@Luna1108 I'm only going on internet but yep said above 18 if yours is 19 already I'm sure! It says they grow 3-4 mm a day in latter stages x

@Luna1108 are you still feeling any pulling with them growing?

@lastbany so are you going to do opks all cycle in case ovulate twice or later if get me?

@chloedancer897 I know what ya mean ya would nearly prefer to know period is coming or not.. the waiting game and checking is head wreck

@lielle where are you in your cycle? Sorry if ya already answered that

lastbany · 31/03/2021 19:09

@Shelleybe ye I am so basically missed past two days but think it's unlikely I have ovulated already! Have another 5 so will take them then if need more but them only cheapos :) but will keep dtd to cover! Funny thing is my dog is pregnant and has her scan tonorow !!!

@Shelleybe I usually get my period between CD25-27 so from tomorrow onwards. But I don't know if my cycle is messed up from the clomid. My app is telling me it isn't due until next Tuesday.

Luna1108 · 31/03/2021 19:18

@Shelleybe I certainly haven’t felt them as strong as last time on the higher dose but there is still a bit of pulling today.

They want me back Friday but told us to dtd tomorrow. Not sure why they didn’t say today. My LH tests are still negative and I have no cm.

I feel like this is a bad cycle maybe. Finding it hard to stay positive! Feels like my body is betraying me a bit!

chloedancer897 · 31/03/2021 19:18

I can't remember who asked about OPKs but apparently clomid can raise your LH so it gives you false positives. All the articles I've read have said you usually ovulate 5-9 days after your last tablet but should have bloods to confirm this.

I didn't know about the 5-9 days thing, if that's the case I definitely didn't DTD enough!

I always find I'm not interested after I ovulate. I don't know if it's hormones. It's awful! My poor DH must feel like a baby making machine lol

lastbany · 31/03/2021 19:52

@chloedancer897 yes I read this also 5/10 days after last tablet bit can be before or after lol helpful haha not!
We will just have to hope for best xx

@chloedancer897 fingers crossed for you. I know what you mean once ovulate you be just done but I have been told make sure to do it up to 2 days after. I’ve seen a few places it can lengthen cycle too

@Luna1108 so go for it tomorrow at least they said that before the scan and I hope scan goes well on Friday

It’s mad the way opks can give false positives I’m getting nada so far... be interesting if I get any positive. Lots of cramps for me CD11 now but no CM either... my cycle is 25 days so don’t know. Next few days will tell. April 14th would be usual time of date... so 2 more weeks to wait...

I guess reading diff places at least we are on clomid I see people saying they are waiting to go on and things like that. How nice would it be if all of us in next few weeks were congratulating each other x

Luna1108 · 31/03/2021 20:33

I thought clomid delayed ovulation?!

I can’t find a straight answer on the internet ConfusedSad

Thank you everyone for all your messages. This thread is helping so much ❤️

lastbany · 31/03/2021 21:20

@Shelleybe be so nice to be able to transfer us all onto a new thread pregnant from clomid!!!

chloedancer897 · 31/03/2021 21:58

@Shelleybe you're so right. We are lucky to be here. Some people struggle to get clomid. So at least we've made it this far!

lastbany · 31/03/2021 22:02

@chloedancer897 you'll be our resident midwife to go to and pick brain!!

@lastbany lol not a problem!

Lielle · 01/04/2021 00:33

@Shelleybe currently on CD 15, what about you?

@chloedancer897 re ovulation with clomid, im also confused lol. My doctor said it will happen 5-10 days from the last pill, but I've heard loads of other conflicting guidance

Shelleybe · 01/04/2021 07:50

So I have a positive ovulation test this morning. I know not to fully rely on it but all others have been negative. Still going try to go for as much of the month

@Lielle I’m CD12 and took my last tablet CD6. I usually always peak around this date. My cycle then is 25 days usually depending if the clomid delays it or .....

We dtd last night got the positive this morning so will def go tonight and tomorrow ... I feel tired 😂

lastbany · 01/04/2021 08:09

God so I have a bit of a update! Not sure if it's due to the clomid or what but I woke at 2am sweaty feeling funny and had over whelming stomach ache I rushed to toilet as I sat there I thought I was going to faint (had to shout my 17 yo) I opened the bedroom window laid in bed a little while then had to run to toilet and threw up 6 times and sorry for tmi but I've never had sick like it! Was so thick it could hardly come up! Then after I went laid in bed was sweaty but cold! It was like it came from the tummy pain
Could I have had a little bug? E could it be clomid? When I woke at first I thought god am I ovulating a load of eggs! Caus it wa like my body was overwhelmed with something! Anyway feel ok this morning forgot to do ovulation test haha
Will try later! Anyone else had sick Liek this? Or do you think I have a bug

OP posts:
Shelleybe · 01/04/2021 08:17

@lastbany I have heard about hot sweats and nausea so maybe it’s clomid. How you feeling now? Awww poor you sounds like a hard night

lastbany · 01/04/2021 08:27

@Shelleybe just a bit delicate lol we had chop shop late on )only had chip butty) but wondered if was tht laid in my stomach I'm not sure! See how I go! Working tonorow night bloody typical had 12 days off!

OP posts:
Shelleybe · 01/04/2021 08:47

@lastbany Yeah hard to tell if clomid or just tummy bug. I think our heads be all over the place with everything and our bodies 🙈 ah no about tomorrow night... it’s so hard isn’t it to make it all work and be in the mood! Ha!

chloedancer897 · 01/04/2021 09:23

@Shelleybe yay for positive OPK! Fingers crossed for you! Welcome to the dreaded TWW!

@lastbany poor you! I hope you're ok xo I had headaches with clomid but no nausea.

Another negative FRER today 😔

lastbany · 01/04/2021 09:26

@chloedancer897 aw god! Very annoying!! My dig had a scan this morning! No puppies found wtf my dog may also need clomid haha! Joel's aside I'm so pissed of lol

OP posts:
Shelleybe · 01/04/2021 09:32

@chloedancer897 ah no on the test but if maybe next Tuesday is due and delay with clomid... stil hope x

The waiting game... like ya said yesterday if ya just knew now and could be like yay or ok next month.. it’s the wait and the tests

lastbany · 01/04/2021 11:16

Any thoughts on this ovulation stick? It is a cheapo and the light is not great! The line is much thinner which makes it look lighter! But to me in person the lines look similar in colour?

Clomid / wait game

@lastbany do you have the Premom app? It takes pics of your OPKs and tells you when they're high and peak

lastbany · 01/04/2021 12:31
