Kmom I would definitely BD again today! It's harder to conceive with a really long cut off (more than 4 days) on Clomid for sure, just due to reduced CM.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Thank you maiden!
It's so frustrating to me to have such a hard time getting positive opks! I have ewcm but it is minimal... I feel like that must be an effect of clomid... my cp is very high. I can't even tell if it's soft or hard cause its out of reach almost.
Tmi question but does anything effect cp other than O? Like needing to have a bowel movement? I don't feel like i have to go to the bathroom at all but I'm just trying to think of any reason why it would feel so high other than ovulation it's self.

Sorry maiden. Your temps are still high overall. Mine dropped before my bfp in December. Also saw tfahn started. It really is disappointing to get a negative after a mc. So close but so far.
I still keep getting upset about my cp. Being pregnant would have saved me so much money between the RE and acupuncture. Plus I always think of the baby that could have been...
I know the best results for girl are one or two times but I conceived my last dd with an IUI and tons of bd before and after. I had a really LE lifestyle though so that helped I'm sure.

Kmom I've only gotten positive OPKs twice in 6 years of using them. On Clomid, my OPKs were even lighter than usual! It is indeed very frustrating. I love my CBAD bc I get a Peak on it preceded by 3-4 days of Highs. But it can't be used on Clomid. I think it's great that you are BDing every 4 days. I planned to do that this cycle but I felt so bad from the Clomid it wasn't possible. Hoping to do every 3 days next cycle.
Awww Quinn i really hope this is your month.
I just noticed some clear EWCM with a tiny blob of rubbery, very pale pink CM. I'm inclined to think that means I'm out...but my pre AF spotting is always at least a little brownish. Often it looks beige bc it's so little and mixed with creamy CM. This pink is completrly devoid of any brown. Last pregnancy I has a few days of pink tinged clear-creamy CM around the same dpo. Gah! If it WERE brown I'd just assume AF was coming...i hate limbo!
Also I'm retaining water? I noticed bc I wore some jeans and almost couldn't button them but I definitely haven't gained weight. Has anyone retained water post O on Clomid? This is not a normal symptom for me, pregnant or not.

I can relate Quinn, the BFN hit me hard yesterday and I kept thinking that the MC I had last month was probably a boy that I wanted since it took so long to implant, as people usually say boys implant later. I had tested through 11dpo and never got a positive on a FRER so when I started bleeding on 13 dpo I naturally assumed it was my period which in hindsight it never was, I so wish I had tested Christmas day.
I just have heard so many people get there BFP after there MC that I was focused on that all month but alas a new cycle began, crying over it won't change my BFN so trying to stay positive. I will start Clomid Monday evening, After I call the RE and request a blood HcG test Monday morning. I just don't trust the FRER's and the heaving bleeding enough to take Clomid again without a blood test. Fingers crossed for a healthy BFP this cycle.

Yeah, tfahn your situation was such a strange fluke. I've never heard of that happening so I would probably get a blood test too. Hopefully this is it for you!!

Hi all so I'm trying for a girl as well this is month four of hoping to get a positive preg test but AF came at 11 days past o about 4 days earlier then normal! It was def a period as it was not just spotting lasted only 3-4 days usually have two light days and three heavy! Didnt have the heavy this time ? U think its messed up from diet and supplements! Atomic said to dtd 1 time at positive but I'm going to do every three days? Also do any of you use refresh debating if I should use it or if maybe that us another reason I'm not getting prego! I usually get preggo easily! First month w my first and 1 time w my second!

Refresh cuts conception a lot and odds are not even that good, I used it before and didn't conceive dropped it and did. I used ky jelly and won't be using it again.
Just fiber and coffee and alcohol daily and BD e3d

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
