What you do is use your middle finger (as its the longest), insert it in and you feel for your cervix, when you are infertile your cervix will be low and closed in your vagina and feel like the tip of your nose.

When your are fertile, you cervix will rise and feel soft kindda like your bottom lip, also you will begin to feel wet, as your cervicl mucus increases. This is just a brief explanation, but if you google cervic position loads of info comes up.

Also sometimes during your fertile phase you may not feel your cervix at all, because it has become so soft that it blends in with the vagina wall. I find this method a lot easier to get my head round than doing my tempreture

Its good to start checking your cervic position as soon as AF finishes at the same time every day (i do it just before going in the bath at night. And dont foreget to monitor it.

Good luck

hi dungun girl thanks for hugs

i am ok just waiting on af coming so i can get started again !!!!

how are you????

Just telephoned Doctors for blood result and apparently it is at 1.0 NOT GOOD. Does anyone think this could be becaus eit was actually day 20 and my cycles even on clomid are around 33days? HELP feeling really low

Just to say I took Clomid for about 5 months last year and recently found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant so it worked for me. I didn't appear to be ovulating at all so it clearly worked. I'm ancient though, and had a mc a few years ago so I'm certainly not counting this chicken til it's hatched but I'm happy for the hope of it happening.

I'm very pleased for you. I've heard other stories of people that came off clomid and then conceived. I had a mc waiting to start clomid.

TO ALL

Hi guys,just gonna change the subject a little... your all thinking LOL!!!!!!

Well Monday AF started , and its my 1st since taking clomid. I have noticed that AF appears very dark in colour, and think and clumpy (to much info... sorry)

It is also a light flow and begining to stop already (its only wednesday), basicly AF is kindda like how it goes at the end of the cycle.

Has anyone noticed changes like this whilst on clomid

primrose i did notice a change as well!!!

i would normally bleed heavy 7 days straight on 8th and 9th day it would slow down and on day 10 be away!!

i only had a period for 4 days could not believe it it was away!!

i wish it was here now though as its driving me mad i just want to start my second month of clomid !!!!!

Hi sam thought I'd find you here!

Is there no possibility that you could have or still will ovulate since your blood test/scan? Maybe why your AF is delayed again?

Thankx for that info sambrads, AF finished today lasting only 3 days, Lets hope this time clomid works for us both

Hope all you ladies are well.

It's FRIDAY!!! Thank goodness.

I think the idea of a clomid baby picnic is wonderful! Hahaha...lets just picture that day in our minds....maybe it will help !!!

Well....have my appointment at fertility clinic....4th of Feb.

I was SHOCKED how soon they gave me an appointment! Thumbs up for my local hospital. I was expecting to have to wait 2 months at least! So I am really pleased!

I had another blood test today....day 24, as I have a average 32 day cycle. Hope this one will provide the last bit of information that the clinic will need on the 4th!

Out of interest, what did the clinic do with you on you first appointment with a fertility doctor?

Pinkali....

I think you will have to repeat that blood test.

My bloods were taken on day 21 and I got a result of 9.4
(which is low too! )

However my cycles are 32 days and I have had to do the blood test again today - day 25 of your cycle.

So if you have a 33 day cycle, you should have a 26 day blood test not 21.

I have had this now confirmed by 2 GPs. So go back to your doc and ask for the blood test to be done later! I think that result is VERY misleading.

Good Luck!!!

hi ya dungungirl i got my bloods done on the 21 day of cycle and it looks like my cycle could be up to 40 days!!!!!!

this would not be right????

could there be a chance that i am pregnant then as results might be wrong!!!!!!

oh now im confused!!!!!

Hi sambrads

I doubt your blood test results would be wrong, but still you never no, is your AF normally this late? If not then I would defo do a preg test. If its negative i would visit my GP, just incase it is to do with clomid(not to worry you). GOOD LUCK

oh help i done two tests clear bue both said pregnant straight away what does this mean oh help me i can hardly breath!!!!!!!

how can i be preg if i have not ovulated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my god having a nervous brea down !!!!!

Sambrads! You ARE pregnant, the docs aren't always right!

Congratulations! So glad it worked for you.

((((hugs))))

thank you so much lomond i am still in shock!!!!!!

SAMBRADS
((((((((HUGS))))))))))
CONGRATULATIONS..PLEASE TELL ME YOUR SECRET

hi ya primrose i dont have a secret all i can say is have sex every day around the week you are ovulating!!!!!!

i had sex every day for nearly 2 weeks so i definately got my time !!!!!

maybe day 1-5 is good to take clomid!!!!

SAMBRADS

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!! HOw amazing... I am sooo happy for you. Give a resume of how it's happened, i.e. how long ttc, how many month on clomid etc..

p.s. did you have any other signs?

Give us hope..xxx

Duncangirl, thank you for your advice. The locum doc didn't sound convinced that it would change from day 20 to 25. Mine was 1.0 which is really low xx

Hi there there are all diff storys for me i did 6 cycles with no luck now i just had a d and c and started another 6 cycle fingers crossed

Hello Hails81,

What's your story? Sorry just nosey.

x

I've just booked an appointment to have accupunture tonight, has anyone else tried alternative medicine? I've heard it is meant to be very good.. not liking the thought of needles though. xx

hi ya pink !!!

i have been ttc for 8 months!!!

because of an underactive thyroid i ahd no af and it mucked everythingup!!!!

i took clomid on 23 december days 1-5 of cycle and got bloods done on day 20 of cycle!!

obviously this was too early!!!!

i had sex from day 6 of cycle til day 23 missing a few days only maybe two!!!

its hard to make yourself have loads of sex as your only doing it for 1 reason but stick at it!!!!

WHat did your bloods come back with as day 20? Mine was 1.0.. YUK.

she said mine was very low that the clomid did not make any difference but i had not ovulated by day 20 so it did not give a true reading!!!

pinkali howlong is your cycles????
