Waaah clomid is getting my hopes up!!

[itisbabytime]

Ill get straight to the point....

First round clomid, now 11 dpo, did a hpt with fmu - bfn

I normally have spotting for two to three days leading upto AF and AF come around 12dpo so would have expected spotting by now

Is this just the clomid doing what it is supposed to - strenthen my LP - or am I clutching at straws thinking there may still be a chance?

If it doesn't work this month ill take the positive in that it brought my ov forward a few days than normal and a better LP but god damn I really wanted it to work.

It's a great thing you've not started spotting- definitely the clomid doing it's job. And you're only 11dpo sweetie, which test did you use? There's plenty of time yet. Any symptoms to report? Stay strong my lovely, and if no clomid baby this time there might be next cycle xxx

Morning blondy!! I used a frer so absolutely sure it isn't happening and absolutely no symptoms. No spotting no bloating no sore boobs nothing. I'm gonna try again tomo if AF doesn't show. I'm just dissapointed - becoming real that we do have issues when it comes to this and its upsetting.

I think it is a good sign that no spotting has happened but isn't necessaily pregnancy related. It simply deosn't mean anything.

It doesn't mean that you are out either, so fingers crossed xx

 

[maybe baby]

Clomid increases progesterone and therefore helps maintain the uterine lining that's probably why you've not had spotting!

Good luck Hun!

Xx

Yeah I'm glad my lp is better. Get my 21days prog number back next week. Hope its good.

I'm just being a miserable b'tard

hey itsbabytime good that the clomid is helping with your spotting, keep us updated with your results and fx for your bfp, your not out till the witch gets you

 

[itisbabytime]

Thanks! Are u back fully on the ttc wagon after the eptopic? Not seen you around recently x

Hi itisbabytime FX the clomid does it for you. Can I ask do you ovulate naturally? And what dose of clomid you're on? I still have a months worth of 50g clomid that my friend gave me, I'm too scared to use it but think if AF comes this month I may just go for it. I'm conflicted about it tbh.

I wouldn't worry about having no symptoms, it doesn't mean your not cheggers! Xxx

 

[itisbabytime]

hey kk!

yes i ovulate every month. my private doc put me on 25mg and gave me 6months worth. im on a low dose because i already ov but he thinks that as my AMH is borderline low, that i spot before my period and my leautal phase is a little short, that the clomid will be enough to "strengthen" my ov. It appears to work! I ovd on day14, usually can be anywhere from day 14-19ish, my temps have remained high and i am 11dpo and have had NO spotting at all - I usually start spotting as early as 8-9dpo.

I spoke to my NHS doc and they told me that I would never have gotten the clomid on the NHS as i ovulate by myself

If I were you and ov by yourself i would maybe consider taking half a tab - 25mg - per day instead of the full 50mg? I didnt have any monitoring at all on this dose - generaly women get scans to check they aren't over stimulating but i think that is on the high doses - 100mg+.

Think about it carefully. Let me know what you decide. I dont want to convince you either way as there are risks that you need to know before you decide.

Can anyone else advise??

Re the no symptoms, im sure i am out, at 11dpo with fmu it would have been +. Also nothing else going on - no sore boobs, no backache, nothing!!

Thanks chick that is helpful. I've also had good advice from kirsty and maybe and I've been trying to weigh up the risks. I didn't consider halving it to 25mg, that's something to think about, feel a bit more comfortable with that. I like the thought of it shortening my cycles. My lp is 14-15 days so I'm ok with that but cycles vary from 27-39 days. I'm having a relaxed month and haven't done opks so I'm on cd 21 but have no idea if I've ov or if its still to come. Can't even be bothered to bd tbh! Just every 2-3 days if that.

I wouldn't lose hope yet, plenty of girls have had bfns at 11dpo but get their bfps later, give it a few days hun. Sending you positive vibes Xxx

Ye I'm in my first 2ww since it happened, 8dpo, might do a early test 10dpo, we'll see , usually start spotting 9/10dpo tho but have been taking vitb50 to help reduce it so hopefully it will
