This is me so far this month Confused

Clomid anyone else?

I haven't temper while taking clomid but definitely feel warmer in bed while taking it and I take them at night.

Figroller · 22/11/2016 14:28

temped

Footy1 · 22/11/2016 15:30

This is mine. Bit worried about the elevated spike! Usually always under 36.40 for first part of cycle ?? See what the temp does tomorrow!

Thanks Doom.. Maybe it is just the clomid making it jump around?

Clomid anyone else?

Had my scan today and 2 follicles have popped and womb lining was good. Blood test on Monday to check progesterone, so fingers firmly crossed!

She did say they won't go upto 200 mg so if I don't ovulate this time I will have to go back to see the doctor.

MmmMalbec · 22/11/2016 16:39

I've not been temping so can't help you there, but I have also read clomid does increase your temps so maybe really hard to tell?

Great news Fig. I'm a bit confused though, so the follicles can pop but you might not actually ovulate the eggs?

Figroller · 22/11/2016 17:02

Me too Malbec Confused Although I asked last time and she said they would have been empty follicles. Progesterone was 27 last time, think it needs to be over 30 to show ovulation.

Footy1 · 22/11/2016 18:27

I was told by my gynaecologist that anything over 15 can be ovulation. My level was 25 but he said that is fine, slightly on low side but confirmed ovulation. I got AF exactly 14 days after. I saw on another thread awhile back of someone who had levels of 12, and got her BFP. At 6weeks her levels were only 30 but all was fine. She's now 24 weeks and doing fine, no progesterone prescribed. So there's hope for us.

Footy1 · 22/11/2016 19:12

Fig did you have AF the month your prog level was 27? Not sure what the average is tho? I suppose the cream won't hurt if I buy some and rub it in on arms and legs.

Figroller · 22/11/2016 20:16

That's interesting to hear footy, yes I always have AF every month. I shall be interested to find out what my results come back as this time.

I would say the cream is worth a try. Can you buy it online or does it have to be prescribed?

Footy1 · 22/11/2016 20:53

Think u can buy it online. I'll have a look and let U know fig. ** I wasn't ovulating when I first come off pill. My levels were 0.1! Didn't have AF either for few months just occasional break through bleed which would last an hour. So am pleased when they said I'd ovulated and had AF.

MmmMalbec · 23/11/2016 06:28

This was the key I got when I didn't my private progesterone test. My progesterone was 28 and they said I'd ovulated but it was borderline. I was 6dpo and already spotting quite heavily. I showed my consultant the report and he said I would have caught it on the way up or down. Clearly it was down but obviously not good to be so low at 6dpo!

You can definitely buy progesterone cream online, I've looked several times. Especially at the serenity natural one because I've seen a lot of threads about that one!

MmmMalbec · 23/11/2016 06:29

The progesterone key...

Clomid anyone else?
doomkittycleo · 23/11/2016 07:38

I think mine were about 22 or 25 Confused was a few months ago now so can't quite remember.

I have 2 lines on opk this morning, the second line is a bit lighter than the first, so not quite a positive yet, but think I need to get BDing tonight.

Now, ... how do I seduce DP lol Wink

MmmMalbec · 23/11/2016 07:40

What cycle day are you today Doom? I'm cd6, just taken my last tablet today Grin

MmmMalbec · 23/11/2016 07:41

Oh I've just seen your chart above. So you're cd13 today?

doomkittycleo · 23/11/2016 07:48

Yeah CD13 🙂. It's very reassuring after having all those twinges on CD5+6.

That must've been the Clomid working it's magic.

MmmMalbec · 23/11/2016 07:55

Yeah sounds great! Time to get DTDing now. Will you aim for every day or every other day?

doomkittycleo · 23/11/2016 08:12

Will just see what I can get away with without DP getting too tired Wink.

He's so temperamental, some days he's happy to go a few days in a row, other days he's just like "oh leave me alone I'm tired".

MmmMalbec · 23/11/2016 08:23

Eeek that would drive me mental if I was going through all this hassle and DH wasn't ready to go when I needed him to be!!! But even if you only manage it a few times then there's still chance isn't there!

Footy1 · 23/11/2016 09:54

Cd7Star last day of clomid for this cycle.

Temp dropped a bit this morning which im quite relieved about, so thinking it was just the clomid causing ovulation symptoms.
Managed to dtd last few nights, nothing now until Thursday so hoping I won't ovulate today or tomorrow! Was early before but that was when I took on days 2-6, so hoping I get an extra day or so starting it later?!

Doom, my DH like that too, likes a rest in between and if he's not up for it then that's it! No chance. So stressful it is Malbec, as have so much to sync and work out each month!

Can't remember if anyone in the 2ww and up to testing day? X

doomkittycleo · 23/11/2016 23:06

Managed to BD this evening and have had lots of ovulation pains today. I did an opk when I got home from work and it had 2 lines clearer than this morning, but one was still ever so slightly lighter than the other. (I hate opk's).

Will be interesting to see what tomorrow's looks like...

MmmMalbec · 24/11/2016 16:11

I've decided not to do OPKs. Just going to do every other day until the scan and see what happens. Scan is Monday morning so not long at all!

What's your opk like today doom?

Do you think you've ovulated yet footy?

Footy1 · 24/11/2016 17:51

Cd8Star

Temp back up today 36.60 so I haven't got the foggiest! This is usually my temps after ovulation. Opks all have been positive all week, but guess they would be taking the clomid. Can't seem to rely on anything now!

Had no more cramps or tingly boobs which usually happens. Just got to sit and wait see if I get anymore ovulation pains and if temps come down again ?
