O+12, PCOS, and Clomid

Bec,
Thanks! I will check that out.

FF is great.....I think I may start temping again myself. I may indeed wait 7 days after O and go also....I usually O before day 18, but that is not 7 days after. Last month I did at day 14.

We might actually be on the same time frame, Legacy. I am expecting AF in about 4 days myself.

Lola,
That's great! I hope it works out for both of us. Although, I am afraid I am starting to get cold feet. Both my boys were unplanned. TTC on purpose is a whole new ballgame for me and leaves me feeling a little uneasy... Crazy, huh!?! I keep thinking... we want to sell our house and I so want a cute little girl nursery that I won't get if we are in the middle of a move

We are TTC a girl. I have a prescription for Clomid that I will begin taking once I finish my medication to make AF make her appearance. I want to do O+12 but I have PCOS and never have a cycle without medication every 3-4 months. So, I am suppose to know when I ovulate so I can aim for O+12 - O+18?

We have two sons that we conceived naturally. Swaying and praying for a healthy, preferably pink, bundle of joy.

First of all hi and welcome! Glad you found us.

You may not want to hear this but I would NEVER EVER EVER do any timing method for swaying with Clomid, esp. O+12 and beyond a doubt 100% DO NOT even think about O+18.

Not only do you need to be able to predict ovulation to do O+12, but doing O+12 makes it very very hard to get pg. Some women go for many months/a full year trying for O+12 and not getting pregnant. Many women's eggs (esp. if you are over 35) do not even LIVE past 12 hours, NO egg lives past 24 hours, and sperm take minimum 4 hours to capacitate so when you start playing around with O+18 you are all but guaranteeing you will not conceive. Even if your egg is very long lived, it will be at death's door by the time the sperm arrives. That may be fine for people who are TTC naturally and have time to lose.

However, Clomid makes your uterine lining go bad very quickly and after you take it for a few months, it makes your lining so terrible that it actually actually begins to act as a birth control pill and will keep you from getting pregnant. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...hp?1191-Clomid In fact, if you stay on Clomid too long you will actually risk getting cancer because your uterus begins to grow cancerous cells.

There is NO reliable scientific evidence that O+12 sways at all and most people cannot get pregnant doing it. On the other hand, Clomid is proven to sway pink for a fact. I think you would be much, much better served by doing whatever you can to do get pg while on Clomid and relying on Clomid to sway for you.
