@Elakiya yes there are expensive thats the only thing. I'm not sure what the amount is but Im sure any brand would do!!

Ok thanks with me not ovualting I was getting test lines randomly but never as dark as the control this is my first time on Clomid so I will give it a try!! thank you :)

Elakiya · 24/06/2021 15:42

@J90A I think and someone else can correct me, that the people who OPK’s don’t work for usually just keep getting peaks? Unsure though but give it a try what’s the harm (just keep doing SMEP incase the opk doesn’t pick up the ovulation😁).

J90A · 24/06/2021 15:47

@lastbany fingers crossed for you! the myo-insitol is a supplement you can get online.
my friend gave up 'trying' and 2 months later she found out she was pregnant after 4 years of TTC. So don't loose hope! x

Luna1108 · 24/06/2021 15:54

@J90A af came 8 days late but at least it finally arrived!

I’m CD9 now, so heading into bd time! Starting taking some new supplements last month so hoping they’ll start taking effect.

Please can I join

I just started threads re clomid and other supplements the saw this and thought would ask on her.

We are going on to 2nd cycle of Clomid but just wondered that other supplements People take, currently taking conceive plus, magnesium and maca just wondered if any thing else could help?

Thanks

Luna1108 · 24/06/2021 21:25

@lastbany @Luna1108 what days is best? Cd10 onwards? I’m cd6

Has anyone has side effects taking clomid? I’m feels so ill tonight. Feeling sick.

Luna1108 · 25/06/2021 06:58

@lastbany ha no way! Amazing if it happened for us both at the same time! How you feeling not taking clomid anymore?

@J90A do you mean for bd? Do you track using OPKs or BBT? My app told me this morning that from today (cd10) that I’ve entered my ‘window’.

@Shelleybe how are you?

@chloedancer897 @lovelly seeing if we can get you back in the thread! How are you?

J90A · 25/06/2021 08:32

@Luna1108 I’ve not managed to Trak properly due to my pcos it’s been all over the place. This is my first cycle of clomid and my Trakera predicting anything just now. I’ve found a clomid tracker so will just go to that and get some ov tests for this month! Took my last clomid today thank god hoeing the side effects go away I’m struggling the last couple days. X

Shelleybe · 25/06/2021 12:07

@Luna1108 how are you? I’m sorry been bit MIA. I’m on the TWW… one more week to go. No symptoms what so ever. Got my bloods done and got result today of 111. Feel bit meh as this is my last round. How’s all with you? Have my HSG week after next if period comes…

Hey to everyone new here. Hope we see some BFPs soon. I’m on my fourth cycle. Had cramps and tiredness etc first few rounds but this round wasn’t too bad. Not tracking follicles but for bloods taken. Have unexplained fertility and regular periods so just bit limboish

lastbany · 25/06/2021 16:07

@Luna1108 tbh I feel fine! It's sort of if it happens it happens if not I'm so happy with my family ! Would love to have another close to my baby age but hey ho life decides doesn't it! Feel more relaxed about every i g and at least no hormones! Well just my own 😂😂😂

Luna1108 · 25/06/2021 20:36

@Shelleybe I’m ok. CD10 so heading into the bd window! I’m feeling so disillusioned with this to be honest. I feel like if it hasn’t happened already, it probably won’t. Just so desperate to start a family 😢

@lastbany hey you know they love to say “relax and it’ll happen” ... maybe that’ll be you!

Shelleybe · 26/06/2021 13:17

Aw I so get it @Luna1108 I feel like fourth cycle is hardly going to happen now… I know should try be more positive but like … plus I have less than a week till AF and zero symptoms. Are you doing the opks or just going go for it and see

@lastbany Maybe pressure off might happen… hopefully

Would love to see some BFPs it would give me so much more hope..

Elakiya · 26/06/2021 19:32

@Shelleybe someone I worked with fell pregnant on her last cycle of clomid so don’t give up hope. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Shelleybe · 26/06/2021 20:24

Aw thanks @Elakiya how are you doing? I wish I had some random symptoms 🙈🙈

lastbany · 26/06/2021 21:44

Let's hope! Coming ipto fertile time Lol

Elakiya · 27/06/2021 07:26

@Shelleybe if it makes you feel any better no one I actually know in real life ever had symptoms in the 2ww. It only kicked in after 6/7 weeks. So no symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean not pregnant.

I’m good. Still not got a peak on my OPK so just waiting for that. Trying to buy myself some inositol because @J90A said it was good. Need to see if I can find anything cheap but at the same dosage.

Luna1108 · 27/06/2021 12:27

Think my peak will be today? It’s normally CD12 (which is today) but it’s also normally truly positive by this point, like there’s no doubt.

These still negative but barely so assuming it’ll be this evening? Annoyed that the clear blue came up negative!

lastbany · 27/06/2021 12:47

@Luna1108 to two look positive to me strange with clear blue

OP posts:
Luna1108 · 27/06/2021 12:58

@lastbany the 12pm one is like 95% of the way there. It’s eeeever so slightly lighter. I think my next one will be positive.

Shelleybe · 27/06/2021 13:14

@Luna1108 my Clearblue went straight peak with no high surge this month. You know with 4 most fertile days. I normally get two days high then peak so maybe same for you. I’m always 12 days too…

Luna1108 · 27/06/2021 13:22

This was last month. My positives are usually positive.

The clear blue isn’t the one that blinks first, it’s the normal one that only shows either blank fave or smiley face, don’t know if that makes a difference. I’m sure it’ll be positive this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

The only thing is I’ve had loads of ewcm (sorry tmi). I actually don’t normally have much, so this is a new development for me! Since I started taking the DHEA I think.

Clomid journey thread 2!
Elakiya · 27/06/2021 14:38

@Luna1108 your first set of opks look like mine 1 or 2 days before peak. You’ll peak soon I reckon.

lastbany · 27/06/2021 23:36

@Luna1108 did you retest? Also my cm has been up today cd11 so probably around right we have dtd last 4 days and intend to try for next 7 (god help me!)

@Shelleybe do you do at same time of day? Only reason I ask is they state yu don't have to and I messed up I think last time I used (while ago ) but first one I used afternoon wee just because that's when I bought them then next day used first morning catch! And got high fertiliry! Got that for like 8 days!! Never peaked and I ran out lol I think does make a difference time of day x
