Oh I guess i did see this, to answer your question on your other thread it is normal to hve more severe O pain than normal. Especially in your case since you're on 100 it is not at all surprising to me that you are feeling it. Just skip cardio a few days til it improves.

Thanks atomic - so it's been a week since I've done any cardio bc of the cramping I'm 1dpo. Should I try and jump back in with jogging (all cramping has stopped like immediately after O) or should I walk for the hour? Or so nothing?

Ok sounds like a plan - I'll walk for 3 days then start the jog/walk thing for a few before trying to jog for the whole hour. I was mainly worried about T levels

The first two days I took clomid (50mg cd3-7), I had trouble staying asleep (I took the pills immediately before going to bed) and I had very mild headaches. They were so mild that I didn't even take anything for them. I just noticed they were there. Then the third night I started getting night sweats and during the day I could feel my ovaries. They weren't really painful but just kept making little twinges (I could also be crazy and it could have been wishful thinking, lol). The fourth night I had worse night sweats and the next morning I got a "high" on my cb advanced opk. The fifth night I didn't have anything. I did get a little hot while I slept but nothing out of the ordinary. I got another "high" on my cb advanced.
The few days after I finished the clomid, I had a lot of energy and got a lot done. That's probably just because I was trying to distract myself during the wait to O, lol! I haven't had any other symptoms since I finished the clomid.
So, I'm on cd15 right now and I haven't gotten a +opk. I'm thinking that I o'd yesterday though because I had a lot of cramping and was very bloated. Today, I am nowhere near as bloated and my opk was not as dark. I got another "high" on my cb advanced today which makes for 9 "high" days.
I finally got my surge at the end of cd15/early cd16!! It's the most positive opk I've ever had! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/02/fd0b38dec2cc5286260b15aee7e39d53.jpg

I love your idea below, Two! I'll update daily as well to help.
1st cycle, 50mg, days 5-9:
Day 1: I don't feel any different. Besides the fact that I have more watery/slick CM than I ever had at CD5! Otherwise business as usual.
Day 2: No real symptoms during the day again. At night my breasts/nipples were sore, and some ovary twinges on right side, but I feel those regularly without Clomid.
Day 3: Woke up last night in sweat: first hot flash! Had a slight headache in the morning, but could be from tossing and turning. Weird dreams! Creamy CM today and a kind of lack of appetite. No horrible side effects though that I can't live with yet.
Day 4: Aside from not sleeping as soundly, still no real side effects. I feel like I'm not as hungry (no good for boy sway!). And I had a lot more sticky/creamy CM than I have I past cycles today, especially after working out!
Day 5: Slept a lot better! Woke up with small headache and hungry! �� Glad it will be last day. Temps seemed steady thought first cycle as well.
Edit: I ended up Oing on CD17. Really bloated and could feel lots of action night of O. I was very lightheaded the day after O and throughout the 2WW I had sore BBs and a few other pregnancy symptoms, but ended with AF. Day AF came I was miserable - hormonal, crying, and so. Much. Cramping. Also my period was heavier that day.
On that note, I was bumped up to 100mg this cycle and feel 100% better and different. Only like 1 hot flash throughout. Don't know why it was better this round, but it definitely was!

I debated posting since I am only on day 2 of the regimen (50 mg CD 3-7) but decided to go ahead and post and I'll just update this post as I go so I don't have like 12 different posts about the same cycle!
For people who may read this in the future, I am on my first cycle of clomid (this go-round anyway). Dosage and timing is already included above.
CD 3; Day 1 on Clomid: Nothing out of the ordinary but I had a lot going on that could have easily masked anything that wasn't basically screaming "hey! I'm here!! Pay attention!!" Lol.
CD 4; Day 2: Got a hot flash about 30 mins after taking my second dose. It lasted 15-20 mins and then I was fine. I had a couple more hot flashes through the day, but the worst was in the evening. Usually I just get overwhelmingly hot. Like I have a really bad fever and can feel it all over my body. But this time I was pouring with sweat... about as bad as during my cardio. That was pretty much everything.
CD 5; Day 3: A couple minor headaches. Very, very slight... almost imperceptible "pinchy" cramps on left side in ovary area, late in the evening.
CD 6; Day 4: More, stonger pinchy pains on left side. VERY low energy (don't know if it is clomid related but thought I'd add as it's out of my norm). Irritable (could be because I am so tired).
CD 7; Day 5: SO. TIRED. Pinchy pains have switched to right side.
CD 9: Still very tired all the time... has to be because of the clomid. Some mild twinges in ovary area from time to time. CM changed to a very thin kind of creamy... like a hybrid of creamy and watery.
CD 12: OPKs all over the map so far this cycle. Minor cramps here and there.
CD 16: STILL no +OPK. Lots of cramping on my left side today and one pain dead center of my lower abdomen that only lasted a split second but it momentarily took my breath away it was so intense.
CD 19: Still no O :( Cramps today identical to AF cramps... very confusing. Then later I started having pains in my left side. It was a throbby-type pain and went all the way through to my back (also left side only). The pains kinda came and went- like there was nothing pain-wise, then I felt it building and then when it peaked it kinda felt like my ovary or something was going to pop like a balloon, then it declined back to nothing again... sometimes just for a few seconds before it started building again, sometimes for several minutes. It lasted a good 45 mins to an hour. An hour or so after left side pains stopped I had several sharp stabby pains, in my V area, in rapid succession, like a machine gun. The whole thing lasted like 3 seconds then stopped as abruptly as they started. It was really weird. O pains maybe?! :pray:
CD 23 First +OPK 26126 :pray::fingers:
CD 24: 26140 Mild cramps on both sides. Was expecting more of the cramps I had CD 19, but not the case.
CD 25: Temp shift of .28 degrees above CL.
CD 26-CD 32 (1DPO-8DPO)No specific days, but super crampy post O... esp on 7&8 DPO!
10 & 11 DPO BFP
12 & 13 DPO BFN
AF arrived in the wee hours of the morning on what would have been 16 DPO.

When I first came off the pill and started clomid I was severely angry and moody on the last day of taking clomid. The cycles after weren't as bad just moody and I get headaches.
I had 4 cycles of clomid until I made DS2.
This is now cycle 4 of clomid Ttc #3 hopefully it's lucky like last time.

I don't know what day I would o, bc of going on Clomid and ttc right as soon as I got my first Af after PP. And since then I've only had 2 cycles. One was like 58 or more day cycle and the other was o ing on cd 18 (pos on 17) and then a crappy 8 day luteal.. Not a lot to go on yet.

So, cd16 = ovulation for me. Super, extremely painful!!! I was in the car (luckily as a passenger) when the horrible O pains started at about 6pm. They lasted for about 45 minutes and then I was a little sore the rest of the day. I also woke up nauseous and it didn't go away all day. The nausea has continued today (1dpo). I'm hoping it goes away soon.

Cycle 2 with clomid. I'm on cd7 which is day 3 1/2 of 100mg Clomid (I puked up the 1st pills, so I don't know how much of them actually ended up in my system). I'm super crampy today!!! I had horrible hot flashes last night. My CB Advanced says Low today but if I didn't know better, I'd think I was going to O in a day or two! This is nuts!! Hitme, I can definitely see how you are unable to exercise around O time. I didn't have this cramping last cycle.

On to round 2...
CD3 (Clomid day 1): Crushing my pill this time hoping for a better absorption and response to it this cycle than last. Still taking 50 mg days 3-7. Headache in the evening.
CD4; Day 2 Ovary pain, fatigue.
CD5; Day 3 Fatigue. Migraine.
CD7; Day 5 I have had a couple hot flashes but seem to be having migraines in lieu of hot flashes this cycle.
CD 9 Same creamy/watery hybrid CM that I had this time last cycle showed today. Symptoms- low energy, a cramp here and there, sensitive nipples and a continuation of the headaches I have been having so far this cycle.
CD 10-12 Holy O pains batman!! Breast tenderness.
CD 13 Follicle study today. One huge 3 cm follicle on left ovary and one medium sized, but likely too small to O, follicle which is also on the left ovary. +OPK!! I am actually going to O early!! Radio silence on the symptom front with the exception of tender breasts.
26611
CD 14 Worst O pains EVER! Could barely function. Worst of it lasted about 2 hours, but constant ache and tenderness continued the rest of the day. Bloated & breast tenderness.
CD 15 More cramps, not quite as bad as CD 14 but bad enough to need a pain killer in the AM. Cramping stopped completely midday.
CD 16 Massive temp shift due, in part, to CD 15's temp dip. The 2WW begins...
1 DPO-7 DPO Random cramps here and there, but especially on 7 DPO. "Lightning crotch".
8 DPO Tender nips. Tender BBs by evening.
9 DPO Headache all day long. Fatigue, even after a nap. Cramps.
10 DPO-endCramps... LOTS of cramps. Headaches too.
BFN and AF showed giving me a 14 day LP (my norm is 12).
Moving on to next cycle...

I'm on cd17 of clomid round 2 and finally got a temp rise. I was gearing up to O on cd13 but then didn't for some reason. I even got a peak on my cb advanced but then I didn't get a temp rise, so I know I didn't ovulate. I got another peak on my cb advanced yesterday. I'm expecting really bad O pains today to confirm ovulation.

Personally, if I knew I wouldn't O for 3 days I'd wait to BD at the 1.5 day point to make sure sperm had a chance to get where they are headed and have time to "recharge" before the egg dash, but late enough to know my attempt would be well timed. As far as J&D snd such we go middle ground. We do deep penetration (DH wouldn't have it any other way lol) with hips propped after BUT J&D after 5 mins. GL.

I think your questions might be exceeding my limited knowledge base lol. Personally, if you truly can pinpoint O as precisely as you say, I would BD no less than 8 hours (personally I'd actually shoot for at least 12, but that is just me) before when you believe you'll O to allow for a margin of error since it's impossible to know the exact moment of O w/o watching it on u/s. Atomic has said time and time again (lol) that timing does not sway so you want to BD in time for your attempt to count and not worry about timing.

It was a pretty quick surge as far as being actually +. The next day it was an *almost* positive all day and the day after that it was an obvious -.
A +OPK means that *generally* you will O 12-36 hours from your first +. If you chart you have to watch for the shift to know when u O'd. If you don't chart, most ppl on here seem to count the day AFTER +OPK as O day. It's not 100% accurate but it'll give you an idea of where you are cycle wise.

You cannot tell when you ovualted on the basis of O pains. It is possible to get severe pains before, during, and/or after ovulation.
Timing doesn't sway.

I had hot flashes and headaches at the start of my cycle (took on days 1-5 then 2-6). Had +ve OPK 4 days after last pill both times so ovulated on roughly days 10 and 11. I felt quite bloated around ovulation. First cycle BD was really painful as my cervix was swollen and tender, subsided by second cycle. I experienced severe pain after ovulating the second time (about 4 days post O) and woke in the night in agony in both my ovaries (I thought they were going to explode, the pain made me need to vomit and I felt like I was going to pass out). I ate lots of salt and drank Gatorade (recommended for ohss) and it took a few days for the bloating to go but I was still very aware of pain in my ovaries. Ive not taken it since but have been told I may have to do alternate months but am reluctant as the pain was excruciating!! I have 2 friends who have taken it, and they've not experienced anything like me and from what I've read my experience is uncommon. Also, my moods/temper were HORRENDOUS [emoji23] and CM basically non-existent on it [emoji107]

Poptart, I have never heard of anyone taking it days 1-5 and only rarely days 2-6. I wonder if that might have had anything to do with your experience.
The only person I had with OHSS was given 150 mg by a doctor, without any monitoring.

I took it on days 1-5 (though was advised to take on 2-6) as a study I read concluded a higher conception rate in comparison to 5-9 (so did did it off my own back) My SIL and best friend were also prescribed on days 2-6 but we all attended the same clinic so must vary from doctor to doctor as I have read most commonly is days 5-9! I started the FGD and I think that contributed to be honest, though I can't be sure. I remember reading something and it made sense. Who knows! I do know if it happens again I won't take it again! My SIL used hers on 2-6 and fell second month and found out it's a girlie today! so I hope I can still take it.

Thanks for letting me know that! I think we have better rates of conception with 3-7 vs. 5-9, so it makes sense, but it does make me take pause given your experience. :) Glad you're ok!! I suspect that you'd be just fine on CD 4-7 or 5-9 because a normal number of follicles would start to develop and then would experience the estrogen block and then rise

no, they'd have to run a toxicology screen to see any drugs you have taken and I think the Clomid is out of your system by now anyway.

CBC is just a blood count. They use them to check for infection (elevated white cells), and anemia (red cells) and stuff like that :) You are in the clear :)

Your tsh levels can fluctuate too if you have hashimotos (testing for tpo antibodies). What were your tsh levels, if they were high then the dr would increase your thyroid meds not decrease. My endo likes to see my tsh levels @1-2 since I am ttc.

Hi all, popping in to introduce myself! My name is Caz,
after months of failed attempts to get pregnant my husband and I sort out private fertility treatment.
If everything is ok with my hubby on Tuesday, on Friday I take provea (hope I spelt correctly) to induce a period then start clomid on cd2.
I had a internal scan in friday, showed thin womb lining and no sign of ovulating, yesterday Evening I had a bleed now today it's spotting, the nurse was not at all rough.
I have no idea what's going on with my body, all sorts of things have been running through my mind. I don't think it's my af as I don't have all the usual symptoms other than stomach cramps that I have had on and off since I lost my temper on Wednesday, which I don't normally get when af is due, and I have not been getting my af til after cd50, I don't think it can be a break through bleed as it was only Friday they said no sign of o.
I did have symptoms of o over the new year so I'm thinking could it be implantation bleed but then nurse said lining was too thin? Miscarriage?thinking unlikely as if I did o over new year would have only be 8dpo, smear test 2 weeks ago came back clear for anything else.
Anyway is there any advice you ladies can give me would greatly be appreciated!
Will this bleed delay anything? Is there anything I can do to increase the chance of clomid working 1st time around? Is there anything else I need to know about?
I'm so nervous?

Sounds like breakthrough bleeding to me.

Beautiful rainbow I answered your question in the other thread you asked it in.
There are things to do to increase odds of conception on Clomid, but many of them sway blue so I would give it a month without doing those things so you are in with a good chance of a girl. It very well may be that all you NEED to do to improve odds of conception IS the Clomid so I hesitate to have you add 700 things to up odds of conception, since 699 of them sway blue. :)
