alexia81: Can you please help me out this morning I was checking my CM and it was watery-Egg white. I'm just on cd6 and taking my last clomid tonight. I am kind of worried becuz i usually O when i take clomid at the same time evryday on cd11. So an I suppose to expect O befor cd 11 according to my CM? Anyone else can reply to my question. Thankx in advance. Gl to you.

Hi Shashana, I am not quite sure the answer to that but I can tell you that when you first see cm, it means ovulation is coming soon. Maybe this month you will ovulate a bit sooner than cd11. Are you using OPKs? I think that would be your best bet to determine an ovulation day, otherwise you will be relying exclusively on cm and that may not be as accurate. Best of luck!

Hello Everyone and big welcome to the new people. Well as for me i started spotting today alittle more so i know she is here. YEAH!! I'm so ready for this process to get started but i have a few concerns. My doctor wants me to take my temperature and i have been doing it just to get in the hang of it but for the first week my temp was 97.4 then 5 days later it went down to 97.2 then 3 days later it went down to 97.1 then went back up to 97.2 and then today is was 96.5. I am sooo confused by this? I dont know if i am doing it wrong or what! I dont know if im messing it cause i get up all hours of nite to go to the restroom. If someone has any advice that would be great cause im lost and i dont want to mess things up when it comes time for me to take my clomid! I hope everyone is having a good day! Thanks, Heather

hrath2009: Temperature varies from 1 day to another so that's normal to have diffrent temperatur evryday. You sould be taking it evryday at the same time. If you getting up all hours of nite to go to the restromm then it can have a lil impact on your tempeartur becuz you have to have at least 3 or 4 hours sleep to have an accurat temperaturaccording to what I read.

thanks alexia81 I'm not using opks but i will be bding evry other days to be on the safe side.

Here is an article for you about it. Basal body temperature is the temperature of your body at rest. Taking your temperature first thing in the morning, before you get out of bed, eat, drink or go to the bathroom will give you the most accurate basal body temperature. When charting your bbt (basal body temperature) you will want to purchase a special thermometer called a basal body temperature thermometer. It records temperatures to the tenth degree and is the most precise thermometer. By charting your temperatures you can see patterns in your menstrual cycle and hopefully determine when you ovulate. Try to get a good night's sleep before taking your temperature. If for some reason you did not get a lot of sleep or you woke up frequently through the night, you should still take your temperature. Just make a note of it on your chart.

Krissy- I am doing fine, I had a +opk yesterday and a -opk today, so we bd'd last night and plan to today and tomorrow just to be safe. I will be getting my b/w done around 9/1 or 9/2 to see if I ovulated. I've been charting my temps and they should hopefully rise soon to be sure that I ovulated. My fingers are crossed. Good luck to you.

Ladies, I need some advise. My RE's nurse just called to tell me I didn't respond to the 100mg of clomid (after 2 ultrasounds and bloodwork my body is def. not in ovulation mode) so they want me to take 150mg starting tonight for 5 days and then go in for another ultrasound next Wednesday. I am a little freaked out by the fact that I already took 100mg cd 3-7 and today on cd 14 take 150mg for 5 more days! To make matters worst, on next Thursday my DH and I leave to Switzerland for my sister's wedding so I will be gone from 9/3 to 9/7. So here is what I'm thinking, what if I get there on Wednesday, the follicles grow and ovulation happens while I'm on this trip (I am supposed to get trigger shot and IUI)? On the other hand, I could cancel the trip, but one this is my sister's wedding and two what if it doesn't work and I don't respond to the 150mg of clomid? Should I just consider this cycle as lost and focus on next? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Alexia-That is a very tough decision to make. Sorry you have been put in that position. If I were in your shoes, as hard as it would be, I would go on the trip to sister's wedding, then start the 150mg next cycle. This is just my opinion...but you should really follow our heart and instinct. Good luck whatever you decide.

alexia - I wouldnt consider this cycle a complete lost. It is not unheard of for an RE to rx a second round of clomid. If I were you, I would take the 150mg like they are rx'ing and go to your sisters wedding. Take plenty of OPK's with you so that you can test everyday. Who knows maybe you will O! Just make sure that you are bd'ing so that you dont miss it. Then when you get back from your trip have your RE do a blood test for your progestrone levels. That test will tell you for sure if you O'ed on your trip. By doing this you wont be able to do the trigger shot because the hcg injection has to be kept refrigerated nor will you be able to do your IUI but at least this cycle wont be lost. Worst case scanaro, you come back from your trip w/o O'ing and your RE has to determine that the cycle was lost. Maybe if you dont O, when you get back they can give you the shot and IUI. Dont give up!!!

Shashana- Thank you so much for the info on the temp! I have read alot of info regarding it but im still alittle confused as to how im gonna be able to see when i ovulated if the temps are out of wack. I have been charting and based on yesturdays and todays temp there is a big drop. I called the doctor today and she said pretty much the same thing you said. I guess im just a freak and i worry about the weirdest stuff. Alexia- I would just go for both options! Take ur meds and go to the wedding. Maybe gettin away with the hubby for a weekend will do the trick. Gook Luck hun! Lilyloo- Thats awesome you got a +opk! My fingers are crossed that you get a BFP! Good luck!

Alexia- I agree with the advise Soready gave you. Make the decision you feel most comfortable with. Wish you good luck with whatever you decide to do. Hrath- Can't give you any advise on temping as I don't do it myself, but am just happy for you that AF finally started. I know how frustrating that can be, I have taken Provera three times. Lilyloo- Sounds good. So you are now in the 2ww? Good luck! Tryingfor#3- Where are you in your cycle? AFM- Thanks everyone for the good wishes and prayers. A quick question for anyone who has taken BCPs: Will I start AF right after I take my last pill or will it be like Provera where it always takes a week?

alexia81 - I'm doing good how about yourself. I am on cd20/9dpo and just hanging out not stressing or even thinking about it. Maya444 - I am so happy that everything checked out good for you. Krissy

LilyLoo - Well get ready to come on over to the 2ww so glad you got your positive on the opk now get busy girlfriend LOL talk to you soon. Krissy

Maya~~ I am on 20cd/6dpo and you should get it on/in your week of sugar pills. I always got it like 2 days after my pills were done. Alexia~~ I have no clue about that. Kind of weird they want you to take it now. Have a safe trip. Sorry family is here so things are crazy will post more later.
