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!!!

@Luna1108 when was yours done? How many DPO are you now?

I haven't been able to ask anyone yet what they mean!

its nice its means u ovulate i dont know why my doctor didn't gave me progesterone test hope good for all of us hope we didn't need other cycle of clomid

@chloedancer897 mine was done CD21, what about you?

My assumption was high progesterone probably meant I ovulated all the follicles I had, but no idea if that’s right! I’m back in clinic on Tuesday so hopefully I can ask then.

@Luna1108 mine was done CD19 as doctor said it should be 7 days after ov which by scan looked like it was on CD12. I've googled everything and can find no clear answer. It doesn't tell you much other than whether you've ovulated or not. Was your high progesterone this cycle or a previous cycle?

@chloedancer897 progesterone was last cycle. That cycle got cancelled at my follicle scan but I still wanted to know so I got a private one done with medichecks.

So currently CD6 of cycle 2 but really it’ll be cycle 1 of actually trying!

@Luna1108 ah ok! Were there too many follicles on scan?

Good luck this cycle. Please keep us updated!

I planned to test on Friday which will be CD26 for me. I usually have a 27-28 day cycle. This one has felt sooo long because of the clomid and scans etc. I'm feeling positive for the first time in years. I hope it's not for nothing

@chloedancer897 oh wow you’re so close! Glad to hear you’re feeling positive, I always think that’s a good sign.

My last cycle got cancelled because I had 4 really big, mature follicles and the clinic didn’t want us to try at the risk of multiples. We listened because they made it sound so dangerous but I regret it. But too late now! Just got to hope for this cycle.

On a lower dose though so now I’m worried it won’t have any effect

Are you back in clinic for HCG test or not?

@Luna1108 sounds like you react really well to clomid which is fantastic! Hopefully you release just enough follicles this time and can get the go ahead! Regret is never good in these situations. I think it's good to just move on from it. You never know what would have happened and last month wasn't the month for you.

I wasn't booked in for hcg bloods. Just going to take a test on Friday and hope for the best. If not, I'll start clomid again on CD2

@chloedancer897 the dr did say she was surprised to see me react the way I did given my low numbers and she said it was a good sign and a silver lining on the cancelled cycle. So I’m clinging onto that!!

Been doing a lot to help my body along so I reeeeally hope all the effort pays off. Please keep us updated, bet you’re counting down to Friday!

@Luna1108 I'm so glad you've reacted so well! I have everything crossed for you!

I just did a massive google search and I've concluded that really high progesterone means nothing 😂😂 but still clinging onto hope for this cycle!

@Luna1108 @chloedancer897 are you both on clomid cd2/7? I read few places they people tired and tried few cycles doing these days they when they did 5/9 they fell preg tht cycle no idea why or why doctors ive different days! Annoying as I was 5/9 but forgot to take!! (Can you believe) so took day 6/10 god hope doesn't have effect lol

@chloedancer897 oh no!! I was so hoping high progesterone was a good thing 🤣 I’ll ask on Tuesday, see what they say.

@lastbany I’m taking it CD2-6. I did wonder about taking it on different days though, I’ve seen that different days are good for different things.

@Luna1108 ah good what are the later ones?? Lol I've had bad cramps today like AF starting obv not b when I wiped had slight blood tinge wondering what tht is?!

@lastbany below is copied from a Facebook group I’m a part of. Not sure where they got the information from though!!

Could the blood be ovulation related?

^We get a lot of posts about the best time to take your meds. Here is a list of what different days can accomplish. I don't have a source for this, so take it or leave it. 💜 ALWAYS follow your Doctors instructions.

1-5 = you produce more eggs, and ovulate sooner, with a stronger ovulation.

2-6 = you produce more eggs that usual, but not as many as taking it 1-5. Eggs may be more mature, and ovulation will be slightly more strong than 1-5.

3-7 = The best of both worlds, a few more eggs, and all eggs will be strong & mature, and ovulation will be alot stronger than 1-5.

4-8 = No more eggs will be produced, but the ones already there, will be matured alot more than usual, and ovulation will be very strong. Ovulation may only be brought forward a teeny bit.

5-9 = You'll have one very mature strong egg, from the ones you already produced on your own. Ovulation will either happen when it usually does, or a few days later, but your egg will be of great quality.^

@Luna1108 not too sure ovulation tests say negative! So not sure
Wow this is good if it's true!!!

@lastbany took mine 5-9 only because I didn't get the prescription until then!

Where are you in your cycle? Could it be ovulation pain/bleeding? I got a tiny bit of bleeding 2 or 3 days into taking the clomid. I asked my consultant whether it was normal and he said 'not really' but didn't elaborate further 😂

@chloedancer897 I'm cycle day 11 tbh I've had nothing since and I do seem to get off bit usually few days after AF finished! So it's not alarming , I have got really bad cramps though like period pains tbh but my anxiety is so heightened and my temper been awful anyone else??

Hey guys! Hope you don’t mind me joining. First month of clomid. Currently on CD 11 and will start trying from tomorrow.

Also question - I noticed after my first clomid pill that it had completely eradicated my period. I usually bleed for four/five days but it was gone on CD3 Anyone else had a similar experience?

Baby dust to you all

@Lielle I started later on it so not sure about that sorry , I'm also. Cd 11 but did a later regime of clomid! How are you feeling from it? I'm feeling sorry for myself atm in bed as have cramping and generally feel shit! My anxiety is awful I feel sick and heartburn ahhh plus lots wind , also my first round

@Lielle when did you start clomid? I started days 5-9 so it actually made me bleed a day longer than normal!

@lastbany I was quite crampy around ovulation so you could be going that way?

@chloedancer897 ye a few have said that but my ovulation sticks say different but I do usually ovulate naturally between 12/14 so they could be wrong?! Bloody hell so confusing!

Oh interesting! So hopefully these changes are normal. I did day 3-7.

What CD are you on currently?

@Lielle hopefully it's just a side effect.

I'm CD21 🤞🤞

I'm on CD11 today I did 6/10 total error should have started day 5!! I had been on nights and totally lucked up I only had prescriptions for one lot as I was adamant I was only doing one try on it! Lol so o sort of thought in for a penny in for a pound!
