Firsttimer9981 · 19/07/2014 08:07

Does anyone know if it's ok to pee in a cup and test it later? I've got no tests in but need my first pee of the day.

kurama · 19/07/2014 08:42

u could put it in fridge but leave ot out for 20 mins before testing. or if u dont drink alot and can hold for 4 hours should be just as good.

AnnieHoo · 21/07/2014 13:22

any signs of flow Kurama? Last month mine started with pink tinged cm, then spots of brown, then brown like the end of your period and i was still convinced that this was implantation spotting and hoping and hoping but the next day my temp dropped and AF arrived in red flow very heavy and watery.

I hope you're not still in limbo. x

ridgway28 · 21/07/2014 14:45

let us no what the dr says kaurama

kurama · 21/07/2014 16:22

still in limbo annie still sod all there, just a bit of red when wiping and some brown spotting on pad

ridgway28 · 21/07/2014 18:44

karama could u not go to the dr and demand a hgc blood test Smile

sharond101 · 21/07/2014 19:12

How about you ridgeway? How are you feeling? Have you poas?

kurama · 21/07/2014 19:15

Doc says it sounds positive but wait a week to see what happens. I've said if nothing happened by next week I want a blood test and she agreed. Never known a doc who has been more confident and positive about me conceiving, she's more upbeat about it that I am!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 21/07/2014 20:49

Good luck kurama!

ToAvoidConversation · 21/07/2014 21:33

Sorry general lurker needing advice from fellow clomid users. Does your clinic tell you not to test before a certain day in your cycle?

kurama · 22/07/2014 10:34

Thanks ginger.
Toavoid test in what way pregnancy or ovulation test? I don't use ov tests before cycle day 8 as otherwise I can get a false high due to meds but preg test can be used as normal as long as your not taking clomid at the same time

ToAvoidConversation · 22/07/2014 11:14

As in pregnancy test? Is there a certain day you are told not to test before in your cycle?

kurama · 22/07/2014 11:46

no they never told me there wasnt a certain day i couldnt test before with a preg test, but if you know roughly when you ovulate id wait till at least 12 days after that. ive found that generally on clomid your cycles regulate so i wouldnt test unless it was late. hope this helps x

ridgway28 · 22/07/2014 12:22

sharond101 not POAS yet. see if af arrives tomorrow. still on pain dr are uselesd. its not af pain its different.

toavoid I was told to test on af day or 4 days later. good luck

any good news on here does clomid actually work for anyone im starting to loose hope!! Sad

StoneBaby · 22/07/2014 16:36

Well af has just arrived so I'm back in the race! Only issue is that my chemist still has not received the gonal-f so May have to write off this month too

kurama and ridgway how are you?

ToAvoidConversation · 22/07/2014 17:55

Thanks for the advice. BFP on day 32 and happened to have a phone call from the clinic so told them and they said I shouldn't be testing until day 42 and it was FAR too early to test. Felt like a scolded child but I knew!

AnnieHoo · 22/07/2014 18:08

Omg toavoid! Congratulations!! You're pregnant! Grin

Sorry stone , it's so shit getting everything lined up each month for starting again : (

ToAvoidConversation · 22/07/2014 18:18

Thank-you. Cycle 3 for me of 50mg. Evidently I'm not allowed to think this until the clinic lets me though Hmm.
