I don't mind dropping some sups saves on cost I told the consultant what I was taking and she didn't seem to have a problem with them? But then I have just been reading something about clomid and thin womb lining that clomid makes it worse the nurse said on Friday that my lining was thin! Does the lining thin out coming up to af or can it stay thin until coming up to o?
Just noticed you replied to my thread too Thankyou.xx
Also that bleed I had last night has slowed to spotting this morning, I have been worrying that it was implantation bleed, but then my head is telling me that it cannot be as nurse said lining was too thin

Yes I will be monitored closely consultant said I would take the 50mg clomid cd2-6 then I will have a scan 10 days after, making it cd 12 is that right?, to see if I responded correctly to treatment!
If I dont o at the 10 days then I will be scan every couple of days!

Normally you O 5-10 days after the last clomid tablet but not always. For me it was 8-10 days.

I don't know much about uterine linings but I would think it would be thick just before AF and then it goes thinner when you have AF and then gets built up again. There have been some posts about trying to improve linings so maybe have a look to see if there is anything you can take to help.

What does pink swayers going HT mean?

[Frilly Lady]

HT means high tech, so going on to do IVF with pgd where they can select their desired gender.

Hi Thankyou for your reply!
I would really love a girl so am swaying for a girl and have been since April 2015, but every time I tried something on the girl sway something crops up. I did spoil myself over xmas and new year, but putting that aside I have been trying to eat healthy as possible, lose weight which I have lost over 10kgs since April, the only sups I'm taking now are: folic acid, cinnamon, cranberry, calcium and magnesium.
My diet has been mostly brown bread, rice,natural youghurt, pasta and chicken, grapes, strawberries when I can as I don't like them, cucumber broccoli, peppers and some sweets on cheat days, organic milk.
We were bding every 3-4days until I found out I had PCOS and the in sept our GP told us to bd every other day. Now finding out I start clomid next week i feel it's all been thrown out the window again I now have so many sway questions, don't know where to start again, should I carry on BD every other day should I go back to every 3-4 days, should the hubby realise every day or just BD every 3-4days?

Clomid is a great pink sway tactic. Here is the progression that I typically recommend with Clomid, I think I posted this in another thread so apologies if I am repeating myself. You obviously do NOT need to do it this way, I'm just tyring to demonstrate how I think it is best to progress on clomid from fewer attempts to more attempts. Do not just jump right in, first month out, going right to SMEP and count on the Clomid to sway pink for you. That's not how it works.

First month or two - BD one attempt at positive OPK.
Second month or two - every 4 days
third month or two - every 4 days plus one attempt at pos opk
6th month on Clomid - SMEP

DO NOT have hubby release every day. Doesn't work and really cuts odds of conception. In months with one attempt, have him do regular release every 2-4 days. In e4d months, just have that as his release.
YOu're already doing the most important thing to increase the chances that you will get pregnant with your PCO - you are on the Clomid! I think you should at least give it a try with Clomid + sway tactics before you start actively swaying blue in order to get pregnant. Too many people will go that way and it really hurts your chances.

I do not recommend cranberry for any women who are swaying. In this case I know more than the "experts" because I have seen a kajillion women taking it in lots of different circumstances and a)it doesn't work and b) causes so many side effects that it is frightening (including increased risk of miscarriage and bleeding in brain and stomach that may be fatal). YOu are very likely going to have very severe O pains on Clomid if you are on cranberry at the same time and it does not increase your odds of conception anyway. It also makes CM dry and hostile which Clomid can also do (and did I mention, it doesn't work??).

I answered this in another thread I believe, but if am recalling your situation correctly, the time in your cycle you were in you would HAVE a thin lining and the reason she told you that was to indicate you had not just ovulated and you were not about to, either.

I think you had a bleed from low estrogen which is in line with thin lining

What does pink swayers going HT mean?

In the diet thread??? It means people who are still investigating whether they are going to sway or do IVF for gender selection, and thus they need a diet that is good for fertility but still a wee bit pink friendly if possible.

Thankyou atomic for your replying, to be on safe side I'm have now dropped all sups except for folic acid, but I might get some fiber as your pcos diet and other place talking about pcos reconmend fiber!
I have now been hanging around these sites and ttc since April, but I'm still trying to understand all the short hands, what does SMEP mean?
Also should I be worried about low estrogen is there anything I can do to improve this? If I should improve it? Should I talk the GP?

[maidentomother]

I disagree somewhat with atomic's Clomid/BD plan. My suggestion would be:

1st month: one attempt at positive OPK
2nd month: every 4 days
3rd month: every 3 days (much better than E4D + one attempt IMO)
4th month: every other day
