The Clomid Crew - Part 2

[goldengirl71]

"Come on, ovaries! Let's get this party started, yeah?!"

Do u think? I just think I'm not pregnant but am slightly curious but know I won't be that lucky to get a late bfp! I took a few days ago and it is stored on thermometer think it was 99. Something quite high and I'm a,ways so hot. Your not far behind me! X

Yeah, definitely! 99 is brilliant!!! I know everyone's different but I'd be over the moon with that! Get testing 1st thing, temp and pg test could be the best present you get this Christmas! Do you usually go to 16dpo? Last month I only got to 12dpo so 13/14 dpo is good for me. Good luck, Hopefully hear good news from you soon! X

Aug I got to cd28 but had mc so that was very strange as found out cd23. The next cycle was 44 days and my last cycle was 36 days. Tomorrow is cd 40 for me x

Bloody hell, Rosie, are you preggo???!!?

npg1 you poor thing, i can't imagine how horrible a mc would be, this month sounds good though, I hope you've tested? Worth a try but I understand you might not want to on Christmas day.

Well vivienne I was coming on to let you all know that I am indeed pregnant!!!! I can't believe it! I kept saying to dh that all I wanted for Xmas was a baby but never believed it would happen for a second! I did 2 cheap tests yesterday, I initially did it to confirm I wasn't pregnant so that I knew if i could drink today or not, i was expecting af because my temp was getting lower but this morning it was back up and did a digital clearblue test this morning and it said 'pregnant 2-3 weeks' so I believed it a bit more when it was in black and white. I didn't want to say anything until I was sure.

I hope you've all had a lovely day and we have some more good news to follow shortly

ROSIE!!!!!! Halelujah!! Oh, well done, my love, I am chuffed to bits for you xxx

Thank you!! Still in shock really but very excited, keeping our fingers crossed that it all goes well x

Wow Rosie. Well done!! Well as for me....here goes....just swallowed my first pill...eeek!

Thanks doobeedee good luck with the 'crazy' pills! Although as you can imagine I'm a fan of them!

Rosie congrats lovely am so so happy for u wow what an Xmas prezzi that is big hugs lovely woo hoo let me no what ya stats have been forgot now luv what was wrong in first place what dose of clod u on how many goes woo hoo am so happy for u babes x

Thanks Meluv, actually the best present ever! It's been a lovely time. My stats are 30, ttc no.1 for 14months, left polysysicic ovary, clomid round 2 at 100mg (although I think I ovulated at 50mg). It might be worth mentioning to you all that I've been having acupuncture too, obviously I'm unsure of how much of an effect it has had but I feel that it has been worth every penny. I followed a low gi diet and tried to eat as much foods that my acupuncturist recommended as possible, I used pre-seed and the cough medicine too, literally everything that I had read or been adviced to do I did, I hope it helps and you all follow me with lots of BFP's very soon xx

Well bit of a spanner in the works for me. Have already taken 2 pills then got positive preg test after a heavy period. Tested after a period as I always do as it's happened before and turned out to be a chemical pregnancy. I'm ok but just a bit annoyed that this is going to mess up my first Clomid cycle. Going to ring clinic later to see what they suggest.

R rosie big squeezes luv am so so happy for you take things easy an let us no how u get on in your pregnacy please .,,, doobeedee u defo need to give your clinic a ring Hun tell them everything so they can help & sort thus pout for u I actually had a period when I was pregnant with my lil boy the first month that was 9 yrs ago but still it happened to me my gp said it can happen not to worry good luck let us no what they say Hun xxx ... Am cd 6 & take my last table of 50mg for my second cycle tonight stats am 34 don't ovulate every month have one gorge son already age 9 been ttc again for 8yrs with no luck so clomid us my first step of help

Ladies who chart, please can you help me? I'm at 4DPO and this morning's temp has dropped below the coverline [wails]. Would you please put down your Times/DH/croissant/gin and take a look at my chart? Please? I'm refusing to leave the house to go to Tesco until someone reassures me I could still technically be preggo with these temps:

A dip at 4dpo is called a corpus luteum dip and is caused by a secondary oestrogen surge. It's completely normal so you're not out yet.

Thanks Meluv. This has happened to me before so I'm not too confident. Phoned them and they said stop the Clomid for this month and if still getting positives next week I can change my HyCoSy into a scan. Grr to wasting a month though! But I guess at least I ovulated on my own again!

Oh, thank you, Doobeedee. What are your feelings around this BFP? I feel terribly excited for you but you say you've been here before?

I'm not excited. It happened in May. I didn't even test until 11 days into what I thought was my next cycle and the positive tests lasted a whole week. I don't understand why the HCG stays in my body for so long though. Most people I've read about get a negative before their period even starts if it's a chemical but last time I had positive tests until 18 days past period which was 25dpo! Then they just went negative no more bleeding or anything. Thing is, I only know about it because I tested so I wonder how many more times it's happened when I haven't tested.

Doobeedee, what a rotten, frustrating nightmare. Are the powers that be going to look into this for you? What tests are out there for possibly recurrent chemicals? I'm sorry you're going through this

Well the Clomid was meant to improve my progesterone levels but obviously haven't had chance to try it properly yet! I'm going to ask him for some progesterone supplementation for after OV next time I see him. I'm also convinced my thyroid has something to do with it but they are reluctant to treat as it's within normal limits. I'm going to start demanding it though.

Good for you, Doobeedee, the least they can do is treat your prog levels after ov. I've had to do some 'demanding' myself, today. I need my 'day 21' blood test on Monday as Sunday (7DPO) the surgery is, obviously, shut. There are no nurses working on Monday so the receptionist was insisting I have them done next Wednesday, by which point I will be 10DPO. Not good enough. I asked to speak to the surgery manager and demanding that my actual doctor takes the blood on Monday (surely it is within his remit to draw blood?!) The manager um-ed and ah-ed until I sternly reminded her that it was her very surgery that referred me for fertility tests and Clomid and the least they could do is ensure my day 21 bloods are taken as close as possible to the correct day. She told me to ring back tomorrow after she has spoken to my doctor. Woe betide that wanker if he tries to fob me off...

Ha ha. You get them told! I feel your pain about the blood tests. I could never get the right day due to having a very short luteal phase but the doc kept insisting that I had it at the normal time based on average cycles. Then I decided to do what she said and had a day 21 test when I knew for a fact I didn't OV until day 22. I think it might have got me referred sooner though in the end as it looked like I hadn't OV'd at all! Also they only take blood at very limited times in the mornings which is not really helpful for most people who work!

Congratulations rosie! Thats so good.

I got af christmas eve :( just about to take my second tablet of second round of clomid x

Aaaaargh!!!!!!! A 44 year-old woman on the Over-40 thread who already has three kids has got her BFP! AAAAAAARGH!!!!! (Why do I feel so joyful for you, Rosie and like I could happily scratch that other woman's eyes out??)

Vivienne, its so hard. I went to see my friend before xmas who is due when I should have been due. I nearly couldnt see her cos I was so worried about seeing her bump!

Can anyone recommend vitamins for DH to take to help with his swimmers and is it worth it?
