Atomic, do you know whether I'd have the same chance of getting pregnant in a cycle where I ovulate without Clomid as in a cycle where I ovulate with Clomid? Is it only the fact of ovulation that matters and all ovulations are equal, or does Clomid make a bigger, better quality egg?

Oh that's great!

We don't know that you can't get pregnant without Clomid! AS long as you ovulate, you can get pregnant. Remember you're still fairly close postpartum to your last birth, your body may just not want to get pregnant yet.

To answer your question, ovulation IS all that matters. Some do believe that Clomid helps to make a better egg or a better corpus luteum but it's not proven, and even if it is somewhat true, the fact is that people get pregnant without Clomid even after having used it with previous conceptions!

I’ll be looking for your bfp on July 5th Mrs English. Hoping for you

I have gobs of pink swayers take iron. I don't think it sways by much if at all, since we have the best results with people on diet the longest and they are also the ones who end up on iron!

Yes!

I think I'm 9DPO today, and I just know I'm not pregnant. Now I've been wrong about thinking that I was pregnant when I wasn't, but I've never been wrong about thinking I wasn't pregnant when I was (even to be fair, there was only one opportunity for that).

I read somewhere that a fertilized egg sends out signals that prepare the uterus lining for implantation. So my theory is that when I feel pregnant but don't get BFP it's because I had a fertilized egg that didn't implant, and that in cycles like this where I feel totally unpregnant, it's because there's not even a fertilized egg. I could be wrong though, I've never been that good at Biology.

I hope you’re wrong Mrs English.

To top it off, I woke up from a very vivid dream that I got my period. 😂

It’s amazing how our thoughts influence our dreams isn’t it. Another reason I wish I could just flick a switch to turn my “thoughts” off at times

I understand why you think that, but it's reallly not a thing. I have "felt pregnant" in months I could not possibly have been pregnant and had NO IDEA I was pregnant with my 4th or 5th until I was 7 and 5 weeks along, respectively (and I was an expert by then, had been preggo several times, and still didn't know!)

Progesterone rises after ovulation and this makes symptoms. Some months you're more "hormoney" than other months (and some evidence indicates you are more likely to conceive in the "hormoney" months) so it may be the case that you may have early pregnancy symptoms in months you do conceive, but it's NOT that you're having actual pregnancy symptoms but simply that you were making a lot of hormones and made a better egg and/or your body was better set up for conceiving in those months and the symptoms were NOT from pregnancy, but indicated that your body was more likely to get pregnant in that month if that make sense.
