Clomid: the story continues...

[StoneBaby]

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

Kurama don't feel stupid. The amount of tests I've done were I've held them up to the sun/under a lamp/used my torch to see a line when there wasn't one. It's unbelievable.

Thanks ladies! Still a bfn so on docs orders I've booked a hcg blood test for wed starting to worry tho as boobs are no longer sore...... This is a new one for me

Check these out for cruel evap lines. These are my test results for this morning (12dpo) top one at 6.30am middle at 9am and bottom at 11am.

This is the result of dye run, the dye settled in the place where the positive line is meant to be.

PURE EVIL!!!!!

Have you got a dodgy batch of the cheapies? Bastarding things.

I think I have Toavoid... I need to stop testing with them and do the 'wait for AF' thing. Yeah right. It's only 2 or 3 days i suppose..

anyone else testing or on 2ww?

First response are meant to be some of the best and aren't too expensive either if you can't wait!

Thanks ToAvoid, I'm a bit scared to get a FRER because they are the best and I know it will be negative and I cant face that yet. I'll try and hang on for a few days.

Annie I am in TWW - AF expected anytime really but I've been using progesterone cream this month so don't really know what to expect. I usually spot from 9DPO for about 3 days pre AF. Today is 10DPO and FF is saying Wednesday is my test day.

I don't usually use many HPTs as the spotting arrives before I get my hopes up too much but I have a few FRERs that I bought from eBay ready and waiting... I have used many internet cheapies but have finally run out, I also have a CB Digi double pack that is out of date as we have been TTC so bloomin long!!!

Just had my cd7 scan. Looks like I'm reacting nicely to the daily injections. I got a 6mm and 7mm follicles. So fx I get some containders (sp) this month.

I don't have any testat home but wait that I reach 25cd and I'll be stocking up!!!

Are you waiting until Wed ImpatientOne ? I have 7 internet cheapies left... saving them for tomorrow and Wednesday. My FF says Wed is test day too.

I left it too late this month to try Progestrone Cream but I was going to after Ginger recommended it. I don't think I need it though. I usually get TMI ALERT!!!... a little blob of yellow or greenish cervical mucus that looks like snot around days 9-11 which means high progesterone I read on google somewhere. My temp is still high so I'm not out yet... just wish SO much this would happen.....

Are you still on Clomid? This is my 5th month. How long have you been ttc? Is it 2 years? How long do those CD digital's last?! LOL! Sorry I can't remember your story.

Ohh I hope we get a BFP soon!!!

Looking good Stone. Fx for some biggies developing in there!

Annie after last month 24 days of treatment (1 injection every 2 days) any improvement is a good news. Fx for your POAS

It's been 3 years 1 month Annie so the CB Digi is well out of date!

I could've done clomid this month but I chose not to as I've had this horrible itchy side effect which really didn't encourage DTD The snag has been a 3 week hormonal migraine though as obviously I had become accustomed to the clomid & hcg :( my body really doesn't like me messing around with hormones.

Next consultant apt is fist week of Sep when I know he'll refer us for IVF if I finally consent add he's been trying to do it for 18 months.

Stone glad to hear it's looking good, let's hope you need those tests.

Here it comes.... the crushing realisation that this is not going to be the month... oh GOD. Temp drop and now a blank on the FRER I bought this morning.

Bought myself a massive bar of choc to cushion the blow ..

Plan B is the 50mg of Clomid I have ready take for August and then plan C is the IVF I'm booking in for September.

Plus it ain't over til the witch gets here tomorrow.

FX for you ImpatientOne, Stone and Kurama and anyone else out there who is in 2WW.

Kurama how you feeling?

hey annie well apart from worrying about the bloodtest tomoro, i dont really feel anything. not excitement or worry. if it wasnt for having symptoms of one kind or another i would think that the clomid hadnt worked this month..... i havnt even been bothered by the bfns.... its like i dont believe them. this week ive bought the bits i need to put together for how im going to tell dh when i get upduffed. i think part of me is sure i am if you know what i mean. after i booked the blood test ive started sleeping better than i have done in months. god knows whats going on lol

You sound really positive Kurama. No signs is a sign in itself .

Well I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and hope you get the result quickly and don't have to wait too long.

Getting a kit together sounds exciting! What are your plans for telling DH?

Ugh... I feel puke now and have a headache after that chocolate.

I'll be thinking of you too tomorrow Kurama any idea when you will find out?

Annie eugh those temp drops are so disappointing. My chart has been a bit all over the place which I'm not surprised about but it has been up for the last two days. I use DuoFertility so it's not me fudging the numbers!

I think I will test in the morning although am not chomping at the bit so might hold off and see how it goes and if the temps hold up. Tomorrow will be CD25 12DPO which will be a record if I make it there with no spotting.

When's your next scan Stone?

good luck to all those testing, fx!

annie first he will get a little note in his lunch at work that says guess what??? i have bought a cute girls babygrow and vest that says daddys little princess and a set of boys babygrows, one says mummys little rockstar and the other says a daddys chip of the old block. they will be wrapped up with a note saying you're going to be a daddy, but am i a boy or girl?? and the last will be two books for men on getting through pregnancy.... they will be sat on his pillow with a note saying we think you will need these! i will be waiting upstairs just waiting for books to arrive so i can wrap everything up lol.

impatient i generally have to wait 3-7 days for blood results....
how is everyone today???

Kurama, best of luck tomorrow.

And good luck to those testing or are in the 2WW.

Annie, sorry that AF got you. Enjoy the chocs :)

Well looks like I'm out too - temps still up but started spotting so AF won't be far behind. Looks like the prog cream has given me an extra 2 days or so of LP?

Thanks London.

Sorry ImpatientOne ... if temp is still up is there still a chance for you?

My temp is down again today so confirms AF will arrive tomorrow.
Temping is great. The 2-3 days advance notice that AF is coming makes the daily temping and recording in Fertility Friend SO worth it. Same for pinpointing OV day and due on date. It's bang on.

Oh Kurama I hope with all my heart that you can live out your surprise for your DH.

I don't think the clomid works for me at 50mg but will give it another go next month.

I've got another job interview on Friday for a brilliant job so should be preparing for that but have been analysing sticks and googling stuff like 'BFN at 13DPO can I still be pregnant?'. I am an intelligent, clear thinking woman and yet I'm obsessed with finding the answers on google/ MN. I really need to let this go....I've become irrational. I'm losing my identity here!!! It has totally consumed me. Sorry rant over!!

it happens to the best of us annie. Good luck for interview.

impatient sorry the witch got you, however I'm so pleased the prog cream is helping with lp!

thanks! so do I.... also got some cute baby booties to go to our parents with the 12week scan when it finally happens. they are cream coloured with little rocking horses on them
