thats what me and hubby did to get rid of his old spermies (he thought it was spontaneous sex, i knew it wasnt lol)
we then started bding every other day from cd 10 but we are attempting smep this cycle (thats if my opk EVER goes positive lol)
the john wayne phase....i like it lol
I refer to my clomid as my "honesty pills" wen with hubby as im quite hormonal on them and end up blurting things out to hubby that i shouldnt really say lol

Pink diamond, sorry but your temps do not show ovulation. I have written a long post explaining what to do in your thread in TTC, have a read, get your sef clued up on what you should be looking for and it will all become much easier!

Also, are u using a chart? You need a chart to determine the coverline to ensure your 3 post ov temps truly are higher then the pre ovulation previous 6.

Emma - I am on 50mg, cycle 5. My progesterone was always just above 30 or below so consultant thinks I am ovulating but require a little boost. Its worked so far - proges was in the 80s last cycle!
Also, I'm not to sure about taking EPO and clomid. Did I clear it with your gp/consultant? Even homeopathic/jerbal mediacations can have detrimental effects on other medications. If yoy take the EP for cm, use a sperm friensly lube like preseed or concieve plus instead.

Hi ladies,
Just checking in to see how your doing!
Congrats DW... It's great to see 4 BFPs for the clomid thread now
PD - I chart but I use it as a backup to learn more about my cycles. OPKs are the easiest way of finding out when you ov. The problem with charting is that you get a high temp after you've ov-ed so it's then too late to BD. charting is better for analysis rather than using it to time BD-ing (you're able to start identifying when you're gearing up for ov once you have a few cycles charted, then you can identify regular patterns and fertility friend lets you overlay your charts which is useful). If you decide to stick with charting, the tutorials on fertility friend's website are great. There's also a book called 'taking charge of your fertility' that's very good.
Bella - that's so funny about honesty pills. I thought it was just me... I told hubby when i was on clomid that I couldn't help but tell the truth... I would try and hold back so I didn't upset but it just came spilling out! We used to laugh about it because I literally wouldn't let anything go!
Well I had my operation to remove my fibroids on Tuesday and it was really succesful, yay! My womb is now completely normal and I have a much better chance of sustaining a pregnancy, it's such a massive relief! Feeling very sore still but looking forward to getting back to TTC again as we havent been able to since my m/c in april.
I have 2 rounds of clomid left so I'm thinking of trying 1 natural cycle then if no luck, I'll go back onto clomid. Strangely my cycles have become 30/31 days since I m/c-ed which I've never had in my life before so it might be worth one go.
I'll be back in touch when I'm back on clomid but good luck in the meanwhile ladies, I'll keep checking back to see how you're doing xx

Lol love the honesty pills!
Yeah we BDd CD7 as hubby just jumped on me and itmade such a nice change from in bed when I'm knackered and just want to sleep! I'm so chilled out now though about the Clomid. Just like everyone else I thought it'd work first time but it seems not but I have this round and two more so still some chances. Hopefully chilled out means success!

I am so chilled out I'm forgetting to do my ov tests! I'm ok with that though. I did one earlier with forced pee and it was negative. I can't even remember what cd I am!

Yeah I've got a lot going on over the next 2 weeks that I won't really have time to do ov tests or focus on it so I'm hoping that will do the trick and we'll have a bfp when we come back from the mini break! X
