Tasha--You also might be having positive signs. Clomid is a bit of a mystery in terms of its processing from your body. Generally speaking it is mostly gone within 10-15 days. However, studies have shown that it still has measurable levels in the body 6 months after you've taken it. (There's some suggestion that it continues to affect subsequent cycles even if you don't take it again and that back-to-back cycles may (in some people) function as if you have taken a higher dose.) Hence, most doctors require a medication hiatus after 3 back-to-back cycles.
I definitely had clomid symptoms for about 2 weeks after taking it and both my DW's and my symptoms got worse with each subsequent cycle.
Assuming that you've actually taken clomid (the generic), you may want to try asking for Seraphene (the name brand) in subsequent cycles. My doctor says that the side effects are worse with the generic (and this was true for my DW) and my pharmacist says that the name brand is actually cheaper because everyone orders the generic. It might not help, but, anything that can reduce the symptoms is nice.
If you recorded an LH surge, then, you should have ovulated. So, I've got my fingers crossed for you!
I actually took clomiphene citrate(i think that's right). I am not sure if these are clomid side effects or not but I am dealing with it either. I didn't trigger so I am just hoping that the pains that I felt were because of ovulation because my temps are all over the place and so are my OPKs. I had a positive one day and then negative the next and then right when the ovulatory pain started it went positive again and it's been that way ever since. Don't know how to read this but I am sure I ovulated and I have inseminated everyday from day 11 to day 15. I hope this works....

Tasha-Clomid was a nightmare for me i felt so awful. that is why the switched me to tamaxophin.
I went to the RE on Sat. everything was fine, I started the pills then, and I will do Bravelle injections with the HCG & I am also continuing accupuncture. I am hopeful and really looking forward to starting this again...at least I know now it works right. I still am scared but I guess I will always be until the baby is actually here....then there is a whole new box of issues to worry about!
my thoughts are with you all,

Hi Ladies,
For the first time today I feel like I could be pregnant. FF says that I am 4dpo. Last night I could hardle sleep and I went to the bathroom 3 times, it was really weird. I am still going to say that it's all in my head but at least there was something. Today I have a headache and I still feel a bit bloated, not to mention the fact that since yesterday I have felt like I am trying to come down with a cold or something. It did rain the weekend though and I could really be getting sick because of that. I am completely obsessive about this so I am going to try to relax and wait it out.

well i still have a little bit of hope i guess but the nurse at the doctors office which she is the only nurse who i dislike there called me back this morning and said and i qoute " you started your period and you might want to take a break next month" and she didnt even let me explaing what was going on and that its way too early for me to start.. ii almost lit off in her butt but iwas able to control myself..i am to the tee with my period and this is way too early.. so im hoping to prove her wrong.. but iheard that many women think the bleeding is af im just not thouroughly convinced yet.. especially since my day one on af im in excruciating pain.. im so flippin confused right now i hate this..
what the hell is wrong with me ... why cant i get pregnant.. i get so mad at the end of cycle and I fear I willnever know what its like to be pregnant.. it feels lke everyone around me is getting pregnant... I just had no idea it would be this difficult especially when at this point its unexplained... I dont know what else to do or what to think I just hate the disppointment after every single month.. im just thinking maybe me and the wife need to hit up the backseat of the four runner, get drunk, and shoot up some man milk and see how that treats us seems to work for everyone else especially these lovely teens i work for that get pregant at the drop of a dime.. its absolutely ridiculous if youask me... i still dont know if this is my af or if imbleeding just for the hell of it or what.. ill just chalk it up to af cuz apparently i cant get pregnant

Starzz - God, I am so sorry. I really understand how it feels to get negative after negative. It is so freeking unfair! ALL I have ever wanted in my life was to be a mom to a bunch of kids. I am unable to get pregnant - but I know a bunch of women (girls) who get knocked up at the drop of a hat (some of them in my own family!). Just keep ranting away - venting does help.
To post a picture I use Photobucket. Go to their website & start an account. It's free & easy to use. I am not so good at computer stuff & I figured it out. You just upload a picture from your computer into a photobucket album then resize & copy. Then go to "edit signature" on your SheKnows "MySK" tab. Have I confused you? I probably could explain it better.
Give it a try - good luck!
