when did ovulation start after my 5 days of taking clomid

GOOD LUCK! Let us know what happens!

hello ladies, well i didnt get my scan, ( bloody hospital is useless) i had my letter in my hand stating i was ment to be there, but they had no record, so said go home we'll scan you next week, i was furious, there excuse was " we cant scan you this afternoon as we are extremly busy ( 2 people in the entire room ) and they dont scan pregnant women on an afternoon??? so why book my appointment in the afternoons, silly people, so i now have to go back on wednesday, but it will be better as i will be nearly 8 weeks, hope everyone else is ok, i feel so lathargic tired and just not great at all, anyone else feel as if they cant be bothered, i think im dying lol xx

hi, i had a m/c 7 weeks ago, then started bleeding 3.5 weeks ago thought it was that time of the month but im actually pregnant. Bleeding has never stopped but my hcg has gone from 221 to 487 in 2 days. Got the dull ache this morning and its never gone away so going back for more tests on tuesday. All my scan showed was a blob of fluid but thet cant tell what it is as i cant be that far along, can anyone offer advice?

Continue to have your hcg levels monitored and have an u/s every week or two. If your HCG levels continue to double, then you should be fine, but if you had a miscarriage 7 weeks ago, you're right, you would not be that far along, do you know when you ovulated?

thanx for that, i think i ovulated about 2 weeks after the D&C we started trying straight away, i know i can do it as i have a 3 year old, its really frustrating playing the waiting game, i think im getting a scan on tuesday aswell. My blood has been red brown pink heavy light its unreal, the last time i bled for 5 days, was in excruciating pain and then it was over, nothing like this time.

No Problem! My miscarriage was a blighted ovum so I ended up carrying the sac for two weeks after I was diagnosed, still felt pregnant and then lost it. With NO PAIN, except for 4-5 hours the day I passed the sac. I bled very slightly for the three weeks prior and then the last seven days was pretty heavy, and now very light again. I am praying for you and your little one! Hopefully, it is good that the sumptoms are different this time! I will continue to keep my fingers and toes and eyes crossed for you! Let us know what you find out!

me again...after 3.5 weeks my bleeding has gone to almost non existent this morning, no big clots or anything like that, yesterday, my hcg numbers doubled, going into hospital in 3 days for scan and blood test is there any hope? im trying to stay optimistic about this but its on my mind 24/7...also started to feel really sick...

Hi Laurie,
Per my understanding an HCG level of 33 is the equivalent of being 1 day pregnant. Yes this is low. However, some women's number start off low. I'm not sure what your religious affiliation is; however after having the same hcg level and then learning that I miscarried was hard for me. Understand that though it hurts there is a reason why we go through this pain. For me it was to recognize and use the strength that I did not know I posessed. I wanted my child more than anything, despite the fact that I would have to raise my child alone. Ultimately, try to keep the faith and try not to worry about the numbers. I did research and it is still possible that you will carry your child to term. Good luck and God Bless you and your family.

HI Carrie,
I went through not knowing. I miscarried and it was confirmed via U/S. Sounds like your sickness may be partially due to anxiety. I'm not sure if it'll help you, but it helped me. Keep a journal/notebook with you 24/7, when you start to worry, write your concerns down in the journal. I found that doing this relieves anxiety. I carried this notebook everywhere, to work/at home/in the car. Hopefully this will help you also.

hi sam, many thanx for that, i think i will to the diary thing. Im just hoping that someone up there will sprinkle some baby dust over me and it will work out, in Scotland, you need to have 3 m/c's before they will investigate why its happening, thats the nightmare bit. If this goes the wrong way, i will have to do it again before they look into it. Been really tired today, ive slept for most of it, the bleeding is almost away, im hoping that because i lost one 7 weeks ago, it was just my period not knowing when to stop, who knows. Any way, im sorry for what you went through, i know how you feel, fingers and toes crossed for you when it happens again but the next time if your concerned, DEMAND someone give you answers.

I submitted my story on Aug. 24. I went ahead and took another hcg test, and it came back 10 a week after it was 14. I'm assuming that when I had my period, I miscarried. I wasn't sure if I was going to bleed again or just get a period weeks later. Well, my period should be coming byFriday. Since this was my second miscarriage in 5 months this year, my husband wants to wait and try to get pregnant this year. I would like to start immediately. I was only a couple of weeks---ok 5 according to the doctors and my last period. But I basically could've just taken it as a late period if I hadn't done a HPT, right? Doctors recommend waiting atleast a cycle before trying again, but does this time really count? Last week I went to my husband's grandmother's B-party, and people kept asking if I was pregnant. I felt so depressed to see so many people with kids and not be one of them. Having miscarriages is so hard and frustrating. A co-worker of my husband has a week old baby. I'm happy for these people, I just wish I could be one of them. I'm so thankful to have this forum, and to be able to be comforted with the fact that I'm not alone in this. I just wish and pray that we all get blessed with beautiful babies. Its nice to have a place to turn to vent when no one else around us understands. Some don't understand the pain of miscarriage, the feeling of loss, and the feeling of wanting something so bad and not being able to have it.

terry- i am the same, when i go out i find it hard to speak to my friends who have just had babies, i sound pathetic i know, but were only human, who says we have to be happy for everyone, i hope you have a chance again soon, and good luck xxx

Scotland's rule has to be difficult. Hopefully, everything will go well with your pregnancy. I am extremely grateful for this website. I really didn't know how to deal with my miscarriage; however encouraging any of you - helps me also. Carrie, I wish you a very healthy pregnancy.
