Clomid / wait game

@Lielle does she know your TTC story? I'm sure she didn't intentionally mean to offend you and I'm sure she'd understand that you can't bring yourself to attend her appointment with her. Let her know that you empathise with her but you can't personally do that right now.

Cd25 today saying 4 days till af on my app (I know not accurate) last month I started af on cd32 which is quite late for me! So thinking surely a test would show now so thinking may get. Test for morning! As I think by wed I need to be contacting clinic if want more clomid if af started want to start it cd2 this time!

@Happinesscomesfromwithin your number is nothing to worry about, well within the normal parameters. My bloods were taken cd28 I think, last day of cycle just as af was starting. But mine are so low I don’t think a couple of days would make a difference. It was a devastating blow when I got my results!

@lastbany what app are you using? Did you ever confirm ovulation? Just thinking whether you go 14 days from there then that should be good for testing? Sorry I know you’ve probably already said this...

lastbany · 11/04/2021 09:20

@Luna1108 nope never did! Haha my fault I try the laid back approach but actually end up stressing myself haha! My cm is like woooo and weeing in night but could be geeringuo for af!!

Luna1108 · 11/04/2021 09:27

@lastbany I tried that approach for a month and it was more anxiety inducing than tracking cos I was worried I’d miss my ovulation day 😆

To be honest I think tracking just helps me feel like I’ve got some control, that’s all!

I’m really hoping to see a few BFPs in this thread this week!!

lastbany · 11/04/2021 09:31

@Luna1108 I know bloody hell haha ! Anyone it weight on?? I feel so bloated and fat! And my hips feel huge haha

Mine was taken last day of cycle too and my doctor said it definitely does affect the results. Numbers can jump up vastly when measured in luteal phase v follicar phase day 3 and 5. I'm gonna retest next cycle so we will see if it holds true!

Shelleybe · 11/04/2021 13:28

@lastbany I feel bloated and def feel put on few lbs. are you going to test tomorrow? I’m actually excited for everyone to test. I may as well wait I’ve done early before and it just always gets me..

lastbany · 11/04/2021 13:35

@Shelleybe haven't got a test yet and I don't know a got cramps and massive increase in cm craving for all the chocolate etc so I think it's AF hate the negative tests !! And thibk cheap ones are crap but don't want to spend£10 to be seeing BfN!! What about you

Shelleybe · 11/04/2021 17:25

lastbany · 11/04/2021 17:35

lastbany · 11/04/2021 18:20

@Shelleybe I'm cd 25! Seems to me like af coming! If I am due on in 3 days seems I did ovulate around 12/14 but I don't know if I will

lastbany · 11/04/2021 18:20

Shelleybe · 11/04/2021 18:47

lastbany · 11/04/2021 22:48

@Shelleybe aw god ! I'm getting myself so worked up! Caus I can't stop weeing! But don't want to get excited because I know it can just be AF! But god I can't stop!! You any signs???

lastbany · 12/04/2021 07:44

So I've weed in a pot this morning to get first catch so that I can nip shop buy a test! Have right headache this morning lol seriously think AF is on the way 😢😢

Shelleybe · 12/04/2021 08:03

@lastbany I’ll have everything crossed for you for BFP. I feel lower cramps like mine is coming on... but that would be early for me

lastbany · 12/04/2021 09:23

So I a BFN for me!! I'm pretty sure I'm out! So gonna give clinic a ring and get some more to give it one more go!! It wa sa cheap asda test but one you can take 4 days before AF due so I'm cd25 I think it rules me out!!

OP posts:
Shelleybe · 12/04/2021 09:36

Aw @lastbany no! I’m so sorry. I think I have wait to test as I’m still only CD23. I have seen a lot where people say it’s another round or so. Easier said but if ya can and feel up to it another round. Sending ya big hug x

lastbany · 12/04/2021 09:43

@Shelleybe sort of knew! Just annoying cais do have symptoms such as weeing etc but maybe all bloat going from clomid! Think will try one more but obv take from cd2 not 6 like I ducked up haha just didn't wanna get it and not use if I did ovuamye nega late!!

OP posts:
chloedancer897 · 12/04/2021 09:51

@lastbany I'm so sorry. I'm glad you're giving it another go though. I had myself convinced this month too. I was up to the toilet all the time, nausea and increased smell. And I didn't have any of my usual AF symptoms before it came. It must be the clomid messing with us!

I took mine CD2-6 this month, so hoping I ovulate around CD12-14! Are you doing the same?

lastbany · 12/04/2021 09:53

@chloedancer897 yes I think so! Gonna try for that! I just hope I come on on time and don't have to wait ages!!! But going to try 2/6 like you :) as I do usually ovulate earlier on so fingers crossed I come on AF before weekend! So I can get trying lol

lastbany · 12/04/2021 10:13

Just looked on my app and I had made a note that on cd15 was when I got my strongest ovulation positive, however I then ran out so stopped testing! We didn't dtd after cd14 but did every day from cd5/14 (peaked too early lol) but thinking if I did ovulate on cd15/16 would it be too early to test today? At only 9/10 days post ovulation? Or am I totally clutching at straws! I know they say Sperm can live 5 days but I've never got preg when we didn't do it bang on!?
