advice-clomid and luetal phase

[djmommy]

I am 6 dpo today. I ovulated early, CD 8. I took clomid the past 2 cycles and nothing this cycle. I normally have a 13 day LP..give or take a day or two. I am having light cramping and the smallest spotting. The only time I ever spot is before AF. Could she be making an appearance extra early? Can clomid mess things up in the LP after stopping it???

[MyByC]

First time I used Clomid, I spotted 2 days before my AF. Second time, I spotted 5 days before. I heard you can spot or not, it depends of your own body.
You might also spot from implantation.
6dpo is a common day when implantation occure.
Good luck!

[djmommy]

Thank you. I did not take clomid this month. I do usually spot a day or two before AF but never this early.

[MyByC]

Then it was implantation. Wonderful way to start the year. I guess you could test this evening after holding your pee for 5-6 hours 😁 Good luck!!!

[djmommy]

Oh gosh, I am totally terrified to test. I am only 7 dpo today and do not want to see a bfn! Seen too many these past months. I promised myself I wouldn't test unless I was late. FX FX FX!!!!!!

[MyByC]

Then wait by Sunday morning

[djmommy]

For sure!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[djmommy]

I just hope AF is not trying to come EARLY!

[atomic sagebrush]

Anything is possible ALWAYS and especially where Clomid is involved.

[djmommy]

Yea, I figured that! BLAH!

[atomic sagebrush]

Update when you can! FX and TX too

[MyByC]

When I did not had Clomid(between the months I had), my cycle was 28 day with ov in 14 day(as always). Good luck!

[djmommy]

Nothing happy to report. Still light spotting and big temp drop today. I assume clomid messed things up and now hormones are wonky. I am mad at myself for taking it. Ugh....hopefully things will regulate and DH is on board continuing TTC.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

[atomic sagebrush]

Happy New Year DJ! I have a feeling a lot of good things are coming in 2015 for all of us!

[djmommy]

I think so too Atomic!! I appreciate all of your support!!!

[djmommy]

Also, do you think I should continue to sway? I am doing basic atomic fertility diet. I really think it was the clomid but wanted input. I am also doing more than one attempt because above all, I do want to get pregnant with another baby!

[MyByC]

Of course you should continue swaying!
Dont give up hope! NEVER!
And fight for what you wish! Just give it a little more time. We are in the same boat.
Hugs ❤️

[djmommy]

Thanks so much MyByc!! You are right!! I thank you for your support! Looking forward to a New Year and fresh start!! FX for us! You will be in my thoughts too!! XX

[MyByC]

There is nothing you need to thank me for. I'm putting myself in your position with the mess of the cycle. For me Clomid had no side effects but I totally understand you.
Just dont think "I just want to be pregnant".
You need to continue swaying for your little dream gender, thats why you are here and thats why we talk, REMEMBER??
Just dont give up yet.
Be a little more patient.
I always say....
"Good things come for those who wait"

[djmommy]

You are right and I do believe that God is waiting for the perfect time and the perfect egg for a beautiful little girl! . I do know in my heart that this long journey will be totally worth the wait!!! For both of us!

[MyByC]

YES, it will! 🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀

[MyByC]

Let us know if you still spot or if ANYTHING!
😘😘😘

[djmommy]

I will for sure!! :-)

Dear, my AF is here today and I am 9dpo. Spotting since yesterday, 8dpo.
It never happend to me for my cycle to be so short. I usually have a 28 days cycle with ovulation in day 14. And I had 30 day cycle while on Clomid the months before.
I think my linning got really thin and bad.
I'm really curious in finding what happend in your case Mommy?

[djmommy]

Oh I am sorry MyByc! Were you being monitored on Clomid? How many cycles did you take it? I still have very light spotting, more like brownish and only when I wipe so still no answers. I am 9 dpo today.

[MyByC]

Same here, 9dpo. I took September October, then Off, then December again. In September I spotted 2 days before brownish, October 5 days before brownigh and this month dirrectly red bright blood yesterday spotted and today AF came. In Novembet I did not spot while off Clomid and my cycle was 28 days.
I think the linning got bad. Next week I'm going to doctor. See what he says. The months prior went to U/S and everything was fine but my doctor does not know I took Clomid. Each month I had many folicles but in September had 2 big folicles, October 1 folicle, November 1. In December I did not went anymore. I wanted to relax. This begins being too stressy for me. I ate a lot for holidays and lost weight instead of taking...my body went crazy 😔

[djmommy]

Sometimes weight gain and or loss can have an effect on your hormones as well so your lining may be ok. Glad you are going to the doctor. You should probably let them know you took clomid so they will do an u/s to check lining and everything else. This journey can be so stressful. People tell me all the time to just relax and don't think about it and it will happen. For me, I just can't do that. I don't know how!! I do know that when AF does come and a new cycle starts I will not be temping or using opks. Just gonna actually TRT and relax before my appt.

[MyByC]

All my friends have girls. They all told me to relax and just do it once the cycle is over 1 day 1 off(I understood this is healthy for sperm). They all did it same way....only one had 1 attempt at ovulation with 7 days abstain but because her husband was out of city 😄 So dunno'. I keep my diet same. I think this is the most important now but my weight is really low (55kg for 178cm tall).
I think sport is also very important. And I restart it today but Clomid, for me, is a No No from now on. I just want to have normal cycles without spotting, emotions, stress and others....I will dtd once at 3-4 days and see what we get. I think that being healthy is the most important right now. My husband is really upset of all this situation.

We, boy moms, as a good friend would say, are build being stressed, more energic and making from anything small a big problem.
If you check girl moms, you'll see how relaxed are 😄😄

Good luck! Keep me updated

[djmommy]

I am really trying to be more relaxed. And I actually have over the last few months.
Good luck to you this cycle! New Year with a fresh start!!!

[MyByC]

Good luck to both! 😘😘😘

[atomic sagebrush]

Good luck ladies!!!!

[djmommy]

CD 1 today at 11 dpo. Here is to a fresh new start!

[MyByC]

I'm so sorry Mommy :( Let's hope for a next BFP!

[atomic sagebrush]

FXFX for lucky January!

[XXforhubby]

Oh DJmommy, I am so sorry! I really hope this next cycle is it for you! I am hoping things needed more time to reset coming off of the Clomid! I am praying 🙏!
