I would probably count it as the next day. The good news is that the Clomid is way more forgiving than people think and so it really doesn't matter if you are a day off in either direction.Quote:

Can Clomid/Femara give misleading OPK results during cycle?

Yes, while you are taking them and for up to 3 days afterwards, you'll get a false positive OPK. After that point, you should get normal results with OPK.Quote:

I will post my sway when I’m out of the ‘danger zone’ as we all know too well that things could turn in a blink of an eye. However I remain positive!
The only things I feel nervous about are the attempts. As I posted earlier on, we had several attempts around ovulation as we just weren’t falling quick enough and I had no more Clomid being prescribed. Also, I introduced the PCOS girl diet in the week of ovulation so I had a tad more protein and fat, I introduced some chicken & eggs.. but overal I’m happy!
Thank you for all your support guys.. it’s proceless.. il be in touch!
Xxx
Congratulations! [emoji322]Quote:

Woohoo xtina I'm so happy for you!!
Wishing you the very best of luck for a healthy pregnancy and tons of pink dust!!
Should I do jump and dump and a hot bath for DH with my attempt?
Only have clomid for this and next month.
I would compromise and skip the hot bath and do J and D after 10 minutes since u only have 2 Clomid months. :)Quote:

If I wait five days after my last pill to start the OPK, that will be CD12, and I'm worried I could miss my surge. But I know Clomid can cause false positives, so I'm afraid if I start doing the OPK too early, it could be wrong, we have an early attempt, and I don't want to add more.
Atomic, thoughts? If you're thinking E4D, would you think start early, considering my last surge at CD10? (I'm currently on CD7.)
Thanks for any advice!
In Spain I can’t find clomid only Omifin. The pharmacy says it’s the same as it has clomiphene, anyone knows if is the same?
It is the same thing..Quote:

If you want to do e4d I'd have you start that the day after stopping Clomid and just keep going with it. I like you guys to be settled in on the pattern before you could ovulate so you're not tempted to try and jockey it around to try and get it to fall on a particular day. Then just keep going with it. I would suggest not even doing OPK with e4d so you aren't tempted to try to get your attempts to fall any particular way.
yes it's the sameQuote:

I'll start taking the OPKs 3 days after my last pill. I actually didn't get any false positives with the OPK last time, before the surge on CD 12, so hopefully I'll have the same luck this time. :fx:
Thank you!!!
Do you have your period while you are on clomid or femara? Is omifin 50 ok? Or should be less? Is only for swaying pink, we don’t have problems to conceive . Thx
Yes you will still have your period. You only take Clomid for 5 days of your entire cycle.Quote:

Thank you!!! I’m incredibly nervous. My best friend is a bit further along than me & just found out she’s having a girl. Having done nothing to sway at all! If anything she was swaying boy!Quote:

I know, it's so irritating when that happens but the reality is, most people have a boy and a girl or a girl and a boy just that easily, they get pregnant twice, doing nothing obviously any different, and get different outcomes each time. :)
Hi everyone!! What ovulation strips do you use? I already got my clomid (omifin) and start the diet in 1 week... will try to conceive in december-january. Is the LE diet the same as LEPCOS diet? Thx
Most people use Wondfo, Babi, or Clearblue.
No, LE Diet and the PCOS version are not the same. They're both LE Diet (have about the same limits of cals, protein, fat) but the PCOS-type LE Diet has higher protein and fat intake and uses healthier carb sources - whole grains, fruit, and veg instead of sugar and white flour.
Hi Atomic! I'm in Clomid cycle #2 (days 3-7).
We BD late night on CD 11 (based on logistics of DH being gone and I didn't want to miss it).
I got a positive OPK on the morning of CD 12, all day, followed by another dark positive OPK on CD 13 (I use the strips). Day 12 I had mild cramping, and Days 13 more severe cramping for several hours, which is finally dissipating today (Day 14). I'm not temping, so I can't be sure of when I actually ovulated. Is it possible to get cramps like that AFTER ovulation?
The upside is there was ample EWCM, so even though it was early-ish, maybe it helped. Also didn't J&D.
Agh sorry I missed this JJ. YOu can have cramps after ovulation, absolutely. I often do. But I would still have attempt again just to cover in case O is delayed.
Well, boo. We didn't have the second attempt. If this cycle doesn't end with a BFP, we'll do E4D from here on. Not gettin any younger over here! :DQuote:

It has to do with a) the fact that we really don't know how any of this actually works and b) the origins of one attempt.
in the early days of the site, no one had guessed that number of attempts swayed pink. So we were having people keep going doing things like timing, frequency, antihistamine, jelly/douche, supplements, all of which cut odds of conception hugely, and had them add attempts to get pregnant. This was our lowest success rate of the site for pink - 58%. Our results showed us that none of those things were even working - same number of people got girls with and without them.
Thankfully, we just happened by chance to keep track of the number of attempts people were doing and realized something very shocking...people who got pregnant from just one attempt had 70-75% success rate (depending on the month the number went up and down a little but in that range) This fell all the way down to 60-65% with 2 attempts, and then plummeted to 40-45% with three attempts. This was all in people who were doing tons of other things (all of which we proved were totally neutral in results, not swaying pink or blue) to sway pink and having otherwise great sways.
And in the meantime, LE Diet and exercise were clearly working! It was a huge puzzle and the only solution to the puzzle appeared to be that number of attempts was swaying strongly in some way we still do not understand.
So once I noticed that (because at that point in time we were all desperate to understand what we could possibly be doing wrong to get such terrible results!) I started having people reverse course, keep one attempt as long as possible and drop the other stuff (which again, was not working) to boost odds of conception with the one attempt. Our results IMMEDIATELY within the span of like 2 months, did a 180 and went up and up and there it has stayed since.
Long story short, one attempt has completely proven itself to me. I don't know how or why it works, but I do believe based on all that, that it DOES work. Our results have declined on one attempt over time but that is because (IMO) a LOT of people fudge on other things, start trying too soon, etc and now rely on one attempt to carry the day for them. But having seen that history I still maintain (and likely always will unless I get some hard data disproving it) that one attempt is best for pink.
Now, e4d is what I consider to be one attempt. But the thing is we don't know how or why one attempt even works. And we don't have the same quality of data on e4d to prove to me that it is really as shizztastic as the one attempt is. So, I don't trust the e4d anywhere near as much as I do the one attempt and so I can't in good conscience have you guys start off with e4d except for the handful of people for whom that makes the most sense, of course).
As it sits here and now based on 10 years of results and observations I believe one attempt is more proven reliable than e4d is and thus that is why I recommend starting off with one atttempt and only going to e4d after at least 2 months with one attempt. :)
Hi ladies, how are you all?
I’m now venturing into my 7th week of pregnancy and have an early scan booked for this Monday! Woohoo ..
So my question is, shall I ask the u/s tech what side my placenta has started forming for Ramzi guesses? Or is Ramzi just rubbish ?
Thanks guys!
After having seen people send Dr. Ramzi $10 to guess on their ultrasound and he guessed wrong, and learning that Ramzi never published his "study" for independent review, I can no longer believe there is anything to it at all and suggest not even bothering with it.
Well, I'll tell ya: I think I got my BFP. And with just the one attempt! I'm not completely 100% as I just got a very, very faint line, so I'll test again tomorrow. But fingers crossed this is it!Quote:

Well obviously by "I'll test again tomorrow", I meant "I'm going to buy another one immediately and will test today." Which I did. BFP again!Quote:

Right!? Somebody bring ME some chicken nuggets for once. :)Quote:

How long should I wait until we can actively start trying again? My doc wants me to try naturally for a few months before starting Clomid again, and if I’m totally honest, I feel so nervous about Clomid.. I can’t help but think I did something wrong... I know it’s not the case , but anyway, do you think maybe this miscarriage will kick start my cycles back to normal? Are you more fertile after a loss?
Thank you for all your support through this xxxx
