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 I think maybe go for it. Like it’s hard having to miss another cycle. What is your other half saying?

@Shelleybe he feels the same as me thankfully, that we can’t let another month go by!

@lastbany so annoying to have to make this decision but like you said, if they weren’t monitoring me I wouldn’t even know!

Not sure what next steps would be?! Just try a month without it or what. Ughhh why is this so easy for most people.

@chloedancer897 I’m sorry to hear about your BFN. You’re not out until af arrives though!!

I’m just after being told about someone else expecting due in September... it’s so hard.. it’s like the couple look at each other bang they are preggers and there is us doing everything we can... don’t mean to sound selfish but just find it hard

@Luna1108 yeah like we aren’t being scanned so could be more but sure going for it anyway... can you speak to doc about it regarding next month and just go for it this month

Cramping on and off all day. Had accupuncture. Not too sure about it just yet but she was very informative about diff topics

@Luna1108 you know what's right for you both. Follow your heart.

@Shelleybe I did acupuncture for about 4 months. It did nothing at all for me. The first session she asked so much about my journey and specific concerns. By the end it seemed so rushed and we ended up talking about covid a lot. I felt no better having done it. Although it could have just been the person I went to.

I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that I'm probably out this month. This is why I never test early! Although this morning I was hoping for a nice surprise. I've only had one positive test in our whole 3 1/2 years of trying that I lost at 6 weeks. This journey has been so heartbreaking. I even mentioned fostering today to my husband because I fear we aren't going to get any further

@chloedancer897 sorry o didn't see where you put you tested! How many days po are you?? God it's so hard seeing that negative!!!

@lastbany I don't really know how many DPO I am 😂😂 I got a scan on 19th and there was a 22mm follicle there ready to burst so I assumed that I ovulated that day which would make me 11DPO. But I didn't get positive OPKs until 22nd which puts me at 7dpo (definitely too early). So maybe it's too early. I am CD23 and I usually get my period after CD27 unless my cycle is longer this month. I suppose I'm not out until AF comes but I did think I'd see a positive by now 😔

@chloedancer897 ah ye deffo! That's good news I would say your deffo still in!! Wait till weekend then maybe take a frer Caus that way would tell you xx

@lastbany thank you. Let's hope so! Did you end up taking all your clomid?

@chloedancer897 ye a did! Today is day 13 I took 6/10 so would usually ovulate around 12/14 sometimes later so been dtd since day 7 each day with just day 9 off! Gonna keep at it for as long as we can till I get bored lol conscious i mig hi ovulate late due to clomid? Also worried I'll ovulate "normal" time then two weeks later we clomid lol read a lot about tht lately' 😂😂

@lastbany you guys must be exhausted 😂😂

I've read conflicting things too about ovulation. I'm hoping mine was later so that means I've tested too early 😂

@chloedancer897 not bad at the minute ask me after weekend hahah

@chloedancer897 I definitely think you are still in this month. Everything crossed. I know what you mean about acupuncture too. I told my partner I’ll give it a few goes and see. She also gave me food diet sheet... I was like uh! Can’t deal!

@lastbany fair play! Every day. We are every second day

I’m feeling really tired... way more than usual. CD11 usually ovulate tomorrow or next day be interesting to see if clomid changes that

@Shelleybe @chloedancer897 my app says it's ovulation day today! I'm CD 14 but I am taking with a pinch of salt! Usually we do every other day for 7 days over ovulation doing it on ovulation and day after but because I never know if I have ovulated as I have up we expensive sticks few
cycles ago! So figured let's do it everyday to give us best chance as I feel like this cycle is my last good chance before giving up!!
Knowing my luck I'll ovulate about day 20 and have given up day 18!!!

@lastbany here is one thing acupuncturist said to me once get ovulation so like think ovulate day 14 go to day 16 at least. Once we ovulate or think we have we usually do it up to that day so maybe we have been going wrong. She said sometimes people miss it cause they are so done with trying and get ovulation then that day or next then leave it and take a break. Hope that’s making sense

@Shelleybe ye I agree as positive on stick means will happen in 24 hours also then takes time to travel! I have run out of ovulation sticks (cheapos) so didn't test yesterday or today! And can't get them till at olestra lunch tonorow so that's annoying and also typical! Haha I'll just hope for best lol

Yea we obviously go on ovulation but I think sometimes we don’t go two days after which maybe is it... maybe I’m clutching though as I think we do it all the time

Day 2: 3 follicles. 12, 16 and 19mm. The other 2 are below 10 so the nurse says they’re out.

Thank god! They’ll let me trigger / try with 3

Although I’m thinking that 19mm one is heading to pop and I’m only CD9!

@Luna1108 that’s brill! Go for it!

@Luna1108 amazing news good job you double checked!!!

@Luna1108 yay! Get BDing immediately!

Do you think that 19mm one will ovulate soon? It won’t be mature enough I don’t think?

@Luna1108 what do you mean?

Wondering if I am
Ovulating as cramps have started again! Either that or I'm just gonna suffer on off cramps throughout the month

@lastbany I feel like I keep getting cramps on and off. My opk still negative but not sure... it’s weird cause haven’t had this much cramping ever
