I actually found it here on this site with the different posts about progesterone and I got info from the herb store and a book I read inside. I actually have to go and get more this morning because i ran out and i was told to use it until CD26

OK found out that you use the progesterone cream after you have ovulated until CD26.It suppose to help lengthen your lutel phase for implantation and all that good stuff. So I started usinhg it today since I O on saturday.

Hi Ladies- Well today I am CD13/14 I stared spooting on 9/20 and had a very very light flow on 9/21 I mean so light that I only had to change pads one time the entire day so that is why I am not sure what day. My doctor said count the spotting on sat as CD1 so who knows I thought that the 1st day of actual flow would be consider 9/21 even tho it was very light. Sorry for TMI but its confusing but anyway I started OPK on 10/2 which is CD12/13 it was negative and today at 6:30am i got my +OPK so I will BD tonight and the entire weekend so please wish me luck. I only have BD once on 10/1 because sex has been painful for me. I never had that happen to me before but I will use preseed to see if that help and being that I will O on 10/4 when should I start using the progesterone cream anyone?

Hi ladies - how's everyone doing? I went in early for my follie study (yesterday on cd 10), and I have three nice large contenders - 2 on the left and one on the right. I wouldn't mind one bit if more than one of them happened to be ovulated and fertilized this time. Hopefully we will get lucky this month=). This is my third cycle of clomid, so I asked my doc when I could or should move on to more invasive measures (different meds, IUI), but he told me that since he was able to unblock my tubes back in July when he did my HSG, he thinks that I will get pregnant without the help of IUI, and is urging me to be patient. . . so I guess it's a waiting game!

The one negative this month for me is that my DH is having shoulder surgery tomorrow, so BD'ing during our fertile time this month will be more of a challenge. . . either that or I will have to get more creative!

Good luck this month ladies, and babydust to you all!!!

Hi everyone I am CD10 took my last comid pill saturday. Normally I will ovulate around 7-10 days after the last pill so I will start testing on Tuesday to see how soon I will get a BFP OPK. I am praying its sooner than 10 days so I can start BDing already all of this waiting is hetic on the membrane and not at all healthy (lol).I really pray this cycle we all get a BFP especially me because I have truly being TTC for over 10 yrs on and off with DH and with all of the mess been going on in our marriage for the past 4 yrs and my DH not living in the same house with me has been HELL! Yes my Dh and I are separated without being totally separated if you get it and we are trying to work on our marriage from a distance but it doesn't seem to working so well but I will have faith and keep it because I know God didn't bring us this far to let us go just yet. Anyway Baby Dust to you all*********:)

Meg, I posted about my follie study earlier, but this is how it went, I have 1 follicle that is 1 1/2 centimeters. I am cd15 and he says he likes to see them atleast 2 at this point. So I am bummed about that! He went to check my left ovary, and said, oh yeah you don't have one lol... so he told me to still time bd every other day for the next 5-7 days for sure, then whenever after that. He gave me the paperwork to get a blood progesterone level on cd23, and said we would go from there, but he thinks he will have to bump up my clomid for next cycle to 100 mg. So I don't know what to think, Dr. Q said 1.5 is getting close to mature, so that made me feel a little better, what do you think about the size? Do I still have a chance of Getting pregnant this cycle?

That is wierd. My Doc just has me take clomid cycle days 3-7 and then she said to check for ovulation from days 11-21. When I get a positive, I have to wait for 10 days and go get a blood test (progesterone) and then wait another 10 days after the blood test to see her again so she can test for pregnancy. I didn't get through all that on my first round because I never ovulated. If it doesn't work this time I am going to ask her about it because it is really frustrating not knowing. Good luck and thanks for the info :)

Majuntuc - I O on my own, but when my OB put me on clomid he told me that I would need to come in once a month (about mid cycle or a little before) for a follie study. He told me that since I O on my own, they need to make sure that they don't overstimulate my ovaries, and apparently that is the rationale for the ultrasound. It's cool to be able to see all of the little eggies waiting to be released=).

BobbiJ - How'd your follie study go? Lots of eggs? And definitely not scary or painful, right? Mine have never been painful=)

Hey James, I am on cd2,on 100mg cd3-7, but if my doctor doesn't get in touch with me until Monday then I will start cd5. This is my 4th round of clomid but I took a 2 month break after the third round and took bc to regulate on my own, but the doc said he still want me to take clomid even though I have been off the bc for two weeks. He said the clomid will make me ovulate so it don't matter, but my hopes aren't up for this month.

BobbiJ-

I have had several done, none were painful...I have PCOS, so during the diagnosis process, it became routine. Then on my first round of Clomid I did it as well. It was neat to see all those eggies there!!

This is melissa,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR telling me what I was getting myself into tomorrow. I have had those ultrasounds done a thousand times, due to PCOS and lots of cysts, so I am used to a vaginal ultrasound. Thanks for letting me know about peeing to, because they usually have me drink tons of water and then NOT pee before the ultrasound. this time they didn't say anything, so that is really helpful! thank you so much and goodluck! hey do you know what the follicles "should" measure at?

bobbij....

follie study is an internal ultrasound. They stick a probe (about the size of a skinny hotdog) into your vagina. They use it to look at your vaginal lining and your ovaries.

Super simple, not usually painful. Be sure to pee before cuz if you have any urine in your bladder, it'll be harder to locate the ovaries.
