Clomid journey thread 2!

[lastbany]

So I thought I would start a new thread as we reached 1k comments so can't post!!! @chloedancer897 @Luna1108 sorry will try tag others !
anyway my app says af in 4 days I'm so emotional today! Over thinking even thinking is it right for my and partner to go forward together! I know I could test but I'm just not mentally prepared too 😢

I'm CD44 had 3 days raised so think I ovulated wed/thurs xx

@Marvellouslymadmum sorry just seen this how did you get on? I had my scan yesterday and gave a 23mm follicle so assumed I was ovulate yesterday but my temperature is the same this morning. Xx

@J90A it can sometimes take a couple of days after peak to ovulate so it may happen this evening or tomorrow morning.
I had my bloods taken but my progesterone was only 8.2 so think it was slightly later than I thought maybe Thursday/Friday but temps did stay up so definitely ovulated my guess is it was a weak one as it took so long! Im cd54 now, expecting af in the next few day. The secretary said I have to do another round but if that goes the same they'll probably up be to 100 or 150mg xx

@Marvellouslymadmum The clinic couldn't tell me my LH as the bloods didn't come back. But my opk looks close to positive now. Had a lot of pains going on today. I was to try bd everyday if we can 😂 once you've ovulated is the never morning raised Bbt? This is the first I've done this. That's good you ovulated! Yeah I had the same I had to have 2 failed on 50mg before they upped me. Fingers crossed af doesn't show for you 🤞 xx

Hi ladies! Sorry for the radio silence, I have been struggling a bit recently. I'm currently CD3 on my 4th cycle of Clomid.

My 3rd cycle was another failure but I'm pretty sure I ovulated and we DTD plenty. I had a 15 day LP again which really messed with my mind especially after the tugging and pulling sensations I had at 12DPO 😣.

Onwards and upwards! I'm going to stick to 25mg days 2-7 this cycle but I might experiment next time.

@J90A a 23mm follicle sounds great! You might ovulate today instead and get a temp increase tomorrow or the day after even 😊

@marvellouslymadmum have you tested yet?

@J90A your temp should go up a day or two after you ovulate and stay there or if you're pg it can keep rising. I think It's just a weak ovulation so very little chance for me, just want to get on with the next cycle now seen as that one has taken so long! Xx

@Kay00 you never know, changing it up could help!
I tested on Friday which was of course a bfn (I don't usually bother testing unless I'm late)

I have just read my last post and some of it doesn't even make sense lol. I should pre read before I post. Lol. Thanks for interpreting that 😂 I've been so hot during the night and all morning to the point I thought I had left the heating on through the night! My temperature was still the same at 36.4 this morning. I'm wondering if this is because I've ovulated but the temps not showing yet? I'm praying it's not Covid again! 😂.

@Kay00 I'm sorry your struggling it's so hard isn't it? Have you been offered any counselling? I cried when the lady doing my bloods asked how I was and referred me to counselling. I don't know why but I thought it was only for IVF but it's not.

@Marvellouslymadmum yeah waiting on af is torture isn't it. How many DPO are you? Xx

@J90A Thanks, yes I am considering counselling. My OH is useless at the soft support... the last time I had a BFN he just rolled his eyes , so I feel like I'm just dealing with this on my own.

I have decided that if/when we start IVF I am going to tell my mum, sister and closest friends about out TTC struggles and the pending IVF, as I need more support than an eye roll!

@Marvellouslymadmum I'm sorry about the BFN this is so hard isn't it?

@J90A Ah yes, that could have been you ovulating last night then, hopefully your temp will start to increase by tomorrow morning

@J90A I worked it out lol, I wake up roasting sometimes and my temp doesn't show it but it's just surface temp. I think I'm about 12dpo now so should be around the weekend.

@Kay00 to be honest it didn't really phase me, I don't even bother testing anymore most months as I never expect anything but a blank space 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Kay00 yeah you should that's not good. I started telling a few people now when I seen on this morning sharon talking about fertility www.itv.com/thismorning/articles/national-fertility-week-sharon-marshall-shares-her-ivf-battle

Try watching this. @Marvellouslymadmum fingers crossed it doesn't show.

My temperature is still the same this morning now I'm wondering if the follicle is actually another cyst the waiting is driving me crazy not getting bloods done until Monday. Xx

@J90A I'll have a watch, af is still not here thought it should've been by Saturday but no nothing and did another test just incase - bfn as expected 🤷🏼‍♀️ af has gone on strike it seems

@Marvellouslymadmum oh! No sign is good !! How many days DPO are you? I had my scan and bloods on Friday and I have ovulated. At some point between Monday and Friday. My Sister in law had her baby yesterday and I've been in a bad mood ever since which I feel terrible for but I'm so jealous. 🤦‍♀️. I don't know if it's that or the change in my hormones since ovulating! Xx

@J90A no sign is definitely not good unfortunately, I think I'm around 18/19dpo usually have a 15 ish day Lp though but my ovulation was so messed up it could've been later than I thought. I'm cd60 and so fed up with it all. Everyone gets upset with others having their babies I wouldn't be too hard on yourself xx

@Marvellouslymadmum aw no how come it's not a good sign? Fingers crossed it doesn't show! Xx

@J90A because I'm definitely not pg, I've taken two tests and they're both bfn it wasn't likely after almost 4 years of ttc I'm not expecting anything to work at this stage

@Marvellouslymadmum you've maybe ovulated later than you thought. If you've ovulated you will defo get a period a literal phase of 17 is still considered normal. This is the most at part isn't it ? I'm 5dpo ish and it's killing me already. I'm not holding out any hope tho. X

@Marvellouslymadmum re writing as it doesn't make sense again 🤦‍♀️

@Marvellouslymadmum you've maybe ovulated later than you thought. If you've ovulated you will defo get a period a luteal phase of 17 is still considered normal. This is the most stressful part isn't it ? I'm 5dpo ish and it's killing me already. I'm not holding out any hope tho. X

@J90A well yesterday I had a tiny bit when I wiped them today same again but a little more, no full flow though, it's very weird! I must've ovulated before 7th as Rhys when I had my last blood test and although it was only 8 I'm pretty sure I still actually ovulated! And now I don't know when to start my clomid 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Marvellouslymadmum I had that for a few days last month I waited until I had to use a tampon and counted that as day one. I'm struggling with the 2ww this month but I've got a feeling it's 100% gona be a bfn. Feel the same as last month in terms of symptoms can't wait till it's over!! Cx

AF arrived today. So fed of this journey!! Xx

@J90A how are you getting on? I'm cd15 STILL getting a little old stuff when I wipe and no peak opk yet

@Marvellouslymadmum

Hey how you getting on. I'm on CD 5. On day 3 of clomid. I'm now certain that the clomid causes me to be anxious and have mood swings. I've been feeling great until today.

How you get on with last cycle? When did you ovulate?

I'm not going to trak BBT once I confirm ovulation if I do and try my hardest not to take any tests this month. I was the most stressed yet last month and I think it's coz all my focus was on it. (Obv the time of year didn't help) I have enough tablet for this time and next and not sure if I will get any more after that.

Xx

@J90A I don't even know if I did ovulate, I think it was around 6th December if I did but it wasn't strong at all. I'm just going to do the day 21 on day 21 and hope they up my dose for the next cycle xx

@Marvellouslymadmum good idea. Fingers crossed for you!! Xx

@J90A I have no hopes for this month but I've a consultant call on 24th so hopefully she will put it up then xx
