Ok, I'm pretty sure the month I conceived I still did the Bum under the pillow thing and I didnt get up and walk around right after. I think it was a combination of the clomid and the pillow that helped. The doc told me this, all the Clomid is doing is making you ovulate. Thats it. Nothing else. It doesn't make you more fertile, it just makes your body do what its supposed to do normally, so if you know you are ovualting for sure and you have had a doctor take your progesterone test and its been confirmed that you are ovulating, then I would suggest the Bum under the pillow for sure cause, like I said, I wasnt always careful and the only two lines, I had seen was on an ovulation test........LOL..............

Hello Tigger
Im going to ask you a question!!
My last period was Jan22nd so "shes" due fri 19th!!
I made sure i covered what should have been before and during ov
The start date would have been 30thJan and to b honest every other night til last sun7th,i went and did a silly thing earlier!!
I poas!! 1st response and got a neg!!I was told a while ago they arent great
Sounds mad but would look at those dates and check ov date?Please?
Im desperate!! Did i test too early?
Thank you BabyC x

I would say yes, you tested a bit too early. If you were due for AF on Friday, you should really wait to test till Af is due. I know the waiting sucks but there is a good reason they want you to wait. Your HCG numbers have to have time to increase and they double every two days, So can you imagine how crucial a day or two makes??? I know its soo hard, but try to hold off for AF. Here is a chart to let you know how much the numbers increase as time passes. Hope this helps, anymore questions, feel free to ask.

from conception from LMP (mIU/ML or IU/L)
7 days 3 weeks 0 to 5
14 days 28 days 3 to 426
21 days 35 days 18 to 7,340
28 days 42 days 1080 to 56,500
35 - 42 days 49 - 56 days 7,650 to 229,000
43 - 64 days 57 - 78 days 25,700 to 288,000
57 - 78 days 79 - 100 days 13,300 to 253,000
17 - 24 weeks 2nd trimester 4060 to 65,400
25 wks to term 3rd trimester 3640 to 117,000
After several days postpartum nonpregnant levels (<5)"

thanks tigger for your post

I have been trying for 7months now and putting maximum effort in every month. Getting my 21 day bloods done but I am sure I ovulate, OPKS are really storng on cd14 and cd15 and completey blank the rest of the month, also I am like a bitch in heat come cd14 sorry tmi lol so I think my body is doing what it is supposed to.

I take pregnacare and look after myself, could you recommend anything else? I do the pillow thing after and don't pee till the morning. I haven't tried anything else yet what would you recommend as my next step?

x-ginge-x · Feb 14th, 2010, 09:37 AM

This is so reassuring, I have been TTC for 15-16 months now, and have recently bought an Ovulation Microscope which showed ferning on CD13-CD15 so it made me happy

haven't ferned at all for the rest of the time! Thanks for returning to this board to offer light at the end of the tunnel it offers the little pick me up we all need when ttc becomes too much and gets us down...thanks and may the rest of your pregnancy be event free.

Hey Lisa, I would say, keep at it, If you are ovulating and you make sure you BD around OV time, then you are good. Keep at it and it WILL happen, Reread my story if you get discouraged. Dont stop trying, but make sure you keep you head up and if you realize that you can't take it emotionally, its ok to take a break for a month or two, cause that's what I did when I got overwhelmed............Lots of baby dust to you.........

Thanks so much for your post! We're only in cycle 2 and it feels like forever already! I have heard the just stop trying and thinking about it, but it's not as easy as it sounds! I just hope it happens soon. I'm not a patient person, lol, so waiting is not my strong suite!
