BFP with Clomid

1-4 DPO: clear CM
5-6 DPO: mild cramps more like twinges on left side; clear CM; BB sore to touch (this is earlier than pre-AF); gassy; felt too hot at night; vivid dreams; mild insomnia, less sleep than usual yet bounced out of bed in morning feeling energetic; partner tells me I am irritable and "hope it's because you're preggo!"
7 DPO: all of above but twinges on left side increased; very tired by 6pm
8 DPO: all of above but creamy CM; twinges on left and right sides; low abdominal aches, much milder than AF cramps
9-10 DPO: bb not as sore; very few twinges; low back ache; feel full faster; feel bloated; vivid dreams; very tired; very little CM
11 DPO: vivid dreams; woke up with cramps, felt very much like AF; twinges in lower abdomen throughout morning; no CM; felt faint and dizzy briefly mid-morning; off and on cramping during the day; feel bloated; bb moderately sore. Took EPT HPT in morning, partner saw nothing, I thought (imagined??) I saw a very faint second line. POAS obsession: took a CBE HPT mid-afternoon, again I saw the faintest line but partner only looked at me like I may be crazy. Definitely too faint to feel comfortable calling it a +HPT. Hard not to get hopes up now. Late evening, tested using FRER and finally a definite (faint) line, a +HPT! Even my partner finally saw this one. We aren't telling anyone yet for fear of a chemical pg but we are definitely optimistic and excited.
Update: Strong, fast BFP this morning, 14 DPO. Going to tell parents and OBGYN tomorrow. BBs quite sore now and heavier, fatigued all day, vivid dreams, hard to sleep, hungry every 3 hours, sore gums, gassy, very little CM, occasionally light-headed (trying to eat more nutritiously/more regularly to reduce this), bloated, mild cramps and twinges in abdomen. I'm 35, had my 1st pg earlier this year after 4 IUI cycles, but miscarried at ten weeks, so I am thrilled with this new pg but predictably anxious; praying for healthy baby!

So a little background about us... We stopped taking oral contraceptives in Sept 2011 after I was on them for 9 years. My cycles were 35-43 days for the first few after stopping OCPs which was frustrating, but I guess is not uncommon. In Feb 2012, we started using OPKs and found out I ovulated very late (day 25 to 29), so we may have been timing BDing wrong (used the calendar method previously). My cycles continued to be long and I figured out my luteal phase was only 9 days, which concerned me. I started taking Vitamin B6 and B Complex to try to lengthen my lutueal phase. This seemed to push my ovulation up a few days (CD 21-24) and extended my luteal phase by a couple of days (YAY!). After two months of taking Vitamin Bs, I started spotting from 7dpo on and my luteal phase seemed to go back to 9 days, but now with spotting (ugh!). So, I stopped the B vitamins. At this point, it was getting close to the year of TTC mark, so I set up an appointment with a fertility specialist on Sept 20, 2012. I was given a prescription for Clomid and was excited to start it next cycle. The doc thought Clomid would help strengthen ovulation and the luteal phase would take care of itself with stronger ovulation. He offered to give me a med to start my period as well (I was on CD 22 with no sign of ovulation yet). I declined, because I should have been ovulating any day after the appointment and didn't want to mess anything up with my cycle by using another med. Well, I ovulated on CD 26 and saw my beautiful BFP 10 dpo!!!!!!! This was my first ever positive pregnancy test. I also must mention that I was VERY sick with a head cold from 1 dpo to 4 dpo and wasn't worrying much about TTC. Also, I think the doctor's appt gave me some relief that we were finally getting help so I wasn't worrying about this cycle as much. It's crazy how things work!!!!! Now I have a $900 bill to pay for the specialist, but it will be worth it for my BFP!

CD24- + opk
CD25- + opk BD in pm (no other BD was close!) EWCM
CD26- + opk Ovulation day
1-4 dpo- SICK with head cold
6 dpo- EWCM--really tipped me off that something was different this cycle!!
7 dpo- acne between boobs
9 dpo- boobs feel full and look bigger, nipples erect
10 dpo- woke up with stomach cramps and had to pee sooo bad, faint line on wondfo hpt with fmu, + FRER hpt

We feel so blessed! The timing of this was so right too.. I was just in my BF's wedding and we just got back from a vacation with friends that had been planned for a while, so I was able to drink at both!

Good luck to everyone trying and try to relax :)

Shock...in absolute shock is what I am!!

My husband and I have been trying for 10 months. We started 50mg of clomid CD 3-7. I went in for my progesterone check and ultrasound at CD 21 and it was negative. But 3 days later I FELT myself ovulating, had EWCM and a positive OPK.

Good luck ladies!

Got my beta back this morning from 14dpiui- it's 269! Omg we simply cannot believe it...here's why:
DH is 46, I am 39 (for 1 more month, anyway! lol) We have been married almost 6 years, 2nd marriages for both of us, no kids from prior marriages. DH is a testicular cancer survivor, so we have to use donor semen. We tried a bunch of IUIs 'au naturale', resulting in a bunch of BFNs. We took a year off, switched fertility clinics, and due to me being over 35 by then, the new Drs put me on a cocktail of drugs: Clomid 50mg, Estrace, Ovidrel & Crinone suppositories. BAM! 1st cycle resulted in BFP, our wonderful, amazing DS who turns 2 this month. We then stored 3 more samples of same donor at the cryobank. We want our kids to be close in age, so last summer we begin IUIs again, all BFNs. Purchase & store more samples. More BFNs. Repeat labs on me, which now show low ovarian reserve. Arrrugh! Cryobank informs us in spring there are just 3 more samples available, motility of 5-9 million, and donor is not returning to the donation program. We do 2 more IUIs this summer, take a month off, come to terms that DS will be an only child, and seriously, I'm fine with it overall. I'm an 'only', also. We are both burnt out by the emotional & financial roller coaster of infertility, and we aren't getting any younger. We do this last IUI with our last sample, and due to the Estrace making me loopy & the Crinone being expensive, making my lady bits itch & burn (sorry, TMI) & being just plain GROSS(anyone who has used this knows EXACTLY what I mean), I skip those 2 drugs. So, symptoms as follows:
CD10: Follicle check shows 5 follies, 2 lead follies at 17 & 18mm.
CD11: HCG trigger 10pm. Dr told me to trigger next morning, but I'm going all wildcard maverick with the drugs anyway, so I trigger early. Something just tells me: 'Do it tonight'
CD13: leave work early for 3:30pm IUI. (Boss is a bit delighted this is my last try, thankfully he has been patient with me leaving work for all my appointments, ultrasounds, repeat ultrasounds, etc.) Tell Dr I feel ouchy pressure in uterus, hope its not OHS. (In hindsight, I must have been ovulating!!!) DH cracks me up beyond belief after IUI (after Dr leaves the room, of course) making this 'sperm swimming' motion with his hands while humming the Hawaii 5-0 theme. I told you we were both a bit burnt over all this! lol
1-7dpiui: Enjoying (NOT!) all the lovely pregnancy symptoms the 10,000 units of HCG trigger gives me. If that's not a sick joke, I don't know what is. Grateful when I feel them going away, unfortunately by now, I know what the feeling of the drug leaving my body is like!
8dpiui: Ran a 5K, had to walk a few times because I was tired & couldn't catch my breath. Huh??? What's up with that?? Got up in middle of night to pee. Must be all the hydrating for the race...
9dpiui: My BBs aren't sore anymore, but my nipples are WICKED sensitive & not in a good way. Sports bra chafe from the 5K yesterday? Never happened before, and I ran a 15K 6 weeks ago with no problem. Having trouble sleeping, too. Again with the peeing at 3am.
10dpiui: HUNGRY! Oh wow, I'm hungry. Like every few hours. Deep growly hunger. Very tired, too. That's fun with a toddler...not. Spend 2 days in viscious mood. I'm usually grumpy before AF, but this is really bad. Like want-to-rip-people's-arms-off bad mood. Poor DH. :( Go to farmer's market to get my favorite fresh Brie & mango crepe and get all queasy eating the Brie part. HUH??
11dpiui: Wake up in great mood despite being up to pee in middle of night AGAIN. Start to think: 'Maybe??? Nah....' Nipples beyond sore, sides of BBs starting to get sore too.
12dpiui: Still ravenous. Have to spend a lot of time in car driving to a multi-day veterinary conference 2hrs away. Demolish box of Triscuits in car. Can't concentrate on lecture because all I can think of is lunch. Notice my lower abdomen feels fuller under my seatbelt in all the time I spend in my car today. Decide to POAS evening of 13dpiui/ 15dpt when DH gets home from work.
13dpiui: All symptoms continue: sore nips & BBs, hungries, frequent bathroom trips, full lower belly, tired. Also having some uterine twinges I kind of remember from pregnancy with DS, but that was more like 6-7 weeks along then. DH comes home from work, cracks a Sam Adams, then I POAS (FRER) & we watch it together...and the 1st line develops before the wet moves all the way across. OMG we are in shock. We are still speechless as the control line develops...BFP!!!!!!

Ovulated on 9/13 - 9/14, had timed intercourse on Clomid (took it cycle days 3-7) 3 times. Was super angry with horrible mood swings this past weekend, a little tightness in my lower abdomen and I came down with a horrible cold out of nowhere just a few days ago. Breasts also really hurt but they always did when it came time for AF, so I was convinced this was another BFN on my hands. I was supposed to wait until 16 dpo per my fertility doctor's orders, but couldn't wait any longer. Took an early prediction test today on my lunch hour and two lines appeared almost instantly! I finally got my BFP! I can't believe it; my husband and I are still in shock... but totally on Cloud 9! Baby dust to all!
