Purple, technically CD17 or later is considered 'late' but different drs can have very different stances on what is considered late. I personally think you should be Oing before CD17 on Clomid, especially as you have PCOS tendencies as I recall. Did you see my comments on triggers earlier?
Sharon, I don't see a pic...
I had a big temp drop today. Yesterday when I temped my thermometer made a strange fast beeping sound which I think indicates critically low battery (digital therms always flash low batt for me, even with fresh batteries just put in). Then this morning I temped, got a very low temp (97.78, so just below cover line), temped again and got a slightly lower temp, then put in a new battery and got 98.2, which is still very low for me at 6dpo but a lot more reasonable. But since very early this am I've had a weird lower backache that almost feels like mild AF cramping, and just a half hour ago I started getting some sharp, shooting pains in what feels like my left ovary region, though I think I Oed from the right this cycle. I often get these intense ovarian likepains starting a few days before AF so combined with the almost cramps and big temp drop I think AF is going to come soon again, like last cycle if not earlier. I haven't had an 8 day LP in 6 months and I usually have a couple per year...so I'm due for one.

Maiden I hope temp dip this time doesn't mean af is immenent.
Sharon none of those opks in first pic (inc cd9) are positive IMO. You last pic is getting closer, I wouldn't be surprised if its a positive tomorrow or next day! Let us know how it goes and post all the pics you like that's what we are all here for :)
Edited to add: As an afterthought do you have pcos? This picture of lines like that on opks is ringing a memory from ages ago and I think at the time it was asked if the person had pcos? Sorry I hope I'm not throwing more confusion in here but this feels like dejavu iykwim :)
Edited again to add ignore the above. Someone else (possibly with pcos) would have said something by now. Hope I haven't caused any confusion and hope your opk is pos next couple days! :)

Quick question do you use the same brand opks every cycle? Edited the last post after asking this.

Purple, I'm sure doctor's opinions vary on this but my RE doesn't consider O to be late until CD21. My Feb. cycle I O'ed on cd17 and while it wasn't considered late, the only problem with it was it skewed my cd21 progesterone results. I think if you're O'ing around cd18 with Clomid and that's still earlier than when you'd O on your own, then I think it's fine.
Signingmommy, SMEP sounds like a great plan! Best of luck and baby dust!
Sharon, not quite positive yet but getting close!
Maiden I hope you're wrong and it's not AF on her way!
-
Sharon - none of those look pos to me. Hope they will be soon!
Maiden that's interesting about short LP. I had a pos opk a week after I had mirena out and then I had spotting for three-ish days just over a week after the pos opk. I usually never have spotting. I wonder if it was short LP and light period. That would mean I'm about cycle day 7 now. Interesting.

Inforthree, does that mean you'd be 14dpo now if the spotting WASN'T AF? I wonder if maybe you never actually Oed and the spotting was breakthrough bleeding. But very light AFs after the Mirena are common too.
Sharon, it looks like you are still aways off from a pos OPK, though they can turn dark very suddenly. This cycle I had a light line that stayed the same for a week then BAM suddenly turned blaring positive the next day, and faded out a lot by the following day.
-
Yep that's the other possibility. I should have added I don't feel like AF is coming and BFN. I agree, maybe I never actually oed. I've been doing opks throughout and haven't had a second surge. Only time will tell! It's very strange for me to have spotting or breakthrough bleeds.
Sorry you think AF is on the way! Glad you're back, your comments are very helpful!

I had my scan done and updated over in the pregnancy talk section under my post "freaking out" lol (I was spotting yesterday).
TONS of baby dust to all you ladies!!! This has been such an amazing, supportive group! :hugs:
-
Sharon-- none of those are positive yet, but looks like it's getting close. I've definitely had super negatives one day, then blaring positives (test line darker than the control) the next day. What times are you testing? I usually do around 2pm and before bed when the lines are getting close to positive.

This is my 5th cycle of clomid. I have read a little about famera and i am going to my dr today to see if i can try that instead of clomid.
Will famera harm my girl sway??
