That's a great idea for the cb digi, think that will really help dp believe it if it is positive. Will go get one today.

Only got 1 frer but loads of IC. So the opk thing, apparently the hormones opk & preg tests detect are very similar so a pos opk is a good indicator but not definitive. Think they work before preg tests too.

Oh my god I'm so excited for you Ginger.

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/06/2014 12:58

Thanks! So glad I have everyone on here, dp doesn't want to get his hopes up as he took the chemical quite badly. I'm not sure how to feel yet tbh. If it works we did a lot diff this month, including a hol so fx for you annie

However main thing is I've been using natural prog cream last 2 months, I doubled the dose this month. Also started clomid on day 3 not 2. I drank & smoked a lot on hol as had no hope this month. I got pos opk sun and dtd fri and sun and that was it. I really had given up!

Pee on the stick ginger, you're keeping me in suspense!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/06/2014 17:33

If I can wait at least 3 hrs between pees ill do it tonight. Just in & not convinced by the 2 from earlier, very very faint lines. Also got the last cb digi in the shop.

LondonSuperTrooper · 22/06/2014 20:07

Good luck Ginger. We need a BFP on this thread.

I'm currently 11dpo, I might test tomorrow as well.

StoneBaby · 22/06/2014 20:29

Ginger mine were very faint lines. If I still have the pic I will post it up

kerrylou84 · 22/06/2014 20:51

Look at this one, the faint line is boots own and the clear 2 lines are first response

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/06/2014 21:26

Ooo, thanks kerry, that is reassuring actually. Will poa frer tomorrow, thanks for all the positive vibes Smile

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/06/2014 21:28

Don't suppose you can remember how many dpo you were with those tests kerry

Triplespin · 22/06/2014 21:29

Ginger- congrats!! I can see a line for sure. Why don't you try with an frer tomorrow. It is very consistent and even with a small hcg you get a clear line.

I need some opinion. I had my cd12 scan and two follies but only 12/12.5mm so far and lining 5.3mm. My follies have grown only 2mm over two days and lining only 0.4mm. What do you think? Is this cycle a writeoff? Or just a case of late ovulation. What does it suggest about my response to clomid?

ImpatientOne · 22/06/2014 21:39

Ginger hope it's another super clear line in the morning and then we can all celebrate with you!

Triple I really don't know but my lining was only 5.6mm day 11 on my first month when I was on 50mg clomid, this month it was over 12mm but I was only on 25mg so either the clomid was affecting my lining negatively or raspberry leaf tea and pomegranate juice really do boost your lining Blush

I am 2 days post hcg injection and once again feeling sick as a dog! Been managing it better with my travel bands and eating all of the time but took the bands off this afternoon and now I feel horrible!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/06/2014 21:50

I've never been scanned triple so can't help however....my period was much healthier last month & less spotting using prog cream. It could help with the lining?

impatient get the bands back on!!!

kerrylou84 · 22/06/2014 22:05

I was due my period on day 28 but was 4 days late when I tested. When are you due?

ImpatientOne · 22/06/2014 22:10

Thanks Ginger I have! My parents were round this afternoon and this hot weather makes it tricky to disguise them!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/06/2014 22:19

AF was due today, 13dpo so I suppose it would've pretty faint.

Again, so brilliant having you lot to obsess with!

impatient ginger (funnily enough) meant to help with morning sickness, worth trying for your nausea? (Good excuse to eat Biscuit )

kerrylou84 · 22/06/2014 22:22

Are you testing first thing ginger? Il be checking in at 7am mind lol

Gingerbreadlady1 · 22/06/2014 22:36

Lol! It'll be around then kerry, scared there's nothing there.

StoneBaby · 23/06/2014 07:00

ImpatientOne · 23/06/2014 07:17

I'm checking in too - thanks for the alarm Stone

kerrylou84 · 23/06/2014 07:35

I dozed back off to sleep. Wake up ginger!

Triplespin · 23/06/2014 07:56

Yes ginger please update us.

Thanks impatient - what a diff result in lining between two cycles. Why have you gone down on the clomid dose to 25mg? Is the hcg injection meant to trigger ovulation. The nausea sounds awful - hope it doesn't last too long and that it's all worth it at the end of this cycle.

Gingerbreadlady1 · 23/06/2014 08:17

Ahhhh! It's not letting me post pics, but 2 lines on a frer!!!!!

Omg!!!!

Sorry to keep you waiting, couldn't sleep last night

Triplespin · 23/06/2014 08:18

Many congrats!! Fx for a boring next 9 months for you.
