Boysway- her surgery is mid December.
Pop- is this your first sway?
Hi spicy! Welcome to the group! I believe the recommended sodium would be 2300mg. Sorry for your loss. Hopefully you can get a strong healthy boy this time!Quote:

Tm I think maybe it was a combo of the high dose fosh oil, mucinex for 5 days before o, green tea, coconut water smoothies. And you have the option of adding preseed as well. Heaps of people have concieved boys on clomid. Atomic was aware i was using it and the only change to my plan was smep. I am 37 which was why my Dr wanted me to use the Clomid to start with.
Jana - this is my 4th sway but first time doing that GD way.

Thank you Princess of Pink. I'm feeling a lot more hopeful again. I will def add preseed AND do the robitussin. I don't yet understand how clomid works. Do you ovulate a few days after taking it? If so, do I take robitussin WHILE I'm on clomid or after I stop? Do I use preseed only on the actual attempts?
As for timing, I'm completely lost. I'm assuming you use opk's from the day you stop taking clomid? Ugh - so many questions! If you feel like answering any of them I'd be so grateful.
green tea! I keep forgetting to drink it. Will have it every day for a week.
I'm kind of panicking here. Having thought I wasn't going to ttc for ages because of delayed ovulation, I'm now being advised to do clomid right now and ttc straight after. I'm very very nervous! Are any of you nervous?
I do get a lot of ewcm with green tea usually- but this time I dried up. It usually delays my O which drives me nuts. For me, I have been getting ewcm every month even while I wasn't on the HE diet- but I was taking fish oil and vitamins. I think the fish oil helps a lot as well as drinking loads of water. I have taken robitussin in the past during the actual sway. Eating well and getting good nutrients will help but for me, the key is fish oil.
HTH
I had almost no ewcm while conceiving DD1. But, ever since her, I have it regularly, but the most while doing the HE diet.
TM - My normal cycle was exactly 4 weeks in length. I would get AF on Sunday, 2 weeks later get a positive opk on saturday arvo or night.....then AF again 2 weeks later on Sunday. When taking Clomid I think I O'ed slightly earlier as I woke up saturday morning with a +. My Dr said to start testing at 10dpo....but that depends on how short your cycles are. If it makes you more comfortable just start after the last tablet. Use the SMEP....attempting every second day from cycle day 8 until positive opk...then 3 attempts...miss a day and attempt again...then in 2WW. Hope that makes sense.
Clomid works by blocking estrogen receptors at the hypothalamus, which is an important "hormonal control center" for the body. When this happens, the hypothalamus is stimulated to release follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH). These are the naturally occurring ovarian stimulants, which prompt ovulation in a normal cycle.
I felt fine when taking it...got hot flushes and felt a bit weird in the head but I took mine before bed which reduces the symptoms.
I need to get my head round all this. Thank you so much P of P - I wish I could just download your knowledge! CD8 means 8 days after stopping clomid? No, it can't. Oh I'm confused! Must now read up on timing. I'm familiar with all the diet/supps stuff - I just wasn't expecting to do this so soon!
After I stop clomid I use opk's every day and as of 8 days after clomid I start ttc every other day until I get a + when I ttc x3 that day then every other day again? Is that right?!
Sorry to ask such basic questions Princess of Pink!
CD8 is 8 days after the first day of AF.
Jana- yes!! We need too! I will probably keep popping in here and there to stay refreshed on all tje info!
The lower doses seems to be less dramatic but still effective. I read about several people on other forums who got prego using 25mg after 12+ months of trying as well.Quote:

Its interesting that your clomid side effects weren't too bad. Mine were horrific on 100mg and I still felt the aftermath of 25mg this past week. But again, I am very sensitive to all meds.
Fingers crossed it worked for me. I am 8 dpo so we'll see what happens next week!
Wow finally found ppl who would ttc blue in october!!
I have a 4 years daughter
I have been in HE diet for 2 weeks now!
I hope that october is my month
BLUES dust to you all 😍😍😍
Ah - but I'm taking clomid because I haven't had an AF for 4 months.... I'm taking it to wake my ovaries up, basically. I wonder how I work out timing in these circumstances. I suppose I just can't do the SMEP....Quote:

Tm29 I hope everything works out!
Pop- I think this is your boy!
Welcome to the group business woman!

I'm not holding any hope :( It's morning here and my temp has dropped below the coverline. Bbs aren't as sore either :(
Tested, negative :(
Hugs boysway. You're not out until AF arrives. :hugs:
Thnx Jana , Adia , Boysway
Boysway , I hope your baby boy meant to be in October ,
Try to imagine yourself holding him 😍 and buy boys cloths ..
Keep feeling positive✌
Jana - thank you so much x
TM and Adia - I really hope it happens quickly for you both.
Boysway - You're not out till AF arrives!!
I will be right there with you in two weeks Bluesway :( I don't feeling confident with my recent try
:hugs: yogi. I hope you're wrong for your sake.
I guess with me attempting next month it would make the readings I have had closer to accurate
Danielle, she is from The Spiritual Shack but, for some reason I can't find her page. She said boy. Birth or conception (likely birth) in 18 months. Which would make it June from when I had the reading done.
Cheri22, boy and Feb birth/conception or find out
Readings by Tracey (Facebook), Girl birth/conception/find out June
Readings by Rayne (Facebook), conception/birth/find out she said number 14 so it could be the date, weeks or months. If it was 14 months from the date of the reading, that means May.
Sandra Gibbs, I think I came across her through here or another forum when Google searching. Boy with Sept/Oct conception and birth month in July.
Vera Joy, Girl with birth/conception/find out in May/June.
I sure hope Sandra is right with hers. October will see me ovulating somewhere from the 1st to the 4th of October making me due anywhere from the 24th of June (Miss 9's due date) and 27th of June (Miss 9's actual birth date). If I am successful I wouldn't be surprised. October seems to be my 'lucky' month as I've had two babies born in June already (although my SIDS angel was actually due July 16th). If I do my usual and go late (as I have with my last two), bub could be born in July.
Btw, Danielle from The Spiritual shack is back on Facebook. She deactivated while she moved house.
That SUCKS boysway :sad: you should still test again.
What's new with you Yogi?Quote:

How are you doing? How is the diet coming along?
Jana, the last 4 temps excluding this morning were all taken later in the day due to sleeping after night shift. There is still a minimal chance but the sore back I am experiencing is telling me af is around the corner. Af is officially due in two days (Monday for me). I won't be testing anymore this cycle. Plus, I am all out of tests and no money to buy more.
yogi, bugger to dh knowing. He doesn't need to know when you're ovulating though ;) Unfortunately, I think I will need to tell dh when I am ovulating this cycle to get more attempts in.
Yogi I think its better if DH knows , as Boysway said to make more attempts
Opk is driving me crazy
I tested this month just to have an idea for what im doing
In day 16 i had cramps , i tested and I had faint line, in day 17 the line got darker but not darker than the basic line. In day 18 i got faint line a gain
So when did i ovaluated?
I had no idea
Btw in day 12 i had ultra sound and it was 19 mm
