New 2018 Clomid AND Femara support threads!

I’m sorry! Last question. When I started spotting with this chemical pregnancy was about 11pm and very light. Does that still count as CD1? I was planning on starting this round on CD3 so just curious when to start. Thank you!

I would probably count it as the next day. The good news is that the Clomid is way more forgiving than people think and so it really doesn't matter if you are a day off in either direction.

Mrs English just wanted to pop in and say that while a pos opk (and yours is dark but not pos) can indicate a bfp, some women simply experience a lh surge prior to af arriving, me being one of those women as I found out with the 'opk as pregnancy test'... so while I'm hoping with everything that it is indeed a sign of fantastic things to come, I wanted to warn you not to get your hopes up high based on this. You'll get a pos hpt before a pos opk caused by hcg so I'd recommend biting the bullet and poa hpt. Fx so tightly for you!!!

just wanted to double down on this for other posters, since in this case it did turn out to be pregnancy...most of the time you won't get a positive OPK until AFTER a missed period so if you're getting a pos OPK 7-14 days past ovulation and getting all excited about it, please hold your applause till you have missed a period and also had a positive on an HCG test ideally.

Not even a squinter! With my first pregnancy I was like, am I imagining it? In the long term it doesn't matter, but in the moment - getting a big BFP is definitely more satisfying Attachment 40093

Can Clomid/Femara give misleading OPK results during cycle?

Yes, while you are taking them and for up to 3 days afterwards, you'll get a false positive OPK. After that point, you should get normal results with OPK.

It probably is but might warrant a check to be sure you don't have a cyst or mild mastitis going on (you can get mastitis even when not actively nursing)

I went to the doctor and it isn’t mastitis. The pain is still going on and im cd19 in the tww. I think because the clomid is still in my body.

Ok that's actually good news, we have ruled out something that needs treatment. I'd take an ibuprofen and see if it helps.

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to say, I got my BFP a few days ago! I’m over the moon as I honestly thought I was out this month. My hubby was booked in to have a sperm anaylisis due to his age, and I just got the overwhelming urge to test. It was a squinter at first but hardly got darker as the days went on. We’re thrilled!

I will post my sway when I’m out of the ‘danger zone’ as we all know too well that things could turn in a blink of an eye. However I remain positive!

The only things I feel nervous about are the attempts. As I posted earlier on, we had several attempts around ovulation as we just weren’t falling quick enough and I had no more Clomid being prescribed. Also, I introduced the PCOS girl diet in the week of ovulation so I had a tad more protein and fat, I introduced some chicken & eggs.. but overal I’m happy!

Thank you for all your support guys.. it’s proceless.. il be in touch!
