your HSG before or after your first round of Clomid?

Anyway don't give up, I ovulated 13 days after the las clomid (days 2-6). If the lines are getting darker probably is because you are getting there.Flowers

Heather24 · 14/01/2015 15:15

Thanks Nomio230

I keep reading that most people ovulate between 5-10 days after their last Clomid pill and I'm 12 days past now so just getting anxious.
Also on the tues 2 days prior to my planned hsg test I had an uss and the sonographer said I had a good amount of follicules on my left ovary which measured 1.0 that was on cd10 is that a good size? X

Nomio230 · 14/01/2015 15:03

Hi heather, I had a cp in June & bled (very lightly) for about a month after. After that finished, I had a normal cycle.

I think everyone is different when it comes to hormones, but the fact that the lines are getting darker each day seems hopeful. Don't give up!

Heather24 · 14/01/2015 14:25

Hi can anybody help me, I'm going crazy! I Started clomid this cycle day 2-6 I then went for my HSG test on cd12 and was told the pregnancy test was positive although I'd not had sex since before my period as was told not to prior to the hsg test. They did a blood test which showed my hcg level was 48 which confirmed a positive pregnancy. I then had them repeated 48 hrs later which confirmed what I though was my last period must have been a miscarriage as my hcg leve was now 24 :(
So I'm now on cd18 and still not had a smiley face on my opk but the line is getting slightly darker each day.
I'm going crazy incase I've missed it or that I'm not going to ovulate at all or whats going on
I'm still so confused from getting a positive hpt in the first place prior to my tubes being checked.

Any response or experiences would be great xx

Donttellmetorelax · 14/01/2015 10:07

Hi ladies, how's everybody doing?

Monkey Any news?

I've been a few days away so my 2ww has been quite relaxed, till now. I'll test next saturday, but I started with the symptoms. Yesterday I felt a new one! I had like sharp stabbing pain in my cervix, it lasted less than a minute, but obviously the first thing a did when I got home was too google it, and guess what? It may mean pregnancy, or not. Thanks again google.

Has anybody experienced anything like it?

Nomio230 · 13/01/2015 16:38

Hi bovyn I am now in the tww. I really hate this time of month. The days seem to go so s l o w l y!

Good luck to you all.

Bovnydazzler · 12/01/2015 12:33

mylittles thanks for starting the thread I was looking for clomid buddies!

I'm TTC#2, on clomid cycle 2. #1 was conceived naturally but my cycles have varied from 50-93 days since with no ovulation signs, was grateful to receive clomid. I'll have been trying a year next month. I ovulated 1st cycle. I'm just starting the 2ww and pretty tired from the DTD efforts! Used preseed this month as not a hint of EWCM, think I've been affected by clomid in that regard. I'll use EPO if not successful this month too. (Thanks Blueberry for the hint)

nomio we've chatted on another thread, have you embarked on tww too or are you still in DTD territory? I'm away with friends this weekend so hoping it will fly by (it won't!)

monkey sorry for the BFN, has AF come or have you tested again today?

thunder you definitely shouldn't be paying. I'm in NW England and TTC #2, it's not even been a year and I was referred to Gyno for clomid due to crazy cycles. I have been advised though if clomid doesn't work, NHs won't help me anymore as I already have a child.

Heather24 · 12/01/2015 11:55

Hi everyone,

I'm new on here, please may I join you?
I have been ttc #5 for 15 months and I'm currently on my 1st round of clomid 50mg which I take on cd 2-6. I have always caught on my 3rd month with my other pregnancies :(
I had an HSG booked last Thursday to check my tubes were clear and prior to doing the procedure they did a pregnancy test and it was BFP! I have no idea how or why as I had a period 12 days prior and we were told not to have sex following my period untill I had had the hsg test.
Sadly it appears that I caught on my last cycle and what I thought was my period was actually a miscarriage as my hcg levels have dropped. I am now on cd 16 and using opk sticks which appear to be getting darker each day, but not yet had a smiley face.
Would love to make some friends and share this stressful journey.
Anyone caught so soon after a misc or on 1st round of clomid?

Xx

Nomio230 · 11/01/2015 19:28

Hi ladies, I am so glad I have found this thread as I am on Clomid & am talking to my good friend Google far too often!

Squeaky, you were lucky. My Dr told me they are absolutely not allowed to prescribe Clomid unless your BMI is under 30. I had to diet to get mine, which held things up.

I am currently on round 3 of 50mg. I take it days 2-6.

The first month I ov'd right when my app said I should, but then came on on day 23, 4 days early. Last month I didn't ov until about day 17, but still got af at normal time (day 27). This month I am on day 14 & still waitng to ov.

I haven't been monitored at all. My Dr is sending me for a blood test on day 19 this month just to confirm ov. I have been using opk's, but she said the blood test is more reliable.

I have been using Pre seed this month just to try & give the tadpoles a boost!

Fingers crossed for you, mylittle

MissMonkey · 11/01/2015 09:58

Morning ladies,

Hope you are all well and having a lovely weekend. So I have just read that when on Clomid it can lengthen your cycles up to 7 days, so looks like I may have even longer to wait. I also read that it dries your CM so it's best to use something like preseed.

Do you use opks? mylittle. as I google far to much I also read that that Clomid can make you ovulate later than usual so you might not of yet but your scan showed you had a really good size follicle so you must of been close.

Mylittlesandme5 · 10/01/2015 10:44

Miss monkey sorry about your BFN! I totally agree, I hate the 'wasted time' in between everything else. Onwards and upwards to 100mg!! Lol.

Well I am CD 12. I have felt full and bloated, but no real ovulation pain that I can say I have def ovulated. Maybe it is still to come. Who knows!? I just wish I could focus on something else rather than ttc 24-7 and worrying that I've missed it etc.

I am determined to switch off and enjoy the two week wait this cycle, the fact that I won't be able to do anything to effect the outcome will be a bit of a break.

MissMonkey · 10/01/2015 09:29

Morning ladies,

I tested negative this morning so fingers x for 2nd month. I just hate the waiting between knowing your not pregnant and af coming.... Hurry up so I can start again next cycle.

That's fantastic news mylittle! Go get busy and lots of raised legs.

Hope you have a lovely break donttellmetorelax

Mylittlesandme5 · 08/01/2015 13:56

Happy holidays donttell, I hope you get some well needed R&R !

Mylittlesandme5 19mm! That's great news! Go and get busy!

I'll be a few days away on holidays. I hope to read more good news when I'm back!

Mylittlesandme5 · 08/01/2015 09:22

It's true thunder, you shouldn't have to battle for help when you have to battle to get pregnant!! I hope you get some answers soon.

Squeaky, my consultant advises days 1-5. I got pregnant with my son and daughter on 2-6. I like to take it as early as possible.

GREAT NEWS ladies, I am so excited. I had a dominant follicle on each side, one at 19 and the other 13. The consultant reckons I should ovulate in the next couple of days. Lots of prayers are being said!

Have a great day xx

MissMonkey · 08/01/2015 07:04

Morning ladies,

Still no af so I hope your all right.

squeaky iv read a lot either take cd2-6 or cd3-7, I hope you don't have to battle though and they give you another supply, fingers crossed for you.

thunder my GP told me I would have to pay for everything as my oh already has a son but at my hospital appointments they haven't mentioned me paying for any of the Clomid so it probably does depend on your catchment area.

Hope your scan went well mylittle

Have a good day ladies

Squeakyheart · 07/01/2015 21:40

Posted too soon. I still have the third cycle they prescribed in a drawer so if they say no on Monday will probably use these but can't remember what days I was to take it on does 2-7 sound right?

Squeakyheart · 07/01/2015 21:38

Hi. I caught on with DD on second cycle after huge battle with Dr due to BMI of 32

Miss monkey, I had bad af pains for the first six weeks so keeping fingers crossed for you!

Am due to see a new consultant on Monday so keeping fingers crossed as BMI still 32

I can't believe that! I am in Northern Ireland, under the Belfast trust. We get free prescriptions here, I wonder if that is why??

Mylittlesandme5 · 07/01/2015 17:44

Hi girls!

Yay for Clomid buddies, it's nice to talk to others who are as obsessed as I am!

Missmonkey definitely take hope, I have read that if you ovulate on clomid you have an 80% chance if becoming pregnant within 6 months...the odds are in your favour! Fingers crossed for your 2ww. Let us know!!

Donttell on my clomid note my consultant gave me if says that if your period doesn't come before day 35 of your cycle then it's not a successful cycle. I suppose if you don't get AF before cd35 you won't have ovulated?

I am currently on cd 9....10 tomorrow and I am going for a scan to see if anything is happening down there....I hope so!!
