Newbie, TTC a girl while on Clomid

[Star4012]

So I just took my OPK, and got this... what do you think? It's cd13 for me... 4 days after taking Clomid... I usually ovulate early (as early as cd9) but I know Clomid can push it back some. So do I dismiss this or BD tonight?! We have abstained since Sunday morning.

BD tonight to cover yourself for the next couple days and keep testing.

If you get another positive within 2 days stick with the attempt you have already had, if you get a positive 4 or more days out from this attempt have another attempt. If you're in the "no man's land" of 3 days, follow your gut instinct remembering that more attempts may be better for conception but may be more blue friendly, fewer attempts may be more pink friendly but lower odds of conception (do whatever appeals to you more) if you can't decide, flip a coin!

Thanks Atomic! I'm so excited that this could be it!! Do you think since I had 2 neg opks the past two days that clomid could still give me a false positive? just curious on your thoughts. Does my hubby need to stay shallow still like shettles recommends? Also, do most ppl on here wait about 15 mins before dumping? I usually don't do jump and dump-- I can go all night if it helps my attempt.

Probably not but you can still get a false positive from your body "thinking about" ovulating and then gearing up to O and not doing it. So you surge and then your body is like "yeah not yet maybe" and then the egg doesn't drop.

No shallow release. I feel like it's never been proven to sway (and in fact a lot of our data about pH and stuff has shown that all the Shettles stuff is nonsense) and worse than that, it's really preventing conception for people.

Most of us start off at 5 min. and then dump but it's up to you. Personally I got my girl staying down all night, but technically that is supposed to sway blue.

We BD last night, I avoided O, and laid in bed all night without J and D. I was very crampy all night and didn't sleep well. Was actually a little bit uncomfortable BDing with O pain.... this morning O pain has vanished, but I don't see a temp spike yet on my chart.

I started Bromelain 500mg this morning. 1 pill a day until 5dpo to help with implantation if everything was timed right. Fingers crossed!

I don't love the bromelain (your body knows how to implant babies or the entire human race would have died out before pineapples were ever discovered) but follow your gut!

[Star4012]

Yeah, It was something I just found out about the other day... I just read some articles online about it... Any idea if Clomid affects your lining enough that something like Bromelain will help?

[atomic sagebrush]

I don't think bromelain ever helps (with the exception of those who have blood clotting disorders for whom there are better options anyway) and by that point your lining would be grown anyway. It's fine if you want to try it, just don't take it any longer than 5 days.
