New 2018 Clomid AND Femara support threads!

Attempt planned for tonight. Still only negative OPKs including this mornings', but this morning I got really good ewcm and a lot of it. No pressure in my ovaries yet, so I don't think I could ovulate today, but if I make an attempt tonight then it would still be fine if I ovulate Friday or Saturday, hopefully before Sunday.

Just to let you know- the cycle I fell pregnant with DS2 I got NOT a single positive opk, and it was no cheap one but clearblue digital
But I tracked temperature and so I at least knew that I indeed ovulated and the pregnancy showed that too LOL

Yes pregnancy is usually a pretty definitive sign that a person has ovulated!

Now getting ov signs on day 19/20. No pos opk yet.

Is it normal to ov on different days with Femara? I had pos opk on day 16 last month (first cycle on it) and I guess I just assumed it would be a bit earlier or similar on the second month. Worried it means I will have a weaker ovulation but I guess might not necessarily be the case.

I tend to ov on the later side naturally - don’t recall an earlier ov than cd 19 naturally but then I only have a few cycles to go on as I got pregnant with my boys after only a few natural cycles.

Many thanks for any advice!

I hope if not pregnant my lp is as least longer than 8/9 days this cycle.

Yes, it's totally normal. The odds are sky high that you will not ovulate a)the same day as normal or b) the same day from month to month on the fertility medicine (and this is TRUE no matter what your doc tells you! Doctors give out SOOOO much bad info on this front it's redonk)

This does not mean anything negative about your ovulation. Doesn't make any difference at all.

Atomic! Crosshairs on ff off again I feel, when do you think I ovulated, day after positive opk?

Link to chart below. Due to have another e4d attempt now.

How important is exercise in the days just after ov, I am just so tired I feel I need a bit of a break

Well, DH and I made an attempt last night, really today around 3 am. Last evening and today I had "dark negative" opks -- still clearly lighter than the control, but a lot darker than they were before. I'm wondering if that's the darkest I'll get.

Today I still have ewcm, but a lot less than I did yesterday, so that is interesting. It seems like like cycle I stopped getting ewcm two days before temping said I ovulated.

I have a small amount of pressure in my ovaries today. Really hoping I O today or tomorrow, but I guess it's in God's hands now.

Best of luck! We are pretty much cycle buddies I reckon as I think I am v close to ov at day 22. Had attempt last night though so I don’t think we will chance another. So hard to get the e4d timing to coincide with ov!

In what way do you feel they are off? Maybe a day early??

You are not trying to get the e4d to coincide with anything. That is why e4d WORKS is because everyone wants to manipulate their attempts to fall on a certain day when the reality is we don't KNOW a) when O occurs or b) what cycle day will even be best for conception regardless of when O occurs. People end up outwitting themselves aiming at BD on a certain day around O when for all we know, they don't even O then and even if they do, they might have had a better chance the day before or the day after.

Just put ovulation out of your head totally and have sex every 4 days in the Monday/Thursday pattern.

Yeah a day early, I don’t feel it possible to have ov when i got my first positive opk at 11am on the day it says I ovulated. Is it?

Thanks atomic. Good point!! Who even knows what is best? Conception is a very inexact science it seems! I just wanted to check something on E4D as you mention the Monday / Thursday patten. Is E4D Monday and then leave three days and have sex on the Friday? That is what we have been doing! Or is it Monday is day 1, tues and weds are 2 and 3 and then you’d have sex on the Thursday (day 4)? So if it was a week starting Monday you’d have sex on the Monday, the Thursday and then the Sunday?

Thanks so much!!!! You are such a great source of support.
