TTC BLUE in October?

TM - My normal cycle was exactly 4 weeks in length. I would get AF on Sunday, 2 weeks later get a positive opk on saturday arvo or night.....then AF again 2 weeks later on Sunday. When taking Clomid I think I O'ed slightly earlier as I woke up saturday morning with a +. My Dr said to start testing at 10dpo....but that depends on how short your cycles are. If it makes you more comfortable just start after the last tablet. Use the SMEP....attempting every second day from cycle day 8 until positive opk...then 3 attempts...miss a day and attempt again...then in 2WW. Hope that makes sense.

Clomid works by blocking estrogen receptors at the hypothalamus, which is an important "hormonal control center" for the body. When this happens, the hypothalamus is stimulated to release follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH). These are the naturally occurring ovarian stimulants, which prompt ovulation in a normal cycle.

I felt fine when taking it...got hot flushes and felt a bit weird in the head but I took mine before bed which reduces the symptoms.

I need to get my head round all this. Thank you so much P of P - I wish I could just download your knowledge! CD8 means 8 days after stopping clomid? No, it can't. Oh I'm confused! Must now read up on timing. I'm familiar with all the diet/supps stuff - I just wasn't expecting to do this so soon!

After I stop clomid I use opk's every day and as of 8 days after clomid I start ttc every other day until I get a + when I ttc x3 that day then every other day again? Is that right?!

Sorry to ask such basic questions Princess of Pink!

CD8 is 8 days after the first day of AF.

Jana- yes!! We need too! I will probably keep popping in here and there to stay refreshed on all tje info!

Good luck!!

The lower doses seems to be less dramatic but still effective. I read about several people on other forums who got prego using 25mg after 12+ months of trying as well.

Good to hear it worked for you PoP, I had no idea you were trying for so long. Isn't is bizarre after having several kids to not be able to get pregnant independently??

Its interesting that your clomid side effects weren't too bad. Mine were horrific on 100mg and I still felt the aftermath of 25mg this past week. But again, I am very sensitive to all meds.

Fingers crossed it worked for me. I am 8 dpo so we'll see what happens next week!

Wow finally found ppl who would ttc blue in october!!

I have a 4 years daughter

I have been in HE diet for 2 weeks now!

I hope that october is my month

BLUES dust to you all 😍😍😍

Ah - but I'm taking clomid because I haven't had an AF for 4 months.... I'm taking it to wake my ovaries up, basically. I wonder how I work out timing in these circumstances. I suppose I just can't do the SMEP....

Adia - I managed to persuade my doc to let me take 50 instead of 100 clomid. I feel better about it now.

Tm29 I hope everything works out!

Pop- I think this is your boy!
