@lastbany wow 1000!

I’m sorry you’re feeling down. The toll this journey takes can be insufferable sometimes. Do you think you’d be better waiting?

I’m 15dpo today, still waiting for af. Just want to get on with my next round now.

lastbany · 10/06/2021 13:55

@Luna1108 have you tested? Sorry I'm so not with it with where everyone's at!! I know I wondered why it wouldn't load my post lol
Currently have no tests in the hoise! Due to that awful long cycle last time I'm scared to test! However I do feel different this time round and I took from cd 2/6 hoping that made a difference
It's so hard knowing of to wait or test!!

Luna1108 · 10/06/2021 18:17

@lastbany I tested yesterday. Going to try and test again tomorrow but I can’t imagine it’s anything other than just delayed because of the progesterone. I always try and wait until 12dpo and usually cave at 10 lol.

lastbany · 10/06/2021 19:45

@Luna1108 I know it's so so hard I don't keep them in here typically for this reason!!!I think I'm better 11/13 days po
I feel like I would feel something! It's like I used to know because of how much weeing I do! But I've been like tht for past 12 months when af is near! But this time I don't feel like I'm weeing much I don't know it's strange

Hey everyone! I couldn’t post on old one so glad to see this back up and running. Thanks @lastbany

How’s everyone doing? Where are ye at? Im on my last cycle #4 of clomid. I took my last tablet last night. Started taking extra vitamin D as read about it helping with low AMH. I’m not sure my AMH but getting it checked this month..I’m 37 so maybe is an issue.. beyond frustrated thought a cycle two of clomid and magic wand would be waved…

lastbany · 11/06/2021 09:16

@Shelleybe also 37! I'm about 12/14 days PO I feel twinges this morning but now nothing! Darent test x

Shelleybe · 11/06/2021 09:35

Aww @lastbany everything crossed for you. I know that feeling I didn’t test last cycle but ya would really want to at same time x

lastbany · 11/06/2021 09:37

@Shelleybe I know I'm nipping pound shop later so might pick some cheap things up! Not that they would show anyway 😂😂

Oh hey all - hope it’s okay to join in!

I am despairing on my second go with Clomid (had DS on first attempt on 50mg three years ago)... now just finished second round of 100mg, 16dpo and nothing. No AF, no BFP... aaaaarrrgh!

lastbany · 11/06/2021 15:17

@adarkhorse hi there it's my second round of clomid 50mg first time round I had a 66day cycle!! Any how this time I took different days so I'm hoping works better!! Conceived my other three so easy so this is a nightmare

OP posts:
Luna1108 · 11/06/2021 17:36

@Shelleybe welcome back!

I’m 16dpo and nothing. BFN this morning and no sign of anything. Just want to get on with it 🙄

Started taking DHEA too, so dunno if tff had it’s connected but assuming it’s just the progesterone. Sooooo frustrating. Hope I don’t get to 66 days @lastbany!!

adarkhorse · 11/06/2021 20:48

@lastbany - 66days? Are you sure you ovulated? In general I have 40 day cycles, but never ever seem to ovulate :(

@Luna1108 - you and me both - exactly the same here! So frustrating. I just worry the Clomid didn’t work this time round...

Luna1108 · 11/06/2021 22:13

@adarkhorse it’s just annoying knowing it’s not a bfp so it’s not like I’m hoping or anything. I just want to move on from this month!

What dosage of clo are you taking? Are you being monitored?

lastbany · 11/06/2021 22:33

@adarkhorse I think I skipped a cycle I was ment to take clomid from day 5 I messed up (long story ) and took from day 6/7 I believe it really messed with my cycle! My usual cycles are 28/30 days
This time I took from cd2 I believe I ovulated around cd12/14 this time I didn't track as trying the less stress and just regular dtd
But going on cm was around 12/14
So I'm around 12/14 days po now! Due af in 2 days but not tested yet x

Just done a cheapo bfn so annoying

OP posts:
adarkhorse · 12/06/2021 12:02

:( sorry, bfn just sucks and nothing else… did a cheapo too this morning and it’s of course negative. I mean I wasn’t expecting anything, had zero symptoms…

I am taking 100 now. Only day 21 blood test in first cycle, which showed I ovulated. Now second cycle, but nothing. Will try another one and then back to docs (that is if I ever get an appointment).

It’s so frustrating, I got pregnant on one round of 50 last time round 🤦🏽‍♀️

J90A · 14/06/2021 15:32

Hello, I started progesterone last week take my last tablets tomorrow. Then starting clomid! This is my first round of any treatment. How long after progesterone does a period usually start? Trying not to get my hopes up! I've got PCOS had one period this year in feb!

lastbany · 14/06/2021 17:16

My god started with cystitis this morning then went and though I had started af but it was from my wee!!! Nearly died! So still no af (checked several times) now on antibiotics no idea what's caused this as haven't dtd for few days!!!

OP posts:
Luna1108 · 14/06/2021 17:47

@J90A I finished progesterone a week ago and still nothing, it’s stressing me out! I called my clinic to ask but they’ll not get back to me until tomorrow now because I called after 5. I’m hoping they can shed some light on what’s ‘normal’.

@lastbany how strange! Cystitis is the worst. Have you tested again?

lastbany · 14/06/2021 18:02

@Luna1108 I haven't no just tht cheapo other day wnat to catch first morning urine but keep forgetting! I just feel will be bfn so not in rush to test!!!

OP posts:
lastbany · 16/06/2021 17:17

Any updates cx

OP posts:
Luna1108 · 16/06/2021 17:47

@lastbany af finally arrived today, first time I’ve ever been happy for her arrival!

So back to clomid tomorrow and just got to hope... again.

Anything for you?

lastbany · 16/06/2021 20:46

@Luna1108 ah god! I'm 3 days late!! Not tested again I really don't think I'm pregnant! I'm so tired but I think it's the heat! I'm currently have a raging water infection also!!

OP posts:
Luna1108 · 16/06/2021 21:15

@lastbany ahhh can’t believe you’re not testing!! I wouldn’t be able to help myself.
