Melliflous May (part 2)

[Pbn3]

It's really easy lovepink just have a few practice goes before you start for real. It needs only to be inserted far enough that the head of the bbt is completely covered. As a guide when first starting I would insert the bbt alongside my index or middle finger and insert to middle knuckle (so half a finger basically) then remove my finger to take temp. After a few goes you'll be fine and more comfortable with it. I then just gave the bbt a good wipe with an alcohol swab/wipe

Lovepink-agree with trying vag temps, much more accurate. I had never even thought of trying it that way until pbn & ash mentioned it, but it's super easy & no biggie!
Here are my OPKs-wondfo this PM. It's not pos yet, but getting there. Mine seem to be pos when the test line is much darker than test.

lola, my goodness those tests are so dark! I'm shocked you haven't gotten a solid smiley, seriously!!

soooo yah, probably shouldn't have been so honest about the clomid with DH....he's pretty freaked by it! he wants to call the doctor to ask a lot of his questions, which is not great...he's a lawyer and i'm afraid he's going to grill the poor ob LOL! any advice here???

[AshFind]

LOL that's great max hehe poor ol dr. ! Maybe he'll feel a bit more relaxed about it if he calls [emoji53]hopefully

[Pbn3]

Agree with Ash Maxim! Let him talk to your ob as it may put his mind at ease. Asking again in case you missed it earlier but has your ob ordered any bw for you yet??

Max - honestly if he just googled it he'd see the increased risk of multiples. Just let him call. A doctor should be able to handle it. I'm sorry, I know more stress is not what you need right now.

Tell him that Clomid has been in use since the 60's, was invented a decade before that and investigated for over 10 years before it was put into use, it's on the WHO list of the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system, and has been used by millions of women and men (men use it for some health issues as well) with very rare and mild side effects. Millions of babies have been conceived on Clomid including some of the women who are now TTC on this very site!!

You only take it for 5 days, many days before you even release an egg, and it cannot harm a baby. In fact, it's been shown not to, and the only real risk to an unborn baby is if you took it while pregnant (so don't! and always take a pregnancy test the day you are due to start the Clomid even if you are 100% sure you are not pregnant!) Multiples are a concern but as long as you stick to the dose they give you, higher order multibples (beyond twins) are unlikely.

There are a jillion scary drugs on the market, and even more herbal supplements that people will swallow like TicTacs without any investigations, but Clomid I believe to be among the best and safest. HTH.

Kat, that's exactly what he did after I told him...went straight to google. [emoji51]

Pbn, yes he is ordering labs for me on CD3 and 21 (or 7 days after I O since it's a bit more unpredictable for me). Also doing the ultrasound to check for blocked tubes after CD3.

Atomic, oh its not me or my safety he's worried about, it's him ending up with twins. [emoji23] it took me months to convince him to just try for one month, that has turned into a few months, and now clomid. I think he's overwhelmed with it, and quite honestly just scared of doubling our children almost overnight, if that makes sense. Do you know realistically what the chances of someone taking 50mg from day 5-9 is for twins? Let's not even get into more than 2... [emoji12]
