Ah sorry Littlemissmischief - there's me rubbing it in and you've got to wait another couple of days!

I had my blood test done last Monday, then I went away so didn't think to phone them until now.

I had a feeling that I'd ovulated though - I almost knew at the time.

Feel like AF is going to come soon though. Very slight cramps have started

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for Wednesday - let us know how it goes.

Dont be silly Lilew you didnt know
I hope AF stays away for you hun x

I Just rang gyane and they said someone should be manning the line so I left a message and hopefully someone will get back to me. x x

Lil congrats on ovulating! I know that must be super exciting! I'm crossing my fingers that this is your month!

littlemiss I'm so sorry that you aren't able to get your results today. How disappointing after waiting all weekend to find out you have to wait longer. I will also keep my fingers crossed for you that your results are good!

I just spoke with my doctor because she wanted me to call after AF came. I guess I am not doing the ultrasound monitoring because she didn't mention it. She just told me to make an appointment on Nov 3 for the blood test. She also gave me a list of four dates to TTC but I am thinking of going at it more dates than that!

Hi all. Feeling better today, took first tablet today and gunna try and relax this month. Booking myself a massage, having some retail therapy and a couple of weekends away this month. Need to have some fun, rather than have my head in my diary stressing over dates, times etc etc. (Please feel free to remind me of all this when i'm starting to stress later in the month ).
littlemismischief it must be very frustrating not getting your results. i'll keep my fingers crossed a lttle longer for you x
lilew well done, a step closer. Good luck hun.
A quick question ladies, my cd21 falls on a saturday; do i have bloods done on the friday cd20 or wait till Monday cd23?

Lots of love xxx

Thank you again ladies for all your words of support over the weekend, you've been fab

Popsy, seems like a brilliant plan hun and a great excuse for some pampering, am gonna doef use that one

With regards to your bloods, I was told to have it done after the 21st day NOT before and she said it was fine to be a couple of days after. HTH xxx

I also want to thank you all for your kind messages and support you've all helped me so much x x x

popsy - My CD21 falls on a Friday and I spoke to the doctor today and she wants me to come on the following Monday to do the bloods. That would be CD24. You are just a little ahead of me this month. I take my first tablet on Wednesday.

Hey girls

As expected, AF arrived today . I feel like poo and have just eaten a bar of chocolate to try and cheer myself up! I forced myself to go into the office today to try and take my mind off it otherwise I would have just sat at home blubbing all day!

Anyway, on the positive side, at least I actually ovulated this month! So, that means no going down the IVF route for the time being (which is what my cons said would be the next step if I didn't ovulate this cycle).

I've spent the morning planning a potential holiday to Australia next March so that has made me feel better! I should be working, but hey!

Anyway - onwards and upwards. And so it all starts again!..

Hello girls...does anyone take their BBT while taking clomid? IS it accurate? I am presently on day 19 - had major pressure and cramping on day 16 for 2 days...now I feel fine. I've been taking my BBT too, but it seems kinda wonky...does the cramping and pressure normally indicate ovulation? I don't think I will do BBT anymore...way too stressful. By the way, I am on my own...not being monitored by a doc - doc gave me rx for 3 months and a referral to a specialist if not pregnant after 3 mo.

Aww Lilew, I'm sorry that the wicked witch arrived. I hope you are feeling better now. You're right, it is great that you at least ovulated this month! What days are you taking Clomid, what is your dosage, and how long have you been taking it? I am about to start my first round. I am taking 50mg days 5-9 and tomorrow is day 5! I'm really anxious.

kimpin - I take my BBT each morning and have been doing it for the past two months. I didn't ovulate those months so I never got to see ovulation in my charts. I am about to begin my first month of Clomid so I really have no idea how my BBT will react to the Clomid. I did some research and it seems that the Clomid may make your temps rise the days you take the pills but you should still be able to detect ovulation by charting. Hopefully I will ovulate this month from the Clomid and hopefully I will be able to detect it from my BBT chart!

Hi there.
Been reading all your post for a few weeks now and thought it was about time I too tried talking to someone and stop feeling so alone. I have just taken my 3rd mth on clomid....... I am 41 with endo and I do have 3 children but sadly not with my new hubby(second marrage) we have been trying for over 2 years and hoping the clomid will work. I do ovulate so I think its my age and the ract I have endo.
I wish all of you lot and lots of luck

Hey everyone, just thought I would update you, I got my blood results today and.... I ovulated at 43!!!!
I was told anything above 30 is ovulating and the higher the better is that right? Im so chuffed!

Lilew - sorry your AF turned up hun, but well done for looking on the brightside, and that holiday sounds great, can I come lol x

Hey Kimpin - I have neve done the body temp thing so cant be any help sorry x

Sevans - Good luck with your first tablet tomorrow, i will keep my fingers crosssed that you have no side affects x

Debicemmy2 - Welcome . I'm wishing you lots of luck too, hope you get all the help here you need hun x

Hi littlemissmischeief

Good luck. Thanks for your luck......feel like I really need some these days.
Just waiting to see if my AF comes now well not waiting but you know what I mean eh.

Sevans - Good luck.

Yay Littlemissmischief!! I'm so happy to hear that you ovulated. That is wonderful news!

Welcome Debicemmy! It's great to have another person to talk to about our journies.

Lots of babydust

Congratulations on ovulating Littlemissmischief! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that AF doesn't come for you this month!

Welcome to the forum Debicemmy2! You're certainly not alone on here - I've found it a great help chatting to these girls.

Hey sevans! I'm taking Clomid days 2-6. I'm due to start my fourth cycle on them. My first 2 rounds were 50mg but I still wasn't ovulating so it's been increased to 100mg. I ovulated on that last cycle of 100mg so I'm just hoping that I ovulate again this cycle.

The strange thing is that I thought AF had started, but it's not started properly after all. I'm not sure what to do about taking the Clomid now. My cons said only start taking them from the second day of your proper period (where I've not been ovulating, AF comes in dribs and drabs - starts very light, then stops for a while, etc). The last time I ovulated AF came full on day 28. I'm now on day 30 and it's been on and off, VERY light (almost watery). Not sure what to make of it. Any ideas? Shall I start taking the Clomid?

Thanks so much ladies, you are all so lovely . I am so chuffed, isnt it weird how we all get so excited by something that most woman do normally lol.

Lilew - Im not really sure what you should do hun, but can you not ring to someone at the hospital or doctors to get some advice?

x x x

Hehe yeah it's funny! That's why I love chatting to you girls because you're the only ones that understand what it's really like! If I told anyone else I ovulated this cycle they'd think 'so what' and give me an odd look haha!

I think I'll leave it another day and see if AF starts again/gets any heavier. If it doesn't I'll call the cons to get some advice. I think my body is so shocked that it's actually ovulated that it doesn't know what to do now hahaha!

xxx

Hmm Lilew, I'm not sure what is going on with your AF. Could it possibly be an implantation bleed? I think it's good to hold off another day. Maybe you can take a pregnancy test before starting the Clomid just to be sure.

I took my first Clomid pill this morning. I was going to hold off until tonight but the doctor told me to take it in the morning. Plus, I wanted to give my body a 14 hour head start by taking it at 8AM rather than 10PM since I am taking it days 5-9! No side effects yet but it has only been one hour!

Hey sevans! I have no idea what's going on. It's completely stopped again now. Had really slight bleed (if you can call it that) first thing this morning, and then nothing again. I'm feeling so peed off now - I'm being proper grumpy this afternoon haha! I'm meant to be working, but I've got a stinking headache, am moody, and can't concentrate on anything!

I think you're right - I'll do a test before taking the Clomid just to be sure. I wasn't going to buy any, but there's a 2 for 1 offer on the first response tests in Superdrug!

Fingers crossed you don't get any side effects on the Clomid! xxx

Hey Sevans glad you havent got any side affects so far hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones

Lilew - I dont want to give you false hope or anything but I have heard you can bleed a little when pregnant at the time your period would be due, cant remember why tho? Also I just read on another thread that Superdrug own tests are one of the most sensitive tests out, more so that first response and the they are on offer too, fingers crossed hun x x

Hi Everyone. I am new to this and dont quite know where to start.

well i have PCOS also a love heart shaped womb. me and my hubby had all the blood work done to make sure we were compatable and all came back normal.

We have been TTC for 4 years now. we have had 4 M/C along the way, witch have been heart breaking.

The doc decided it was time to try clomid, he put me on provera 3tabs for 5 days. then clomid days 2-6. i am now on cd13 and nervous but excited at the same time. i have been having such a bad time on the tablets. The mood swings, sore boobs, headaches hot flushes and still getting thm. does anyone else still get the symptoms as far on as cd13??

i dont have a regular cycle atall. most of the time i will have AF for at the least 4months at a time sometimes 6 months. then the doc puts me on some tablet called tranixamicacid ( dont know how to spell it sorry) but i take AF away after a week or so.

I am due to go in to the docs on the 26th of this month (oct) to see if i ovulated!!

Baby dust to all

xXxXxXxXxXxXx

Thanks Littlemissmischief! Oh my, wouldn't that be great if I get a BFP after thinking that AF arrived! I think that's wishful thinking though TBH! Grrr I hate all this haha!

Well, I'll keep you posted! xxx

Hey Hyphen and welcome
Sorry to hear about your m/c's hun, i really hope the clomid does the trick for you hun, seems like you could do with some good luck. I am the same as you in regards of the periods, mine are very irregular and can last for ages and then be along time before I get another, my doc said its unlikely i was ovulating because of this and that if i was it would only be a couple of times a year because of the length between and so its much harder to catch than if you ovulate every month, so would imagine this is the same with you??
What doseage Clomid are you on, I m on my 1st cycle of 50mg and I had all those side affects and felt awful long after I stopped taking them so your not alone hun, I looked on the positive side though and thought if it is strong enough to give side affects it must be strong enough to work, and lo and behold I found out yesterday that I had indeed ovulated this month... hope you get the same result

Good luck and babydust

Welcome Hyphen! Oh you poor thing - you've really been through it haven't you? So sorry to hear about your m/c's. Let's hope the Clomid does the trick for you hun!

I had side effects right the way through my first cycle of 50mg Clomid. The cycles after that I didn't really have any, even when my dosage was increased to 100mg. I think everyone is different though.

xxxx

Welcome Hyphen! I'm glad that you found us! I am really sorry to hear about your m/cs and hope the Clomid works for you. Hopefully those side effects will go away soon! I just started my first cycle of Clomid today and it's only been 2.5 hours since I took it so I'm not sure if I will have any side effects. Nothing to report yet. I also have PCOS and have very irregular periods off of the pill. I hope you ovulate this month but I guess right now at CD13 you should be full swing doing the deed!

LiLew when do you think you will test? I'm crossing my fingers for a BFP for you!

Littlemiss since you know you ovulated, now you just have to wait to see if AF arrives, right? How many days is that? Hopefully she doesn't come because of a pregnancy!!
