Maiden, I'm very sorry. I'm in the same boat I'm sure spotted when I wiped today very light but temp dropped but still above cover line but I have had a headache for 2 days so I'm pos AF is making her appearance. Good luck to everyone else. Fx for BFP next cycle.
Maiden- I'm so sorry AF is on her way [emoji20]. Hopefully with Clomid and better times BDing, your BFP will be around the corner!

Oh nooooooooo Maiden and gagirl! Hope your wrong and af does not show up. Am still here no af, tested this morning and test did not work no control line, tested just now and negative, I know it was not the first urine so am confused, not sure what is up with my body, ectopic ? Would it take pregnancy hormone longer to increase an ectopic? Am so sure am pregnant, frustrating x o
Girlie, not sure about eptopic don't know much about that. Fx that you are pregnant and you get your BFP soon. Hate your test did not work this am just try not to stress yourself out. Test again in the am. I'll update if AF truly shows up which I'm sure she is going to.
Thanks XX, Gagirl, hugs!
Girlie, I would not jump to tue conclusion of an ectopic, especially without temps confirming O. It's a million times more likely (at least! )that you Oed later than you think, or implanted late, or both, than that you have an EP. Especially don't let a broken test worry you. Go test with a new test!
It is true that BFPs often show up late, but a more reliable sign is a faint BFP that doesn't get darker. And ectopics are pretty rare anyway so like I said, very unlikely. I've had an EP, I never got a BFP with urine, but I had a uterine twin so not a normal EP. I have never not seen a control line when testing with HPTs. But manufacturing errors do happen.
So sorry ladies that think af is around the corner. I know that feeling well. I know I always take a day off when I start and then think of all the things I can do to help next month. I really hope you get good news soon.
I'm 6dpo and have been depressed about only one follicle since I most likely have egg quality issues with such a high FSH. I did notice a lot of cm yesterday and the first things I saw when I googled "5dpo increased cm" were women who ended up getting bfps! I never check my cm so I don't know if this is new but I'm going with it to be positive since I have such a hard time with that. Good luck everyone else!

Sounds like a good sign Quinn, fingers crossed you get your BFP. What day do you plan on testing?
So how do you mark your chart in fertility friend if you had a MC or CP? I never really got a positive on a test at home, I started bleeding on Dec26 so FF marked that as CD1. Then I started bleeding again on Jan 6th which is when I got blood work and found out I was pregnant but having a MC/CP, I marked that bleeding in FF also but it didn't start a new cycle. Confused as to what CD I should be. Any thoughts?
Am out, af arrived! Am gutted, fingers crossed for the rest of you, let's have some bfp' s to cheer me up x o
Oh girlie, I'm really sorry. Take the day to treat yourself.
Tfahn- one cycle when I was ttc dd2 they noticed I had a cyst and I had to do the trigger shot to get rid of it. That made my cycle start over after 14 days. So I would suggest starting day one when you bled again. I'm not one of the experts though.

tfahn, I would consider the first day of your second round of bleeding CD1. There is an option on the FF website to manually start a new chart.
Quinn, yay!
Girlie, I'm so sorry. My AF cramps just kicked in big time so I'm expecting to see AF any moment. I haven't spotted since this am but I've been very dry since which is usual for me just before AF. I can't believe my breasts and nips are still sore, what a tease argh!
I just asked Atomic about my chart, she said that CD1 wouldn't be until my HCG is back to zero so I am just going to leave it as is for now.
Sorry AF arrived girlie :(
Tfhan, I would leave it for now and label the cycle with some details. It's not really going to be a normal cycle so keep it out the stats.
Girlie - so sorry af arrived ☹️
Quinn - fx your cm is a good sign. We need some bfp's this month.
Maiden - really hope af doesn't arrive.
My opk's have been getting a bit darker so hoping today I get a pos. Would work out really well as all 3 kids are going to my parents for 2 days so dh & I would be able to get a morning bd in with no worries about kids waking etc.

Thanks everyone, am amazed how upset I am, my husband does not understand, he just says but you were not ever pregnant, he just does not get it. Well am keeping my fingers crossed still for you Maiden, I need cheering up! X x
So sorry AF arrived Girlie! Our bodies really do play tricks on us though, especially when we're symptom spotting for pregnancy signs! My chances each month are extremely low as DH insists on pulling out, but every single cycle I have multiple days of nausea, tender breasts, increased sensitivity to smells, etc. Last cycle I even threw up randomly at 12dpo! I think it's just totally normal and due to increases in hormones, etc. Just when we're not TTC we don't pay attention to our bodies as much LOL! And actually, when I got my last BFP, I had no symptoms at all and I feel a lot of women say the same thing!!! Crazy symptoms = not pregnant, No symptoms = pregnantQuote:

For those who have taken clomid did you find ovulation was roughly the same day each cycle? I ovulated cd18 last month I am trying to do e4d so my next bd will be cd14 an then cd 18 but really I need to see how my opk are going... The e4d thing is going to be tricky for me I think as I really want my one attempt at pos opk.
I o'd days 19, 19 and 18 with clomid. Each cycle was several years apart so I have never taken it consecutive months.
Purple , were you prescribed clomid ? did you get pregnant from taking it? If I don't get pregnant this month ( attempts at pos opk) then I think I am just going to dtd every day over my fertile period as I really want to get pregnant now , ds2 is 3.5 and I am 32 I feel I need to get pregnant NOW!
Ladies, AF arrived at 11pm last night, instead of in the am right before I wake up as it usually does. So when should I take my Clomid? If I'm aiming for CD3-7, should I take it late the night of CD2 or early am CD3 or later on CD3? Let's say AF arrived 8-10 hours earlier than usual. Thoughts?
Soooo glad to have that last cycle done with! Essnce, I totally agree with you, we go crazy when TTC. I never have early symptoms when I'm actually pregnant.
DF is not thrilled about every 3-4 days but we'll do the best we can.
I got pregnant with DS1 the first time, got pregnant but m/c 2nd time and last time was October and I got a bfn. I was prescribed it the first 2 times for long irregular cycles.Quote:

Maiden, if AF arrived last night then CD1 is today. Anytime after 12 noon you count as next day apparently. I would stick to taking clomid 3-7
Purple, thanks. I know CD1 is the next day...just worried the time difference might matter hormonally. I really don't want to O late again this cycle!
I don't think it will matter. I took it 6 to 10 (evening) last time and o'd a day earlier than taking it 5 to 9.
my first cycle on clomid was a piece of cake. Not a problem at all.
This cycle OMG I am going insane. I am so moody and angry I can really feel it too. I really feel if I get a bfn this month then I want to give up. I have spent the whole afternoon crying for no real reason, I just feel sad/angry/moody. I can only put it down to the clomid? I can not do this every month I will end up divorced!! Maybe I should just stop now and forget about a 3rd baby........
I can relate to this, either my first or second cycle of clomid ttc#3 I lost it I was so angry I actually got in my car and left my house. I got grumpy at DH for something and actually stormed out. I just went to the shops for a few hours but that was so not like me. I have never in my life ever done anything like that, DH and I have anyways communicated great we ever fight with each other, but omg clomid that cycle was crazy. But I only had 1 cycle like that the other 5 months trying on clomid I was much better.Quote:

I found Clomid made me really emotional and irrational too, mostly the second round. I would freak out about little things that DH was doing that I felt wasn't helping our chances of conceiving and looking back, I'm sure it made no difference. But, it was lucky round #3 on Clomid that I got my BFP. Hang in there ladies! ❤️

Girls! I'm officially out this round will try again at the end of the month. AF made her appearance this AM. Good Luck to everyone else. Praying for you all.
Sorry Gagirl. :( At least you, I and Girlie are all cycle buddies.
It makes sense that the 2nd cycle in a row on Clomid would have worse symptoms. Bc the effects linger for a cycle or more, so it's an echo effect. Alternating clomid & natural cycles would probably be a lot more tolerable and would make the most of the clomid.
That's a good idea Maiden! I felt like on top of physical symptoms, there was the disappointment that I thought my first round would be the magic ticket. When it wasn't, mentally I was exhausted and disappointed, which only added to it all.

I am not usually like this either!!! I wanted to just go hop on a train and go yesterday.. I hope today is a better day but really I have been feeling this way for a few days now. I just really want to get pregnant this cycle!!
AF arrived for me this morning too. Going into what will probably be our last cycle now, depending on dates. It's been a horrid week.
Taytum, I can't imagine having extra hormone fueled disappointment on top of the normal already hormone fueled disappointment! Eeek. You poor ladies, I hope I'm able to avoid that with alternate cycle use.
Ttc, I'm sorry hun. Hugs to you. But nice to have FOUR of us on the same CD or a day off. Fx we all O in a timely manner and get nice dark early BFPs.
Who all is about to start Clomid, what dose and CD? I will start on CD3, Monday, at 11am I think.
Dang so sorry ladies. 2016 has not been kind to us. February is a great month to conceive, very romantic!
Af is due on dh's birthday this Thursday. If she shows, I'll probably wait until the next day to tell him.

I probably should wait longer but am not getting any younger and all my babies were born in even years so at least am attempting to get another in an even year. Going keep posting because I want to be updated about what is happening with you guys and although I hope some if not all of you will be bump buddies not cycle test buddies but if not I will be happy to have your company when I try again. Question about timing, if it is every four days, does the day you do bd count as day one of the next count of four or is sex then next day is day 1, day 2 day 3 and the sex on day 4? Also do you have start at a particular point in your cycle or can you try and predict o and then work back? Thanks for information x
Aw I'm sorry so many ladies got AF. :( Good luck to you all this cycle! I'd really love to see some BFPs here soon!
I already asked Atomic this but wanted opinions/thoughts from you ladies. I'm on CD10 and am still having spotting. AF was a normal medium to light flow from CD1-5 then it turned into very light brown spotting CD6-8 (not even worthy of a sanitary pad). Yesterday and today the spotting has turned to pink with some red. Has anyone had this happen? I don't know what is up with my cycle. I don't know if everything is just out of whack from my two chemical pregnancies and weaning DS2 a month and a half ago after nearly 2 years of nursing.
ksmom-- I nursed DS1 for 2 years as well and the last few months of our nursing relationship I had a lot of random midcycle spotting. It never happened again after that so I always assumed it was the hormonal changes from nursing less and then weaning. I even went to the doctor about it, thinking it was a thyroid problem, and everything was fine.
^^^ same thing happened to me as well. I nursed DS2 until 20mo and the few cycles leading up to one one in which he had weaned, I experienced a bit of mid cycle spotting, lighter periods, and cycles that were becoming more regular.

Thanks ladies! I really don't even know what a normal cycle would be like for me considering I've been either pregnant or breastfeeding (or both!) for the past 4.5 years. My cycles haven't had a chance to regulate themselves since I got pregnant with DS2 when DS1 was still nursing. Atomic is having me start on iron since I'm having the bleeding along with other things like lightheadedness and fatigue.
