Really hope to join you soon! XX
Good luck, Maple!!! Crossing my fingers and toes this is your month!! ♥
I have an appt on Oct. 25th with my OB-GYN to discuss things. I've pretty much dropped everything except vitex this time.
Hey Beadin!Quote:

Maybe you won't get that far anyway, you have not ovulated this cycle yet? Good luck!
I take my Clomid tonight, eek! Can't wait..
I am still on the IG diet (modified) and taking B6, Aspirin, Calc, Mag.
No messing around with gels etc, and DTD daily over the fertile period this month..
I think I will put DH on LR for a week.
Surely this cycle is mine!?
Thanks for your support! FX for us XX
Well, if you typically O late, and you're taking Clomid CD's 3-7 (which I think is when you said you're taking it?), then it should bump up your O date I bit, I believe. Will you be using OPKs?Quote:

I go back and forth in my head all the time about whether I think the baby is a girl or a boy. The wait until the gender scan is going to be soooo loooong, ugh! This is the most anxious I have ever felt in a pregnancy. I wish there was a way to turn my mind off about the gender, but unfortunately there isn't! I need to find something to keep me busy, LOL! ;)
Beadin, I really hope the appt with your OB may help things, but even better, I hope you won't even need that appt because you'll be pg by then! FX for you, girl!!! :awe:Quote:

I wasn't monitored on my Clomid cycle, so I can't really say anything about that. :shrug: I hope the Clomid works well for you, though! FX for you, Maple!! :)Quote:

But, of course, I'm still going crazy wondering if the baby's a boy or girl! I wish there was a way to find out much sooner, but I guess I'll just have to try and be patient. ;) I'm just very excited and happy to be pg. :) Especially before the holiday season, so now I can eat yummy Thanksgiving and Christmas foods with no guilt! :bigsmile:Quote:

After almost 3 years of TTC our DD, I am on Clomid for another cycle. I have taken it, I believe this is my 5th month, but I have been really strict with my documentation of every little twinge. I took it on CD5-9 and I Oed on CD18 which is late for me. Usually it's around cd14 or 15. I have been using my fertility monitor, but it never caught the LH surge, and just stayed at HIGH even when I got my +OPK on CD17 at 6:30am and then after 2pm that day. I have heard that can happen that the monitor does not pick it up because of the estrogen or something like that. We started DTD CD15-18, could not get another try in on CD19 which I am really upset about, but we caught O day, so that hopefully is enough. I layed on my stomach this cycle as well due to my tipped retroflexed cervix/uterus, hoping to help the swimmer pool around my cervix. Another girl did this who has the same problem and she got her BFP, so maybe it will help me this month. I dropped everything and am hoping the Clomid is enough swaying for me to get my girl. I don't know if this helps at all, but I will let ya know if I get my BFP this month.
