You know, I keep getting calls from the doctor's office but each time it's this nurse who knows nothing and she's just wanting to confirm that her notes are accurate in regards to what's going on with me. Then she says she'll have the doc call me that day, and she never does. I'll be persistent, but really I just think it's old blood (gross) from all those months I didn't have a regular cycle. AF is due to be here either today or by Monday. Temps are still high but still spotting (now mostly brown). I'll test again in a few if AF still hasn't come, but I'm not too hopeful. At this point I just want AF to get here so we can get to trying again. I'll keep you posted. Good luck with you Shawna, I say start BDing like crazy just in case! And have fun with your remodel! I love that stuff!

Shawna, I did have really really good cm right after the HSG....I had the classic egg white on the day I O'd and everything like its supposed to be. So if you are have "wet", "watery", or "egg white", I would definitley be bding, because all of those are fertile cm, and you are fertile for a few days before you O, just the day you O is the MOST fertile..... Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Well, I started my clomid today hoping that it was close to CD3, though I had no idea if the spotting was the real thing or not, so it was just a stab in the dark. Within a couple hours of taking it... AF arrived! Big time too. I think she's making up for all the months she stayed so quiet! Anyway, so now I am concerned about having taken he Clomid on CD1, but Im at least releived that things are working again (or so it seems.) Hope you all had a great weekend, and I'll check back in tomorrow.

Wow Mel, you were up late last night! I was up really late last night as well. I am suffering from some allergies right now and for the last couple of days, I have been having some really bad stomach cramps, which has made bding quite interesting. So, nothing too exciting going on here. I'm somewhere around cd15, but I'm not really keeping track. I still have lots of cm, so we'll keep going based on that. Well, we have another little holiday planned. We are leaving on Friday for a week in Banff ( a beautiful town located in the Rocky Mountains). Taylor is doing some training there and Alexander and I decided that we needed some R and R before school starts up again at the end of the month. My birthday is on Saturday, so this trip is a really nice birthday present. Do any of you know anything about Vitex? Mel, why did you take the clomid so early? Which days were you supposed to take it on? I have heard of some people taking it on cd1, so I know you are not alone. Is this your first cycle on clomid? OK, I'll end the interogation for now!! Kristi, what's new?? Shauna, are you still with us????

Hi ladies! Well, AF showed today. I have been spotting since last Friday, and she came today. Now a month 150mg Clomid, which I am NOT looking forward too, then off to the RE if no pg. Mel, you will be fine taking your Clomid on cd1, I have heard people taking it on cd 1, cd 3, and cd 4..... I take mine cd 3-7 so I will start mine on Wednesday. Shawna, your trip sounds like fun and Happy Birthday early!! Sorry about the cramping, does it feel like AF cramping or anything? You might give your Dr a call, becuase if you have been cramping this much after your HSG, they might want to see you.....but good luck on the bding! Shauna.....???

Actually Shawna, it was only about 9:00 my time, not that late at all! :) No, this is my 2nd round on Clomid, and I took it early because I knew I was supposed to start on CD3 but since I'd been spotting already for over a week and it was starting to slow down, I thought maybe the spotting was really a light AF. I didn't want to take it too late, so I took it hoping it was close to CD3 without being too late. Turns out AF showed up later that night, so ... WHATEVER... I"m just glad to hear some people do take it on CD1. The doctor has been lagging big time. They STILL haven't talked to me about my spotting despite all my calls last week. Guess it was nothing to worry about in their eyes. Kristi, is the Clomid not making you O? Is that why they increase the dosage? Or do they do that if there's just no BFN at first though you're O'ing? I wonder where Shauna went. It's not like her to stay away for so long and without any warning! We're coming up on two weeks! Well, good luck with the BDing Shawna! And good luck with your 150 mg Kristi! Let's hope this month is our month, huh? Shawna, you first! Ready???? GO!

Mel, I love your enthusiasm! I am really praying for a bfp for all of us, I don't even care who gets one first. Do you live on the west coast? The time it says on this forum is 2 hours ahead for me, I think. It is 2:18 right now, so I guess I will find out after I submit this. My cramps are more like stomach cramps. It feels like I am about to get the scoots, which would really put a damper on our little love fest! Hey, one more quick question! Have any of you noticed since you have been on clomid, you have gained weight? I guess I must have been in denial, but I know I have, probably around 10lbs. This sucks! Sorry AF came Kristi. What day were you on? I thought just the other day you were talking about waiting for ovulation? I really need to pay more attention to all your posts! Sorry!!

Yep. I live in California. North of LA. "The Scoots?" What the hell are the scoots? :) I'm guessing it's also known as "the runs"?? Is it a Canadian thing or what? I even asked my dh and step-dd and neither of them have heard of it either. How funny is that?! As for the weight thing, just this morning I weighed myself - the first time in a long time. I have officially gained back all 15 pounds that I worked so hard to lose before getting pg so I wouldn't have so much to lose after baby. Nice! Oh well. I'd gain twice that if it was my only chance at having a little one! Gladly! Talk to you tomorrow (oh, by the way, it's 6:48 now. we'll check the clock again.)

G'mornin' ladies! Nothing fun and exciting to report over here... Just thought I'd be the first to wish everyone a fabulous day. How are y'all doing today? I'll check back in later.

Hi ladies! The "scoots" is pretty funny, I knew what you were talking about, just never heard that before either...but I am a hick from Kansas, so what do I know... ;-) I was on cd30 when AF showed, I am now on cd2 and I O'd on cd15..... Dont worry Shawna, I always get confused on who is doing what and have to go back read before I post sometimes! Clomid and weight gain....YES, I have gained 20 lbs since last summer and I have been on Clomid for 9 months out of the last 12. And on another forum, I read a bunch of women on Clomid are experiencing the weight gain as well. Mel, I was in CA a couple years ago, my dh spent 5 months in Oxnard at the military base for some training and I flew out and spent some time with him.....its kinda crazy there compared to Kansas!! Mel, the Clomid is making me O, so I guess they just up the dosage if you are not getting pg...I dont really know now that I think about it..... Good question! Well, I will check back later, everyone have a good day!!

Kristi, I'm glad to hear that you are O'ing... that's surprising to me for some reason that they'd keep upping the dosage... Hmmm. So it looks like you and I are still real close in our cycles. Today is CD4 for me. I thought for sure with all that crazy spotting I was having that it was going to throw me into a crazy length cycle one way or the other. Guess I was wrong! So, how did you like California? Have you always lived in Kansas? I'm sure it's WAY different! I'm really wanting to leave the hustle of CA and move to a slower paced place (with CLEAN AIR). Just wish it didn't mean having to leave family behind... especially if grandkids will be given to them soon! Well, I'm gonna be late for work... Talk to you ladies later. BYE!

Good Morning Kristi and Mel! Well my allergies are out of control! I had such a stuffed up nose yesterday it felt like my head was going to explode! My eyes are all puffy this morning and I look like a complete train wreck!! How are you two doing? The scoots is one of many terminologies I picked up while we were living in Australia last year. Otherwise I had never heard of it either. Well, have to run. I'll check in this afternoon!

Hi there ladies...not much going on here today. Kinda bored at work, just waiting for 5:00 to roll around ;-) Mel, it sure looks like we are three now doesnt it? I wonder where Shauna is? I know she posts on some other threads, but I dont know which ones or I would see if she is out there at all.... Maybe I will put out a new thread to see if she is out there..... And Shawna, do you ever wonder what happened to Monica? I put a thread out with her name and telling her where to find us, but I have never seen her back on either.....its been months she had talked to us....

Actually I tried (on the first page) for Shauna and then it started to be more of a pain than I expected so I stopped. I hope she's ok. Well, my doc office FINALLY called me back, but it wasn't even in response to my calls all week last week about the spotting. I had it out with them and I think they're starting to listen. I have an appt coming up in a week and I'll be requesting an HSG and/or ultrasound if I'm still nog preg by then. ANyway, that's all on my end. Talk to you tomorrow!
