Our old clomid thread is no longer allowing new comments, and it's taken me 24 hours and multiple failed comments to understand why - we filled it up So thought I'd start a new one...

@Dinosauraddict thanks for the info. How are you feeling now? I don’t know why I put myself through the heartache of comparing myself to others because now I feel down that I don’t have any of those symptoms! I suppose everyone is different tho and it’s not over for me until AF arrives. My nipples have changed in shape for sure, I’m hoping this is a good sign!

Jemstar33 · 14/07/2019 08:15

@doomkittycleo defo! How long are you cycles usually on clomid?

Dinosauraddict · 14/07/2019 08:23

@Jemstar33 I still feel pretty much the same, but a bit more nauseous, can smell things better than ever before, and I keep craving sausages (I was a vegetarian so this is the weirdest thing for me, and no, veggie sausages aren't cutting it)! You're definitely not out until AF turns up though, and we have a March babies thread where people are having v different experiences and some don't seems to be having (m)any symptoms at all!

@Jemstar33, the past 4 cycles have been 32 days, 27 days, 20 days and 25 days in that order. Clomid has really messed up my previously regular 32 day cycle.

I’m stopping it once af arrives and if nothing happens naturally within 2 cycles we’re going for ivf.

Jemstar33 · 14/07/2019 08:32

@Dinosauraddict wow, that’s crazy that you’re craving meat! Strange how the body works isn’t it. Glad you’re feeling good.
Praying for Thursday!

@doomkittycleo you never know, these next cycles could be the one!

CoffeeTables · 14/07/2019 08:37

Thanks for the welcome @ Jemstar33 :) I'm symptom spotting like mad. It's hard not to isn't it?

Congrats to all the bfp-ers!

doomkittycleo · 14/07/2019 08:49

@Jemstar33, god I hope so!

Jemstar33 · 14/07/2019 08:53

@CoffeeTables it sure is! When are you going to test?

CoffeeTables · 14/07/2019 09:42

@Jemstar33 I've got a blood test booked at my fertility clinic for Friday if my period hasn't arrived before then. I think if I test on a stick now it'll show positive because of the injections so I don't want to mess with my emotions (anymore than they already are!!). It's very hard not to test though, not sure I'll make it to Friday. Good luck for Thursday!!!

Jemstar33 · 14/07/2019 10:05

@CoffeeTables good luck for Friday. I hope we both can end the week on a high x

Jesskir89 · 14/07/2019 14:06

@Dinosauraddict thank you and @Jemstar33 I didn't get my usual period pains and had very sore boobs also doesn't sound nice so apologies but I had cervical fluid which isn't something I usually get. I tested on day 27 and had a positive :)

Jesskir89 · 14/07/2019 14:08

@Dinosauraddict maybe you're craving the protein? I will join that thread now Thanks:)

Jemstar33 · 14/07/2019 14:31

Thanks @jesskir89 my CM has been all over the place this cycle. Felt some cramps before they were similar to period pains 😣 I’m Day 27 today, my cycles are usually 31 days but I’m not sure what to expect after being on clomid this month. I’ll test on Thursday or before if my tests arrive sooner. I’ve ordered some first response ones.

Jesskir89 · 14/07/2019 14:56

@jemstar33 sorry what's CM? And they could be baby pains not af pains... if you're feeling unsure do a test tomorrow mine showed up early x

Jemstar33 · 14/07/2019 14:59

@jesskir33 it means cervical mucus...I think lol! I will do. Thank you x

Jesskir89 · 14/07/2019 21:21

Ohhh haha good luck and keep us updated x

lori2019 · 15/07/2019 14:20

How's everyone feeling? CD20 here, got 21day test tomorrow- don't think it will be accurate as didn't get OV pains til CD15 - they were so bad this month, made me feel so nauseous.

No idea how I'm going to wait another week. I want to wait until after AF is due, fed up wasting tests.

impatientmammy · 15/07/2019 14:43

Good luck to you all in the tww. I'm finding it hard to keep up here as I've got used to the yammer group. Glad you've ovulated @lori2019 did you manage to dtd at the right times?
Has anyone had scans to confirm folicals? Just curious if it matches the side with twinges etc? For example I've been getting a fair few right sided punches and twinges and curious if that s sign of a follicle developing on the right side. Does that make sense? Also emotions and symptoms from letrozole have levelled off thank god x

lori2019 · 15/07/2019 14:45

@impatientmammy 6 times in 8 days. Had to take a few days break after, neither of us even suggesting it 😂

I'm not having scans, not something they do on the first 3 cycles. I don't see my consultant til end of the 3rd in Sept.

squirrelnutkins1 · 15/07/2019 14:47

@impatientmammy yeah my twinges were on the left and mature follicle was on that side. Glad the side effects have eased! I'm dreading taking it next month. Here's hoping I won't have to 🙏🏻

Dinosauraddict · 15/07/2019 15:02

@impatientmammy I did have scans, but my twinges were often the opposite side to the follicle so not sure that's helpful!

gwen7896 · 15/07/2019 15:20

I've got 2 more tablets to take (this is my 1st round) but I already struggling with the side effects :(

impatientmammy · 15/07/2019 15:22

Thanks I was just curious to be honest it doesn't affect anything I just thought I'd learn a bit more while I'm feeling sain(ish) ha.
Sounds like you've done your best @lori2019 🤞
Hope not @squirrelnutkins1 I'm ready to start seeing some bfp's right now even if it's not my own 😂 need so positive news x

Jemstar33 · 15/07/2019 15:42

Afternoon everyone. I’m on CD28, 14 DPO. I’m not testing until my tests arrive which will hopefully be Wednesday. Although I have a feeling AF is on her way, I’m so angry at everyone and then upset for being a bitch which is usual for me this time of month.
