hi guys!

How is everyone doing here? I just have a quick question, I just did I round of provera and then clomid days 5-9 of 50 mg and now it is day 14 and I have slight cramps and a back ache. Is this common with clomid or what? Sorry if that is tmi. Did I screw up my real cycle and now I am trying to get a period or what? I hope everyone is doing well!

Hi Danica

Sometimes with ovulation I have felt cramps in the sides ! Hopefully this is what your pain is. Good luck.

Debbie

thanks Debbie!

I am crossing my fingers that is what that was. I really was about to take tylenol for it it was so bad. Now if I could only get pregnant! Too bad DH has such a dumb job, he is hardly home! Good luck to you too!
Danica :hismilie:

Hi Danica

I will be crossing my fingers for you that it is ovulation. Please let me know.

Also have you had any other side effects ? CM or anything ?

Debbie

Heya little fluff

I did have some hot flashes, one was so bad I was dripping sweat. I also noticed that I lost some patience, I didn't have these right away, it took a few days, and a slight headache now and again. Thats it. Is this your first time on clomid?
Danica

Hi Danica

I'm actually not on Clomid, I am doing herbal remedies, acupuncture etc. I have been TTC for 10 years on September 19th. I have popped so much Clomid along this journey and I hated it, I never ever got hot flashes but I was a moody miss !

Now with my herbs I have ovulated each and every month since December last year and I have actually conceived 4 times this year but none of them have progressed so that is my next hurdle now that I am getting pregnant to just get one to stick.

Looking forward to your update.

Debbie

thank you bith for replying.

I am interested in what herbal things you are taking that get you to ovulate and everything. I don;t usually get a period on my own so maybe I will have to stick with the meds? What do you think. I just know that I don;t enjoy putting things into my body. Let me know k? Oh hey, My day 21 for testing falls on a sunday, does anyone know if I should go the day before or after?

Hi Danica

This is really bad but I have no idea what is actually in my herbal blend as my Naturopath prepares it for me and it changes every new bottle dpending on what my body is doing. Initially I was on detox herbs for 11 months, that was to rid my body of all the toxins and to get my cycles in harmony, I have always had very regular periods but had never ovulated, what we had to do initially was get me ovulating, I record this with BBT charting, CM checking etc and while my periods were regular they would only go for a couple of days, were very light and totally pain free. Once my cycle got out to 5 & 6 days and I my temps and charts looked NORMAL it was on to the fertility herbs in November last year. I had my 1st BFP in feb and have since had them in April, May, June & July...I have just done a HPT this morning , I am on cycle day 24 and well I'm optimistic .......very very faint positive. Now I will just wait and see if this will be the one to implant.

Gee that was long, sorry. Please keep me updatede on your cycle and I will keep you updated on my +.

Take care
Debbie

good luck to you Debbie!

I am on cd 19 and so hoping that I will be the type that get pregnant on the first cycle of clomid. Do you know how soon you can do a HPT? Well good luck again and keep me posted!
Danica

Hi Danica

Thanks for your good wishes. Ideally you should HPT on the 1st day after your missed period. I am bad I always test early. This month because I knew I had such a good ovulation I tested really really early but it really isn't a good idea to test to early. Good luck.

Debbie

thanks,

Who has this kind of patience hmmmm?
Dani

I know patience is one of the hardest parts of IF, always waiting for something. It can be so frustrating ! Further news on my positive HPT, it has gone so faint that it is barely there. I am seeing my Dr today and will have a beta test but I really think this is a no go. Still keeping my fingers crossed for uou.

Debbie

Good luck hopefully it is still good news!!
danica

Thanks Danica ! Will let you know, had blood drawn but won't know anything until tomorrow, I will of course HPT again in the morning though !

Debbie

Hi Danica

I had a very low beta only 12 so it was not a viable pregnancy, I have since got AF as well. I am going to Melbourne tomorrow for an appointment at the miscarriage unit so hopefully I will be on track before too much longer.

Wishing you luck in your continued 2ww.

Debbie

I'm sorry little fluff!
Better luck next time
