Clomid questions....

[atomic sagebrush]

Thanks xx! Hmmm, sounds like you guys are being monitored with an RE...wonder if the OB doesn't do that? I was thinking that sounded kind of "off" to be not be. Augh....

Most people are not monitored on Clomid by either an RE OR OB. It is not "off" not to monitor, just a different way of thinking.

I am a bit soured on monitoring since the only triplets we've ever had was in a woman who was being monitored. She was told she had one follicle and to TTC but she had three. So I am now wondering what is the point of monitoring and if it's even reliable.

Thank you, atomic! These answers are helpful and put me at ease!

Maxim i took it cd 5-9 as they are prescribing it for you and i went in on cd 16, as i had expected for some silly reason i would ovulate by cd 14 since my cycles were 28 days long...so when i hadnt had a solid smiley as of the morning of CD 16 they got me in..with how long your cycles are id say you should at least have an idea of whats going on around cd 16-18 if you want to set up an ultrasound for then

Thanks B! I spoke with the OB this morning and he said he won't do any type of u/s. Not sure how I feel about that, but I'm going to go along with his plan.

(Especially with the triplet example atomic)!

Oh and yes you absolutely can O on a different weird day. A few docs (I think one of these was yours, Burk?? correct me if I'm wrong) have been actively telling their patients they will for sure O on CD 14 which is competely untrue and not even supported by any scientific fact whatsoever. MOST will ovulate an average of 5-10 days after the last dose of Clomid.

Yes atomic, mine seemed certain with my very regular cycles that with the clomid i would pop the egg on cd 14..reality was cd 17-18

Maxim unless twins run on one side of either of your families i really dont think you should fret too much about multiples. If you really want one more baby i would just focus on doing what you need to do to conceive at all with a good girl sway obviously, and worry about the twin + aspect only if it comes to pass.

Thanks so much!! Twins do run in my family - my oldest sister had a twin (not living) and we have others in extended family, but not sure that would mean it would mean I would have twins 🤞

Hi I am new to this site and to swaying in general. I'm a little late to the game because I just found out I am pregnant but had some questions about the possible likelihood of baby being a girl...

I was on Clomid 5-9 50 and it was my 3rd month on it
Was on Metformin 1000mg daily (but had stopped it for a week and then started week before ovulation again)
Also taking baby aspirin and Vit D 5000iu

I also know I likely ovulated from my left ovary due to week before Annual GYN visit saying that was dominant one.

Last thing is my progesterone was 58 and HCG 125 at 15dpo and 317 at 17 dpi.

I didn't realize how consuming my worry for wanting a girl would be! I feel ridiculous was not expecting this

Feel free to post your own thread for more input shop but I feel you have more factors for blue than pink. Clomid sways pink and taking longer to conceive in general usually sways pink however vitamin D in that excess would sway blue and I think the aspirin too but atomic can correct me with that. Progesterone doesn't mean anything and neither does your hcg other than the baby seems very health with both numbers you have given! I had really high hcg with DD3 -!: lower end of normal with DD4..high progesterone with DD3 thanks to clomid and barely functional progesterone with DD4.. clomid sways pink but metaformin could sway blue because it stabilizes your blood sugars and that's what boys like.. girls like really high or really low sugars..what it comes down to in order to determine what you technically 'swayed' for even unintentionally is how you ate and how you lived life. Do you lift weights? Run? Are you active or more of a couch potatoe? What is your diet like? What are the main things you eat? Are you on the thin side or heavier side or somewhere in between?


DD3 was a right ovary right side of my uterus baby and DD4 was my right ovary left side of uterus baby.. you will find lots of boy moms on here had opposites of ramzi theory too (which you are in theory using)
