OK, For those of you that take Clomid, Do you have to go in for ovary checks? My RE wants me to come in at the end of this week for Progesterone bloodwork and to do an internal examine to check my ovaries to make sure the Clomid did not cause any cysts. For some reason it just scares me to have the internal examine for fear that it might disrupt things in case I am pregnant this cycle. Didn't know if this is normal procedure or not. I thought maybe they did it by ultrasound but the nurse said no they do an internal exam.
Have any of you had to take Progesterone supplements? I think I only ovulated Sunday or yesterday and fear if I go in on Friday and my Progesterone level isn't high enough by then they will want me to supplement. They tried to push it on me in the past, my level was 10.8 on day 7dpo and I read that anything over 10 is normal but they still wanted me to supplement even before having a BFP. I fully believe that when you get pregnant then it will signal your body to make more progesterone.

I don't believe in P supplements and y8u shouldn't need them on Clomid. I don't see why you need an internal exam but I wouldn't be concerned, as pap smears which are more invasive are ok in pregnancy. They won't be anywhere near your uterus. I think you might not have Oed yet tfahn, since you still haven't had a proper temp rise. I would err on the side of caution and not get your P tested too soon. I certainly don't think you could have Oed before yesterday.
I had SO much EWCM yesterday. It was like I was 20 again! Still plenty today but not gushing like yesterday. Anyone else had a lot more fertile CM the cycle after Clomid? It's such a change after how dry I was on it. I got a TRUE positive OPK today, both on my strips and a CB digital. Only my 3rd one ever in over 6 years of OPKing! O should be tomorrow, CD17.

Maiden, I had great EWCM this cycle on Clomid but I drinking lemon water twice a day for 2 weeks so I think that helped and took Mucinex for a few days too.
I wouldn't let them do a pap when I was pregnant either :) ( I did have it done about 2 months after giving birth though). I just read a few stories of women having paps in early pregnancy and then having miscarriages that same week, I'm 99% sure they they are unrelated to the pap but I am overly cautious.
I really don't believe in progesterone supplements either. When they wanted me to started taking them at 7DPO when my level was in the normal range, it just threw red flags at me that they are supplement happy. I am not a good patient, I don't follow doctors blindly. I research and form my own opinion on matters before proceeding.
Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday, today's temp rise is a normal 1 dpo temp for me. After 6 days in a row of BD'ing I better have ovulated! Didn't plan on that many times but it is just the way it ended up.

Pinklady - fx you get a bfp soon.
Tfahn - no experience with Clomid but does sound like they are supplement happy etc.
Maiden - wow, sounds like some great fertile cm there. No experience with Clomid though. I guess you didn't have any luck getting any donor sperm.
I posted my chart above, looks like I'm out, I will expect AF to arrive today going by that drop in temp. Dh & I had a big argument last night so feeling really crappy & then to wake up with a temp drop has really topped things off.

I'm really sorry pinklady fx for a late bfp.
Farmgirl hope your temp jumps back up for a sneaky bfp. How long is your lt phase usually?
Any luck with donor sperm maiden?
Tfahn yay for 1dpo!! I'm confused? How do they do an internal to check for cysts? I also would've thought this would be done with u/s?

Pbn normally my lt is 12-13 days. 12 dpo today so was expecting AF tomorrow or Friday but wouldn't be the first time for it to be a bit shorter.

I have had ovary checks while taking clomid, tfahn. I usually have them around 8dpo or so. He just checks to make sure I don't have a cyst on my ovaries and then gives me a prescription for more clomid. It is honestly really disheartening because it always made me feel like I was out that month. I am not doing it this month since my hsg said my tubes are blocked. I don't think I went in on the cycle I miscarried either. I could be wrong though. I was never given Progesterone supplements, although my RE was going to try doing a second hcg shot this cycle. I obviously didn't end up doing that. Your chart looks really similar to mine, lol! I hope that is a good sign. I don't remember ever having such a weird temp chart!! I've had so many big dips this cycle. FX we both actually ovulated! :D
