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 wouldn't chance not starting to DTD now. It's probably almost ready to ovulate so I get working!

@Shelleybeayve it's just it working and normal then?! Feel really excited and nervous at same time x

@lastbany what CD are you on?

I’m getting sooo impatient. CD 14. Using ovusense and OPK’s but it seems im not even close to ovulating

@Lielle exact same! Day 14! App says ovulation today (aware never right) not had any opk for three days lol so could have and missed on tht so we just dtd every day to cover! Will get some more tomorow when I can get out to cover! Cramps today pretty uncomfortable but did have them while taking clomid i fudged up so took days 6/10 hoping didn't make a difference but also worried I was ovulating anyway and then clomid will make me produce more eggs later in cycle!
Been following a clomid lady with triplets (born today) and one baby was 2 weeks behind the others as she ovulated after twins were conceived!!!

Omg @lastbany what is the triplets story? Eeek how much clomid and was she doing anything else.

I’m CD11 but cramping right now but negative on OPK. I usually always day 12/13 so be interesting to see if anything on OPKs over next few days. I think you can get cramps all month. Just keep every day or other day and ya won’t miss

@lielle I know I’m same I keep hoping to see a positive on OPK. I usually use Clearblue ones and it’s 4 days but this month bought cheaper ones. Might regret not spending the extra

This is going be longest few weeks...

@lastbany wait, what??? So she ovulated twice and all the eggs fertilised!? I honestly would be over the moon with twins. I really would

@Shelleybe I don't think the OPKs are entirely accurate on clomid. Are you getting any other follow up from the doctors?

Speaking of waiting, this wait is actually killing me. I wish you could just know if you were going to get your period or not in advance. So you could prepare yourself! I just wish someone could tell me if it was going to happen or not. I'm preparing myself mentally for another round of clomid.

Does anyone have any ideas for surviving the TWW?

@chloedancer897 @Shelleybe @Lielle @Luna1108 so yes she was on 50mg no children prior, first shot! She conceived twins then two weeks later another egg!!! So she had triplets today at 29weeks :) each was 2lb only one needs ventilation so all looks good three girls! O they are triplets because have same b day but technically not conceived together haha!
So I've just ran out and got some tests lol so it's deffo darker but not the same yet so i don't think I've ovulated but gonna keep up the bdanging and hope for best!

@chloedancer897 so I have found because right have a little one it's really took my mind off it and doesn't worry me as much! Really wanted 18 month ago (don't ask me why) I got upset when wasn't happening! She will be 2 in dec hopefully when her sibling/s would be due if I conceive this time xx

@lastbany what an amazing story. I hope they are all ok.

I find that during the TWW no matter what I do, I am always thinking about it. This stage is when I go to the toilet a million times to check if I'm spotting.

@lastbany wow that triplet story is crazy 😂😂😂. Ah snap! So do you always ovulate same time and have pretty stable cycles? I'm all over the place so not quite sure when I ovulate which is why I got this amazing little ovusense tracker.

@chloedancer897 ive also heard this re OPK's not being accurate on clomid! So odd. Do you know why?

@lastbany I just wonder if the 19mm one hasn’t had long enough to mature! Like it’s not fully ready, does that even make sense?!

They want me in on Friday to check if either I’ve ovulated or just about to.

@chloedancer897 ye I was hypnotised by it because they had asked them to do that selection where they terminate one as obv triplets such higher risk than twins (sire you be more on the know) the women was tiny 5ft! And belly was huge!!!
Yes it's awful! The wait! It all seems to go so slow I've found this even slower with the clomid Caus obv I usually don't start thinking till day 10 had to do from day 5 well 6 lol!
And I symptom spot! I usually (when preg) get cramps but obv AF never shows I also wee like a race horse! However past 10 months I've had this every time! So annoying it's like it's torturing me

Do you guys think it's worth booking in follicular scans privately? Wasn't offered on NHS just a blood test on day 21

@chloedancer897 I have no scans just blood work CD17 for progesterone. So I won’t know then of ovulated. We are just going every second day at min since day 7

@lastbany that’s mad omg imagine ovulating twice in month. Did she have anything else like trigger shot or just literally the 50mg clomid

We have no kids so we would be fine with twins thrilled to be honest although shocked too!

@chloedancer897 I know what you mean when near time spotting checking. Your head would be melted. How many more days till you are due period? Hopefully ya don’t see it everything crossed x

@Luna1108 but your only early on? I read 18mm and above classed as viable!
So I can't see why not xx

@Lielle the only thing I think for me with the scans does it play with your head how many follicles and then they say don’t cause risk of multiples. I nearly think I’m better not knowing if that makes sense. I am just getting blood work

@Lielle used to have a steady 27day cycle AF would start 28 days had mini pill after daughter 2019 only for 3 months and since had a short cycle then a long one was like tht for 6 months then tbh it's been 28/31 days past 10 months! Very annoying don't know if it's pill or having my daughter or am I going through change lol (37)

@Lielle I wasn't even offered the blood about tbh but I actually think I'm happy not having scan or anything Caus would only make me worry, personally I've took the clomid fingers crossed I ovuamye a good one and it sticks think be nice to get a BFP and then go for scan to see how many are there lol rather than more tests to make me worry x

@lastbany haha! Well at least you have normal cycles now and the most amazing gift of all your daughter

Thanks @Shelleybe. Will see how it goes this month without the scans then

@Lielle most definitely!

@lastbany so the size means it’s viable? Sorry if that’s a stupid question.

@Lielle I’m paying for monitored cycles privately, but that’s mainly because I had investigations done at the same clinic and this is their first port of call before they ramp it up to ivf. So I decided to stick with them.

Plus my age means the nhs won’t even think about looking at my case for another year and I couldn’t wait that long!

@Lielle you do get in your head about all the numbers though. Think @Shelleybe is right, you may as well not know!
