BFP with Clomid

My hubby & I have been ttc for about 2 yrs. You name it we tried it! My ob/gyn decided to put me on Clomid 50mg days 5-9 then the Novarel 10000 shot. The only thing he found was borderline low prog. I got the shot on Friday Feb 1st then a +opk the next afternoon. We bd Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon using Pre-Seed. I had to wait 14 days after the shot to make sure it was out of my system before testing. I got my BFP on Feb 17th (16 days after the shot) which I believe was 14 or 15dpo.

1-7dpo No symptoms nada!
8 dpo Sharp pain on left side implantation?
9-12dpo Mild cramping
13-15dpo Nipples sore & still sore & noticed cervix high & soft. No period so I tested with fmu BFP!

For me the biggest sign was having little to no symptoms just like my first pregnancy with my son who is 2 1/2 now. My symptoms for my first pregnancy really didn't kick in til 5 or 6 weeks along. This pregnancy is the same way.

I wanted to share this for all of you ttc & feeling like you're losing hope. I stalked symptoms & methods/products anything I could find to try! It can happen for you! Don't ever give up!

I just want to tell those ladies who feel like they are out of the game, hang in there! I was so positive I was getting my period! Felt exactly the same! Even woke up with really bad period cramps one night and decided to take Inuprofen because I was that convinced. And that was cd 13 so I'm pretty sure it wasn't implantation cramping. The only thing off was that my boobs weren't sore and they always are before my period. I'm now 6.5 weeks and still no symptoms other than tired. This was my first round of 50mg clomid days 3-7. I tried for 9 cycles on my own, doctor was pretty sure I was ovulating on my own but thought the clomid could help. I just want to tell everyone hang in there! I was so discouraged and it happened. And the show ain't over til period sings!

I am still in shock!! A little background info: I am 29 and DH is 32. I had been on the pill since I was 17. I went off of it right before we got married 2010 and then had extremely painful and heavy periods. I made a big deal about it with my OBGYN and she sent me for testing. It turned out I had an abnormal cyst on my left ovary which she wanted to remove. So, after surgery and successful removal of the cyst I was diagnosed with endometreosis. During the surgery the doc said he "cleaned it up" as best he could.

After this the doctor advised me to either try to get pregnant or go back on the pill. Since we had just gotten married, we wanted to wait so I went back on the pill for another year. Then, I stopped taking the pill in June of 2012. I waited and waited and my period never came. Two months later I called the OBGYN. She sent me to a fertility specialist because of my history and they did the whole work up. All the tests came back good and hubby has "super sperm". So, they induced my period (had to do this 2x) and we started clomid in December. The doc monitored my cycles with blood work 2x a month and ultra sound. And finally, after the second round of clomid I have a BFP!!! We are so excited!!

So since I was obsessed with reading everyone else's day by day symptoms, here are mine:

I believe I ovulated on cycle day 19 (doc and fertility friend agree). Positive OPK on CD 18, 19, and 20. BD on cycle day 18, 19, 20. I have had creamy/watery cm since ovulation.

1-2 DPO - Sore nips and cramps (normal for me)
3-4 DPO - Slightly sore nipples (usually don't last this long) and I noted I had tons of energy and just felt really good.
5-7 DPO - nothing to speak of.
8-9 DPO - CRAMPS and bloated! I thought AF was on her way. DPO 9 I woke up at about 4 am with cramps.
10 DPO - Outer breasts became sore and felt briefly nauseous in the evening. Also, I didn't keep track of the specific day (but around day 10) because I didn't think it was related but now I do, I started waking up in the middle of the night with dry mouth. I drink water and I am still thristy. This is still going on! Also, my hair is so dry! I use all the good stuff in my hair and lately it is cracking and splitting and nothing I do seems to help - this is not normal! It is driving me crazy and I am hoping this ends soon. I have read that other people have also experienced this. Oh, and my skin is extremely dry also. I am drinking a lot more water.
11 DPO - Cramps, sore boobs (not usual for me before AF) My luteal phase was 10 days last month so I was convinced AF was going to show up any minute.
12-13 DPO - Nothing, all symptoms gone, boobs a bit sore but I thought it was in my head.
14 DPO - Cramps, bloated, and emotional! Convinced my period was coming, I flipped out during a tv show when one the characters had her baby. Started crying and went to bed at 7:30. DH thought I was losing it!
15 DPO - Slight cramps, but more like pressure.
16 DPO - Couldn't wait anymore and tested. Very clear BFP! I go to the doctor Monday morning to confirm. I didn't want to test early because I was so sick of being let down and wasting money on pregnancy tests.

I have to say that I prayed every morning for God to help me except his timing and for him to help me cope and stay strong! He works miracles and I am very blessed! I will pray for all of you waiting for your BFP. Thanks for reading my book and baby dust to you :-)

Got my BFP today super super faint at 9 DPO and hoping that it gets darker as its supposed to.

So here go the details...

Tubal reversal in 2011, miscarriages in December 2011, march 2012, August 2012, and November 2012.

Reproductive endocrinologist put me on 100 mg Clomid days 5-9, and 3DPO I started progesterone supplements 200 mg twice a day.

I have been taking prenatals for over a year along with baby aspirin. This month I took EPO from CD10 to Ovulation, and a B-complex every day. Also took guaiafenisen CD 10 to ovulation, 10 mL (200mg) 3x/day.

Clomid made me very irritable and emotional. Cervical pain and some dryness. Ovulated later than I had on Clomid previously, CD18.

Cramps every day after ovulation, headaches, back aches, extreme fatigue, and a lot of having to get up to go pee.

Just got the nerve to test in the middle of the afternoon and got a faint positive!

So excited

Ok so we have had a few miscarriages and this will be my 5th pregnancy.
I took clomid cd 2-6, we used the persona fertility monitor and charted
We did nothing different than we had been doing, we bd whenever the mood took and made sure we did on a peak day.
cd 17 ovulation day
1dpo - nothing to report
2dpo - cats acting weird, wanting extra attention meowing and following me around
3dpo - felt like I was getting sick
4dpo - started coughing, bleeding gums
5dpo - viral chest infection started and feeling off food
6dpo - hot at night, dream of bfp and cats harassing me again bfn on ic
7dpo - faint line again on ic more bleeding gums and a break out of cold sores and mouth ulcers
8dpo - 3 faint lines but still had to squint feeling very hungry and dry cm
9dpo - faint lines again on ic's decided to take a frer and BFP!!!!

Overall I had all my classic signs from my previous pregnancies including an acne breakout and skin problems but the main symptom was the absence of PMS I had none at all.

Hello, I've been board stalking and agonizing for three long years with never a BFP at all. I have two children from a previous marriage, but it had been years since I'd been pregnant again. My partner and I have been together 4 years, been ttc for 3. We are both 29. He had never gotten anyone pregnant before so he was convinced that he was infertile. I had undergone some traumas and was convinced that I had blocked tubes or something wrong since the birth of my last child. I was diagnosed with thin PCOS and my periods were very irregular. I do ovulate on my own, but my cycles would last up to 50 days and I ovulated sometimes as late as cd38!! I started seeing an RE. I'm a nurse so I was able to figure out a lot of things on my own (the RE was very relaxed and unconcerned). I was told that my progesterone levels were fine, but I requested the actual numbers and even after ovulation it was below 10, which is okay, but seemed a bit low to me. I definitely noticed higher BBT with the progesterone. I had a"Fallback" at 2dpo on my chart and another dip @ 8dpo (implant?) I started supplementing with progesterone cream, demanded a round of generic Clomid (100mg days 5-9) and got an HSG all in a matter of weeks. I timed BD just right and waited. I got my first BFP in over 7 years with 3 years of TTC. I don't know what did it, the HSG lubricating my tubes or the Clomid boosting my egg (I o'd on cd 17 this time-early for me) or the progesterone cream getting my levels where they need to be...but I am going to the doctor today to confirm with a Beta. Ive taken 4 hpts all positive though. I am now only 15dpo, got my bfp at 13dpo. I am having vivid dreams, night sweats and no appetite at all....but this was after my BFP. Prior to 13DPO, I only had some mild cramping and my nipples became bumpy and larger. I did notice that I skipped my crazy PMS and didn't cramp for days before like I normally do before AF. Good luck to everyone! :)

Hello Ladies,

I am so happppy to get to share my experience with all of you wonderful ladies. After 6 months of TTC, I finally got my BIG FAT POSITIVE!!!! I found out today and baby is due in October. I have been TTC for 6months. The first month I had a chemical pregnancy. This seemed to mess up my cycles and they went from 33days to 37 days or more. I have never had very irregular cycles until I had the chemical miscarriage. So for the next 5 months I was using OPK's and BD'd just before positive OPK and day of positive OPK only which I think is what made me unsuccessful. As my cycles continued to get longer. The longest being 42 days apart my Dr. prescribed me 50 mg of clomid. The first cycle on clomid no pregnancy but then again I only BD had twice that cycle. After 5 months of TTC, I noticed that my period would come 17 days after my first positive OPK which means I am one of those women that ovulates 3 days after my first positive not the very next day or two like internet or the box says. So with this info, my partner and I BD'd the first day of positive OPK, and three days after that. I used Pre-Seed as suggested by many of the women on this sight. AND Lookeee We got our BFP on 11 dpo. Here are the symptoms, I thought I was crazy to be having them so EARLY btw:
Positive OPK day 18 but likely O'd day 21 , positive OPk for 5 days is normal for me. I could not find much internet research on this
1-5 DPO breasts hurt on the side , very sleepy, woke up feeling icky like I had a sour stomach went away once I ate
5-9- pulling and pinching in uterus, ovaries hurt on right side , I am not sure if side effect of the clomid, sour icky nausea continued much better after food, craved mexican food
10-sore boobs- Temps rose to 98.8 WOW ! Never that high
11- Threw up in the morning after brushing teeth, sick all day - Took a First response and faint line appeared VERY faint line with pink, all the other months the FF were white, they really do detect HCG hormone very early. I did not have to break it apart and hold to light or stare at it for hours to see the faint line. It is definitely there.
ALSO my partner has been EXHAUSTED and sick to his stomach which I find interesting and amusing at the same time.
I keep thinking the nausea was in my head that I would never get my BFP ...

So what worked : clomid, PRE-SEED, frequent BD around the time of positive OPK and 3 days after that, fun BD not focused on just conceiving. Conceiving is supposed to be fun!!! Have Fun and I hope I ws able to help. I thought for sure it would not happen. Good luck TTC!

First of all, I want to say how grateful I am to this page! It was a very big help and distraction during the last two weeks. I was on my first round of Clomid (50mg) and went to the doc today for a check-in and got the BFP today (it's a weak one, but positive)! I hadn't tested myself before as I used to have 39-day cycles and thought it might be too early. Couldn't help myself and did when I got home. :) Ahhhh, what a beautiful experience to read "PREGNANT" on the CBD.

Here are my symptoms:
DPO 01-03: Light, ovulation-like cramping
DPO 04-05: Slight nosebleeds while working out; itchy/dry skin (thought it might be the heater running)
DPO 06-07: A bit white and creamy CM; light cramping; craving salty NY style pizza (not my usual favorite kind)
DPO 09-10: Slight cramping; left BB feels fuller (?); bad skin on chest; tired despite caffeine drink; temp spike; ear ache
DPO 11-12: White and creamy CM in the afternoon; cravings continue & dislike a meal I liked the day before; bloated & gassy; mild cramping; lower back pain; lower abdomen feels harder and enlarged; temp dip on CD11 > cough/sore throat coming on?
DPO 13: Temp rises; hard, enlarged lower abdomen, feeling good and energized; in the afternoon sore chest (cough coming?)
DPO 14: Temp steady; slight cramping; in the afternoon: elevated temp, feel like I am getting sick, headache, very tired, hot then cold then hot...
DPO 15: I feel better than yesterday; slight cramping; BFP at docs; first US scheduled for 2/5!!! :)

Overall, the harder & bit bulging lower abdomen was my biggest symptom...it just felt different. What we did: Clomid (generic) CD5-9; BD every other day CD13-21; OPKs never showed positive, but temp chart indicated O was CD17/18. PreSeed used only externally; Prenatal vitamins & folic acid

Now I need to just relax and enjoy (and not tell everyone I see LOL)! I wish all of you patience, positive energy, and happiness throughout your TWW. Baby dust to you all!
