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 😢

Yeah all good here. I had an ultra coz of the pains I had. And I have a bruised ovary or blood filled cyst something like that. But it can happen they said. Interestingly the pain was on the left side but I ovulated and the cyst is on the right side. They took my bloods and confirmed ov so I'm happy with that although I don't think ive got pregnant but I'm glad it worked. I'm going to test on Monday with an early dection coz I'm so impatient lol. Xx

Ooh it’s exciting people getting close to testing - hope those sticks don’t call to you too soon!! I hate the temptation 🤣 @lastbany it’s such a mix of emotions for you I’m sure! Maybe knowing would let you know what your dealing with I guess! Must be hard being torn between wanting a positive but knowing the additional complexities that would give you. If it helps, all three times I’ve been pregnant I’ve been convinced I was about to get my period so your body totally plays a curve ball at you!

I’m 10dpo today and trying desperately not to test. I’m on progesterone so I can’t tell if af is coming because my body hasn’t got a clue either, it’s so annoying! On a normal month I could use my temperatures and other signs to prepare myself for af but not these last 2 months.

I’ve only got 1 more round left if this one doesn’t work 😔 plus I’m dreading the baby shower tomorrow and next week. Such crap timing.

@J90A that sounds painful hope you’re ok! Glad they could confirm ovulation for you too. Did they just say the cyst would go away on it’s own?

Oh hey all - I am back!

Not much to report here - CD15. Last round of Clomid. But I have my first private appt next week and I will push for more or Letrozole, so hopefully another few rounds after (although I am confident for this one ).

@lastbany - big hugs! That all sounds so difficult on top of the whole Clomid saga.

Everyone else - these are all good signs, right? Apart from the cyst, although I had that too before and it just vanished. Seems like Clomid is working for you (in principle). I think we will see a positive test soon!

Oh and @J90A - I can’t believe you got a puppy! That’s surely a sign that you will get pregnant soon too - always happens that way :)

@Luna1108 aw good luck tomorrow. Awaiting results radiographer wanted to show consultant one side on Monday so will know more then but she thought things were ok and any blockages sorted one side was easier than other.

I’m CD11 so we are DTD but not doing opks as basically same every month so just going for it. Cycle 5 and one more cycle. I’m not sure at cycle 5 if there still is even a chance.

@ItsAlice so we are at similar times in cycle… good to have a buddy for TWW

@lastbany how ya feeling?

@J90A excited for you to test!!

Come on BABY DUST!!!

@adarkhorse ah how are you. you are only few days ahead of me in cycle. What’s diff with letrozole

Caved and tested. BFN.

Don’t know why I’m surprised!

@Luna1108 how many days are you? God honestly I'm useless! Had a wee this morning totally forgot to test 😂😂 so will have to wait another day! Been having twinges and cramps on and off nd I am shattered!
We had another visit from my friendly local police last night again! Because once again my ex was been awful!! I'm so over it all feel to end my teather!

Cyst will just go away they said. It's been too bad not just a slight cramping. This Is TMI lol but I get sore/sensitive nipples the week before I get a period. I had it the other day I've read that if your pregnant it continues but today I don't have it anymore so I don't think I'm pregnant!

@lastbany aw not so good about the police. Can you not do a test during the day ?

@Luna1108 what cycle date are you? Sorry to hear that. Xx

@J90A my test isn't a frer it's just a cheap three days early test so I don't think would be very accurate I really don't wanna buy anynore!
So trying to hold off I am cd23 today af due in 5 days

@lastbany ah I see! I will do the same pretty certain it's gona be BFN so not going to waste money. Xx

I think I must have wasted at least 6 tests last month when my period was late not this month! I will just wait. Maybe

@Shelleybe - Letrozole is just another ovulation induction medicine, but has good evidence for PCOS. That’s obviously just in case all my Clomid cycles fail - which of course they won’t…

I’m 10 or 11dpo depending on which app you look at so a BFN on an FRER is a definite out isn’t it. I’m crushed.

@Luna1108 with my last baby I used a frear only 2 days before AF and only got the faintest line a real squinter the next day was still faint but deffo there ! So they not always detect that early! I think I must show later lol with my daughter (first) 18 years ago I didn't test positive till 11 weeks! SO strange lol

@Luna1108 I think that 10dpo could be still early even with FRER and that not everyone will maybe get the rise yet so don’t give up hope yet

So I remembered and used my last test! Sat it in a pot of pee for 10 seconds and nothing progressed?! The urine didn't go into the tab?! Wtf

@lastbany ah feck that’s annoying. I’ve had some faulty Clearblue tests and also on opks!

@Luna1108 good luck today with baby shower… hope you are ok x

Hey everyone, just trying to catch up on everything on here. I'm on CD 16 and still no serge. I'm using clear advance ovulation test and I'm just getting low fertility! I took
Clomid on cd2-6. Has anyone ovulated later?

Started bleeding tonight! 4 days early but hey Ho

I caved and done an early test tonight BFN I'm still a day too early for the 6 day before. A missed before but I'm not holiday out any hope. Xx

Another bfn today so definitely out and stopped taking my progesterone from last night. Last time af took a week so hopefully will be the same or less.

@lastbany I’m sorry af arrived for you, I hope you’re doing ok and you’ve managed to rest a little this week.

@J90A still lots of time, give it a couple of days (although I know how impossible that feels!)

Sorry to hear about the bfns. So so frustrating. I don’t think this will be our month as I think I missed ovulation because of what’s happened since Friday.

So Friday I had my last tracking scan and was great told I should ovulate within the next 24hrs and had a 9.7mm lining and 24mm follicle, had sex all good. Then what I thought was possible gallstones (which I’ve been waiting on a referral for for months) kicked off. Was meant to be on my first big night out since lockdown on Saturday (had a babysitter sorted the lot) but ended up in A&E. basically I do have gallstones and have an infection in my liver and gallbladder as a result, I’ve got jaundice so look like I’ve been rolling in turmeric! Watching the football last night on hospital telly in a ward full of old ladies was odd. Anyway I’m still stuck here now waiting to find out if they are going to do more tests, take it out or send me home. I desperately want them to remove it as it is absolute agony when it flares up and I can’t cope with it at home without the strong painkillers they give you here. Hmm. Anyway that’s why I’ve been a bit quiet! Have had so many drugs etc and missed the second of our two BD days plus know I was ovulating from the side without a tube so am fairly certain it won’t happen for us this month which is annoying!

@ItsAlice ah no how terrible! I work on a surgical ward and see this quite often?! Do they know your ttc just obviously if theirs the tiniest change your preg will change their treatment plan x I would al them to do a blood test to rule out even the smallest change
I know that's prob last thing in our mind with having obstructive jaundice and I've had gall stones and can relate it's agony! They removed my gallbladder after second attack so was lucky!!
Well so I had the smallest bleed yesterday really was just b blood on toilet roll when I wiped! And now nothing ivernight! Although a feel so bloated like I'm gonna explode!

Thanks for the tip @lastbany - I did mention it to them so they know but as I’m only CD 15 they weren’t worried about it! Any top tips on how to persuade them to remove it much appreciated! I’ve had attacks for 6 months off and on but this past week had had three including this one which lasted 2 days and they think is that choleocystitis (sp). Who knows!! I just want it out and done with as I can’t bear the thought of another couple of months of this. I know I’d be back in and out of a&e with it for pain relief as it’s so unbearable!
