Staci Tx - November 2

Hey girls! As for the preseed question, I don't have a pharmacy that is real close that carries it so I just ordered mine online. Here is the link to finding whether one is close to you
http://www.ingfertility.com/providers.html I live in Texas. I will start putting the Tx beside my name because I see I am not the only one with that name in here. I am on cd 6 and I just finished my last pill yesterday. I started on cd 1. I had read that there is some preliminary research that indicates that an earlier start date may result in more pregnancies, but most gynecologists continue to prescribe it for days 5-9. One recent study actually tried prescribing Clomid on cycle days 1-5. While none of the participants in their day 5-9 group resulted in pregnancy, 24 percent of the women who took Clomid on days 1-5 were able to conceive. So I thought what the heck. I am not being monitored unfortunately. I was told just to give it a shot and see if it worked. I hope you all have good nights!

I was just checking to see if any of you have ovulated and to bump us up to the top of the thread. I wish you all the best. I am going to start OPK's tomorrow.

good morning ladies! i think i Od!!! my temp went way up this morning!here's my chart if you want to take a look: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6e094 i sure hope it stays up now and its not a fluke! i'm sure its not... i'm so excited! i wonder why i didnt get a + opk though??? i'll try again today and see what they say otherwise i'm going to say they just dont work for me or clomid is screwing them up. how is everyone else doing today???

 

Lynn - November 4

Hi everyone! Well yesterday was a temp dip for me and it went up .2 degrees this morning. I did bd last night so I bet I ovulated yesterday cause I had mild cramping also! Anyway, I guess its wait and see time now! (still bd just in case) :)

 

krista - November 5

hi lynn, yeah we o'd!!! i'm so excited! did you have any ewcm??? i didnt but it was a little watery. i'm thinking clomid has a lot to do with drying you out. i never get ewcm anyways so i guess i'm not too shocked i didnt get it this time with clomid. i had mild cramping yesterday and still a little bit today too. i had a sharp pain on my right side yesterday but that's gone today... dont know if that was O pains or not. that's hard to judge since there are so many moving parts down there that it could really be anything giving you a pain i think. maybe i'm wrong but thats what i tell myself so i dont get my hopes up.

 

Lynn - November 5

Hi Krista! I usually dont have alot of ewcm but being that I was taking clomid I started doing robitussin 3 times a day and using preseed when bd...gotta give em something to swim in!!!! Today I had a little cramping but nothing bad. So we went ahead and bd tonight just in case :) keep us posted ...maybe we will both get BFPs right before thanksiving!!!!

Hey girls! Well no +Opk test but I did have a line. Just not as dark. Do y'all always get a line when you take them, just not as dark as the reference. This is my 5th day since taking my last pill. I read you ovulate anywhere from day 5-9 after your last pill. What day did y'all ovulate on? I sure hope I ovulate before or on day 9 because my hubby has to go out of town Wed. afternoon. I hope you are all having good weekends! And good luck!

 

krista - November 5

well my temp went down a little bit this morning but its still not as low as my previous ones so i think i might be ok and still have O'd. i sure hope anyways!!! i was so scared i almost started to cry. my hubby kept reassuring me that he was sure i o'd by the cm i had the couple times we bd'd. i hope he's right. how is everyone doing???

 

krista - November 5

staci, i usually get a line when i take opks but not always. it depends on what time of day i take the tests. if i take them later at night then i dont normally get a line. i have yet to even take an opk at the right time of day which is late morning early afternoon. staci keep a close watch on your cm. i had to actually go up there and scoop some out to see if it was stretchy or not some days because i was more dry. i did get water cm though a couple days last week and that was when i had my temp shift.

Thanks krista! I have been getting more watery cm so hopefully that is a good sign. I will keep you all posted! Thanks for your help and support everyone!
