I hope it is a good month too for both of us! CD5 today, start clomid this evening. I am hoping either for an early or late ovulation day...thiw eekend is our one year anniversary which would be so coll to conceive then....but also I am leaving for a trip on Tuesday and coming back sunday so...I leave CD11 and come back CD 16, so hopefully we can still get pg this month! I ovulated one month CD13 and then this past month CD20 so we will see...hoping for the best!!!

They have been ok...I guess you could say. ONly way they could really be good is with a POSITIVE! But this is my 4th round. 3rd round at 100mg. I thought they were going to put me at 150mg this time but nope. The fist time ws 50mg days 5-9, no ovulatoin with a prog. level of 1. Second round 100mg CD3-7, progesterone level of 46, ovulated CD13, AF came CD29. So next round at 100mg, ovulated CD20, AF came CD34, and a progesterone level of 15. So now I am on CD6, started my clomid last night....now here comes the waiting game!
Hi everyone...I know it has been awhile but I was out of town for over a week....
So I am at CD18 today. I am in the process of o'ing....I got a postive yesterday evening so we will see! We BD Sunday night and this morning and I think we will BD tonight or tomorrow again. Although my DH is not feeling too great so we might be waiting.
What do ya'll think??

awesome...well I am on my 4th round. Above it says 150mg, but nope, I did 100mg, days 5-9. I am cd19 right now. I got a positive opk monday night so we have been bd'ing. Hopefully this our month! I just found out a friend of mine who has been trying for 9 months, 5 on letrazol/femara, one miscarriage, is 4 weeks pregnant. So it can happen for all of us! Event hough it made me a little sad it was not me to hear that...it was great to hear positive news!
Is everyone being monitored...or taking progesterone levels? What else are ya'll doing to increase your chances?

oohh, be careful with moega 3-6-9, i dont know where i heard this from but i heard you should only take omega 3, not the 3-6-9.
i am only going in to get my progesterone levels. i did a couple opk's and i think i just got lucky and actually got a positive.
i am also taking red raspberry leaf which is suppose to be a natural way to help your uterine lining while on clomid...

Hi all, I'm coming in to this thread late, but I am on cd14, my second cycle of Clomid, this time with 150mg. No OPK+ for me yet, but had some ewcm today. Last few cycles I didn't O until CD 25-28 though, which is why the dr increased my dose. Before Clomid my cycles were 6-10 weeks long due to pcos. I have also been taking some expectorant cough medicine each night which I do think is helping the CM. BD'ing every other night, hoping for OPK+ soon! Really hope this is all of our lucky month, ladies! Baby Dust to all!
BOO1--WELCOME! My cycles have been longer too but my doc has not upped me yet. I have done 3 rounds on 100mg. I ovulated late last month and also pretty positive I am in the process of ovulating. So yep, we are BD'ing until AF does not show....HOPEFULLY!
Is it possible to get pregnant right after ovulation...I guess what is the window after you actually ovulate? Not the window after a positive opk?

it all depends on how long ur egg hangs around dawn. every woman is different. ususally the window is like 24-48 hrs but ive also heard some women its only 12 hours...
When u get a + OPK it means ur about to ovulate very soon. The OPK measures ur LH surge, which is a hormone that surges to high amount right before you ovulate.
im CD 27 today. soon to start clomid whenever damn AF gets here. should be soon! Im taking 50 mg CD 3-7 =)
Chelsha... i would watch taking too much vitamins. ive heard its bad and can cause an early miscarriage. should only take pre natal, and maybe a couple other ones. ask ur dr.
I actually AM being monitored. My dr. wants to. So CD 12 I go in for an u/s to see how big my follicles are. Depending on the size I guess they tell me when the eggs are gonna drop out and when I'll be ovulating. I think I'm gonna do OPKs too on my own at home....
AHHH Im so excited to start clomid =)

Hi Girls, guess what? I got my OPK+, and I am only on CD15. This is the earliest I have ever O'd in my whole life! BD's last night and going to BD each night until I see a temp shift.
This is my second clomid cycle, but first one on 150mg and it seems to be working. I am excited as even if we don't fall PG this month, at least it means I have a chance each month to try rather than every three months which is how I am without the clomid. All Baby Dust donations gratefully accepted!

WOW, they already put you on 150mg? I have been on 100mg for 3 months now. I wish they would have upped my dose this past month. Oh well, we will see what it brings!
Yeah, I know about the 12-48 hours after a positive opk that you ovulate but i just did not know about the actual ovulation time, how long the egg stayed around to be fertilized you know.
So weird thing is...got my positive opk on Monday and today I have EWCM???Any thoughts???
Boo - congrats on the early o. that is great also because you will not have to wait as long if it does not work this time to move forward withyour next round. Right now I have like a 35 day cycle so the waiting is ALL the time!!!
Jennifer - let us know when AF shows up.

lol i have long cycles too so i know clomid will only lengthen them even more lol which sucks. but u never know. it could always shorten them...
well u may be mistaking semen for EWCM becuase i know i used to do it all the time. the day after sex you can confuse sperm with CM very easily, they say not to even worry about examining ur CM too carefully when ttc and BD all the time cuz u can just drive urself crazy lol. but yet everytime i wipe im checking it out like im gonna find gold in the toilet paper or something! lmao!
also i dont know if its just because im so irregular and messed up but, my cm is never the same and i doesnt follow any type of pattern like they say its supposed to lol. if it does i just never notice it. one day theres a lot, couple days later none, one day its sticky then like 3 days later its stretchy. i cant go by mine at all so dont feel bad ur not alone lol.
why dont u ask them, if this round of clomid fails (hope it doesnt tho) ask them for the trigger shot. they can give that to u and help ur egg come out when u ovulate, or ask them to up the dosage of clomid. couldnt hurt to ask.
idk when AF is coming man... ive had symptoms for a week, but its tech. not due until like sept 4th or so, but im irregular so who knows when it wil be here. all i know is i had one in beginning of august and so SOON very soon it should be coming. my last cycle was only 16 days but the 2 before that were 34 days so idk what to think now... but ive had cramps, sore breasts, tired, moody... so i know its gotta be getting close.
