Clomid buddy needed or just advice?

[sarahlou7]

I'm definitely no expert either! Inside I'm hoping it could be twins but I'm still super nervous about getting excited at all!

Hope things become clearer soon Kay and keep me updated! Xx

 

[mrsablett]

That’s great news, Sarah. Will you test again to see when the weeks progress?

BFN here this morning. I had a little brown blood/discharge yesterday and some cramping. I am clueless as to DPO, so still testing till AF.

Kay, maybe the raised temp is due to ovulating again. Not conceiving but ovulating will raise it for a week or so I believe?

 

[Kay1313]

I very much doubt it mrsablett I’m still in limbo

Although did have some spotting today!! FINALLY!!!

Hopefully this turns into af then I can get on to the next round which I’m excited for!!

Sorry about your bfn! I’ve had a second hcg test today at the epu so hopefully will shed some light on what’s happening!! I also had another bfn on hpt.

Dw Sarah we are coming to join you next month lol

 

[sarahlou7]

When do you get the results from the second hcg test Kay?

Thanks mrsablett, good luck with the testing, I've got my fingers crossed for both of you.

I'm probably going to end up testing again just so I feel like I'm doing something, will go mad otherwise. Just want to get through the next few weeks as quickly as possible!

Xx

 

[Kay1313]

Aww sarahlou just enjoy it lol I know it’s all very nerve wrecking but you’ve done the hard part!!
I’d prob still be the same! Infact I was hence why I had all those hcg tests and that was just because I had a faint bfp lol

So today AF started... very lightly which is odd! I was expecting a war zone lol tmi
Hcg yesterday was 5.2 so looks like a cp for sure..

I don’t know if I’m supposed to start clomid again this cycle?? Or wait?? Don’t know why I even asked that obviously I’ll be doing round 2 starting tomorrow night lol here I go back to a hell with a stressful 2ww and even more stressful symptom party lol xxx

How are you getting on mrsablett?? Xx

 

[mrsablett]

More BFNs here. AF needs to show up. I’m going to start the Tamoxifen.

Well done for keeping positive, Kay.

How you feeling, Sarah?

 

[sarahlou7]

I definitely would start it again as soon as you think its day 2 Kay (are you going to take it days 2-6 again?) I did wonder about when I would need to start it again when I was in my first cycle though as it said you shouldn't take it within 30 days, but I definitely wouldn't have managed to wait for a cycle without it!

Keep going mrsablett, I hope you get some answers one way or the other soon - how are you feeling?

I think I'm going to have to stop temping as I think its making me too anxious- I wake up feeling nervous every day. But then it reassures me when its still high. Today it had dipped a bit though and I just felt worried all morning. Just want to enjoy this argh! And im definitely not complaining because I'm really excited and happy. What a mess i am! X

 

[sarahlou7]

Did you manage to find out any more info about the tamoxifen mrsablett?

 

[Kay1313]

Tomorrow will be cd2! Here goes again!!

I’m actually excited this time round! Since now I know it can work!! Wooo hooo!!! I almost feel like throwing my knickers in the air and doing a naked tribal dance! Lol OH thinks I should be having a complete meltdown after the experience but is obviously happy I’m not! I’m just so excited for round 2! so to Answer your question I’m doing okay!

I wish I had this enthusiasm the first time round haha!!

How are you feeling more importantly?? Anything I need to know as your clomid buddy that you left behind haha! I’m joking I’m so happy for you!! I’d deff stop temping tho, it’s added stress that you don’t need... as long as you feel ok who cares what your temp is? Your hcg is going up nicely because obviously you had the digi cb which said 2-3 weeks your doing great!!

When you start throwing up and feel exhausted 24/7 your be wishing you was back at this stage waiting to have your first scan with hardly any symptoms xxx

 

[Kay1313]

Mrsablett are your cycles usually unpredictable??

Maybe you should start preparing for the next cycle... this time we are both going to get A

 

[mrsablett]

Another BFN. Cycles aren’t unpredictable, no. But they are long, 40days. They were 30days before last miscarriage. And they usually last a few days. I have so many symptoms that I really recognise but trying to ignore them and think about it all less.

If by any chance that 24hr, day 21 bleed was AF, I need to start DTD. Got lazy whilst waiting for a BFP but the point is you never know with this PCOS business. Frustrated and disheartened at the moment. Trying to get my head in to gear to start swimming again. Got lazy with that too. Excercise and weight loss really help me OV.

Defo step back from the thermometer, Sarah. Relax and enjoy it as much as you possibly can.

Happy Clomid Day, Kay. Did you suffer much with it on the first cycle?

 

[Kay1313]

Ahh god my first round on clomid was hell lol I was saying to Sarah that my nipples felt like they was burning from ov right up until 5 days before AF was due then they was just sore but not as sore... maybe that was conception thinking back.. obviously not implantation as would of been too early... also gas and bloating was ridiculous! Lol I had ovary pain around ov which made dtd a nightmare oh wasn’t impressive lol it was funny thinking back I must have jumped all over the bed, and as far away from him as possible I don’t actually know how I managed to get a bfp lol

Whilst Sarah had a wonderful experience on it lol

Maybe it was just a light AF mrsablett, I hardly ever get those too. But I’ve had 1 or 2 very light cycles in my time which was short lived, infact last month starting clomid was only 2 days, I put it down to the clomid... Are you on metformin for pcos? It apparently makes a lot of peoples af shorter? - I’m on it but only to assist with ov, af is very regular 26days.

Have you done any opk’s? Ahh god I feel so sorry for you!! I’d be going crazy if I didn’t know where in my cycle I was...

I also lost 3 stone last year... (I’ve only ever been just above my BMi) and it didn’t help me ov at all... infact I was exercising with a pt 4 hours a week and lost inches from everywhere! I was tiny! But still didn’t ov.... so I ended up eating crap and putting it back on again... well 2 Stone out of the 3... it also never affected my af... so don’t rely 100% on weight loss to ov.... my friends sister is severely ov and very pcos and has 5 children! Her last one wa born when she turned 40.... - maybe she is one of the lucky ones!! But it gives me hope xx

 

[mrsablett]

Oh I know full well that losing weight makes me OV. Works every time. Still struggle to actually eat well, even though I know it works. Silly of me. Very.

 

[sarahlou7]

Happy clomid day Kay - hope you have less in the way of clomid side effects this month-hard to know what was down to conception and what was down to the clomid.

I was more surprised than anyone about my lack of clomid symptoms! The main thing was cramping on both sides around o time. I definitely had a much stronger o on clomid than usual though, going by my bbt.

Mrsablett I've also had some very light cycles of max two days, so maybe it was AF. Its good in a way if it was as it means youre further through your next cycle than you thought you were. Obvs it would be lovely if you still did get a bfp now though xx

 

[Kay1313]

Thanks
I don’t know what’s worse having loads of symptoms so you know something is happening or having none so you don’t have a clue lol I’lol get I’ll find out what this month holds for me!! First tablet last night and already it feels so hot everywhere I go! Lol not like flushes I’m just genuinely hotter than usual! I’m testing on 17th March... BUT that being said... now I’m super excited that I know clomid works I wouldn’t be surprised if I started testing straight after my temp dip on my bbt which I’m also doing

Good luck mrsablett for this month!!

 

[sarahlou7]

Hope you're both getting on OK

Today is first day of not temping! On the clomid the follicular phase of my bbt chart was very rocky. Thought it might help to post it.

 

[sarahlou7]

I mean that I stopped the temping today to try and help with my anxiety. I am totally addicted to the thermometer

 

[Kay1313]

That chart looks beautiful it’s perfect infact so stop worrying about your temp woman lol just enjoy it!! Although I know exactly what you mean about being addicted to bbt! That’s why I had to stop temping!!

My chart looks a bit boring atm, obviously only had 4 temps on it but it’s just like a slope downwards lol
I’m only interested in the implantation spike and I’ll be testing the very next day!!! So be prepared to be bombarded with pics of my chart until I have a stick to wave at you both with a bfp on haha!!

How are you feeling anyway? Any more symptoms? Or are you sailing through the pregnancy like you did the clomid lol xx

 

[sarahlou7]

How are you getting on today? Still feeling really hot? I had no ovulation temp dip and no implantation dip either on mine, although I'm not sure I've ever had an ovulation dip - not sure why!

Bombard away! Looking forward to seeing them!

I'm OK thank you - still have bad wind, that seems to be main symptom - the air gets quite uncomfortable! Still lots of.cm and I'm very tired but wake up in the middle of the night every night! Not going to loo more but I feel like its urgent when I do go as its uncomfortable and I'm thirsty a lot! That's the complete symptoms run down for today lol! Xx

 

[sarahlou7]

Oh and sore nipples still - how could I forget about them...
