Aw was really hoping to come on and see some good news today!

I randomly woke up and have the linea nigra that you get in pregnancy! It completely baffled me. Right up my abdomen! I wonder if the clomid has really messed with my hormones 🤔

Good luck for everyone this moth. Here's hoping for lots of May BFPs!

lastbany · 16/04/2021 19:57

@chloedancer897 ah wow! As if 😂 I've decided to have a glass (bottle) 😂 wine tonight so long since I drank and though hoping last chance for a while

I’m going have a few drinks too this weekend. Uh let May be all out BFPs or maybe a few April ones still here too hopefully for us all.

I swear all I’m seeing today is people pushing buggies! And the witch is heavy today... uh! Picked up my prescription so on to tomorrow we go!

chloedancer897 · 16/04/2021 20:29

@Shelleybe I noticed Af was quite heavy after clomid. And it was 6 days! Hoping it's kinder to you!

Today I had a huge glob of cm come out.. never had that before! Have any of you had this whilst on Clomid! Had a positive OPK today so know it's due to ovulating but I've never had a huge glob come out like that before, made me wonder if I've ovulated more than one egg as I have had cramps on both sides.

chloedancer897 · 16/04/2021 21:31

@Happinesscomesfromwithin my CM is mental! So much of it! Hopefully it's a good sign!🤞🤞

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 16/04/2021 22:19

Yes was wondering if it means super ovulation or releasing more than one egg? I already have twin girls so don't really want twins again although of course any child is a blessing!

chloedancer897 · 16/04/2021 23:08

@Happinesscomesfromwithin aw that's amazing! What age are they?

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 16/04/2021 23:28

They are 6, identical girls! 🙂 @chloedancer897

chloedancer897 · 17/04/2021 09:00

@Happinesscomesfromwithin wow! That's so amazing! X

dragonfly1978 · 17/04/2021 13:27

Am 12 DPO today and think I am out this month, am super emotional and tearful which usually happens before AF. Due on Monday and did an ovulation test today (didn't have any pregnancy tests) which was negative and would have been positive if I was pregnant 😥. It's so hard month after month when AF arrives isn't it

Shelleybe · 17/04/2021 14:06

Aw I’m sorry @dragonfly1978 I totally understand. It is like a constant heartbreak. I hope you are ok x

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 17/04/2021 15:55

@dragonfly1978 Ovulation tests are not necessarily positive if you are pregnant! They were never positive for me when I was pregnant with my twins and they are 6 now!
You are not out until AF shows! Chin up Smile

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 17/04/2021 15:56

Thanks @chloedancer897 - How are you feeling today?

dragonfly1978 · 17/04/2021 16:04

@Shelleybe thanks, @Happinesscomesfromwithin thanks for that, I had read they were always positive if pregnant, now I have a small bit of hope but not much as am all over the place emotionally today which I think is a sign of impending AF!

Luna1108 · 17/04/2021 17:25

So the cramps are getting worse, as is the spotting. Plus a BFN this morning so I'm accepting I'm done for this month!

But... the spotting is just that, spotting and not full AF. So I'm not counting today as CD1, right? Last month I started in full flow at like 9pm so the nurse said that CD1 would be the next day. I guess I'm asking what time is cut off time 😂😆

chloedancer897 · 17/04/2021 18:39

@Luna1108 so sorry to hear AF is here. I counted my first day of proper bleeding as day 1. Then started on day 2. Is it definitely AF? Did you do a test?

@Happinesscomesfromwithin thank you for asking. Got my flashy smiley today so feeling hopeful again. Probably starting IVF next month if this doesn't work.

@lastbany any update?x

chloedancer897 · 17/04/2021 18:39

@dragonfly1978 a positive or negative OPK doesn't always mean that so don't rely too much on that. When is AF due? Will you test early?x

lastbany · 17/04/2021 18:44

@chloedancer897 nope ahhhh cd31 for me and nothing ! I didn't test though forgot this morning lol but am sure af on way we cramps feel like been having them all month!!

OP posts:
Luna1108 · 17/04/2021 18:44

@chloedancer897 yeah it’s AF, was due today and did a test this morning - BFN. The cramps are killing me and the spotting is pretty continuous but not bright red just yet.

When I started full flow at like 9pm the nurse said that it didn’t count as day 1 and to start the next day as day 1. So I just don’t know what time is cut off time! I’m hoping it holds off for another few hours and then I can just count tomorrow as CD1 so start Clomid again on Monday.

I was really hoping to have a 2021 baby 😔 but it is what it is.

Are you coming up to ovulation again??

chloedancer897 · 17/04/2021 19:40

@lastbany will you test tomorrow? You have so much more willpower than me!

@Luna1108 I'm so sorry. This month hasn't been lucky for anyone. I wanted to have a baby before I turned 36 but that's happening in June so not going to happen! Here's hoping next cycle is the one for us!

I'm CD13, think I'll get my static smiley tomorrow. It's so frustrating. My cycle is so predicable. I ovulate. And my husbands SA is normal. I just don't understand why it isn't happening for us

lastbany · 17/04/2021 22:30

@chloedancer897 haha it's not purposely lol it's just that I've been so busy lol I have had a really bad pain in and off in my right side of tummy very strange sharp pain, don't get it wish things would just start! I'm really sure not preg as thibk would have had a positive by now x

So last night around 11pm when I went toilet I got a smear of blood! Woke this morning but nothing again!! So annoying so if I do come on today which I am now thinking I will what time uptp can I call this day 1? Say if it's tea time can I call it day 1? Want to make sure so do it perfect this time!

lastbany · 18/04/2021 08:14

Ok so AF has started! Thankfully so if app is correct means I ovulated on the 17th which o got my strongest pos opk on the 16th so this sounds about right to me! We didn't dtd from cd13 so I believe this is why nothing happened! It's also 10 days after my last clomid so I'm happy in knowing that it all weighs up we just missed due to the bloody argument annoying but hey Ho it's life! So I'm happy to count today as day 1 for AF now I know she here this morning! So will start clomid Tom night! Hoping I ovulate earlier at cd12/14 as I usually would with taking it from day2! So seems we all on same boat 😂 @chloedancer897 your a little ahead of us all! So hopefully for this month for us all!! Would mean a jan due date but I usually have babies early due to complications So probably still be due around Xmas lol next step buy some good opk for this month!! Any other tips? Apart from don't fall out haha

Luna1108 · 18/04/2021 09:20

@lastbany we’re matched up this month! The witch hit with full force late last night so today is CD1 and I’ll be starting tomorrow.

I’m stocking up on easy@home OPKs and a pack of clear blue, some preseed just in case 😂, pomegranate juice and about 240 different supplements.

@Shelleybe what CD are you??

@chloedancer897 here’s hoping you’re the first of many in a couple of weeks!
