No. I think my lining is fine. I can't find baby aspirin anywhere anyway. Do I stick with cd5-9 on the clomid? I was thinking of starting tonight which is cd4.

AGh sorry I only just now saw this, either way was fine.
If you have no medical indication taht there is any prob. with your lining or implantation (and this is NOT having a miscarriage, this would be several repeat chemicals in a row) then there is no reason to take baby aspirin.
If you did have issues with lining, there are way better ways to treat that other than aspirin.
No I have no known of lining or implantation issues. I went ahead and took the first pill on cd4. What does starting it earlier cd2 or cd3 do differently from starting later on cd5?
Thanks for your insight and help, I really appreciate having such a great site to have for support this past few months!
Some people think it ~may~ help up odds of twins to take it earlier, and women who usually ovulate SUPER early may have to start it quite early to be sure they "head the egg off at the pass" so to speak and get that Clomid in there soon enough to help trigger a good ovulation. I personally have only seen a couple people take it CD 2 and I have my doubts about using it that early, you do need SOME estrogen early in the cycle to help build a nice lining and I have fears that starting it too soon might make for a cruddier lining.
CD 4 is actually a nice day to start it! Good compromise between CD 3 and 5, which is when most people use it.
When should I start testing with opk's??? Will the clomid cause false positives in opk's or hcg tests?
I've never heard of clomid causing false positives on anything, but it can delay or speed up O I think. I always start my opks on CD10. Good luck!Quote:

About how many days after my last clomid pill(tomorrow night) should I ovulate?
It seems to be different for everyone in different months but there is a calculator here Clomid Ovulation Calculator - When Am I Fertile? | BabyMed
Atomic- it's cd1[emoji45]
My dr upped clomid to 100mg. Have I seen you post something that the clomid lasts two cycles? I'm hesitant to take it this cycle. Honestly, I think it's causing me to gain weight & I am not playing that game. I have stayed 1800-2000 cal a day and cardio for 70-85 min a day 6-7x a week. It's not adding up. Is that a normal side effect?

tarasue, I'm wondering if it's water weight? Clomid can cause that. If you don't lose it by the time AF is done then I'd think it wasn't water.
I also personally gain weight in the Winter unless I'm extra strict. So even without changing my cal intake my body just holds onto stuff. BUT you would notice this happening in previous Winters.
I am so sorry Tarasue! I would see what Atomic has to say. I am always hesitant to take more of something if a lower dose may not be working.
Hugs! Sometimes my body holds onto to weight to keep things working properly. This cycle, I could not get rid of the extra 4 pounds. Seriously! I eat the same 1400-1600 cals and exercise 6-7 days a week too! But things have run more smoothly this cycle. Maybe this is what your body needs to give you a sticky BFP after what it has been through.
Hang in there! Be kind to yourself right now- you have been through so much heartache. I hate to see you dwell on something that won't make a difference. Your body is set for pink with all you are doing. Remember, our weight does fluctuate 5 lbs either side and that doesn't effect a sway.

Maiden- we have to be twins separated at birth! The same thing during the winter happens to me! This is getting creepy [emoji6]!Quote:

Hopefully I'll bring you better luck this time and bring in a sticky, pink BFP for you! I just placed the order [emoji8]! Third time's a charm!

Yup, twins. I hate my Winter weight gain! I like my Summer weight loss though :)
I'm sorry XX!

Thanks for the encouragement girls! Xx, so sorry Af came for you too. I do remember we got our first bfp's together, fx we can do it again this month. I hope we all get bfp's, every single one of us have tried so hard and been focusing for months for this. There are lots of "upsets" as well in this group, hopefully we can turn things around. I think I may try to stay away from this site more this cycle so it's not as all-consuming. , and I can be more relaxed this month. Fingers crossed for you all!

The effects to a pink sway seem to last 2 cycles. But you are needing it to help ovulate and in your situation I think you ought to take it this month.
The Clomid is a kajillion times better sway than the weight loss, and I think this may be stemming from the ED mindset and not from anything you need to worry about for your sway. It doesn't matter if you gain a bit, it's fine. NO worries.
Your metabolism can change and make you hold onto weight if your body "wants" to. I agree my weight just hangs around in the winter sometimes.
re amount of Clomid - are you being monitored???
No monitoring. I got definite positive opk on cd 18 I believe.

My husband says I needed to gain that weight, I just get so fixated on a number and can't focus on being healthy. If you remember I was also having hair loss problems, that has gotten completely better having gained weight back, it's all coming in gray but gray is better than the bald spots I was getting!!!

ARGH I don't like them upping your dosage without the monitoring.Quote:

I think you need that weight!! Hang on to it, it's your ovulation security blankie. Every time you feel like it's too much, give it a little hug and remember it is helping to preserve your ovulation and up odds of pregnacy!!Quote:

Sounds good xx!
Thanks Atomic, it did take my body twice as long to ovulate when I was down those pounds, so maybe there's something to it. I'm still 10-15 lbs lighter than when I convinced my boys.

I am guessing I ovulated. I had a positive opk, ewcm that changed to lotion-like cm, lots of cramping. I have never temped & I don't really want to start, one more thing to obsess over.Quote:

I took 50mg cd 4-8 last cycle, what are your thoughts on this cycle? I thought about moving it up to cd 3-7, thoughts?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I would compromise and take 50mg days 3-7. You know the 50mg worked before, and I am always hesitant to take high doses of medicine. Plus, your OB isn't monitoring you.
I'm sure Atomic will offer her thoughts!

The more I take, the more chance if multiples? Part of me would love twins, part of me doesn't want to do anything to add risk to a pregnancy. If I did the 100 mg, do you split it up 50mg at morning and 50 at night or do all 100mg at once?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I really think you should take just 50mg again, no later than CD3-7. I might even consider CD2-6 since you Oed on the late side last month. I would NOT up the dose to 100mg without being monitored, and especially not take 100mg earlier, unless you are okay with multiples! I wouldn't risk it though as I'm terrified of triplets. Regardless of dose, you should always take the full dose all together once per day.
I'm sure I gained a few lbs (must be at least 3, could bd as many as 5) JUST in the past week as I've been barely fasting and kinda snacking. I've been ravenous, sick to my stomach hungry oftentimes, though, so I believe my body needed/needs the extra food and cals. I especially have been craving fat & protein. I very much think our bodies know what's best and I try to listen to mine even I don't really approve/agree. I think atomic & XX are very likely correct about you needing the 5lbs. IF they aren't just water weight from the clomid.
Today is cd 3, I think I will take the first dose tonight. 50 or 100..... That is the question!!! Can you take it like you do soy ISO. & increase the amounts. For example take 50mg the first two night and 100 the last three nights?

I've never heard of clomid being taken at different/increasing doses on different CDs like SI, so I wouldn't recommend trying that. The most experimental dosing I've seen is taking it for more than 5 days, I've seen up to 10 days.
I did a little googling (so feel to ignore me) but it sounds like some women are put on 100mg of clomid right from the start. I would just do the 100mg of clomid and hope for the best. You can't take it many cycles so if your Dr. gave you an increased dose I would take it- but I understand your hesitancy, especially since you aren't being monitored and your Dr. has made questionable choices in the past. Good luck on whatever you decide!
Yes I do remember that. :/Quote:

3-7 is good too. No one is really quite sure of the difference.
Do look on the bright side in one arena - tons of gals on here would love a doc who would throw Clomid in their general vicinity LOL.
Keep that weight on and let's move forward from here. :)
They typically have had bloodwork or some other medical history that indicates it, or are being monitoredQuote:

100mg is standard starting dose for ladies not Oing on their own, but since tarasue is I think she should really stick to 50mg.
Some drs think taking it later reduces chances of multiples but that isn't proven. But it does affect when you O, as O happens on average 7 days after your last dose. Some drs will assign certain days so that you O around the time you usually do, or later if you're Oing too early. CD3-7 is the middle ground.
What's ohss?
