New 2018 Clomid AND Femara support threads!

Thanks for your reply and crossed fingers I’m trying to access the clinics that offer gender selection... is that still around?

Day 13 now... hoping for pink baby dust

Yes they still do IVF/PGD for gender! We have a big community of ladies who would love to help! http://genderdreaming.com/forum/high...-member-forum/

Thanks again ladies, still waiting patiently for what I would consider full flow...
Reading over drs instruction sheet with the clomid, he says

1. Avoid alcohol - should this just be the 5 days I take it or the whole cycle?

2. Suck sugar free lollies to help nausea - curious what your thoughts are on this!?!
Also diet vs non diet soft drink as mixer with alcohol. Phenylalanine seems to be the sweetener here in aus in soft drinks

I think I missed this, sorry!

The Clomid+alcohol is due to the fact that it may cause dizziness. Tons of people have had alcohol while on Clomid, just don't operate any heavy machinery if you do, LOL. It is only while you're taking it, not the rest of the time (although sometimes doctors will cluck their tongue since they don't want anyone drinking while TTC, of course - but just stop drinking after ovulation and it is fine.)

If you take the Clomid at night before bed you shouldn't have any nausea but yes it's fine to suck some hard candy if it helps.

Whatever kind of mixer with your alcohol you'd like. If you're ahving it between meals (and it is best to have alcohol with meals, but that is a rule many of us have bent or broken, myself included) you should have no sweetener or artificial sweetener. if you're having it with a meal it's fine to have a non-diet, sugary mixer with it.

Not a problem atomic I just skipped alcohol last night to see how the clomid went. I am a little blurry this morning but only up close stuff.

I never drank alcohol before the sway so I’ve been having it with food to help absorb its effects, I really shouldn’t mix it with metformin either but I think that’s because they both drop blood sugar. I generally only have 1or2 and I’m fine. Quite enjoyed it.

Love the lol over operating heavy machinery!
My boys would love to see that...

Should ask when do I start opk? CD4 now.

I have a stack of cheapies which were pretty much on par with the clear blue digi dual, picked up surge night before the early morning positive on the clear blue (as I was using fmu)

Think you said atomic that clomid may cause false positives on the clear blue because of the estrogen?

Yes Met and alcohol are worse combo than Clomid and alcohol that's for sure but it's very rare and usually only in heavy drinkers that it can be a problem.

I would start OPK 3 days after your last dose of Clomid. You may want to have an attempt that day too just to cover you for the next couple days. It is highly unlikely, even impossible to O sooner than the 5th day after taking the Clomid. Yes the Clomid can cause false pos on the OPK, but this is gone by the 3rd day and even if it's not, by having attempt either way you're covered just in case the one in a billion chance that you O sooner more like the 4th day after Clomid (that has only happened once that I am aware and I wonder if the person who had that happen had skipped a day possibly)

Oh crap... so even though I wanted to do only one attempt this first month on it I should do bd 3 days after final tab (so CD10).
What happens then if I get +ve opk on day CD12?

Just wondering why I can’t access the Clomid/femara info accessible for dream members through the app. It always sends me to a web browser where I have to then log in again, and then loose the page I’m on - I then have to search around trying to find this page...

You don't have to have that attempt if you don't want to. It's fine to skip it, just that I feel like people get a lot of stress if they then get a positive OPK that day - is it real, is it a faker, they don't know what to do.

It's not super likely you'll get the pos OPK CD 12. What you can do instead is to plan to have the "just in case" attempt CD 12 instead. That way you'll be covered if you get positive that day, CD 13, and CD 14. Then attempt again CD 15 (for better odds of conception) or CD 16 (for better odds of pink.)

Or, don't do any of that and just wait till positive OPK! Totally your call to make.

Tapatalk (which we are not affiliated with) has released a couple really glitchy updates. We can't do much since it's on their end, other than wait for them to fix it. Several forums are having this issue. IF you can use a different browser on your phone and not the Tapatalk app it can help.

Or go to the Dream Members forum, click where it says Extreme Gender Swaying, and then they are posted in that forum.

Food for thought, & I’m sure by now everyone around here knows my biggest weakness is DECISION making.... agh
