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!!!

Hey ladies.. I just need to vent! Three (pregnant) friends went ‘baby shopping’ today and posted lots of lovely, happy photos and now I feel absolutely awful, I’ve been sad all day.

Don’t have any symptoms and I didn’t hear back from the clinic today, don’t know why. I feel like I’m out this month, again!

Overall just feeling very sorry for myself and although my husband really sympathises, he can’t feel it from my point of view. I know you ladies do though.

Ugh 😢

Aw @Luna1108 I do get this. My friends all tagged each other in stuff to all go away as family groups and it just made me feel so excluded and emotional cause it was like I should be part of this. I hope you are ok and you have your time soon. Sending you huge hug. I totally get it though

@lastbany I have lots of cramps I think it’s my AF too much of coincidence on timing... uh!

@Luna1108 aw no! Well I wouldn't worry yet as you're egg looked good and you dtd perfect timing! So fingers crossed you won't be! I think I deffo am I just hope my AF starts on time so I can take this clomid correctly and not be boxed up with my nights etc!!

So I missed a call from gyno to discuss clomid and progesterone etc. I got so emotional and cried cause of the missed call as he is so hard to get. Lots and lots of cramping. I’m nearly sure it’s my AF :(

So next lot of clomid ordered! This will deffo be my last but I will be taking day 2/6 , not got AF yet app saying one more day! Still have cramps and bloating etc going to make sure I buy expensive ovulation sticks has anyone got any advice on those as I see some clear blue (ones buy in shop) usually only have 10 sticks abs you can't buy more ?! Anyone seen any with 20? As I'm worried 10 won't be enough? Want to make sure that this month I am doing everything I can (without stressing) to make sure we're giving ourselves the best shot! Before hanging the hat up and just been blessed with the 3 we have xx

@lastbany I find the Clearblue with 4 days the best ones as it catches high and peak... I was fine with 10 days worth of those sticks whereas cheapies I fly through. I’m same going get prescription ordered I would say tomorrow. I have way too much cramps that feel like my usual period cramps to not have it come I be shocked..

@Shelleybe ye I know my AF could be late but I didn't dtd after cd14 so I know it would be so so unlikely! This time I am going to be onit!! Not letting another month slip me by?!!!

@lastbany I have the easy@home ones from Amazon, plus the pack of 10 clear blue ones. I like to see the line progression using the Premom app but then confirm it with the clear blue ones because they need a certain level of LH to give a positive. Seems like you’re excited to give it another shot next month!

@Shelleybe isn’t today test day?! Or are you waiting for af to hopefully not arrive?

@lastbany I got a pack with 20 from Amazon. They were on offer too!

The last few days of the TWW are the worst! Still have my fingers crossed for you all xx

Got DH SA back and it's totally normal. So that's every test done and repeated and nothing is wrong. They are giving me a date for IVF shortly

@Luna1108 today is test day but thinking give it another day to test as had cramps since yesterday which is my normal sign period coming... how you feeling? My gyno called I’m back on 50mg again for next month same plan anyway he said pending obviously if AF comes. Tempted to test but cramps have put me thinking ah no it’s def negative

@Shelleybe I’m feeling a bit better this morning, thank you. Although keep waking up with horrible headaches. Been having cramps too which I think means af is on her way 🙄 I already have my clomid though so I can start that again if needed. Thankfully wouldn’t be monitored this month so I wouldn’t have to go back and forth again.

I’m keeping everything crossed for you!

@chloedancer897 that’s great news about the SA. Although I know it can be frustrating when you’re almost hoping for an answer. Have they given you an idea of timeline for ivf?

@Luna1108 I am actually feel settled and like everything's in place lol but this will be my last try! Sad but I'll have to give up as have to make decisions at work etc can't keep holding off! What day cycle are you?? I'm 27 today so expecting anytime!

@Luna1108 they said they'd be in touch. I think it'll be next month. I'm really hoping it just happens this month. We are spending our house deposit on IVF and part of me feels so guilty about it. But it has been almost 3 1/2 years now so I don't want to wait much longer.

When are you all due to test? I'm so impressed you have all held out!

So update on me kind of. I got my dates wrong. So my last cycle was an extra day. I was 26 days not 25. I just checked my Clearblue app. So if I go extra day again this month I would be due my period tomorrow. It’s usually 25 days. Hope I’m making sense.. I’m still cramping since yesterday which is unusual as normal sign it’s coming next day or within few hours and nothing has arrived yet. I said to my partner will we test anyway tonight and he is like no wait till tomorrow evening... as I’m cramping and I know he just doesn’t want me disappointed. Any advice? Would you test or wait? Hope ye are all doing good

@chloedancer897 hope this month is your month so ye don’t have to do IVF but good to have a plan. We have discussed the same after 3 cycles x

@lastbany are you going to test...x

@Shelleybe personally would do first thing in morning as doing at night your not going to get accurate and then be beating self up!
I'm not testing till sat if still no AF but tbh hoping AF has shown and I can get on we next cycle!! I still have cramps and bloating but nothing come yet cd27

@lastbany ah ok as I’m so tempted to go out and buy test now but part of me doesn’t want to see it if negative. Such head wreck

@Shelleybe it's awful! I know that if I was preg it would be showing! Thts why I want AF to just hurry! So many people say ah it's still early but think deffo at 14 days po a test will show so mine if not sat is a deffo no but Liek a say preying AF hurry's up lol get me on these last clomid and let's hope this is the next month lol

@lastbany aw I know what ya mean. If it’s coming ya just want it to start. I so want to test. My head is a mess at the moment ... wondering... and then just want to be like ok negative on to next month or could it be??

@Shelleybe if your due tonorow and buy a early test your deffo would show I think :)

@Shelleybe wait until the morning as FMU is more accurate. It's so hard waiting! Do you have some tests at home?

@lastbany @Shelleybe We’re not out til af shows!!

@chloedancer897 I’m due Saturday so waiting until Friday at the earliest. Hoping to hold out until Saturday though to be absolutely certain. I can’t face any more BFNs!

So chatted with my partner when he got home from work. He thinks I should wait till Friday or Saturday after being disappointed testing early. It’s so hard not to test... I want to know but get what he is saying... I have no tests here so just need nip down to shop ...

So I have cheapie Poundland ovulation tests and just tried one. Only control line so I read they show a second line. Think with cramps and that I’m out for this month.... x

@Shelleybe my cramps are bad! Very annoying just want af to start now! Usually should be tomorow and I am on nights lol so maybe will come
