Hello ladies,

CD 12 today and my temps went so high after a dip yesterday. I am wondering if I had ovulated last night. The OPK were not strong enough to be considered positive. At the same time , it could be possible because yesterday was exactly 5 days since my last clomid pills.

How is everyone doing?

Sounds like you did,.. Two more days of high temp s you will know for sure :)

My temp is still low... Hoping for a rise tomorrow.

Me too! This is my first month of Clomid 50mg so I'm feeling really hopeful after several annovulatory cycles in a row :) I took Clomid CD5-9. I'm on CD10 today, waiting for a positive OPK- tracking using BBT, Clear Blue Fertility monitor, Wondfo dip strips, checking cm and Clear Blue digital OPK for back up. All these months of not ovulating has made me crazy. I'm definitely ready to see what happens over the next few weeks!!

Chicks - I did the same for my ds for his 1st bday party! It's all good! We had another big one for his 5th and planning again on his 10th. We don't do the big blow out parties that a lot of parents do every year! LOL
You mentioned your dh libido... there are supplements he can take to help with that. I think there's a red clover tea or something that I heard of that people swear by. Sorry, I can't remember what it was called exactly.

Miam - hey I like the idea of a week off of work for AF!! Would it be worth the week off to have everyone know it's AF time though? LOL

Trying - do you drink a lot of water? It can help with the EWCM....

LoveIt- an opk blinking face means your levels are high, but not peak. Either way it doesn't matter only that it's time to bd!!

TTC2MM - Good luck lady!

lalou - if you were drinking a lot of fluids prior to taking an opk it could've been really diluted and your test would show weak. Sounds like you O though.

Hi Ladies,

Hope you guys are doing well with renewed enthusiams!

I have hypothyroidism and I've been ttc for more than a year now.
Last cycle didn't really end with a full blown period. I had spotting for a few days on and off and not on consecutive days either! So I really don't know on what CD I am now. I'm going to go by when I get a positive on OPK.

So how is everyone else doing?

Best,

Hey there Aquapd I'm so sorry to see you on here. Looks like we will have another month together.

I'm technically on CD 2 I am so over it already . I am right there with you have been trying too long now. This month I am going to add mucinex and maybe b6 and attempt the SMEP, but that might be hard with our schedules. I'm still continuing opk bbt checking cervix cm and pressed as well as still taking my prenatals. I sure hope this works!!!

What are you all doing different this cycle?

Miam1324: I'm sorry to see you on here too... But, hey! Brighter side is we don't have to do this alone !! .

I'm using OPKs to track ovulation. I'm taking my vitamins. I'm on a gluten free diet for my hypothyroidism. We use preseed while BDing and I take green tea until I ovulate.

The only thing I'm doing different is I'm working out this cycle and also thinking of starting yoga. Other than that, it is pretty much the same! It has been more than a year since I quit the gym (fear of hurting the baby after my chem in Feb 2015). But I guess it has taken toll in my health. So started going to the gym since yesterday. Let's see if that's making any difference!

All the very best to all on this forum! My sincere for all of you!

Best,

Hi Aquapd and welcome! Your choice to go by your opks sounds like the best plan.

ATM - I am on cd8... let the BD begin!! I am continuing my low does aspirin, daily prenatal vitamin, preseed, tracking my CM and BBT and using OPK's. I am also drinking 2 quarts of water a day. I found this recipe that adds one cinnamon stick with a cut apple (no seeds!) to a 2 quart pitcher filled with filtered water. I thought it would be tough, but it's easier than I expected. It's supposed to aid in weight loss being that your more full from water and the cinnamon boosts metabolism.
If AF arrives I will be using a Fertility Cleanse for next cycle. At this point I'm trying anything to help my chances.

and to all who are ttc!!

Good luck babyangelG!!

My bbt did rise this morning.. hopefully it will stay up for the next 2 days to confirm ovulation. If so then cd 12 will be my ovulation day... which is earlier than usual. This cycle I am taking vitex and geritol liquid. (also using preseed) cd 10 I had what I believed to be a positive opk then cd 11 I had a positive opk in the am.. as well as ewcm (which I seen after using the bathroom and wiping...something that don't usually happen) we bd that morning... cd 12 I had some what I believe to be ovulation pain on my right side we bd that night.. cd 13 (which is today) my bbt rose and I had some more ovulation like crampin on the right side for a short period this morning.. we will more than likely try to squeeze in another bd tonight. Really hoping this is the cylce.. I want me a new year baby. =)
