A lot of people do get it on line but yes I have to be very cautious and cannot suggest doing that or give any advice about where or how (but Google is ur friend. ;))

Do still try this month, and you never know what might happen with the doc. Sometimes they'll surprise you - they seem strict but once you've taken it once and no one died LOL they are more likely to give it to you again. :)

Yes, I've been getting my period consistently. That's been somewhat normal, although it was getting lighter/shorter/earlier for awhile (like two days long starting on Day 25 or 26). After this last cycle of Clomid, it's back to 5 days starting right on Day 28. Not sure if that's connected to the Clomid.

Either way, we'll see how this month goes and will revisit next cycle.

If you're getting your period regularly the odds are very high you're ovulating. I still think there's a chance she'll give you the medication when she gets back from vacation! :fx:

Refresh my memory, how close postpartum are u now??? I don't want you to waste that Clomid if there is not a high poss that you'll conceive just yet.

I am one year postpartum.🎉😮😃

Today I still had some ewcm but it was mixed. Thursday and Wednesday it was pure ewcm, and Wed was my one attempt. I did OPKs Tues, Wed, and today (Fri), and Tuesday and Wednesday we're light negatives, and today's was lighter than the control but close to it. I regret not testing yesterday.

So if my 1st attempt was Wednesday, should my 2nd attempt be Saturday or Sunday?

Saturday.

1 year is ~probably~ within the realm of able to conceive fairly easily so while it's at your discretion of course, I think it's fine for you to do Clomid again when you're ready.

Okay, we will dtd tonight just to cover bases, but I'm going to mark yesterday as O day (based on nonfertile cm today + two thankfully brief episodes of progesterage), and declare Aug 10 as POAS day.

Hi! New in this thread...
starting Femara tomorrow and kind of scared I dont know why.. anyone here taking it for swaying purposes only??
Ive been TTC for 3 months without Femara or Clomid now with no luck... I dont know of it was the 1.5/2 day cutoffs, the Rephresh or just not meant to be those months.
But Im hoping Femara will help my chances of conceiving as well as swaying girl.. I have been blessed with 3 sons but have been dreaming of a princess for quite a while now.

Im horrible at diets but I can manage to skip breakfast and go vegetarian.
Please send me pink dust!! And same for all ttc here!!

What is it that you are scared of?
I am TTC a girl after 2 boys. I just had a miscarriage. My Dr recommended me waiting to try again for two months. I restarted the LE diet, exercise, coffee and wine. I was hoping to get Femara because of my age, but was only able to get Clomid. I am nervous about the chance of twins.
I’m pretty sure Atomic recommends dropping sway tactics like Represh when using Femara and either DTD every 4 days and/or at positive opk. Wishing you luck! 🤞🏻

Just because my doc didn’t give it to me... But he’s going to monitor me anyhow for other reasons... but This is my last baby and after two sway opposites, I guess Femara is worth a try.. and if it’s not a girl, I’ll still be satisfied I tried my best.

Hi! Welcome!

I was nervous too the first time I took Clomid, but it turned out just fine. I don't know anything about Femara, but I'd have two tops for anyone starting Clomid so might be the same: 1) take it at night right before going to bed to reduce side effects, and 2) stick with the smallest dose that doctors prescribe.

BTW, I am 100% with you on diet. I am just too lazy to stick to any kind of diet even ones where I'm not hungry at all. I don't stop dieting because I'm hungry, I stop because I want cake. I've been wanting to lose the last five lbs since January with no change. A few times I've lost 2 lbs, then gained them back. I do manage to be vegetarian, but only because I don't like the taste of meat anyway.
