Question??? Help

I guess I fear clomid not only because of twins but because I had my first son from clomid( not on it for lp reasons).

Some people def. have gotten boys on Clomid but the evidence indicates it does sway pink. just like how some smokers don't get lung cancer, but we all know that smoking does cause it.

Can someone refresh my memory? How long does your lp have to be to sustain a pregnancy?

No one really knows for sure and it's probable that it's different in every month for every fertilized eggo. Your lining, where the egg is fertilized, and how quickly it moves down the tube and implants, all affect odds of success. A fast moving egg fertilized a bit after O near the bottom of the Fallopian tube that has a nice lining to implant probably can make it in 7 days, whereas an egg that moves more slowly, is fertilized late, etc. may need more like 10+ days.

People have gotten pg from LPs of 7-8 days, while others with LP of 10 days have struggled. 12-14 is best, 10-12 is borderline, 7-10 is possible but not as likely.

I think your right in the fact that for some people a shorter lp might be okay. I think with my second son I had implation at 6 dpo. I can still see my chart on fertility friend from his conception, and I had spotting and a dip on 6 dpo. I than had a faint bfp on 8 dpo. I didn't test on 7 dpo but I doubt it would have shown. I think I could be one of those people that can a little bit shorter or let's hope so! I did increase the vitex and I will see what happens this month and maybe opt for clomid next month. I refuse to give in and do the b6 so clomid may be my only option. I'm Only doing one attempt this month so I'm sure I'll Get my chance to do the clomid next cycle. Also my re had given me estrace along with the clomid when I got pregnant with ds1 so that in itself probably helped sway blue along with vitamins , mucinex ect. Thanks for the reply, I know you pretty busy! Hope to hear good news from you soon!

Exactly! If you're taking estrace, that undoes the theoretical reasoning why the Clomid sways and so it would be more of a neutral situation. Toss in vitamins and Mucinex and it's really a lot closer to blue than pink! Thanks for sharing that experience!!

Thanks! Hopefully not much longer (altho I'm glad to be caught up on q's beforehand!!)
