@Beth804 nothing worse than having to wait when you just wana know what's going on!! Just call your hospital tomorrow and see if they will give them to you - probs won't though; if they don't, ask them to send over to your drs and then your drs will give them x x

Very crampy and uncomfortable today, really excited to see if the ovusense detects ovulation. Typical that my testing day will be over Christmas, either disappointing or very merry indeed

[carleygh]

@Beth804 @CharlotteCx see my bloods are different, the fertility clinic give me a form and I do it either at my doctors or the main hospital and I can call the clinic and they give me the results over the phone x

[CharlotteCx]

@carleygh every area is so different aren't they! ... my drs give me the blood form and I go to the local hosp have them done and they send the results to my drs x

@dragonfly1978 as the other girls said it does look very positive! Yay. Fingers crossed for success xxx

[CharlotteCx]

[dragonfly1978]

Thanks @JadeS174, how are you?

[JadeS174]

@CharlotteCx @dragonfly1978

I'm good thank you, had my solid smiley yesterday on CD20. Had really bad back pains yesterday and really crampy today so hopefully somethings working in there 🤞🏼 xxx

[CharlotteCx]

@JadeS174 wicked, how exciting xxx

[CharlotteCx]

Help a girl out - I know I've said about it already today BUT I can't stop thinking about it, when do you all think I should go for my bloods, cd20 today - ovulation on Friday so 5dpo tomorrow, normally I'd go on cd21/22 but that's when I ovulated on CD13 & 15. This month was CD16. I was going to go on Friday & have them but because my boobs are sooo sore I'm thinking tomorrow would be ok, as my boobs wouldn't be sore unless my progesterone was high, right? 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm doing my own head in.

[dragonfly1978]

@CharlotteCx I would leave it until Friday as they say 6-8 DPO

[CharlotteCx]

@dragonfly1978 you are right I'm just so impatient it wouldn't be so bad if my boobs didn't hurt. Why are they so sore!!

[Sylva123]

@CharlotteCx so I always had a nightmare getting my progesterone test on the right day cos of my luteal phase defect so in the end I used to get one at the hospital on 7dpo and then I did ones at home on different days (eg 5dpo or 8dpo). I used a website called "forth with life" (it's £39 I think) and I've seen some other people use Thriva. But this is just if you want to go totally down the mad woman route like me 😆😆😆. The one at the hospital is more than enough really. I did it because I needed to prove my luteal phase defect.

[CharlotteCx]

@Sylva123 I don't usually have trouble pin pointing the day I need to go as I just go 6 days after expected ov.

But I'm completely thrown this time because of the tender nipples, Iv never experienced it so early on In my cycle. So I'm thinking is it at its peak now and if I go Friday I'll miss it, driving myself insane lol 🙈

[Loziliz75]

Has anyone noticed since takin clomid they feel more tired than normal? I feel shattered all the time?! Xx

[Sylva123]

Yes @loziliz75 I have been so knackered and sleeping wayyyy longer at night.

@CharlotteCx I'd still wait for 6-8 dpo - it still might be climbing up. In my last 2 cycles before Clomid I had crazy swollen and sore boobs but my progesterone levels were still way under 30. Not saying it'll be the case for you, but for me sore boobs don't automatically mean progesterone peak. Such a good sign if it's a new symptom though! Means your body is doing something!!

[Loziliz75]

@sylva123 I feel completely wiped out I thought it was just my extra busy 13 shifts at work knackering me but today has been my day off and I have not managed to do very much coz I feel so tired! Hope I don’t feel this tired all the way through each cycle 🙈 xx

[CharlotteCx]

@Sylva123 okay il wait it out 🤣 I do always get sore boobs but usually around 7 days before AF due. Iv never had them sore at 2DPO onwards like this month - It's certainly not a new symptom even before Clomid that's how I knew I'd ovulated naturally cos I had sore boobs before I came on.

I'm just curious as to why I have them so early this month, is that a good sign or is it in my head sorta thing.

[CharlotteCx]

@Loziliz75 I can't say Iv felt more tired, I'm always tired 🤣 my only side affect was the hot flushes in the middle of the night x

[carleygh]

It's so weird isn't it you would think it would be the same everywhere @CharlotteCx 😂

Yay to the positive smiley @JadeS174 what test are you using? X

[CharlotteCx]

Literally everywhere you go it's different. I used to live in a place called Harlow which is 25 minutes down the road to where I live now but that county was Essex and my new county is Hertfordshire and their both completely different! 25 minutes down the bloomin road!
