@LBarn: I would think it's probably from sex, and if it stops soon it probably was. I would definitely contact your OB's office if it persisted though just to be sure.
------------
Well, I'm back among the living today. 2 bags of fluids and nearly 4 liters of Pedialyte later; I was finally able to eat this evening for the first time since Thursday night (with the aid of Zofran) -
@Sams Mom: So glad to read that you are feeling better!
-
For those of you ladies whom have used Clomid -
Have any of you had weight gain? Within 2 mos, I'm up 10-lbs.
. (From 108 to 118 and mostly in the middle!!! I look like I have a small baby bump!...Which is frustrating because I'm not pregnant!) I'm kinda glad my OBGYN has me taking a month off. It has been the ONLY change in my lifestyle in the last 2-1/2 mos. I'm not ravenously eating. I'm an active person. What is going on?!? Is it just me? My OBGYN said minor weight gain and bloat is common but, come on, I stepped on the scale this morning after being unable to comfortably put on a pair of pants I wore few weeks back and - BAM!
-
@Sams Mom: glad you could finally eat something and are doing better
I ended up calling a close friend who’s an OB (she delivered my first) and told her I’m pregnant and asked about the spotting. She said not to worry unless it turns into heavy bleeding... made me feel better for now!
-
@LBarn: I'm so glad you checked into it and everything is fine!
-
@Kaohinani: I didn’t have any weight gain or increased appetite from clomid. It did give me intense nausea which I’m prone to anyways. The side effects vary widely with it though!
-
@dc yoga bee: Thanks for the reply. Everyone appears to have different side effects from Clomid ... It is amazing! I'm going insane over this weight (especially since I have nothing to show for it yet) and I'm physically uncomfortable. I feel like I'm the only one that has gotten weight gain from Clomid. Oh well, I suppose it could be worse. Thanks again.
-
@Kaohinani: I've found some lbs, but I don't know that I can directly blame the Clomid. I guess if I gain more on the 150 mg I'll know to blame it
-
Looks like I’m out on 9 DPO (thinking I O’d a day earlier than I thought because it makes more sense that this would be 10 DPO). On to the next cycle! Good luck ladies xoxo
Edit: changed CD to DPO .. oops!
-
Cycle Day: 6
TTC Cycle: 8
Ovulation Date: July 18th
POAS Date: July 30th
Baby #: 2, our daughter is 2.5I was so hopeful last month but back on the rollercoaster I go
-
@megpie: did you start your period? And are you only having a 9-10 day luteal phase? Cd usually refers to cycle day, dpo would be days past on (your lp length)
-
@MamaBear87: oops! I definitely meant DPO, not CD. And yup my average luteal phase length is usually only 10-11 days. I’m spotting today which usually means AF will be here tomorrow, so I guess I’m not totally out yet!
-

LBARN RDHBee EmmaNZ -
@MamaBear87: we ovulate on the same day this month!... As long as 150 mg of clomid doesn't throw me for a loop
-
@megpie: sorry about that... hope next month is luckier for you.
@MamaBear87: good luck this month!
This is a comparison 11 vs 13 DPO.... Really trying to stay positive. I thought the two week wait was long but I can already tell waiting for a first ultrasound will seem like an eternity!
-
@EmmaNZ: That's a BEAUTIFUL progression!
-
@Sams Mom: Thanks for your response.
@Megpie: Hoping you aren't actually out this month! F'x.
@Mamabear87: While I'm bummed you didn't get your BFP last month, it is nice to see you on the board!
@EmmaNZ: Wow! Beautiful progression on those HPTs!
-
@EmmaNZ: that looks awesome!
@Kaohinani: thread crashing to say I definitely gained some weight on clomid (I’ve done about 8 lifetime rounds), but I was never sure that it was directly the drugs or more a result of the mental state it (and IF in general) put me in - between mood swings, hot flashes, not feeling like myself, feeling like it would never work ... I figured that took a toll on my daily choices. But it may have just been the drugs too! I hope this next round does it for you!
-
@EmmaNZ: Those look great!
-
@bhbee: Thank you for "crashing!"
-
CD14 so I should be ovulating today (though I haven't been using OPKs).
I threw a baby shower for my sister yesterday and got so many annoying comments. My grandma said "I thought for sure you were going to tell me you were pregnant today," as I'm sitting there drinking wine... and many others commenting that the next baby/shower will be mine. All of these people know I had a miscarriage and badly want another baby.
-
@skinnycow: well that's crappy. People really just don't think about what they're saying
-
@skinnycow: I'm so sorry you had to go through that!
Sending hugs your way. -
@Sams Mom: haha cycle buddies
@EmmaNZ: @Kaohinani: thanks!
-
@MamaBear87: I'm going the opposite direction, I think I'm going to start temping again tomorrow... ahhhhh
-
@Sams Mom: doesn't clomid artificially raise your bbt? But I think it also can mess with opks so I guess the meds might make everything wonky.
-
Getting ava to re-look at my cycle last month looks like I didn't o until cd19. Because of course my body can't get the same deal down 2 months in a row.
-
@MamaBear87: I have tested the OPK thing, and it doesn't give me false positives; but I know a lot of women have got false positives... I'm just weird. Clomid did shift my temps up, but the pattern remained consistent.
I wish I could O after CD 14, I feel like Clomid is pushing me to the bare minimum but not any further. I had 30 day cycles pre baby, and then I had Nexplanon for a year after my son was born. Sometimes I wonder if I should have never done a birth control or it was the postpartum in general that shortened my cycles.
-
@MamaBear87: Clomid ABSOLUTELY raises one's core temp which affects bbt. It's even evident in my current chart (Note - this cycle I'm not on Clomid but the last 2 I was). The majority of my temps are .5 to a full degree lower this cycle than they were on my medicated cycles. FF is all over the place! Lol
-
@Sams Mom: i never tracked before my little but had pretty perfect 28 day cycles. It's frustrating now not knowing if I always ovulated around cd16 and only had 11-12 day lps or if it's new and that's what's keeping us from getting pregnant. I know 10 or longer should be fine it's just I keep looking for a reason
@Kaohinani: it does still look like you get a biphasic shift so that's good. I'm so envious of all these women that never have to track all this stuff
As a cute tidbit for this morning we just brought home our new puppy
-
@MamaBear87: awwwww, so cute!
ETA: I am always looking for a reason! I drive myself crazy doing it too
I mean my son is the product of no more tracking than knowing that I ovulated around X day and to avoid it like the plague (obviously I lost track of when X day was since I got pregnant). I also envy anyone that doesn't have to track and gets pregnant quickly.
-
@MamaBear87: That puppy is absolutely melt-worthy adorable!
-
@Sams Mom: yep my daughter was a month 1 trying baby. Haha my husband worked from home at the time so we just had all the sex. It's so mind boggling that now we've got nothing
-
@Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: I'm sure 2 dogs will eventually be easier but currently our exuberant older dog, who's almost 2, just keeps freaking her out wanting to play so bad
-
@MamaBear87: O it's coming, once that puppy gets comfortable with the bigger dog it is on like donkey kong. They will run over anything and anyone chasing and playing.
We were newlyweds (not that sex was anything new for us
), so yeaaaa all the sex
-
@Sams Mom: lol that's my concern. It's the heat of summer here so the poor things may end up crated more than I'd like because they're already knocking stuff over in the house
-
@MamaBear87: get a kiddie pool for the backyard for when they are outside running it off. Or turn on the sprinkler for them and your daughter to play in.
-
@MamaBear87: my dog treats his like a puppy spa
-
@Sams Mom: we have pop up sprinklers and a kiddie pool would totally breed mosquitoes but I might try and grab a cheap sprinkler for them. Cinnamon our older dog eats hoses though so it's super annoying to have to drag the hose out of the pool yard and back.
Currently have to send cinnamon outside so Sugar can get a nap though so should work out for the time being
-
We have a Lab-pit mix (8-mos) and a Patterdale terrier (5-years) ... boy, do they keep us busy! (Love my fur-baby daughters, though. Lol)
Incidentally, I think this board has taken a definite detour now that we are discussing our pup-babies and not POAS, cycles, or human babies!
Best of luck to everyone this month!
