Pregnancy Info HOME

oooh also: i took 50mg clomid on cd5-9(nov. 2nd - 6th) and about 3 days ago had a lot of pain and bloating in my tummy. 2 days after this i took a ovulation test and saw a faint line. i took one today and the line was even lighter so i'm wondering if maybe i ovulated the day after these pains or the day of. my question is this: i don't have any pain or bloating anymore or feel any pressure when i use the restroom. should that mean that i have, in fact, ovulated? and if i had not, wouldn't i still be feeling the bloating and pressure when i (tmi warning) use the restroom and have to push?

LucysMama: I took the meds, but how did I kow about them... A friend of mine used them and she's from there.... She got pregnant... I know it's the real thing because I took it, and completely felt my ovulation (extreemly painful for 2-3days) and I'm pregnant now after only being on it for 1 month, and so far the bean seems to be sticking.... I know of other women who went through the company, so I'm pretty confident in them..............................................Teddyfinch : The OPK test will always show a faint posative, it's not like reading an HCG test... The line on an OPK has to be just as dark or darker then the test line in order to be posative.... So, I'm guessing you probably hadn't ovulated.... Go to goole and type in peeonastick and they show you all the test types (OPK AND HCG) I found it informational, ut I also found the OPK never worked right for me because I was irregular... Hense the reason why I tell people about the ovulation watch that worked great........... My Progress: I'm still PG and dealing with an incompetend OBGYN who hasn't gotten back to me on some simple beta levels that were drawn on Friday mourning and here it's Monday afternoon. I've been keeping track of progress myself through HCG tests to watch them get brighter every day.... I'm pretty conviced that every thing should be okay with this pregnacy, but I would feel a whole lot better if a professional told me that..... Well, good luck ladies, and let's bring on the BFPs....

irish: actually i took another test today after waking up from my night's sleep and there is no second line. so that day was definitely the darkest. i know all about the opk's and what colour the lines have to be to be a positive or negative. my problem is that i didn't test the day after or the day that i had all the pain and pressure and am wondering if i missed my O. and my main question was that if i had not ovulated, would the pain and bloating have gone away or stuck around at least for another day or so? that's what makes me wonder.

Well, I'm feeling more positive today. I still havent got my AF, so maybe there is hope after all. I pretty sure i ovulated, just because i had all the pains and (sorry TMI warning) increased CM, which i havent had any of for 2 years. I also think ive got my dates alittle mixed up i think im actually due my AF tomorrow. So its still a waiting game

Dinks: Keep us posted on your progress.................. Teddyfinch: I do think you missed the peek... I know that the lines start to disapear after you've ovulated.... Either that, or you had residue hormones from the clomid and your peek is yet to come.... My peek taking clomid from CD2-6 was on day cd15..... So it is possible those tests weren't accurate, and you could still be waiting to ovulate... That's why I love the watch, no guessing at the strips........................ As for me.... Betas came back for friday's test... They were only 12..... Hopefully they double soon or I'm doomed to loose this one as well..... I'm going in today on Tuesday to do anouther level... Well be a day or two before I find out the results.... God, I hope every thing is okay.....

irish: that would be horrible if i haven't ovulated yet lol. i'm already on cd21. but i think with all the pain and pressure i was having i think i did O. i have been cramping a lot yesterday and today so maybe af is on her way. i'd be happy with that. anyway, though, i'll keep you in my prayers that this little beanie sticks.

Irish I hope that everything is ok. I dont really know what I can say other than we are here to share the highs and lows that come and hopefully we can offer each other some words of comfort. Teddy: I did the same as you according to the ovulation sticks, I ovulated really early. Here in the UK i cant buy the watch that Irish recommended, and they wont ship them to the UK; so i guess i just have to keep using the sticks! Update with me: I still am not pregnant and still no AF. Not got a clue what is going on with me to be honest

Hello, I too am taking u/p clomid I ordered. I am on my second cycle. The side effects wern't bad at all just some hot flashes. I am 27 healthy female on 150 mgs. I think my cm became hostile and now ordered preseed for the next cycle.

yeah i noticed my cm became very hostile or non existant lol. only problem was it affected dh into thinking it was a problem on his part. i had to show him all the posts about how clomid pretty much dries you out and that's why i was taking the robitussin. he said next month he's all for the stuff lol.

I was the opposite, I didnt have any CM for a couple for years and then i took the clomid and ive had loads. Sorry if thats too much information!

Okay, PG update ladies.... Betas from last week were only a 12 as you ladies know..... I was freeking because they drew that up on Friday mourning.... I retook my test Tuesday mourning which is four days later... Betas are supposed to double every 2-3days or 48-72 hours.... My test came back for tuesday and it was 106.... So it's doubeling, very slowly rising or I might be earlier then I originally thought I was.... Maybe my egg poped out a little later athough having s_x during the fertile window still worked.... Still crossing fingers that things prgress... I get anouther beta monday after Thanksgiving weekend... (For those not in the US.... That's this week end from thursday untill sunday and then they reopen on monday). The Dr said not to worry, that the level increase was good, but they still wnat to monitor it closely to see it go above 2,000 and get an ultrasound hopefully with in the next week or two.... ................................................................... I loved using preseed, and my CM although I had it.... It was hostile and started to dry from having s_x every day for 5-6days streight.... The stuff was awsome and it felt like my own CM.... I used it inside the instead cups for an extra coating while they were hovering in there and also inside myself about 15 minuites before s_x.... Well, the stuff does work.... All of the stuff I did worked..... So, I wish you all the best of luck.....

Ladies, where did you all go.... Aren't some of you ladies spposed to be testing some time soon? My update is that I'm still pregnant.... Starting to feel a little more pregnant with body changes like my b___sts, my palvic regious feels sort of swollen, and giiiiiirls, don;t eat Turkey when you get PG.... You'll do nothing but clear rooms....LOL... I go in for blod work tomarrow, so I should have the results by Tuesday hopefully... I'll keep you posted on the results.... I feel every thing should be okay..., but you never know... I thought every thing was okay last month untill the miscarriage.... Well, keep every one posted on what's going on, good or bad....

irish: a continued congrats on your pregnancy! i'm on cd28 but one month will be on the 29th of this month so soon. i doubt i'd test at that time anyway, though. i'll probably wait because i've had so many bfn's that i don't want to see another. i'd rather give af a chance to get here. cramping's gone down for me, heartburn has just arrived, still get a little dizzy, and i've had a lot of headaches lately. i usually get a headache with af, but these have gone away with tylenol and with af, that doesn't work. another thing i've been tracking is my cp and it's high and soft. like so high i almost can't reach it. that's one thing i've always been able to count on to let me know when af is on her way so i hope she stays away! lol. anyway, how far along were you last time before you m/c irish?

Teddyfinch: I wasn't very far along... I litterally lost it the day after my period was due... It was heart breaking none-the-less sense we had been trying for 3 1/2 years... So when I got PG the very next cycle on the clomid, I was so surprised, I'm now at 39-40 past my last period.... BFP are beautiful now.... But I'm still nervous about the tests come monday... I guess if they turn out okay... Then I'll be able to relax...finally.... The soft cervix is a good sign... The progestrone that your body produces during implantation creates a softer cervix.... Mine went soft with both pregnacies, it was one of my first early signs, now my cervix is extreemly plush and fat, and high... Your cervic usually goes high after ovulation and just before your period, but the cervix getting soft and plush.... oh, do we dare to hope.... I'm crossing my fingers for you....

durante baby: Wow a very colorful piece if I do say so myself.... Very expressional....LOL Any ways, Tish has moved on as most people who realize that their opinions with out facts are unwelcome here. I'm pregnant already so you can have your banana now, but last thing I knew, bananas help fertility because of the high amount of potasium, and if your handing them out for people to fall, well then I'm afraid you've atched waaaay too many cartoons my dear..LOL It's kewl though.... I don't hate you for your opinion, and it's noted you're not in here for support, so good luck with your endevors....
