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!!!

@Shelleybe sorry to hear that.

@lastbany woohoo finally lol.

@Shelleybe have you said to your OH that you are ovulating it may help. I’m doing ok thanks in the tww now. Only 4dpo so no symptoms at the moment. I have a blood test on Friday.
@lastbany hope it goes ok for you today

Sperm can live for up to 5 days. And they actually recommend it's better to to have sex in the days leading up to ovulation so you have sperm waiting there.

Thanks @PurpleUnicorn01 @Suki2020 @Happinesscomesfromwithin it’s just that feeling like could miss the critical days 🙈 after everything it’s like you feel can’t just miss a month. He knows I’m ovulating but it’s just hard situation at mo

@Suki2020 good luck with blood work. Mine is next Tuesday

@Shelleybe I know how you feel had the same lst month it's awful xx

@Shelleybe the pressure and stress is unbelievable. Take this month to just get your mind and body ready for next month instead of thinking it's a waste of a month. There's so much pressure to DTD on certain days and it can become really overwhelming. I think this month is out for me too. I've been so stressed that I'd severely doubt I've made a habitable environment! Are you on vitamins or anything? And I've found keeping a journal has been really helpful.

@lastbany please let us know. Still no sign of AF?

Where is everyone else in their cycle? I'm 9 DPO today.

I'm 11-12 dpo today.

Nope still
No sign! Sooo annoying 😂😂 cd 43 today

I had a weird cycle like that a few months ago @lastbany - no rhyme or reason. My period came at cd60 and it's never happened before.

@Happinesscomesfromwithin really?? What did your clinic say about it? Tbh I feel mine has been pretty unhelpful and then I have been worrying about all sorts thinking I have cysts from them or even worse! Have lower back pain it's not comfy! I fetched the blood test to wirk picked the paper work up rather Ethan going Friday and all they testing is hcg!???? Wtf

@chloedancer897 I’m CD12 today, my apps tell me I’ll ovulate this weekend. How are you feeling? When’s test day?

@lastbany I suppose they’re ruling out pregnancy or a chemical but they should be doing a scan maybe if they’re worried about cysts?? Or did I miss that they are? So so frustrating for you!

@chloedancer897 I’m 5DPO no symptoms for me but know it’s too early yet.

This was before I was being seen by a clinic.... Completely regular after that. I just put it down to not ovulating that cycle or ovulating really late. Hasn't happened again since.

I woke up today with such painful cramps I'm sure AF must be on her way.

I have no symptoms either. Due AF on Monday. I'm not going to test this time. Last month was awful. So many BFNs and tears. It wasn't worth it 😔

@Happinesscomesfromwithin pregnancy symptoms and AF symptoms are so similar they are indistinguishable. You're not out until you're out!

What I've learned after 3 1/2 years of TTC is that the progesterone causes the symptoms and you get a rise in progesterone whether you're pregnant or not so symptoms or lack of symptoms mean nothing. Not one person knows they are pregnant until they get those two lines. Symptom spotting has been my downfall and made me super anxious. Also, early testing is awful because even if you get a BFN, you convince yourself it's too early and you could still get a BFP. So waiting for AF this month has made me stress less. Last month I was counting down the days until I could use an FRER and used 6 over 4 days convincing myself they were all wrong.

This could help some of you

Positive OPK a couple of days early! Good thing I started testing and didn’t wait.

Can never find a proper answer on when it will actually happen following an OPK. 12 hours, 24, 36, 48. The internet is unhelpful.

@chloedancer897 thanks a mil. Journal is a good idea. I’m taking vitamins and pomegranate juice. Def next month be bit better timing wise. I’m still going have everything crossed for you over next few days x

@Happinesscomesfromwithin hope it’s not and it’s other symptoms... still crossing everything for you

@lastbany aw exactly it’s like missing that certain time stress

@Luna1108 I think up to 48 hours I would try. My acupuncturist said to me sure try if can have sex still cause you never know. Every woman is different so it’s not an exact time but as close as they can get up to 48hours could happen... good luck baby making 😜

I’m going continue pomengrante juice and Brazil nuts and just wait for AF. I have food lists from acupuncturist if anyone wants I could upload them. I’ll be honest I haven’t gone out and completely followed them...

Blood test shows no pregnancy! I knew I honestly did but how annoying cd44 they don't what to give me meds to fetch me on but why?!!!

At @lastbany that's so annoying. The Clomid has definitely extended your cycle

@PurpleUnicorn01 deffo! They pretty much blaming tht I took late etc which fair enough but what punish me then?! Haha don't know how long it can go on for! Keep thinking ah I'm wet it's here but nope!!!

@lastbany that’s so frustrating.... I’m sorry hun. Did they give any other advice or anything

Well the bad cramps I had this morning subsided soon after and haven't had any for the rest of the day. I still have loads of creamy CM and super sore nipples not breasts just nipples, although DH did say that my breasts have got bigger. Who knows, I'm waiting until Monday if no AF I'll be two days late and will test then!

Aww @Happinesscomesfromwithin eeeek hopeful for Monday for you. Only think I had in LP was cramps sore nipples were way earlier. That’s got to be positives
