Sorry for the late reply.

I did for a month but that month my fever after what I thought was O remained over 98 and I always felt pretty hot and even had hot flashes. But I wasn't pregnant and I actually found out that I did not ovulate at all. So I stopped. Now I'm just using the OPK.

Can i give one more bit of advice

Consultant said NOT TO do OPK's or Temping she said that we should just Make love every 2-3 days and that its stressful enough so try relax and dont pin your hopes on a pee stick.

Thanks for the dust

I was always against OPKs and temping. But I thought I should give it a shot. I already stopped temping after a month, too stressful.

The OPK is going the same way, especially since I have to do it first thing in the morning, so if I went to the bathroom during the night, I try to think how long ago that was... Sigh... So, I'll probably give it another month but if it continues this way, I'm just going to stop.

I advocate making love every 2-3 days but my DH has been really stressful this month so we thought the OPKs would help us, if I ovulate.

So far, no sign of the O... Sigh...

Had me first cycle last week. Been in for the internal scan where they measure the follicles and thickness of the womb. That happens on day 12 and the nurse said everything was happenng in the right way. Been given prediction kits for next 4 days then back on Monday for another scan if I haven't had a surge. Did first pee on a stick today and no surge yet but will keep going over the weekend.

Good luck and look on the bright side!

Thanks for the support

Good luck to you too!

Also, you're lucky that you're having u/s. Mine said it wasn't necessary the first 3 months... Not what I thought but oh well...

! Try not to feel down about needing extra help (drugs) to get pregnant. There are several very supportive, wonderful women on this forum who are going through the same thing. Some of us have really screwed up hormones and need that extra bit of pharmaceutical help to get our bodies under control.

Hear hear! I hope your IUI works, I know quite a few girls who directly moved on to injections and now are cuddling with their babies. Lots of

I was really pleased to get it too.
The side effects are worth it, hot flushes ( we all get them in the end anyway) are a bit of a pain and I have very funny dreams ( I know other people who have had wierd dreams too..)
I had a bit of nausea and it got my hopes up,,,especially when my boobs got sore but I was mistaken.
I am going to keep going with it, despite the constant blood tests and internal scans it is our last leg up.
Good luck.

Hey there.

Just wanted to add my two cents. We just got our BFP on our third round of Clomid. First two cycles we were on 50 mgs and the last (and successful cycle) we were doubled up to 100mgs. Also, on this successful cycle, I didn't get a positive OPK, so didn't think I had a chance, but my doc said Clomid in high doses can affect the results of an OPK - so don't trust them alone!

Lots and lots of luck.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I was feeling so sad today because it's CD 18 and still no positive OPK. This was just what I needed to hear today :-)

I hope you have a comfortable pregnancy and a healthy baby. Congratulations!

Good luck with the clomid. I'm on my third round not had many side effects just hot flushes and a bit emotional when AF has come but to be fair that is probably me getting my hopes up rather then the clomid. Heard many success stories so fingers crossed for all of us on clomid - IT WILL WORK!!!
