Clomid: the story continues...

Come and join in for a rant or support.
We're all in the same boat and on clomid...

I agree, you should seek some medical help. Good luck.

Ginger thank you I'm fully recovered from the soft cup trauma. So much so that in used it again today :)

CD 13 so it's DTD time! I think I usually ovulate on CD14 so thankfully DH and I can rest soon!

Damn autocorrect! I meant to say that I've recovered from yesterday & I used a soft cup again today.

sharon and londons thanks for your concern but last time I said I was worried a cyst was close to rupturing (dont think this is if it is one) I was told just to try and rest up. but come in if it went. ive given up on my hosp its rhat useless. day off tomoro so ill stay curled up on sofa if I can

Does everyone continue testing after a positive ovulation test until the line's faint again? I just stop testing as soon as it's positive and now I'm worried I've been doing it wrong and may have been missing my most fertile time!

I do the same first

kurama how you feeling today?

Tested with a tesco own stick this morning and BFN. I knew that nothing was guaranteed but this was the first cycle that Clomid was working for me so I had my hopes up. My FC saw 1 good follicle and a 2nd medium follicle so I think I just raised my expectations of concieving hugely, but if course even good follicles, regular sex and ovulating doesn't always guarantee conception, as I am only just starting to realise dammit!!

Sorry london, I think we all secretly expect clomid to work on first cycle. I know you'll be gutted & it will take a while to pick yourself up but the positive thing to take away is that the clomid is working. So you are in a much better place to get your bfp. It may just take a bit longer.

What dose are you on?

ginger it still aches a bit today but its a lot better. which is good voz I needed to be able to twist a lot at work tgis morn. got rest of day off so were off to see obe oh dhs workmates whos got a new baby

Thanks Ginger. I'm on 100mg as I didnt respond to 50mg. I'll still at 100 mg for another cycle and then due to see my FC again when 3rd cycle is finished and if still not preg.

Hope you feel better soon kurama

how is everyone this morning?

Still no sign of AF!! Does anyone know is cycles are typically longer with Clomid? My FC suggested I was going to ov on day 13, but I wonder if I ov'd later and this is why AF is yet to show.

Maybe I still tested too early? Went out and had several large glasses of wine last night.....

In my experience cycles are typically shorter with clomid. What day are you on now?

I think it must be day 30 by now... no sign of anything, a bit of cramping but doesnt feel like period pains, feels like its more in my ovaries than uterus... all very strange!

after reading the thread think ive missed my day. I had pain on both sides near hip!!! the pain was so bad I took tramadol and took my swlf to bed with the view of going to hospital.... it was so bad I never thought it would ovulation. I did dtd the day before and the day after but now really gutted I might have missed my moment

ridgeway you dtd at the right times, before & after is fine.

londonblondie, fx, sounds promising....

feeling low hate this process wish it would just happen. thanks hunni fingers crossed x

I know how u feel ridgway u can't help but get your hopes up each month. Especially when things change to how they are "normally"

Sounds promising LondonBlondie have you tested again today?

My cycles got much shorter on Clomid (down to 28 days from 35-42 days) although it's different for everyone, depends on how long your cycles were before.

I got my hopes up so much this time and came crashing down. It's great to feel normal again after AF, took my last Clomid pill yesterday.

It's a great feeling to be calm and rational after AF but once the hormones kick in next week I'll be back to being a total nutjob - crying, wingeing, obsessing, googling, moping around, testing, testing again just incase, squinting at lines that aren't there. I can't do it anymore!!!!!

Got to totally chill this month and hand it over to nature - i am totally stressing myself out.

Be kind to yourselves everyone!! It's really hard all this business so we need to give ourselves a break xxx

after having the eptopic on the first lot of clomid I dont think I xould cope with BFN I only want a baby not much yo ask for is it x

Well I know exactly what you all mean by the symptoms spoting in the 2ww. For me there won't be any this month as there was no IUI and DH could not perform last night. So depressing 2ww for me.

So who's getting close to POA?

DH
lol dont know what they are lol im so silly x

poas - piss on a stick.
ww - week wait, as in 2 week wait.
