New 2018 Clomid AND Femara support threads!

[Happymommy1987]

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!

Xxx

Congratulations!

Should I do jump and dump and a hot bath for DH with my attempt?
Only have clomid for this and next month.

I would compromise and skip the hot bath and do J and D after 10 minutes since u only have 2 Clomid months.

Question about ovulation:

Last month (per OPK) my surge was on CD10 without Clomid, the month before that, CD12 while on Clomid. I'm taking Clomid again this cycle, days 3-7. If I wait five days after my last pill to start the OPK, that will be CD12, and I'm worried I could miss my surge. But I know Clomid can cause false positives, so I'm afraid if I start doing the OPK too early, it could be wrong, we have an early attempt, and I don't want to add more.

Atomic, thoughts? If you're thinking E4D, would you think start early, considering my last surge at CD10? (I'm currently on CD7.)

Thanks for any advice!

In Spain I can’t find clomid only Omifin. The pharmacy says it’s the same as it has clomiphene, anyone knows if is the same?

You will not O on CD 10 after stopping Clomid CD 7. It will inihibit ovulation until the 5th day after stopping it at the absoulte earliest. Your non-clomid cycles don't really tell you much about Clomid cycles.

You don't have to wait till the 5th day to start the OPK. Start the 3rd day fter stopping Clomid and generally the Clomid will no longer be making false positives by then. If you do get a positive that day, have an attempt just to cover but it's probably a faker.

If you want to do e4d I'd have you start that the day after stopping Clomid and just keep going with it. I like you guys to be settled in on the pattern before you could ovulate so you're not tempted to try and jockey it around to try and get it to fall on a particular day. Then just keep going with it. I would suggest not even doing OPK with e4d so you aren't tempted to try to get your attempts to fall any particular way.

So if I got my surge on CD 12 my last cycle of Clomid, this cycle may be totally different? Bah! If it was the same, that would be exactly 5 days after stopping, which you're saying IS possible, but early for Clomid?

I feel like I should try one more Clomid cycle doing one attempt, then if it doesn't work, I'll do E4D the next cycle (my last Clomid cycle). I would really like to be successful with the one attempt.

I'll start taking the OPKs 3 days after my last pill. I actually didn't get any false positives with the OPK last time, before the surge on CD 12, so hopefully I'll have the same luck this time.

Thank you!!!
