Fingers crossed out there.

Second round of Clomid, and sex on days 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.

Love the even numbers hey! But, taking the advice of everyone seriously not to do it every single day, every other day.

You know when you just want to know the answer to a question, and it’s torture waiting? I hate waiting! But what will be will be. Just wanted to have a talk to someone out there, as I haven’t told anyone in my family or friends that I am using Clomid. Don’t want to have to explain why it doesn’t work and feel bad. Less people that know they better hey. I feel really anonymous doing this over the web, its great to get support from people and not have to tell who you really are!

I wish you the best of luck!
I understand you not wanting to tell people. The last thing you need is everyone continually asking you "are you pregnant yet?"

Good luck! Blows baby dust your way... *****************

Thanks guys

Support very much appreciated! :)

When is the earliest you can do a HPT?

alkalineangel · Jul 10, 2007, 04:05 PM

5 days before missed period... but you run the risk of false negative.

CuriousbutShy · Jul 10, 2007, 06:16 PM

Aaaah, OK.

Might leave it longer. But can I ask - is the 5 days before MP, based on my cycle now I have started Clomid?

For the first time in years, my cycle turned into 26 days (only one full cycle since being on Clomid). Normally was like fifty something days!

So if it's a now 26 day cycle, I could see on day 21... but better to leave it until like day 30 or something?

Or just wait and see LOL, as being this eager will jinx me LMAO!

I would wait until your missed period. If you test early you run the risk of a false negative. But if you are eager you can test up to 5 days before your missed period just remember that if it is false it could be wrong or it could be right. You won't know for sure until that wonderful missed period.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you also!

Thank you for your help and advice. I have another question. I was reading on a website that a sign of ovulation could be stomach cramping, like a period. I have that now, really sore stomach in my lower abdomen.

I am on day 18 (yes, inter today and Friday!). Last time I got my period on day 26, which would mean (on the 14 day rule) that I ovulated on day 12? On the second cycle, should it be around this same timelength, or could it actually move out more? Ie ovulate on day 18?

That being said, the website also said inter 1 – 2 days PRIOR to…….if we had inter every SECOND day, this could cover that period?

I know I am getting technical here, but just really trying to understand!!

Love you ladies who have answered me, you are all legends.

Having sex every other day would definitely cover your basis and ensure that you have sex sometime around when you ovulate. Since you just started using clomid it might take a few cycles for you to really know your body and what to expect. Once you know your cycles it will be much easier to find when you ovulate.
As far as the cramping, I know that the month I got pregnant I cramped a few days after I should have ovulated. This was unusual for me and felt a lot like period pains. I suppose this was when the fertilized egg was implanting.
Once last piece of advice. Try to relax. Take a deep breath and try not to think about getting pregnant. I know this is hard, but the more you stress the harder it will be to get pregnant. Relax and have some fun.

CuriousbutShy · Jul 11, 2007, 02:20 PM

Thank you - no more stressing!!

You ladies really are gems :)

CuriousbutShy · Jul 19, 2007, 02:10 PM

Howdy
No news my end. I am now on day 27, and no period yet. Not sure how much to read into this, as the first round of Clomid made my period come 26 days later. Not sure if I should be expecting the same sort of time frame from the second Clomid round.
I want to put it to the back of my mind, and forget about it, but its kind of hard!! Everywhere I look, babies everywhere, and just staring me in the face!
Just wanting to talk into cyberspace I suppose!!
I love reading the posts on this website, some are really good, great advice, some admittedly are quite hilarious!
Anyway, just wanting to talk you know! As this is not something I am keen to discuss with friends at the moment.
Thanks for listening :)

Howdy ladies... I feel like I am talking to myself here LOL.
But just wanted to let you know, 2nd round didn't work. Apparently I ovulated in the first round, but not the second round, so now have to double my dosage of Clomid.

Thanks for being so full of advice and supportive.

Third time is the charm... or at least lets hope. But don't stress about it. I believe God will provide you with a child when he feels you are ready. You might not want to hear that because everyone wants to be in control of their life and have things happen when they want it to happen. Patience is the key. Take one day at a time, and when the time is right it will happen. (hopefully that time will be sooner rather then later). Best of luck on this third round. Hopefully you will ovulate and things will work out perfectly!
