Ray i am sorry to hear you sad news. keep your chin up hun, easy to say, harder to do i know. i understand the whole how much more can i out myself through thing, but you need to make that choice for yourself.

HI pinki,
so far so good with the tabs, only as you say the hot flushes. but i get them with af anyway so dont know if its really the tablets. Got to have a scan on the 28th nov and the a 21 day blood test later on. im assured this is only for the first month.

hope everyone else is well.
lots of baby dust

Hi sarashy

I didnt bother the first month on clomid and "just went with the flow", wish i hadnt now cos i did ov and i missed the days, what a waste of the working ovary and egg..

Am now on third cycle and last month used opks and again this month, i just feel that i am then giving it the best chance possible. I know there are some who say not to bother but its just my opinion.

I am using the clearblue ones as they say they are ok with clomid on the box.

Also following the sperm meets egg plan which says you can use opks with clomid.

Hope that helps

sarashy · 21/11/2008 19:07

cheers pinkie, just read the plan and if i have the energy i will be definatly giving it ago, im sure much to the delight of my husband.
fingers crossed. legs not.

clairebear88 · 24/11/2008 11:25

Nandos - Any news with you - Im on tenderhooks.....

Georgie2900 · 26/11/2008 10:24

Hello....

I found this sight whilst looking up details of clomid, this is my 2nd month on it and today is day 16 in my cycle, when is the best time to try???? i feel really down especially when people around me are falling quickly without the clomid... i dont have to have anymore blood tests as my previous one showed i had ovulated so im supposed to just go with the flow apparently....
Can anyone give me some happy advice???

sarashy · 26/11/2008 10:41

hey georgie, we all know how you feel. how long is your cycle, reasons for going on clomid ect... n im sure one of us will be able to answer your questions. have you been doing opk's

pinkie08 · 26/11/2008 13:45

Hi Georgie,

They say that ovulation occurs anywhere from 5-9 days after your last tablet. Which cd days do you take your tablets?

Are you using any ov prediction methods?

I agree that we are supposed to go with the flow but sometimes need abit of guiding in right direction.

If you look further back you will see the sperm meets egg plan, which quite afew of us are following

Have you been writing down when you been bding?

Georgie2900 · 27/11/2008 14:08

Hey...
I take my clomid tablets day 2-6 and i have bought a clearblue ovulation kit, but no smiley face....

I would just like to no what to do for the best cause surely a negative mind wont help!!!!

pinkie08 · 27/11/2008 14:09

Ok lets start with this

what cd is it today?

Georgie2900 · 27/11/2008 14:11

Day 17....

Georgie2900 · 27/11/2008 14:13

Im not good understanding these abbreviations lol... what does opk's mean??

pinkie08 · 27/11/2008 14:16

on the sperm meets egg plan it is said to keep testing for 10 days, you may need to start a new pack, but its worth it. ]

also you should be having a blood test this first cycle on day 21 so that will show when you oved.

When did you start testing and when did you start bding,

pinkie08 · 27/11/2008 14:18

OPK is ovualtion predicor kits

Georgie2900 · 27/11/2008 14:19

I had my first blood test on day 21 last month which showed i ovulated so they said i didnt need to have anymore blood tests... i started testing on day 11 and my period was on hte 11th Novemeber took clomid on the 12th just 50mg.....

pinkie08 · 27/11/2008 14:22

Ok so dont worry you will have oved.

Sorry i got confused thought this was your first month on clomid.

i am also on 50mgs, dont worry if you oved on it last month you will this month too.

Have you been bding anyway,

Georgie2900 · 27/11/2008 14:25

does bding mean bleeding?
