I'm on 2nd cycle of clomid (50mg CD2-6) and am on CD7 now - anyone else out there the same?!

Thank you fog, footy & accident.

Don't give up hope! I have always felt it will never happen again and I would never have a baby and family of my own. I am just praying everything goes okay with this pregnancy.

Fingers crossed for you all xx

MmmMalbec · 05/12/2016 12:42

Wow congratulations Fox, that's amazing news!

Any updates from anyone else? Sorry AF arrived for you Fig. Hope this is your lucky cycle!

My scan this morning showed that the follicle has ruptured now so I have blood tests on Friday and Monday to check my progesterone. If my progesterone is ok but I don't get pregnant then I'll have the next two cycles unmonitored. Which is a relief! Then if I'm not pregnant by mid Feb then I have a consultant appointment to review.

Footy1 · 05/12/2016 18:39

Hope your bloods come back ok malbec.
All these appointments must be driving u mad!

15dpoStar no AF, but had started spotting this morning. It's on it's way unfortunately...
Disappointed, but realistic. I ovulated way too early and sat on top on ovulation day! (Typically)
On a positive note.. At least f/w is just around the corner. Will start dtd as soon as AF on its way out to get the swimmers where I need them! Will be Sod's law next time I'll ovulate mega late!! Grrr

doomkittycleo · 05/12/2016 18:43

Sad think Af is coming soon, got cramps and sore boobs, and not any different from every month.

Figroller · 05/12/2016 21:04

Good news Malbec, no more scans this cycle yay! So they are sending you for 2 progesterone blood tests? I only had one which was 7 dpo.

Sorry to hear you think AF is on the way doom and footy. I was reading your earlier post doom and I had regular AF and all the signs of ovulation too so was shocked when I got my progesterone blood test results. I have never been told I have PCOS or been given an reason. Have you?

Picked up my prescription today, well almost! The pharmacist misread the prescription and only gave me 10 x 50 mg instead of 150 mg. Good job I checked! So I ended up just getting half and have to pick the rest up tomorrow. Take my first 150 mg tonight, bring on the hot sweats Confused...

doomkittycleo · 05/12/2016 21:19

No, Fig they have never said anything about pcos. I personally think it's the result of being on the pill since I was 15.

Drs would never admit it, but I'm pretty sure.

MmmMalbec · 06/12/2016 06:17

Sorry to hear there seems to be some imminent AF arrivals. I hope it's a misleading pregnancy symptom for you all.

Yeah, it's a bit annoying having to go for two blood tests but it's because I ovulated over the weekend so they can't do the blood test at 7dpo. They have to do Friday and Monday and look at an average. I'm glad for no more scans at least!

How annoying about your prescription Fig. Have you found the side effects worse on the higher doses?

You definitely need to just DTD as early and for as long as possible this month Footy. I hope you get a reasonably early OV again!

bummymummy77 · 06/12/2016 11:31

Congrats Fox!! Sorry to the rest of you. I know how sodding miserable you must feel. Fig, Flowers

Didn't know what caused my bleed but had intense pain the next day. Doc thinks it was an irritated cervix and just ovulation pain. Have to say I'm not hugely confident in her.

I'm getting so obsessed now. Had below baseline basal dips on dpo4 and today at dpo6. I've convinced myself that they were corpus luteum dip and implantation dip but it's more likely I don't have enough progesterone. Sad

Footy1 · 06/12/2016 13:12

Bummy what is your post ovulation range in temps?

16dpo Star
So everyone.. I'm still waiting for blood? Nothing has happened! Had a smidgen stain of pink cm yesterday (only once) but no flow of blood. Temp looks like it's on way down now so guessing the clomid has lengthened my L/ phase. Has this happened to anyone?

doomkittycleo · 06/12/2016 13:12

My temp has gone up today, but af cramps and sore boobs are still here.

MmmMalbec · 06/12/2016 13:39

That's interesting for you both. Any plans to test?! I'm really hoping the clomid extends my LP Footy, that's what I'm taking it for!

Have you taken the clomid then bummy? I know you weren't sure about this cycle?

doomkittycleo · 06/12/2016 13:46

No testing unless late.

MmmMalbec · 06/12/2016 14:26

What are you classing as late?

doomkittycleo · 06/12/2016 14:52

Day after af is due. It's not due till Friday, so if no af by Saturday I'll test.

doomkittycleo · 06/12/2016 14:52

Cramps are really bugging me today tho. Feels like cramp in my hip.

bummymummy77 · 06/12/2016 14:56

Post ov usually 98 and over and have dipped down to 97.0.

Not going to take the clomid until we return from the UK in January now. Going there is SO stressful and my Dad is undergoing chemo so it'll be more stressful than usual, I don't want to waste one of my 3 rounds.

bummymummy77 · 06/12/2016 14:56

I class 4 days before as late. Grin

MmmMalbec · 06/12/2016 15:05

Sorry I meant what are you expecting of your LP doom?

So you're not on clomid this month then bummy?

doomkittycleo · 06/12/2016 16:25

I'm 12dpo today, normally it's 12-14 days.

Footy1 · 06/12/2016 17:37

I was due AF on 2 days ago! But temps are coming down so if by miracle they go up tomorrow I may test. Still got the cramps so feel it just playing a horrible game.

doomkittycleo · 06/12/2016 22:12

I know I said i wouldn't test till af was late, but I caved. BFN 🙁.

Footy1 · 06/12/2016 22:27

I'm sorry doom Flowers I know it's tempting, after all we only want the winning ticket. Totally drains you seeing the bfn. Hope you are ok? X

I was getting tempted earlier but I can't ignore these cramps and temp drop. I'm 2 days late, but just know it must b the dreaded clomid delaying it.
Boobs are killing me first time out of the 5cycles!!

doomkittycleo · 06/12/2016 22:49

Thanks footy, I know what you mean. I thought I might still be in with a chance due to high temp this am, and mega sore boobs, but could just be the Clomid doing that 🙁.

Just want af to arrive so I can get on with the next cycle. Going up to 100mg this time so a bit worried that side effects could be worse.

MmmMalbec · 07/12/2016 06:19

Doom, sorry about the BFN. What test did you use? It might help if you used FMU instead?

I hope you're still in the game too Footy.

I really really hope clomid extends my LP too. I'm so worried that it won't and all this will have been a waste of time Sad

doomkittycleo · 07/12/2016 09:32

It was a 10mmol internet cheapie.

Not gonna test again, fairly certain Af is coming.
