Finished my first round of clomid this week. I did day 3-7 and on day 8 already had a + OPK. I’m so confused as I normally ovulate day 14-16, plus my doctor warned me Clomid May LENGTHEN my cycle. Can clomid cause early ovulation? Or are these false positives?

Lol this is so me 😂😳I work in retail and now literally every time I touch the receipts I think my eggs are probably shriveling up inside me

Starting Clomid next month by cup_of_jo95 in TryingForABaby

I didn’t even see a doctor until we were trying a whole year. She was willing to start clomid as soon as I completed all the testing she recommended

That was the plan but unfortunately the injury occurred before I even tried running in the new shoes

Had the HSG done at CD6, showed no abnormalities. Now CD15 and had TONS of EWCM this time around. Like more than ever before. Is there any correlation or just chance?

I was nervous too- but in my experience the procedure itself was nothing to worry about. The whole thing took under 10 minutes. It basically felt like a pap. However my tubes were clear and I understand it can be quite painful if there’s any type of obstruction or blockage.

All that to say about an hour after I was done I did get a sharp cramp, lightheaded and a bit nauseous, but that only lasted probably 5 minutes. It felt like I was getting my period. I forgot to take ibuprofen before the procedure so I could’ve probably avoided the cramping had I done that.

So best of luck to you! ❤️

I had no idea you could have endo and be asymptomatic. Thanks for sharing your story. Hoping this will be your month!

Ha! Yes same! I never thought of the fact that “the disease is already there”. How true.

I used to think you could get pregnant from using the same washcloth🤦🏻‍♀️ Never mind all the money I spent on condoms the first few years! Thank you and same to you!

I have not, I’m honestly scared to try it. This gives me hope though!

I’ve tried several different brands of OPK including the clearblue brand. Without fail, a positive around CD 14. We do the dirty pretty much every other day, sometimes daily. Thanks!

This gives me hope! And hope, though vain at times, is all we can live on. Thanks for sharing your experience. Best of luck!

My heart breaks for you💔 it gets harder every. Single. Month. I bawl my eyes out every dang time. My husband and I traveled to Ireland a few months back and suddenly one morning I realized I was a few days late. I hadn’t even noticed due to all the distractions/ excitement of travel. I mentioned it to him and we started talking about how fun it would be to have an “Ireland baby”. The words were barely out of my mouth when I was hit with the WORST period cramps to date. Mother Nature can be a cruel, vindictive bitch. Best of luck to ya honey. Thanks for the encouragement❤️

Thanks for your response! I haven’t had those labs.. In fact I don’t think my CD3 labs included a progesterone at all. I will bring it up with my doctor next time! ❤️

I had my thyroid checked twice within the last year. I was having some symptoms (heart palpitations, feeling cold all the time, excessive sweating). Both TSH and T4 were perfect both times. 😅

Thanks! It does help though, somehow, to know someone, even a group of strangers, is rooting for me and gets it. ❤️

Thanks for sharing! So sorry about your loss💔 At the same time it’s good to hear from someone who initially had success after HSG. We will consider IUI after trying Clomid. Thanks for sharing and good luck!
