This is my 4th clomid attempt & more than likely last attempt :(
Ive started using OPK's to help pinpoint O so we can get an attempt/s more accurately.
I was using CBFM prior to clomid to get used to it & it did work. Picked up my high & then peak days.
I didnt use it on the other clomid attempts as it was giving me high readings for ages & I felt like it was physically obvious that I was ovulating. We just started BDing around CD 12 & then hoping to catch it , even with a cutoff.
This time, Im trying to have an attempt on or as close to O as possible, so I decided to use OPKs as well as CBFM. Its my first time using OPKs that arent digital.
I started using OPKs on CD9, am & pm. All were quite faint.
CD 10 I also started using CBFM (am) & that is reading 'high' only.
CD 11 the line darkened but it was still quite faint & not as dark as others I have seen online.
Yesterday, which was CD 11, I noticed alot of 'O' pain. I was very bloated, had pressure, cramps, a very strong pinching feeling & then a dull ache on Left Ovary.
DH & I decided to DTD last night, after a 7 day abstain, just in case I missed O.
I will start doing CFR until we get a peak (if we do) and then maybe have another attempt in a few days. (I only ever wanted one but I think its lowering my chances too much).
I was so sure that I would have Ov yesterday or today but this morning's CBFM is still high.
I know its only CD 12 & normally on Clomid I dont O until at least CD13 but does anyone have an opinion on the O pains but no peak/surge?
(If its any conselation, my pains are gone this morning).
Sorry for the long post & TIA!! :)
