Meg-this was my first round of clomid and my stomach bloated out so much I looked pregnant-I feel your pain-On the plus side when I went for an US they said it was b/c I had 4 focciles and that can cause bloating. Bul-I can tell by using Ovulation Predictor Kits, some can't tell this way though-just pay attention to your cervical mucus. I always have little twinges of pain with ov. too. Good luck!

I think I am getting my period after all-I was so convinced this was it. I am very crampy with that heavy period-like feeling....On to month 2-blah

Good Mornin Ladies - well today is just another hurry up & wait day I Not sure if I O'd early or not. I have very little cm & cervix is hard & open?? Breasts are full, odd cramping...seems just like last mth. Clomid really makes you feel pregnant! Nicole stay positive / Bul thanks oh how I wish you were right! Happy Baby making girls

Thanks PL for your concern we are going thru the same experience. Just wait a few days to recheck I hope that you get the results you are looking for. I have a child hood friend that took clomid and fell preg her 1st month. I was hoping that I would be like her, I was a bit to eager. This month I am more calm and refreshed. I am happy about my doc upping the meds and getting the scan. My doc went from giving me 500 mg to 2000 mgs of metformin so far I am okay I get a little nausea from it but no major symtoms yet. The brand name glucaphoge cost way too much They wanted 190 dollars (with insurance ) the metformin was only 10 dollars. They didn't have any other generic but the metformin brand. so I had no choice. I am just hoping that I will not get sick like I did a few years ago when I was on a higher dosage of metformin. Meg I am sorry that you are feeling so sore I hope you feel better soon. Nicole sounds like your on the right path to being pregnant. Rowan thanks for the support. G/L to everyone! Hope this month is for us!

Rowan, I'm going through the same thing as you right now....wondering whether or not I have O'd. What do you ladies think...I took clomid days 3-7 & had my trigger shot on day 14 at 9am. I'm now on day 16. The only reason I think I have not O'd is because this morning I had a bit a runny, clear CM. Any ideas? Geewife, I was also hoping that 1 rd. of Clomid would do the trick...now I'm hoping that 2 is my lucky number! I emailed Cheri, the baby physic & she said that I would either get, pg. or deliver in sept. Well, I'm hoping that she's right about the getting pg. in Sept!!! That means only about 12 more days until a BFP!! I'm tyring the positive thinking as well! Nicole, has AF actually showed up yet??


Nicole1980 - October 3rd, 2007 2:06 PM

No period yet...I just have that feeling where I am crampy right over my vag area....I am being positive though. The reason you get get constipated while pregnant is the increase in progestrone.....I have had tummy problems all day which I think is b/c my progestrone is dropping.


geewife1 - October 3rd, 2007 3:56 PM

Meg who is cheri? I would like to know what she think of my chances of getting preg. Nicole be positive, I know your mind is wondering all over the place just stay calm and think happy thoughts. Every one exp. different symptoms of being preg.


meg - October 3rd, 2007 8:04 PM

geewife, Cheri, from what I have heard/read, is just a lady who tries to predict when you will get pg. Apparently she is very accurate! Her email is cheri22ATgmailDOTcom
Her web address is cheri22DOTcom (this forum is a pain when you want to give web addresses). She does free readings as well as paid readings. The paid readings are $7 & she usually responds w/in 3 or 4 days. Not only does she tell you when she thinks you'll become pg, she also tells you the sex & lots of interesting facts about what your child will be like...it's interesting. Whether or not it's true...who knows! but it's fun!

Do anyone know if a 37 progstrone level mean pregnancy


anonlady - October 3rd, 2007 9:56 PM

I don't know if this will help anyone or not, but I was told to take Prometrium for 10 days to bring on a period, then Clomid CD 3-7, then BD every other day/every day from CD 9-16. I tried charting my temps, and it just wasn't accurate and I couldn't seem to wake up at the exact time each day. I did do OPK's though, and I started testing on CD-9, and got my first positive with ClearBlueEasy Digital OPK(which I LOVE btw) on CD 13. I definitely felt ovulation...for the first time in my life. I am currently in my 2ww...have about one more week! My breast are really sore, and I have a lot of creamy cervical mucus, which I heard can happen in the very beginning of pregnancy when you are forming your "mucus plug". This is my first round ever on any fertility medication. My husband and I have had regular, unprotected sex for 7 years, and have never conceived. I am in my 20's and without medication, I only get 1-2 periods a year, and haven't ever felt ovulation. I do not have PCOS....my bloodwork doesn't even show any out-of-whack hormones, so who knows what my absent periods are caused from. If this round is not successful, I was told to again take Prometrium for 10 days to bring on a period, and up Clomid to 100mg. We shall see!! Good luck to all!


Bul - October 4th, 2007 4:21 AM

Meg- i just paid Cheri, hope she'll have good news for me. u right we should do this for fun and just to boost our hopes.


Nicole1980 - October 4th, 2007 8:01 AM

LadyShep....I had a similar number and it does not mean pregnancy-BUT on the plus side the higher the progestrone the less likely you would miscarry.

NO PERIOD yet....day 26-I still am convinced it is coming, cramps,sharp pains but I took a test and it was a BFN...so I am thinking the period is on it's way


meg - October 4th, 2007 9:52 AM

Bul, let us know what she says! Nicole, Ladyshep & anon...good luck! How soon until you start testing? I'm currently on CD17 & I think that DH & I are done bding for a few days...finally! My trigger was 3 days ago, so I am sure that I have O'd. Hopefully one of his guys is a good little swimmer & I get a BFP in 2 weeks or so! I think the second half of the cycle goes so much slower than the first...I hate waiting. As far as the progesterone, I'd be very interested in seeing what mine is around the start of next week. Do you just call your dr. & tell them you would like a progesterone test?


PL - October 4th, 2007 10:52 PM

Hi Ladies, thank you for your support!!! I love this forum :) I am very happy today, my period finally come!!!! YEAH..... thats mean I can start taking comid soon and try in less that 2 weeks. This month we will all make it, and this forum will be fill with great news ^_* I am going to see my fertility doc next Mon, will be asking her lots of Q, including why was I having preg symp. Will let you all know what she says about it. Good luck ladies!


LADYSHEP - October 4th, 2007 11:12 PM

Meg you can ask your doc for the lab,normally they tell you to have it done on the 21day of your cycle to see if you ovu.
Thank you Niclole1980. well i test in the morning i will let you guys know what happen. Good luck to all and lot s of baby dust to you all


Bul - October 5th, 2007 3:34 AM

yeah PL all we need is positive thinking although i get depressed for days when the period comes. will surely let you know what Cheri predicted, can't wait. i think i'll get the response sometime next week.


Nicole1980 - October 5th, 2007 7:40 AM

Good Morning...So no period yet Day 27...but I got a BFN, so it has to be coming right?? The Dr said to test on Sunday but I am trying to be realistic. I have bad cramping still...we'll see
