Clomid / wait game

[lastbany]

Hi
Started a new thread
All welcome
So basically today is my last day of clomid my first and only round!
So taking ovulating sticks , I'm cycle day 10
Wondered if anyone is in similar boat and want to keep each other company along the way!!!

@Marvellouslymadmum I didn't know that! I hope it works for you! Clomid is meant to work really well for PCOS. Other girls on here have been put on thyroxine for hypothyroid and it definitely impacts fertility so definitely get that checked out if you can!

This is my 1st round of clomid. Maybe my body just needs to adjust to it before it works

@chloedancer897 it's like a natural milder version and lots of people get bfp on it! Thought it was worth a shot - yeah I am going to speak to them about both on Tuesday/Wednesday hopefully.

Yeah I've heard a lot of people are more successful one 2nd or 3rd cycle with it so 🤞🏻 for you if it doesn't happen this time!

@chloedancer897 cd 18 today! And feel like getting cramps again and cm who noes lol hopefully can make up with other half tonorow lol

@lastbany are you still doing OPKs? Fingers crossed!

I'm out. Started bleeding today. On to the next round 😔

@chloedancer897 I’m sorry... hope doing ok... next month xxx

@Shelleybe thanks so much. I'm not great. I stupidly pinned a lot of my hopes on this month. And things looked like they were going good with a massive follicle growing and my progesterone levels being so high. I really was hopeful for the first time in a long time. DH doesn't want to do any more clomid. But I'm going to continue for at least another cycle before I give up

@chloedancer897 sorry af showed up, I'm feeling the same this month with the soy and already kicking myself because I know chances are it won't make a difference for me 🙁 I'd definitely give it another 1--2 goes though

@Marvellouslymadmum stay positive. I always think that helps. At least we both have plans moving forward which I think helps. This isn't the end of the road for either of us x

@chloedancer897 yes it definitely helps. I find I have up and down days some really positive where I think it will happen for us then others when I think it just never will!

@Marvellouslymadmum I feel exactly the same way. It's such a rollercoaster of emotions. I just wish we had a crystal ball to see if/when it will happen

Aww I’m so sorry @chloedancer897 I would go again definitely. It’s so hard as ya spend next few days with period and last thing you wanted. I’m so sorry. Husband is probably looking out for you x

@chloedancer897 aw no!!!! Ye Mayve mix the clomid up like you said?! I'm cd18 today have cramps today and deffo cm has upped but this has happened about three times this month I have ran out of ovulation sticks so when dp comes today will just carry on dtd!

Does the clomid make anyone else so emotional? Like I've had moods etc while was taking but today it's like everything's making me cry! Anything on tele!

@lastbany I felt same... like anxious and upset but it passed so hopefully same for you...

Question: is paracetamol ok... thumping headache

@Shelleybe totally fine! And I'm hoping it's a good sign that I'll ovulate late so still in with a chance!! Got cramps again deffo on cd18 what about you? Also banging head had it when a went to work last night but don't know if was stress or clomid xx

@Shelleybe paracetamol ok, but not ibuprofen. Apparently anything that is anti inflammatory isn’t good because ovulation is an ‘inflammatory process’ ...Can’t remember where I read that though.

Finally got a positive OPK today!! (Attached a pic) Does that mean dtd tonight and tomorrow? Can’t remember when the best times are, don’t want to miss our shot 😂

@Luna1108 that’s great, defiantly tonight and even tomorrow if you can. What cd are you on?

@lastbany I get rollercoaster moments for sure. Like suddenly feel really sad or irritable. I try and find something happy to watch (or eat!). Sorry you’re feeling rubbish!

@Suki2020 I’m CD13 today. OPK is a day earlier than normal but I’m just glad to see it!

@Luna1108 wow is that dye on the positive side too?! Never had one that dark lol but not took any for 5 days now! On cd18 but obv took 6/10 got cramps keep coming strong on and off not sure! But not dtd since wed so feel mega pissed off lol
I'd deffo go for it as much as possible tbh! Whe are you back at clinic x

@Luna1108 also what you said about anti inflammatory stuff I've been prescribed prednisalone dues to a skin problem I've put off taking it and taking it but it's to point my skin is really bad and infected!! They think I had a allergic reaction like 7 weeks ago to something it's set off excema that's getting worse don't think stress helps but I've had to take. As it's getting to pout effecting me sleeping etc! So really think my chances are out!!!

Does anyone else get bad cramps around ovulation on clomid? Also has anyone ovuamye a lot later than usual with clomid? I'm usually 12/14 very now and again 17/18 but only when longer cycle so only going on app? Just wondering if still in with chance

@lastbany yeah the dark line is the test line, can’t actually believe it’s so dark!

Maybe because you took the clomid later, you’ll ovulate later? Do you track your temps? I’ve had noticeable cramps today, all on my right side. Have you had any symptoms?

@Luna1108 I don't t h a try to do least as possible to not stress self out! Haha
Cramps and cm a lot but had it on off for few days!!

@lastbany what days did you take your clomid? The later you take it the later you ovulate. I ovulated late last cycle it was cd26 but hoping this cycle will be earlier.

@Suki2020 I messed up should have been 5/9 but due to working nights I calculated wrong started 6 realised but only doing for one cycle so thought better carry on!!
