Starting Clomid tomorrow!

Hi guys how are you all? No ovulation here either currently CD33 today!

@TheDaydreamBelievers apparently it is for us ☹️ x

Letrozole 2.5 mg didn't work 😔. Planning 5mg next cycle. If next cycle hasn't started by CD40 we will do a progesterone challenge to induce one.

@TopSecret99 @naevo this shit is hard. I just want one living baby. Is that so much to ask?!

@naevo I'm with you girl, really struggling this month ☹️ it's so hard to be positive when you get negative after negative every month and the hopes we had with chlomid are starting to dash ☹️
My period has only lasted 2 days both months- usually it's longer. I assumed was a side effect? But if you have the option to be scanned I would do that just to put your mind at ease.
I hope you start feeling better soon x

@TheDaydreamBelievers agree on the stronger dose, what dose are you on now?

@EMM01 glad you did; this journey is a bloody rollercoaster isn't it!

My period has come today, a day late 🙄 so onto cycle 3 of chlomid and 24 in total. Feeling deflated today ☹️

@TheDaydreamBelievers A stronger dose may be needed then, hopefully the next dose up will work for you! I'm sure we'll all find our balance soon and find what works!!

@naevo looks like AF has arrived, and I've never been so relieved to see it! Omg I was so stressed the other day, just felt like I was going to end up in the same old routine but thankfully it is on the way.... although a good bit late compared to last month.

Girls it will be all guns blazing now for the next round. I knew it wouldn't happen this round as my DP was away for work round the time I thought I would ovulate, and if I ovulated later, it was definitely missed as he wasn't home. I have been very busy with work and my partner has been unwell also so I knew I was out.... but just wanted to ovulate! I'm away to Leeds around this months ovulation time, but should still be ok. I'll be on a nice spa break the following weekend, so that would be perfect! Will be great to reduce the stress for the next ttw. I'll get some opk's as well and track temps. Determined for a 3rd time lucky!

I did a test the other day (a 4 days early one) and it was negative. So obviously I didn't ovulate this month and am late now until god knows when, back to the usual PCOS guessing game. I'm going to do another test and ring my doctor in the morning for some advice and to see if I can get more testing, as they've offered me no more tracking, and I've read your body can respond well and then get resistant to clomid, so that's probably happened me. Sorry for the rant but I'm so annoyed now, been trying for sooo long for us to just have 1 baby, and I finally thought I had found something that'll work, and now it hasn't and I'm left with no medical tracking... don't know if I should increase for next month or what

Bloods today (CD21) showed no ovulation. not surprised. They will repeat bloods on CD28 but that'll be a no too. It'll need a bigger dose I think.

@TheDaydreamBelievers & @topsecret99 we have covered bases and we will continue to do so just in case 😂

I've not used clearblue ones before usually just the strips, and I know in the past I have ovulated without a + opk but its just doing my head in and wished I never started them and just stuck with temps lol i do have elevated LH anyway because of PCOS.

I've felt less crampy today, but still felt some niggles. Did an opk when I got home which was defo not positive.....Girls it's stressing me out 😬 but I can update if my temp stays up and shows a shift to confirm ovulation, thankfully and hopefully is does!!

How are you all doing?

@user6669 yes I agree with @TheDaydreamBelievers sounds like it could be the right time now!
Have you tried the clearblue ones? I know more expensive but sounds like they are a lot easier to read? Obvs too late for this cycle but maybe for next?

@user6669 I think it sounds like today's the day. Have you covered your bases?

May stop using opks as their confusing me. I've had a few that have become positive after 20mins (still fresh but after the time frame of course) yesterday had real close opk and this morning a postive (as dark not darker) it wasn't FMU so not sure if that matters. I remember why I hated opks so much 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

My temp jumped back up today, so that's also baffled me I'm usually spot on figuring out my charts with so many years experience doing bbt.

I had a few days of ovary pain, especially on my left side. Yesterday I had some quick sharp left ovary tenderness and a fullness feeling down there too. Achy ovaries etc.

I still have no idea if I'm going to O or have Od already or what. Il update again when I figure out what's happening 🤦🏻‍♀️

@EMM01 oh my...! Good to try not to get your hopes up but hard at the same time! When are you going to do a test?

I think I'm 13dpo and did a test this morning as I can't be bothered with the stress of it this month and I have been feeling under the weather. It's a BFN tho which is but I wasn't expecting anything less!!

Keep us updated! X

Well girls, my ttw is over and I'm now 1 day late. I do not want to get my hopes up as I really don't think we were successful this month. I felt completely different to last month, hardly any symptoms but just have sore boobs a little bit and a little soreness in my head, that's all. I know i haven't been drinking enough these past few days so that would explain the headache. I'd say AF will arrive soon though

@user6669 I get you, thanks for explaining Ahh I'm still routing for you, you never know what's gonna happen x

Cd23 today an the first opk I've used today. So frustrating it's so dark but not yet positive - wish me luck for later pleaseee. Lol

[quote TheDaydreamBelievers]@user6669 I hear you! CD20 and all my OPKs are like your CD20 8pm one..I don't think it's gonna happen this round and does feel like a time waster. after 2 yrs TTC with huge long cycles I was hoping to see something on an OPK![/quote]
@thedaydreambelievers
It sucks doesn't it? Every time I see a near dark opk I'm thinking yup this is it!! - bloody things 🤦🏻‍♀️😬 just took one just now for today its still dark but not positive grr. I get you! Keep going (I have ovulated this late before if that gives you any hope) I'm passing my latest OV so feeling very sad it may not happen right now...

[quote TopSecret99]@user6669 Sorry to be stupid but I don't use those OPKs so I don't know what all the lines mean can you tell me which one you're waiting to change?
How have you got on this morning? X[/quote]
@topsecret99 not at all - 😊 the line closest to the blue handle is the control line and the test line needs to be as dark or darker than the control line for it to be positive (hope that makes sense) not had any positive as of yet, temp also dropped right back down this morning which I thought would happen. Fingers crossed I ovulate soon or its unlikely going to happen 😬 how are you doing?

@user6669 Sorry to be stupid but I don't use those OPKs so I don't know what all the lines mean can you tell me which one you're waiting to change?

Opks still not reached fully positive yet. Its rather frustrating now I'm CD22, I also had a temp rise this morning which I'm guessing is a failed o attempt or something - I've been crampy for a few days now sometimes quite niggly pains on my ovaries, a tiny amount of fertile cm too and SHOW cervix. Hoping it's coming soon and it's not a failed cycle 🙏 todays opk taken at 10am was pretty dark but im losing hope here 😬

[quote TopSecret99]@user6669 I'm almost there re the cold- still not 100% but defo getting there!

Oh I might try those then next month! Where did you get them from?

Left ovary twinges are a really good sign!! My mantra is "always listen to your body!!" Let us know when you get your positive later- rooting for you! X[/quote]
@topsecret99 wishing you better soon 🙂 I got the opks from ebay 25 for £11 odd I think from the top of my head. Just search easy at home ovulation tests 😬 thank you lovely I will update!! X
