    @BrianaK: still no AF. I run to the loo every 5 min to check praying and hoping with every ounce of my body she hasn't arrived.

    I've been having sharp pains on the left side near ovary which is very uncommon. Usually only happens when I'm gearing up to to O and that's it.

    Just went to the doc for a different issue and she did a preg test which came back negative so am pretty sure I am not preg I am 12dpo so it's most likely the clomid is making me late, she said wait another week if no AF then to go back for a blood test for pregnancy.

    That's if clomid didn't make me O late. If I did O late then I have no clue how many dpo I am, still think AF will show up either tomorrow or Wednesday.

    @EMILIA80 I haven't signed in since we last chatted. I have been trying to keep myself busy and been avoiding symptom checking although I have been charting my temps which helped me pinpoint my exact "O" date. It feels like AF is coming for me today. I have had such high temps until today it dropped from 98.1F to 97.3F. Still above my coverline (97.2F) but I'm convinced that means AF will arrive tomorrow or the next day. The TWW is very stressful as you say and it's easier said than done to just sit back and relax. When you want something so bad it becomes frustrating when it doesn't come when YOU want it. I swear, God has been testing my faith these past few months. But I'm faithful that if I'm out this month I still have a chance and know it will happen soon. I have been so stubborn to not consult a Doctor because it hasn't been a year of TTC for me but I'm beginning to really worry now and decided I'm going to consult with my OB at my next appointment next month (that's if AF comes in the next day or 2). Good luck to you and I will continue to check on you. Really keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    @MommyTo1TryingFor2: hi, I am so sorry to hear that AF is possibly on her way. hang in there, you're not out yet. Even when I feel discouraged and give up I try as hard as I can to stay optimistic and be positiv for not only myself but for us girls all in this. I really hope AF stays away and u get your bfp. Sending baby dust your way. Goodluck. PLS keep me updated.

    Afm- still no AF. Am coming up to 2 days late so I am now convinced clomid made me O later, question is how late? I have no friggen clue, it's stuffed up my whole cycle now. Also not sure now if I even bd during the right window, ughhhh. I hate u clomid!

    i remember not having any o pains which I thought was extremely odd as I always get them but when I thought I was meant to o no pains at all. Then almost about 5 days later I started expericing the o pains which I would normally get when I'm due to o. So am now sure maybe I o a week late which means my chances are slim to none of getting a bfp bc I think we only bd once or twice before that. If I am right!
    Just worried about how to get back on track for my next cycle bc now I need to sort out my monthly period start dates and o dates. Ughhh.
    Not sure if I should take clomid next cycle, I'm so angry.

    @Swoggette: @ChasingARainbow: thank u ladies, nothing new with me, am currently on AF cd3, and started my second round of clomid yesterday, gyno changed it from 5-9 to 2-6 and increased dosage to 100mg ! I think this will be my last shot. I know many women do minimum of 3 -6 months but I figured if it didn't work the first time and doesn't the 2nd it's unlikely it will the 3rd and I don't wana cause damage to my fertility.
    So o is a long way away and I just want it to hurry. I'm also thinking of bd eod this time as opposed to ed in Fw. I also started raspberry leaf tea so hope that boosts my chances.

    How about u ladies?

    @Emilia80: good luck girl! I'm thinking of the eod route as well. I go in cd14 for a scan to make sure Clomid didn't cause any cysts.

    @BrianaK: let me m know how your scans go. I'm getting. I'm getting mornitored too this cycle, I go in cd12 I want to make sure clomid isn't effecting my lining. Also the cysts.
    Man these headaches from the Clomid are vicious . Crikey! On 50mg I had no side affects but the 100 omg and the flashes. Headaches were that bad last night I was thinking not to even have my 2 dosage bc I was worried it'll cause my head to explode lol but all good I took it and I took some panadol and it eased it up. Still lingering a bit but not as bad as last night. slept like a baby though.
    So when is your scan what date? Mine is on Monday 20th. Hope it works for us.

    @Emilia80: I'm so sorry about the headaches sounds horrible! I have major hot flashes but I also am only taking 50 mg. I go in for my scan on the 14th.

    CD1 today. Boo AF.

  15. BrianaK

    grape / 89 posts

    @Emilia80: went in Wednesday cd 14 for my scan and had a follie on each side 22mm each. My lining looked great as well. My ob told me we would trigger if I didn't get a positive opk by today cd 16 but I did so now it's a waiting game! How are you doing ?

  16. Emilia80

    apricot / 296 posts

    @BrianaK: wow that's awesome girl. 22mm is a great size !! Did he only see 1 big follie? So is clomid making u o later than usual?? Im not sure I'm gonna have my scan bc I don't think we will have a chance to bd this cycle as my partner might be away all next week such a waste of taking clomid . I'm feeling down about it tbh. So don't think going in for scan will help it'll only make me more depressed knowing I won't be able to bd. hoping things change on his work front and we can get a few days ( just 2) days of bd.

    @Emilia80: awwww so sorry to hear that you won't be able to bd... That is a drag, fingers crossed that it all works out for you. I actually had two 22 mm follies one on each side. I surged today cd 16 so I didn't need the trigger . Clomid actually hasn't changed my O it's still the same as before I usually get my surge cd16. How about you ?

    @BrianaK: I know it sucks! I wouldn't have bothered with the clomid this month had I known earlier but he didn't know himself. He might be able to get a few days next week to be home so am praying !!!!
    Wow 2! U could have twins :))) I really really hope this is your month! So glad to hear you're about to O!
    Well I usually o cd14 but last month af came 2 days late so not sure if I o later bc of clomid or it just extended my lp. Am opk everyday until positive opk so I will know for sure this month.
    Keep me updated with how u go after o and your symptoms. Truly praying for u!

    @BrianaK: I think I may be o early! If I am then I am in with a chance this cycle. I took a cb digi opk yesterday AM and it was negative, plain face ( have been testing since cd7 just to be sure) and also using ic OPK's. Anyway, then yesterday evening at 5pm took another opk using both cb and ic and cb came back positive with a solid smiley face I was shocked, but the Ic wasn't positve and I think bc my urine was diluted. I'm on cd12 today. I know u can't use cb opk once u get a solid smiley face. Took another ic this morning and I can't work out if it's positive or almost positive?

    To add, on Saturday I had soooooooo much watery cm I mean bucket loads ( was first day this cycle I had so much) literally needed a pad. Then yesterday I had nothing! I'm so confused.

    Here's a pic of my opk this morning cd12 what do u think would love some advice.

    @Emilia80: I only use digital opks and from my experience they are so much more sensitive. That opk looks positive to me, but what days did you take clomid because you have to wait 3 days or so to take an opk after clomid otherwise it gives false positives. If you get a positive on a digital though I'd say your going to O

  22. Emilia80

    apricot / 296 posts

    @BrianaK: I took clomid cd2-6 and I started opk cd7 and all negative. Cd11 was my first positive. I will keep taking my ic. Do u still test after u get a positive on a cb opk?

  23. Emilia80

    apricot / 296 posts

    @BrianaK: Had my ultrasound, lining was 8mm is that good? Had a follicle of 21.5mm on my left which is my good tube. He said I should O today or tomorrow. So the opk was right .. Will bd tonight and tomorrow dp still hasn't gone away which is a good thing!

  24. BrianaK

    grape / 89 posts

    @Emilia80: once I get a positive I don't usually test but I have before and the next morning it was negative, so I assume my surge is short. I think 8mm is a great lining. All sounds like you have a great chance! Good luck. Meanwhile I am on 3 or 4 dpo ugh long wait

  25. Emilia80

    apricot / 296 posts

    @BrianaK: A qst. If u get a positive opk on cb digi and they say not to test again, the solid smiley face won't disappear until 48 hours which is what happened with mine, the solid stuck on the screen since Sunday until this evening, so can I test again now? Well I did and it was negative. What do u think? Have I o or is the opk thinking its a new cycle now for me? I took an ic too and it looks positive still. I'm on cd13! Got my first positive cd11. I'll upload the ic I just took would appreciate ur advice.



  26. BrianaK

    @Emilia80: yes once you get a positive on the digital it stays for two days because are technically your most fertile. I would say your surge is now over... I also check my cm and usually notice two days after my surge my cm is no longer stretchy and fertile.

  27. Emilia80

    apricot / 296 posts

    @BrianaK: I know I shouldnt keep testing but I can't help it lol I want to see when it shows negative so I can pinpoint when I o.
    So took another CB digi and it came back now with a flashing smiley. Then I took an ic and it was the most darkest it's ever been this cycle. So it was 100% positive, line darker than control line. So I wonder if I am o today? But why would cb flash and not solid. This is all confusing. I better keep bd for the rest of the week to cover my bases, but dang it's frhstrating not knowing for sure. And I can't temp bc I'm bad at it.
    I also had some watery cm again this morning.

    So how many dpo are u now? Any symptoms?

  28. BrianaK

    grape / 89 posts

    @Emilia80: o my that is so confusing! That's why I stop testing after a positive, I couldn't handle that! No symptoms that are different than pms. I'm either 4 or 5 days post o.

  29. Emilia80

    apricot / 296 posts

    @BrianaK: well cb opk still flashing smiley this morning and ic opk still looks positive to me too. I give up! Might call gyno said if I can have ultrasound to confim I o.

    So how u holding up? Any symptoms? If i o Tuesday like gyno predicted then I'm 2dpo and no symptoms for me. I have a feeling already I'm out this month, just feels like it's not my month.

    @Emilia80: I bet you already did o, you just never know you may not be out! Keep the faith. My symptoms are little...sore nipples are the only thing that's out of the ordinary for me. I called an RE to set up a consultation since we have hit the dreaded one year mark. Let's hope I can cAncel.

  31. Emilia80

    apricot / 296 posts

    @BrianaK: I really hope this is our month. Especially for u bc you've been trying longer. I pray for u. Are u going to test or wait until AF shows?

  32. BrianaK

    grape / 89 posts

    @Emilia80: I'll probably wait and test next Tuesday if I don't have any AF symptoms yet!

  33. Emilia80

    apricot / 296 posts

  35. Emilia80

    apricot / 296 posts

    @BrianaK: what makes u think that? U never know. Still early days. Maybe we just don't get symptoms until later ..

  36. BrianaK

    grape / 89 posts

    @Emilia80: I think I just think that because it's been a year and nothing so I'm just believing that it's not a possibility! Good luck girl!

  37. Emilia80

    apricot / 296 posts

    @BrianaK: any updates? How many dpo are u now? Have u tested?
    Well stupid me I tested this morning at 8dpo and stark white bfn. I'm convinced more than ever now Im out bc I have no symptoms at all. This is really getting to me now.

  38. BrianaK

    grape / 89 posts

    @BrianaK: I'm so sorry. But it could still be early. When is af due for u?
    Well I think I'll be out too. Won't test anymore. Will wait. I have another week. Feels like forever! But Im sure af will make her appearance.
